A middle-aged emperor, childless, was blessed with a beautiful and pregnant concubine who entered th

If anything were to happen to the stunningly beautiful Consort Zhou under his care, he wouldn't have enough lives to pay for it!

The bodyguard quickly contacted his companion through special means.

……

After being given a sweating drug, Mingyi was immediately covered with a burlap sack.

While being carried on someone's shoulders, she was still communicating with the system.

"Host, tomorrow Emperor Qianwu's men will send someone to fetch you to the palace. If you don't want to be kidnapped by Princess Chaoyang's people, this system can make an exception and help you this once."

Mingyi curled her lips and refused outright.

"No need, proceed according to the original plan."

Who will cherish something that comes too easily?

Princess Chaoyang jumped into the script she had prepared so easily; she was quite perceptive.

It was worth it for her to ask Emperor Qianwu for three days.

These three days were supposedly for saying goodbye to his elder brother.

How long does it actually take to say goodbye to someone?

No matter how deep her feelings for her brother were, since they were destined to part ways, three days or half a day made little difference.

And then there's the matter of her going to the Cen family to break off the engagement. Once she enters the palace and is made a Jieyu, will the Cen family still dare to compete with Emperor Qianwu for her?

The Cen family had no choice but to accept it reluctantly.

But she insisted on choosing a special time to go to the Cen family to break off the engagement, and she wanted Cen Shaoyuan to see her face and become as infatuated with her as he had been in his previous life.

She had planned all of this long ago.

In her past life, she offered herself up as fish and meat.

Although it is delicious, it has a greater use beyond just "eating" it yourself.

The Cen family is using her to advance their careers.

In this life, she is the "bait" that comes to her willingly.

She will become the white moonlight that Cen Shaoyuan longed for but could not have, the crimson mole in his heart.

When Cen Shaoyuan learned that she had broken off her engagement with him and become Emperor Qianwu's woman.

How interesting it would be if Madam Cen knew that she had become a noble person they dared not offend.

These three days were not only a time she specifically set aside to say goodbye to her brother and to annul her engagement with the Cen family.

It was also left by her for Princess Chaoyang and Consort Chen.

She wanted Princess Chaoyang to become an obstacle to her entering the palace.

On one side is a beautiful woman who is readily available and charming, and on the other side is a spoiled, willful, vicious, and domineering biological daughter.

What choice will Emperor Qianwu make?

What could be more regrettable than something so easily obtained, only to be suddenly lost?

Moreover, she was just a delicate, beautiful, and innocent woman.

……

The person carrying Mingyi walked very steadily, and Mingyi hardly felt any bumps, clearly indicating that this person was highly skilled in martial arts.

Mingyi even suspected that this person might also be Emperor Qianwu's secret guard.

Princess Chaoyang was Emperor Qianwu's only child, so it was understandable that she had Emperor Qianwu's secret guards at her beck and call.

That would be even more interesting.

When Emperor Qianwu's men discovered she was missing, it turned out that he himself had assigned the task to Princess Chaoyang's secret guards.

Mingyi almost didn't recognize him and burst out laughing.

However, it's unclear where that wicked little princess plans to take her...

After an unknown amount of time, the man suddenly stopped, and Mingyi felt herself being put into a carriage.

And they could faintly hear the direction of "Qingzhou".

Qingzhou is located north of the capital. It is a remote and barren area, close to the border, and has a cold climate.

The people suffered greatly from the frequent harassment and looting by herders.

This little princess was even more wicked than she had imagined.

She was a delicate and beautiful woman, yet they sent her towards Qingzhou.

This is completely designed to leave her with no way out.

However, this coincided with her initial idea.

As a woman, this little princess naturally understood the importance of a woman's innocence and reputation.

She was Emperor Qianwu's only daughter, and she was willing to give up her reputation and innocence.

No one dared to criticize her.

But others are different.

If she were "tainted," even if she were exceptionally beautiful, Emperor Qianwu, as the ruler of the world, would certainly not want her anymore.

Naturally, it's a one-time solution.

Therefore, Mingyi had thought of it from the very beginning.

It was nothing more than Qingzhou, Yongzhou, Youzhou, or Liangzhou, etc.

……

The carriage traveled quickly, but after a day, it slowed down.

Mingyi could even hear the drivers talking.

"It is said that the woman in the carriage is a beauty who is about to enter the palace, but somehow she has offended the nobleman's eyes."

"The nobleman wants to send her to the barren land of Qingzhou."

Another said, "Instead of going to Qingzhou and letting those scoundrels benefit, why don't we brothers have some fun first?"

The two, without prior consultation, became increasingly unrestrained and even lewd in their conversation.

The carriage also stopped.

A hand reached in.

"Young lady, we still have some time before we reach our destination. Why don't we stop and rest for a bit, and have something to eat..."

"Hey there, young lady, aren't you bored being all alone in the carriage?"

"Want your brother to keep you company and have some fun?"

Mingyi pretended not to hear.

One of the drivers said, "Could it be that the drug hasn't worn off yet, and the person hasn't woken up?"

"That's so boring!"

"Wake her up!"

Mingyi took the opportunity to wake up.

She opened her eyes, and when their eyes met, the coachman was stunned.

"Li Er, are you done yet? I told you to bring the person down, why didn't you...?"

Another coachman lifted the carriage curtain and was stunned when he saw Mingyi's face.

"My goodness! Such a heavenly beauty, and they're willing to send her to a place like Qingzhou?"

The two drivers exchanged a glance, both seeing fervor in each other's eyes.

Mingyi trembled with fear, tears instantly welling in her eyes, but she forced herself to remain calm, clutching her clothes tightly. "Who...who are you?"

"Where am I?"

The two rickshaw pullers suddenly realized what was happening.

One of them said, "My beauty, you've offended a noblewoman in the palace, and someone has offered you to us."

Another said, "The nobles in the palace asked us to take you to Qingzhou and throw you into the military camp to be a prostitute. We brothers felt sorry for you."

"How about this: if you're willing to be our brother's wife, we'll definitely treat you well!"

The coachman, who was called "Li Er," was stunned.

Good heavens! You can do that?

But who would be willing to send such a beautiful woman to the military camp to be a prostitute?

It would be better to let those brothers benefit.

Anyway, she has offended a noble person in the palace, so she will definitely not be able to return to the capital.

Even if we went back, it would be a dead end.

He quickly replied, "My brother is right."

"My beauty, have you thought this through? Will you be our wife, or will you go to Qingzhou to become a military prostitute?"

Mingyi looked shocked, as if she couldn't accept this fact.

Whether she was forced into prostitution or became the woman of these two uncouth coachmen, it was an insult to her.

"How dare you! I am His Majesty's man!"

"My elder brother is a compiler in the Hanlin Academy; there must be some misunderstanding!"

Mingyi's voice was soft and sweet, her eyes were slightly lowered, but there was a hint of ruthlessness hidden in them. She quickly pulled a hairpin from her hair and hid it in her sleeve.

Both of them were taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"What misunderstanding? Once you're in our carriage, even His Majesty's princess has to listen to us!"

"That's right! Beautiful lady, we brothers want to give you a home, so don't be ungrateful!"

Mingyi seemed to have been hit hard, and her whole body suddenly became listless.

Just as Li Er took the opportunity to reach out and grab her, she swiftly plunging the hairpin into his throat.

It can kill instantly upon contact with blood.

"puff"!

Mingyi pulled out the hairpin, and Li Er cried out in surprise, instinctively covering his throat and backing away, tumbling off the carriage.

The other coachman hurriedly backed away, and Mingyi took the opportunity to jump down from the horse window.

Just then, a startling sound of horses' hooves rang out from not far away.
