Chapter 18: Your Highness, let's get married

  If I marry him, can I get 10 million yuan? I weakly lift my head to gaze at the stars in the sky. Stars, oh stars, tell me, should I marry that arrogant crown prince?

  A person's face appeared on the stars, that face was extremely pure and handsome, as if an angel descended to the world.

  Mù Yán xué zhǎng...

  He already has someone he likes, so do I still have a chance?

  I don't know...

  The most important thing for me now is to raise those 8,000 yuan as soon as possible.

  I arrived at the main gate of the imperial palace with a hasty and anxious look, only to find that the gate had already been closed. What should I do? Every minute's delay would put my grandmother in greater danger!

  I paced anxiously outside the palace gate, looking up at the over 5-meter-high red wall, when suddenly my peripheral vision caught a glimpse of a large tree next to me, its branches stretching just inside the wall. Bingo! There's a way in.

  Although it may not be successful, I must try anyway.

  "Pffft..."

  I came under the sturdy tree trunk, spat twice into the palm of my hand, took a deep breath, and started climbing.

  When I climbed halfway, a caterpillar suddenly crawled slowly in front of my eyes and came to my chest... Ah! Help! Caterpillar! What a big caterpillar! It's as thick as an adult's finger.

  The caterpillar may have started crawling into my clothes because there was no road ahead.

  No... don't...

  My whole body was stiff as a iron plate, my eyes were filled with water, and my hands that were holding onto the tree started to shake uncontrollably. My feet slipped, losing their original support point, and I let out a loud cry of surprise as I quickly fell off the tree.

  Oh no! My waist! It's either broken or definitely fractured from the fall.

  Just as I was gritting my teeth and screaming in pain, a dazzling yellow light suddenly appeared in front of me, followed by the sound of car horns beeping.

  Squeak

  A sharp screeching sound pierced the darkness and echoed in my ears, a silver-gray sports car came to an abrupt halt just 2 centimeters in front of me.

  I was so scared that my soul flew all the way to the Himalayas, just a little bit more and I would have been crushed into a puddle of flesh.

  I sprang up excitedly, completely feeling no pain from the fall just now, and shouted angrily at the person sitting in the silver-gray sports car, "Hey, what kind of driving are you doing? Didn't you see someone in front? Are you blind? Get out of the car and apologize to me!"
