In the end, Xin'er still couldn't bear her young lady's request, and the two of them went to the forest outside the town, and the forest didn't seem to be dense, so Mu Qingcai said that there were no beasts in it.

But Xin'er has always been bold, and now he is still a little apprehensive, and the expression on his face is not very good.

"Niangniang, why don't we go back, what if something really happens?"

Xin'er persuaded a few more words, and Mu Qing seemed a little impatient.

"Xin'er, if you're afraid, I'll just come alone, you don't have to follow me, I've seen in a book before, there are many things in this wild that seem inedible, in fact, if you cook them well, cook them, they can be turned into delicacies, if you find them, you must be able to help the people in these towns."

Bai Lichen still has some conscience in the end, at least the dry food that Mu Qing originally carried, Bai Lichen didn't take it away, and left it to Mu Qing.

But Mu Qing knew that even if she didn't need any of these little foods, it was still not enough to give them to the people in the town, so she still had to find out if there was anything to eat in the forest.

Fortunately, when she was in modern times, she participated in a wilderness survival show with her sister who was in charge of makeup, so she learned about this knowledge, and now it comes in handy.

Mu Qing was still looking intently at the bushes outside, not noticing that the heart behind her hadn't spoken for a long time, until she noticed the sound of someone approaching behind her, and then she came back to her senses.

"Xin'er, look at this leaf, this is called bracken leaf, if cooked well, it is not poisonous, you can eat it......"

Before she could finish speaking, she was caught in a sack, and after some struggle, she was knocked unconscious.

By the time Mu Qing woke up again, it was already the next day, her head hurt very much, her eyes were a little unclear, and it took a long time to see the scenery in front of her.

It was a firewood-like place, but it was empty at the moment, and only a few pieces of wood that had not been picked up were left on the ground, which was desolate.

"Heart, heart."

After screaming a few times, the heart around me woke up slowly.

"It's okay, Xin'er."

Xin'er looked around, and after understanding the situation of herself and Miss, the beads of sweat on her face fell suddenly.

"Niangniang, where is this, have we been kidnapped!"

She wanted to know where it was, could it be that the townspeople had kidnapped them because they looked dressed like the ladies and maids of a large family?

This is not uncommon in arid places.

"I shouldn't have helped these people in the first place, but I didn't expect kindness to be a donkey's liver and lungs."

I finally found edible grass blades in the forest, but I didn't expect these people to be so rude to me, and I didn't know what the purpose was, but Mu Qing felt a little guilty in his heart, and felt that he was tired.

If she hadn't insisted on staying here, Xin'er wouldn't have been kidnapped by now.

"I'm sorry Xin'er, but I bothered you."

"What did Niangniang say, it is the responsibility of the slave to take care of the Niangniang, and it is the bad heart of the Niangniang who harms the Niangniang to encounter danger."

While the master and servant were talking, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside, and then a little light came through the dim room, and it turned out that the door had been opened.

"The two girls are from the Third Highness?"

The person who came was an old man who looked sixty or seventy years old, and his appearance was kind, but the clothes on his body were wrinkled, and his face was very sallow, and he looked like he hadn't eaten enough for several days.

"Who are you, you dare to kidnap our mother, do you want to call the emperor the nine clans!"

For the sake of Mu Qing's safety, Xin'er simply revealed the identities of the two people, but the old man's face flashed with a little joy.

"This can be regarded as catching the right person, it is really the concubine of the third prince, I have long heard that the third prince loves this concubine very much, presumably if you are in our hands, the third prince will definitely come."

Originally, Mu Qing thought that the person who kidnapped him must be the people of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Queen, but he didn't expect to know that the person who kidnapped her was the mayor of this town, in order to use her to make Bailichen turn back, so as to get food from Bailichen's hands that could supply the entire town.

"His Royal Highness the Third Prince will not come back for me, you guys should die, if he really takes care of me like this, he knows what danger there will be, how can he leave me here."

Mu Qing didn't think that Bai Lichen would turn back for herself, after all, she still weighed her identity clearly.

The two of them are just using each other and taking what they need, and now if they die here, or disappear halfway, it can be regarded as a trouble for Bai Lichen.

After all, Mu Qing is the one who knows many secrets of Bailichen, and the only person in this world who can't tell any secrets is the dead.

"Niangniang really underestimated her status."

The mayor smiled, obviously sure that Bai Lichen would definitely come to Mu Qing.

He didn't deliberately torture Mu Qing, after a few people found a lot of food from Mu Qing's residence, they still provided Mu Qing with food every day, but they didn't make the master and servant hungry.

"Mayor Town, I've already found a way to send the news to the third prince."

A big man outside said to the old man.

"It's good to send it over, His Royal Highness the Third Prince will not ignore his concubine if he is reasonable, now this is the only way for our town to be saved, after all, there is no food at all, and it really can't last."

The mayor sighed softly, and his face was full of traces of time.

"If the third prince is investigated in the future, all the responsibility will be borne by me, an old man, you young people still have a future to go, and you don't have to be implicated in this matter."

The big man wanted to say something, but the old man waved his hand, and the big man had to bow and retreat.

The old man was very prestigious in the town, his ancestors had been the mayor of the town for generations, and he had a sense of responsibility for the town, and the famine was too serious, so he had to do it.

He secretly prayed in his heart that Bai Lichen would come back to Linqi Town for his concubine.

The news was indeed sent to the third prince by the people in the town, and Bai Lichen held the letterhead in his hand fiercely.

He was also a little arrogant at the beginning, so he shouldn't have called the secret guards sent back in the past.

Otherwise, such a thing would not have been provoked!

"How is it now?"

"Back to His Royal Highness, the people in that town did not treat the three imperial concubines harshly, but ......"

If it continues to delay, the third imperial concubine may not be in danger of life......

The subordinate did not continue.

But Bailichen had apparently understood what this meant.

He pondered it for a while, and finally gave the order reluctantly.

"Turn around and go back to Linqi Town, I want to see what the mayor of Linqi Town is going to do, even at the expense of committing the crime of the Zhulian Nine Clans and kidnapping the Three Imperial Concubines."

The news of the convoy's U-turn quickly spread back to Linqi Town, and the old man's eyes were slightly red for a moment, obviously relieved.

As long as the carriage of His Royal Highness the Third Prince is willing to return to Linqi Town, everything will be solved.

"Caomin Lin Zhennan has seen His Royal Highness the Third Prince."

The old man knelt on the ground tremblingly, and Bai Lichen got off the carriage without seeing any trace of Mu Qing.

"What about the Third Imperial Princess."

Bai Lichen's voice revealed a coldness, and Danqing on the side knew that his master was angry.

"Your Highness, as long as you are willing to give the grass people and the people in the town a few days of rations, the grass people will definitely return the Third Imperial Concubine to you well."

Lin Zhennan's face changed slightly, but he still said these words head-on.

"Why, you have to know that these rations were personally ordered by my father to be sent to Fengyuan County, if they stay with you, not only me, but your entire county will be punished by my father."

What Bai Lichen said was not wrong, these rations were indeed sent to Fengyuan by order of the emperor.

"His Royal Highness the Third Prince, if you ignore us now, let alone wait until the day of the emperor's punishment, I'm afraid that the people in our town won't be able to last a few days, Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, please have mercy on us!"

Lin Zhennan knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to Bai Lichen, but Bai Lichen's face was not very good.

He knew that if he was at a stalemate at this time, it would be a little unkind, and these people looked hungry for several days, if they really continued like this, they would definitely do something to Mu Qing.

"The third imperial concubine is in your hands, do you think I still have any choice?"

Bai Lichen sneered, turned to Danqing and commanded, Danqing hesitated, and finally chose to order the coachman of a carriage behind him to send two large boxes of rice and grain on the cart down.

"This is the maximum I can give you right now, and if you don't want to take it, I can't do anything."

The two boxes of rice and grain were placed in front of Lin Zhennan, the old man hesitated for a while, he had read people for many years, and he could see that His Royal Highness the Third Prince in front of him was not a thing in the pool.

If you accept it now, you can still keep the food rations of your town for these few days, if you refuse...... That may not even have enough rations left for this point.

After weighing it up, Lin Zhennan finally nodded.

"Thanks to the kindness of the Three Princes, the grass people and the people in the town will definitely not forget His Royal Highness the Third Prince."

"You don't have to thank me, you should think about what I should explain to my father when something like this happens." Bai Lichen sneered, feeling that he was probably crazy, and he would actually do this for Mu Qing.

Just like Mu Qing thought, if he chooses to leave now, it can be said that he has gotten rid of a big trouble, and he will not get into trouble, Mu Qing is a very unstable factor for him, and it is not good to stay.
