Chapter 768: The Prince Is Well (17)

“I don’t have that much money.”

Miss Xue: “…”

Why are you so proud of that!

What gave you the confidence!

Fine, she was in her hands now, and she could be proud of having no money.Ming Shu pulled out a bag out of nowhere and stuffed it into Miss Xue’s hands. “Here you are, that’s all I’ve got.”

Miss Xue took the heavy bag and opened it. There was gold, bank notes, as well as some jewelry inside.

“My guest, can you release me now?” Miss Xue negotiated with Ming Shu.

“What if you take my money and run? I am very poor.” Ming Shu didn’t move.

“…”

Miss Xue pondered for a while, then gave the map to Ming Shu. “There’re a total of twelve pieces of this treasure map, it’s just one of them, so actually it’s useless to have.”

“It’s useless but you sold it for fifty thousand!” What a profiteer.

“…I’m going to fall!” Miss Xue grabbed the branch next to her.

Ming Shu pulled her back.Miss Xue patted her own chest. “Fifty thousand is worth fifty thousand, of course. Do you know what this treasure map is?”

Ming Shu shook the map. “What could a treasure map be, isn’t it just treasure?”

Miss Xue rolled her eyes again. “Have you heard of the story of an emperor who sought eternal life a long time ago?”

“Eternal life?” It’s this kind of cliched plotline again. Ming Shu chuckled after a moment. “What’s good about having an eternal life?”

“Don’t you want to be immortal? People live, aging and getting sick, and die in this world, how painful is that. If one could achieve eternal life, who doesn’t want to try?”

“Since it’s so good, why don’t you Yunxi Pavilion people seek it for yourselves?” Ming Shu raised her eyebrows.

“Yunxi Pavilion only does business,” Miss Xue only responded with that. “Can you let go of me first?”

Ming Shu’s hand was a little sore, so she threw away the branch.

Miss Xue watched the branch fall down to the ground and twitched her mouth corners. She couldn’t even fly, but why did it feel like she could take her life at any minute with that branch just now? “Rumors said that the emperor at that time found a way to live forever, but strange things began to happen as he discovered it. The emperor looked younger and younger, but strange things also happened more and more often. The emperor had nightmares and occasionally shouted in his dreams.

“The emperor was frightened, so he stopped and ordered people to bury this method of eternal life. But the emperor was not reconciled, and ordered to draw the map.

“The emperor was afraid that anyone who knew this would also want to live forever, so he divided the map into twelve pieces kept by different people.”

Miss Xue pointed at the map in Ming Shu’s hand with her chin. “That’s one of them. This legend has always existed, and there are many emperors in history who wanted to find it, but no one succeeded.”

Twelve pieces… When will I get them all?

Perhaps some have been lost forever.

Isn’t it there no plotline for the hidden task?

But wait…

The Harmony System didn’t say I need to find the treasure! My mission is Hatred Points… Ming Shu looked at the map in her hand and suddenly revealed a bright smile.

Miss Xue: “…” Why is she smiling so slyly?

–

Song Yunjiao was kidnapped to cure someone’s disease.

The kidnapper was the prince of the state next to Baiqi Country, who was also a secondary male protagonist.

Song Yunjiao’s system not only helped her win the male protagonist’s affection, but also the secondary male protagonist’s. So in the past Song Yunjiao saved this prince.

She was not a real doctor. She had exchanged for medicine from the system, and the effects were great.

This time, when the prince was seriously wounded and dying, his subordinates thought of Song Yunjiao, the miracle-working doctor.

So they kidnapped her.

Song Yunjiao was glad that she had saved some points, which could be exchanged for medicine. She mixed the medicine into the soup for the prince to drink. Within a day, his royal highness was out of danger.

Miss Xue had left.

Ming Shu waited alone outside the courtyard. But not all day, she also went back to the city to buy snacks.

She checked on Ji Xun as well. As long as she was gone, Ji Xun would turn the whole mansion upside down. But Ming Shu really didn’t want to bring him, so she coaxed him.

At first Ji Xun didn’t listen to her at all, then Ming Shu threatened him several times, and he gradually became quiet. He locked himself in the study room with a stack of rice papers angrily.

Ming Shu didn’t know whether Ji Xun was a real fool or just pretending…

Ming Shu left the mansion and was about to leave the city to get her snacks coupon.

Without walking far, she saw Prince Six come out of his mansion with many people in a hurry.

“Your Highness.” Ming Shu waved a hand to him.

The latter looked over indifferently.

When he was out, Prince Six put away his overwhelming presence, and except for the indifference on his face, he was just like a normal person.

Ming Shu offered a full smile. “Are you looking for your wife?”

“Princess Consort, do you know where the imperial concubine is?” one of the guards next to Prince Six asked Ming Shu for his lord.

“Yes,” Ming Shu answered with smiling eyes. “Do you want to know, Your Highness? I can lead you to catch them in bed.”

–

In the carriage…

Prince Six sat in the back, while Ming Shu sat on the left and was eating the tomatoes on sticks with her legs crossed, knee jiggling. She was totally unrelated to what a lady should look like.

“You look very different from before.”

“How many times have you met me, Your Highness?” Ming Shu glanced at Prince Six.

“One time.”

“Then how do you know I’m very different from before? Did you admire me in secret?”

“…”

Ming Shu leaned against the carriage’s inner wall and looked at him with a superior smile. “You can’t judge a person from the surface. Just like you, Your Highness, you need to pretend to be a cripple every day, that is…”

Ming Shu looked at the sword in front of her nose, and smiled. “Your Highness, you’ll regret it if you kill me.”

The sentence may have worked, or maybe it was that Prince Six wanted to figure out Ming Shu’s purpose, because he didn’t kill her right away.

“Who on earth are you?” How did she know he was well in health.

“I’m the Yi’an Mansion’s princess consort.”

Prince Six remained silent.

The atmosphere became tense in the carriage.

Ming Shu didn’t seem to notice that, though. She finished the tomatoes slowly.

Then she suddenly leaned over and had the tip of the sword against her chest. She smiled again. “Your Highness, do you want to rebel?”

The imposing manner around Prince Six poured out all of a sudden, and even the people outside the carriage felt it.

“Why do you behave so fiercely?” Ming Shu leaned back a little and touched the tip of the sword with her fingers, then pushed it aside. “I’ll help you take the throne, but I have a condition.”

Ming Shu’s attitude was very casual, but Prince Six seemed so nervous, which put him in a disadvantageous position.

He frowned and put away the sword.

“Do you know what you’re talking about?”

“Right, the word rebel is kind of inappropriate here.” Ming Shu reflected on herself. “It should be ‘inherit the throne.’”

“…”

Prince Six took a close look at Ming Shu. Qin Wu’s character had become vague in his memory, but he didn’t think that person was like this.

“Princess Consort, what qualifications do you think you have to negotiate with me?”

“I have beauty and talent.”

“…”

Prince Six was silent for some time. “What’s your condition?”

“Simple. Divorce your wife Song Yunjiao,” Ming Shu answered.

Prince Six squinted his eyes. “Won’t you want me to divorce her and then marry you after ascending the throne?”

Ming Shu looked at him gloomily.

Prince Six thought he analyzed it right. A woman asked him to divorce his imperial concubine, wasn’t it because she wanted to marry him?But what’s that look on her face?
