Forced love, an inescapable fate

Mu Qingli nervously pinched a corner of the curtain, looking at the Princess's Mansion gradually moving away behind her, but she did not feel at ease.

But in the end, he suppressed all the thoughts in his mind and let go of the wrinkled curtain.

Wanyue noticed her emotions and looked up at her.

"Princess, are you worried about the people in the mansion? Don't worry, they will be fine. As for Xiao Tao, I explained everything to her before I left, and she knows what to do. Doctor Su has arranged for people to meet us outside the city, and they will escort us to a safe place."

After hearing Wan Yue's words, she didn't feel any better. Instead, she felt even more uneasy. She felt that their trip out of the house was too smooth.

But now, I can only pray in my heart that everything goes well.

The driver waved his whip and the carriage rushed towards the city gate.

A quarter of an hour later, the carriage successfully left the city gate.

Mu Qingli's anxious heart finally settled down.

She lifted the curtain on one side again, looked back at the tall city wall far behind her, with complicated emotions in her eyes.

I hope everything goes well for him this time.

If he couldn't help him, at least he shouldn't be a burden to him. The last time the Imperial Concubine summoned him to the palace was an example. If he hadn't been alert and well-prepared, neither of them would have escaped unscathed.

Now his final game with Wu Chen and the eldest prince's faction is just around the corner. He has worked hard for so many years and cannot afford to make any mistakes.

If this final game goes wrong due to my own reasons, more than one person will be let down.

So, please wish them all the best.

Mu Qingli had a lot of thoughts in his mind, and although Wanyue seemed calm on the surface, she was actually very panicked.

She also felt that their departure was too smooth.

But Su Minsheng should be reliable in doing things.

With a nervous mood, their carriage arrived at the place they had agreed to meet with Su Minsheng in the letter.

The weather was not good today. The stars and the moon were hidden behind the dark clouds, and it was almost impossible to see one's hand in front of one's face. The carriage could only rely on the dim lantern hanging in front of the carriage to barely see the road ahead.

Until a figure appeared vaguely in front, the driver spoke to the two people inside to remind them.

"My two guests, the person ahead should be the one you mentioned as your contact. I have to go back quickly, otherwise the city gate will be closed."

Hearing the driver's reminder, Wanyue got out of the carriage and saw a faint lantern flashing three times in front of her. She confirmed that this was the secret signal for the meeting she had agreed upon with Su Minsheng.

The uneasiness in my heart was relieved a little.

She had hired the carriage, and the driver had to return to the city.

Fortunately, they didn't have much luggage. Apart from two packages containing banknotes, there was only one package containing some spare clothes.

After paying the money, she helped Mu Qingli get off the carriage and walked towards the faint light ahead.

In the pitch-black winter night, every step Mu Qingli took felt like he was stepping on his own heart.

Wanyue, on the other hand, was tense all over and remained highly alert.

When I got closer, I realized that it was also a horse-drawn carriage, very ordinary and inconspicuous.

The driver was wearing a rain hat, and his face was basically covered. It was too dark, so his face could not be seen at all.

Mu Qingli nervously pulled Wanyue's sleeve. For some reason, the closer she got to the carriage, the faster her heart beat. She even had an urge to escape.

But Wanyue said that they had already matched the secret code, and this must be the person arranged by Su Minsheng. Only then did she follow Wanyue with an uneasy look on her face.

Until they arrived in front of the carriage, without waiting for Wan Yue to speak.

The sound coming from the car immediately changed the expressions of both her and Mu Qingli behind her.

"It's so late, where are you going, Princess?"

This cold voice without a trace of warmth came from Jiang Ci.

Mu Qingli felt his knees go weak and he subconsciously turned around and tried to run.

But because of nervousness, she tripped over the heavy dress and fell to the ground.

Wan Yue was even more panicked. She never expected that the person who came to pick her up was Jiang Ci.

Seeing Mu Qingli fall to the ground, he tried to pull her up in a panic.

However, just as Wanyue reached out to pull her up, she felt a pain in her neck, instantly lost consciousness and fell to the ground, but someone reached out and caught her steadily.

Bai Yu, who was hiding aside, held Wanyue in his arms, looked at Mu Qingli who was lying on the ground with a panicked look on his face, and finally just looked away with difficulty, then carried Wanyue to another carriage.

"Don't, don't take her away, Wanyue."

The sky was dark, and Mu Qingli's weak voice was blown away by the cold wind, while Jiang Ci in the carriage sneered.

"My princess is truly resourceful. Not only did she convince the Imperial Physician Su, who was deeply in love with you, to voluntarily cancel his engagement, she also made him risk everything to help you leave. But now it's me who's here. Are you disappointed, princess?"

As he spoke, he stepped down from the carriage with heavy steps.

My heart ached terribly when I saw someone lying on the ground trying to struggle to get up.

Mu Qingli only hated her useless body, which always failed at critical moments.

I don’t know if it was because I was too shocked or scared, but I felt my legs were so weak that I couldn’t stand up at all.

At this moment, seeing Jiang Ci approaching her step by step, her face turned pale.

I could only drag my body backwards.

Even though it was too dark to see the expression on his face, she could still feel his intense anger.

Until he stepped on the hem of her skirt, making it impossible for her to retreat.

Then he slowly leaned over and looked at her with a smile.

"Where are you going, Princess? Do you want me to give you a ride?"

Mu Qingli grabbed tightly at the hem of her skirt that he had stepped on, but she couldn't move it.

At this moment, I finally understood why I had been feeling anxious and uneasy all day long.

It turns out that there is no escape.

She pursed her lips tightly, feeling aggrieved, scared and angry.

Then, not wanting to be outdone, he sneered back.

Why should he care where he goes? What does it have to do with him? Who is he to him?

He is a paranoid and domineering madman.

"Where I go is none of your business. Are you bored and not sleeping in the middle of the night? I just don't like going to the capital and I just want to leave. What's wrong? What heavenly rules have I broken? What does the matter between me and Su Minsheng have to do with you? Do you think Wu Chen is too weak or you are too strong? Instead of blocking me, you should think about how to kill him with one move. And Wanyue is not yours now, give her back to me. She is mine, and if you dare to hurt her, I will never let you go."

Her words almost made September, whose face was mostly hidden under the rain hat, laugh out loud.

Isn't this obviously a way to please your master?

As expected, the master was in trouble.

But it doesn't seem unfair that I fell into her hands.

Jiang Ci was so angry at her words that he laughed, and his anger subsided a little.

It seemed like she was still worried about him. But leaving without permission couldn't be easily forgiven. If he couldn't escape this time, there would be another time.
