Time travel! The little princess came down the mountain and made a scene in the palace
Chapter 201 Su Zhiruo is rescued
It was already dark at this time. Chu Nanxi flew to the foot of the green mountain using light skills, and flew up the mountain by stepping on the treetops, shouting as she flew.
On the way, I saw the guards from the mansion holding torches and looking for Su Zhiruo.
"Young Master, why are you here?"
"I'm worried about Miss Su's safety."
"Young Master, it's dark in the mountains and dangerous, please be careful."
"You have to be careful too. If you encounter an animal you can't handle, scream. I will hear the sound and come to rescue you."
"Yes."
Chu Nanxi also lit a torch and continued to fly to the top of the mountain, calling Su Zhiruo's name as she went up.
However, Su Zhiruo was not destined to die. At the last moment, she climbed to the edge of the cliff with Qiu Shui's words echoing in her mind. Every word was piercing and she felt hopeless.
It was as if I could see the disappointed eyes of my parents and hear their reproachful words echoing in my ears.
Despair surged into her heart like a tide. She felt unable to bear such pain and self-blame. She closed her eyes tightly, tears rolled down her cheeks, and her body trembled slightly.
Suddenly losing all his strength, he staggered and jumped up, as if he wanted to escape from this endless pain and reunite with his parents and younger brother.
Ever since the merciless flood took away all her relatives and she became a refugee, the past few months in the Chu family made her realize what it means to live under someone else's roof and what it means to be cautious. She felt that she was too tired and it would be nice to just die without pain or worries.
He jumped down and was caught by a big tree, so he survived. Otherwise, he would have been dead if he jumped off the cliff.
Chu Nanxi searched for Su Zhiruo for a long time but couldn't find her. As time passed, he became more and more worried about Su Zhiruo's safety.
When he was overwhelmed with emotions, he heard a faint cry for help. He flew towards the source of the sound and with the help of the torchlight, he found Su Zhiruo stuck in a tree branch.
Chu Nanxi hurriedly picked her up and asked with concern: "Miss Su, how are you?"
She looked pale and spoke incoherently, "Mr. Chu...Mr. Chu, is this a dream? Did we meet in the dream? Am I dead or alive?"
Chu Nanxi heaved a sigh of relief when she heard her voice, "You are not dead, this is not a dream, but I almost died trying to find you."
Su Zhiruo opened her eyes with difficulty and looked at the person she loved deeply. Her heart was filled with complicated emotions. She thought she was dead, but she didn't expect to be saved by him. Then she showed surprise and despair.
She looked at Chu Nanxi quietly in the light of the fire, tears welling up in her eyes and her lips trembling slightly. She seemed to want to say something but didn't know where to start.
She said cautiously: "Master Chu...I..."
"Don't talk. You have injuries. I'll take you back to bandage them."
"I'm afraid... I'm afraid if I don't tell you now, I won't be able to tell you later."
"Why?"
"I don't have the courage... to say it... and I am too ashamed to face the young lady. You were so kind to take me in, but I turned my back on you. I can't face everyone, including my deceased family members."
Chu Nanxi frowned. Thinking of Song Liuli, who had given birth to children for her in the mansion, she felt that she was a bastard for having developed different feelings for another woman during her pregnancy.
Facing the pale and powerless Su Zhiruo, he was surrounded by guilt and looked at Su Zhiruo with mixed feelings.
Su Zhiruo's tears flowed down her cheeks, and she said intermittently: "I... I liked you the first time I saw you. At that time, you didn't want to marry me. I didn't want to restrict you, so I chose to fulfill your wish."
"I didn't expect that God would let us meet again. The love buried deep in my heart was out of control. I feel sorry for the kind-hearted young lady."
"But I can't suppress my love for you. I long to meet you. But seeing how you take care of the young lady, I envy her. I feel suffocated by the contradictions I am surrounded by every day."
"It's good to die like this. I can be reunited with my family and it won't hurt your wife."
After hearing what Su Zhiruo said, Chu Nanxi felt distressed and helpless. She couldn't give her any promises, but she couldn't bear to see her in so much pain. The bitterness in her heart surged up in her heart.
He could feel her feelings, a passionate and deep emotion, like a burning flame, but it was bound by the cruelty of reality.
Su Zhiruo's eyes revealed a kind of persistence and determination, and she seemed to be silently telling her inner desire. Chu Nanxi understood her inner struggle, and she herself was struggling in this emotional vortex and couldn't extricate herself.
He wanted to tell Su Zhiruo that he felt sorry for her as well, but he had to consider Song Liuli who was about to give birth in the mansion. The helplessness in his heart was like a heavy stone, pressing on him so hard that he couldn't breathe.
Chu Nanxi gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, "Don't talk, you are very weak now, you need to rest well."
He picked up Su Zhiruo and walked down the mountain carefully. The forest was silent at night, with only the sounds of their footsteps and their breathing.
Su Zhiruo fainted due to weakness.
The guards who were searching saw Chu Nanxi carrying Su Zhiruo down the mountain and they followed her down the mountain too.
It was already midnight and the city gates had long been closed, so he could only take Su Zhiruo to a room outside the city to bandage her wounds.
Everyone knew that Su Zhiruo was injured, so they quickly prepared a clean and tidy room for her, and Chu Nanxi gently put her on the bed.
He took out a bottle of golden wound medicine and handed it to the woman at the door, saying, "Bandage Miss Su's wound and take good care of her. Tell her not to think too much. Life is precious. I will come to see her when I have time."
"Yes."
He walked to the door and told Zhou Wen, "Stay here to prevent anyone from disturbing Miss Su's recovery."
"I obey my orders."
The city gates were closed, and the others stayed in a house outside the city for the night. Chu Nanxi was worried about the pregnant Song Liuli, so she quickly returned to the Chu family.
Song Liuli tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. When she heard footsteps, she pretended to fall asleep.
Chu Nanxi tiptoed to the bedside and saw that Song Liuli had fallen asleep. She looked at her back with mixed feelings and sat by the bed for a long time.
He whispered, "Wife, Su Zhiruo has been found. She is injured. I will take her outside the city to recover."
After saying that, Chu Nanxi left the room and sat in the study, thinking about what to do next.
Song Liuli was already in tears when she heard his words. She knew that Chu Nanxi already had a place for Su Zhiruo in her heart, but she didn't break that window paper because of her pregnancy.
