I just want to live a good life

Chapter 545 Finally met

The carriage soon arrived at the city gate, and the people in the carriage became nervous at the same time.

Danggui was also nervous and stared at Su Nuan closely, fearing that she would make any unusual movements.

Liao Xinyi was also nervous, tightly clutching a packet of medicine powder in one hand.

Su Nuan saw the expressions of both of them. In fact, she really wanted to shout for help, but the dagger in Danggui's hand was against her stomach. As long as she opened her mouth to cry for help, there would definitely be a hole in her stomach.

Because of Xia Wenzhuo's disappearance, the guards at the city gates were very strict in checking people coming and going, and the carriage had to wait in line for a while before being questioned.

Seeing that Angelica was a child, the guards checked him more strictly than others.

However, the interrogation only asked questions like where they were coming from and where they were going. Liao Xinyi was well prepared and responded appropriately without any loopholes.

The carriage left the city smoothly. This scene suddenly reminded Su Nuan of the time when she was abducted out of the city by Zhao Zong and others.

She looked at Liao Xinyi and said, "You must be the second child, right?"

Liao Xinyi said "hmm" lightly.

"So, you were the one who planned to make me fall off the horse in Xiaomian Town?"

Liao Xinyi didn't deny it, which meant she accepted it.

Su Nuan sighed softly. After traveling here, she only made a friend like Liao Xinyi. She didn't expect that this was deliberately planned by her. She couldn't help but say softly, "I really think of you as a friend."

Liao Xinyi opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end all that came out was a soft sigh.

Seeing her like this, Su Nuan felt relieved and continued to ask, "Do you also call him Master?"

"Just ask whatever you want to ask."

"Who is he?"

Su Nuan didn't beat around the bush and directly asked the question that she wanted to ask most.

"You'll find out soon."

"You mean we should go see him now?"

"Ah."

Su Nuan suddenly became excited. She had been trying to find out the identity of the "master" behind the scenes from Ye Xiaobai for a long time, but she had never succeeded. This matter was almost becoming a demon in her heart.

When he thought about meeting this mysterious "master" soon, his resentment towards Liao Xinyi disappeared by half.

"Is he a boy or a girl?"

Liao Xinyi frowned and said nothing.

"Old or young?"

"Do I recognize him?"

Liao Xinyi was getting a bit impatient from the string of questions. "We'll be meeting soon, why are you so anxious? You'd better think about how to escape from him later."

"Will you help me?"

Su Nuan asked with a smile.

Liao Xinyi said nothing, turned her head to the side, and ignored Su Nuan.

Su Nuan threw the same question to Danggui, and Danggui also imitated Liao Xinyi and turned away from Su Nuan.

No one was looking at her, and Su Nuan suppressed the excitement on her face and frowned.

She naturally didn't think that the big boss behind the scenes just wanted to see her. Liao Xinyi was the most successful and secretive chess piece he had placed next to her, and now she was so naked in front of her, which meant that the other party had left her no way out in this meeting.

I guess it won’t be so easy to get away this time.

Su Nuan stopped talking during the rest of the journey. She just looked at the scenery outside seriously and thought about her own things.

The carriage traveled for about another hour and finally stopped in front of a thatched hut.

It was hard to imagine that the big boss behind the scenes would live in such a place. Su Nuan was very surprised when she got off the carriage.

She didn't rush in, but looked around the thatched house carefully first.

It's just like any ordinary farmer's thatched hut, nothing special.

"Go in, the master is waiting for you."

Liao Xinyi stood at the door and motioned Su Nuan to come in.

Seeing that the other party had no intention of going in, Su Nuan asked in surprise: "Aren't you going in?"

"The master only sees you."

Su Nuan hesitated for a moment, then pushed the door open and stepped inside.

The light in the thatched house was a little dim, but the furnishings were simple and you could see the whole house at a glance.

Su Nuan let her eyes adjust to the light and her gaze fell on a woman.

The woman was boiling medicine with her back to her, and the smell of medicine in the room seemed familiar to Su Nuan.

Perhaps she heard the movement behind her, the woman slowly turned around and met Su Nuan's gaze.

"Concubine Xia, we finally meet."

The woman looked to be in her forties, with an outstanding face. She was obviously a beauty when she was young.

"Who are you?" Su Nuan asked.

A hint of mockery flashed in the woman's eyes. "The Crown Prince of Nanzhao Kingdom is actually bewitched by a woman like you. It seems that the fate of Nanzhao Kingdom is almost over."

Su Nuan was stunned. This woman was probably ill. She asked who she was and what this had to do with the fate of the Nanzhao Kingdom. Was the prince obsessed with her?

This question turned around in my mind twice and was forced out. Now is not the time to think about this.

Su Nuan looked at the woman again. Putting aside her appearance, she had elegant and dignified manners, and exuded nobility in her bones. However, she was quite different from the noble ladies in the imperial city. There seemed to be something extra about her, but she couldn't tell what it was.

Just when Su Nuan met the woman's gaze again, a light bulb went off in her head. Yes, she felt that she had seen this woman's eyes somewhere before. Now she finally remembered that this was the kind of arrogant and condescending look that only people in high positions had. She had seen it in the emperor, Mu Yunting, and the eldest princess.

Thinking that this woman's identity was not ordinary, and considering the disdain in her tone when she just mentioned the Nanzhao Kingdom, Su Nuan suddenly thought of someone - Xiao Qionghua, the princess of the previous dynasty of Fanli and the last saint of Fanli.

But could this person really be her? If it was her, it would explain many things, such as the identities of Zhao Zong and the others, and Liao Xinyi's ability to cure the frost poison.

Seeing Su Nuan frowning and saying nothing, the woman turned around and took out a bowl of medicine from the small pot, handed it to Su Nuan, and ordered: "Drink it."

Su Nuan naturally wouldn't drink it. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Since you are Liao Xinyi's master, you should know that I am pregnant. I won't drink this bowl of medicine whose efficacy I don't know."

The woman sneered and said, "Don't worry, the child in your belly is more precious than you. I won't harm him. This bowl of medicine will only benefit you, not harm you."

In this situation, even if the woman said something fancy, Su Nuan would not believe it. After thinking for a moment, she asked, "Do you want to use him to threaten the prince?"

"You're not that stupid. Since you know I'm going to use him, just drink the medicine obediently."

If she drank it, she would be completely stupid. The woman's eyes were filled with malice when she mentioned the child. Even if she wanted to use the child, she wouldn't kill him. Who knows if the medicine would harm the child's body and give birth to a fool? Others wouldn't notice it for a while. She could still use the child to threaten Mu Yunting, return the child after threatening him, and she could get away with it. Then she would wait for the child's parents to find out that the child was a fool, and then she would reap another wave of heartbreak.

Thinking of this, Su Nuan knocked the medicine bowl in front of him down, then met the woman's angry eyes and shouted, "Don't try to trick me. You brought me here and you still say it's good for me. Do you believe it? Either kill me now or don't give me any more medicine. If you force me to take medicine again, the worst that can happen is that we both die."
