Chapter 10 The Coward Who Runs Away
Qing He stood there in a daze, his mentor's instructions emerging in his mind: to protect Her Royal Highness the Princess no matter what happened.

Protect Her Royal Highness the Princess?

Who will protect the mentor?

The master's body was lost and its whereabouts are still unknown. He is the only person who knows the truth but he cannot take any action.

Master, what should Qinghe do?
He walked to the desk and sat down. It was only a few steps away, but it felt like a thousand pounds of heavy work.

A young man in red clothes appeared at the door at some point. He leaned against the door without saying a word, silently accompanying the miserable people who had the same fate as him.

Shi Nuanyu, who had completely calmed down, felt uneasy in her heart. She had touched someone else's things and was caught red-handed. Would Qinghe kill her tonight?

Otherwise, I would just run away today, avoid the limelight and come back later.

Shi Nuanyu was a person who did what she said, so she immediately went to find Zhenbao and leave the palace together.

The early spring sunshine is as soft as a thread, penetrating the thin clouds and sprinkling on the ancient street. Pedestrians walk together, muttering about family matters.

There are a wide variety of stalls on both sides of the street, and the stall owners’ shouts are heard one after another, mixed with the bargaining between buyers and sellers.

A group of children chased and played on the street corner, humming nursery rhymes. Occasionally, a horse-drawn carriage passed by, its wheels creaking as they rolled over the cobblestones.

In the crowd, a little girl in emerald green clothes was carrying a string of candied haws taller than her, and she followed effortlessly the weakly walking woman in a warm yellow dress in front of her.

The strange combination of the two attracted the attention of people around them.

"Princess, please don't be so sullen while eating your candied haws, okay?"

Zhenbao ate a candied haws in one gulp, not wanting to leave even a sliver of space in his mouth.

The joy between people is not shared!

Shi Nuanyu sighed that no matter how bright the sun was, it could not warm her heart.

"You do not understand."

Pleasure is temporary, but sin is endless.

People are like this. It takes a few minutes to repent for what has happened.

Forget it, he is going to kill me, why should I feel guilty?

Shi Nuanyu took a string of candied hawthorns and put it into her mouth. As soon as she took a bite, the sweet and sour taste spread in her mouth.

Her little face wrinkled up as she tried hard to swallow the saliva that overflowed from her mouth because of the sour taste of hawthorn.

Too sour.

The hawthorn version of the candied haws was not something a mortal like her could eat, so she took advantage of Zhenbao's inattention and put the candied haws back after eating it.

It tastes sour and sweet, and is perfect for making an apology.

She felt relieved when she thought that Wen Runru Qinghe was also so sour that his teeth fell out because of the candied haws.

Shi Nuanyu excitedly instructed, "Zhenbao, buy some candied haws for the gentlemen when you get back. Remember not to buy any that are not sour."

Wow, the princess is so nice to the gentlemen.

Zhenbao nodded heavily, his round eyes sparkling.

"Princess, leave it to the treasure."

Shi Nuanyu smiled and pinched her chubby little face, "You're so good, let's go, we finally got out, let's go play."

After being in the world of the book for a few days, apart from interacting with these paper people, she has not witnessed the prosperity of this era.

The book records that there are three kingdoms in Fuchuan Continent, namely: Nanyue Kingdom, Beilin Kingdom, and Dongchen Kingdom.

In terms of military strength, Nanyue Kingdom is the strongest, followed by Beilin Kingdom, while Dongchen focuses on culture. The other sixteen small countries are all vassals of the three kingdoms.

Now that the world is at peace, the three countries have signed a non-interference treaty with a term of twenty years. This has also led to the three countries wanting to take over the sixteen vassal states and expand the territory of their homeland.

I heard that Nanyue was not the largest country in Fuchuan Continent 20 years ago. At that time, Nanyue was in danger under the suppression of many countries.
At a critical moment of life and death, the Fourth Prince of Nanyue and his Imperial Concubine bravely stepped forward, defending the border with their mortal bodies, and single-handedly transformed Nanyue into the greatest nation. The current Emperor and Empress are bellicose, and even at the height of their power, they remain concerned with the border, dedicating five months of their time each year to patrol the border.

They are truly loved by the people and respected by all officials.

But such an emperor and empress gave birth to a cruel-hearted princess.

The officials once suspected that the princess was not the biological daughter of the emperor and empress, and cried and begged the emperor and empress to use their blood to prove their relationship. After the two bloods were mixed, they completely gave up hope.

The great scholar Wenyuan volunteered to teach the princess, but the princess was so stubborn that he got so angry that he fell ill in bed and had to recuperate for three months before he could leave the room.

From then on, no great scholar dared to volunteer to teach the princess.

It was a tragic start, and you, the original owner, deserved it.

Well, she got herself into trouble today.

Under the banyan tree, Nuanyu and Zhenbao were resting because they were tired from shopping. When they came out, they realized that they didn't bring any money with them.

They ate their steamed buns miserably and looked at each other, seeing sadness in each other's eyes.

Zhenbao took the last bite of his steamed bun and shook his purse.

"Princess, we have run out of copper coins and can't buy food."

Shi Nuanyu smiled awkwardly and touched her nose uncomfortably.

"Zhenbao, I will definitely compensate you well when I return."

At that time, she only wanted to leave the palace. In order not to attract attention, she deliberately refused the guards to follow her. Unexpectedly, she left the palace and forgot to bring the silver.

“The precious letter the princess mentioned,” she asked curiously after putting away her purse, “why don’t you go to the store to get the things like before.

The princess said that the whole world belongs to the royal family, so naturally the things in the shop belong to the princess too?"

"You don't have to pay for the things you take, and you won't lose five hundred coins for nothing."

After hearing this, Shi Nuanyu felt ashamed. The original owner's values ​​were truly indescribable.

The little girl around him was also taught to have a distorted outlook on life, but fortunately Zhenbao is simple and those ideas are not deeply rooted.

She spoke earnestly, "Treasures, if taken without permission, are theft. Those who are in charge of the royal family should protect Nanyue and the people. They must not commit crimes and harm the people."

"As the saying goes, if the emperor breaks the law, he is guilty just as much as the common people. As the Princess of Nanyue, I should set an example and uphold the laws of Nanyue."

Shi Nuanyu spoke with great confidence, but was beaten back to his original form by Zhenbao in the next second.

"Princess, from now on, we won't rob houses, shops, or male concubines anymore, will we? You've robbed a lot of things in the past."

The terrifying three ultimates were like a sharp blade piercing the chest.

Blood spurted out of Shi Nuanyu's mouth for three miles, just like the animated character in his previous life whose blood was splattered three feet.

She must restore her image in the little girl's heart.

"You are still young, precious treasure. You don't understand. I have grown up and understand many truths. A gentleman strives for self-improvement. I, your princess, will set an example and become a good princess who is useful to the people."

Before her death, the original owner ruined her reputation, oppressed the people, and did all kinds of evil. The people hated her deeply, which was one of the reasons for her tragic death in the end.

Now that she is here, she must leave a good impression on the people again.

Zhenbao let out a long "oh", but the princess was only one year older than her. Does being one year older still count as older?
The little girl didn't understand, but expressed her understanding.

"As long as what the princess says makes sense, Jewel will grow up with her."

On the tall banyan tree, a man wearing a black satin robe and a fang mask overheard their conversation.

The ice-blue eyes looked at the woman talking under the tree with great interest.
