Forced love, an inescapable fate

The scene of everyone bowing in unison really shocked Mu Qingli. This was the first time she had seen such a grand scene since she came to this world.

Although she lowered her head and could not see the situation in front of her, judging from the sounds coming from the scene, there must be more than one person participating in the autumn hunt.

After the kneeling ceremony, a slightly deep voice was heard from the front.

"Everyone is safe."

The owner of this voice should be the King of Qi, but there was a carriage blocking his view in front. Mu Qingli slowly stood up and did not want to attract attention at this critical juncture. After standing up, he still kept his head down, trying to reduce his presence as much as possible.

Then I heard the deep voice from the front again.

"The Autumn Hunt is a grand event that has been held in Qi State for hundreds of years. This time, all the nobles will accompany me to Tashan to participate in the Autumn Hunt. Although the journey is not far, you must still pay attention to your safety. All matters concerning this Autumn Hunt will be under the full responsibility of the Crown Prince. If you have any questions, you can go to the Crown Prince. Well, it's getting late, let's set off."

As soon as the voice fell, a uniform response came from the surroundings.

"Thank you, my emperor."

Mu Qingli stood quietly beside the carriage, just wanting it to be over quickly so that she could go back to the carriage and discuss with Jiang Ci how to escape from the autumn hunting ground. Fortunately, King Qi did not say anything extra, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

As the sound of wheels rolling and horse hooves came from the front, Mu Qingli knew that the King of Qi's carriage had already set off.

Lan Fang stood behind Mu Qingli and reminded the two of them.

"Sixth Prince, Princess Qingli, please get in the car. The convoy is about to depart."

The guards accompanying the carriage had already placed a bench for easy access, and Jiang Ci and Mu Qingli got on the carriage one after another.

She originally thought that Lan Fang and the young eunuch were going to get in the carriage with them, but after getting on, she didn't see them get in. She pulled aside the curtain covering the carriage window and saw Lan Fang standing by the window. She then realized that the master and the servant were not allowed to ride in the same carriage.

Although this was the result she hoped for, because it would be inconvenient for her to talk to Jiang Ci if Lan Fang and the little eunuch were there, she still felt a little uncomfortable seeing Lan Fang standing outside the car.

Although she was very clear about Lan Fang's attitude and the purpose of her being arranged to be with her and Jiang Ci, that she was simply sent by the royal family of Qi to monitor her and Jiang Ci, but as a modern person, she still felt a little uncomfortable with the speed of a weak woman keeping up with the carriage.

But this is where she is now, completely different from the modern society where everyone is equal.

After lowering the car curtain, she couldn't calm down for a long time. What she saw today was just the most common thing. There will be more such things in the future. In the future, she will not only have to adapt to the rules of the world she lives in, but also fully integrate into it. For her, the process may not be easy.

She was thinking about something and didn't notice that Jiang Ci was looking at her out of the corner of his eye.

Jiang Ci felt that he could no longer understand Mu Qingli. Could it be that amnesia would change a person's character?

When she saw Lan Fang just now, was the expression on her face sympathy or pity? Mu Qingli had just recovered from being stepped on, so how could she, with her temperament, feel such emotions about a palace maid following the carriage?

If he hadn't seen with his own eyes that Mu Qingli was injured and her life was hanging by a thread but she miraculously came back to life, and if he hadn't asked Bai Yu to bring her food every day, he would really think that Mu Qingli in front of him was an imposter.

As for what Jiang Ci was thinking, Mu Qingli naturally didn't know. She immersed herself in her own thoughts for a while before slowly coming out of it.

The carriage had already started moving, and she had no time to look at the scenery outside the window. Her only thought now was to escape from the Qi Palace.

I looked up at Jiang Ci and saw that his expression was still indifferent, and I couldn't tell what he was thinking.

Mu Qingli took a deep breath and thought about telling Jiang Ci her thoughts. Outside the carriage, not only Lan Fang was there, but also the accompanying guards. Afraid of being heard, she whispered "Brother".

Hearing her voice, Jiang Ci turned to look at her with a faint smile in his eyes.

When his gaze fell into Mu Qingli's eyes, she felt that his eyes were like those of an ignorant little deer, especially when she was looked at by those big eyes with clear black and white, Mu Qingli felt that her heart was about to melt.

Even though they had been together for a few days, Mu Qingli felt that every time this handsome boy looked back, she was shocked.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: He is so handsome, he is still a teenager now, he will be amazing when he grows up, he will definitely charm all the young girls. How can his nose be so straight, and his skin is so smooth that it is not an exaggeration to say that it is as delicate as a baby's. If this face were to be dressed as a woman, I guess there would be a lot of perverts.

It is especially obvious when viewed up close, as the boy's breasts have not yet opened, making it even harder to tell whether he is a male or a female.

Mu Qingli stared at the person in front of him for a long time with full admiration.

"Sister, what's wrong?"

Jiang Ci's voice brought back the thoughts of someone who was still immersed in his beauty.

Mu Qingli suddenly felt that the expression on her face when she was staring at Jiang Ci just now was that of a pervert. After all, she was already over twenty years old, so how could she be dazzled by a boy who was only thirteen years old? She suddenly felt a little embarrassed and her face turned a little hot.

To ease the embarrassment, she could only cough lightly a few times.

"Ahem, um, brother, do you know where the Tashan Mountain that the King of Qi just mentioned is?"

After asking the question, he felt that it was a bit stupid. Jiang Ci had been living in that deserted palace. How could he know where the autumn hunt was going? Just when he was about to change the subject, he didn't expect Jiang Ci to answer it.

"Tashan is less than a hundred miles away from the capital of Qi. According to our itinerary, we should be there tomorrow morning."

His answer really surprised Mu Qingli a little.

Mu Qingli's eyebrows curved and she raised her lips in a smile.

"That's not too far. Do we have to camp in the wild tonight?"

Jiang Ci shook his head.

"I don't know about that. Let's see how they arrange it when the time comes."

Mu Qingli thought about what Jiang Ci had just said, that Tashan, where they were going to go for autumn hunting, was only a hundred miles away from the capital of Qi. This distance was indeed too close. If he could really escape successfully, he would still be within a hundred miles of the capital of Qi. If they wanted to find him, wouldn't it be very easy?

Thinking of this, she moved closer to Jiang Ci and lowered her voice.

"Brother, I think this autumn hunt is a good opportunity for us to escape."
