  The strange thing was that the emperor didn’t send people to take the painting. The two, master and emperor, suddenly abandoned the dispute. They locked themselves up in one room and conspired for a long time. Then they seemed to have given up the rescue of Princess Rong Hua, and all the people were ordered to return to the palace. They began to strengthen the safeguarding of the royal palace.

  Even the Heavenly Temple increased its number of patrolling guards.

  Ming Shu was a bit surprised.

  “Get me something to eat.”

  Zhi Qi quickly handed over the snacks.

  Ming Shu got up and rolled up the painting. “Zhi Qi, later, if the master comes over and asks where I am, you will tell him that I have eloped with the painting.”


  “Ah? Princess…… what are you going to do?” Zhi Qi was confused at first, then she got a little nervous. “You can’t leave the Heavenly Temple now, it’s dangerous outside.”


  Ming Shu smiled to Zhi Qi. “Rest assured, I’m not so easy to kill.”


  Zhi Qi was fascinated by that smile, and when she came back to herself, Ming Shu had walked out the door. Zhi Qi quickly chased after her. “Princess, hey, please come back. Stop the princess, stop the princess!”
……

  Ming Shu dusted off the grass clinging to her body. She was now standing at a very remote corner of the palace wall, and the little beastie rolled out from one side.

  “Don’t bother me. Move.”


  The little beastie didn’t roll this time. It jumped forward, following Ming Shu.

  “Well, it’s not the first time. Stay cool, little kid.”


  “.……”

  Every time it helped her, she wouldn’t pay!

  The more it thought, the angrier the little beastie became. Finally it “transformed” into a hedgehog, aimed itself at Ming Shu, and hit her body hard after running up and jumping. Ming Shu almost fell to the ground.

  The little beastie rolled along Ming Shu’s clothes and climbed into her sleeve as soon as it could.

  “A brave soldier, aren’t you?” Ming Shu pinched it. The little beastie huddled into a ball and complained continuously in a small voice.

  Ming Shu chuckled. She willfully touched and played with the little beastie until the latter struggled to protest, helplessly murmuring. Then she smiled and walked to the market with a crowd of people……

  Ming Shu asked about the location of the South Ferry, and then swaggered to the targeted place with that

  in her hand.

  Just as she approached the South Ferry and passed a corner, her wrist was suddenly caught by someone and she was pulled into an alleyway.

  A strange and cold breath shrouded Ming Shu. She looked up to see Mu Huai’s cold face.

  Is this man going to rob a beautiful girl of her snacks?

  Ming Shu parted her lips and was about to talk. But suddenly Mu Huai’s expression changed, and his cold finger pressed against her lips. “Don’t talk.”


  “What will you do with this painting?” Mu Huai reached out, placing one hand on the wall behind Ming Shu. A sudden kabedon. Ming Shu’s eyes and eyebrows were clearly reflected in the cold eyes of Mu Huai, as if they had been dyed with a layer of frost, appearing foggy.

  “Why do you care, Uncle?” Ming Shu bent down and escaped Mu Huai’s entrapment. “This painting is mine now. I have the right to do whatever I want with it.”


  Mu Huai went crazy inside. He wanted to grab the painting, but he couldn’t right then.

  “This painting is very important. Take the painting and go back to the Heavenly Temple.”


  “No way, I’m already out here and I walked this far,” Ming Shu refused. “If I go back now, wouldn’t my effort be wasted?”


  “Lord, they’ve……” Ye Cong’s voice trailed off and became a little surprised. “Royal Princess, you…… why are you here?”


  Mu Huai asked, “What is the situation now?”


  Ye Cong looked at Ming Shu. Seeing that his lord didn’t seem to care to hide information from the royal princess, he answered directly: “The ferry has been ambushed. It seems Qi Hongwei has come in person.”


  Qi Hongwei. Ming Shu remembered the name.

  The name appeared in the letter that the master showed her before.

  He seemed to be a heavyweight in the business of rebellion.

  “He’s being bold this time. Qi Hongwei is always cautious and careful, Rong Hua should not be here.”


  “What do we do now? There is no news from the palace, and we don’t know if His Majesty will exchange Princess Rong Hua with the painting. His Majesty has always adored Princess Rong Hua, so maybe it’s not impossible……”


  “The painting.” Mu Huai looked at Ming Shu next to him.

  Ye Cong followed Mu Huai’s gaze and noticed the painting in Ming Shu’s hand. His eyes widened immediately.

  “Lord, someone is coming,” Ye Cong, staring at the main road, reminded in a low voice.

  Almost at the same time he finished the sentence, a figure managed to avoid the peripheral guards and entered the alleyway.

  Ye Cong attacked instantly. The figure must not have expected someone to be here, and was a little stunned, but their reaction was quick. The figure avoided the attack swiftly and moved deeper into the alleyway.

  “They” were covered with a veil over the face. But from the figure, it was not difficult to tell that it was a girl.

  “Who are you!” Ye Cong asked.

  “Just passing by.” The girl lowered her voice, which sounded a bit hoarse, and her head also dipped down. Apparently she was preventing others from recognizing her.

  Ming Shu suddenly shouted, “Cheng Jinyun!”


  The girl subconsciously glanced at Ming Shu, and the shock flashed past her eyes.

  “It’s really you.” Ming Shu laughed.

  “You’ve got the wrong person.”


  “Really? But Miss Cheng, you dropped your things. Look, isn’t that Xiangyun jade yours?”


  Xiangyun jade…… The girl automatically followed Ming Shu’s gaze to the ground, but there was nothing on the ground.

  “It is you, Miss Cheng, there’s no need to deny it.” The last time in the royal garden, Ming Shu saw Cheng Jinyun wearing a Xiangyun jade around her waist. So she naturally made it up.

  Cheng Jinyun gritted her teeth. “You tricked me.”


  “Yes, so what? Are you not Miss Cheng of the Cheng family?”


  “.……” Cheng Jinyun had nothing to comeback with.

  Ming Shu played with the painting in her hand and said casually, “Seems everyone is present today. Are you all coming for this painting?”
