Chapter 202 Saving Feng Moheng

The dungeon was filled with a pungent smell of decay and dampness, and from the dark corners, the rustling sounds of unknown reptiles could be heard from time to time.

Xitong walked in cautiously, holding a dim lantern. The light flickered in the gloomy environment, as if it would go out at any time.

Their footsteps were particularly clear in the silent dungeon, and the clattering sounds echoed all around.

I don’t know how long I walked, but I finally saw Feng Moheng tied to a rack at the deepest part.

Although there were no visible wounds on his handsome face, his body was covered with scars of varying sizes. His clothes were tattered, and the dirt on his face, sword-like brows and star-like eyes, could not conceal his innate heroic spirit.

At this moment, he closed his eyes and frowned slightly, which made people feel vulnerable for no reason.

Shen Yuling walked quickly to him, stretched out her hand, and patted his face gently.

The voice was gentle but with a hint of urgency: "Feng Moheng, wake up, Feng Moheng..."

Feng Moheng slowly opened his eyes, with confusion still in his eyes. When he saw clearly that the person in front of him was Shen Yuling, he thought he was dreaming.

"Yuling?"

His voice was weak, full of disbelief.

Shen Yuling's face was slightly pale. She reached out her hand, gently held his face, and said softly, "I'm here to save you."

Xi Tong, who was standing by, quickly took the key she had stolen from the guard and fumbled to untie the chains on Feng Moheng.

As soon as the chains were untied, Feng Moheng's body swayed, becoming a little unstable, and he leaned directly on Shen Yuling.

Shen Yuling quickly hugged his waist, put his hand on her shoulder, and choked up, "Feng Moheng, I'm sorry... It's all because of me..."

Feng Moheng said weakly: "Yuling, all this has nothing to do with you..."

Shen Yuling shook her head and said firmly: "I will send you out of the palace, and you will live a good life outside the palace from now on."

For the first time, Feng Moheng hated himself for being so weak that he actually needed her to save him.

"Yuling, I should be the one to say sorry. It's my fault that I couldn't protect you..."

Shen Yuling was extremely anxious and urged, "We don't have much time. I'll take you out."

Feng Moheng leaned on her, and as they walked out, he couldn't help but ask, "Yuling, how...did you get here?"

Quan Minghe would never let him go easily, unless she deceived Quan Minghe and ran away secretly in order to save herself.

Shen Yuling forced a smile and said, "Don't ask. The most important thing today is to get you out of the palace. I have arranged people for you outside the palace. I will definitely get you out safely."

certainly.

Shen Yuling did not arrange any personnel outside the palace, so Feng Moheng could not leave the palace today.

A cold light flashed in her lowered eyes.

But Shen Yuling had just walked a few steps with Feng Moheng when her feet suddenly went weak and she almost fell down.

Feng Moheng tried to support her with his weak body.

His hand touched her arm, and inadvertently, Shen Yuling's forearm was exposed.

Feng Moheng looked at the shocking scars on her arms in shock, his voice trembling: "Quan Minghe...he hit you?!"

He was furious that Quan Minghe actually hit her!

Shen Yuling quickly retracted her hand as if she had been scalded, and explained in a panic: "No...no."

But Xi Tong on the side was filled with righteous indignation and could not help but say: "Prince, don't waste your time and get out quickly. You kidnapped our queen and were locked up in the dungeon. Why do you think you are not dead? Isn't it because of the queen..."

"Xitong!"

Shen Yuling immediately stopped him, frowning tightly.

Xitong realized that she had said something wrong and quickly shut her mouth.

Feng Moheng looked at Shen Yuling in grief and asked, "Quan Minghe threatened you with me? What did he do to you?"

Shen Yuling quickly denied: "It's nothing, don't listen to Xitong's nonsense."

But Feng Moheng was not willing to give up. He suddenly grabbed her collar and looked inside eagerly.

Her collarbone, chest, and back were covered with red and bruises.

Perhaps there were more serious injuries, but Shen Yuling quickly stepped back and hurriedly tidied her clothes.

"Feng Moheng, even if Quan Minghe does anything to me now, I deserve it. I just want you to be alive. Please leave the palace." Shen Yuling said to him with pleading eyes.

Feng Moheng gritted his teeth, filled with anger and self-blame, and with Xitong's support, he walked out of the dungeon step by step with difficulty.

The night was as dark as ink and so thick that it could not be dissolved, as if it had swallowed up the entire palace.

Next to the dungeon, the guards had solemn expressions, their brows tightly knitted into the shape of a "川" character, as they watched the emperor and empress take the prisoners onto the carriage.

As the carriage slowly started, a guard looked at his companion and whispered, "The identity of this prisoner is a mystery, but His Majesty often sends people to inquire about it. Now that the Emperor and Empress have taken the prisoner away, we must report to His Majesty immediately."

The other guard understood what he meant, nodded heavily, turned around and hurried towards the Weiyang Palace.

Shen Yuling's carriage sped along the empty palace road; the wheels rolled, making a dull sound that was particularly clear in the silent night.

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly sounded, and the originally quiet surroundings were instantly broken.

Shen Yuling's heart tightened and she subconsciously grabbed the car curtain.

I saw a team of guards coming like a black tide, the spears in their hands flashing cold light in the moonlight.

They walked in unison, and each step made the ground shake slightly.

Shen Yuling sat in the car, her heart in her throat. She pretended to be calm on the surface, but her slightly trembling fingertips revealed her inner nervousness.

"I'll go out and take a look, don't worry."

She tried to make her voice sound steady, then turned and spoke to Feng Moheng.

Feng Moheng felt her body tremble slightly, and suddenly reached out to hold her hand, saying firmly: "Don't be afraid, it's just a life."

Shen Yuling did not respond. She took a deep breath, bent down and walked out of the carriage.

As soon as he emerged, he saw the imperial carriage that was particularly conspicuous in the darkness.

In front of the imperial carriage, a dozen eunuchs and palace maids lowered their heads and held palace lanterns in their hands.

Behind them were rows of guards holding long swords, with tall and straight postures, emitting a cold and murderous aura.

As soon as Shen Yuling stepped out of the carriage, all the guards came over and surrounded the carriage.

Quan Minghe sat upright on the imperial carriage, looking down at Shen Yuling in the carriage.

His gaze seemed tangible and icy cold.

He was indeed a little tipsy after being drunk by Shen Yuling, but Shen Yuling didn't know that he could force the alcohol out of his body while drunk.

At first, when he was drunk, he thought that the Weiyang Palace was heavily guarded and she couldn't escape even if she had wings, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

However, when he gradually regained consciousness, he rubbed his aching head and stood up. What he saw was still the scene of singing and dancing in the hall, but Shen Yuling beside him was nowhere to be seen.

"Everyone retreat!"

He shouted angrily, and his voice echoed in the hall, causing pain in everyone's eardrums.

When Li Ming heard His Majesty's unfriendly tone, he hurried in, looking terrified.

"Where are the empress?" Kwon Myung-hyuk's voice was low and suppressed, like the dull thunder before a storm.

Li Ming looked confused. Hadn't His Majesty and the Emperor and Empress been drinking and having fun in the palace all the time?

He replied cautiously: "Your Majesty, the Queen did not go out."

Quan Minghe's brows were twisted into a knot. Did she go back to the bedroom?

He immediately stood up and strode towards the bedroom.

But the bedroom was empty and there was no sign of Shen Yuling.

Quan Minghe's eyes were as sharp as torches. He quickly scanned the surroundings and finally stopped at the passage leading to Lingxi Palace, where there were obvious signs of being tampered with.

When did she know about this passage?

Quan Minghe was shocked.

No wonder she was so calm and composed when Lingxi Palace caught fire. He was secretly glad that she didn't ask who the owner of Lingxi Palace was.

Now that I think about it, maybe she already knew everything, but pretended not to know and didn't care.

Quan Minghe's face instantly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot. He suppressed his anger and ordered Li Ming: "Go to the dungeon and take a look."

Li Ming took the order and left in a hurry.

But before he could reach the dungeon, the dungeon guards had already arrived at the Weiyang Palace.

Upon learning that Shen Yuling was taking Feng Moheng to the palace gate, Quan Minghe immediately went to the palace road leading to the palace gate, ready to stop her.

What exactly does she want to do?

Aren’t you going to kill Feng Moheng?

Why save him?
