I just want to live a good life

Early in the morning, a hunter stood in front of the gate of the Prince's Mansion. He claimed that he was entrusted by someone to deliver a message to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

But it was not someone a hunter like him could see whenever he wanted, and he was stopped by the guards at the door and not allowed to enter.

But the guard was also very cautious, afraid of missing any important news, so he asked the hunter: "Who asked you to deliver the message?"

"It's a young man."

"What's that gentleman's name?"

"do not know."

At this point in the conversation, the guard no longer thought that the hunter had any important information, but he still patiently asked, "What message did the young master ask you to deliver?"

The hunter replied, "That young master asked me to tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that the person he was looking for was near Longpan Mountain."

Before he could finish his words, the guard grabbed the man, turned around and shouted to his companions, "Don't let him get away", then handed the hunter to his companions and ran into the inner courtyard.

The person His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is looking for is Concubine Xia. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been losing his appetite these past few days because of Concubine Xia, and the whole Crown Prince's Mansion knows it.

Now that there is news about Concubine Xia, His Highness must be very happy. He might even give you some reward if he is so happy.

The guard ran in happily and bumped into Mu Yunting who was about to go to court.

"Your Highness, there is news about Concubine Xia."

"What did you say?"

Mu Yunting seemed not to hear clearly, and seemed not to dare to believe his ears.

"Your Highness, a hunter has been entrusted by a young master to deliver a letter to you, saying that the person you are looking for is near Longpan Mountain."

Longpan Mountain, where the silver bracelet that Falcon brought back yesterday was found.

It does echo the sentiment.

This news is highly credible.

"Bring the hunter to me."

Mu Yunting said anxiously.

Soon, the guards brought the hunter to Mu Yunting.

The hunter couldn't clearly say who asked him to deliver the letter, but he could accurately tell the location specified by that person.

At this time, let alone an exact location, Mu Yunting would be thankful even if he was only given a rough range.

With the news about Xia Qingyan, he should go and pick her up in person, but now he is faced with a difficult problem.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who had not attended court for several days, did not want to go today, but he had to go because he received news that someone in the court wanted to impeach his father-in-law, General Xia Lian.

Xia Lian had always behaved properly, and there was nothing to impeach him for. However, two days ago, his youngest son, Xia Changze, escaped from the Dali Temple prison, and Xia Lian was given an excuse to be impeached.

Mu Yunting guessed that impeaching Xia Lian in the court today would definitely cause him serious damage. He would either lose his military power or his son's life, and he might even lose both.

And he was going to court just to protect these two things for Xia Lian.

Military power is important, but Xia Changze's life is more important. We must not let the emperor sentence him to death at the morning court session. It is difficult to overturn the verdict once the emperor has spoken his mind.

No one would give him a chance to overturn the verdict. As long as he was sentenced to death, Xia Changze would be hunted throughout the city, and he would have no chance of survival if he showed up.

So Mu Yunting must go to court today.

He wanted to go find Xia Qingyan in person again.

Ye Yin couldn't stand the dilemma anymore and said, "Your Highness, why don't you let me follow the hunter to Longpan Mountain to find out the situation first, and then come back after your Highness finishes the court."

This was the only way, Mu Yunting nodded in agreement.

So Ye Yin took a team of secret guards to Longpan Mountain.

Mu Yunting went to save his brother's life for his concubine Xia.

The hunter who delivered the letter had been hunting in the Longpan Mountain area for many years and was very familiar with the terrain. With him leading the way, Ye Yin and others rode at full speed and arrived at a small village on the south side of Longpan Mountain before noon.

The secret guards searched the entire village, but naturally did not find Concubine Xia.

However, it was not without any gain. Ye Yin saw a mark unique to his own sect on the wall of a farmer's house.

He suddenly remembered the junior fellow apprentice whose acupoints he had blocked. He had been so busy looking for Concubine Xia these days that he actually forgot about him.

Ye Yin quickly confirmed with the hunter, and sure enough, there were two people who delivered the letter, one of whom was his cute little junior brother. Ye Yin immediately had a clue in his mind.

He knew this junior brother well. Although he was a little willful and naughty, his kung fu and character were impeccable. With him around, Concubine Xia would definitely not be in danger.

There was just one thing Ye Yin didn't understand. There were obviously two of them, so why didn't they come back to report the news? Who was the person with the junior brother?

With such doubts, Ye Yin followed the marks left by Chu Qi and headed south, arriving at Fenglin Town in the evening.

As soon as he entered Fenglin Town, Ye Yin was stunned by the portrait posted at the city gate.

After not seeing each other for many days, Concubine Xia turned out to be a murderer wanted by the government. What on earth did she go through?

Ye Yin did not dare to delay and went to the county government office as soon as possible to understand the case.

Perhaps he was in a hurry to get on with his journey, or perhaps he was too confident in himself, Ye Yin didn't even notice that someone was following him all the way.

This person also discovered Su Nuan's portrait the moment he entered Fenglin Town, but his reaction was completely different from Ye Yin's.

"Xia...sister, it's time to wake up."

Lao Liu shook Su Nuan, his face full of helplessness.

He admitted that he was too tired from running last night, but this Concubine Xia was too sleepy. She fell asleep as soon as she touched the pillow and could not be woken up no matter how he called her. There were several times when he suspected that she was dead and he felt relieved only after checking her breath.

After another failed attempt to wake him up, Lao Liu gave up completely.

Let love be what it is.

If the killer catches up, the worst that can happen is that he will have to fight with his life. At that time, he will not care about his master's orders or Concubine Xia's life. They will all be nothing.

"Little brother, tell your sister to get up and eat."

Mrs. Li called Laoliu through the door.

Mrs. Li is the hostess of the family where Su Nuan and her husband live. She is hardworking and kind.

This morning, when she was cleaning the courtyard gate, she "picked up" Su Nuan and her friend outside. They were exhausted and collapsed at the door of her house. Feeling sorry for them, Mrs. Li invited them into her house to rest and also made a bowl of porridge for Su Nuan.

"Little brother, is your sister sick? She has been sleeping for a whole day, is there anything wrong?"

When Lao Liu opened the door and came out, Mrs. Li asked him.

"It's okay. We encountered bandits on the road and almost lost our lives. She was just exhausted from running so much."

After a pause, Lao Liu added: "Maybe he was a little scared."

"Oh, this girl must have been frightened when she met bandits. If she was frightened, she might get seriously ill. The daughter of Liu Laosan from the previous village went into the mountains to pick up mountain products, and was chased by wolves. She got sick when she came back and was crazy for many days before she recovered. You should find a doctor to take a good look at her."

Lao Liu just made up an excuse just now, but after hearing what Mrs. Li said, he was a little scared.

He couldn't even take care of Concubine Xia when she was conscious, so what would he do if she went crazy? It was scary to think about it.
