After picking up the White Cut Black Prince

Even though Wen Chu had received Madam Song's order, she was afraid that Song Yusheng would not let her go, so she did not dare to stay for a moment and hurried out of the mansion. The Duke's Mansion was really too big. If she hadn't had a good memory, she might have been confused inside before she even walked out of the door.

Chunfeng and Dongyue would not come out to look for people directly under Madam Song's nose, but the same could not be said for the other secret guards.

Wen Chu always felt that there was someone following him, but he couldn't get rid of it.

These people are Song Yusheng's secret guards. If Wen Chu's mediocre kung fu can really shake them off, they don't need to live.

Moreover, Wen Chu was not familiar with Kyoto at all. Even though she was a princess, she had rarely left the palace. Once she sneaked out of the palace with someone else. When her father found out, he punished her for the first time. Wen Chu knelt for the whole night that day. No matter how much she cried, her father, who always loved her, remained unmoved and was determined to punish her.

It is not yet curfew time, the lights are shining like pearls in the night, the bright streets are in sight of the stars, and the streets of Kyoto are bustling with people, and even at night, it is still lively.

Wen Chu mingled among the crowd, but couldn't shake off these followers. In her distress, she glanced at a clothing store on the street and stepped in without any hesitation.

This is a women's clothing store. There are quite a few people picking out clothes inside. The secret guards are all dressed as men, so it would be inappropriate to rush in like this. But in a short while, all the exits here, big and small, will be guarded by them, and I'm afraid even the windows will not be spared.

Wen Chu casually picked up a blue gown and threw a piece of silver to the shop girl. The shop girl said, "Hey, girl, it's too much. I'll give you change."

"No, take me to the changing room quickly."

When they arrived at the place, Wen Chu pulled the person in without saying a word, "Please help me comb my hair again, please be quick."

Seeing that Wen Chu offered a lot of money, the shop maid agreed to the request.

Wen Chu was changing clothes and combing her hair at the same time. The two of them were busy together. The shop girl said, "Hey, hey, hey, girl, don't move. I'll comb your hair first, and then you can reach out."

"But girl, you look so skinny, how come your chest is so proud?"

Wen Chu just listened casually and didn't take it to heart.

Success or failure depends on this one move. She knows that if she is caught again this time, Song Yusheng can really kill her with one sword. Just thinking about this, Wen Chu's hands are shaking.

Although he was in a panic, he changed his clothes in less than a quarter of an hour, and his hair, which was originally pinned up, fell down to his shoulders.

She originally thought about putting on a hood to cover her head, but that would be too revealing.
After changing her clothes, Wen Chu hid behind a girl and went out. She was confident that she could get away with it. After all, she changed her clothes and hairstyle in such a short time, so it would be impossible to tell.

She thought she was foolproof, but after she went out, the feeling of being stared at still remained.

The secret guards had watched so many people before that even if they used disguises, they could not hide from their eyes. Wen Chu's behavior was really funny in their eyes. They thought she would escape through the window, as there were already many people hiding there. But what happened?

This operation is a bit ugly.

People were coming and going on the street, and no matter how Wen Chu walked or ran, he couldn't get rid of those people.

But even so, she still didn't dare to stop. Wen Chu became more and more anxious and began to panic, but at this moment, she accidentally bumped into someone.

Wen Chu bumped into a hard and broad chest, and when he looked up, he saw it was a man.

The man was dressed in purple, with a jade-inlaid purple gold crown on his head, a dark purple headband on his forehead, clear brows and a handsome appearance, looking no more than twenty years old.

Wen Chu recognized the man at a glance.

When she first met Song Yusheng in Zhaojia Village, it took her a long time to recognize his identity. But the man in front of her, Qi Ziyuan, the young master of General Zhaowu's family, was her best playmate when she was young, so even after so many years, she could still recognize him at a glance.

When she was still in the palace, Li Zhaoxi's mother, Concubine De, was born as a palace maid, but she was deeply loved by Emperor Chongming. Emperor Chongming ascended the throne at a young age and always listened to the Prime Minister and the Empress Dowager, but he refused to give in to Concubine De. At first, Concubine De was just a talented person, and she was promoted to concubine. Later, Emperor Chongming insisted on promoting her to Concubine De.

It was unreasonable for a palace maid to be promoted to the position of a concubine. No matter how the empress dowager advised her, or even threatened her by fasting, it was useless. As a result, even though she was later promoted to the position of Defei, she became the target of public criticism in the harem.

In the entire harem, except for Empress Xiaoyi, no one looked up to or esteemed Concubine De, and naturally no one looked up to Huaihe.

Perhaps it was because of Empress Xiaoyi that among the several princes, only the Crown Prince was willing to acknowledge her as his sister and to be close to her. Empress Xiaoyi's maternal family was the Qi family of General Zhaowu, and Qi Ziyuan was her nephew and the Crown Prince's cousin.

The northern part of Dazhao has always been restless. General Zhaowu concurrently served as the governor of the northern border to defend the northern border. Qi Ziyuan stayed with his father all year round and lived in the northern border. Later, when Qi Ziyuan was in his early teens, he fell seriously ill and recovered in Kyoto. After he recovered, the old lady of the Qi family was reluctant to let him go again. She persuaded him to stay in Kyoto for another two years before letting him go back to the northern border to follow his father and brother.

Li Zhaoxi was the person Qi Ziyuan met during that period.

She often went to Empress Xiaoyi's palace with her mother, and occasionally ran into her nephew Qi Ziyuan several times. Because Li Zhaoxi and the Crown Prince got along well, she became familiar with Qi Ziyuan.

The three of them often played together.

Li Zhaoxi didn't have many playmates in her childhood. Apart from the palace maids in Concubine De's palace, there were only the Crown Prince and Qi Ziyuan.

One is her royal brother, and the other is her royal brother's cousin.

Royal Brother
When she was young, she and her royal brother were almost inseparable. They were not biological siblings, but they were closer than biological siblings.

The sound of someone cursing nearby brought her back to reality. Someone cursed, "Hey, do you have eyes? You bumped into me like this, did you do it on purpose?"

Qi Ziyuan and his group had just come out of the restaurant. He was surrounded by several rich young men. The one who cursed was wearing a dark blue robe and was half a head shorter than Qi Ziyuan. They must have drunk a lot of wine, and they all looked a little drunk. Qi Ziyuan also had a strong smell of alcohol.

Wen Chu heard the scolding and came out of her memories. She was afraid that they would cause trouble again, so she stepped back and bowed her head to apologize, "Sir, I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry! I was blind and offended you!"

Wen Chu's head was almost hanging down to the ground.

Before Qi Ziyuan, who was hit, could say anything, someone beside him spoke up again, "You don't have eyes? Do you know who this person is? You want to get away with it just by saying you don't have eyes?!"

Qi Ziyuan had drunk too much and felt a little dizzy. The woman bumped into his chest, which made him sober up a little. He looked up and was stunned.

Lee So Hee.
Did he really not see it wrong?

He rubbed his eyes with his hand and looked over again, only to see that the person had turned around and ran away. He only heard her saying as she ran, "Sir, I'm really sorry, but my mother is seriously ill today and I was in a hurry to buy medicine. Please don't blame me!"

It turned out that my mother was seriously ill. No wonder she was so anxious.

The man wanted to pursue the matter, but when he heard her say that and saw that she had already run away, he just cursed her and didn't bother with her anymore.

Wen Chu turned around and ran a few steps before he caught a glimpse of a young man in white.

It was exactly Song Yusheng.

Shopkeepers were welcoming and seeing off customers below the restaurant, vendors were hawking their wares on the street, people were coming and going on the street, the background around him was so chaotic, but as long as he stood there, all the hustle and bustle around him had nothing to do with him.

Wen Chu saw the noble and distinguished young man at a glance, and obviously, he also saw the sword at his waist.

It wasn't there just now.

Wen Chu's legs were already a little weak, and she turned around without hesitation, even though she knew it was of no use.

Dong Yue quickly took out an object from his sleeve and hit Wen Chu's calf. Sure enough, before he could run a few steps, Wen Chu fell to the ground.

She fell straight down in front of Qi Ziyuan. The gentlemen around her were all stunned and said to Wen Chu, "No, girl, you just said you were going to buy medicine, what are you doing now? Why did you fall flat on your face? Are you trying to scam me?!"

Wen Chu fell to the ground, her hands were scraped, and she frowned in pain.

The chill behind him grew stronger, and Wen Chu could feel Song Yusheng approaching.

Several young masters present recognized Song Yusheng and showed some shock in their eyes. Didn't they say Song Yusheng was missing? Why did he appear here today? They looked at each other in bewilderment. Qi Ziyuan lowered his head and this time saw clearly the woman who had just bumped into his arms.

She looks so much like Li Zhaoxi, especially her eyes.
But Li Zhaoxi is dead, she can't be Li Zhaoxi.

He was also unwilling to believe that Li Zhaoxi was dead, but it was the fact. How could she survive from a cruel man like Prince Li?

Wen Chu was at her wit's end. If she were caught by Song Yusheng, she would definitely die.

She could only place her hopes on Qi Ziyuan in front of her.

Wen Chu remembered that when he was in the palace, Qi Ziyuan was a kind-hearted little boy.

Wen Chu raised her eyes and met his burning gaze. Her palms were already scratched and her eyes were filled with tears. She looked at Qi Ziyuan and said, "Master, help me."

Qi Ziyuan really squatted down. He looked at Wen Chu who fell to the ground, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Save you? Who wants to kill you? Didn't you just say you were going to buy medicine for your mother? How come you ran into your enemy again in just a short while?"

Even if he always dreamed of Li Zhaoxi at midnight, even if a woman who looked 90% like her appeared now, so what? Even if they looked exactly like her, as long as it wasn't Li Zhaoxi, Qi Ziyuan would not bother to take a look.

Wen Chu had only made up a lie to avoid trouble, but who knew that she would be exposed like this. Qi Ziyuan's series of questions instantly left her speechless.

Maybe she didn't check the almanac before going out today, or maybe she just doesn't like Kyoto.

She was speechless when questioned by her old friend.

Qi Ziyuan has changed.

He became less enthusiastic.

Wen Chu just watched Qi Ziyuan stand up without any reluctance and stagger forward with the group of drunken young men.

Qi Ziyuan and Song Yusheng were old acquaintances. When he saw Song Yusheng suddenly return to Beijing after missing for several days, he did not ask much questions. He just said hello and left.

The people around him couldn't help but look at Song Yusheng when they passed by. Who wouldn't be curious when someone who had been missing for several months suddenly appeared on the street?

However, these people could also see that the prince was in a bad mood. They were afraid of bringing bad luck to him, so they didn't even dare to approach him and quickly left.

Wen Chu fell to the ground, her heart filled with fear. She clearly didn't feel that she had done anything wrong, but she was still frightened and couldn't calm down.

She seemed to be petrified in place, not daring to move at all.

With every step Song Yusheng took closer, Wen Chu's heart sank a little more, until Song Yusheng walked in front of her and looked down at her, Wen Chu was almost drowned by the chill in his eyes.

Song Yusheng squatted down, and the perfect face enlarged in front of him.

Wen Chu cried and begged: "I know I was wrong, I won't dare to do it again, I really won't dare to do it again. Please don't kill me, I will be your slave, please."

Wen Chu wants to leave Kyoto, but she has to stay alive first before she can leave Kyoto.

She was so frightened that she couldn't even complete her sentences, and finally managed to utter these words.

Song Yusheng didn't say anything, but just stretched out his thumb to wipe the tears from her face.

His fingers were white and slender, and slightly cold. Because he had been holding swords and pens for many years, there was inevitably a thin layer of calluses on his fingertips. His thumb slid along her cheek to her rosy lips. He pressed down hard as if to punish her.

Wen Chu felt pain, but dared not make a sound. She could only look at him with tears in her eyes.

Song Yusheng smiled and said sarcastically, "How can you ask for something just because you meet a man on the road? Chu Niang, how can you do that?"

Song Yusheng saw everything she did just now, and naturally heard her asking Qi Ziyuan for help.

She was begging him some time ago, and today she is begging another man.

It was the same that day. I knelt at his feet and cried bitterly, feeling so sad.

But just now, she acted like this in front of other men.

When he thought of this, Song Yusheng couldn't control his strength and used so much force that blood oozed from Wen Chu's lips.

The blood beads on it made her red lips look even more like flowers.

It makes people want to ravage and destroy it.

He loosened his hand and put the bloody thumb into his mouth. A fishy and sweet smell instantly spread in his mouth.

Song Yusheng was not unfamiliar with the smell of blood, but at this moment he seemed to have discovered something rare, with a smile that almost spread out of his eyes. He said, "Mother Chu, your blood is very sweet. Do you think it would be better if the neck was cut?"

Wen Chu was almost scared crazy by Song Yusheng. She shook her head frantically, "No, it's not good."

Seeing that many people were watching nearby, Song Yusheng stood up before she could say a few words. He suppressed his smile and glanced at Wen Chu who was still lying on the ground and said, "Do you want to get up by yourself, or do you want me to help you get up?"

Wen Chu didn't care about the pain in his calf and got up from the ground without any delay.

The two walked to the carriage that stopped at the end of the long street.
I think someone reported her whereabouts to Song Yusheng, so he came here directly to catch her.

Wen Chu followed behind Song Yusheng and whispered, "My Lord, it was your mother who told me to leave, not me who wanted to leave."

She had to say these words when there were people passing by. Song Yusheng couldn't just hack her to death on the street.

"Then why did she let you go?"

Wen Chu said: "Because I said something wrong and pissed her off."

"You said those things on purpose to make her angry and ask her to drive you away. Do you think I won't pursue the matter? Do you think everyone is as stupid as you?"

After Song Yusheng finished speaking, Wen Chu did not dare to say anything. Nothing escaped his eyes. The two of them were silent for a long time. Song Yusheng suddenly said, "Are you willing to be a slave?"

This is what Wen Chu said herself. She asked him to let her go and she was willing to work for him like a slave.

What should he do? He still couldn't bear to kill her like this.

If you don't want to live in a golden house and insist on living in a thatched hut, then you should be a slave or a servant.

"Mother Chu, because you are my lifesaver, I have indulged you time and time again, but you are always like this. Even the best-tempered people will have some temper, right? I really wanted to kill you with a sword just now, but I thought of the day in Zhaojia Village when you cried and asked me to live a hundred years. At that time, you cried like this. Then I will live a hundred years in the future, and you will serve me all my life. This is not bad at all."

Song Yusheng's words shocked Wen Chu completely. Even palace maids could leave the palace when they reached a certain age, so why would she work like a slave for him all her life?

Who does he think he is, Song Yusheng? The Jade Emperor in heaven?

Wen Chu was a man whose mouth was dead, but his heart was still alive. But now that things were like this, she didn't dare to make a fuss anymore. She had completely understood that the so-called bright and handsome young man was all fake and deceptive!

The ominous hexagram was true, and she really shouldn't pick up men on the street. And after all, she was misled by the rumors. Who could have known that the most upright young man in the rumors would have such a face.
