Walking on the streets of Jinwu City, Wu Jie looked around and secretly marveled.

What a bustling city! It is indeed the most important town in the eastern part of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Xinshao City, the capital of my family's East Vietnam, is already a top-level prosperous city, with commerce and trade, and rich people, but it is still far inferior to the city in front of me.

This place is already so prosperous, the Capital City in the Northern Wei Dynasty should be even more beautiful.

It's ridiculous that although I stayed in the Northern Wei Dynasty for many years in my previous life, I have never seen folk customs from beginning to end. The canary in the cage is so sad.

Shen Sishu and his party arrived at an independent manor in the east of the city.

The stewards of the manor came up to welcome them. They were a little surprised why there was a woman in the team, but they only regarded it as a concubine who was accompanied by someone. They specially arranged for two maids to send Wu Jie to a small courtyard.

Wu Jie wisely didn't point it out.

Shen Sishu and others were surrounded by the stewards and went to the main hall, ready to hand over their duties.

Wu Jie went all the way to the backyard, and when she entered the yard, she immediately ordered the maid to prepare toiletries, clothes and jewelry.

Such domineering behavior is obviously the work of a favored concubine. The maids and servants had no doubts, and immediately prepared things according to the instructions.

Wu Jie changed her clothes, and under the pretense of taking a rest, she drove away the maid. Taking advantage of the time before dawn, he quietly came to the backyard, seeing no one around, turned out along the back wall.

Both feet landed on the street, Wu Jie couldn't believe it, she left so easily?

Maybe it was because of the pensive book, they didn't expect that they would run away at all!

In fact, after entering the city, Wu Jie had already decided to leave. Now that her father, Prince De, is here, as long as she contacts the embassy, ​​she can hide, and then wait for her father to settle the official business with Great Wei, and return to East Vietnam together.

What Yuan Jing, what Prince Fu, what Lu Zhaoyi, all go to hell!

I was in a hurry to leave, and because of one thing, my parents must be sad and painful when they heard the news of my death. I had to go back as soon as possible to make them feel at ease.

The street behind the manor was quite deserted, Wu Jie came out, and after a little inquiring on the street, she learned the location of the East Vietnam Mission.

Crossed two streets and arrived at the destination.

Sitting in a tea house opposite the mansion, Wu Jie ordered a pot of tea and two plates of dim sum.

Looking anxiously at the closed door of the mansion.

Seeing that his father is close at hand, how should this layer of window paper be pierced?

The good situation brought about by Zifen's death must not be wasted. How can I contact my father without alarming others?

There was a gleam of light in the sky, and this night full of twists and turns and absurdities finally passed. Although Wu Jie hadn't slept all night, Wu Jie didn't feel sleepy at all.

While waiting in the teahouse, more than a dozen methods flashed in her mind, such as "pretending to be Zifen who escaped death and going to see her", "dressing up as a beggar and calling for help", "people from the East Vietnam wandering outside and asking for help" and so on. However, there is no guarantee that nothing will go wrong.

The biggest embarrassment was that, as the envoy prince, his father could not be seen by ordinary people at will, and it was impossible for him to be accompanied by accompanying persons. This brought great difficulties to Wu Jie's plan to recognize relatives.

I kept worrying until the sun was three poles, and saw small snowflakes floating outside again. Wu Jie couldn't help wrapping the cloak tightly around her body.

I can only book a room to live in. Although Jinwu City has a prosperous business and many tourists, it seems that it is not appropriate for a single woman to stay in the hotel. Fortunately, still have the citation letter from Boss Cai, and Wu Jie is thinking about it. Do you want to buy a set of men's clothes first?

Suddenly, he saw the door of the opposite mansion open.

A dozen or so attendants with unfamiliar faces came out surrounded by one person.

Wu Jie's eyes widened instantly, did her father come out? At the thought of this possibility, all the previous careful consideration was reduced to ashes. She couldn't help but rushed out of the teahouse and walked to the street market.

But soon, she calmed down, and the cold snowflakes fell on her cheeks, reminding the cruel reality.

The person in front of him is thin, so he is definitely not the father. Wu Jie was disappointed for a while, turned her head and left.

However, a call from behind stopped her.

"Wait a minute! Are you, Zifen girl?"

Wu Jie was startled, and turned her head to look at the young man surrounded by the crowd, with handsome and exquisite features, and the youthful vigor that is unique to him.

It's the guard named Little Mo. I also saved him on Bailu Mountain.

Surrounded by the guards, Little Mo was about to get on his horse and leave. When he saw Wu Jie, he immediately threw away the reins and hurried over here.

Wu Jie wanted to leave, but it was already too late. Then she remembered that when she met on Bailu Mountain last time, in order to conceal her identity, she had indeed told him that her name was Zifen, and she was a maid in Prince De's Mansion.

Unexpectedly, when the prophecy came true at the beginning, I really became a purple fennel.

Uh, but now that his appearance has changed a lot, he can still recognize him?

Standing in front of Wu Jie, the boy showed surprise on his face: "Miss Zifen, is it really you?"

Wu Jie could only hum.

The boy was overjoyed: "When I saw the girl's back just now, I thought it looked familiar, and when I saw the girl's face, I thought I had recognized the wrong person."

Wu Jie was taken aback. It turned out that he didn't recognize her own face, but only noticed some similarities from her back. If she hadn't stopped just now and continued to move forward, maybe there wouldn't be so many things.

I am very sorry. But it was too late.

Little Mo looked at her appearance, and a look of pity flashed in his eyes: "I've heard about the incident of you falling into the water before. I didn't expect such a tragedy to happen."

Wu Jie felt uneasy about the young man's closeness. She and the young man in front of her were only acquainted with each other, and she was not familiar with him at all. Moreover, she wanted to contact her father now. Both father and daughter returned home. To these officials of Great Wei, Contact as little as possible.

After thinking for a while, she said vaguely, "I accidentally fell into the water and was rescued later."

"Then you went to Beijing alone to find Her Royal Highness? It was a hard journey, why didn't you contact the local government?" Little Mo couldn't help asking.

How to answer this question? That's why she didn't want to have more contact with these people, there must be more and more flaws.

Fortunately, several of Little Mo's companions stepped forward, one of whom had a handsome face and a calm demeanor.

He looked at Wu Jie and asked, "Zimo, is this the purple anise girl you mentioned earlier?"

Little Mo nodded and said with a smile: "Fourth Brother Yin, Miss Zifen is the maid of Her Highness the Princess, and she was kind to save my life before."

Fourth brother Yin nodded at Wu Jie: "I didn't expect the girl to be lucky enough to escape death by herself. In this way, we can also withdraw the people who were sent to salvage the river." Dozens of boats boarded thousands of people. No. It's not unreasonable for someone to squat on the river every day.

Little Mo smiled and said: "That's right, thank you for your hard work, please trouble fourth brother Yin to pass the order on my behalf."

Did he send someone to salvage himself on the river before? Wu Jie was taken aback by the news revealed during the conversation between the two.

I couldn't help but be a little moved, I didn't expect that he would miss himself so much after saving him just once.

"The girl has saved my life, and I can't repay it. Of course, I have to do my best for the girl." Little Mo said with a smile. It’s gone. Seeing it now, it’s true that the sky has eyes.”

"Thank you very much." Wu Jie could only say,

"The girl is here to find Her Royal Highness. It's just..." Little Mo had a troubled expression on his face, as if he didn't know what to say about the painful news.

"I've already heard about Her Highness the Princess on the way..." Wu Jie readily accepted the problem, revealing just the right amount of grief.

"Girl Purple Anise, don't be sad, it's all caused by assassins, so please give me your condolences." Little Mo comforted her considerately.

"Girl, why don't you come into the mansion with me first, this is the place where the envoys of your country are supposed to stay."

Wu Jie was taken aback for a moment, oops, she wasn't ready yet!

But wanting to refuse, there is no suitable reason at all.

Wu Jie was still hesitating, but Little Mo didn't give her a chance to refuse, a group of people surrounded her and went straight into the mansion.

Stepping into the gate, Wu Jie closed her eyes, forget it, let's take a step and take a step. Among the officials of Dongyue this time, there are not many people who know her, and now her appearance has changed drastically, and she can always cover it up.

Entering the mansion, beyond her expectations, there were very few people, the servants and maids walking were all unfamiliar faces, obviously they were all the original servants in the mansion.

"Prince De and several ceremony officials went to Prince Fu's mansion. I heard that Prince De and His Royal Highness hit it off. Prince Fu appreciated the prince's literary talent and invited him to stay in the palace." Little Mo explained.

Wu Jie breathed a sigh of relief. Although she was a little disappointed not to see her father, she had a chance to deal with all this better.

"Young lady, you must be suffering these days. You can feel at ease when you come here." Little Mo's actions were extremely efficient. In a short period of time, she had already ordered someone to help her arrange the room and the maid. All kinds of objects are readily available.

Wu Jie thanked her with a smile, and couldn't help wondering, this little Mo seemed to be the younger brother of the commander of the guard named Mo next to King Yuan Zhe of Zi. , the younger brother of a fourth-rank guard, has such great authority?

"Little Mo, why are you here, haven't you returned to Capital City?"

Little Mo smiled embarrassedly: "I have been to Dongyue before, so this time I was sent to help receive the diplomatic missions. In fact, I don't know much. It all depends on learning more."

He is a modest, prudent and polite boy, but...it seems that his own question has not been answered at all.

Forget it, anyway, when leave here, won't see these people again. Wu Jie didn't bother to ask.

Seeing that she looked tired, Little Mo made arrangements and thoughtfully left.

After leaving the mansion, Bai Lin, the attendant beside him, said with a smile: "Your Majesty, is this girl the girl you mentioned repeatedly before? Didn't you say that Miss Zifen is a great beauty..."

"Who did you hear about the appearance of the purple anise girl." Little Mo's face darkened.

"It's Lao Wang. He boasted that when he was on a diplomatic mission in Dongyue, he met an assassin and was rescued by a beauty like a fairy. It seems to be this purple anise girl." Seeing his master's complexion, Bai Lin asked cautiously.

Little Mo snorted coldly, "Send that bad-mouthed guy to the border tomorrow, don't stay in Capital City to be an eyesore."

"Uh..." Bai Lin choked up his words, and silently sympathized in his heart.

"By the way, I'll find a good doctor immediately to treat Miss Zifen." Miss Zifen's appearance was greatly damaged, it must be poisoning or disease.

Women cherish their looks, he was afraid that Miss Zifen would be sad, so he deliberately avoided this question just now, but there is no need to delay asking for a doctor to delay the medicine.
