He slowly put Qin Yueran down, then carried her on his back and set out on his journey again.

Qin Yueran was in a daze and could only hear the whistling of wind and the sound of water dripping in her ears.

Gradually, the sound of dripping water stopped.

"Pfft!"

The sound of splashing water came into Qin Yueran's ears.

She suddenly opened her eyes, and what she saw was a river.

She turned her head in surprise, only to find that the person who had just fallen into the river was Nan Muchen!

"Prince, how are you?" Qin Yuran asked worriedly.

Nan Muchen shook his head, wiped the water droplets on his face with his hand, and stared at her deeply.

"Why are you here?"

"I..." Qin Yuran hesitated for a moment before saying, "I was brought here by a man in black. I was almost molested just now."

After listening to Qin Yueran's words, Nan Muchen felt a warm feeling in his heart. He didn't expect that Qin Yueran would come to the county town specifically for this matter and buy medicine in person.

He lowered his eyes slightly: "Don't worry, I won't let you run in vain. I will take you home, and when your parents are better, I will return the silver to you."

"This..." Qin Yueran was suddenly speechless. She didn't want to accept Nan Muchen's money. After all, one hundred taels of silver was too much.

"It's settled now. You rest here for a while, and I'll take you back later." Nan Muchen patted her shoulder, turned and left.

Qin Yuran thought about it and finally decided not to follow. She sat on the rocks on the shore, quietly thinking about what to do next.

Nan Muchen is her current stronghold, and she also wants to please him, but it is not entirely because of this reason.

If she wants revenge, she must rely on power, otherwise she will never be able to defeat Nan Muze.

As the eldest son of the late emperor, Nan Muchen might become the future emperor if he makes a comeback in the future.

She couldn't live in exile all her life in cowardice. She wanted to avenge the original owner and bring all those unfaithful men to justice.

But what should she do? Nan Muze was powerful and influential. He had emptied the national treasury, and what followed was even more severe taxes and levies.

Just as Qin Yueran was daydreaming, he suddenly heard a burst of hurried horse hooves sounds.

"Da da da……"

Then, a group of soldiers wearing armor and holding spears came galloping on horses.

They quickly surrounded the officer, and the leader shouted, "Who are you? How dare you cause trouble here?"

"Which garrison are you from? Do you know my identity? I am a constable from the Ministry of Justice. Be careful or I will report to the governor and have you punished!" the officer threatened arrogantly.

When the people from the garrison heard about the Ministry of Justice, their faces immediately changed. They all saluted respectfully with their fists clasped together, and their attitudes were extremely humble.

"It turns out to be Constable Liu. We didn't know it was you. We hope Constable Liu will forgive us!" The people from the garrison apologized hurriedly in panic.

Constable Liu snorted, held his head high and said arrogantly, "Since you know it's me, why don't you retreat now!"

"Yes, yes, yes, I am sorry for the offense. I will take my leave now!" After saying that, the people in the garrison immediately dispersed the rest of the ordinary people and passers-by.

When the common people and passers-by saw this scene, they were so scared that they ran away immediately.

Constable Liu then turned around and stared at Nan Muchen with a ferocious look: "You stinky boy, you dare to run away, believe it or not, I will chop off your head!"

"Haha, kill me? Just try it!"

"Hey, boy, don't be unconvinced! I am the nephew of the Minister of Justice. With your identity, are you qualified to fight with me?" Constable Liu said sarcastically.

Nan Muchen said coldly: "Minister of the Ministry of Justice? I am the Minister of Personnel. Are you sure you want to use me as a target?"

"You..." Constable Liu was speechless, then burst into laughter: "You are bragging! You are the Minister of Personnel? Why don't you say you are the Crown Prince?"

"If you don't believe it, just try it!" Nan Muchen said coldly.

"Bah!" Constable Liu spat and said contemptuously, "I'm telling you, kid, don't think you can talk nonsense just because you're pretty. I'm telling you, I've seen a lot of women like you. There are so many people who want to climb into our bed every day, but those

"No matter how pretty or charming a woman is, she will have to accept her fate in the end. Do you think you are better than those mediocre women? Pah!"

Nan Muchen didn't bother to pay attention to him, so he walked around him and jumped into the river.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Constable Liu was startled and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.

Unfortunately it was too late, Nan Muchen had already dived into the water.

He continued to sink until he was finally pulled to the bottom of the river by a rope.

Qin Yueran panted heavily and pulled him with great effort. After a long while, she finally dragged Nan Muchen to the shore.

She had just breathed a sigh of relief when she suddenly heard a rustling sound.

She looked in the direction of the sound and was stunned.

Nan Muchen was seen swimming to the shore from the river, all wet, and then crawling along the river bank to the shore.

Qin Yuran stared at him blankly: "Nan Muchen?"

How could he come?

Is Nan Muchen really in danger here?

Nan Muchen walked slowly towards Qin Yueran, lowered his head and stared at her: "Why are you here?"

"I……"

Nan Muchen raised an eyebrow: "Hmm?"

Qin Yuran bit her lip and stammered, "I...I'm here to find herbs to save Dad."

"Oh? Are you a doctor?" Nan Muchen was surprised.

Qin Yuran nodded quickly.

"Since you are a doctor, why didn't you tell me?" Nan Muchen frowned.

"I...I'm afraid of trouble."

"trouble?"

"Yes, I am just a commoner, how can I trouble you to help me?"

Nan Muchen's mouth twitched. This woman was really good at shirking responsibility.

"You are a doctor, how can it be called trouble?"

"I'm just the former Crown Princess. I just don't want people to see through me. I don't know so many rules. If I anger you, I will be killed without a burial place." Qin Yuran shrank her neck in pretending to be afraid.

"No." Nan Muchen said firmly: "I, Nan Muchen, don't even bother to bully women."

"You, you..." Qin Yuran blushed. What did he mean by that? Did he dislike her for being dirty?

Nan Muchen looked up at the sky and sighed softly. What an idiot! He fell into the water just to save her!

Seeing this, Qin Yueran couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Why are you sighing?"

"Do you remember what we agreed on yesterday?"

"whats the matter?"

Nan Muchen took a deep breath and tried to keep his face calm: "I said, if I save you, I will marry you."

Hearing this, Qin Yuran was stunned. He actually remembered this?

Nan Muchen continued, "I, Nan Muchen, always keep my word. I must do what I promised."
