Baili Ming pushed Lu Ningshuang forward on the country road. The villagers working in the fields on both sides looked up, with smiles on their simple faces.

"Master Baili is taking his wife out for a walk?"

"Madam Baili has woken up, that's good!"

"Congratulations, Master Baili. Your sincerity moves the heavens..."

Baili Ming nodded one by one. The arrogance in his bones and the respect shown by the villagers as a habit made Lu Ningshuang see the clue.

Yun Valley might not be that simple. It might be the last hideout of Baili Lin, the brother who failed in the fight for the throne. After all, Baili Lin killed all his brothers after he came to power.

Looking around, lush herbs are growing wildly on the fertile black soil, and warm spring water is flowing through the ditches, slowly irrigating the delicate and precious medicinal materials.

In the black soil, the shadows seemed to come alive.

rustling...

rustling...

It climbed up and down and drilled into the root system of the herbs.

"My dear, do you see anything there?"

Lu Ningshuang grabbed Baili Ming's sleeve in fear, pointed at a cluster of red plants whose petals looked like silk threads, and called out the name Baili Ming had asked for without any burden.

Baili Minghui held her hand and said calmly:

"Yan'er, you are seeing things wrong. There is nothing there."

The shadows froze and the crawling tracks became an illusion.

He continued to comfort her:

"Yan'er, are you tired?

That's right, you just woke up and your body is weak. You've been out for such a long time, I'll just accompany you for a while and then we should go back."

At the end of the field, a huge waterwheel transports the misty hot spring water to bamboo pipes. In the mill covered with bamboo fences next to it, women in coarse cloth skirts separate the dark red rice grains from the rice husks.

Hearing someone approaching, he subconsciously looked over, and the cold gaze made people feel a chill on their backs.

When he found out it was Baili Ming and the others, he quickly became friendly.

"Mr. Baili is here, is it your wife you are pushing?

I have heard that Master Baili is devoted to his wife and has no regrets. It turns out that his wife is such a beauty!"

"Yes, it's just that Madam's body looks a little weak, but with Master Baili's careful care, she will definitely get better."

"Madam Baili seems to be quite young, about the same age as the youngest daughter in the family.

Madam Baili, I am Aunt Luo who lives next to the old tree at the entrance of the village. If you have any problems in the future, you can come to me."

The woman with a kind smile wrapped several pounds of blood rice in white cotton cloth, brought it out and stuffed it into Alai's arms.

"This is a little gift from you, Auntie. Use it to make porridge for your wife. It is the best way to nourish your blood."

The woman approached, and the dark and corrupt smell on her body made Lu Ningshuang subconsciously feel nauseous. After saying a few words apologetically, Baili Ming took her back to the attic halfway up the mountain.

The golden sunset cast its light on the earth. Lu Ningshuang sat on a bamboo armchair beside the railing on the second floor, gazing at the picturesque Yun Valley.

This is a good place to live in seclusion from the world. For Baili Ming, it is a good place to kill people and hide the bodies.

It has been more than three months since she disappeared.

The outside world didn’t know how everything had changed so drastically, and she didn’t know whether her good sister had done anything earth-shattering.

Just like last time, after so long, no one has found any trace of her.

Last time, I relied on Xiaobing to deliver the message.

The first intelligence organization in the underworld? The shadow guard of the Qiang king? The blood-stained guard of the last emperor of Qi?

They are all a bunch of idiots!

It's just that the master's appearance is somewhat interesting.

The others are simply unreliable.

Fortunately, Lu Ningshuang had never placed her hopes on these people. Baili Ming kidnapped her, which gave her a chance to restart the game.

Lu Yan who blindly obeys, Ji Ruyang who takes whatever he wants, Baili Lin who is devoted to him, Liu Xunfeng who helps the tyrant, Fu Nanjia who turns love into hatred, and Jiang Shuo who is always fighting outside...

It's just like that after playing a few more times.

There's nothing new to say.

That is...

She lowered her eyes and stroked the exotic blanket on her knees, and suddenly remembered the white-haired young man who was reluctant to accept her in her dream.

She looked like she had no choice but to accept her fate and act recklessly.

Of all people, only him.

Every time she gets addicted to it.

Lu Ningshuang was silent for a long time. The tall and beautiful Alai, who always had a sullen face, was busy in the kitchen without saying a word.

Baili Ming locked himself in the side room and pounded the medicine, making a "thump thump thump" sound.

The curling smoke and the rich smell of human life pulled Lu Ningshuang out of her thoughts.

She threw away the blanket and lifted up her skirt, revealing the hideous scar on her calf, the size of a palm, like a giant centipede lying there.

She reached out and pressed it, and the bone still ached slightly.

That’s right, it takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. It’s normal that she didn’t heal after falling so badly.

Lu Ningshuang smiled, put her feet on the ground, and stood up by holding the handrails with both hands.

Before he could fully stand up, he staggered and fell to the ground.

The two people downstairs heard the noise and ran over quickly, and saw Lu Ningshuang falling to the ground, biting her lips and sobbing silently, her fair cheeks wet with tears and sweat.

Baili Ming was not yet accustomed to her husband's identity. He frowned for two seconds before changing his brows to a look of heartache. He hurriedly squatted down and hugged Lu Ningshuang in his arms.

"Yan'er, how are you? Did you fall anywhere?"

Lu Ningshuang buried her face in Baili Ming's neck, sobbing in a low voice, and said with a dead heart:

"My husband, my legs are broken, right? Will I never be able to walk again?"

Baili Ming laughed secretly, patted her back gently, and advised solemnly:

"Yan'er, don't let your imagination run wild. Your leg is fine. It will heal if you take some rest. Don't scare yourself!

Even if you can't get better, don't you still have me? I am willing to be your legs for the rest of my life, and I will accompany you wherever you go..."

Alai, who came later, wiped his hands on the apron in front of him. When he saw Baili Ming holding Lu Ningshuang in his arms to comfort her, his teeth almost broke.

When has her Highness ever been so gentle to others?

Why is this woman?

It’s just for the holy Gu in her body!

Alai tried his best to persuade himself that His Highness was so nice to that woman because of the Holy Gu, which was a treasure that only appeared once every few hundred years, and the overall situation should be taken into consideration.

After calming herself down, she said:

"Sir, Madam, dinner is ready, please go down and have dinner."

Baili Ming nodded, and strode downstairs carrying the heartbroken Lu Ningshuang.

The food on the table was very light and Lu Ningshuang refused to eat it at all.

Baili Ming has not yet found a way to remove the holy Gu, so Lu Ningshuang's health is very important, so he took a deep breath and patiently comforted her.

He smiled and looked at the willful girl with cold eyes, and the chopsticks in his hand were almost broken.

"Yan'er, be obedient!"

Lu Ningshuang raised her head suddenly and looked at him in disbelief, with pearls in her eyes about to fall.

"You are mean to me? Baili Ming, you really do hate me!"

She waved her hand and overturned all the dishes in front of her, pointed at the door and shouted in pain:

"Go away! Go away! I don't want to see you!"

Baili Ming couldn't stand this anger. He stared at her with a cold look, slammed the table to pieces, and walked out.

Alai naturally followed.

After the two left, Lu Ningshuang stopped shouting, picked up the oil lamp on the ground and lit the house.

Thick smoke rose into the sky. Baili Ming, who had run to the nearby hillside to get some fresh air, gritted his teeth when he saw this and turned around and ran back.

Damn, why is she so difficult?

If I had known earlier, I would have said she was a prisoner!
