Dozens of eyes were staring at him.

Pei Qinghong quickly raised his hands.

"I just came back to take the antidote."

Li Qingluo didn't speak to him and led his men straight into the deeper tunnel.

Pei Qinghong followed them.

"Princess Yaoguang, do you know that my uncle and the others were all imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice yesterday?"

"There is no elder left in the Peiguo Mansion now."

"And the title of Duke of Guo will probably be lost this time..."

Li Qingluo turned around abruptly: "What exactly does Master Pei San want to say?"

"Do you think that if you, the Pei family, hate me, I'll be afraid?"

"Or do you know what happened in Prince Su's Mansion, and since you are now Prince Su's shadow guard, you want to block my way?"

Pei Qinghong laughed at himself: "We in the Pei family regard you as our benefactor, how dare we hate you?"

"But Lady Yaoguang clearly knows what happened in Prince Su's Mansion, so why would she bother to find out the answer herself?"

"In this way, aren't you afraid of hurting the relationship between you and His Highness Prince Su?"

Li Qing hesitated for a moment after landing, then continued to walk quickly.

"He was the first to break his promise."

"But I, Li Qingluo, will never betray myself again!"

She raised her hand and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

Although she was sweating all over, her heart felt as cold as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

The combination of ice and fire pulled her whole body to the point of almost being burned to ashes.

She was willing to accompany him until death to find out the truth about Concubine Yue's death.

Even revenge.

But in front of Duan Rongshi, she found that she seemed to be just a breeze that could temporarily smooth out the wrinkles between his brows.

Perhaps, she is indeed a variable in his life.

But he would never let her influence his chess game.

The person who leaked the news about Qingsong Mountain being spied on was none other than someone else.

It’s Duan Rongshi himself!

The Prince Su's Palace deliberately relaxed its guard so that the spies from the Great Chu could successfully rescue Zong Zheng Wuheng from the Palace.

He wanted to let Zong Zheng Wuheng return to Da Chu.

But why?

Why on earth!

That day in Qishan, he clearly had the opportunity to make things clear.

But he didn't explain.

Not only that, during the riot in the west of the city, she only helped him to take charge of the situation.

The overall situation has always been in Duan Rongshi's hands.

Li Qingluo knew that this was the right thing to do.

He wanted to avenge her mother, just as he wanted to avenge himself after being reborn.

Nothing in this world will change their determination.

Moreover, he is the real planner and decision maker of all this. So what if he tells himself?

She really couldn't help him share much of the burden.

And the story is slowly revealed step by step.

But in the matter of Zong Zheng Wuheng, Li Qingluo felt deeply betrayed!

Tonight, she must catch up with Zongzheng Wuheng.

She must also come to an end her feud with Zong Zheng Wuheng.

And if Duan Rongshi really has his own difficulties, he should come and explain it himself!

Li Qingluo half turned his head to look at Pei Qinghong behind him: "Tell him that it's his business if he wants to release the person. But if I, Li Qingluo, want to kill someone for revenge, it's also my business."

"Unless his reasons for letting him go can convince me."

"Otherwise, even if I chase him all the way to Da Chu, I will never look back!"

After saying that, Li Qingluo and his group completely left Pei Qinghong behind and chased deeper into the darkness.

Pei Qinghong hesitated for only a moment before quickly turning around and walking out of the dungeon.

Pei Jingzhe was still waiting for him at the cave entrance.

Seeing him come out, he immediately asked, "Did you stop him?"

Pei Qinghong: "If I'm stopped, how can I come out alone?"

"She's an extremely opinionated woman, and she's more capable than you and I imagine."

"Those assassins are the elite troops that our great grandfather has carefully cultivated for many years. Now they are loyally following her until death. Our Pei family has made her a wedding dress of armor."

Pei Jingzhe's chest heaved with anger: "Can't she just be in peace?"

"If something happens to her, what will our Pei family do in the future?"

"Father and my uncles from each branch are willing to bear the blame for the sake of the Pei family's descendants."

"Besides, there's no turning back. Will this sacrifice be in vain?"

Pei Qinghong was silent for a moment, then said, "This matter must be reported to Prince Su immediately."

"Brother, I helped my great grandfather kill him."

"I am also the one who committed the most heinous crime."

"I will use my life to protect the Pei family."

"Don't worry, the antidote will be sent to the Pei family."

After saying this, Pei Qinghong quickly left the Duke's Mansion.

However, the palace is heavily guarded tonight.

Although Pei Qinghong is now a shadow guard, once he sneaks into the palace, he cannot enter the Zichen Hall, which is like an iron barrel.

Pei Qinghong could only wait in the dark night.

After finally waiting for Leng Dian to appear, he hurried to the corner to stop him: "Something happened."

After finishing speaking, Pei Qinghong ignored Leng Dian's ugly expression and continued, "I'll go out of the city to stop her first."

"Please ask Guard Leng Dian to inform His Highness of this matter as soon as possible so that His Highness can make a decision."

After saying this, he quickly disappeared into the night again.

Leng Dian didn't dare to hesitate and quickly put down what he had just come out to do.

Turning and entering the Zichen Hall, he found Prince Su taking a nap with his head propped up in a side hall.

"Your Highness, the girl..."

Hearing these two words, Duan Rongshi opened his eyes.

"Didn't the king ask you to deliver a letter?"

Duan Rongshi was too busy to go see her in person.

That's why I wrote a letter in person and asked Leng Dian to deliver it to General Xiu Li's mansion personally.

There were some things he didn't want Luo'er to misunderstand.

Leng Dian hesitated but still told the truth: "Your Highness, the girl has discovered the truth."

"Moreover, an hour ago... he left the city from the Pei family dungeon... and now he's probably chasing after those people from the Great Chu Kingdom."

Duan Rongshi's expression suddenly changed, and he stood up in shock: "What did you say!?"

It's raining heavily outside.

How dare she chase Zongzheng Wuheng on such a night?

What made Duan Rongshi even more anxious was that she knew he had broken his promise to her...

She was probably extremely disappointed in him.

I don’t know what to think about.

When he thought of this, Duan Rongshi suddenly became anxious and his heart was in a panic.

Without caring about this side anymore, Duan Rongshi wanted to leave the city immediately.

"Luo'er..."

Seeing this, Leng Dian and Xia Duo hurriedly chased after him.

"Your Highness, this is absolutely not allowed—"

"Now that you're gone, Prince Jin and his men will undoubtedly take advantage of the situation and break into the palace. The situation we've managed to control with such great difficulty will fall apart."

"Your Highness, you have been making this move for more than ten years."

"Your Highness, you must think twice!"

"As for the girl, I will go out of the city to look for her."

"Even if I have to sacrifice my own life, I will definitely bring the person back safely for Your Highness!"

"Your Highness—"

Xia Duo and others knelt directly on the ground.

Begging.

If the Wan family army came to knock on the palace gate at night.

But Duan Rongshi was not there at that time.

The situation will completely get out of control.

How could everyone be willing to endure for so many years and then give up halfway?

All previous efforts will be wasted.

Duan Rongshi's steps were forcibly stopped.

He looked down at the people behind him.

If he lost control of his emotions today because of personal love and really abandoned everything and left the palace, these people would die because of him.

They have followed him faithfully for more than ten years.

It is the arm that Duan Rongshi must never give up.

He looked at Leng Dian and Po Feng.

"You will bring her back safely for me!"

"Consider this the king begging you."

Leng Dian said with tears in his eyes: "Don't worry, Your Highness!"

"Even if it means risking our own lives, the two of us will definitely protect the girl to the death!"

The rain only lasted one night.

The next day, the sky cleared up completely at dawn.

General Wan Lao of the Wan Family Army led 20,000 troops towards Nanjing.

When Duan Rongshi learned about it, he rode out of the city alone to greet him in person.

Soon, all the turmoil in Jinling City subsided.

The Wanjia Army and the Beitu Army did not fight each other.

Instead, they retreated to a place twenty miles away from Jinling City and camped together.

When General Wan followed Duan Rong, he only brought a few hundred people into the palace.

Emperor Yan was seen lying on the bed, unable to speak or walk.

He could only lie motionless on the bed, with one side of his mouth crooked and drooling constantly.

There seemed to be something in his eyes that he wanted to say.

General Wan stepped forward and knelt before Emperor Yan: "Your Majesty, I know, I know everything."

"Your Majesty, you were so heartbroken because the Crown Prince colluded with a cult to rebel that you contracted hemiplegia."

"Your Majesty, please take good care of yourself. I will help you select a prince who is truly dedicated to the country and the people, and temporarily relieve your worries."

"Your Majesty will surely get better."

Emperor Yan was so angry that his eyes turned bloodshot.

Big tears fell down.

General Wan sighed and wiped his tears: "Your Majesty, why do you do this?"

General Wan will stay in Nanjing for a few more days.

Fortunately, Duan Rongshi finally had a moment to catch his breath, and he immediately called Zhui Yu over to him, "Did Leng Dian and the others send back any news?"

Zhui Yu knew he couldn't hide it.

Then he said, "Your Highness...the girl is missing!"

Duan Rongshi's eyes instantly seemed to be quenched with ice poison: "What do you mean missing?!"

"What are you doing?!"

Zhui Yu lowered his head. "When Leng Dian and the others chased us out, it was raining so hard that they only found traces of a fight in the woods twenty miles away."

"Then several broken bodies were found at the foot of the cliff."

"Fortunately, they are not girls! Those people from Da Chu are dead."

"Besides, there isn't a single corpse with those killing words."

"But..."

"It's just that the whereabouts of the missing girl and the murderers are unknown."

"Maybe it was washed away by the heavy rain overnight, so the trace was lost."

"Leng Dian and Po Feng haven't dared to rest for a moment. They have been looking for the girl day and night for two days..."

"But, it's still..."

The words that Zhui Yu couldn't utter turned into sharp blades, stabbing into Duan Rongshi's chest.

Duan Rongshi held his shaking head.

"Blame me……"

"It's all my fault. I lost her."

"Get out of the way—get out of the way!"

"I'm going to find Luo'er."

"This king will personally find her!"

"Nothing will happen to Luo'er, and nothing can happen to him!"

After he said that, he no longer cared about anything else, picked up his sword and rode out of the palace.

When General Wan came over, he only saw a shadow of a horse galloping across the long street.

So he asked curiously, "Where are you going in such a hurry, Your Highness Prince Su?"

The deputy general behind him said, "It seems that His Royal Highness Prince Su's future princess has disappeared."

General Wan was stunned when he heard this.

Then he laughed 'haha'.

"Look, even a tyrant like Prince Su can lose control of his emotions one day."

"It seems that he is not a truly ruthless person."

"Something interesting."

As soon as he finished speaking, a young eunuch came to Ningshou Palace.

"General Wan, the Queen Mother invites you to the Ningshou Palace for a conversation."
