Become a founding empress in ancient times with the system

Li Hui wiped the blood off the knife. The ground was littered with corpses. In just a few days, he had already suffered five assassination attempts, and some of them were even Xianbei people.

It can be seen that the connection between the Liu family and the Xianbei is not ordinary. She grabbed the clerk who was paralyzed on the side and said, "Don't worry, nothing will happen for the time being."

The petty official had a sad face, he didn't expect these people would use him as bait.

For several months, the roads were relatively quiet. In order to prevent refugees from escaping, all places attached great importance to road passes.

A man dressed as an official took out a portrait and walked up to Sheng Changan to compare it carefully. The person in the painting had slightly raised eyes and a murderous look between his brows.

The person in front of him was similar in every way except for their age. He put the portrait away and said, "Alright, let's go!"

Sheng Changan lowered his eyebrows and whispered, "Yes"

Yuan Qi has begun to remain calm. Surprisingly, no one could recognize the checkpoints he passed in the past few months.

The city they passed by this time was where Qiao Song became king. There were quite a few people on the streets, but they looked a little timid.

Sheng Chang'an was a little puzzled. It was said that Qiao Song was originally a commoner. He decided to become king because he was dissatisfied with the high taxes and harm to the people by the court.

But from what she could see now, something seemed wrong here.

Sheng Chang'an followed the team into an inn without changing his expression. Shen Huaizhi used some medicine to cover up her original skin color. With her slight adjustments, she looked much more ordinary.

A man dressed as a waiter walked up to Shen Huaizhi with a smile on his face. "Are you guys going to stay at the hotel?"

Shen Huaizhi's expression remained unchanged. This was something they had discussed early in the morning. He would be in charge of all the diplomatic negotiations along the way. "Two upper rooms, you can arrange the rest."

"Okay, sir, please come upstairs."

Sheng Changan was a young lady from a wealthy family who was preparing to return home. For safety reasons, she had hired a caravan to escort her, so she was walking in the middle of the group.

Even so, she could still feel the vague gazes of others. She was wearing a white dress, with her long black hair half tied up, her slightly pale face, and her brows slightly furrowed, making her look particularly weak and innocent.

There was a hint of sternness in her eyes. To be honest, she didn't seem to see any young and pretty women here.

The waiter looked at Sheng Changan and paused slightly, and said with a matter-of-fact tone, "Miss, except for the day you leave, it's best for you to stay out of the city as little as possible during your stay."

"Do you mean me or everyone?" Sheng Changan hesitated.

"Of course it's you. In our city, men are respected. Unmarried women are not allowed to go out. They obey their fathers at home, their husbands after marriage, and their sons after their husbands die. Women are not allowed to go out without permission."

Sheng Changan's eyes were sharp. "Who made this rule?"

He took a step back at Sheng Changan's gaze. To hide his guilty conscience, he raised his voice and said, "Of course it was our king who proposed it. We are not like some small border towns that allow women to serve as officials."

"I advise this lady to abide by our rules when you come here, otherwise you will bear the consequences yourself." As he said this, he shook his sleeves and left.

"Yuan Qi, go and ask around to see how many feudal customs there are here." Sheng Chang'an said in a cold tone. It seemed that these rules and regulations were deliberately targeted at her.

"Yes." Yuan Qi frowned. He had been here two years ago, but there were no such rules.
