This new type of weapon is an incredibly tempting existence for ancient people who only possess Swordsmanship, especially for ambitious rulers like Jin Wang. Although she does not care about the lives and deaths of others, this concerns the lives of thousands; it is war, not simply a matter of a few lives. Therefore, she only seeks self-preservation and will not use it unless absolutely necessary.
Being delayed by Mu Fengyan, it was already afternoon. Since the efforts of the past month finally showed promise, Yin Luo's mood inevitably improved.
The iron chains on her feet had been reattached. She glanced down and found it somewhat amusing.
Mu Changqing used very ordinary locks that were easy to open. Her previous job was unique; a moment's carelessness could cost her life. Thus, she had practiced countless scenarios of being captured, including being locked in airtight rooms where the only way out was to break free from ropes and unlock the door herself.
So, opening such a simple lock was naturally not a problem.
After taking a nap, Yin Luo got up in the afternoon and specifically asked Su Yi to inquire about Mu Fengyan. She learned that Mu Fengyan indeed came to the residence today, but she did not know when he left because when Prince sent someone to find him, they learned he was already at the Palace.
It seems that although Mu Fengyan's thoughts are simple, he is quite clever in his actions.
Only then did Yin Luo completely relax.
Another month passed, and the weather had indeed turned cold. After two months of self-cultivation, Yin Luo had transitioned from feeling lost and unadapted in this foreign world to being more settled in her current situation.
From initially trying every means to resist to now conserving her strength, her temperament had undergone a tremendous change. The only thing that remained unchanged was the long-hidden potential waiting to be unleashed!
Another half month passed, and unexpectedly for Yin Luo, Mu Changqing did not release her; instead, the Empress Dowager issued a decree summoning her to the palace.
What she thought would be an ordinary meeting turned out to be a gathering of numerous consorts and even royal wives. It was then that she realized she had been living in ignorance within the Jin Wangfu, while outside, rumors about her had already spread in all directions. Some said she was beautiful and had won the favor of Jin Wang, which was why she was allowed to live; others claimed she was actually hideous, as ugly as Jin Wang himself, which explained why she had broken records by surviving until now. There were even more absurd versions that suggested she was not human at all, but rather possessed by a spirit after her death, having absorbed Jin Wang's soul, which was why Jin Wang made an exception to spare her life and even doted on her.
Despite Yin Luo's cold demeanor, she couldn't help but feel amused and bewildered by such rumors.
Thus, on the day she left the residence, the entire Capital City was packed with onlookers lining the streets leading to the Palace.
With the Eastern Hunt approaching, it was heard that Mu Changqing had been busy preparing for it. On the day she entered the palace, Mu Changqing did not accompany her but sent the guard He Ren to escort her.
However, there were simply too many people. As the convoy entered the narrow West Daokou Street, suddenly two wild horses charged in from somewhere and barreled straight into the convoy. He Ren reacted quickly, stopping the carriage and jumping onto one of the horses' backs, managing to regain control. But the other horse could not be stopped; it charged directly toward the carriage. He was taken aback and realized it was too late to intervene!
Yin Luo and Su Yi were sitting inside the carriage. Su Yi screamed in fright as she saw the horse racing toward them, while Yin Luo had already lifted the curtain of the carriage, ready to jump out with Su Yi if the wild horse truly leaped at them.
Just as the horse's front hooves flew up, suddenly a figure descended from above and landed steadily on its back. The person wore white robes and appeared handsome, adorned in a brocade robe and jade belt, moving gracefully like an immortal. Just from that silhouette alone, Yin Luo could hear intense discussions erupting from the crowd nearby, while Su Yi gasped in surprise: "Eleventh Master?"
