1052 Escape III

Splat!

The knife was stabbed into Tian Qis heart. Tian Qis body froze and his head slowly tilted downward, staring at the knife stuck in his heart as blood flowed from the corners of his mouth. Everything that he wanted to say was stuck in his throat.

In the end, his head dropped to the side and he died.

The jail door was once again opened.

Two guards rushed over and put their fists to palms in greeting. Madam, we heard Housekeeper Tian Qis voice. Are you alright?

Lady Yuan smiled sadly. She turned around and left the prison.

Sir Ye, did you see it?

The enemies who had harmed you are dying by my hand, one by one.

Dont worry. Very soon I will kill everyone, avenging the You familys five hundred over people!

After leaving the jail, Lady Yuans face color recovered a little.

From afar, she could see Zheng Tianwu rushing toward her.

Earlier on in the jail, she had used up all her strength and at the moment, her body had lost all strength as she crumbled to the floor.

Yuaner! Zheng Tianwu was frightened as he quickly went to hold Lady Yuan up. As he looked on anxiously, he ordered, Quick, quickly get the doctor here! Yuaner, wake up! Dont scare me!

The dark yellow sky was reflecting Zheng Tianwus anxious face. His eyes were filled with tension.

***

Marquis.

In the east room.

The incense was burning.

Zheng Tianwu sat next to the bed, clutching Lady Yuans hand tightly. Besides worry, his eyes carried no other emotions.

Housekeeper Tian Qi was killed by the Lady.

The person behind him respectfully reported.

Hmm. Zheng Tianwu just grunted an acknowledgment and no longer responded.

The guard hesitated for a moment. Housekeeper Tian Qi is not the kind of person who would have harmed Lord Mu.

Zheng Tianwu lowered his eyes. I dont care whether Tian Qi had really intended to harm Mu Yu or not. However, Yuaner wanted to kill him, then let his despicable life be offered to Yuaner. Nobody should question that!

The guards body trembled. He had already noticed Zheng Tianwus eyes turning dark so, he quickly left with his head bowed.

Yes, Marquis.

Leave, I will be here to accompany Yuaner until she wakes up.

Zheng Tianwu waved his hand then quickly turned his attention to Lady Yuan.

His eyes were full of tenderness and willingness to spoil her.

That was something that was previously not there.

In this life, he had killed many living beings. Regardless of whether it was a beasts life or a humans life, none of this mattered to him.

Everyone was just like an ant, there was no need for him to care.

But after he had met Yuaner, he finally had someone he cared about

He would not allow anyone to accuse her.

Whatever she said, he would believe it!

It did not matter if she was something bad that would bring calamity to the country and suffering to the citizens. Nor did it matter if she was a vixen in this story. None of it mattered to him.

He just wanted to be by her side

Marquis.

At this moment, a guard rushed over and whispered into Zheng Tianwus ear.

Zheng Tianwus eyes sunk, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes. Is what you have said true?

Every sentence I have heard is true. It was overheard by a palace girl belonging to the little princess.

Good. Very good. Come with me, I want to enter the palace to meet the Eldest Prince!

***

At night.

The sky was dark and the crescent moon was hidden behind the clouds.

Inside the palace walls, two petite figures carefully avoided all the imperial guards, moving forward while dodging and hiding.

You Lan, the secret passage you have talked about, does it really exist?

Of course its real. You Lan happily stroked her chin. When I was a child, Father Emperor did not let me out, so I used to secretly sneak out through this secret passage. Yiyi, I have inquired about something, Eldest Imperial Brother has left for an appointment tonight. He is not in the palace. It is the best time for us to escape.
