"What is this?" Xi'er was shivering from the cold.
She took the box Chu Qianli handed her, unable to tell what it was.
"Go change your clothes first, I'll tell you later. It's so cold!"
A gust of wind blew, and Chu Qianli also shivered.
The autumn night was biting cold.
Xi'er's heart was heavy. "Your Highness, we came out from the bottom of the lake. Where can we find clothes to change into?"
Let alone changing clothes, they didn't even have a single coin on them. Their future livelihood was also a problem.
"Quick, take it and change," Chu Qianli handed her the clothes.
Xi'er was stunned. "This... where did it come from?"
"Of course, I brought it out from the Prince's mansion." She had space in her bracelet, so hiding a few clothes was not difficult.
"But, I didn't see..."
"Hurry up, I need to change too. Stop talking nonsense, I'm freezing to death!"
Chu Qianli took a set for herself and hid behind the bushes to change.
Xi'er dared not think too much. Having dry clothes was a must, and it was indeed very cold.
For at least the next half hour, Xi'er was in a daze.
She soon discovered that the box the Princess had given her would heat up when water was poured into it.
Moreover, the Princess had somehow brought a blanket, and even a quilt.
Spread on the ground, it was warm and comfortable.
The Princess also had two bottles of sweet drinks, which were incredibly delicious.
"It's ready to eat!" Chu Qianli prepared the self-heating pot and placed it in front of Xi'er. "Eat quickly, be careful, it's hot!"
Xi'er still had many questions, like where all these things came from.
She hadn't seen the Princess carrying anything earlier.
However, this strange box of food, emitting a steaming aroma, smelled so good.
Her stomach rumbled, and she forgot all her questions.
"Your Highness, I... I won't be polite."
"Who told you to be polite?"
The mistress and servant sat on the blanket, nestled in the quilt, and ate a satisfying meal.
Xi'er even drank half a bottle of sweet red wine in one go.
Not long after finishing, she fell into a deep sleep.
Chu Qianli covered her with the quilt and sprinkled some sulfur around to keep poisonous snakes and insects away.
Afterward, she also placed some bread and cake beside Xi'er.
Taking one last look at Xi'er, she got up and walked away.
She checked the balance of her Taobao system account. It was less than a thousand yuan.
Although she had earned money last time, she had bought a large amount of medicine from the Taobao pharmacy to treat the patients in Tuo Xi Village.
The money was almost all spent.
Up to now, the system had not given any hints on how to earn money.
However, Chu Hongtao wanted to harm her.
This incident was considered half a success in escaping the scoundrel.
The remaining half would be when she left the imperial city and quickly got away from this place.
It was a pity that her grandfather and maternal grandfather had treated her well. She couldn't see them one last time before leaving.
In the Duke's mansion, everyone except her grandfather was a wolf.
Furthermore, the scoundrel was still there.
She could not return to the Duke's mansion.
She glanced again in the direction of the Marquis's mansion.
Maternal grandfather...
Suddenly, Chu Qianli stopped in her tracks and retreated sharply.
With a few swishing sounds, several hidden weapons fell onto the ground where she had been standing!
No, they were just a few leaves!
This person's internal energy was terrifying!
Chu Qianli looked at the treetop of the large tree not far away, her eyes darkening. "The number one assassin of the Bei Ming Kingdom is indeed formidable. Despite such severe injuries, he can still strike so ruthlessly!"
