Pei Wenxuan carried Li Rong into the reed field. While the secret guards and Yang Quan's men were still fighting, he cut the horses' ropes and whipped them. The horses fled in two different directions. Pei Wenxuan fell to the ground with the unconscious Li Rong, not moving a single muscle.

By the time the two sides reacted, Li Rong had disappeared. They only saw something moving rapidly in the reeds. The two sides immediately found a direction to chase after it. Pei Wenxuan saw them chasing the horses, so he quickly stood up, carrying Li Rong and running all the way towards the dense forest in the distance.

Normally, he did not have such great strength, but at this life-threatening moment, he did not even feel that Li Rong was heavy. He ran very fast while carrying Li Rong, not daring to stop at all.

Li Rong slowly woke up on his shoulder. As soon as she woke up, she felt something poking her stomach and causing pain.

She hissed, Pei Wenxuan heard it and asked hurriedly, "Are you awake?"

Li Rong felt like vomiting because of his shaking. Her stomach hurt and she felt dizzy from the bumps and jolts. She said quickly, "Put me down!"

Pei Wenxuan confirmed that she was awake and immediately put her down. Without waiting for Li Rong to react, he dragged her forward and shouted, "Run!"

"Pei Wenxuan..." Li Rong had no idea what was going on. She was dragged by him through the dense forest. She said with a trembling voice, "I... I want to vomit..."

"Swallow it!"

Pei Wenxuan spoke decisively and explained: "There are pursuers behind us, we..."

Before she could finish her words, Li Rong vomited towards Pei Wenxuan with a "wow". Pei Wenxuan was quick to let go and jumped to the side. He saw Li Rong kneeling on the ground and then vomiting.

Pei Wenxuan was startled by Li Rong. He quickly looked around and confirmed that there were no pursuers. Then he walked to Li Rong's side, handed her a handkerchief, and frowned, "Are you okay?"

Li Rong wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, stood up gracefully, looked around, and then asked, "Where is this place?"

Pei Wenxuan was silent. Li Rong saw that he was silent and secretly thought that something was wrong. She frowned and said, "You don't know."

"I was running too fast just now," Pei Wenxuan said calmly, "I didn't pay attention to the road. I should be in the woods now."

"Nonsense!" Li Rong shouted, "Don't you know I'm in the woods? I'm asking you how to get out!"

"Wait for someone." Pei Wenxuan was immediately unhappy after being yelled at by her. He turned his head and walked forward and said, "Let's find a suitable place to rest first. There's no guarantee that Yang Quan's people won't come looking for us."

Li Rong heard this and felt that it made some sense, but she was unhappy when she saw Pei Wenxuan's droopy face. She was even more unhappy when she thought that she was injured and he was not. So she stood still. Pei Wenxuan took a few steps and saw that Li Rong did not follow him. He turned around and looked at her, frowning and said, "What's wrong with you again?"

"I have a headache."

Li Rong raised her hand to her forehead and sighed, "I can't walk anymore, oh."

"You have a headache, not a lame leg," Pei Wenxuan said subconsciously. However, after he finished speaking, he remembered where the injury on his head came from. He felt guilty for a moment, and his attitude changed 180 degrees. He coughed and said, "But it's not a small matter. I'll carry you."

As he spoke, Pei Wenxuan walked up to Li Rong and half-knelt down.

Seeing Pei Wenxuan's good attitude, Li Rong couldn't help but feel a little scared. She looked around Pei Wenxuan suspiciously, and after confirming that there were no traps, she climbed up carefully. Pei Wenxuan carried her on his back and walked forward in a direction. Li Rong saw that he seemed to have a direction in mind, so she couldn't help but ask, "Where are we going?"

"Find a water source first."

Pei Wenxuan spoke directly, and Li Rong couldn't help but laugh: "You also know where the water source is?"

"There are some ways," Pei Wenxuan explained patiently in the face of serious questions, "such as looking at the types of plants, growth density, terrain height, and clouds..."

Pei Wenxuan paused and said, "You know what to do with this. Anyway, it's not your turn to do this."

"You're right," Li Rong nodded. "This kind of thing is only something that people like."

"Li Rong," Pei Wenxuan took a deep breath, "Will you die if you don't speak properly?"

"I won't do that with others," Li Rong said with a smile, "but not with you. I just think that Master Pei looks better when he gets angry."

"Then you are sick."

Pei Wenxuan went straight over and said, "You're blind."

"How dare you," Li Rong said lazily as she lay on his back, "Do you think you have the right to speak to me like that? Apologize to me now!"

"You are still so arrogant even after leaving the palace," Pei Wenxuan sneered, "Do you believe me or not, I will just leave you here and wait for Yang Quan to find you, and see what you will do."

"You sound very scared," Li Rong raised her eyebrows. "Can he kill me? At most, he can marry me. With his short lifespan, can he survive this winter? I'm afraid he won't even see the New Year, and will go to the underworld to see the truth. By then, I will be a widow, and as soon as my father dies, I will immediately support him with a dozen or twenty guests. Wouldn't I be happy?"

"You are still thinking about keeping a guest official now," Pei Wenxuan sneered, "You are really something."

"Of course, I am optimistic," Li Rong said, sighing, "But to be honest, I didn't expect Yang Quan to be so smart. I sent two groups of people out, but he was able to guess my real route and set an ambush on the road. He is quite a remarkable person. How could he die so easily in his previous life?"

Pei Wenxuan: “…”

He was a little afraid to speak. Li Rong put her arms around Pei Wenxuan's neck and suddenly looked at him, asking in surprise, "Why are you here? Didn't you go home?"

Pei Wenxuan: “…”

He never lied in front of Li Rong, but now he didn't have the courage to tell the truth. Seeing that he didn't say anything, Li Rong couldn't help but laugh: "You didn't come back to save me, did you? Pei Wenxuan, you are a good dog."

"Speak less," Pei Wenxuan said awkwardly, "and save your energy."

"Why didn't I see you at first? Where were you hiding? You came to save me alone? No way, you are so..."

Before she even uttered the word "stupid", Li Rong suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Is Pei Wenxuan such a stupid person?

Even if he has no power now, would he rush over alone without any preparation and confront Yang Quan head-on?

And there is something wrong with Yang Quan too. If Yang Quan guessed her plan from the beginning and set an ambush for her on the road, then why didn't he just set up someone in front of her, but instead turned back from the back mountain to chase her?

Li Rong reacted, she couldn't help but tighten her grip, sneered and said: "Master Pei, I have something to ask you."

"I did it."

Pei Wenxuan knew that Li Rong understood, and immediately said: "But I can explain that I really want to help you. Those stones..."

“It all fell on me.”

Li Rong laughed angrily: "Pei Wenxuan, tell me the truth," she said with a deep breath, "Are you here for revenge?"

Pei Wenxuan was silent. Li Rong's anger rose. She tried to remain calm and said in a restrained voice, "Put me down."

Pei Wenxuan quickly put her down, and Li Rong walked forward angrily. She wanted to stay away from this man and was afraid of losing her composure.

Pei Wenxuan knew he was in the wrong, so he quickly followed and said, "I said I didn't want revenge, do you believe me? You didn't believe me either."

"Do you have any reason for me to believe you? I think you have no other options, no other way out, and you must want to marry me, but you can't bring yourself to do it, so you came up with this trick to have both sides win!"

Li Rong turned around, pointed at Pei Wenxuan, and said angrily: "You just can't bear to see me marry Lu Yu!"

"Why can't I see it?" Pei Wenxuan frowned and explained seriously, "You and I have nothing to do with each other. Who do you want to marry? Do I need to care?"

"It doesn't matter?" Li Rong sneered, "Do you think I don't know you? You just can't bear to leave me!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Pei Wenxuan was irritated by the word 'reluctant' and jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on. "I don't have you in my heart at all. If I'm reluctant, it's Zhenzhen. Don't you have any sense in your heart?!"

"Well, you actually dare to mention Qin Zhenzhen to me?" When Li Rong heard this person say 'Qin Zhenzhen', she immediately didn't care about hiding her identity and said directly, "If you like her, just marry her. Didn't you marry me in your last life? Yes, you don't like me, but you can't bear to give up my princess identity! Pei Wenxuan, you are really the most shameless, spineless, and shameless gigolo I have ever seen!"

"My gigolo?" Pei Wenxuan laughed angrily, "Do I have a gigolo like your Su Keqing? Li Rong, calculate it yourself. Apart from the time I relied on you at the beginning of our marriage, when did I ever rely on you for food? And at the beginning, we relied on each other. You gave me a career, so did I help your brother ascend the throne? Besides, did you use me less often later on? Without mentioning other things, just tell me whose money was used for the food, clothing and other expenses of your princess's mansion?"

"Then I really thank you," Li Rong laughed, "Thank you for giving me money every year to support my man. You are so generous. Why do you spend money on me? Don't you have any sense in your heart? If you were not my son-in-law, do you think my brother would trust you so much? I beg you not to flatter yourself. You are not giving me money to support me, so you are buying resources from me. Lord Pei, please wake up a little, okay?"

"Oh, I want to buy resources from you, but you use my intelligence network and my connections, and you don't give me a penny?"

"Then when you used my name to pressure others and asked me to persuade my brother, you didn't say anything?"

"Oh, His Majesty, has there never been a time when he was suspicious of you? When His Majesty argued with you and said that you were immoral and wanted to send you back to your fiefdom, who was it that came to ask me to intercede and act?"

"Your Majesty is my brother no matter what. When you were dragged out by His Majesty to be beaten with a stick, who asked me to go to Yu's study to ask for help?"

"How dare you say that? That year..."

The two of them went back and forth, swearing at each other, comparing old stories one by one, and they cursed for most of the night, both of them were panting.

Pei Wenxuan had been running with Li Rong on his back for so long and had walked a long distance with her on his back, so he was already exhausted.

Li Rong was a woman and had suffered some injuries, so she had no strength left.

The two of us were like two fighting chickens, you looked at me, I looked at you, and although we both had no strength left, neither of us was willing to admit defeat.

After a long time, Pei Wenxuan's stomach started to growl.

He crawled in the dirt for so long that he didn't have any dinner.

Pei Wenxuan froze when he heard the "cooing" sound. Li Rong finally found a step down the stairs. She rarely laughed at him and turned around and said, "Forget it. I'm tired. I'm going to rest first. You find something to eat. We can continue the quarrel after we finish eating."

"I think so."

Pei Wenxuan nodded and followed Li Rong.

After the two of them walked quietly for a while, Li Rong sighed, "I didn't expect you to come."

Pei Wenxuan was stunned for a moment, then he lowered his head and replied softly, "Yes, I'm back." As he spoke, he couldn't help but whispered, "Your Highness the Princess."
