After dinner, everyone rested in the inn, and everything seemed as usual.

After a nap, everyone got up to pack their things and prepare to set off to the next destination.

The masters got on the carriage first, and the servants followed suit.

The girl might be weak as she tripped noticeably. The servants quickly helped her up.

Trained as they were, they did not flatter or fawn over her despite having a favorable impression of her beauty.

They assisted her into the carriage and continued their duties.

As the carriage started, Yubao reported quietly to the emperor by the window.

“Master, this servant feels that the girl is not simple. Just now, it seemed like she intentionally tripped to attract the master’s attention.” “Hmm, her face is beautiful, but I don’t like it.

The empress laughed, “My dear, what kind of faces do you like?”

“Something like your dignified and elegant appearance. Besides her beauty, I can’t see any substance within. She might be good at serving with her looks, but over time, it will become tiresome.”

“Oh, I see. My dear, your eyes are discerning.”

“Back in the day, there was a concubine who was even more beautiful than her. One glance could make people infatuated. However, the Li family’s fortune almost collapsed because of her. I am not a foolish emperor who acts impulsively; I won’t be swayed by appearances. I let her stay to see what she intends to do.”

Yuan Jiaqi took a sip and gently put down his book.

“It seems like the girl came for us. I noticed her eyes were constantly glancing at our carriage.”

Qiao Mai sneered. “You observe quite attentively.”

“She wanted to bore a hole through our carriage with her eyes. I can’t avoid it.”

Qiao Mai glanced at the roof. “Blackie, keep an eye on that woman.”

“Woof, woof.’

The emperor pointed to the roof, “I like this pet of yours.”

“It has high standards and doesn’t fancy you. You can forget about it.”

“Hehe, I’m just joking.”

In the carriage behind, the girl sat next to the servants.

On his horse, Yubao approached the carriage window. “Miss, may I inquire if you have proof of residence as you travel?”

“No, I don’t. I had to escape in the middle of the night because someone wanted to harm me.”

“Where is your home?” “It’s in Du Village outside of Luzhou.”

“Why were you targeted?”

“Because of my face. The brothels in the city took notice of me, and my parents were forced to sell me. I refused, so they killed my parents. To protect me, my parents risked their lives and delayed them, allowing me to escape.”

“Oh? So now you’ve exposed yourself. Won’t someone try to harm you in the future?”

“No, I can tell you are all good people. Moreover, you seem wealthy and influential. I believe that I will have no worries about my life following you.”

Yubao chuckled. “Alright, you can follow us. Nanny Liu, educate her on the rules. ”

“Yes.”

Nanny Liu looked at the girl. “Since you’ve joined our master, you need to change your appearance and name. For now, you’ll be called Qing Xing. We haven’t arranged anything for you yet, so follow me and learn the rules.”

“Yes.”

“We’ll arrange a contract for you. You can’t follow us without clear terms.” The girl blinked, but she obediently nodded.

Late at night, they rested in a guesthouse in Yanyu Town. Qing Xing behaved obediently, showing no signs of her intentions.

After having dinner, everyone went to sleep. The night was quiet, and the surroundings were pitch black, with only the moon shining in the sky.

On the roof, Blackie’s eyes glowed ominously.

It lifted its head, and its ears perked up, indicating some movement below. A shadow leaped out of the window and disappeared into the night.

Blackie vanished instantly, following her.

Unaware of these events, the girl moved far away from the town before stopping. She took a whistle from her pocket and blew it a few times.

Soon, another shadow appeared beside her. “This subordinate pays respects to the Sect Lord.”

“How did things go?”

“I have joined their group, but…”

“But what?”

“Their leader doesn’t seem to care about my appearance.”

“Humph, no cat can resist the temptation to steal fish, let alone an emperor. When faced with a beautiful woman, how can he resist it? Stay undercover for now.”

“Yes, Lord.”

Blackie recognized a man and a woman, with the man being the lord and the woman being his subordinate.

The two of them were unaware of Blackie.

As the day dawned, the group had breakfast and continued riding on the official road. Blackie used telepathy to convey the events of the previous night to Qiao Mai.

She grinned. “A sect lord? It seems like there’s a force trying to stir up trouble in the dark. They’re overestimating themselves.”

“In-law, send the Golden Dragon Guards back to the capital immediately to keep an eye on your crown prince.”

“Is there a problem?”

“Not yet, but someone has planned this. They sent such a beautiful woman to seduce you. Presumably, they will make a move simultaneously.”

The emperor couldn’t help but worry, “Alright, I’ll send someone immediately.”

That night, Qiao Mai appeared by the girl’s bed and touched her sleeping acupoint. Then, she probed her memories.

Unexpectedly, there was a pleasant surprise. A restriction was placed on her mind, making it challenging to retrieve information.

However, it was far from sophisticated, too low-level to be considered refined.

With her spiritual power, Qiao Mai broke the restrictions. Meanwhile, a man hundreds of miles away spat out a mouthful of blood, holding his chest. “I’m being counterattacked? How is that possible? Who broke my restrictions?”

Qiao Mai withdrew her hand and returned to her room. Yuan Jiaqi looked at her.

“Wife, how is it?”

“Is there a force in the martial world called the Holy Dark Temple?”

“The Holy Dark Temple?”

“Yes, I extracted this information from the girl’s mind. She’s a small fry and knows very little. Last night, she met the sect lord of the Holy Dark Temple. Four sect lords obey the orders of the Dark Temple’s Grand Master.” “Is it a threat to us?”

“No, the lord’s skills seem low-level. I presume their master is not much stronger. Let’s see.”

“Wife, be careful.’

Qiao Mai glanced at him, nodding lightly. “Okay.”

For five days straight, they continued their journey and were about to reach Suzhou. Once they entered the city, they could relax for a while.

At nightfall, the group entered Suzhou City.

Yubao had been working hard, arranging the inn and ordering meals.

He had booked the second floor of the inn. Everyone sat around a table in the room, eating.

The emperor’s group wrinkled their brows, looking at the dishes. If not for Qiao Mai, they would have already started devouring the food. “Our food has been tampered with. There is a sleeping drug inside.”

“What about them?”

“They have been affected too.”

“What should we do?”

“I’ve sealed the second floor; no one can escape. Three of you can pretend to faint later.”

“What about you?”

“Of course, I’ll pretend to faint as well.”

Qiao Mai threw some food, and the four pretended to pass out.

On the roof, Blackie continuously flickered its red eyes, finding it amusing that even Qiao Mai was pretending to faint!

Late at night, the drug proved to be potent. Guards and servants lay on tables and the floor, sleeping deeply.

However, among those supposed to be sleeping, Qing Xing quietly raised her head, glanced around, and stood up to inspect them.

After ensuring everything went smoothly, she approached the emperor’s table. Everyone was fast asleep.

Seeing that everything was in order, she approached the window, whistling.
