This proves that they are about to be saved!
Gu Jiangli followed behind them so that she could see the prince as soon as possible.
She had Lotus stay on the outside so that she could immediately assist after the person was rescued.
Before long, the excavated tunnel opened up, and the scene inside could be clearly seen.
Gu Jiangli poked his head out and peered inside through the small opening.
"Your Highness! Your Highness! Are you inside?"
Everyone was startled when they heard her call him "Your Highness".
No one considered her true identity; they simply assumed she was a relative of one of the missing workers.
However, at this moment, people began to have some doubts about her identity.
Why would the relatives of an ordinary worker care about a prince at a time like this?
At that moment, a deep and powerful voice came from inside.
"Your Highness?! What are you doing here?! It's dangerous here! Go back quickly! I'm fine!"
The urgent voice relieved Gu Jiangli.
“I know, I believe Your Highness will be alright. You haven’t seen your child yet, you won’t bear to leave us, mother and child.”
"Mother and child? You...you're already..."
Gu Jiangli shook her arm slightly, and the child in her arms giggled.
This sound was more beautiful than the crisp sound of any precious jade artifact colliding in the world.
"Your Highness, did you hear that?"
Prince Yu smiled through his tears, "I heard you, I heard you. My princess, I'm not by your side... You've suffered so much, you should go back now."
"I want to go back with the prince."
The conversation between the two left the group of people digging the mountain stunned for a while.
The little boy gaped, "You...you're the princess?!"
The old craftsman was so frightened that his face turned pale.
The thought of those treasonous words he had just uttered in front of the princess made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
"Alright, forget about who I am for now, hurry up, we're almost there."
After learning her identity, they dared not be negligent and took her more seriously than ever before.
The wall had been broken through, and there were about seven or eight people inside, all covered in dust and dirt, but fortunately none of them were seriously injured.
There was also a boy, probably around ten years old, sitting next to Prince Yu with a somber expression. Gu Jiangli immediately recognized him as the Crown Prince.
The craftsmen behind him rushed toward the prince and the trapped people, carefully examining their injuries.
Prince Yu swiftly embraced Gu Jiangli, then helped her find a comfortable position to lean against him.
"That's too risky. You just had a baby, how could you do something so dangerous?"
Gu Jiangli chuckled, "Your Highness, it wasn't me who wanted to come; it was him."
She nudged the child toward Prince Yu, who, at a loss, held the child in his arms, his eyes overflowing with tenderness.
"This is...my child..."
"Yes, it is your child, Your Highness."
Then, Gu Jiangli smiled and looked at the ten-year-old prince.
She spoke again: "It's a boy, a boy who can inherit the throne."
Gu Jiangli's words were like a powerful firecracker, instantly freezing the thirty-odd people in the cave into stiff as wooden stakes. One of the injured, who had just been helped up, froze completely upon hearing these words.
Prince Yu was still immersed in the joy of having a son and had not yet come to his senses.
"What...position?" Did he mishear?
Gu Jiangli smiled and repeated, "The throne."
After he finished speaking, everyone broke out in a cold sweat, more than they had sweated while digging the mountain!
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit strange, Gu Jiangli pretended to be flustered and said:
"Oh dear, I'm sorry, I forgot, the Crown Prince is still here!"
Crown Prince: "?"
