"A-Luo! I'm here to worship Buddha, don't talk nonsense!" Xueying suddenly interrupted A-Luo to stop her from continuing.
A Luo glanced at Xue Ying in surprise, then stopped talking.
"How did you know I was being chased?" Hongli asked Xueying after hearing A'luo's rebuke.
Xueying looked at the doubt and questioning in Hongli's eyes, and her heart sank little by little. Little did she know that Prince Yong had already made the decision for him to marry her as a concubine.
"Ulanara Xueying, I'm asking you, how did you know I was being chased, and how did you know I would appear here!" Hongli had been suspecting that the people chasing him might be related to the Fourth Prince Consort, and seeing Xueying appear here at just the right time only intensified his suspicions.
Xueying held back her sobs and looked at Hongli expectantly: "Fourth Prince,..."
Xueying tried to calm Hongli down, but Hongli grabbed her arm, twisted it, and put his hand around her neck, while using his sword to block her neck with his other hand.
Ah Luo screamed in fright, covering her mouth as she watched everything in terror.
The servant who was driving the horse drew his sword, but Zhao Kuangxun disarmed him and forced him to the side of the carriage, where he dared not move.
He turned to A-Luo and threatened, "Shut up! If you don't want anything to happen to your princess, keep quiet!"
Ah Luo immediately shut her mouth and trembled.
Xueying felt the chilling edge of the blade against her neck. She stiffened in fear and looked at Hongli sideways: "Fourth Brother! Why don't you believe Xueying? Didn't you see what Xueying did?!"
That's good too. I pretended to be sad and let him use me to get into the city. When Kunjie saw that I was being held hostage, he didn't dare to make any rash moves. I can also give my father an explanation when I go back!
Hongli looked at Xueying in his arms and was slightly moved, but the horse was suspected of melting away.
"How did you get out of the city? It seems like you knew I was here! Tell me! Were you sent by your father and aunt to hunt me down?" Hongli stared into Xueying's eyes and said.
"I didn't know you were here. I'm on my way to Huangjue Temple!" Xueying said with a mocking laugh. "Fourth Prince, you're really just being presumptuous!"
Hongli felt a surge of anxiety. He had a sliver of hope that Xueying had truly come to save him, but now he was hearing from this woman that he had been deluding himself!
Damn it! That cunning woman! She really did say she liked me just to ruin my relationship with Hongzhou!
Zhao Kuangxun suddenly said, "Fourth Prince, we can take advantage of her entering the city. The gatekeeper in the capital is her cousin, Ulanara Kunjie. If he sees that we have abducted this princess, he should not dare to make any rash moves. Once we are in the city and at the Yong Prince's residence, it will not be too late to explain to them."
Hongli nodded, loosening his grip on Xueying's neck. He whispered to Xueying, "Don't move. I won't hurt you! I'll just have to trouble you to lead us into the city."
Xueying's heart softened, and she wanted to tell him that she had come to save him, but then she thought of her family, and the words stuck in her throat. No matter what, she couldn't let Hongli know that the people chasing him were sent by her father.
Father, Father, you had already agreed to Prince Yong's marriage proposal, so why did you still want to kill him!
Hongli and Xueying got into the carriage together, while Zhao Kuangxun pretended to be the coachman. A'luo sat with him on the carriage shaft. The original coachman was tied up, gagged, and thrown into the field by the roadside.
