My best friend is wearing a double body! Marry the emperor! Help me win the throne

Murong Mian came to the capital this time without many people. She disguised herself as an old woman in her fifties or sixties and left the city easily.

She waited for five full days at the place where she had agreed to meet Murong Ye, but Murong Ye never showed up to meet her.

Instead, imperial edicts came out from the palace one after another.

She was the Queen of Jiuzhou, but suddenly she became a traitor who collaborated with the enemy and betrayed her country.

In order not to reveal her whereabouts, she had to dress herself up as an old woman. She had never been so embarrassed in her life!

Now that Murong Ye has failed in forcing the emperor to abdicate, not only has she been implicated, but her husband has also been nailed to the traitor's pillar of shame.

She had selfish motives when she instigated Murong Ye to rebel. It was impossible for her to say that she had no resentment in her heart at this time.

Murong Mian frowned and remained silent for a long while before heaving a long sigh. "Forget it. Since A'ye hasn't arrived yet, he must have been held back by the pursuers. Let's not wait any longer and head back to Northern Frontier!"

Jiu Cai Hezi, who was standing beside him, disagreed and immediately retorted, "No! Your Highness, Murong Jun is injured. Perhaps he was delayed by something. Let's wait for them!"

The burns on her face had almost healed, but they left ugly scars, and she could only cover her face with a veil.

Murong Mian glanced sideways, meeting her determined gaze behind the veil, and his brows furrowed even tighter. "Ms. Hezi, you're not from Jiuzhou, so you don't know how serious it is to be charged with treason! If we're caught and taken hostage, we'll only become a weak spot and a burden to Aye!"

She really dislikes this Japanese princess. She has strong ideas and doesn't listen to orders. She is very annoying!

If she hadn't promised Murong Ye to take Jiu Cai Hezi to the northern border, she really wanted to get rid of this trouble!

Jiu Cai Hezi also disliked Murong Mian and felt that she didn't care about Murong Ye at all. "I have the ability to protect myself. I won't be caught. Since you don't plan to wait for Murong Jun, then I won't go with you!"

Murong Mian suppressed his impatience and spoke in a calm tone, "Miss Hezi, when Ah Ye left the palace, he specifically told me to take good care of you. If you leave without permission, how will I explain this to Ah Ye?"

Jiu Cai Hezi was too lazy to look at her hypocritical face, "No need for you to tell me, I will find him myself!"

After saying that, she grabbed her bag on the table, turned around and rushed out without hesitation.

Murong Mian's trusted confidant, who had been brought from the Northern Frontier, glanced at Jiu Cai Hezi's departing figure and asked Murong Mian, "Master, do you need me to bring him back?"

Murong Mian narrowed her beautiful eyes and pondered for a moment before she said decisively, "No need. We'll set off tonight and return to Northern Xinjiang as soon as possible!"

?

"Your Highness, it's time to change the dressing."

Si Sha stood outside the wooden house holding a tray with a pot of liquor, a bottle of wound medicine, a pair of scissors and a stack of gauze. He pushed the door open and entered after hearing a response from inside.

This wooden house was built by a nearby hunter. As the weather is getting colder and colder, it is difficult to hunt prey, so several wooden houses are temporarily uninhabited.

Si Sha was worried that Murong Ye's injury would continue to worsen if he kept on traveling, so he decided to hide in the mountains to rest for a while. It would be safer for them to leave after the search officers and soldiers returned empty-handed.

Murong Ye was lying on his side on the wooden bed, warming himself by the fire. When he saw him come in, he propped himself up and got up.

"Be careful, Your Highness!"

Si Sha quickly put the tray on the table beside him and rushed forward to help him.

Murong Ye sat up with great effort, his eyes full of self-mockery, "I can't even get out of bed on my own in this state. If it weren't for you, I would have been dead long ago."

"Your Highness, this subordinate's life is given by you. To this subordinate, you are the most important person! No matter what the road ahead holds, this subordinate will face it with you!"

"Murong Che has abolished my title of prince, so please don't call me Your Highness anymore. I'm two years older than you, so if you don't mind, you can call me brother."

"Your Highness! In my heart, you will always be the supreme and wise king!"

Si Sha said this and knelt down beside the wooden bed.

"Okay, stop kneeling so often. From now on, we don't have to worry about these empty formalities."

"Yes!"

Si Sha stood up, cut the gauze with scissors, and picked up the liquor flask. "Your Highness, it will be very painful to clean the wound with liquor. Please bear with it!"

When he was on missions in the past, he and his men were injured and couldn't find a doctor, so they had to treat each other's wounds.

Therefore, when he could not find a doctor to treat Murong Ye, Si Sha cleaned and treated the wound according to his own prescription.

Murong Ye nodded, "You pour it!"

I have been traveling all night these days and my wounds are bleeding frequently. They really need to be cleaned thoroughly.

The strong liquor was poured on the wound, and the burning pain instantly spread throughout Murong Ye's limbs and bones, but he didn't say a word.

He gritted his teeth and told himself in his heart that he must remember the pain and humiliation Murong Che brought him!

After cleaning the wound, Sisha applied medicine to him, then cut gauze with scissors and wrapped the wound layer by layer.

Murong Ye was already sweating coldly from the pain.

In the past, he lived a life of luxury and was very accommodating, bathing and burning incense every day.

During these days of escape, he was covered in blood and had not taken a bath.

But he didn't care much about it now. After changing the medicine, he lay back on the wooden bed.

He still has a lot of things to do, and nothing is more important than recovering from his injury as soon as possible!

Murong Ye lay at the head of the bed, paused for a moment, and whispered, "Calculating the date, the Nanzhao envoys should be arriving in Lingnan soon, right? Has there been any news from there?"

Si Sha nodded, "Two days ago, my subordinates sent a message directly, asking them to take action immediately after leaving Lingnan."

Outside Lingnan, there is a hilly area. That area belongs neither to Jiuzhou nor to Nanzhao.

This area, located on the border between the two countries, is often roaming with bandits, and pedestrians and vendors passing by are often robbed.

If we take action here, even if Murong Che is prepared, it will be too late.

After hearing what Si Sha said, Murong Ye raised the corners of his lips in satisfaction, "Si Sha, you arranged this matter very well."

After chatting with Si Sha for a few words, he felt overwhelmed.

Murong Ye didn't say much and soon closed his eyes to rest.

……

At the same time, Meng Shi and his envoys left Lingnan and entered a mountainous area.

These hills resemble tigers, so this place is also called Tiger Hill.

Meng Shi was also a highly respected general in Nanzhao. He looked at the completely darkening sky and raised the torch in his hand. "Everyone, please bear with us for a while. Once we cross this hill, we will be in Nanzhao!"

The road here was rugged, and they led their horses and moved forward slowly in the dim light of torches.

The places where the torches could not reach were pitch black, and from time to time one could hear some birds chirping, which made people feel creepy.

When they went to Jiuzhou, they crossed the hills during the day. They were escorted by the Nanzhao army and didn't think it was a big deal.

But at this moment, Lan Luo looked at the fog spreading around him, his right eyelid twitched, and a sudden ominous premonition surged in his heart, "General Meng, why is it still foggy here?"

Meng Shi sniffed and felt that the smell of the white mist was a little strange.

The next moment, his expression suddenly changed, and he shouted, "There's a drug in this fog! Everyone, cover your mouths and noses!"

Unfortunately, his reminder was too late, and most of the people in the team had already inhaled a lot of drugs in the mist.

Their bodies swayed uncontrollably and they felt dizzy.

Lan Luo raised his hand to cover his nose, but he still felt chest tightness, shortness of breath, and weakness in his limbs. "General Meng, my legs seem to be out of control. I can't even lift them up!"

"General, us too! We can't seem to move!"

Meng Shi's body also showed signs of abnormality, and he wanted to use his internal strength to suppress the effects of the drug.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he tried to gather his strength, his chest began to churn.

Meng Shi felt a fishy and sweet taste in his throat, turned his head and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"General!"

When everyone saw Meng Shi vomiting blood, they were all shocked and asked, "What happened to you?"

Meng Shi was silent for a moment, then suddenly drew the sword from his waist and slashed his palm hard.

The moment the blood gushed out, the severe pain made his mind much clearer.

Meng Shi gritted his teeth and said to the envoys in a deep voice, "Everyone, keep your heads clear. I will lead the charge, and you must follow closely. Don't fall behind! No matter whether there are jackals, wolves, tigers or leopards ahead, I will protect you!"

With his words, everyone felt relieved and followed him closely.

However, before they had taken a few steps, dozens of strong and sturdy figures suddenly appeared on the nearby mound. They held long swords in their hands and shouted, "Kill them! Don't spare any!"

This group of people stared at the envoys' carriages and horses with eyes like hungry wolves seeing their prey.

There were many weak civil servants in the envoys' group. Seeing the tall figures rushing in this direction, they turned pale with fear and said, "The bandits are coming! Everyone, run for your lives!"

They were terrified to the extreme and wanted to escape, but they had just inhaled a lot of fog and their whole bodies were weak. They fell to the ground after running a few steps and could only watch the bandits surrounding them.

Finished!

It's all over now!
