The Seven Princesses' Journey Across Time

Lei Wujie quickly waved his hands to deny: "No... no, how is that possible!" As he spoke, he took out the only ten copper coins from his pocket and placed them on the table.

Seeing the pitiful ten copper coins, Xiao Se's face showed an indescribable expression, as if he was completely speechless about Lei Wujie's behavior. Mo Luyi shook her head helplessly: "That's only enough for a bowl of plain noodles and a steamed bun."

However, facing such a situation, Lei Wujie did not feel embarrassed at all. Instead, he grinned awkwardly and said to himself as if to comfort himself: "Hehe, at least we can buy some steamed buns to eat!"

Unlike the others, Wuxin remained remarkably calm and relaxed. He didn't seem to mind the situation at all. He leisurely picked up his chopsticks, quickly picked up a dish, and began chewing it with relish. As he ate, he said nonchalantly, "Since it's already like this, let's not dwell on it. Let's just enjoy ourselves! After all, we don't know when our next meal will come." With that, he resumed his hearty meal.

After the meal, the four of them continued on their journey. Lei Wujie couldn't stand the long walk and said with a tired face, "Why don't we rent a horse? If we keep walking like this, how long will it take us to find a place to stay?"

Xiao Se: "You've eaten up all the money. How can I have money to rent a horse?"

Lei Wujie: "Don't you still have the fur coat you're wearing?"

Wu Xin nodded and said, "Yes, the place we had dinner just now is not bad. Boss Xiao can pawn his clothes, Miss Mo can have a room, and the three of us can rent a room. It will be enough for us to make do."

Lei Wujie: "Yes, Xiao Se, let's go back, shall we?"

Xiao Se: "In an inn like that, the worst room costs three taels of silver. There's no bed or window, so you have to sleep on the floor. It's hot and humid at night, and there are mosquito bites. Can you two stand it? Even if you two can stand it, can Miss Luyi, a girl, stand it?"

Mo Luyi/Lei Wujie: "Actually..."

Xiao Se: "I'm in this line of work. The inn business is more complicated than you think." Then he left.

Lei Wujie: "This..."

Xiao Se: "The clothes are saved."

Mo Luyi looked at the three of them: "Actually, I have money, but I don't think what Boss Xiao said is worth it." After all, they will have somewhere to go soon.

Xiaose/Wuxin: "......"

Lei Wujie waved his hands and shouted, "Sister Luyi is rich, Xiaose, let's go back. We don't want your fur coat anymore."

Mo Lvyi stopped and said, "It's too late."

Lei Wujie: "What do you mean it's too late?" Then they heard the sound of horse hooves.

Then they saw a group of people on horseback, wearing masks and holding knives, cheering and rushing towards them from the opposite direction. Xiao Se: "Longbow chasing wings."

Wuxin: "A hundred ghosts parade at night."

Then the group of people blocked their way. Lei Wujie listened to what they said and said in confusion: "What is Longbow Hundred Ghosts? Why haven't I heard of it before?"

Xiao Se: "What you heard before were all heroic stories, but Changgong Zhuiyi and Hundred Demons Night Parade are different. They are horse thieves."

Lei Wujie: "Horse thief?"

Xiao Se: "Wuxin. You are not simple. Even this horse thief is interested in you."

Wuxin smiled. Lei Wujie looked at the group of people eager to try and said, "There are so many people. Never mind. Let's rush out first." Then he rushed forward.

Xiao Se: “Eh…” Wu Xin looked at him and wanted to pull him, but he was running too fast.

Then Xiao Se and Wu Xin began to retreat, and they also pulled Mo Luyi along with them. Soon Lei Wujie was caught by them.

Wu Xin: "It seems that they don't intend to kill anyone."

Xiao Se: "Then what are you going to do?"

Wuxin: "Of course..." Then he turned around and flew away with Mo Luyi in his hand.

Xiao Se and Wu Xin went to rescue the trapped Lei Wujie, while Mo Lvyi waited outside for their return. After they left, Mo Lvyi vanished like a ghost, instantly reappearing in front of the Red King Xiao Yu in the room next to Lei Wujie's. With a gentle wave of her sleeve, Lei Wujie, before he could react, felt his vision go black and he collapsed to the ground.

Xiao Yu looked at the mysterious woman who had suddenly appeared. He was initially struck by her stunning beauty, but then a look of deep wariness faded from his face. He stared at Mo Luyi fiercely and demanded, "Who are you? Why are you here? Are you here for that little brother next door?"

Facing Xiao Yu's questioning, Mo Luyi remained calm. She gracefully walked over to him and slowly sat down. The corners of her mouth lifted slightly, revealing a faint smile as she said, "I didn't come here for him, but specifically for you... Xiao Yu."

Hearing this, Xiao Yu's eyes widened in shock. "You actually know my identity? So, you came here today to take my life? Who are you?"

Mo Luyi chuckled softly, shook her head, and said, "No, no, I'm not here to kill you. It's just that I find it a pity to see you trapped in this imperial cage. Besides, what good is the throne? Besides getting up earlier than a rooster and staying up later than a dog every day to handle government affairs, there's nothing better than sowing seeds in the harem. Not only do you have to worry about so many things, but your lifespan is often short. How can it compare to a free and carefree life?"

Xiao Yu looked at Mo Luyi with suspicion, frowning slightly. He asked with a questioning tone, "So, you came here to persuade me to give up this supreme throne?"

Mo Luyi shook her head slightly, a mysterious smile on her lips, and replied softly: "No, no, no, I just came to tell you what the final result will be if you follow the current path."

Xiao Yu: "Do you think I will believe you? You want me to give up all my years of hard work with just empty words..."

Before she finished speaking, she raised her hand and lightly tapped her slender index finger. A faint and dazzling light instantly shot out from her fingertips, streaking through the air like a meteor and directly into Xiao Yu's forehead.

Xiao Yu felt a cool sensation spread from his forehead throughout his body. Before he could even ask, he suddenly felt dizzy. Then, a clear image flooded back like a tide—a conversation between him, Concubine Xuan, and Luo Qingyang. Their expressions, movements, and even every word were vividly presented before his eyes.

Just as Xiao Yu was shocked, the scene suddenly changed and turned into a tragic scene of him committing suicide with a long sword in his hand!
