The Crown Princess Has a Deadly Destiny
Chapter 11

There were no precious stones on that protruding hill. Therefore, in the past, only ordinary people would choose some interesting stones here.

The jade mine in this area was discovered many years ago, which was why this piece of land had been abandoned for a very long time.

Zhao Xuanjing was sitting in the carriage. What Xie Qiao said yesterday flashed through his mind.

“What time is it now?” zhao Xuanjin said in a lazy tone as he opened the window of the carriage with his slender fingers.

“Young Master, there are still fifteen more minutes before nine in the morning,” someone said immediately.

Zhao Xuanjing narrowed his eyes and suddenly spoke nonchalantly, “Stop the carriage and rest. We will leave after fifteen minutes.”

The imperial guards below him were stunned for a moment. He did not dare to ask more and immediately told everyone to stop their journey to rest and recuperate.

After Zhao Xuanjing gave his instructions, he realized how ridiculous he sounded. For some reason, he began to believe what the young con man had said. As he stared at the sky today, the weather was fine without clouds.

‘In such sunny weather and with so many palace guards by my side, what accident might happen?’

However, he wanted this young lady to admit her mistake. He planned to lock her in the administrative office for a few days to teach her a lesson so that she would not become a fraud again.

Xie Qiao was watched by four people. He had walked slowly at the end of the queue, and he had to stop after taking a few steps. Among the guards who were watching him was Qin Zhi, the person whose wealth had been read by him.

At first, he was angry with the young lady who was throwing that nonsense. But looking at his delicate and weak appearance, he felt that he, as a grown man, did not need to take the words of a young woman into heart.

“Why does the front line stop? Did the young master really listen to you, young lady?” Qin Zhi muttered.

Xie Qiao's face turned pale. “Good coincidence. I can't walk anymore.”

“You only traveled a short distance, and you can't walk anymore? If this continues, do we have to carry you?” Qin Zhi glanced at Xie Qiao with a look of disdain, but since he could not get angry with this woman, he had no choice but to swallow his anger.

“You don't have to carry me. Train Your Young Master will do the job.” Xie Qiao spoke weakly.

He was used to spending his time with everything. He walked fast enough today for his speed. With how fast they continued to advance for their journey, he felt like half of his life had been lost.

“Argh. Yet you dare to play around here.” Before he finished speaking, he raised his eyes and faintly saw smoke and dust coming out from a distance.

The supervising frontline guard saw the incident and immediately reported it to Zhao Xuanjing. Zhao Xuanjing was having tea in the carriage. He was shocked to hear of the incident and ordered the guard on his horse to go to the place to investigate.

The guards on horseback returned from the investigation in almost no time.

“Young Master, in front.an abandoned jade mine has just collapsed, and many stones have fallen. About fifty or sixty feet of the path was buried.”

“…”

Zhao Xuanjing had twitching eyelids. “If we don't stop, will we get there now?”

When the captain of the palace guard heard this, he frowned and nodded seriously, “If you calculate the distance, yes, we should be there now.”

Zhao Xuanjing suddenly tightened his brows. He brought many guards with him, and although the five or sixty foot buried path would not be enough to bury them all, they would still suffer losses.

If he had bad luck today, even he himself might have left. This was a pile of mine waste, so there was very little land in the area. There were also many useless stones that were thrown everywhere, and slowly piled up to form a rock slope. If hit by a stone, they will be severely injured if not killed immediately.

“Please.. invite...” Suddenly, he can't say the word ‘penipu’. Thinking of the words on the divination banner, Imperial Guard Zhou asked, “Do you want to invite Immortal Xie to come?”
