Li Qingluo raised his hand to break free from Duan Rongshi's grip, but at that moment, a surprised voice came from the cliff behind him: "Your Highness! Your Highness! It's really Your Highness, and Miss Li, they are all here!"
"They are still alive, His Highness is still alive!!"
Zhuiyu, Shalei and Lengdian rolled and crawled down from the small cliff.
Li Qingluo struggled slightly, and Duan Rongshi also let go of his hand.
When Zhuiyu came up to them crying, the three of them knelt on one side in unison, and Li Qingluo quietly moved forward to increase the distance between them.
Zhui Yu wanted to hug Prince Su's legs.
He cried with snot and tears, "Your Highness, it's my fault for not doing my job well. I deserve to die. I only found Your Highness today. Woohoo... Seeing that Your Highness is okay, I feel relieved."
Sha Lei's eyes also turned red: "Your Highness, seeing that you are still well, it is worth it for me to die immediately."
Leng Dian kept nodding to show his agreement.
Even when Duan Rongshi saw them, his expression remained calm, and there was no emotion in his eyes.
He even just looked at them coldly and said, "Since you are here, tell me, where did those desperate assassins come from that night?"
Sha Lei: "Your Highness, I suspect they are all from the Lotus Sect."
When Li Qingluo heard about the Lotus Sect, his heart skipped a beat.
The Lotus Sect again?
Zheng Lingzhou's face popped up in her mind. Could it be that he was the one who did this again?
Zhuiyu quickly wiped away her tears.
"Your Highness, these people from the Lotus Cult have planned this out from the beginning!"
Duan Rongshi: "Then tell me how you came to this conclusion."
Zhui Yu: "They probably knew that the Nanping County Lord would hold a banquet at the horse farm in the suburbs, so they took advantage of the timing and location to lure us out of the city."
"Finally, we encountered the girls from the major aristocratic families returning home, so we had to split our attention and assign people to protect this side. As a result, they probably didn't expect Princess Qinyu to show up, and in the end, the princess's people also helped us, so the bloodbath was temporarily suppressed."
"But when these beasts saw that their plan was not going well, they suddenly changed their strategy and planned to capture all the girls to threaten us."
"Sha Lei and Princess Qin Yu worked together seamlessly and saved many girls."
"Of course, Miss Li also led Princess Nanping back to the stables and rescued all the other girls."
"But the prince is now alone. We, the subordinates, also thought that all the robbers we killed along the way had been eliminated, but we didn't expect..."
Duan Rongshi: "Is this the truth you deduced?"
Zhui Yu and others lowered their heads.
Duan Rongshi: "I am more inclined to believe that they pretended to be traitors from the beginning, and even their subsequent intrusion into the carriage of the noble ladies was all a cover. Their purpose that day was simple: to take my life."
Zhui Yu and the others felt a great pang in their hearts.
Leng Dian: "Later, when my subordinates and I rushed to the woods to rescue His Highness, we also encountered a group of Lotus Cult members. It seemed as if those Lotus Cult members were endless, and they kept appearing in waves."
"Your Highness should have killed hundreds of people, but I still can't count the number of people..."
"They've probably mobilized the entire sect this time. They're truly... targeting Your Highness!"
Zhui Yu: "I was foolish and fell for the evil cult's scheme, nearly endangering Your Highness's life. I beg Your Highness to punish me!"
Duan Rongshi: "No rush. What I want to know now is why Miss Li appeared in those woods that day."
"According to Zhui Yu, she had already rescued Princess Nanping. Why didn't she return to Jinling City in time under your escort?"
Li Qingluo: He wouldn't suspect that he has a connection with the Lotus Cult, right?
Li Qingluo immediately glared at Zhuiyu, who lowered his head in shame. "It was my fault. After Miss Li heard that the prince was injured, I saw that she was somewhat concerned about His Highness, so I took the initiative to ask her to deliver medicine to His Highness..."
"It was I who nearly killed Miss Li. Please forgive me, Your Highness!"
Duan Rongshi: "Is it me, the king, who you should atone for your sins?"
Zhui Yu then quickly turned around and bowed to Li Qingluo, saying, "Miss Li, I caused you to be in such danger and nearly lost your life. Please forgive me, Miss Li."
Li Qingluo: ...
Haha, haha.
When did she hear that Prince Su was injured and then express her concern?
Zhuiyu, you are really good at making up stories.
Li Qingluo narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Zhuiyu, smiling without saying a word. Zhuiyu was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.
Auntie, please spare my life!
In the end, Li Qingluo did not make things difficult for him.
He just said, "Mr. Zhuiyu, you owe me one."
Zhui Yu quickly said, "That's right, I'll be at your service someday and make it up to Miss Li."
Duan Rongshi: "Go back and chase the rain. You will receive the fifty-stick punishment."
How many?
Fifty sticks!!
Doesn’t that mean I can’t get out of bed for a month???
Zhui Yu had a sad face, but he still had to thank God.
Sha Lei on the side said: It was too dangerous, I almost got implicated by this dog again.
They had been delayed here for too long, and Duan Rongshi had been feeling a little dizzy since he woke up.
At this moment, he raised his hand to rub his forehead, and then slowly ordered: "Set off immediately and return to Jinling."
Zhui Yu and the other two responded: "Yes, we will obey your orders!"
Several more people jumped down from the cliff, holding soft weapons in their hands.
After Prince Su lay down, Zhui Yu immediately stepped forward and pulled down the veil, and then prepared to fly up with Prince Su lifted up.
Prince Su raised his hand to stop them.
He gently lifted the corner of the curtain and looked at Li Qingluo.
Seeing that she looked a little uncomfortable, but still lay down obediently, he lowered the curtain.
After the two of them were brought to the cliff edge, which was not high to begin with, another group of people came from the front.
"Cousin!" Princess Qinyu came again with a group of people.
When she saw that Prince Su was still alive, she ran over with a look of surprise and joy.
"Cousin! Great! You, you're still alive!"
