Chapter 5: Beijing, she will come back!

The next morning, Lin Xiaoyue was awakened by the sound of footsteps in the prison. Maybe she felt insecure when she came to this strange world, so she even had a light sleep.

She sat up and looked outside. It turned out that the prison head came in with a wooden barrel, so she walked over and said hello, "Thank you, Brother, I've delivered food to me so early."

The prison head looked at her, put down the wooden barrel and said, "The boss has spoken, you have breakfast and you can go on the road."

Lin Xiaoyue didn't expect the dog emperor to exile her so anxiously, and asked in surprise: "Didn't it mean that something happened in the palace? Is it all right now? Has the queen been rescued?"

The prison head took some silver from Lin Xiaoyue yesterday, and his mouth was quite loose. He nodded and said, "The Empress followed Duke Zhen out of the palace yesterday. Oh, no, I can no longer call Duke Zhen now! The Duke Zhen’s mansion has been circulated, and they are now temporarily living in the eldest prince's villa."

"That's right. Thank you for taking care of me in the past two days. I can live in such a clean cell. Thank you for eating such a white steamed bun." Lin Xiaoyue nodded with a smile, but she was thinking in her heart that the Emperor's family has always been ruthless, but almost everyone wants to sit on that dragon throne!

The reason why the dog emperor did not take the life of the Duke Zhen’s family was probably because he was considering the face of the eldest prince and the royal family.

But a family of maternal ancestors who have no money and power is equivalent to a waste to the eldest prince. It is estimated that they will be driven away by the eldest prince if they find reasons to stay for a long time.

In short, the chances of the eldest prince succeeding in fighting for the throne are slim, but the dog emperor now wants to marry a new queen, so the second prince has no hope of being appointed as a crown prince. After all, this is the biggest bargaining chip for the dog emperor to catch big fish.

As long as the position of the prince is still hanging in the air, all forces will be ready to take a try, so that the dog emperor will benefit! But the unstable court is not good for Dongsui Kingdom!

Because Lin Xiaoyue was thinking about things, she ate very slowly, but the prisoner was so furious that she was flattered by Lin Xiaoyue just now, so she was quite patient.

After Lin Xiaoyue finished eating, he took back the dishes and before leaving, he reminded him: "Girl, call me big brother, I'll call you sister too. Northland is a place where people can eat, I think you are smart, so be smart in everything."

Lin Xiaoyue didn't expect that the prison chief was quite conscientious. She quickly stuffed another ingot of silver to the prison chief and asked, "Brother, then tell me what the Northland is like?"

The prisoner looked outside and whispered: "The capital is about ten days away from the northern border. If ten people go there, almost half of them will die on the road. Even if you arrive in the northern border, you are as beautiful as you, and if you are lucky, you will be taken to serve the general. If the general doesn't want you, you will be taken to warm the bed for others."

"And it's already snowing in the northern part now, and the cold weather is cold and I can't find food. You can't escape even if you want to escape! So when you get there, you either obey. If you want to die, just die, otherwise you will be tortured and you will be worse than death."

Lin Xiaoyue was shocked by the prison chief's words. As expected, she thought it was simple. She thought that exile was just to go to work hard work. Unexpectedly, the dog emperor wanted her to be tortured to death. It was so vicious!

She took a deep breath and smiled gratefully, "Thank you for your reminder, I will remember it in my heart!"

At this time, the yamen runner who had been escorted before walked in with a chain and said to the prison head: "Open the door, we are here to bring people."

"Okay, okay, I'll open the door." The prison head took out the key and walked over to open the door.

Lin Xiaoyue felt scared when she looked at the iron chain in the yamen runner's hand. She had worn her hands and feet hurt after walking yesterday. If she reached the north, she would be afraid that her hands and feet would be broken!

She frowned and said, "Two brothers, can you not tie chains for me? I promise not to escape!"

The yamen runner scolded viciously: "You think you are the empress in the palace! Do you still have to get you a sedan chair?"

Lin Xiaoyue knew that the dog that had always bite people would not bark. She stretched out her wrist that had been worn out by the iron chain before and said, "Look! The emperor wants me to go to the northern border to exile. If I was dragged to death by this iron chain, how could you come back to pay the job?"

"You should also know that I was the most beloved Empress in the palace in the past. If the Empress hadn't framed me, the Emperor wouldn't have exiled me! But now the Empress has also been demoted. You said, if the Emperor changes his mind halfway, are you planning to hand over a living or a dead person?"

The yamen runners were blocked by Lin Xiaoyue's righteous aura and couldn't open their mouths for a while. It was the first time they were exiled to the palace, and the superiors didn't tell them how to do things, but what this woman seemed to be quite reasonable. What the emperor thought about was this woman, wouldn't they send anyone back?

This emperor's woman must not be underestimated. If you blow the pillow wind, your whole family may be destroyed!

But how could anyone exile without a chain? If the superiors find out, they will be lightly scolded and may lose their jobs!

Just as the two yamen runners were hesitating, Lin Xiaoyue took out two bags of silver and stuffed them into their hands, and said with a smile: "Don't you understand yet? The emperor didn't let me exile on empty hand!"

The two yamen runners instantly became happy and secretly opened a crack in their money bag, revealing a golden light. They may not be able to make so much money in their lifetime!

Are they really OK?

But Lin Xiaoyue did not give them a way out for the rest of the words. She leaned in front of them and whispered: "If I could live to the North, each of you would get another bag!"

The two yamen runners did not hesitate anymore, happily stuffed their money bags into their arms, and said politely: "Please, girl! If you have any instructions on the road, please tell me casually, we will take good care of you."

Lin Xiaoyue snorted coldly, it turns out that money can make the devil push the mill!

She strode out of the prison with her bags on her back. When the other exiled people saw Lin Xiaoyue coming out cleanly without a chain tied up, they all showed envious and jealous eyes on their faces.

Lin Xiaoyue saw them in a dirt and sighed for a while. She didn't know who these people had offended? But just now she just shocked the two yamen runners with a fake power. What if they came to their senses and wanted to tie a chain for her again?

Alas, let’s just sweep the snow in front of the door!

"Give me some peace! If anyone dares to escape halfway, he will be beaten to death on the spot! Come with me!"

A fat yamen runner waved his whip and showed his mighty warning, and walked out with unrecognizable steps.

When she walked out of the city gate of the capital, Lin Xiaoyue turned around and looked at the tall and majestic city gate. This place with a lot of money is the most expensive place, and she was really reluctant to let it go.

She touched her head and made a very important decision.

I will come back in Beijing - when I have no money!

The next journey was quite smooth. The two yamen runners did not make it difficult for Lin Xiaoyue because of the two packs of bulging silver in their arms. They could chat a few times on the road occasionally, but it was really boring to just walk along the way.

During the chat, Lin Xiaoyue learned that the fat yamen runner who was just talking was Jiang Bai and the thin yamen runner who was named He Yuan. This was their last exile this year. When they arrived in the northern border, they would return to report immediately, because it would be difficult to leave on the road after it snowed in winter.

Then before dark today, I had to climb over the mountain next to Yangming Town, because it was often haunted at night and few people went there during the day. But they had to pass by this mountain when they went to the north, otherwise they would have to take a longer journey.

Lin Xiaoyue couldn't help but squint her eyes. Is it haunted? That's interesting...
