There were some things he didn't want Luo'er to misunderstand.
Leng Dian hesitated but still told the truth: "Your Highness, the girl has discovered the truth."
"Moreover, an hour ago... he left the city from the Pei family dungeon... and now he's probably chasing after those people from the Great Chu Kingdom."
Duan Rongshi's expression suddenly changed, and he stood up in shock: "What did you say!?"
It's raining heavily outside.
How dare she chase Zongzheng Wuheng on such a night?
What made Duan Rongshi even more anxious was that she knew he had broken his promise to her...
She was probably extremely disappointed in him.
I don’t know what to think about.
When he thought of this, Duan Rongshi suddenly became anxious and his heart was in a panic.
Without caring about this side anymore, Duan Rongshi wanted to leave the city immediately.
"Luo'er..."
Seeing this, Leng Dian and Xia Duo hurriedly chased after him.
"Your Highness, this is absolutely not allowed—"
"Now that you're gone, Prince Jin and his men will undoubtedly take advantage of the situation and break into the palace. The situation we've managed to control with such great difficulty will fall apart."
"Your Highness, you have been making this move for more than ten years."
"Your Highness, you must think twice!"
"As for the girl, I will go out of the city to look for her."
"Even if I have to sacrifice my own life, I will definitely bring the person back safely for Your Highness!"
"Your Highness—"
Xia Duo and others knelt directly on the ground.
Beg desperately.
If the Wan family army came to knock on the palace gate at night.
But Duan Rongshi was not there at that time.
The situation will completely get out of control.
How could everyone be willing to endure for so many years and then give up halfway?
All the efforts will be wasted.
Duan Rongshi's steps were forcibly stopped.
He looked down at the people behind him.
If he lost control of his emotions today because of personal love and really abandoned everything and left the palace, these people would die because of him.
They have followed him faithfully for more than ten years.
It is the arm that Duan Rongshi must never give up.
He looked at Leng Dian and Po Feng.
"You will bring her back safely for me!"
"Consider this the king begging you."
Leng Dian said with tears in his eyes: "Don't worry, Your Highness!"
"Even if it means risking our own lives, the two of us will definitely protect the girl to the death!"
The rain only lasted one night.
The next day, the sky cleared up completely at dawn.
General Wan Lao of the Wan Family Army led 20,000 troops towards Nanjing.
When Duan Rongshi learned about it, he rode out of the city alone to greet him in person.
Soon, all the turmoil in Jinling City subsided.
The Wanjia Army and the Beitu Army did not fight each other.
Instead, they retreated to a place twenty miles away from Jinling City and camped together.
When General Wan followed Duan Rong, he only brought a few hundred people into the palace.
Emperor Yan was seen lying on the bed, unable to speak or walk.
He could only lie motionless on the bed, with one side of his mouth crooked and drooling constantly.
There seemed to be something in his eyes that he wanted to say.
General Wan stepped forward and knelt before Emperor Yan: "Your Majesty, I know, I know everything."
"Your Majesty, you were so heartbroken because the Crown Prince colluded with a cult to rebel that you contracted hemiplegia."
"Your Majesty, please take good care of yourself. I will help you select a prince who is truly dedicated to the country and the people, and temporarily relieve your worries."
"Your Majesty will surely get better."
Emperor Yan was so angry that his eyes turned bloodshot.
Tears fell down in big drops.
General Wan sighed and wiped his tears: "Your Majesty, why do you do this?"
General Wan will stay in Nanjing for a few more days.
Fortunately, Duan Rongshi finally had a moment to catch his breath, and he immediately called Zhui Yu over to him, "Did Leng Dian and the others send back any news?"
Zhui Yu knew he couldn't hide it.
Then he said, "Your Highness...the girl is missing!"
Duan Rongshi's eyes instantly seemed to be quenched with ice poison: "What do you mean missing?!"
"What are you doing?!"
Zhui Yu lowered his head. "When Leng Dian and the others chased us out, it was raining so hard that they only found traces of a fight in the woods twenty miles away."
"Then several broken bodies were found at the foot of the cliff."
"Fortunately, they are not girls! Those people from Da Chu are dead."
"Besides, there isn't a single corpse with those killing words."
"But..."
"It's just that the whereabouts of the missing girl and the murderers are unknown."
"Maybe it was washed away by the heavy rain overnight, so the trace was lost."
"Leng Dian and Po Feng haven't dared to rest for a moment. They have been looking for the girl day and night for two days..."
"But, it's still..."
The words that Zhui Yu couldn't utter turned into sharp blades, stabbing into Duan Rongshi's chest.
Duan Rongshi held his shaking head.
"It's all my fault..."
"It's all my fault. I lost her."
"Get out of the way—get out of the way!"
"I'm going to find Luo'er."
"This king will personally find her!"
"Nothing will happen to Luo'er, and nothing can happen to him!"
After he said that, he no longer cared about anything else, picked up his sword and rode out of the palace.
When General Wan came over, he only saw a shadow of a horse galloping across the long street.
So he asked curiously, "Where are you going in such a hurry, Your Highness Prince Su?"
The deputy general behind him said, "It seems that His Royal Highness Prince Su's future princess has disappeared."
General Wan was stunned when he heard this.
Then he laughed 'haha'.
"Look, even a tyrant like Prince Su can lose control of his emotions one day."
"It seems that he is not a truly ruthless person."
"Interesting."
As soon as he finished speaking, a young eunuch came to Ningshou Palace.
"General Wan, the Queen Mother invites you to the Ningshou Palace for a conversation."
