Quick Transmigration: Still Life Fairy

Du Huai'an and Yu Liu's travel plans came to an end on the sixth day.

Early that morning, as they were preparing to leave the capital, a tall horse blocked their carriage.

Seated on the horse was a man with thick eyebrows and large eyes, a face with distinct features, and eyes that held the unwavering determination unique to soldiers. This man was none other than one of Chen Qingyan's chosen men—General Mu Yuanzhan.

Mu Yuanzhan was very tall. Even when he was on horseback, he looked larger than the average person. His arms, which were tightly gripping the reins, showed bulging muscles. When he dismounted, the contrast was obvious. He was at least 1.9 meters tall, and that was a conservative estimate. Just by standing there, you could feel the oppressive feeling brought by his height. Even the solemnity unique to soldiers couldn't suppress this feeling. When he looked at people, if his eyes were devoid of emotion, you would inexplicably feel a chilling sense that you were about to meet the King of Hell.

Seeing Mu Yuanzhan's appearance, Yu Liu roughly understood why the Prime Minister was worried about his daughter and preferred her to enter the palace to endure all kinds of conspiracies and intrigues rather than marry the General, based on the information she had received. Regardless of the General's personality, just looking at his appearance, one couldn't help but feel that he was not a good man.

The Great General definitely belongs to the category of those whose looks hold them back. With his appearance, it's no wonder that at 25 years old, he still hasn't managed to have a wife and concubine, making him a well-known unmarried man in the entire capital. Even Yu Liu, a fairy who has only been here for less than half a month, has heard of his "famous name." The palace maids who serve Du Huai'an definitely don't have much to do. Their favorite thing to do is to find a corner to secretly gossip about the ministers' scandals. Yu Liu occasionally overheard a few words about the Great General Mu Yuanzhan, which was the most talked about among the palace maids.

The carriage was forced to stop on the official road, which immediately attracted the attention of many people. Du Huai'an had no choice but to have his accompanying guards call Mu Yuanzhan into the carriage.

"I am here to see you, Your Majesty!"

"Get up."

There was a hint of displeasure in Du Huai'an's tone. He knew that he wouldn't be able to leave this time because Mu Yuanzhan was here.

Although they arranged for a double when they left the palace, how could the emperor's whereabouts be kept secret from his ministers? In just a few days, clever people had already noticed that something was wrong with the emperor. The simplest clue was that the emperor hadn't touched any memorials these past few days. These memorials contained important state affairs, so how could a double be qualified to look through them?

Even if someone noticed something was wrong, they were smart enough to keep it to themselves. Unlike General Mu Yuanzhan, who, although quite intelligent, also had the impulsive nature of a warrior. A country cannot be without a ruler for a day. What kind of thing is it to let a substitute sit on the throne? So, in a moment of impulsiveness, the general went to stop the emperor from going out.

Du Huai'an knew his general well; the man was stubborn and would not give up until he achieved his goal. Therefore, the emperor and his minister exchanged only a few pleasantries, and neither of them mentioned returning to the palace. However, they both understood that the emperor had no choice but to return to the palace.

So, Du Huai'an could only sadly instruct the coachman to turn the horse around and return to the capital.

Upon returning to the palace and changing into a bright yellow dragon robe, Du Huai'an was once again a wise and powerful emperor. However, what awaited this emperor was an entire table of memorials in the imperial study.

Du Huai'an patted Yu Liu's head with a bitter expression, then sat down to work on the memorials. His expression almost made Yu Liu laugh. As the two became more familiar with each other, Du Huai'an became less guarded with Yu Liu and began to show her his true nature.

Yu Liu coughed lightly to hide the smile that was about to spill from her mouth, then turned her head away, unable to bear to look at the somewhat miserable scene any longer. Her eyes, however, happened to glance at the open window of the Imperial Study.

Because the view outside was so beautiful, it's unclear which palace maid or eunuch opened the doors and windows of the Imperial Study for ventilation. Although the window was a bit high, it was conveniently close to the table where Yu Liu was standing, and she could reach it in just a few steps.

Du Huai'an was reviewing memorials. There was no one else in the imperial study to keep him company, so he thought he might as well go out and find some fun.

With this thought popping into her head, Yu Liu decided not to wrong herself. She secretly glanced at Du Huai'an, and seeing that he hadn't noticed her, she tiptoed and carefully moved to the edge of the table. She jumped up and just managed to hook onto the windowsill. Then, she struggled to lift her leg and slowly moved onto the windowsill. Using both hands and one leg, she finally climbed onto the windowsill.

He glanced at Du Huai'an one last time; he was still diligently reviewing memorials, completely unaware of the situation on Yu Liu's side.

Yu Liu finally felt relieved, turned around, went to the other side of the windowsill, and opened her arms to jump down.

Du Huai'an, who had been secretly observing Yu Liu, pretended to be reviewing memorials when Yu Liu looked over: "!!!!"

Just as he was about to make a move, he saw a cotton candy-like white cloud suddenly drift over from not far away. It was about the size of an adult's palm and floated lightly by the windowsill. Yu Liu seemed very curious and stretched out her toes to touch the white cloud. Her toes touched solid ground, not the soft and fluffy feeling she had imagined. Yu Liu was a little disappointed, but she still put both feet on it. The white cloud was like an elevator, slowly descending and carrying Yu Liu safely to the ground.

The white cloud we just saw was a spell that Yu Liu had just learned. Having experienced two worlds, she had accumulated some willpower within her body, enough for her to use some simple spells.

Seeing that Yu Liu was alright, Du Huai'an calmed down from his earlier shock. Afraid that Yu Liu would discover his spying, he continued to pretend to read the memorials, but whispered, "Follow her and protect her."

The palace was not safe at all, especially since Yu Liu was so small. Anyone could easily step on her and either die or be seriously injured. Du Huai'an was naturally worried about letting her go out alone. Poor Yu Liu thought that only Du Huai'an knew of her existence, but she didn't know that there were more than twenty secret guards on standby by Du Huai'an's side, and all of them knew of her existence.

A very soft "Yes" came from the air. Du Huai'an caught the faint gust of air as the guards left, knowing that his guards were all highly skilled and that Yu Liu would be safe and sound with their protection. Only then did he feel relieved and continue his unfinished work.

Yu Liu put away Bai Yun and began her adventure in the palace.
