I made my fortune by livestreaming in ancient times.

"Insolence! How dare you be so rude!" the young general shouted, his hand on the hilt of his sword, his killing intent palpable.

Zhu Luo was startled and swallowed hard, but still insisted, "This humble girl... was not rude. Your Highness, please recall again."

Rumor has it that Xiao Mingyan was poisoned and injured. If even he doesn't believe in himself, it's questionable whether he can leave this tent safely.

"Come here!" In the dim light, Xiao Mingyan beckoned with his hand, his fingers showing a fair and translucent skin that was almost dazzling.

Zhu Luo seemed to be bewitched, and involuntarily moved forward.

Just as she recognized those ghostly, deep eyes through his heavy dark circles, he suddenly reached out and grabbed her chin.

Zhu Luo gasped and stumbled, falling onto his bed.

She tried to support herself, but he grabbed her hand and trapped her around his waist, unable to move.

My wrist was sore from his grip, it was cracking.

The wound on my back seems to have reopened.

His hands were so cold and he was so strong. Zhu Luo was a little dazed and even more frightened.

"It couldn't be Cang Xu who betrayed me, but you..." Xiao Mingyan leaned closer, the heavy smell of medicine emanating from him almost soaking her through.

"Shen Zhuluo, are you hiding something?"

Zhu Luo suddenly jolted: "Your Highness, what did you call me?"

She felt like she'd heard that name somewhere before.

Oh right, it was the guard who brought her here!

"Can't you remember?" Xiao Mingyan let go and threw her away, and she fell from the couch to the ground.

A burden was thrown in front of her.

The military officer named Cang Xu said coldly, "The eldest daughter of the Shen family, Shen Zhuluo, has lived in the border town with her maternal grandfather, General Zhenyuan, since she was a child. She was summoned to the capital because of the Crown Prince's selection of concubines, is that right?"

Shen Zhuluo?

A selection of the crown prince?

Zhu Luo's muddled mind cleared up considerably in an instant.

Was she hit the jackpot or just had a run of bad luck?

It turns out that the girl's identity was not simple at all.

Given this situation, if she denies it, it will only increase people's suspicions.

It seems that Xiao Mingyan doesn't like Shen Zhuluo at all, treating a young lady of high status and position with such rudeness.

However, saving one's life is the priority; this is not the time to worry about such trivial matters.

Zhu Luo's lips twitched, and she carefully explained, "When I passed through this place, I saw rivers of blood everywhere and corpses all around. I was terrified, so I thought of relying on Your Highness to return to the capital safely. I had no intention of harming Your Highness at all. I wanted to save Your Highness!"

To enhance the effect, she wiped her eyes and sobbed softly.

Just like how Bai Jiaojiao would act coquettishly in front of Lin Datou every time she lost a PK.

She shuddered.

I still feel disgusted.

Xiao Mingyan seemed quite pleased with her show of weakness, and lazily raised his hand: "Get up, the ground is cold. Don't let anyone say that I mistreated Miss Shen when we get back."

Zhu Luo jumped up and touched her wrist; it still hurt.

Xiao Mingyan frowned slightly, twirling a strand of hair, his eyes constantly scanning the girl: "However, upon closer inspection, I seem to have seen Miss Shen before. It was I who asked her 'Is it delicious?'"

Zhu Luo was startled.

So he was just playing a trick on her?

Cang Xu was also shocked. After all, he was his master, so he didn't dare to ask any more questions.

Xiao Mingyan then asked, "That... what kind of powder, do you still have any?"

"Luosifen?" Zhu Luo blurted out.

A spark of hope suddenly burst forth.

She knew that Xiao Mingyan held the answer.

"You still have some, right?"

"Yes! Yes!" Zhu Luo exclaimed with delight.

Just as Xiao Mingyan was asking the question, Jingzi tossed a packet of powder into her pocket.

She's as clever as her assistant, Nana.

"Go get a bowl of this." Xiao Mingyan pointed at Cang Xu.

Cang Xu led the way for Zhu Luo: "Miss Shen, please."

Zhu Luo readily agreed.

By engaging in back-and-forth exchanges and always responding to requests, the trail to Xiao Mingyan will never be broken.

She was just puzzled; didn't he think it smelled bad?

He even vomited a lot in front of her.

The snail rice noodles were ready, and Cang Xu brought them in, his face flushed.

Before even reaching the bedside, Xiao Mingyan pointed at Zhu Luo and said, "Find a place to bury her. I'll trouble Miss Shen."

Zhu Luo was surprised: "This...is it just cooked?"

"It's fallen." Xiao Mingyan seemed very impatient. After saying that, he turned over and ignored them.

Zhu Luo's face was tense, and she was very displeased.

He was definitely just playing her.

She naively thought he really wanted a bowl.

"Let's go, Miss Shen," Cang Xu said expressionlessly.

Zhu Luo glared at the stinky man's back a few times, then turned and followed him.

Just as they were about to leave the camp, Zhu Luo followed Cang Xu's instructions and began digging near a secluded mud pit.

Every shovelful was filled with anger.

Seeing that the soldiers in the camp were almost out of food, and Xiao Mingyan was still wasting food, Zhu Luo was furious.

With the next shovel, she raised it almost above her head and slammed it down on something behind her.

"Ouch!" The person clutched their head and squatted down in pain.

"Ah, I'm sorry," Zhu Luo dropped the shovel and went to help the man up. "Hey, you're the soldier who brought the food."

She even kicked over that bowl of bland soup.

The soldier raised his eyes, his gaze instantly turning fierce and icy: "Why save him?"

"Save whom?" Zhu Luo was completely confused.

The soldier pointed to the bowl of snail rice noodles: "That's the one. You actually hid the antidote there."

Zhu Luo was even more confused.

Suddenly, soldiers rushed out from all directions, and Cang Xu, who was in charge, gave the order: "Take down the prisoner!"
