Many children, many blessings; a stunningly beautiful wife is given to you right from the start.

The door was violently pulled open from the inside with a "whoosh"!

The door slammed against the wall with a loud bang, startling the birds in the trees into flying away.

Xia Man'er, with her bare, white feet, stood menacingly at the door like a lioness who had been provoked.

Her hair was messy, and her maid's uniform was wrinkled.

"You old geezer! Where's my brother Lin Mo?!"

"Where did you hide him? Give him back to me right now!"

Outside the door, Wenruo was bowing respectfully, holding an exquisite food box in her hands.

The sudden roar startled him so much that his hand trembled and he almost dropped the food box.

He was taken aback for a moment, then, seeing that it was the princess who had woken up, he quickly composed himself and explained.

"Princess, Young Master Lin... left the city early this morning with several ladies. It wasn't me who interfered."

As he spoke, he handed the food box forward, a kind smile appearing on his face.

"Princess, you slept until noon, you must be hungry. This old minister has ordered your favorite osmanthus lotus root starch and crystal shrimp dumplings to be prepared, please take a look..."

"Have you left the city?"

Xia Man'er didn't even look at the food box.

Her mind was filled with resentment and anger at being abandoned, and her big eyes were wide open.

"Where did you go?"

"Reporting to the Princess, we've gone to... Blackwater Pass."

"What are you going to Heishui Pass for?"

Xia Man'er subconsciously pressed for an answer.

Upon hearing this, Wenruo's heart stirred.

Here comes a good opportunity to persuade the princess to leave.

He immediately stopped smiling, his expression turned serious, and his voice became very low.

"Your Highness, you may not know this, but King Qi, Xia Yuan, has personally led an army of 400,000 to assemble in the western border. Soon, his troops will be at the gates of Blackwater Pass."

"This northern border is about to turn into a sea of ​​blood, and the entire Zhenbei City is in grave danger!"

As Wenruo spoke, she secretly observed Xia Man'er's expression.

Very well, the young princess's expression began to change.

He decided to add fuel to the fire, preparing to embellish the description of the war's cruelty.

What does it mean to have mountains of corpses, severed limbs flying everywhere, and rivers of blood...?

It's guaranteed to terrify the naive princess, who's never seen the world before, leaving her crying and begging to return to the southern frontier with him.

However, Xia Man'er's next reaction caused Wen Ruo to choke on all the prepared remarks he had made.

After hearing the words "400,000 troops", "a sea of ​​blood", and "in imminent danger".

Xia Man'er's puffed-up little face froze for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, the little temper tantrum caused by being "abandoned" was instantly replaced by a huge panic.

fight?

Is Lin Mo's brother in danger?

Then... will he die?

The thought exploded in her mind like a thunderbolt!

Do not!

No! Absolutely not!

They just consummated their marriage last night, and Brother Lin Mo is now Xia Man'er's man, her husband.

If Brother Lin Mo dies...

Then she...

Doesn't that mean she's become a widow after just one day as a "bride"?

How can this be!

She doesn't want to be a widow!

"No!"

Xia Man'er screamed, startling Wen Ruo.

The next second, she turned around and rushed out of the yard like a wild horse.

He ran while shouting at the top of his lungs, using all his strength.

"Peach! Little Peach! You brat, get up right now!"

"Quick! Prepare horses for me! Prepare the best horses! We need to go to Blackwater Pass to rescue our husbands—!"

Xia Man'er's clear and loud voice echoed throughout half of the city lord's mansion.

Wenruo, who was preparing to continue building up the atmosphere of fear, froze on the spot when she heard the earth-shattering words "Save my husband".

The food box in his hand fell to the ground with a "thud," scattering scalding hot lotus root starch and glistening shrimp dumplings all over the floor.

He finally realized what was happening.

broken!

It backfired!

He slapped himself hard on the forehead.

Damn!

How could I have forgotten!

This little darling's brain circuits are different from normal people's!

If she knew Lin Mo was in danger, how could she possibly run away? She would only rush to save him!

My damn mouth!

"Princess! Princess, wait! You can't go!"

Wenruo no longer cared about maintaining the demeanor of a chief strategist, and chased after him, lifting his robe as he ran with incredible speed despite his old, cold legs.

"That's a battlefield! It's a place of inferno and danger, Princess!"

"Swords have no eyes! You are of noble birth; if anything were to happen to you, how could this old minister... how could this old minister explain to His Highness?!"

Wenruo was running behind, panting heavily. His old face turned a deep liver color, and he looked like he was about to cough up his lungs.

But Xia Man'er was no longer listening to any of that.

She has only one thought in her mind right now: I can't be a widow! I absolutely can't be a widow!

She ran very fast, her petite figure weaving left and right through the corridor.

He knocked over a pot of precious orchids, knocked over a maid, and disappeared at the end of the courtyard in the blink of an eye.

"Ouch... my back..."

Wenruo chased after him to the corner, leaned against a pillar, and gasped for breath, feeling like he was half dead.

We can't catch up.

We simply can't catch up.

He finally caught his breath and looked at the empty space ahead, his face showing an expression that was even more unsightly than crying.

It’s over.

It's all over.

"Wenruo, Wenruo, you are knowledgeable in astronomy and geography, and understand Qimen Dunjia, but how come... you just don't understand a woman's heart!"

"This little devil is determined to go to that godforsaken place and cause trouble!"

Wenruo was so anxious that he kept stamping his feet, but what could he do?

He was desperate!

He could only lean against the pillar in despair, shaking his head repeatedly in resignation.

Go, go.

What could I do but go along?

Who told him to make a promise to the prince back then, vowing to protect the princess even at the cost of his life?

He Wenruo was always a man of his word.

Thinking of this, he straightened up and tidied his disheveled robes.

That exasperated look vanished, replaced by the composure and decisiveness of the chief strategist of the Southern Frontier.

Wenruo raised her hand and waved it gently at the air behind her.

A figure as agile as a cheetah appeared silently in the shadows behind him, kneeling on one knee.

That was Agerang, the leader of the Baiyue assassins.

Last night, Lin Mo said he would release them, and this morning, all the Baiyue assassins were sent back unharmed.

This made Wenruo admire Lin Mo even more.

"Agrand".

"Your subordinate is here."

"Immediately arrange carriages to take everyone... to Blackwater Pass as well."

Wenruo's voice carried a deep sense of powerlessness.

He paused, then added.

"Pass on my message: from this moment on, everyone must be on high alert. Even if you have to tie her up, make sure she is tied up in a safe place."

"We swear to protect the princess, even at the cost of our lives!"

"yes!"

Agrahn accepted the order, and his figure once again blended into the shadows and disappeared.

Wenruo was left alone in the courtyard again.

He raised his head, looked at the gray sky over Zhenbei City, and let out a long, long sigh.

"Why……"

"Princess, oh Princess..."

"What kind of bewitching potion did that guy surnamed Lin give you that made you so willing to risk your life?"
