Princess Zhao Yang rolled her eyes back, desperately prying at the large hand clasped around her neck. Her little face was turning a purple-green hue, and she was about to be strangled to death.
Unexpectedly, Saknu flung her onto the ground, causing her to fall to the point of a swelling nose, bruised face, and stars in her eyes.
"Cough, cough, cough....."
Finally able to breathe smoothly again, Zhao Yang collapsed on the ground, coughing violently, and taking large gulps of fresh air.
Saknu roared fiercely: "Before I figure out how to deal with you, you’d better not die!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yang shivered, struggled to get up, hugged her shoulders, and staggered towards the exit.
Outside the door, Luo Xue was anxiously waiting. Seeing her come out, especially in such a state, she quickly stepped forward, took off her own clothes, and wrapped Zhao Yang’s body.
"Sister Luo Xue....."
The immense shame finally overwhelmed Zhao Yang, and she fell into Luo Xue’s bosom, crying bitterly.
Fearing that her crying would be heard by Saknu, Luo Xue hurriedly covered her mouth and dragged her back to her room.
"Princess, you have to hang in there. Don’t forget what the Empress told you, and don’t forget that the Empress is still waiting for you!"
"I know... But, Sister Luo Xue, he’s too terrifying, I’m so scared, scared that I won’t be able to fulfill my mother’s entrustment, scared that I won’t make it until then....."
Zhao Yang was crying so hard that she was having difficulty breathing. The tears on her face mixed with the blood from her forehead, making her look utterly pitiful.
"Princess, as long as there are green mountains, we won’t worry about firewood. As long as we’re alive, there’s always a way!"
Luo Xue helped her wash her face with water, found medication for bruises from her bundle, carefully applied it on her, and even gave her two boiled eggs which she claimed to have bought at a high price from the shopkeeper.
Zhao Yang was starving, and upon seeing the eggs, she reflexively stopped crying and wolfed them down.....
Princess Zhao Yang had made a huge mistake, and all the palace maids and eunuchs close to her were ordered by the Emperor to be executed. Therefore, when the order for the marriage alliance was issued, no one in the palace was willing to accompany her to Liaodan. Only Luo Xue took the initiative to serve Princess Zhao Yang.
For this, Empress Mo was deeply moved. The way to Liaodan was fraught with danger. Empress Mo, being a princess pampered in a greenhouse, knew nothing of the hearts of men. How could she make it without reliable and competent help by her side?
Fortunately, Luo Xue was loyal and knew Empress Mo’s worries. She volunteered to serve Princess Zhao Yang. With responsible and experienced Luo Xue by her side, Empress Mo was at ease.
Before leaving, Empress Mo asked Zhao Yang to take Luo Xue as her sister, and considered Luo Xue as her own daughter. She also secretly gave Luo Xue a lot of her personal savings, fearing they might suffer outside.
Luo Xue didn’t care about the hardships she had to endure following Zhao Yang, or about the wealth given by the Empress. What she cared about was what would happen when Zhao Yang was rescued and sent to King Qin, where she would stay and wait for the opportunity to return to the capital.
For that, she would definitely do her best to keep her safe and wait to go to King Qin with her.
Mu Caiwei has already been eaten by a tiger, and it’s useless for King Qin to like her anymore. Learning that the woman he loved was eaten by a tiger, he must be in a lot of pain. She could go to comfort him, to help relieve his sorrow...
