The Concubine's Daughter Travels Through Time and Space and Takes the Road of Confrontation

Miss Lu lay on the bed, tears welling up in her eyelashes. "Prince, do you dislike my appearance?"

The man in black clothes sitting at the table frowned and said, "Princess, take care of yourself. Excessive worry is not good for your health."

"Then can you come closer to me?" Miss Lu's eyelashes trembled slightly, and her cheeks hidden under the mask were stained with a few red clouds. She seemed to feel that her words were too much. She hurriedly made up for it, "I have been dreaming about the scene of myself falling into the water recently. The wind was strong and the waves were fierce. The river water was cold. I-"

Before he could finish his words, he saw the man at the table standing up from his stool.

Miss Lu was overjoyed, her voice carrying a barely perceptible sweetness as she asked, "Prince?"

Zhou Boli walked over to her side with an expressionless face and stood still. "The princess always likes to say that the river water is cold. How cold is it?"

Miss Lu's expression froze slightly, and she quickly lowered her eyes. A tear fell from her cheek, and she looked very pitiful. "Although the river water is cold, these on my face still hurt more."

Raising her hand to wipe away the tears, she looked up at the man, tentatively grasped a corner of his clothes, bit her lower lip and said softly, "Prince, have I seen you before? You give me a very familiar feeling."

Liuzi walked in with a serious face and said, "Master, the potatoes you arranged for the trial planting last time have been harvested. The chieftains of Yunnan, Yelang, and Western Shu are already waiting in the study."

Seeing that his master didn't move, Liuzi took a step forward and said in a more serious tone, "Master, business is more important."

Miss Lu was understanding and immediately let go of his hand. With tears in her eyes, she said pitifully, "It is indeed urgent business. Prince, please go over quickly."

After everyone left, Tonghua walked into the house carrying the medicine soup and said, "Girl, drink the medicine quickly."

Miss Lu looked gloomy and said, "Put it there first."

Tonghua was in a dilemma. Master Liu had privately warned her several times, telling her to make sure the girl took the medicine well and took care of her body. He advised her, "Young lady, you have to drink the medicine while it's hot. It won't work if it's cold."

Miss Lu closed her eyes and said, "I'm tired and want to take a nap. You go out."

Tonghua was stunned, responded hesitantly, put the tray on the table and walked out.

As he walked, Liuzi bent down and stretched out his hand to smooth out the wrinkled corner of his master's clothes, muttering, "Just talk, why did you resort to violence? Our princess never does this."

Zhou Boli let him do what he wanted. "What is Qin Yuanfu doing now?"

Liuzi scratched his head. "Ada said that Miss Qin threw several piglets covered in red silk to the place where the princess fell into the water."

Zhou Boli paused when he heard this. Liuzi couldn't brake in time and almost bumped into him. He staggered to his feet and said, "Master?"

Zhou Boli raised his hand to signal him not to speak. "How much Soul-Chasing Incense is left in the mansion?"

Liu Zi was confused and answered honestly, "The Soul-Chasing Incense hasn't been used for a long time. There was still one box left. If the medicinal properties are still there, it will probably be enough for four uses."

"Send them all to Qin Yuanfu, and bring the hunting dogs from the mansion over as well."

Dashou listened carefully to Ah Da's introduction of the uses of the Soul-Chasing Incense and nodded to indicate that he understood.

Ah Da walked out of the house and walked to the open space outside to touch the big, sleek dogs one by one. "My dears, it's up to you these days."

Huihui was tied to the pillar under the corridor, with its two front legs raised high. When it smelled the scent of its unfamiliar companion, it began to growl uneasily.

Hong Fei quickly patted his head soothingly, "Hui Hui, don't be afraid."

Ah Da had long noticed this little grey-black fellow, who looked like both a wolf and a dog. He went over with a bashful face and said, "Miss Hong Fei, this dog is so cute. Can I pet it?"

The gray tail hung down behind him, and he bared his teeth and said, "Woof!" No!

Ah Da touched his nose and laughed awkwardly, "Haha, the little guy has a temper."

Hong Fei looked at the black-faced man in front of her, lowered her head and introduced Hui Hui, "Hui Hui, this is Big Brother."

Huihui tilted his head to look, then closed his mouth, but remained very alert.

Ah Da: “——” I always feel like something is not right.

The rice had all been harvested, and Jiang Nu and Grandma had been picking mushrooms for a few days and had already explored the surrounding mountains and forests.

It rained heavily in the mountains in the afternoon. It stopped just before bedtime. The old man looked up at the starry sky and said, "Son, tomorrow will be a good day. I guess a lot of mushrooms will grow in the mountains again. It's a pity that I can't go tomorrow because I have to plant rice."

Jiang Nu's eyes lit up. "Grandma, I know the way now and I can pick mushrooms. I can do it by myself."

The old man asked worriedly, "Do you really know the way?"

Jiang Nu nodded vigorously. "I remember. I won't run around."

The old man gave a few more instructions: "Don't touch the grass nests in the mountains, don't take the beautiful ones, pat them before picking, and don't pick those that are too small--"

"I understand, grandma." After pushing the old man to sleep, Jiang Nv, lying on the bed, began to plan the route to pick chicken mushrooms in her mind. On the way back, she would shoot a pheasant and stew the two together into a soup that would be so delicious that it would make your mouth water.

Finally, when she could see the moon even while lying in bed, Jiang Nu got up and went to the kitchen, carrying a small bamboo basket and a small hoe. Before leaving, she subconsciously touched the purse tied at her waist, which was hard and a little prickly.

Jiang Nu held the torch and plunged into the night.

When a glimmer of light appeared on the horizon, she had already arrived at the pine forest where she was picking mushrooms. The forest was shrouded in a layer of white mist, and the ground under her feet was soft and damp.

All was quiet, and after extinguishing the torch, Jiang Nu took a sip of water and began to concentrate on finding mushrooms.

Jiang Nu's eyes lit up, and a cluster of gray fungi crowded together under the roots of an old tree came into her sight, just like the dry fungi her grandmother had talked about.

With two "puff" sounds, she used a hoe to dig out the largest piece.

There were a lot of mushrooms after the rain. Jiang Nu lowered her head and dug all the way in the woods. The mushrooms filled up half a bamboo basket.

Suddenly, she had a very ominous premonition and looked around. It was already daylight, and all she saw was lush green pine trees, nothing out of the ordinary.

A bunch of plump boletus mushrooms was hidden in the rotten leaves seven or eight steps away from her. Jiang Nu took a step forward, but her ominous premonition became stronger and stronger.

When Jiang Nu saw clearly what was lying behind the boletus, her hair stood on end and a chill sank from her head to her toes.

It has a triangular flat head with staggered black rings. It's poisonous! And it's extremely poisonous!

While keeping an eye on its movements, she retreated cautiously until she had taken seven or eight steps and confirmed that it was not chasing her. Then Jiang Nu turned quickly, protected the basket in her arms, and ran away.

Until they came to a rocky beach with a wide view, Jiang Nu sat down on the rock, looking at the half-remaining mushroom in her arms with a sad face.

She couldn't find her way back.

Wiping her face, Jiang Nu walked along the river, from sunrise to midday. The water became wider and wider, and her vision became more and more open. Then she saw a stone bridge. On the bridge sat a boy of seventeen or eighteen, holding a fishing rod and fishing.

"Brother, where is this place?"

Zhou Zhongyi looked at the dirty child with disgust and said, "Go away." After that, a person appeared out of nowhere and stood in front of her.

Jiang Nu was anxious. "Brother, I got lost while picking mushrooms this morning. Could you please show me the way?"
