Prince’s Brutal Consort - C64
Holding her breath, she waited for the soldiers to finish their search and let her pass.
“Crown Prince, no.”
“Alright, then come back, let’s continue searching.” There was a hint of disappointment in Xi Men Rui’s voice. He felt that without someone like her to play with, his days would become boring. That was why he had come chasing after her.
Sometimes, when he thought about it, he could be considered a pitiful person.
The soldiers quickly retreated. Zhiruo also heaved a sigh of relief. Once Ximen Ruixue’s boat had gone far, she and Qin Zhiqing would be able to escape from the gates of hell once again.
But now, she didn’t dare to move, not even if she could. The ship was on the side of the boat, and if she moved even a little, it was very likely that she would disturb the people on the ship.
However, at that moment, a fish unerringly swam over. When the fish touched her foot, she couldn’t help but shiver, causing the buoy on top of her head to sway.
“There’s someone.” The buoy shook, and Xi Men Rui Xue immediately felt something was wrong. With a low shout, the buoy above her head became Xi Men Rui Xue’s prey in the blink of an eye.
Qin Zhiqing was extremely anxious. He held her and shifted her in the water. He only thought of the other side of the boat so that he could avoid the eyes of the people on the boat with Ximen Ruixue.
However, when he moved, there would definitely be the sound of water. Above his head, there was the wind, accompanied by a familiar fragrance.
The speed at which Xi Men Rui Xue had arrived was quick enough that even Qin Zhiqing could not withstand her speed.
At the same time, Qin Zhiqing jumped out of the water with her in his arms. After jumping onto the boat, his gaze quickly swept the surroundings, and just as Xi Men Rui Xue caught up to the boat, Qin Zhiqing rushed into the water with her in his arms.
Ruo Ruo slowly opened her eyes. She was worried that they were on water.
After the tip of his foot had brushed past the lotus leaves, Qin Zhiqing landed on the ground firmly, “Ruo Ruo, I’ll take you away. Please trust me, I won’t let Ximen Rui Xue catch you.”
“Zhiqing, be careful of him.” She bit her lips and immediately let out a sound. She wanted Qin Zhiqing to be careful of Ximen Ruixue.
As he spoke, another wave of wind came from behind him. “Qin Zhiqing, let go of this as if nothing had happened before. Otherwise, you won’t be able to bear the consequences this time.”
“Ximen Ruoxue, don’t even think about making me give up on her. I will not let you have her before sending her to the Fragrant Pavilion. If she were to fall into your hands, it would be the end of my life.”
“Haha, Qin Zhiqing, this is not up to you.” After he finished speaking, a gust of wind from his palm struck directly towards Qin Zhiqing’s face.
Shocked, Ruo Ruo closed her eyes. While Qin Zhiqing was fighting with Xi Men Rui Xue, she had secretly reached into his embrace. This was human instinct, right? In a moment of desperation, she could actually move.
It was a short knife that she had found under the seat of the horse carriage when she was waiting for Qin Zhiqing in the capital. At that time, she thought that Xi Men Rui Xue would recognize her, so she had hidden it in her bosom.
No matter what, she could not implicate Qin Zhiqing. She could not allow Qin Zhiqing to be injured because of a burden like her. She absolutely could not.
When she slowly opened her eyes, there was a white figure flying like a butterfly, looking extremely beautiful. However, the figure was pressing on her and Qin Zhiqing step by step. At this moment, she was in Qin Zhiqing’s embrace, and the two of them were backing away from each other.
She already knew that Xi Men Rui Xue was not some ordinary person. However, his extravagant heart was real. Now, when he forced Qin Zhiqing to hand her over, every move he made was extremely sharp.
In the water, on the boat, with so many people watching, if he could not catch her, then he would lose face.
Haha, what was face? Ever since she had been sent to the Fragrant Pavilion, she, Qin Zhiruo, no longer had any face.
Yet another palm came. That palm wind made Qin Zhiqing stagger and he almost fell to the ground. Luckily, he held her in one hand and supported himself against a small tree to prevent himself from falling down.
Seeing that Qin Zhiqing was still at a disadvantage, Zhiruo gritted her teeth and whispered, “Zhiqing, let me down.”
“Not letting go.” Without hesitation, Qin Zhiqing refused to let go of anything.
“Don’t worry, he won’t be able to take me away.” She smiled softly, her eyes moving through the wounds and pain in her body as they gnawed at her heart.
“Ruo Ruo, don’t be stupid. I’m here with you. I won’t let you go.” He knew that as long as he let go of Ruo Ruo, he would still have a chance at fighting against her. However, he did not want to let go. It was as if once he did, Ruo Ruo would disappear from his sight.
His hand slowly moved. That short blade had already moved towards his chest. Fortunately, the short blade was blocked by the wide sleeves of his robe. Otherwise, Xi Men Rui Xue would have discovered it.
She couldn’t wait. She didn’t want to get hurt.
He did not know where he got the strength from, but with a flick of his wrist, the blade of the dagger fell on his chest.
The sunlight reflected off the dagger, causing it to look dim and hurt his eyes. However, that was not important. What was important was that Xi Men Rui Xue’s expression changed instantly. “Ruo, quickly put down the dagger in your hand.”
Ruo Ruo ignored Xi Men Rui Xue and said to Qin Zhiqing, “Second brother, let me go.” She did not want to implicate Qin Zhiqing in any way.
“Ruo Ruo, why are you so stupid? Give it to me. Quickly, don’t injure yourself.”
Just as Qin Zhiqing’s hand was about to snatch the dagger from her hand, Ruo Ruo shouted, “Stop! Otherwise, I will push you deeper!” At this time, the short knife had already cut open her clothes and pierced into her flesh, but she didn’t feel any pain, because this pain was far from the pain in her heart.
“Ruo Ruo …”
“Ruo Ruo …”
At the same time, two screams rang out. Ximen Ruixue’s expression changed, while Qin Zhiqing’s hand stopped in midair, not daring to move again.
“Put me down.” She wanted to go to the Medicine Valley by herself, so she could give Qin Zhiqing some time to rest. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to win against Xi Men Rui Xue, because there were too many people and Qin Zhiqing was too few.
“Ruo Ruo, you …” Qin Zhiqing’s face was pale white. There was a little bit of red that was like a plum blossom slowly dyeing the flowers open, but it was so shocking.
“Put me down.” She was already exhausted, but she was just holding on.
“Ruo Ruo, why are you so stupid?” Qin Zhiqing was stunned, he didn’t know if he should let go of Ruo Ruo.
“Put me down, or else …” As she spoke, her fingers actually became heavier.
“Ruo Ruo, don’t hurt yourself. I’ll let you go, I’ll let you go now.” He had thought of taking away the knife in her hand, but she seemed to have already guessed that he would do so. Therefore, even though her heart was aching, she still focused all her attention on observing his every move.
Let go, because he didn’t want to see her cut herself.
That blood color was truly shocking. Even Xi Men Rui Xue did not expect that Rui Xue would act like this.
His body slowly relaxed.
When he stepped on the muddy ground, it was as if he suddenly felt at ease.
“Step back, all of you step back.” she shouted, her voice hoarse.
The white and green figures could only stand still, not daring to move.
“Ruo Ruo, put down your dagger. I won’t touch you.” Xi Men Rui Xue finally spoke, but his words made her smile faintly. If he didn’t want to touch her, then he wouldn’t have to put in so much effort to chase her here to kill her.
“Second brother, how far is this from Pill King Valley?”
“No ….” “It’s not far. We’ll be there in half a mile.” Qin Zhiqing watched on helplessly as she retreated, but he didn’t dare to rush up because the dagger in her hand could end her own life at any moment.
“I’ll go by myself. No one else should come. Otherwise, I’ll die for all of you to see.” If her poison couldn’t be cured, then sooner or later it would be death, so she really didn’t mind this stab. If she really did stab it, perhaps she would be able to free herself, and would no longer have to feel sad from the pain all over her body.
That pain was a type of torture, a torture that could cause one to go through life and death.
Such a ruthless method, only Yun Ru Xi, that evil woman, would do it.
Thinking about it, it was all hatred, Yun Ru Xi. If the day came that she could obtain this kind of poison from her hands, she would inflict it on Yun Ru Xi’s body as well.
“Ruo Ruo, let me carry you.”
“No need.” She continued to retreat and persevere. Half a mile away, she believed that she could grit her teeth and walk forward. At that time, she would know whether she lived or died.
The short knife was right on her chest, and the shiny blade made no one dare to lean towards her. She knew that the reason why Xi Men Rui Xue wanted to capture her was to send her back to the Fragrant Pavilion. Hehe, he had suffered under Yun Ru Xi’s hand, so he only worked for her.
She staggered backwards step by step. The shaking made her think that she was going to die several times, but she clenched her teeth and persevered.
Half a mile away, Xiao Xiao only needed a few minutes to complete her walk, but she walked for half an hour to complete it.
“Ruo Ruo, we’re here. Quickly go in.” Not far in front of her, the two men had been following closely behind her the entire time and were also staring closely at her. She felt that she was already very lucky that she was being pushed back like this and that someone was trying to surround her from behind.
