"Alright, let's carry Lord Yun back to his room! He suffers from epilepsy. I, no, I, the Consort, have just given him acupuncture, and he should wake up soon."
It turned out that Yun Chao's epilepsy had just relapsed, and the distraught prison guards had no choice but to release "Blood Purple Rose," who had volunteered for the task.
"Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Your Highness..."
The jailers were overwhelmed with gratitude and were all busy with Yun Chao, completely forgetting about "Blood Purple Rose".
"If we don't leave now, when will we?"
Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, "Blood Purple Rose" turned around and walked away into the distance.
"Oh no, the princess has run away..."
Just then, a prison guard exclaimed from behind, and "Blood Purple Rose" took off running.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, you can't leave yet, come back, come back..."
"Grab the princess, don't let her escape..."
...
Behind him came a cacophony of shouts. "Blood Purple Rose" scanned her surroundings with her glassy eyes, spotted an old locust tree to the east, leaped up, and, like a monkey, scaled the courtyard wall.
"It's just the Dali Temple, and they think they can trap me here? Let me go back first and clear my name before we talk."
The prison guards exchanged bewildered glances at the agile "Blood Purple Rose".
"Is this still a princess? Shouldn't a princess be dignified and elegant? The princess in front of me seems to have nothing to do with that word."
"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and chase after them! If the master wakes up and finds out that the princess has escaped, can you bear the responsibility?"
The prison warden was stunned for a moment, then reacted and shouted in a deep voice.
"Chase after her! We must bring the princess back!"
Chaos erupted within the Dali Temple as hundreds of prison guards poured out and chased after "Blood Purple Rose."
"Sorry, someone is chasing me. It wasn't intentional."
"Blood Purple Rose" was only focused on escaping when she accidentally bumped into someone with a cold and murderous expression.
"Miss Han?"
Mu Chun never expected to encounter "Blood Purple Rose" here. His purpose in coming today was to kill the woman in front of him. As long as he killed her, he could return to the country with his master.
"Are you Mu Chun? The duck's attendant?"
The word "Blood Purple Rose" slipped out, but then, realizing it was rather impolite, I quickly corrected myself.
"It is Chu Yunmo, Young Master Chu."
"Your Highness, they're over there! Go after them quickly!"
The jailers were hot on their heels. Mu Chun stared at the woman before him, his killing intent growing stronger. With a sharp "whoosh," he drew his sword.
"Prepare to die! If you have anyone to blame, it's only because you're a descendant of Princess Luoxi."
"Well, I'll be going now. See you later."
Just as Mu Chun thrust his sword at "Blood Purple Rose," she shoved him hard, and Mu Chun's sword instantly pointed at the jailer who was chasing after him.
No, I...
Mu Chun wanted to explain, but she was already surrounded, and in the distance, she could hear "Blood Purple Rose" expressing her gratitude.
"Brother, you've come at just the right time. Help me stop them."
Mu Chun is now in a situation where he can't clear his name no matter what.
"He's in cahoots with the princess, take him down."
The prison warden shouted in a deep voice, but Mu Chun shook his head.
"No, sir, you've misunderstood, you've misunderstood..."
"Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, we'll discuss it at the Dali Temple."
Having finally found a scapegoat, the jailers were not about to let him go. Without saying a word, they took Mu Chun away.
"Blood Purple Rose" ran through three alleys and finally shook off the prison guards. Just as she was about to catch her breath, several screams came from inside a high-walled courtyard.
"Ah...ah...ah..."
Then came unrestrained laughter.
"Drink it! Hurry up and drink my piss, or I'll beat you to death, you idiot, hahaha..."
"Don't be so rude. He's still my brother, after all. You have to give me some face. You can't just make him drink urine; you have to make him eat shit too, hahaha..."
"Blood Purple Rose" had sharp ears and quickly recognized the treacherous laughter of Prince Li Muchen.
"Where is this place?"
"Blood Purple Rose" surveyed her surroundings with her glassy eyes. She saw a large courtyard nearby, with a neat and orderly layout.
Pavilions and towers, with flying eaves and green tiles, intertwine and twist, exuding exquisite elegance yet grand and imposing. It is clear that the people who live here are either rich or noble. Could it be the "Lin Prince's Mansion"?
"Hold him down and make him eat quickly. King Rin is waiting to see the show! What are you all standing there for?"
"Zhou Fengyun? What's she doing here?"
Driven by curiosity, the "blood crape myrtle" leaped onto the courtyard wall.
There were many people standing in the courtyard, numbering over a hundred, most of whom were just watching the spectacle, along with some guards carrying swords.
At this moment, a man and a woman were tied to a tree nearby. Both of them were young, at most in their early twenties, and both had injuries on their bodies.
She recognized the two people standing in the middle: one was Prince Lin, Li Muchen, and the other was Li Jingchen's aunt, Zhou Fengyun. How did these two end up together?
"Eat! Eat! My Crown Prince, the King of Lin is watching! Hurry up and eat this pile of shit."
A man in brocade robes was kneeling on the ground, being pressed down hard by a man in fine clothes, who was shoving him into a pile of excrement on the ground.
"No, no, King Lin, please spare the Wise Prince! He's gone mad and won't be an obstacle on your path to the throne anymore. Please, spare him! Spare His Highness the Wise Prince..."
The man in the tree struggled and shouted.
"No, no, don't eat it, Your Highness, it doesn't taste good, boohoo..."
The woman in the tree was also choking back tears.
"The Wise Prince? Isn't that the deposed Crown Prince? Could this be the Wise Prince's residence?"
"Blood Purple Rose" looked around again and saw that the courtyard was overgrown with weeds, obviously neglected for a long time, giving it a desolate feel.
"If I tell you to eat, then eat. If you don't hurry up, believe me, I'll beat you to death."
The man who held down the wise king spoke viciously and even raised his fist.
"Kill him, kill him..."
A chorus of jeers erupted around them, and "Blood Purple Rose" raised her phoenix eyes in anger.
"With so many servants in the courtyard, are they just going to stand by and watch their master be bullied?"
"Your Highness, my master is your brother. Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning for doing this?"
The man tied to the tree blushed with anger, but he couldn't break free of the ropes.
"Your Highness, this servant is so annoying. Could you please tell him to shut up? He's ruining the show."
Zhou Fengyun murmured sweetly, leaning against Li Jingchen.
“My darling is absolutely right. Kill Geng Yuan for me.”
Li Jingchen reached out and pulled Zhou Fengyun into his arms, his bloodthirsty eyes fixed on Geng Yuan in the tree.
