C360 (1/2)

As the sound of his voice faded, the sound of wind came from behind him, accompanied by a strange fragrance.

This kind of fragrance was extremely familiar to Chen Mu Mu, who had already treated poison as a life-saving technique.

Exquisite quality knockout drug.

Legend has it which one can put down a cow.

Chen Mu Mu Mu secretly cursed under his breath as he quickly dodged to the side to avoid the sound of the wind.

However, she had forgotten …

She was having a tummy upset.

The movement of his body was so violent that he could not control his body and fell to the ground.

As his body fell to the ground, the pain caused his breathing to become disorderly, and he took another deep breath.

A wave of dizziness hit her, and before she could clearly see who was attacking from behind, a piece of handkerchief covered her face.

She didn't even have time to struggle before she fainted.

When he woke up, he was in a secluded palace. He was lonely and had the wind blowing around him. It seemed like he hadn't lived here for a long time.

Furthermore, the sky was dark, and it was already nightfall.

Chen Mu was stunned for a moment. He rubbed his aching head and got up from the ground. He looked around and saw a conspicuous fire four to five meters away, as well as a man roasting food next to the fire.

The man was dressed in white, his hair was like a waterfall, his back was straight, and his technique was elegant. Just from the view of his back, one could tell that he was quite a handsome man.

She hadn't forgotten that she was being held hostage.

He felt a bit of vigilance in his heart and subconsciously felt for his waist pouch, only to find that the carrying bag had already disappeared without a trace.

His eyes narrowed as he watched the man barbeque. His face showed no expression.

”You're awake?” The man had sharp ears and knew that she had awoken when he heard her footsteps. He turned to her side and waved her over, ”You've been sleeping for half a day already. You must be hungry. Come over and eat something.”

The night was as dark as ink, the moon was dark and the winds were high. The firelight dazzled in the darkness, and the white-clothed man sitting by the fire was extremely bright.

Chen Mu Mu Mu quietly sized him up in the light of the fire.

This was a man who was about the same age as her, and could be called uncle.

His face was pale without a beard, and his facial features were as handsome as his temperament. Although he had launched a sneak attack on her, his entire body didn't have any indecent aura.

Was it her imagination?

Or was it face or justice?

Chen Mu Mu's gaze was still filled with bewilderment, but that man was already smiling faintly.

”Come sit down, the wind is cold over there.”

If he was afraid that she would be cold, why didn't he put her by the fire before?

This short sentence easily ruined the positive image brought about by the value of his face.

A stab to the head and a stab to the head. The situation was still unclear, so what was the other party willing to talk to her about?

At least if she showed signs of friendliness, she wouldn't have to refuse and completely infuriate him.

Just like what Su Yanyan had said, it was also filled with ill intentions. It was better to just smile and talk than to keep a straight face.

A relaxed and happy way to deceive others was more comfortable than real blood.

After pondering over the matter, Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu decided to make a decision and walked slowly toward the fire.

The smile on the man's face deepened as he saw her approach. He elegantly flipped the roasted chicken on the shelf: ”The chicken will be cooked in a while.”

She didn't come here to eat meat.

If she was free now, it was unknown how she would eat meat outside.

Chen Mu Mu Mu pondered for a while before asking, ”What kind of place is this?”

”The palace.” ”Don't worry, they won't be able to find us here for the time being.”

Chen Mu's eyes flickered as he stared at the fire, deep in his thoughts.

She had originally entered the palace with Su Yanyan and the others, but after entering the palace, she and Yao Sanniang were thrown in the imperial garden.

Then, she had a stomach attack.

After that, Yao Sanniang went to help ask for directions and never came back.

In the end, she was kidnapped.

In broad daylight, in a palace that was rumored to be as crowded as a city, she was kidnapped.

The strangest thing was that the imperial garden was cold and desolate, with very few people around. It was likely that no one had seen her being kidnapped.

His thoughts flowed, time flowed, Chen Mu Mu Mu didn't speak, and neither did the man. Other than the sound of one or two crickets chirping and the sound of burning firewood and cooking oil, everything else was as quiet as a pin dropping onto the ground.

Sometimes, even the slightest noise would create a more tranquil atmosphere.

It was just that this tranquility did not give people a peace of mind.

The two people in front of the fire each had their own thoughts. Only when the roast chicken was done and the man took the chicken from the rack and cut it into small pieces did this tranquility break.

”Princess, here you are.”

The man pulled out a plate and handed over the sliced chicken.

Chen Mu Mu took it over. Upon hearing the other party's address, his hands trembled, and he nearly threw the entire plate on the floor.

”What did you call me?”
