Chapter 292 Kill Her

"ah--"

Princess Guangning let out a short scream and then could not scream anymore as cold air rushed into her mouth.

Immediately afterwards, the person holding her fell on the crooked tree, cushioned the impact, and then hit the ground with a dull thud.

The impact made her eyes go black and she almost fainted. Her internal organs were displaced and her chest and bones ached.

“Cough cough… cough…”

Princess Guangning coughed violently a few times. After she recovered, she saw the person under her clearly. Her pupils tightened, her hair stood on end, and she turned over and fell to the side.

Prince Yu spat out a mouthful of blood, felt dizzy, and fainted.

When Princess Guangning saw the bright red blood flowing out from Prince Yu's body, she was so frightened that her face turned pale and she suddenly sat up.

Only then did she realize that she and Prince Yu did not fall off the cliff, but fell on a stone platform. When she looked up, she could see the top of the cliff and a crooked tree.

A terrible thought suddenly came to her mind. Prince Yu had deliberately grabbed her and thrown her off the cliff. The height here and the crooked tree were all calculated by him.

But she didn't know why Prince Yu, who was fine, grabbed her and forced her to fall off the cliff, deliberately getting seriously injured.

To marry her?

The next moment, Princess Guangning denied it.

Prince Yu definitely has more than just the intention of marrying her; he must have other purposes.

Thinking of this, Princess Guangning felt horrified.

Such a person who would not hesitate to be cruel to herself in order to achieve his goal is full of danger and scares her.

Princess Guangning's first reaction was to escape, but there was a steep cliff above and a deep abyss below.

She could neither go up nor down.

Princess Guangning looked helplessly at Prince Yu, only to see him lying motionless in a pool of blood.

She was afraid that Prince Yu would die here and she would definitely not survive.

She approached and nervously called out, "Your Highness, Your Highness?"

Prince Yu was drowsy when he heard a vague voice, as if it was ringing in his ears, or as if it came from the depths of his memory: "Young Master, Young Master?"

He subconsciously reached out and grabbed Princess Guangning's neck, just like he had fought hard and grabbed the hunter's neck.

Prince Yu vaguely remembered that he was pulling Princess Guangning off the cliff. It was also like he was back in the winter hunting when he was ten years old. He was chasing a silver fox and fell down the hillside and was injured. He was picked up by a hunter.

Seeing that he was handsome, the hunter tied his hands and feet with vines, and did not dress him in anything but a pair of underpants. He used his dirty hands to caress and kiss him, which made him feel so sick that his stomach twitched and he wanted to vomit. His dignity as a prince and a man was wiped out, and great humiliation surged in his heart. He wished he could cut the hunter into pieces, but he was powerless to resist and let him humiliate him.

When the hunter took off his clothes, pressed him under him, and wanted to completely defile him, his inner panic and despair turned into intense hatred.

The vines on his wrists were finally broken. He grabbed the hunter's neck with one hand and grabbed a stone with the other hand, smashing it hard on the back of the hunter's head.

Again and again, blood sprayed on his face, but he felt nothing. He did not stop until the hunter fell limply.

A wolf raised by the hunter pounced on him and bit him.

Before he had a breath left, his father and mother came to find him.

Prince Yu suddenly opened his eyes, and the unbearable memories were interrupted. He saw his hands strangling Princess Guangning's neck.

Princess Guangning grabbed his hand and tried to pry his fingers apart.

There was still a murderous look in Prince Yu's eyes. He was not sure whether Princess Guangning had discovered anything, but he did not intend to let her go and tightened his fingers tightly.

Princess Guangning had difficulty breathing, and the feeling of being on the verge of death stimulated her strong will to survive.

She didn't want to die here, she couldn't die here.

She thought of Prince Yu's expression of fear, pain, disgust, and a hint of despair while he was sleeping.

Almost guessing that he had a nightmare and was afraid that she would see his vulnerability, so he wanted to kill her?

Princess Guangning looked at him with wide eyes, pretending to have recovered from the panic of being attacked. The fear in her eyes faded, and she was filled with gratitude towards him.

"I... I just want to... thank you... for saving me..." Princess Guangning squeezed out the words from her throat, "You are the only one who has reached out to me."

She deliberately reminded Prince Yu of his purpose in dragging her off the cliff. If she died, his purpose would be thwarted.

Princess Guangning gave up struggling and even stretched her neck, as if she was ready to be killed, as if she really wanted to thank him and then submit to her fate.

Prince Yu looked into her eyes, which changed from fear at first to gratitude, and now to calmness, as if he was really not afraid of death.

He had carefully planned to fall off the cliff today, with the purpose of marrying Princess Guangning.

He was unwilling to marry before because he was worried that it would affect the selection of the crown prince, and he didn't want to take on a trouble.

Now he has the Ministry of War's case on his hands, and judging by his father's determination to conduct a thorough investigation, he wants to punish him.

He and Princess Guangning fell off a cliff, and the two of them spent a day together as a single man and a single woman, which damaged Princess Guangning's reputation. She had no choice but to marry him.

My father has some concerns, so he will show mercy.

Besides, my father values friendship and loyalty, and no matter how heinous his crimes are, he is still my father's son. As long as he hasn't committed the serious mistake of plotting to usurp the throne, seeing him seriously injured is inevitable.

So he specifically proposed autumn hunting to provide an opportunity for Northern Qi.

Because Northern Qi had always wanted to marry Princess Guangning to the Prince of Zhenbei.

The Northern Qi envoys rarely had the opportunity to meet Chen Du, and the autumn hunt was their only chance to do so. After the autumn hunt, the marriage was almost finalized.

If Northern Qi wants to facilitate the marriage between Chen Du and Guang Ning, it will definitely take action during the autumn hunt.

When the King of Qi took Princess Guangning to plan the sinking of the ferry, he led the King of Qi away and dragged Princess Guangning off the cliff, creating an accident.

Prince Yu had this plan in mind, so before the autumn hunt, he sent people to survey the terrain and determine this location.

He personally checked to make sure that at a certain height, the person would not die from the fall but would only be seriously injured.

Unexpectedly, he fell down and remembered the unbearable past in a daze, and was exposed in front of Princess Guangning. His only thought was to kill her.

But Princess Guangning's words reminded him.

He pulled her off the cliff to save himself.

So Princess Guangning cannot die.

At least I can't die now.

Prince Yu loosened his grip, and the force was relieved, and he could no longer muster the strength.

He looked at the foggy sky and thought of another thing.

According to the time calculation, King Rui is about to go to Fengxing Mountain, right?

My father will definitely be very anxious when he hears this news.

The news of his fall off the cliff gave my father an excuse to order Prince Rui to search for him and prevent him from going to Fengxing Mountain.

In this way, he could be considered helping his father to divert the troublesome Prince Rui away. His father did not want the secret of Fengxing Mountain to be exposed, so he would definitely not let Prince Rui investigate further and would most likely suppress his case.

Princess Guangning fell to the ground. The air rushed into her airway, stimulating her to cough violently, and her throat hurt like a knife cutting.

She knew in her heart that she had only escaped danger temporarily.

From the moment she fell off the cliff, her fate was tied to Prince Yu's.

If you want to survive, you cannot be afraid of him, you must accept him, and even love him.

"Your Highness, I...I'll bandage you..." Princess Guangning took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and looked at him timidly. She was still a little scared, but she couldn't help but want to get closer to him: "You are the only one who saved me. I...I want to help you..."

Prince Yu stared into her black and white eyes, trying hard to suppress his fear of him, but because of the ridiculous favor, he wanted to repay him.

He had no intention of delving into Princess Guangning's thoughts for the time being, and said coldly, "No need."

Princess Guangning looked at him worriedly, shrank back, and thought to herself that she still had to be afraid of him. After all, she saw him kill the rabbit with her own eyes and was almost killed by him.

Otherwise, he will become suspicious.

-

The news that Prince Yu and Princess Guangning fell off the cliff soon reached the ears of Emperor Jing'an.

"Your Majesty, the horses of Prince Yu and Princess Guangning were found on the edge of the cliff. They are nowhere to be seen in the woods. It seems they fell off the cliff."

Emperor Jing'an had many guesses in his mind, but he never thought that Prince Yu would risk his life.

He was about to give the order when the sound of hurried horse hooves was heard.

Immediately afterwards, the Jinyiwei, wearing Feiyu uniforms, dismounted and quickly came before Emperor Jing'an. He knelt on one knee and said, "Your Majesty, Prince Rui is leading the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple to Fengxing Mountain."
