Prince’s Brutal Consort - C74

He closed his eyes and said, “Rui, let’s go.” She didn’t want to stay another minute in this place. She didn’t know what was going on with Qin Zhiqing, but she could only allow Prince An to slaughter her. She didn’t want to.

“Alright.”

As he finished speaking, she took off the red veil on her head and raised her head subconsciously. When she looked up, Ruo Ruo finally understood how Qin Zhiqing had treated Xi Men Rui Xue when she escaped from the capital.

So it turned out that he had intentionally snuck in.

“Quickly chase the assassin! Make sure you avoid the poison gas and cover your mouth and nose!” Prince An’s voice came from behind him. He wanted to grab onto Xi Men Rui Xue, but Xi Men Rui Xue had already come prepared. She jumped out of the window of the side hall arrogantly and ran straight into the shadows of the secret forest in the mountain.

If she did not know how long Xi Men Rui Xue had been carrying her about, she could only see that the sky had turned dark and she could no longer hear any footsteps or human voices chasing her. They seemed to be safe, but Xi Men Rui Xue did not have any intention of stopping.

Her heart started to hurt again. The medicine she drank could no longer stop the new pain. Her body trembled in his embrace as well, and her body started to tremble even more violently.

As if she had felt her pain, Xi Men Rui Xue slowly stopped in the middle of a jungle. When she sat down, Ruo Ruo just happened to be lying on her side in the crook of his arm. While she was in a daze, he gently asked: “Did it hurt again?”

Ruo Ruo nodded with effort. She was really in pain, very, very painful.

“Idiot, if you were good, why would you hurt?” His finger coldly tapped the tip of her nose, then he reached into his own bosom. However, a moment later, a small porcelain bottle with a wooden lid was in his hand.

As soon as the lid was opened, the smell of honey water drifted into Ruo Ruo’s nose. That smell was so familiar.

When the bottle was placed between Zhiruo’s lips, he suddenly stopped the force of his fall and said, “Promise me you won’t run anymore.”

“Yes.” Even if she wanted to escape, she wouldn’t be able to. Besides, if she wanted to save Qin Zhiqing, all she could do was count on Ximen Ruixue. She didn’t know why, but she still trusted him somewhat.

The small porcelain bottle slowly poured the sweet liquid into Ruo Ruo’s mouth. As she swallowed it down her throat, her body seemed to become a lot lighter.

While she was greedily wanting to drink more, Xi Men Rui Xue stopped her hand. “Greed, enough. Otherwise, there will be no more to drink next time.” He only brought this small porcelain bottle, and the ingredients inside were also a little heavier. Therefore, he naturally didn’t need to drink as much as he did in the Fragrant Pavilion.

Ruo Ruo’s face reddened. She wasn’t greedy at all. She was afraid of pain. This pain had tortured her for a long time already.

After drinking the honey water for a while, her body started to feel better, and the pain slowly disappeared. “A-Rui, do you know where Qing went?”

Moonlight shone through the treetops onto his handsome face. Although it wasn’t very clear, his eyes were still shining. She was waiting for his answer, so when he told her where Qin Zhiqing was, he would definitely know.

For a moment, Xi Men Rui Xue hesitated, but then she said, “He is still on An Yang mountain.”

“Really?” If he didn’t believe it, then he clearly didn’t see Qin Zhiqing in the side hall.

“Really.”

“Then let’s go back.” No matter what, Qin Zhiqing had always treated her very well. Every time she recalled the tone in which Qin Zhiqing spoke, it was as if he wasn’t lying to her. It was just that there were too many things she didn’t know about, so there was no way to explain themselves.

“It’s useless. He won’t show up when we go back.” If he guessed right, Qin Zhiqing was still there when he took her away.

However, Qin Zhiqing did not do anything to stop him. This meant that he did not dare to do anything, and he did not dare to reveal his true identity. He thought back to the eyes he had seen before.

“Is anything wrong with him?” She asked anxiously, feeling anxious.

“Do you care so much about him?” The expression on Ximen Ruixue’s face began to darken.

That gloominess was something that even he himself did not know.

“Ximen Ruixue, you promised me that you would save him before I followed you out. What, can’t I ask about the situation now?” Ruo Ruo was slightly unhappy. At that time, the hall was a little chaotic. If she had cried for help, Xi Men Rui Xue might not have been able to take her away.

It was fortunate that it was night time, otherwise, he would not dare to face her anymore. With a gentle smile, he said, “Feel free to ask, but right now, it’s not about whether or not I want to save him. It’s about whether or not he wants to stand out.”

Ruo Rui became more confused as she listened. She shook her head. “Xi Men Rui Xue, tell me clearly. What do you mean?”

However, Xi Men Rui Xue held onto Ruo Ruo and stood up. “I’ll tell you when we get back to the capital.”

“No, I want to know now.” If she became anxious, it would be related to Qin Zhiqing’s life and death. If she had to wait for two days, she wouldn’t be able to wait any longer.

“In that case, I, Ximen Ruoxi, will definitely offend you.” As if she had already expected such a reaction, Xi Men Ruoxue suddenly tapped her finger, and Ruo Rui couldn’t move anymore. She was still in Xi Men Rui’s embrace, but her heart was no longer in pain, but she couldn’t move anymore.

She looked at him with an aggrieved expression. Even if she regretted it now, it was already too late. He had already gotten up, carrying her as he rushed towards the capital.

She could neither speak nor move. Ruo Ruo closed her eyes in pain. She knew that she had been tricked.

The wind blew past her ears. Ruo Ruo only had her random thoughts left. She thought about what Xi Men Rui Xue would do after she brought her to the capital. Perhaps, he would even send her to the Fragrance Pavilion.

Heavens, when she thought of this, she had no idea how much she regretted it.

As he rode in the dark of the night, coupled with the fact that Xi Men Rui Xue was traveling in remote areas, he was actually able to safely and smoothly leave Anyang Mountain. While he was still in a daze, Ruo Ruo felt like she had been carried into a carriage.

That night was the best night she had ever slept in since she had escaped from the capital. It was because she felt less pain and less sense of escaping.

But what about going back?

What awaited her might be endless humiliation.

When she woke up, the sky was already bright, but the carriage was still dark due to the curtains. The moment she opened her eyes, she saw Ximen Ruixue. It was as if this was the first time she had seen the frail Ximen Ruixue.

Ruo Ruo tried to move it, but her acupuncture points had already been cleared.

Due to the honey water, she knew that her body would be able to hold out until night without any more pain. Right now, she was no different from a normal person.

The first thought in her mind was that she wanted to run.

He really wanted to escape.

She raised her hand and lifted the curtain of the carriage. The coachman was staring intently at the road, unaware of her awakening.

As long as the carriage reached the top of the slope, when she jumped out, her body would roll down the slope and the carriage would continue to move forward. As long as Ximen Ruixue did not wake up, the coachman would not notice her, and as long as she ran into the mountain beside the road and followed the same direction as the carriage, she believed that Ximen Ruixue would definitely not think that she was going in the same direction as him.

He was still sleeping, but his two long eyelashes were like fans, but they couldn’t move because he was asleep. Even though he was asleep, his thin lips were curled up in a beautiful curve, and his handsome nose unconsciously made his entire body emit an inexhaustible aura, as if it was made of nature itself.

She didn’t want to watch anymore. If she looked at him again, she would have the impulse to change her mind. That was because she promised him that she wouldn’t run away after drinking the honey water.

However, he had actually forcefully taken her away using her acupoints. Thinking of this, Ruo Ruo became even angrier. If she were to look at him again, she would not like him at all.

She turned her head resolutely. At this moment, the carriage had already reached the top of the hill. If she didn’t hesitate, she would quietly jump again. The moment she landed, she made a muffled sound.

However, nothing happened. The carriage was still moving forward. Xi Men Rui Xue did not jump down from the carriage.

She wanted to be in sync with the carriage so that the most dangerous place would be her safest place. In short, she did not want Xi Men Rui Xue to capture her.

However, if she knew after only a few steps that she would not be able to catch up with the carriage, the branches of the trees were so thick, making every step she took difficult. After walking for about a minute, she was discouraged.

However, at this moment, a black shadow blocked the sunlight that was seeping through the branches. She looked up in shock to see Xi Men Rui Xue standing in front of her with a smile, “How is it? Isn’t this mountain fun?”
