The female supporting role is really here to mess things up
Chapter 43 Falling off the cliff
Lu Qingxi arrived at Fahua Temple early with full expectations, just to give Xiao Yuebai a surprise. When she appeared in Xiao Yuebai's sight, he could hardly believe his eyes, as if he was in a dream. He couldn't help but hold Lu Qingxi's hand, murmuring:
"Am I still dreaming? Why are you still wearing a veil? I want to see your face."
Lu Qingxi was embarrassed and amused by his actions. She gently pulled her hand back and said softly:
"I am real, you are not dreaming. I came here specially to pick you up." Xiao Yuebai finally woke up from her dream, a blush appeared on her face.
Afterwards, he took Lu Qingxi to taste the vegetarian food of Fahua Temple. Although the food was light, Lu Qingxi ate it with gusto, and the two had a good chat, sharing the interesting things they had experienced during their separation.
However, just as they were about to return to the city together, two teams of men in black suddenly appeared at Longmen Mountain. They were dressed in black, wearing headscarves and veils on their faces, and they looked aggressive. Seeing this, Xiao Yuebai's face darkened, and he immediately protected Lu Qingxi behind him.
Fortunately, Ying Yi and Ying Er had been following secretly, and Xiao Yuebai was also protected by a team of secret guards, so they could barely hold out for a while. The secret guards of the Prince's Mansion were ordered to only shoot arrows at Xiao Yuebai's hands and feet, and not to hurt others. Especially Ah Xu, seeing the woman wearing a veil hat, felt something was wrong, so he told everyone to avoid the woman. The secret guards of the Prince of Qi's Mansion were quite cruel, and their arrows were aimed directly at Xiao Yuebai's heart, intending to kill him.
Everyone gradually felt that it was difficult to resist, and at this moment, Wang Xu arrived at the scene. He saw the woman next to Xiao Yuebai, and his heart was shocked. He realized that the woman was Lu Qingxi, whom he had been thinking about. So, he joined the ranks of resistance without hesitation.
When Ah Jin saw Wang Xu coming, he was startled and immediately whispered to his men not to harm Prince Wang. The secret guards were very cautious when shooting arrows, and for a while the two sides were in a stalemate.
A Jin was extremely anxious. He saw that Xiao Yuebai was agile and it was difficult to hit him, so he aimed at Lu Qingxi. Wang Xu recognized A Jin and paid more attention to him. When he saw A Jin shooting an arrow at Lu Qingxi, he stood up without hesitation and blocked the arrow with his knife. However, the secret guards beside A Jin also took the opportunity to shoot a few arrows. Wang Xu knew that he had no time to dodge, so he subconsciously used his body to block the arrows for Lu Qingxi.
Seeing his young master injured, Ah Ye rushed over to help him up and pulled him aside. However, Wang Xu struggled to stand up and pushed Ah Ye into the crowd, asking him to continue to help resist. He was hit by three arrows in the chest, and blood stained his clothes red, but his eyes were firm and brave.
When Ah Jin saw this scene, his heart was throbbing. He had already injured Prince Wang, and if he failed to complete the task, he would not be able to explain to the prince. So, he continued to shoot at Lu Qingxi and Xiao Yuebai fiercely.
Xiao Yuebai dealt with the fierce arrows while protecting Lu Qingxi tightly. He had blocked several arrows for Lu Qingxi, and his clothes were stained with blood. Seeing the three arrow wounds on Xiao Yuebai's shoulder, Lu Qingxi's eyes were filled with tears.
Ah Jin took a few steps out, trying to shoot Lu Qingxi. However, Lu Qingxi leaned sideways, and the arrow hit her veil, which fell off. Wang Xu stared blankly at the face of his beloved, a smile appeared on his face, and he whispered softly: "You are more beautiful than I imagined."
The secret guards were stunned when they saw Lu Qingxi's appearance. Especially Ah Xu, he recognized this woman as the one in the painting in the prince's study! Oh my God! The second girl of the Lu family is actually the prince's sweetheart!
At this moment, a secret guard quietly approached A Xu. He was a spy specially arranged by Concubine Duan. He whispered to A Xu: "A Xu, who is this woman? Why do we have to be so careful with her?"
Ah Xu's mood was mixed. He thought that the secret guard had forgotten that the prince had asked them to find this girl, so he answered directly: "This girl is the prince's beloved daughter, Lu Qingxi, the second daughter of the Lu family."
However, he never expected that the secret guard would make such a surprising move after hearing this answer. The secret guard's face instantly became gloomy. He secretly stood up, pulled out a sharp arrow from his back, and aimed at Lu Qingxi.
Ah Xu noticed something was wrong, and just as he was about to open his mouth to warn him, it was too late. The secret guard had already loosened his fingers, and the arrow shot towards Lu Qingxi like an arrow from a bow.
Ah Xu shouted in horror: "Be careful!"
Xiao Yuebai was focused on defending his right side before, so he couldn't react in time and could only use his body to block. The arrow hit him in the chest, and the huge impact made him fall backwards.
Seeing this, Lu Qingxi was terrified. She quickly reached out to pull Xiao Yuebai, but they both fell off the cliff.
The moment Lu Qingxi and Xiao Yuebai fell, the scene was in deathly silence. Everyone was filled with an indescribable fear, as if the whole world had lost its color. Wang Xu was shocked, and the pain from the arrow wound in his chest intensified. He blacked out and fainted. Seeing this, Ah Ye hurried forward to support his young master, and hurriedly took him away to find a doctor for treatment.
A Jin witnessed all this and secretly rejoiced in his heart, knowing that he had completed the mission. He quickly summoned the secret guards to retreat, not wanting to stay here for long. A Xu was furious to the extreme, staring at the secret guard who shot the arrow and roared in a low voice: "Look at what you have done! How am I going to explain to the prince!"
However, at this moment, the secret guard suddenly took out a token from his pocket and showed it to Ah Xu. It was a token from the palace of Concubine Duan, with exquisite patterns carved on it, showing its noble status. The secret guard looked at Ah Xu calmly and said, "Guard Xu, follow me and the secret guard to see Concubine Duan first."
Ah Xu was stunned. He didn't expect that the secret guard would actually take out Concubine Duan's token. He was panicked and didn't know what to do. But he also understood that the prince couldn't disobey Concubine Duan, and he couldn't resist. So he took a deep breath, nodded, and led the secret guards to Concubine Duan's palace.
Wuhen, Yingyi and others who were left behind were about to collapse. They could not accept that Lu Qingxi and Xiao Yuebai had just disappeared before their eyes. In the end, Wuhen was the first to react. He quickly went to Gu's house and called more people to help search. He knew that time was running out and they had to find them as soon as possible to ensure their safety.
Not long after, the Duke's Mansion and the Shangshu Mansion both learned about Lu Qingxi's fall off the cliff. When Song Yi heard the news, he felt dizzy and an indescribable panic surged in his heart. He couldn't imagine that such a terrible thing happened after he hadn't seen his cousin for just half a day. He hurriedly asked the people in the mansion to keep it secret from Madam Song to prevent her from worrying too much. Then, he hurried out and looked for Lu Qingxi everywhere, his heart full of anxiety and uneasiness.
When Lu Xingmu heard the news, he was stunned for a few seconds, but a secret joy rose in his heart. He thought of what the prince said, "one rises while the other falls", maybe this is a good thing for him. But on the surface, he still pretended to care and sent a few servants out to look for Lu Qingxi to deal with those who might come to him to ask questions.
At the same time, Xue Ji in the General's Mansion also learned the news that Lu Qingxi fell off the cliff. He was frantic and couldn't believe this fact. He frantically sent people to the bottom of the cliff to look for Lu Qingxi, fearing that she had met with an accident. Su Qi, who was also recuperating in the General's Mansion, showed a gloomy expression. When he thought of how much pain Wang Xu was in now, he felt extremely happy.
The news spread quickly in the capital, causing an uproar. People were talking about it and speculating about the reasons and truth behind the incident.
