Holding Su Muyao, Deng Yi faced two Northern Li guards and had absolutely no chance of winning.
He couldn't call for help yet; if others found out, Su Muyao's reputation would be completely ruined.
At that point, Su Muyao will only have one option left: to marry the Prince Qin.
The guards gradually approached Deng Yi, who retreated step by step, sweat beading on his forehead.
"I am the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review of the Great Chu. If you harm me, the Great Chu will not let you off."
"How dare a mere Dali Temple Assistant trespass on our Prince's residence! We should be demanding an explanation from the Great Chu and have him released!" The guards were not afraid at all and pressed forward step by step.
"Put the person down, and we can spare your life. We'll pretend this never happened," a guard advised.
After all, they let Deng Yi in, so they also have to take responsibility. If the loyalist is blamed, no one will live.
Deng Yi had already retreated to the edge of the bed, with nowhere left to retreat.
He was already considering protecting Su Muyao and breaking out, even if it meant getting slashed a few times.
Ugh~
Suddenly, the two guards groaned and fell to the ground.
Su Ruojin and Su Yuanchuan barged in. When Su Ruojin saw the unconscious Su Muyao in Deng Yi's arms, her eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Su Yuanchuan hurriedly stepped forward and took Su Muyao from Deng Yi's arms.
Su Ruojin quickly took her pulse, fed her a pill, and the group quickly left the Qin King's tent.
Back at the Su family tent, Madam Su and Su Yunfeng were both there. When they saw Su Muyao being carried back by Su Yuanchuan, they hurriedly asked what had happened.
Su Ruojin sneered, "Someone is plotting against Mu Yao."
Su Yunfeng slammed his hand on the table, which instantly collapsed. "I'm going to settle accounts with Wanyan Lie!"
"Father, I'll go with you!" Su Wenzhou was also furious. How dare someone cause trouble right under the Su family's nose!
They had just gone to have some drinks with some soldiers who came to the bonfire banquet, and they never expected this to happen.
"Father, Third Brother, wait a minute," Su Jiu'an called out to stop them.
Su Yunfeng and Su Wenzhou looked at Su Jiu'an, who said, "This matter may not necessarily be the work of Prince Qin. If it gets out of hand, it won't be good for Mu Yao."
Su Ruojin also said, "Yes, Father, Third Brother, this was not done by Qin Wang."
How did you know that?
Su Ruojin sneered, "Because I know where Qin Wang is."
If Qin Wang did this, why didn't he wait in his tent for Mu Yao to come to him?
"Mother, eldest brother, third brother, let's go for a walk. Father, fourth brother, you stay here and watch over Mu Yao. Yan Luo, you stay here too," Su Ruojin said.
Yanluo nodded; she knew that her mistress had asked her to stay and take care of Muyao.
Madam Su grew anxious, "Xiao Jin, where are we going at this time?"
"Let's go see a good show, the more people the better."
Madam Su was at a loss, unsure of what her daughter was up to, while Su Yunfeng, on the other hand, calmed down from his initial rage.
He believed that Xiao Jin must have her reasons for doing this, and he comforted Madam Su, "Madam, let's listen to Xiao Jin and go for a walk."
Seeing her husband say this, Madam Su could only nod.
Su Ruojin whispered a few words in Madam Su's ear.
Madam Su was somewhat surprised. Although she didn't understand why Xiao Jin wanted her to do this, she nodded.
After going out, Madam Su would greet any lady from a prominent family she passed by and invite them to walk around together.
The men were drinking, and when Madam Su invited them to a gathering, the ladies of prominent families naturally wouldn't refuse, especially those with daughters.
When they saw that Su Jiu'an and Su Wenzhou were also with Madam Su, they seemed to understand something and quickly agreed with a smile, bringing their daughters along.
The area around the campfire is the most lively, but if you want to take a walk, you should go to a more secluded place.
The ladies chatted and laughed, some even giving each other meaningful glances, gesturing for their daughters to speak to the young master of the Su family.
The girls blushed and were too embarrassed to speak.
As the group slowly approached the tent on the east side, they suddenly heard a noise coming from inside.
"Mmm~ Ah~ Mmm~"
