The Prince Consort's Beloved

The fortune teller slapped Li Youan's hands. Li Yuanrou and Daya came up to pry his hands apart. A little monk ran in from outside and joined the rescue.

Li Yuanrou said anxiously, "An'er, let go. Let's destroy this temple, except for the God of Wealth Temple."

Li Youan's hands were pried apart by several people, and Li Yuanrou held him tightly, not letting him move at all.

The fortune teller looked at the furious young man in horror, coughing violently but not forgetting to pray for a chance to survive: "Little donor, don't be upset or impulsive. A person's fate is 70% determined by heaven and 30% by oneself. Fortune and misfortune are interdependent. When the moon is full, there is always a glimmer of hope in despair."

As he said this, he took off the beads on his hand and forced them into Li Youan's hand: "Take this, it can save your life."

The young monk was horrified and said hastily, "No, those are beads that the abbot spent decades on. How can we give them away so easily?"

The fortune teller slapped the little monk on the head and dragged him out while saying, "What he gave me is mine. I can give it to whoever I want. That old monk trapped me in this broken temple for so long to seek repayment. I don't want to do this anymore. I want to go down the mountain. You should leave too. Don't be so stubborn, little monk. Why are you staying here when everyone else has left? If you insist on staying, then just be the abbot. But it's so strange today. No one came..."

Mr. Fortune Teller's words shocked Li Yuanrou so much that she forgot to use force while hugging the person. Li Youan also forgot to struggle and just watched the two men walk away.

At this moment, something unexpected happened.

A group of more than ten men in black attacked from the direction of the fortune interpreter and the young monk. They were so frightened that they fell to the ground.

The man in black ignored the two of them and approached the Guanyin Temple at a rapid speed.

The voice of the fortune teller floated from a distance: "I told you to leave but you didn't listen. I told you long ago that this is not a good place..."

The two of them had already fled for their lives.

Qingluan, Kunpeng and six other secret guards emerged from the darkness and protected Li Yuanrou and the other two behind them. Kunpeng shouted to Qingluan, "Girl, wait for the right opportunity to take the princess away first."

The opponent was very fast and they had already fought in the blink of an eye. In an instant, swords flashed and the battle broke out like thunder.

Li Yuanrou and Daya were so frightened by this horrifying scene that their legs went limp. They hugged each other in fear, their hearts pounding like drums.

Li Youan seemed calmer than the other two, with a determined gleam in his eyes.

Sword lights flashed, knife shadows were heavy, the opponent's target was clear, and every knife and saber was directed towards Li Yuanrou and the other two.

Kunpeng and his companions are all experts picked from hundreds. Their figures are as fast as the wind and their swords are as sharp as dragons and snakes. They managed to tear open a hole in the airtight blockade.

Kunpeng yelled at Qingluan: "Go!"

Qingluan did not hesitate and took Li Yuanrou and the other two out of the Guanyin Temple.

Fortunately, the Guanyin Temple was right in front of the temple gate, very close. Li Yuanrou held her breath and forced herself to remain calm, while she helped Daya run out and got on the carriage.

Qingluan drove the carriage at the fastest speed towards the capital.

Because it was winter and everything was bleak, the woods on both sides of the path were bare, making it difficult for the killer to hide.

Qingluan was watching all directions and listening in all directions, her mind was extremely tense. She suddenly jumped up and shouted, "Daya, drive the car."

Qingluan fell behind the galloping carriage. Li Yuanrou lifted the curtain in horror and looked, only to see three masked men fighting with Qingluan.

Qing Luan turned her arm, and the long sword spun at her fingertips. Amidst the lightning and thunder, a broken sword light flashed and pierced through the chest of a man in black. The man knelt on the ground and vomited blood. He must be dead. Qing Luan drew out the bloody sword without hesitation and stabbed the other two...

Li Yuanrou could no longer see, and there was only the sound of the whistling wind in her ears.

She lowered the curtain and sat down, holding Li Youan's hand tightly: "If something unexpected happens, you must take every opportunity to escape, understand?"

Li Youan frowned and hesitated.

Li Yuanrou's eyes were filled with anxiety, and her worry and uneasiness reached the peak. She shook Li Youan's shoulders heavily: "Remember it? Answer me!"

Li Youan looked up at him, surprise and confusion flashing in his eyes.

Li Yuanrou said in a cold voice: "Think about your mother, she needs you, she can't lose you, and your father, those people are well prepared, if we can't even stop Qingluan and the others, we have almost no chance of winning, act according to the situation, and run as many as you can, do you hear me!"

Li Youan's hollow eyes were filled with determination and he nodded heavily.

Daya, who was driving, screamed, and Li Yuanrou was startled.

She opened the curtain of the carriage and a long sword was placed at her neck.

Her heart sank and she dared not move. She glanced outside the car and saw Daya lying on the ground unconscious.

Li Youan stood up hastily, and the man in black holding the sword shouted, "Don't move!"

The sword tip moved a little closer to Li Yuanrou's neck, and a trace of blood seeped out of her porcelain-white skin, which was very dazzling.

Li Youan maintained a half-standing posture and did not dare to act rashly.

The carriage stopped suddenly.

The black-clad man who had stopped the carriage entered the carriage and restrained Li Youan. The two black-clad men looked at each other and one of them said, "The master only said he wanted the woman, not the child."

The other man nodded, then carried Li Youan out of the carriage and threw him down, then quickly rode his horse and took Li Yuanrou hostage and galloped into the city.

Li Yuanrou bit the tip of her tongue and forced herself to calm down.

It is towards the city, which means it is closer to Xiao Luobai, which is not a bad thing for her.

She believed that Xiao Luobai could find her. After all, Wangcai had the ability to find people by smell.

The carriage made several turns and finally stopped in an alley.

The two men tied Li Yuanrou's hands behind her back, roughly pulled her off the carriage, dragged her into the alley, and into a remote house.

The masked man in black kicked the door open, raising a cloud of dust. It was obvious that no one lived in the house, so no one cleaned it.

A man in black said, "The people are here, but where's the silver?"

Only then did Li Yuanrou realize that there was someone in the room. That person was a slightly fat and short man. He threw a large bag of silver to each of the two men in black.

The two of them opened it, took a look, nodded to each other, took the silver, closed the door and left.

The short and fat villain took a horsewhip from the dusty table and swung it at Li Yuanrou without saying a word.

Li Yuanrou instinctively tilted her head and curled her shoulders. She felt a burning pain in her arms and shoulders. She clenched her teeth to prevent herself from crying out in pain.

She looked at the man in horror, and he said with a sinister look in his eyes: "It's you, who tried to seduce my brother and brutally killed him!"

Li Yuanrou came back to her senses in shock and asked calmly: "Who are you? I don't know you!"

The man raised his head and sneered crazily, then his knife-like eyes fixed on Li Yuanrou's face, glaring at her viciously as if he wanted to grind her into ashes.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Today I will make you understand. Do you still remember Zhang Ding?"

Li Yuanrou was horrified, thinking that he was here to seek revenge.

The man continued, "I am his elder brother. He and I have lived together since childhood. I worked very hard to buy him a small official position. However, my younger brother was very capable and was promoted to the sixth rank. He was killed by you before he could enjoy his life. Princess Shanyang, you shall not die well!"

As he spoke, he tightened the whip in his hand and roared, "Today I will make you pay with your life!"
