Chapter 334 She wants to take people by surprise.
Chu Ruohan caressed the fetus in her belly and comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid, baby, I won't let anyone hurt you."
In the darkness, she tried to stay calm and analyze her current situation.
Gu Chengyan pretended to be Prince Su, killed Concubine Jing, framed her and put her in prison.
At this moment, Gu Junze was surrounded by the imperial guards in the general's mansion.
The situation was more critical than she had imagined.
She raised her head and looked at the gloomy cell in the dim candlelight.
The damp stone walls, the rusty iron chains, and the seemingly indestructible prison door.
"Don't think this can trap me." She whispered to herself, with a plan already forming in her mind.
At this moment, footsteps were heard outside the prison door again, but much lighter than before.
Chu Ruohan looked up alertly and saw a thin eunuch cautiously appearing outside the fence.
"Mrs. Gu," he lowered his voice and looked around nervously, "Open the door and I will take you away."
Chu Ruohan didn't stand up immediately, but looked at the stranger cautiously: "Who are you?"
"I used to be a eunuch sweeping the Cining Palace, Li Wang. General Gu sent me to rescue you."
He took out a key from his pocket and opened the cell door with trembling hands.
Chu Ruohan remained alert: "Where is General Gu?"
Li Wang avoided her gaze and said, "The general is trapped in the mansion, but he has asked me to tell you to go to Shuiyue Temple for shelter. There are people there to help you."
Chu Ruohan still didn't move: "How do you prove that you are trustworthy?"
The young eunuch was sweating profusely as he pulled out a jade pendant from his bosom: "This is the general's token, you should recognize it."
Chu Ruohan took the jade pendant and examined it carefully.
It is a relic left by Princess Anyang, and Gu Junze will not give it to others easily.
"Let's go, ma'am! The guard change is almost here, and we have to hurry!"
Chu Ruohan nodded and followed Li Wang quickly through the dark and damp cell.
"The exit is just ahead." Li Wang pointed to a glimmer of light ahead. "There's a carriage waiting for you outside. It will take you directly to Shuiyue Temple."
Chu Ruohan looked around calmly, still feeling a little doubtful.
They passed through the narrow exit and saw a simple carriage parked in the night.
Chu Ruohan looked at the carriage in front of her and suddenly became alert.
She frowned slightly and stopped.
"Why didn't someone from the mansion come to pick us up?" she asked calmly.
If Gu Junze really wanted to send her away, given his meticulousness, he would definitely send Song Ruyan.
Song Ruyan is the person she trusts the most, and Gu Junze must know this.
Li Wang stamped his feet anxiously and said in a low voice, "The general's mansion is surrounded by the imperial guards. Not even a fly can fly out."
He explained eagerly, his eyes flickering a little.
"The general then tried every possible means to find this servant."
"Madam, time is running out, let's go!"
Chu Ruohan stood there, her feet seemed to have taken root, not moving a step.
She stared at Li Wang sharply, "Since it's impossible to escape, not even a fly can fly out."
"How did the news reach the palace and find you so accurately?"
Li Wang's face looked obviously ugly, with beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.
He secretly said it was troublesome. Mrs. Gu was indeed not as weak as she appeared.
Before he could make up a story, Chu Ruohan's voice rang out again, "Did Prince Su send you here?"
Apart from her and Gu Junze, only Gu Chengan had seen it.
There is another possibility.
That was in the previous life, Gu Chengyan had also seen him in the study of Marquis Anyang.
That's why he was able to replicate it perfectly.
Chu Ruohan's tone was very certain, "I was already imprisoned in the imperial prison, but Prince Su suddenly sent you here."
"Then there is only one possibility. Tonight, Gu Junze did send someone to rescue us."
A hint of coldness flashed in Chu Ruohan's eyes.
Gu Chengyan wanted to use his old trick again and put her under house arrest so that Gu Junze couldn't find her...
Li Wang's expression changed completely, and cold sweat slid down his temples.
His voice was sinister, "Mrs. Gu knows too much..."
Chu Ruohan's heart was filled with alarm, and she became more certain of her judgment.
Now, she is at an absolute disadvantage.
Although Li Wang was just a eunuch, he had a strong coachman beside him.
How can I run with a big belly?
Her eyes swept around calmly, finally landing on the rough wall on the left.
There was some rubble piled there.
Chu Ruohan slowly approached the left wall, her steps light and gentle, as if she was moving casually.
She wanted to take them by surprise.
Li Wang saw through her intentions, or rather, he no longer intended to pretend.
He pounced forward suddenly, and his skinny fingers grabbed Chu Ruohan's arm like an eagle's claws.
In a flash, Chu Ruohan bent down and picked up a sharp-edged stone.
She used all her strength to hit Li Wang's head hard.
There was a muffled "bang" sound.
Li Wang was completely unprepared. He felt a black screen in front of his eyes, and the warm liquid instantly covered his eyes.
The severe pain hit him, he felt dizzy and staggered back a few steps.
Now is the time!
Chu Ruohan turned and ran, subconsciously protecting her lower abdomen with one hand.
She ran desperately towards the only exit of the alley.
Li Wang covered his forehead where blood was flowing and roared at the driver who was standing there in a daze.
"Hurry up and chase after them!"
"If we mess up the job, neither of us will be in good shape!"
The driver finally reacted and started chasing after Chu Ruohan.
Chu Ruohan could hear the footsteps getting closer and closer behind her, heavy and rapid.
She ran as fast as she could, holding her belly. The heaviness of pregnancy made it difficult for her to breathe, and her legs felt like they were filled with lead.
Closer and closer.
Ahead is the exit of the alley.
The night wind blew on her cheeks, faster, just faster!
Once you get out of the alley and into a more crowded place, maybe you can call for help!
Just when hope was within reach, a strong hand suddenly grabbed her wrist.
A huge force came and pulled her to a stop.
Chu Ruohan was horrified and her heart almost jumped out of her chest.
It's over.
But the next moment, a swift black shadow flashed out from the side.
There was only a muffled "bang" sound, followed by a scream of pain.
The driver who caught her was kicked to the ground like a kite with a broken string. He curled up and groaned in pain.
Chu Ruohan's other wrist was grabbed by a warm and powerful hand.
She was still in shock and struggled desperately.
"Stop moving, it's me!"
A familiar voice sounded in her ears.
Chu Ruohan looked up suddenly.
In the dim light, the handsome yet anxious face came into view.
It’s Gu Cheng’an.
My heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.
Li Wang covered his head, looked at Gu Cheng'an who suddenly appeared, then looked at the coachman who fell to the ground, fear flashed in his eyes.
He and the driver were clearly no match for Gu Chengan...
