The cliff is brightly lit, and if you don't look carefully, you would really think it is daytime.

Prince Rui sat on the edge of the cliff, staring at the rope. Today was the last day, and it would soon be over. Would she no longer want him?

Shangguan Xuan was also very worried. Looking at Xiao Ruirui's condition, if the eldest daughter of the Chu family didn't come back, it would be difficult for her to get through this hurdle.

The four members of the Qiao family standing aside were also worried. They didn't know how dangerous it was here. If they knew, what would they choose?

No matter how close the benefactor is, no one knows who they will choose when choosing between marrying someone.

Everyone looked at the rope intently, and just when everyone was about to give up, the rope seemed to move.

Prince Rui looked at the rope excitedly. He suspected that he was hallucinating when he saw the rope move just now.

He pointed at the rope that was moving slightly and said, tears of kindness welling up in the corners of his eyes, "The rope is moving, the rope is moving, can you see it?"

Lin Feng and Shangguan Xuan looked at each other and nodded, "The rope moved, the rope moved."

Prince Rui carefully pulled up the rope, wanting to test whether there was any weight on it.

Prince Rui pulled it, felt the weight, and smiled, "Someone, really someone."

At the bottom of the cliff, Chu Ci tied the rope tightly around himself, took his small bag, and began to shake the rope. Soon, Chu Ci felt the rope slowly rising.

But this speed is not necessarily as fast as a turtle.

Chu Ci didn't pick and choose anymore. As long as he could go up, it would be fine. He had suffered a lot during this period of time. He needed to have a good rest after going up.

The moon was above the willows, and Chu Ci was finally pulled to the top of the cliff.

When he reached the ground, Chu Ci felt an unprecedented sense of security.

Seeing so many people standing in front of him, Chu Ci smiled slightly and fainted.

Qiao Sheng wanted to go forward and see Chu Ci, but Prince Rui gave him a cold look, and he returned to the palace with Chu Ci in his arms.

Prince Rui's Mansion.

As soon as Prince Rui put Chu Ci on the bed, Chu Ci woke up.

She looked at Cang Mo guiltily, sat up, and put her arms around Cang Mo's arms, "Cang Mo, I'm back, look, I'm intact."

Prince Rui looked at Chu Ci indifferently without saying a word. His indifferent eyes made Chu Ci's heart beat slower.

Chu Ci shook her arms, "Don't be angry, okay? I didn't bring you with me because I was afraid I wouldn't be able to come back."

Prince Rui shook off Chu Ci's hand with force, sat at the square table, drank tea, and said nothing.

Chu Ci knew he was angry, so she threw back the quilt, stood up, and poured him a cup of hot tea. "I won't dare to do it again next time, I promise."

Prince Rui drank the tea and had no intention of talking to Chu Ci for the time being.

Chu Ci took out the herbs from his bosom, divided them into two portions, and shouted to the outside, "Lin Feng, call the court doctor."

Cang Mo was drinking tea. When he heard her calling for the court physician, he thought she was feeling unwell. After looking her up and down, he realized that she wanted to prepare some herbs. His face became even darker.

Chu Ci handed half of the herbs to the palace doctor, "This is Master Qiao's herbs, go and boil them for him."

After the court physician left, Chu Ci sat down next to Prince Rui in a flattering manner, looked at him with a smile, and rubbed her cheek against his arm. But Prince Rui didn't give her any good face at all.

Chu Ci's eyes rolled and he lay down on the table, holding his stomach, looking like he was in great pain.

When King Rui saw her in this state, he panicked, "What's wrong with you? Little fox, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Chu Ci gave King Rui a pitiful smile and tears began to fall.

She looked at Chu Ci pitifully and said, "I'm so hungry. I can't get along well outside. Now that I'm in the mountains, I dare not eat anything inside."

He blinked eagerly a few times, and tears continued to fall.

Prince Rui couldn't hold on any longer, and locked Chu Ci tightly in his arms, biting Chu Ci's cheek. "Let it go this time, but remember, this kind of thing must never happen again. No matter what happens, your safety is the most important thing."

"it is good!"

Prince Rui shouted outside the bedroom, "Quick! Prepare some easily digestible food."

Chu Ci smiled secretly, it's done, there's no other way, he can't confront it head-on at the critical moment, after all, he is not the one who is right.

Soon, the maids lined up, and in the blink of an eye, a large table of delicious food appeared on the table.

Chu Ci didn't care about etiquette anymore. He picked up the chopsticks and started stuffing food into his mouth. This scene was seen by the people from the Qiao family who came in.

They stood at the door, not daring to move or even make a sound, for fear of disturbing Chu Ci's meal. After watching for a while, the Qiao family began to shed tears.

They knew that these herbs were obtained at the cost of Chu Ci's life. No one knew what Chu Ci had experienced in these seven days, and how many times he had been on the verge of life and death.

Cang Mo felt so distressed watching this that he kept rubbing her back with his hand, fearing that she would choke.

His other hand was not idle either, paying attention to the water cup next to her. He would pour water when it was empty, and blow on the water himself when it was hot.

Just like that, Chu Ci finished the meal under the gaze of everyone. At this moment, she finally understood what it meant that food is the most important thing for people.

Chu Ci finished the last bite of the dish and put down her chopsticks. When she saw so many people watching her eat, her face turned red with embarrassment.

"Mr. Qiao, Mrs. Qiao, please come in quickly. Is there anything wrong?" Chu Ci said, his eyes falling on Qiao Sheng.

She looked him up and down, and when she saw that Qiao Sheng's complexion had improved a lot, she smiled with relief, "It seems that this medicine was prescribed for the right purpose."

When Prince Rui saw Chu Ci smiling at Qiao Sheng, the smile on his face instantly disappeared. "Lord Qiao and Madam Qiao, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Prince Rui's voice was very distant. He looked at Qiao Sheng warily and pulled Chu Ci behind him.

They understood King Rui's intention, but did not interfere too much.

Mrs. Qiao looked at Chu Ci worriedly, "Xiao Ci, is there anything wrong with your body?"

Chu Ci smiled faintly and shook her head. "Mrs. Qiao, I'm fine. You can see that these are just small scratches on my body. They won't take long to heal. With some scar removal medicine, they will disappear soon."

Mrs. Qiao was relieved, "Then we will leave first."

Qiao Sheng wanted to say something, but Mrs. Qiao quickly pulled him away. Prince Rui was here, and if he was upset, the life that had just been saved would be lost again.

Chu Ci watched them leave, but Prince Rui was unwilling to do so. "Still looking? He's more handsome than me?"

Chu Ci was stunned by what he said, "What did you say?"

Prince Rui forcefully moved Chu Ci's body over to him, "I said, can Qiao Sheng be as good-looking as me?"

Chu Ci looked at Prince Rui seriously and kissed him lightly on the lips. "Well, our Prince Rui is still more handsome. But I'm a little tired. Please take me back. I need to go back and rest."

Prince Rui was reluctant, but since Chu Ci was back, it would be bad if he didn't come home overnight, so he reluctantly nodded and said, "Okay."

"By the way, have you found out who the people who assassinated me are?"

Facing Chu Ci's question, Prince Rui was silent for a long time, and only said two names, "Li and Chu Xiao."

Chu Ci looked towards the direction of the Duke's Mansion and said, "It seems some things need to be settled."
