her lips and quickly prepared the mugwort decoction, having everyone line up to fill their cups.First came the officials, then ordinary people. Whether intentionally or not, everyone tacitly let the...Seeing the hesitation in her eyes, Jiang Wan spoke at the right time, "Are you afraid, Hua girl"

If you're afraid, just come down. We can think of another way.

"I'm not afraid!"

As dawn approached, Hua Xiaoxin vehemently denied it. How could she be afraid She still had to complete the task given by the Sixth Prince.

Thinking this, Hua Xia grabbed the rope with both hands and gently kicked her feet. Her body slid down half the distance along the rope.

However, before she reached the middle, she suddenly didn't know what to do. She looked down at the river water below and her head felt dizzy.

"Little flower girl, slide past!"

Chen Li was shouting loudly, but his voice was carried away by the wind. Hua Xiao couldn't hear him clearly.

She clutched the rope tightly, her heart pounding wildly.

What should she do

Hua Xiao's hand moved slightly, like an ant, its movements unbearably slow.

Ren frowned. If everyone acted this way, even if it was safe, it would be particularly time-consuming.

I guess I'll be spending the whole day here.

And on the rope, Hua Xiao was still slowly climbing, she kept changing hands, her arms slightly numb.

No, if she keeps going like that, she's going to fall!

Huāxiǎo was startled, her pretty face turning pale. Fortunately, she still had her wits about her at this moment and quickly changed direction.

She hadn't reached the middle of the rope yet, and was still two-thirds of the way from the opposite bank. She could still make it back in time.

Then everyone saw that the flower had moved to a new spot and slowly ground its way back.

The crowd: ...

"Lǐzhèng, look at this situation, how can we possibly live with it"

Ren Bang sighed. Hua Xiao was different from the others; she had been riding in the carriage the whole time, while everyone behind him looked exhausted.

Of course, the Song family is an exception.

Chen Li-zheng spread his hands, unwilling to offend Ren Bang, so he could only say directly to him:

"My lord, it's not that I'm unfeeling. Someone gave me orders to make sure you exiles don't have it too easy."

He deliberately spoke loudly,

to tell Ren Bang and the exiled people.

This move was somewhat heartbreaking for Song Jiubian and Jiang Wan, because everyone, including these officials, might secretly blame them.

"I told you so, Ginger and her friends must have offended someone!"

Song Erniang was brave, she actually dared to speak so directly. The others were afraid of Ginger Twist and hung their heads, too scared to speak.

Only Ginger knew that everyone was probably blaming them in their hearts.

"What are you talking about Did they mention names"

Song Jiuli immediately retorted loudly, then looked at Chen Lizheng, confidently stating:

"Li Zheng, why don't you tell everyone, did we offend someone"

She didn't believe Chen Lizheng could still say that they had offended the Sixth Prince!

Chen Li-zheng: ...

Can he say he doesn't know himself

The county magistrate only hinted at it, could he say it outright

Of course not!

"Can't you say it"

Song Jiu's lips curled into a satisfied smirk, and she subtly raised her chin. For a moment, she even seemed to exude the aura of a noble lady from the former capital's War Mansion.

She let out a cold snort and glared at Song Er-nü, "If you can't say it, just don't talk nonsense. It could very well be that you have offended someone yourself."

"Your family is the best at offending people."

Song Erniang muttered under her breath, not daring to speak too loudly. After all, she was also afraid of Jiang Wan's fist.

"Evidence"

Jiang Wan narrowed her eyes, her gaze somewhat frightening, causing Song Erniang to shrink her neck and dare not speak again.

At this time, Hua Xiao finally came down from the rope with her legs trembling after being stuck for so long.

Wen Ru Yu helplessly stepped forward and helped the person up, “What are you trying to prove by doing this”

At this moment, Wen Ruyu, who had previously held some disdain for Hua Xiao, unexpectedly felt a tinge of pity for her.

Hua Xiao Bai blushed, "Actually... it's not that scary. I just thought if it was over, I wouldn't be able to share my feelings with you all.

"So I turned back halfway, so that it would be convenient for me to share my experience with you all, right"

This person was talking nonsense, naturally hoping to let the Jiang Wan family slip away too.

The crowd: ...

If it weren't for your pale face and trembling legs, we would have believed you.

"You're not afraid, why are your legs shaking"

Jiang Wan's smile was ambiguous, and with a single sentence she exposed Hua Xiao's disguise. Hua Xiao was slightly annoyed.

"I... didn't shake."

"My dear, you need to look in a mirror. Your face is as white as a ghost."

Song Jiuli's words made Hua Xiao even more embarrassed. She could only say stubbornly:

"Anyway, I've tried it for you guys, the rope is pretty sturdy and safe."

Having finished speaking, Hua Xiao didn't waste any time. She quickly climbed into the carriage, her appearance clearly showing a bit of distress.

Wen Ru Yu said nothing, and followed onto the carriage.

In the crowd, people only dared to whisper, "Looking at her like that, she's terrified, and yet she still says it wasn't very difficult."

She couldn't have intentionally harmed us, could she

"It seems she's also involved in some shady dealings with the Song family."

"Shhh, keep your voice down, don't let that she-devil hear you."

“...”

For a moment, the atmosphere grew tense. Ren Bang scratched his thinning hair in frustration.

Chen Lizheng slightly raised his lips, it seemed that the county magistrate's task assigned to him was about to be completed.

Ginger's fingertips unconsciously rubbed against her palm, this situation, how to solve it

The other party clearly refused to help because of their status.

Just as everyone was worrying, the sound of horses' hooves came. Then, everyone saw some familiar clothes.

This is clothing that only people in the palace can wear.

Ginger and Song Jiubian exchanged a knowing glance. The person who would break the deadlock had arrived.

Everyone looked towards the direction. A horse stood in front of the crowd, with a carriage in the middle.

The carriage curtains were soon drawn back, revealing a familiar figure to Song Jiubian's eyes.

> Come, rejoice!

Though not the most trusted eunuch in the current emperor's court, he was still a figure of some importance.

"The War Princess receives the imperial decree!"

Lai Xi came down from the carriage, holding a imperial edict. His attitude towards Jiang Wan and Song Jiu Yuan softened considerably.

Although not accustomed to it, Jiang Wan still followed the crowd and knelt down. As for Song Jiubian, he remained seated there as steady as a mountain.

"My body isn't really up to kneeling."

"Our family believes the Emperor will understand."

Lai Xi smiled at Song Jiuyuan. Although it was only about restoring their names, Lai Xi was a smart person.

No one can say for sure what will happen in the future, so he never reveals his emotions easily. òй.

The sound of a flurry, even Hua Xiao inside the carriage was pulled down and made to kneel on the ground by Wen Ru Yu.

Huaxiao was very unhappy. As a modern person, how could she possibly kneel down so easily Damn this feudal system of the ancient times!

When she becomes queen, she'll definitely make some changes.

By Heaven's mandate, the Emperor proclaims:

The valiant Song Jiangshi is intelligent and kind. She helped me solve the major issue of smallpox, bringing great comfort to my heart. I hereby pardon Song Jiubien's entire clan and restore their titles.

Another warlord, Song Jiubian, was exceptionally intelligent and resourceful. To reward him, the emperor granted him the land of Jizhou as his fiefdom and bestowed upon him numerous treasures.

Ginger and Song Jiubian: ...

The two of them stood in silence, silently complaining in their hearts. The so-called emperor truly lived up to his name as a dog emperor, not giving them any chance to return to the capital at all.

"Thank you for your generous gift, I will follow your command!"

Ginger stepped forward and respectfully took the imperial edict from His Majesty. Complaints aside, she knew how to put on a show.dly watched Song Erniu cry. Earlier when her son, Yuan'er, was half dead, they had acted the same way.What goes around comes around!Song Jiuchi brought back a large pile of firewood and awkwardly buil...
