I made my fortune by livestreaming in ancient times.

"Protect the prince!"

At a shout, Zhu Luo's arm was roughly lifted up, and she was thrown aside, crashing into a pile of corpses.

If she hadn't reacted quickly and managed to hold on, her back would likely have been pierced by the raised sword.

The cold metal pierced a hole, and it burned with pain.

She yelled at the top of her lungs, "Who's the blind fool who wants to kill me?"

Before she could even react, an angry voice rang out in front of her: "What did you do to the prince?"

Zhu Luo composed himself and saw a young military officer, slender in build, with a resolute face, holding a long spear.

The gun was pointed directly at her.

Another group of people surrounded Xiao Mingyan, calling out to him repeatedly.

Zhu Luo immediately softened: "What did I do?"

Someone exclaimed, "The prince has been poisoned! The blood is black!"

The young military officer turned to verify, then turned back and grabbed her by the neck: "What poison did you give the prince?"

Zhu Luo could barely breathe: "Poison? Me?"

"Get over here!" Xiao Mingyan snapped hoarsely.

The military officer was startled, released his grip, turned around, and knelt on the ground: "Your Highness! This humble servant is late and failed to protect Your Highness!"

The crowd dispersed, and Zhu Luo coughed violently. When she saw the dark stain in front of Xiao Mingyan, she gasped.

Was he really poisoned?

Also, was she mistakenly accused of poisoning?

"Take her back..." Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Mingyan swayed and fell to the ground.

"Your Highness!" the military officer exclaimed, rushing forward.

Zhu Luo's heart sank.

The person died? Could they be that unlucky?

The mirror at her waist vibrated, and the boss Lin Datou's voice entered her ears.

"If we don't sell them all, our performance bonus for this month will be zero!"

In reality, she is undergoing training.

Oh, and she also sells snail rice noodles.

Performance is her lifeline; if she can't pay back the money, her younger brother will lose his life!

She had just gotten up when she was pinned down.

"Trying to run? Not so easy!" The enraged soldiers raised their swords at her.

"Kill her!"

"Kill her!"

The military officer turned and blocked her path, shouting sternly, "Didn't you hear the Prince's orders? Take him back to the camp!"

The camp's prison was very rudimentary: a tent, an iron cage, and a mat of hay—that was Zhu Luo's accommodation for his first night in the Great Liang Kingdom.

As early autumn arrived, a cool breeze blew in from all sides. Zhu Luose huddled up, her head buried under her sleeves, her eyes fixed on the mirror.

The mirror showed that the debt collectors had come to threaten the younger brother again.

He couldn't outrun his opponent because of his limp, and was pinned to the ground and beaten.

She was anxious but helpless, unable to help in the face of the immediate crisis.

As the group left, they shouted that if they didn't see any money next time they came, they would cripple the younger brother's other leg.

She slammed her hand on the mirror.

No, she needs to sell products and make money; she can't just sit here and wait.

But being in an unfamiliar place, and being treated as a criminal who poisoned royalty, forget about making money; you should be worried about your life.

The soldier left his prison meal, a bowl of muddy water with a few rotten leaves floating in it.

Zhu Luo quickly poked his head out of the cage and called out, "Um... young man, may I ask how the prince is doing now?"

The soldier covered his nose and jumped away as if avoiding a plague: "Your Highness is blessed, how could a scoundrel like you possibly harm me?"

After saying that, he turned around and ran away.

Zhu Luo breathed a sigh of relief.

Since she didn't die, the unfounded accusation disappeared, allowing her to save her life and then inquire about how to get back.

But what was Xiaobing's reaction just now? Does she really smell bad?

Xiao Mingyan had shown such disdain for her even before he vomited.

Outside the tent, hushed chatter could be heard.

"Luckily, we had a miracle doctor, otherwise we would all have been buried with him!"

"Shh! How dare you talk about the Prince? You're asking for trouble! We've already said we haven't caught the spy yet, so this matter must not be revealed."

"Yes, yes! This ambush was because of a spy. If I catch him..."

With a "whoosh," the sword flashed like lightning, its sharp edge grazing the tent. Zhu Luo was startled and retreated to the other side of the iron cage.

After enduring for more than two hours, just when she was about to collapse and closed the tent flap, someone finally lifted the tent flap.

"Shen Zhuluo!"

"Hey!" Zhu Luo didn't realize anything was wrong when she heard her name called.

"Take a trip with us."

"where to?"

What if I get secretly hacked in the middle of the night?

The soldier impatiently opened the cage door: "The prince summons you there."

Zhu Luo was overjoyed and hurriedly pushed open the iron gate: "Really!"

She accidentally kicked over her dinner.

She glanced at the clear soup that had disappeared into the haystack, without feeling any remorse.

I haven't even finished digesting the eight bowls of snail rice noodles yet.

Moreover, she had a premonition that she would never return to this place.

Zhu Luo finally met Xiao Mingyan.

In the dim candlelight, he lay half-reclined on the couch, his face pale, his lips dark, and his heavy black eyelids making it impossible to tell whether his eyes were open or closed.

At the foot of the collapsed wall, the young military officer said solemnly, "Your Highness, the person has been brought."

Feeling obliged by the atmosphere, Zhu Luo nodded and said, "Your Highness, are you alright?"

The bed creaked.

"What, you're disappointed that he didn't die?"

Zhu Luo jolted awake, stepped forward, and hurriedly explained, "Your Highness, what are you joking about? Hehe, you've forgotten, it was my daughter who found you injured and lying on the ground. If it weren't for my daughter protecting you..."

She glanced at the military officer blocking her way and went further,

"I have heard that someone wants to harm Your Highness. That person could be anyone, but it is definitely not me."

"Oh? Why?" The person on the couch sneered, adjusted his posture, and his face was illuminated by the orange candlelight, revealing a handsome face with a chillingly evil aura.

It looks just like a ghost.

Zhu Luo mustered her courage and said, "Because Your Highness thought of me first in that critical moment, and it was through this telepathic connection that I was able to find you and get timely treatment. A girl who hopes for your health, happiness, and long life would never harm you!"
