As soon as the words fell, two dark shadows suddenly broke into the coroner's office. Their fingers curled like hooks as they lunged towards Liu Rumei.
Ning Yan'er grinned ferociously. "Don't even dream of being saved. This princess will surely make you disappear without a trace today."
She knew that Mo Liandi had placed secret guards beside this slut. That was why she had made thorough preparations! No matter what, she was going to get rid of this bitch today!
Liu Rumei's eyes suddenly turned cold. She never expected this woman to act so blatantly!
At this moment, Ye Zhe, who was hidden in the dark, was entangled with several people. Ning Yan'er had really come well - prepared this time, bringing quite a number of people.
Seeing that the two dark shadows were about to reach Liu Rumei, Ye Zhe gritted his teeth, spun on his heels, and blocked in front of her.
"Princess, leave quickly."
Fortunately, it was him who had come today. Yun Xi, Yun Li, and Sixi had already left. Otherwise, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to protect so many people.
Seeing Ye Zhe suddenly appear, jealousy welled up in Ning Yan'er's heart and rushed straight to her head. It was him!
Ye Zhe was Mo Liandi's guard. Naturally, she had seen him before! The two of them were often inseparable.
But she never thought that Mo Liandi would actually let Ye Zhe protect this woman!
Liu Rumei, what on earth is so good about you?
Ye Zhe's appearance only strengthened Ning Yan'er's determination. She definitely couldn't let these two escape.
A cold light flashed across Liu Rumei's eyes. She originally thought this woman would only resort to petty tricks in the dark, but she never expected her to be so cruel and ruthless.
Ye Zhe was secretly anxious. It was obvious that Ning Yan'er had come fully prepared. If they delayed any longer, he and Liu Rumei might really end up staying here.
Just as he was in a dilemma, a sudden noise came from outside the door.
A moment later, Mo Litian's figure appeared in everyone's sight. "What are you doing!"
His gaze quickly fell on Ning Yan'er, his eyes filled with malevolence. "How dare you! Does the Marquis of Huaiyuan's Mansion want to rebel?"
How dare they act so openly in the capital!
Seeing this, Liu Rumei suddenly let out a sigh of relief. But before she could fully exhale, Ning Yan'er's shrill voice came from beside her. "Take them all away for this princess!"
The Queen Qi had fallen from power. Mo Litian was probably going to be implicated too. Now that he had discovered this, she might as well go the whole hog!
Otherwise, it would only be herself and the entire Marquis of Huaiyuan's Mansion that would end up dead!
Seeing Ning Yan'er's hideous and terrifying face, the three of them felt a chill run down their spines. Mo Litian never expected Ning Yan'er to be so bold.
Liu Rumei was quick - witted and quickly said, "You should leave quickly!"
For now, someone had to go and send a message for help!
The government officials were taking a long time to come. It was likely that the people from the Marquis of Huaiyuan's Mansion had interfered. They had come with so many people and chosen such a good timing. It was probably the Marquis of Huaiyuan's intention.
Mo Litian quickly came to his senses. A chill instantly enveloped his body. A soft sword appeared in his hand out of nowhere as he mercilessly took lives.
Liu Rumei was secretly anxious. Suddenly, she felt dizzy and light - headed. Ye Zhe and Mo Litian also noticed something was wrong.
Ning Yan'er's eyes were full of mockery. "Let's see how you can escape this time!"
Since she entered the coroner's office, she had secretly put some sleeping pills. This time, she was going to make sure this woman couldn't escape!
After about a cup of tea's time, Ye Zhe and Mo Litian finally couldn't resist the effects of the drug and fell to the ground.
In a hazy state, they only saw Ning Yan'er's hideous face.
...
When Liu Rumei woke up, it was completely dark all around with no trace of light. A gentle breeze blew in, but in this darkness, it made people feel inexplicably scared.
"You're awake?"
The gentle voice made Liu Rumei slightly stunned. After her eyes finally adapted to the darkness, she could barely make out the man sitting opposite her.
"Yes. Where is this?"
Her eyes shifted, and her gaze fell on Ye Zhe, who was sitting quietly beside her. "Are you okay?"
"Princess, don't worry. The prince will find us soon." He never thought that the Marquis of Huaiyuan's Mansion would have the audacity to openly attack the princess!
Mo Litian looked a bit dejected. "Sorry, I couldn't help you."
Hearing the faint sense of dejection in his voice, Liu Rumei let out a soft sigh. "Why did you come to the coroner's office?"
Mo Litian pursed his lips and said indifferently, "I just happened to pass by."
His mother and father were his mother's murderers. He didn't know what to do for a moment and didn't want to stay in the palace. Somehow, he ended up at the coroner's office and just happened to encounter this.
"He... will come to save you."
For some reason, even though Mo Liandi was the one who caused all this, he just couldn't bring himself to feel any hatred.
Liu Rumei was slightly stunned, then pursed her lips and said, "I know."
For a moment, the dark hut fell into silence again.
Mo Litian was actually quite grateful for the darkness, which allowed him to look at the unreachable person without restraint.
It was only now that he understood that Mo Liandi had done this to completely extinguish his feelings.
A son of a maid, even if he was dressed in gorgeous robes, could never hide his low - status identity. How could someone like him be worthy of her?
Mo Liandi really did go to great lengths.
"One should not be constrained in life. Being free and unrestrained is the best. One's birth does not determine everything."
Moreover, although Queen Qi and Mo Yun had killed Lianyi, they had never intended to harm Mo Litian. No matter what Queen Qi had done to obtain the position of crown prince, Mo Yun had given it to him and never laid a finger on him.
The sudden words made Mo Litian slightly stunned. He looked at Liu Rumei in disbelief. "Are you talking to me?"
After all, it was his mother who had spread those rumors and was behind Chu Huaikang. Didn't she blame him?
Liu Rumei said indifferently, "You are you, and Queen Qi is Queen Qi."
Although Queen Qi had attacked her many times, Mo Litian was completely unaware and had even protected her with his life. She, Liu Rumei, was not an ungrateful person. She would always remember this kindness.
Mo Litian was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled. "Thank you."
He never liked being trapped in this gilded cage. He knew his father's character well. As long as the army wasn't found, his father wouldn't harm his mother. As for his mother... maybe staying in the cold palace was the best thing for her.
Thinking of this, he let out a long sigh, his eyes full of helplessness.
Ye Zhe quietly guarded beside Liu Rumei, showing full intention to protect her.
"If there's a chance, the two of you should leave quickly. Don't worry about me! I'll only be a burden."
