Severed ties and living in a dilapidated house? No worries, the poor thing has a space.

Here in Qi'an County.

After Jinluo and Mojiu arrived, they inquired about the whereabouts of Prince Rui. They learned that Prince Rui had gone to a village for rescue on his last mission.

But then an earthquake struck the village, destroying all the remaining houses.

Immediately after this incident, Prince Rui and the others who came to the rescue disappeared without a trace.

Mo Jiu and his men have been digging in this area for three whole days, but apart from finding the bodies of two government officials, they have not found any trace of Prince Rui.

Jinluo stood in front of the huge pile of ruins, standing there blankly for a long time. If Mo Jiu hadn't forced someone to watch over her, she probably would have broken her own hands digging and still wouldn't have stopped.

She stood there for as long as the soldiers dug.

Although the sun isn't exactly scorching hot right now, standing for too long can still be physically unbearable.

As they dug until dark, a villager ran up from one direction and said that he had seen several officials in the mountains a few days ago.

But they only went in and never came out. It is said that there are many wild animals in the mountains, and if they stay in the mountains for too long, they are likely to meet with bad luck.

Once he confirmed it was that mountain, Mo Jiu led his men there. Before he could even set off, another soldier reported that Jinluo had disappeared.

Oh no! Mo Jiu guessed that Princess Rui had also heard the news and was probably up the mountain herself.

Now Mo Jiu can only split his men into two groups: one to find Prince Rui, and the other to find Princess Rui.

Jinlu overheard some common people talking about this matter, and based on their description, she thought it was about Prince Rui, so without thinking, she went to find him.

She walked up the mountain, searching as she went, ignoring the scratches on her face and skin from the branches.

She stumbled and fell all the way, not knowing what was wrong with her. During this time, ever since she came, she had been restless, worried that something might have happened to Prince Rui.

Actually, she initially disagreed with this marriage.

But my father said that this marriage was arranged by my aunt, partly to do what was best for the family, and partly because my aunt had said at the time that Prince Rui was a good boy.

During this time together, she could truly feel Prince Rui's meticulous care for her.

Knowing that he was in trouble, she really wished she could fly to his side immediately and help him solve the problem.

As they walked, Jinluo suddenly saw someone in the woods ahead.

She originally intended to inquire about Prince Rui's whereabouts, but before she even got close, Jinluo heard one of them say, "I think it's better not to look for him. He's been poisoned, and even if he escaped, he won't survive."

The other person still seemed a bit uneasy, and said, "Just to be on the safe side, let's look again."

The man who had just spoken got angry. He brandished the knife in his hand and said impatiently, "Go find it yourself if you want. I'm not looking anymore."

The two of them said something, then stopped looking and left.

Although she didn't hear them say that the person they were looking for was Prince Rui, Jinluo had a hunch that the two of them were talking about Prince Rui.

After they had gone far away, Jinluo came out from behind the tree trunk and began to search around.

The search lasted until dark. Jinluo had left home in a hurry, without taking anything with her, and couldn't see the road clearly, so she fell into a hole.

The cave was pitch black, and she couldn't see anything except the whooshing sound of the wind overhead.

She groped along the wall, trying to think of a way to get out first.

She had only taken two steps when she tripped over something under her feet.

She slowly crouched down, trying to move the things blocking her way.

The sensation from her fingertips sent a jolt through her, and she quickly reached out to touch it.

She touched a face that was still warm, but very rough. She checked its breath with her fingertips; it was still breathing.

She hurriedly touched the outline of the face again, and exclaimed, "Your Highness, is that you, Your Highness?"

The person in his arms did not react.

Jinlu could only rely on her intuition to touch the person's body, trying to find out if there were any injuries.

She touched something sticky on the other person's arm, and smelled it under her nose; it smelled like blood.

She was blind and there was no way to save her, but she remembered the things Su Yu had given her before she left.

She reached into her pocket and pulled out a medicine bottle, which she quickly opened and fed to the person.

This was the spiritual spring water that Su Yu gave her. Actually, she didn't smell any medicine, but she trusted Su Yu.

A short while later, the person in my arms moved.

Jinlu hurriedly asked again, "Your Highness, is that you, Your Highness?"

“阿落！”

Prince Rui thought he had misheard and made a sound in his hoarse voice.

Once she confirmed Prince Rui's identity, Jinluo held him in her arms, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.

Warm tears dripped onto Prince Rui's face.

"A-Luo, don't cry." Prince Rui wanted to raise his hand to comfort her, but he couldn't lift his arm; it was even a little numb.

Jinluo quickly grasped his hand, her voice trembling with tears, and said, "Your Highness, your hand is injured. Don't move, I'm here."

Prince Rui was about to speak when Jin Luo interrupted, "You are still very weak. Don't speak yet. Conserve your strength. Mo Jiu will find us soon."

Prince Rui had a lot to say, but given his current physical condition, he couldn't say it.

Jinluo held him tightly, trying to stop him from speaking, but she kept talking, afraid that Prince Rui wouldn't be able to hold on.

By the time Mo Jiu and his men found them, it was already late at night.

Upon returning, Jinluo saw that Prince Rui was covered in injuries, and by the time the doctor finished treating him, it was almost dawn.

Jinluo stayed at the door the whole time, unwilling to leave even for a moment.

Prince Rui was also worried about her. He fainted after she came in and he saw her.

In the following days, Jinluo stayed by Prince Rui's side at all times.

Whether it's feeding her or wiping her body, she does it all herself.

Mo Jiu led his men to thoroughly search the forest, but they couldn't find the assassins who had been chasing Prince Rui these past few days.

Fortunately, before Prince Rui went into the mountains to chase the assassin, he had already settled the disaster victims.

Now those disaster victims are just waiting for the new villages to be built.

After Prince Rui's condition improved, they set off to return to the capital.

On the way back, Mo Jiu told him everything that had happened in Yun Jing these past few days.

Prince Rui suspected that this disaster relief trip was clearly an attempt by someone to eliminate him so that all the blame could be pinned on him.

Mo Jiu had also guessed this, so he had already sent a letter back, telling Qi Anyi about the matter.

When Su Yu received the letter, she understood it.

Yan'er came in from outside and said, "Your Highness, A-Wan has gone to the dungeon again."

In the past few days, Su Wan has made a trip to the dungeon three times a day to bring food to Sang Mo.

Su Yu didn't stop her, she just said, "Let A-Wan go."

Before she could finish speaking, a guard rushed in and reported, "Your Highness, the assassin in the dungeon wants to see you."

After exchanging a glance, Su Yu and Yan'er went to the dungeon.
