No!
Su Renyi was stunned. He rushed to the edge of the cliff like a madman, but he couldn't even grab a piece of Mu Junyu's clothes. He just watched helplessly as Jinzhu and Mu Junyu fell off the cliff.
The cliff was bottomless; if someone fell down, they would quickly disappear from sight, with only layers upon layers of white clouds visible.
When the guards rushed to the edge of the cliff, the two had already disappeared from sight.
"My lord, what do we do now?" the guards asked Su Renyi cautiously.
Su Renyi panicked completely, his face turning red as he screamed, "Quickly find a way down the cliff! You must bring him back to me!"
Su Renyi was frantic. Mu Junyu absolutely could not be harmed, otherwise he and Consort Su would be completely finished.
Seeing that Su Renyi was in such a hurry, the guards did not dare to delay and hurried down the mountain together.
But they ran into the group of black-clad guards as soon as they came down the mountain.
Without saying a word, the two sides started fighting!
These black-clad guards came on strong and were all highly skilled in martial arts. Soon, the guards on this side were no match for them.
Two guards protected Su Renyi: "My lord, these people are highly skilled in martial arts. I'm afraid all our hidden guards in the bamboo forest are already gone. You should leave quickly!"
If we don't leave, I'm afraid we'll perish here today.
Su Renyi never expected things to turn out this way. The secluded mountain he had found would be exposed, and Jin Zhu would betray him, even jumping off a cliff with Mu Junyu.
The most important thing now is that Mu Junyu's fate is unknown, and he really doesn't know how to go back and explain it to Consort Su.
Su Renyi glanced at the black-clad guards with a gloomy look, then ran away with the two guards.
These people are probably all from the Holy King's Mansion. It must be that Xuan Yuanzhan is helping Su Xuening find Mu Junyu.
Survival is the priority now. Once he gets through this crisis, he'll send someone to find Mu Junyu at the bottom of the cliff.
Regardless, we must see the person alive or dead!
The black-clad guards here acted swiftly and decisively, killing all of Su Renyi's guards in no time.
Just as they were about to chase after Su Renyi, Xuan Yuanzhan and Su Xuening arrived.
"Your Highness." The guards stepped forward and bowed when they saw Xuan Yuanzhan arrive.
Xuanyuan Zhan alighted from the carriage and asked the guards, "Have you found Madam Su?"
The guards lowered their eyes in shame. One of them reported, "We tracked them to a bamboo forest. There was a small wooden house on a hill in the bamboo forest. Madam Su was probably imprisoned in that house before. We probably alerted her. After we dealt with the guards in the bamboo forest, there was no one left up there."
Su Xuening was extremely disappointed and asked anxiously, "Have you seen my mother?"
The guards felt ashamed once again.
Xuanyuan Zhan frowned deeply: "Where is Su Renyi!"
"Our men rushed over and caught him red-handed. Just now, while our men were surrounding and killing his guards, he took two men and ran off in that direction," the guard reported, pointing in a direction.
"And what about Madam Su? Is she with Su Renyi?" Xuan Yuanzhan asked again.
"No. They didn't have a carriage; each of them rode a horse. We didn't see Madam Su."
They had just specifically looked for Madam Su, but they couldn't find her.
Xuan Yuanzhan exchanged a strange glance with Su Xuening.
What's going on?
Even if Su Renyi wanted to run away, he couldn't possibly leave Madam Su behind!
"Your Highness, we caught two old women on the road."
Just as Xuan Yuanzhan and Su Xuening were wondering, Ye Yun and Ye Feng arrived with two old women, the same two women who had previously whipped Mu Junyu in the small wooden house.
The two old women panicked for a moment when they saw Xuan Yuanzhan and Su Xuening, then pretended to be stupid and asked, "Who are you people, and why are you arresting us?"
"Yes, we are just country women. Please, heroes, let us go! We know nothing!"
Su Xuening stared at the two old women, scanning them from head to toe, before trying to get off the carriage.
Xuanyuan Zhan turned around and helped Su Xuening down from the carriage.
Su Xuening walked up to the two old women: "Would any peasant woman call herself a country bumpkin? The shoes you're wearing are made of tribute satin, aren't they? A country bumpkin can afford to wear tribute satin, it must have been a gift from someone in the palace! And you, the handkerchief on your chest is made of soft, fragrant silk, that must have been a gift from someone in the palace too!"
As Su Xuening spoke, she grabbed one of the old women's hands and pinched her tiger's mouth, saying, "These are whip marks, aren't they? A peasant woman wields a whip every day? It's you two who whip my mother every day!"
Su Xuening's gaze was fierce, her eyes filled with resentment, as if she wanted to devour the two old women alive.
The two old women never expected to run into Mu Junyu's daughter here. Thinking of the scenes of the two women whipping Mu Junyu every day, they were terrified.
I've heard that this Holy King's Mansion is not to be trifled with; even Consort Su is wary of her!
They're doomed if they fall into her hands!
"Tell me, where is Madam Su!"
Ye Feng and Ye Yun immediately held knives to the necks of the two men.
The two old women looked at Su Xuening tremblingly, but refused to speak.
This one is not to be trifled with, and neither is the one in the palace. If they speak up, they're doomed.
"Tie these two old women to a tree and scrape off every piece of their fat!" Su Xuening's voice was calm, yet extremely sinister, as if it came from underground.
"Yes." Ye Yun and Ye Feng responded and immediately tied the two old women to the tree.
The two followed Su Xuening's instructions completely, immediately taking up knives and cutting flesh off their bodies piece by piece.
"Ah! Ah!"
The screams of the two old women echoed through the woods, as if they were having a contest.
With just two or three pieces of meat, both of them were already convulsing in pain!
By the time they had cut off ten pieces of flesh, their screams had weakened, as if they were about to die, their bodies soaked in blood and sweat.
Su Xuening looked sharply at the two of them: "It seems you really want to be executed by slow slicing. I didn't expect you to be so loyal to my aunt. I just wonder if it's worth it for you to die like this? Will she remember your kindness?"
As soon as Su Xuening finished speaking, an old woman weakly said, "This servant doesn't want to die! It hurts too much, please let this servant go!"
Su Xuening walked over and grabbed her by the neck: "Where is my mother?"
The old woman's face turned red from being choked, and she said in a hoarse voice, "She was just taken away by the Marquis of Yong'an!"
Su Xuening stared at her intently, then suddenly released her and shouted, "She dared to lie, kill her!"
At Su Xuening's command, Ye Yun immediately slit the old woman's throat.
A bloody head rolled directly to the ground, and the other old woman immediately wet herself in fear.
"Where is my mother?" Su Xuening stared at her and asked the same question.
The old woman was terrified and stammered, "She wasn't lying! That lady really was taken away by Lord Su! Really, I wouldn't dare lie, she really was taken away by Lord Su. Oh, and there was another maid, Lord Su's concubine, they left together!"
