Princess Rui finally ran to the tree, panting and holding onto the trunk to rest for a while.
She subconsciously looked back to see how far she had run.
Unexpectedly, when they looked over, they found that the yard where they had been imprisoned was now lit up.
Oh no, has he been discovered?
Princess Rui originally thought that she would not be discovered until at least morning, but she was exposed so soon.
She suddenly became anxious and didn't dare to rest anymore. She picked up Qingtian and continued to run down the mountain.
But the more anxious people are, the more likely they are to get into trouble.
Princess Rui had not run far when she stepped on a stone and fell.
The moment she fell to the ground, she turned around with all her strength to cushion herself and prevent Qingtian from falling into her arms at all.
"Empress, are you okay?" Qingtian jumped up and asked worriedly.
Princess Rui also wanted to get up, but she felt severe pain in her ankle.
"No, I think I sprained my foot."
Princess Rui was in pain and anxious, with beads of sweat dripping down her cheeks.
She pushed Qingtian's back anxiously and said, "Don't worry about me, run down the mountain quickly. I'm the one they want to catch. I can't let you down."
Qingtian looked at Princess Rui steadily, then actually turned around and ran away.
Princess Rui had originally prepared a lot of words to persuade Qingtian, but now they were all stuck in her throat.
Although she was the one who asked Qingtian to run fast, she still felt a little uncomfortable at this moment.
But then Princess Rui began to despise herself for thinking like that.
How old is Qingtian? Just a four or five-year-old child.
Faced with such a complicated situation, if you can remain calm and well-behaved without crying or making a fuss, you are already better than 90% of children.
What's more, she was arrested because of her own involvement.
Can I still expect her to stay for me?
Seeing the light of the torch getting closer and closer to her, just when Princess Rui was about to leave it to fate, suddenly she heard Qingtian's heart-wrenching cry from another direction.
"Mother - mother -"
Princess Rui was instantly heartbroken by her crying. She struggled to stand up, but her right ankle immediately felt a piercing pain and she couldn't move at all.
But she still heard a few fragmented words brought by the night wind.
"Over there... Chase after him..."
Looking at the torches getting farther and farther away from her, Princess Rui suddenly realized what was going on.
Qingtian didn't abandon her and run away, but had already made up his mind to help her divert the pursuers.
