Only after being reborn did I realize that I was the white moonlight of a powerful minister.

Chapter 112 See you again

"You all line up properly, don't bump into the adults." The soldier came over, forced the people to the side of the road, and made them line up there before checking them one by one.

They felt that the adults were making a fuss; these were just ordinary people, and there were bound to be people on the official road.

When the soldiers checked Ye Wanning's area, they asked her to remove her cloak.

"Sirs, I'm ugly, I'm afraid I'll frighten you," Ye Wanning said, coughing twice.

"I don't care what you look like, take it off now, or I'll kill you!" The soldier drew his sword, and the people around him cried in fear. Ye Wanning had no choice but to take off her cloak.

But as soon as she took off her cloak, everyone saw her face covered in pustules and backed away.

"Huh, how can there be such an ugly person?"

"Yeah, it's so ugly!"

"Is she sick?"

……

Fearing they might catch her disease from Ye Wanning, no one dared to approach her. Only Chunxi spoke up, saying, "Sir, my sister can't stand the wind. Now that you've taken off her cloak and seen everything, can you put it back on?"

"Put it on, it's so ugly! I don't know how there can be such an ugly person!" The soldier walked away with disgust.

Ye Wanning and Chunxi breathed a sigh of relief. The two of them stepped back to the back row and slowed down as the prison van passed by.

They tried to stay at the back of the line, but still within the crowd.

"I've already inquired. Princess Longyu lives in a villa outside the capital, not in the city." Chunxi handed her mistress a piece of cake. To avoid assassins, her mistress had to apply medicine to her face; these sores were real, and she really couldn't be exposed to the wind for too long. Her mistress now was completely different from before.

All the guards were dead, and now only the two of them remained. Only they knew the hardships they had endured along the way.

Ye Wanning had to resist the itch and not scratch, otherwise it would leave scars.

She and Chunxi walked in the crowd until they reached a fork in the road, where they took the fork.

Not long after, someone came running from behind, shouting, "Run! There are assassins! They've started fighting!"

Several people ran this way, and Ye Wanning quickly pulled Chunxi along as well. She knew that the last stretch of road would not be peaceful.

But before they had gone far, an arrow shot from behind and landed right in front of the person in front.

"Anyone who tries to run will be shot in the forehead, not the ground!" Qingshan rode up on horseback. They were too late; the traitorous king was dead. Now they were to arrest all suspicious persons.

Most people stopped, but some still tried their best. Qingshan showed no mercy and shot the opponent directly in the calf.

With a scream of "Ah!", the man collapsed to the ground.

Aoyama ordered, "Take them all away for interrogation; don't let a single one escape."

Ye Wanning's heart skipped a beat. Seeing that it was Qingshan handling the matter, she figured Xie Bohuai must also be nearby.

Sure enough, when she was taken back, she saw Xie Bohuai with a dark and gloomy face.

The leading general was Lu Xiang. The traitorous king was dead. He gripped the hilt of his sword tightly. "Once we find out who did it, I will go and plead guilty to the emperor!"

Xie Bohuai's gaze was cold as he looked at the lifeless rebel king in the prison cart, then sized up Lu Xiang. Lu Fengnian had become senile, sending someone who hadn't even grown up yet to escort him; no wonder trouble had arisen. "He was going to die anyway, he just died a little sooner. I've already sent someone back to the capital to deliver a message. You'd better find the murderer before anyone from the capital arrives, or you can forget about wearing this armor again."

After saying that, Xie Bohuai rode his horse to the front of the crowd. "Those without travel permits will all be punished. As for the others, you have all seen it. The town government does not show any leniency. If you have seen or heard anything and do not confess honestly, none of you will leave here today!"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked to their left and right.

The rebel king was killed by a hidden arrow in the chaos. Xie Bohuai's men have found the hidden arrow and are now making them roll up their sleeves one by one to check if there are any marks on their hands.

People who use sleeve arrows regularly will definitely have marks on their arms, and their skin will be chafed.

At this point, Ye Wanning had no choice but to comply. However, her arms were as white as jade, and as soon as she rolled them up, they attracted the curiosity of those around her.

"Your arms are so white, how come your face is so ugly?"

Ye Wanning tucked her arms in and immediately lowered her sleeves after the soldiers finished their inspection.

But the commotion attracted Xie Bohuai, who rode over and looked down at Ye Wanning. "Roll up your sleeves again, and take off your cloak."
