Chapter 431 Save My Child, Escape

Shen Chu's gaze swept over Pei Yuan inch by inch.

Pei Yuan seemed to have lost a lot of weight in the few days since they last met, and his wedding attire was loose and baggy.

His face was pale and bluish, with noticeable stubble, and he looked extremely haggard.

He had promised himself that he would break off the engagement with Chen Jiaying.

She believed that marrying Chen Jiaying was not what he wanted.

However, the imperial decree was hard to disobey, and besides, due to Luo Heng's conspiracy, they all thought they were dead.

She naturally did not want Pei Yuan to suffer the calamity of being beheaded because of her disobeying the imperial decree.

Despite trying her best to comfort herself, Chen Chu's face was still covered in tears.

Especially when they saw Pei Yuan walking step by step toward the eight-bearer sedan chair.

His bride sat in the bridal sedan chair.

However, the bride was not her.

They once vowed to be together for life, hand in hand until they grew old.

Now she has to watch helplessly as Pei Yuan holds someone else's hand.

It felt like a knife had been plunged into my heart, and it was being churned inside.

The bleeding continued until her flesh was mangled and bloody, causing her excruciating pain that almost suffocated her.

Her hands were clenched tightly together, as if only in this way could she resist the pain in her heart.

She wanted to shout.

Sixth Brother, I'm not dead, I'm here.

But what's the use now? Chen Jiaying's bridal sedan chair has already arrived at the gate of Prince Rui's mansion.

Shen Chu opened her mouth silently, and tears, which she could no longer hold back, streamed down her face in large drops.

Luo Heng coldly ordered Wanqiu, "Let's go."

The curtain suddenly fell in front of her, shutting out everything outside.

The lively and noisy sounds outside gradually faded away.

Luo Heng reached out to wipe away Shen Chu's tears, but they flowed again as soon as he wiped them away.

The tears seemed endless.

Luo Heng's gaze darkened slightly. "A-Chu, now you should believe me, right?"

Pei Yuan may have some feelings for you, but how much sincerity can a member of the royal family like him have?

For them, power and status are the most important things.

"Only by being with me will you be happy. I will treat you well for the rest of my life."

Shen Chu remained silent, but her face suddenly turned deathly pale.

Luo Heng's expression changed. He reached out to support her swaying body and raised his voice to ask:

"Achu, what's wrong?"

puff.

Shen Chu suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, her body slumped against the carriage wall, she opened her mouth but made no sound.

Luo Heng quickly released her speech acupoint.

"Achu, what's wrong with you?"

Chen Chu grabbed Luo Heng's hand, and with such force, her nails dug deep into Luo Heng's hand.

"My stomach hurts so much, it hurts so much, find a doctor, save my baby."

Luo Heng frowned, his gaze sweeping heavily over her abdomen.

Shen Chu leaned against the carriage wall, her face as white as paper, and beads of sweat the size of soybeans dripping from her forehead.

She stared intently at Luo Heng and said, word by word:

"Luo Heng, if anything happens to my child, I will never live on alone."

Luo Heng's expression changed slightly, and he quickly gave instructions to Wanqiu, who was driving the car.

"Quickly, go to the nearest Xinglintang and get a doctor."

Fearing that someone would recognize Shen Chu, he dared not take her directly to the clinic.

Wanqiu agreed, parked the carriage in a quiet alley, got out, and left.

Luo Heng wiped the sweat from Shen Chu's face with his sleeve, his expression concerned.

"Don't worry, Wanqiu walks very fast. A doctor will come to examine you soon."

Shen Chu nodded gently, seeing Luo Heng intently wiping his sweat.

Her eyes flashed, and she pulled out a shard of porcelain that she had hidden in her sleeve, then stabbed it fiercely towards Luo Heng's neck.

But she had silver chains on her hands, and they rattled whenever she moved them.

Luo Heng reacted quickly, tilting his head back to dodge the attack.

Shen Chu quickly adjusted her strategy and directly stabbed the broken porcelain shards into Luo Heng's arm.

"ah!"

Luo Heng winced in pain and raised his hand to slap her hand away.

Then the sharp porcelain shards still managed to cut his wrist horribly.

A bright red liquid gushed out instantly.

Luo Heng's expression changed drastically, "You...you actually..."

Bang.

Before he could finish speaking, his hemophobia flared up, his eyes rolled back, and he slumped limply onto the car.

Chen Chu breathed a sigh of relief, then spat out another mouthful of blood.

That's right, she forcibly broke through the acupoints with her internal energy, but because of the excessive consumption, she damaged her heart meridian, causing her to vomit blood.

Using Luo Heng's hemophobia to escape was the method she had figured out most confidently to leave in the past few days.

So she deliberately knocked over the dishes in anger, just to get a sharp shard of porcelain.

Shen Chu wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and quickly reached into Luo Heng's arms to grope around.

They successfully found the key and unlocked the silver chain on their wrist.

Picking up the shards of porcelain, she stabbed Luo Heng in the neck without hesitation.

Xinglin Hall is nearby, and Wanqiu will be back soon.

Only when Luo Heng was seriously injured would she not have time to chase after him.

Seeing the blood flowing freely from Luo Heng's neck, she pursed her lips, opened the car door, and jumped out.

As soon as her foot touched the ground, she almost fell to the ground.

Having just vomited blood and exhausted her internal energy, she was completely drained.

But she didn't dare waste any time, so she gritted her teeth and forced herself to run towards the alley entrance.

Five or six guards carrying knives appeared at the entrance of the alley.

These are the guards of the Luo family; she had seen them when she was at the manor.

It turns out that Luo Heng had secretly brought guards with him on this trip.

Seeing several guards running towards her at the same time, Shen Chu's expression changed drastically, and she turned and ran to the other end of the alley.

She originally intended to get off the carriage and head straight for Prince Rui's residence, but the guards were chasing her, so she had no choice but to flee in panic, squeezing into every alley she could find.

The hutongs and alleys of Beijing are interconnected. After coming out of five or six alleys, she was exhausted and, leaning against a tree by the wall, coughed up another mouthful of blood.

A commotion arose ahead, accompanied by the mournful sound of suona horns, as a funeral procession approached.

She looked up and her eyes lit up.

Isn't this "her" funeral procession?

She saw her third senior brother and Li Chengxuan following behind the coffin.

The senior brother who was supposed to be with them was nowhere to be found.

Chen Chu had no time to think further and forced himself to catch up.

"Third Senior Brother."

“Chengxuan”.

However, the sound of the suona horn in front was too loud, completely drowning out her voice.

Her legs became weaker and weaker.

The guards chasing them were getting closer and closer.

Chen Chu gritted his teeth and used all his strength.

"Third Senior Brother."

A large hand reached out from the side and pulled her into the alley next door.

She couldn't catch her breath, her vision went black, and she collapsed limply to the ground.

In the funeral procession ahead, Ling Ce suddenly turned around and looked back.

His eyes searched through the crowd.

Li Chengxuan turned his head and asked, "What's wrong?"

Ling Ce frowned, staring blankly behind him.

"I think I just heard Achu's voice. It sounded like she was calling me. Did you hear anything?"

Li Chengxuan shook his head, "It's all the sound of suona horns, there's no other sound."

He patted Ling Ce on the shoulder and said, "I understand you. You're so heartbroken that you're hallucinating. To be honest, I even dreamed about A Chu last night."

Doctor Han was suddenly summoned away by the Prince Rui's residence, and no one knew what had happened.

You'd better be on your guard, because you, as the senior brother, will be personally presiding over A-Chu's burial later."

Ling Ce raised his hand to rub his face and said in a hoarse voice, "Let's go."

The funeral procession moved on in a grand procession, but no one saw that in the narrow alley behind them, someone was carrying the unconscious Shen Chu as they turned and left.
