I deliberately stated this condition because I estimated that Yu Shaoqing and the others would arrive soon, and since I had left marks along the way, finding me should be easy.
Upon hearing this condition, the men in black laughed, because several hundred meters was nothing to them; they could easily cover it with a single leap.
They readily agreed, saying, "Alright, we'll do as you say!"
Xiu Niang's eyes followed me intently, hot tears dripping onto the snow.
I smiled and said, "Don't forget, you promised me!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" The little eunuch rushed over, a thin layer of snow covering his red cotton-padded coat.
"What's the matter that you're in such a panic?"
"The men sent out by Prime Minister Su reported that they have not found His Highness Prince Anyang!"
He breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this: "Isn't that a good thing? Why are you so flustered?"
"This servant is afraid that Prime Minister Su's men might secretly harm the Prince of Anyang..."
He didn't say what he was going to say, but Ye Liming was just as worried.
He clenched his fist tightly: "He is the Prince of Anyang, I trust him!"
At this moment, the young eunuch asked again, "What about Consort Mo?"
"Have someone secretly take good care of Consort Mo's health. If anything goes wrong, I will hold you responsible!"
"Yes! This servant obeys!"
There's a saying that the most heartless people are those in the imperial family, but this is only a last resort under the pressure of power struggles.
High atop the mountain, there were signs of a battle, and the sounds of fighting could be heard intermittently.
The two figures, one in purple and one in green, fought relentlessly day and night.
Fan Feng made a deal with Ye Lisheng: if Ye Lisheng won, he would reveal the truth about Su Xiang's collusion with the Lan Yi people.
What he didn't know was that while he was risking his life for others, some people would give their lives for you.
I tried to delay the journey as much as possible, while Xiu Niang ran further and further away according to my instructions.
The rushing river water sent a chill down my spine.
"We've arrived. Hand over the imperial edict!"
I gave each of them a fierce look, trying to memorize their faces.
The man retorted fiercely, "What are you looking at? Hand it over right now!"
"You really want it?" I asked.
They all drew their swords: "Don't try anything funny!"
I tossed it casually, and the imperial edict traced a perfect parabola in the sky before finally falling to the ground.
They picked it up as if it were some treasure, eager to verify it.
Just as he was about to open it, another person snatched it away: "Why are you so slow!"
Then someone else snatched it away, saying, "Let me take a look!"
They were grabbing at it from one end of the way, and almost came to blows.
Seeing this, I quickly and quietly circled around to the back and tried to escape.
Suddenly someone cursed, "Damn it! It's fake!"
I was spotted, so I quickened my pace: "He's trying to get away!"
Xiu Niang scrambled and crawled away, pointing in the direction I indicated.
Two voices sounded from ahead
"Miss!"
Okra!
As if she had seen a glimmer of hope, her eyes sparkled, and she shouted at the top of her lungs, "I'm here!"
Upon hearing the sound, Yu Shaoqing and Ling Ran rushed over and immediately saw Xiu Niang kneeling on the snow.
"Where is she?" Yu Shaoqing asked.
As if she had just escaped death, Xiuniang cried and said, "To save me, he claimed that the imperial edict was in his possession and lured those men in black away!"
Yu Shaoqing was so angry that the veins on his forehead bulged and his hands trembled.
"Ling Ran!"
"Your subordinate is here!"
"You protect her safety and return to the spirit realm to clear the name of the Prince of Anyang!"
"And you?" Ling Ran asked.
"I'm going to find her!"
"I'll go with you to look for it!"
"No way!" he refused outright.
"Her life was saved by okra; we must ensure Xiu Niang's safety!"
Ling Ran endured the pain and said, "Yes, sir!"
