I made my fortune by livestreaming in ancient times.

A broken, low gasp came from behind the carriage curtain.

Cang Xu's back stiffened, and his hand instinctively pressed on the scabbard, but then relaxed and turned his head away in frustration.

Having followed the prince for so many years, this was the first time he had ever caught the prince in the act.

Perhaps it's the only good thing.

The prince never got close to women; the women in the backyard of the prince's mansion were just for show.

He thought it was due to the prince's health, but what could that scene just now prove?

Another command was given, this time addressed to him by name.

His voice was hoarse, carrying a hint of restraint.

"Brother Cang, the Prince says we can set off down the mountain now!"

Cang Xu did a somersault backwards and landed steadily on the car seat.

This is obedience ingrained in one's bones.

In an instant, he realized what was happening and asked, "Miss Shen, how is the Prince?"

There was another commotion behind the curtain.

A moment later, Zhu Luo said breathlessly, "Your Highness is awake, but there's a slight reaction to the medication. It's alright, I have a solution. Remember to bring Banxia along."

Cang Xu thought to himself that after taking the antidote, the prince would usually vomit in order to expel the toxins from his body.

"Alright, thank you for your help, Doctor. You," he looked at Banxia, ​​"get in the car!"

Banxia was waiting for these words. With her keen eye for serving young ladies, she knew that the tremor in the carriage just now must have had another meaning.

However, after struggling for a long time, she still couldn't climb up.

The carriage of the King of Li was very high, and Cang Xu had no intention of lowering the stool for her to step on to get on; it was too much to ask.

Fortunately, Cang Xu noticed her disheveled state, bent down, grabbed her by the collar, and lifted her up.

Banxia didn't dare to complain. After thanking them repeatedly, she sat obediently to the side.

Inside the carriage, after several tug-of-wars, Xiao Mingyan, weakened by poisoning, was able to gain the upper hand, and his mouth was covered.

"Your Highness, I did not mean to offend you. If you listen to my explanation, I will let go."

Zhu Luo never imagined that one day she would resort to violence against a prince.

If he hadn't suddenly turned menacing and grabbed her by the neck, she wouldn't have fought back and resorted to this desperate measure.

The carriage creaked and groaned as it moved forward.

Xiao Mingyan rested his soft head on her arm, which was pinned to one side by Zhu Luo and unable to move.

He was panting heavily. Luckily, Zhu Luo hadn't crushed him, otherwise he would have had difficulty even breathing.

"Okay." He nodded with difficulty.

Zhu Luo frowned: "You really won't pinch me anymore?"

"Do not."

"Okay, I believe you." Zhu Luo readily released her hand.

Xiao Mingyan's lips trembled slightly, as if he was uncomfortable with the sudden influx of cool air onto his cheek.

Zhu Luo took a deep breath, trying her best to clear the chaotic thoughts in her mind.

"First of all, let me clarify that I was feeding you medicine just now, so... that's why I did that. Please don't misunderstand, I didn't mean to molest you."

Xiao Mingyan stared intently at her, who was only inches away from him, then closed his eyes briefly, subconsciously licked the corner of his lips, and said, "Okay."

Zhu Luo nodded: "Now that we've reached a consensus on this matter, let's move on to the next question. Did you attack me just now because you thought I had ulterior motives and wanted to get close to Your Highness on purpose?"

Xiao Mingyan frowned, neither confirming nor denying.

Zhu Luo gave a wry, cold laugh: "Just as I suspected, I guessed right. But it's not surprising, Your Highness. You must find me strange, right? Strange speech, strange behavior, and I often bring strange food, even..."

She waved her hand, and two mirrors took flight, floating above their heads.

"And this, Your Highness has always tacitly allowed my existence and the mirror, but deep down you must have always had doubts, right? What kind of person am I really?"

This time, Xiao Mingyan did not remain silent, but nodded seriously.

“Alright, Your Highness is being frank, so I won’t hide anything from you either,” Zhu Luo sighed and pointed to a busy figure in the mirror. “Your Highness, do you see that? That’s me, Zhu Luo, a woman living in a future world. For some reason, I came to the Great Liang Kingdom.”

Xiao Mingyan stared intently at the face in the mirror, which looked exactly like the girl before him, and uttered three words: "Shen Zhuluo?"

“Yes, I impersonated her,” Zhu Luo said frankly. “To be precise, I didn’t know who she was. I just borrowed her clothes. And then, Your Highness, you all know that you gave me an identity. I admitted it to save my life. I have no idea who Shen Zhu Luo is or why she died on the battlefield.”

Xiao Mingyan's face twitched slightly, as if he was suppressing something: "Your maid."

Zhu Luo looked at the curtain: "Your Highness is asking why Banxia didn't expose me? Heh, it really was Your Highness's arrangement. But I'm also very curious. Banxia didn't suspect my identity, but I believe what she said."

You can't fake someone's true feelings.

She sensed Banxia's deep affection for her former master.

"As for appearance, Your Highness, you have accepted it, haven't you? This means that perhaps Shen Zhuluo and I look similar. It's normal for things to change over six years."

Xiao Mingyan remained noncommittal.

Confirming with my own ears what I had always suspected didn't bring me any relief; instead, it made my chest feel even tighter.

He bit his lip, suppressing the turmoil in his stomach, and asked, word by word, "What exactly do you want to do?"

Zhu Luo chuckled: "Of course I'm going home. That's all I have in mind. Your Highness can just throw away all those fabricated ideas you have about me."

Xiao Mingyan's expression darkened: "Are you guessing who I am?"

“I’m trying to save my life, so I have to consider everything,” Zhu Luo pointed to the mirror, which was showing the scene at the cave entrance. “Because of it, I have some tricks up my sleeve, but they’re not foolproof. I didn’t know His Highness the Crown Prince would come. Your Highness doesn’t need to doubt me. I’ve said before that no one would want to harm you, not me. You are my clue to getting home, and I will stand by your side unconditionally.”

Xiao Mingyan's palm trembled.

Should we unconditionally stand by his side?

This is probably the most ridiculous thing he has ever heard in his life.

"You don't believe me?" Zhu Luo became anxious when she saw his unmoved expression. "Just now, I disobeyed the Crown Prince in front of everyone. Doesn't that prove anything?"

The pent-up anger in his chest intensified, and Xiao Mingyan opened his mouth, but said nothing.

Zhu Luo complained helplessly, "You can't do this. If I encounter trouble in the future, Your Highness, you can't just abandon me."

She had already witnessed Xiao Jingchi's ruthless methods.

She didn't believe he would let her go.

Given her status as a concubine, Xiao Jingchi had countless ways to deal with her.

If she were just an ordinary woman, she could have simply packed her bags and fled the place.

But she is Shen Zhuluo, and she cannot allow the hundreds of people in the Shen family to be put in a disadvantageous situation because of her.

Right now, she can only rely on Xiao Mingyan.

Even at his worst, he was still the third prince of the Great Liang Kingdom, the Prince Li who established his own government office.
