Xiao Yuxi only quietly opened her eyes after realizing that no one was around.

She pretended to faint when someone covered her mouth with a handkerchief, but Sister Shanshan was struggling so much that those people were focused on controlling her.

Xiao Yuxi tilted her head and looked to the side. Yan Shanshan was tied to a wooden stake with more than a dozen ropes, and her mouth was stuffed with cloth.

There was nothing on her mouth, and her wrists were tied from behind.

Perhaps they thought she wouldn't wake up anytime soon?

Xiao Yuxi looked at the house in front of her, which was even better than the place she had stayed before. They hadn't walked for long, so they should still be in the village they had seen.

But didn't we catch these human traffickers last time? And last time, those people only targeted children who didn't seem to have any connections.

Xiao Yuxi struggled for a long time, but the rope was tied tightly, and she couldn't break free at all.

He simply sat down on the ground and gave up struggling.

A small piece of paper was suddenly thrown through the window and hit her right on the head.

Xiao Yuxi looked out the window in confusion. There was no one there, only tree branches swaying in the breeze. She struggled to bend down, unfolded the crumpled paper with her hands, and placed it on the ground.

The sign read, "This is the rebels' hideout. General Mu has been notified. Please keep the disguise up a little longer, young master. If anything goes wrong, I will act immediately to ensure you are not harmed in the slightest."

Xiao Yuxi stared blankly at the contents of the crumpled paper, then fell silent.

What are these scribbles?

Is it a character?

She doesn't recognize a single word!

Xiao Yuxi slowly hid the crumpled paper in a corner.

Let's just pretend we didn't see it.

Anyway, she doesn't know him...

Xiao Yuxi: e-(?д??)

The moment she hid the paper, the door was pushed open.

The eyes of the person coming towards you.

There was no time to close it.

"It seems the medicine here in the Central Plains is not as good as our Sand Tribe's? Even a little child can wake up so quickly." The person standing at the front had more than a dozen braids on his head and looked at Xiao Yuxi with a sinister look in his eyes.

The man beside him smiled and agreed, “Of course, the medicine of the Sand Clan is a gift from the gods, how can the Central Plains compare? Fifth Prince, the identities of these two have been confirmed. One is the cousin that the Mu family recently brought back. She is an orphan who has lost both her parents and is living in the Mu family. I heard that she had a serious illness before, so her identity is not of much use. But the other one is extraordinary.”

The man with the braid, referred to as the Fifth Prince, immediately lost interest in the awakened little girl and turned to the much larger, still unconscious girl, bound tightly with over a dozen ropes. Seeing her remarkably royal face, he raised an eyebrow slightly, "Royal?"

"She is the youngest daughter of Princess Lanyue, and now the younger sister of Consort Yan in the palace. She is very favored by the Empress Dowager."

"This matter was handled very well. Have all the people who attacked the temple retreated?"

"Everyone has been safely evacuated. The Queen of Yue Kingdom was seriously injured, and Princess Lanyue is still unconscious, but the Empress Dowager was protected in time."

"It doesn't matter. What we need is to spread the name of the rebels. We need to let the world know that his ascension to the throne was illegitimate."

"Your Highness is wise."

Xiao Yuxi looked up at the person next to the Fifth Prince. The Empress was seriously injured.

Isn't it because the older sister got injured?

Is the older sister's injury serious?

Xiao Yuxi's eyes instantly filled with tears, which rolled down her cheeks one by one, making her look extremely pitiful.

"Tsk." The Fifth Prince, who had originally walked to Yan Shanshan's side, came over irritably upon hearing the suppressed crying. He grabbed Xiao Yuxi's chin and forcefully lifted the little girl's head.

Looking at her delicate face, he frowned. "She doesn't look like Mu Yunnan at all. Are you sure she's from the Mu family? That Mu Yunnan was a king of hell who went to the battlefield at the age of eight and didn't even blink when he saw blood."

Xiao Yuxi was suddenly grabbed by the chin, which startled her so much that she held back her tears.

This person looks even scarier than my mother from before...

"After all, she is a cousin. She stayed in the countryside for several years before being brought back to the Mu family. It is said that she is quite favored. However, I heard from them that this cousin is not good at writing and is also physically weak. Mu Yunnan personally went to the palace to invite the imperial physician to treat her before she almost died."

"The Queen of Hell seems quite concerned about her, huh? Fifth Brother, do you think if I cut off an arm and sent it to her, she'd immediately come after me?" A boy who looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old, who had been following behind without saying a word, spoke up with a smile.

“We can remove them, but not now. Gu Che and Sarian are still in their hands. What we need to do is bring them back.” The Fifth Prince got angry just mentioning Gu Che and Sarian. Looking at this Mu family child, he wished he could get rid of him as soon as possible.

That Mu Yunnan is simply their natural rival.

They've lost ten games in a row, and this time they even captured two of their generals. I wonder if Guche and Sarian are keeping their mouths shut, or if they've revealed anything they shouldn't have.

They've been operating in the Moon Kingdom for almost two or three decades; they can't afford to be wiped out because of this one capture.

Previously, Mu Yunnan had fought against a hundred men single-handedly on the battlefield, so their defeat was understandable.

This time they changed their tactics and even devised a grand strategy, considering every aspect extremely thoroughly. Mu Yunnan, despite being in the capital, was still able to command from the rear, catching them completely off guard.

If it weren't for the fact that only their royal family knew about this sneak attack, he would have suspected that there was a spy from the Moon Kingdom in that sand...

The attack was planned to take place on New Year's Eve in the Central Plains, when everyone was immersed in the festive atmosphere. How could this have been predicted?

This Mu Yunnan is really weird...

Dislocate...dislocate the arm?

Xiao Yuxi opened her eyes wide in horror. How much pain must that have caused!

Did Xixi cause trouble for her second sister?

Xiao Yuxi pouted, and tears rolled down her cheeks one by one.

The Fifth Prince of Nasha's hand was burned by her tears, so he immediately let go and pulled it back, looking at her with a hint of disgust.

All they do is cry.

He looks completely different from those two lunatics in the Mu family.

The Fifth Prince of Nasha stood up and wiped his hand, which was wet with tears, with a handkerchief. "When the Empress's sedan chair arrives at the palace gate, have Tasha shoot a note inside with an arrow. It's best to glide it across the neck without hurting anyone, and deliver the message asking them to release the prisoners. We need to let this useless emperor know how superb our archery skills are. Their victory over us in battle was nothing but a trick."

The person next to him hesitated for a moment, "If it doesn't hurt anyone, why would it graze their neck?"

"Is there a problem?" The Fifth Prince raised an eyebrow and looked at the person who had spoken.

"No. I will go and give the order right away."

Archer Tasha received the order: "Graz someone's neck without hurting them, then safely evacuate. What a lifesaver..."
