After fetal transfusion: Huang Ama, your royal mausoleum has been stolen

The resistance coming from my hands is getting stronger.

Chu Shijie tried to pull it several times but almost couldn't budge it.

Behind them were people who could catch up at any moment.

This made him even angrier, and he slapped her across the face.

Xiao Yun, who was still struggling, fell to the ground like a withered leaf in the wind, stirring up a cloud of dust in the tunnel.

Chu Shijie's patience ran out, and he pointed at her nose and shouted angrily, "You're not leaving? Who do you think you are? Do you think you have the right to say no?"

Who do you think that guy you tricked into kidnapping is? He's a member of the imperial family who grew up right under the noses of the capital. His brother is even a high-ranking official, and he's out there with his men blocking our way.

Aren't you leaving?

"Sure, if you don't want to leave, no one's forcing you. I want to see if you'll survive in the hands of those people."

After saying this, Chu Shijie turned and left.

He didn't even spare a glance for the person on the ground.

Xiao Yun was first knocked to the ground by him, and then she was so frightened by his words that she curled up in the corner and dared not make a sound.

Now that she saw that the other party was really going to abandon her, and thinking about everything she might encounter if she stayed behind, she suddenly got up and rushed towards Chu Shijie, "No! No, no, don't leave me, I'll go with you."

She was completely terrified.

The unknown fear behind her drove her to desperately grasp at the "lifeline" in front of her, even though she had betrayed it before.

But she couldn't think about it anymore.

Chu Shijie was prepared and reached out before the other person could pounce, firmly pulling him up.

It wasn't that he suddenly had a change of heart, but rather that this person knew far too much.

If it falls into the hands of someone else, it would be a considerable problem for him.

To be on the safe side, it would be better to take them with us and leave first.

This time, the group finally managed to leave Willow Alley safely through the tunnel.

……

On the other side, the group that had evacuated ahead of time did not slow down their pace even with Xi Rui as a burden.

They arrived at a safe area well before the flames engulfed the courtyard.

As everyone panted heavily, they looked back at the direction filled with firelight.

"Damn it, where did things go wrong? Could someone have leaked the information?" Only after confirming that the surrounding environment was safe did the young prince angrily curse.

They ran as fast as they could, worrying about the many obstacles ahead and the people behind them who might catch up at any moment, making them extremely disheveled.

The young prince felt that he had never experienced anything like this in his entire life.

This is a disgrace to him!

Exhausted, he slumped against the wall, his eyes filled with venom as he said, "You'd better not let me find out that someone is betraying me, otherwise... humph!"

He wasn't a fool like Chu Shijie who could tolerate being betrayed.

They even considered taking the person back in the end.

I really don’t know what to say.

Thinking this, his gaze unconsciously swept over the group of people following him.

With each scan of a person, you can see their body instantly tense and stiffen.

This made him even more suspicious of everyone, and his tightly furrowed brows remained unresolved.

It was also pitiful for the people following him; they not only had to try to calm their own breathing, but also had to rack their brains to think of ways to say more nice things.

While reassuring the master not to overthink things, it's also to reduce the suspicion that falls on oneself.

Meanwhile, Xi Rui, who had been carried the whole way, was now able to lie comfortably on the wooden plank, watching their infighting with amusement.

【Hmph~Hmph~】Xi Rui hummed an unknown tune in her heart, her previous tense mood completely changed.

Even the various noises around you can be listened to as background music.

If we're talking about who leaked this information, who else could it be but her?

[Tch~ Serves you right for disgusting me. Let's see if you still have time to think about that nonsense now.]

With the system at her disposal, contacting Xue Jing and the others was incredibly easy for her.

After listening to the enemy's various schemes, Xi Rui decisively gave the order to charge to the guards outside.

Xi Rui knew that the other party's target had always been only her.

So, now that she is under their control, the most likely course of action they would take in the impending risks is to temporarily avoid confrontation with her.

This is exactly what she wanted to see.

At least, "Have you found Qingque and the others?" Xi Rui asked in her heart.

Xue Jing, carrying a torch and moving about the courtyard, was the first to respond, "I've found the room you mentioned, but that's where the fire is strongest. We need to extinguish the fire first before we can get close."

Xue Jing couldn't help but sigh as he smelled the strong tar odor permeating the air.

The ignition location chosen by Chu Shijie did indeed play a certain role.

At least they can't just stand by and watch the people inside be burned alive without doing anything, can they?

Even the slightest hesitation has served to buy time.

Moreover, Xue Jing looked around at the fact that at least half of the people who had stayed behind to fight the fire were still there.

They knew that the other party's scheme had succeeded more than halfway.

"Fourth Master has taken the others to chase after you," Xue Jing said truthfully.

If it were up to him, he would definitely want to go find Xirui himself.

Unfortunately, Xi Rui personally entrusted him with the heavy responsibility of saving lives.

Hearing Xi Rui say, "I'm worried about Fourth Brother and the others, so I can only ask you for help. Please, you must rescue Qing Que and the others,"

Xue Jing's psychological defenses collapsed instantly.

In times of crisis, the person Xi Rui can trust the most is himself. What could be more reassuring for him than this realization?

So, in the end, he could only watch helplessly as Yinzhen and the others chased after them towards the tunnel entrance.

Xi Rui had no idea that her words would make Xue Jing think of so many things.

However, these were indeed her true feelings.

To her, Qingque and the others were not only loyal servants, but also close friends. She could not knowingly fail to lend a helping hand when they were in deep danger.

But Yinzhen and others were different.

In their eyes, the lives of a few servants could never compare to those of Xi Rui.

Knowing that Xirui had been robbed, it was already a favor that they didn't take their anger out on the people who had followed her.

Not to mention that some of our manpower also needs to be spared to rescue them.

The only person Xi Rui could ask for help from was Xue Jing.

She can guarantee her own safety; in the current situation, Qingque and the others need help more than she does.

Especially since Qingque and the others were all injured to some extent, Xirui was really worried and had to tell Xue Jing to remember to call a doctor for them as soon as possible.

Seeing that she was only concerned about others, Xue Jing almost laughed out of exasperation. "You should ask Liu Liu to help you locate them first. Meeting up with Fourth Master and the others is the most important thing."

Even though he was entrusted by her to stay and save people, Xue Jing still couldn't help but worry about Xi Rui's safety.

He couldn't stand her acting as if she didn't care about him at all, but was concerned about others.
