Quick Wear: The Wronged One Becomes Rebellious

Chapter 137: Traveling through the Prince's Mansion 16

Wei Lingyu stood in the open space in front of the valley, staring in amazement at the houses that were razed to the ground and the caves that had collapsed, and was speechless for a long time.

"What's going on? Who disobeyed orders and used fire in the forbidden area?" Wei Lingyu was very annoyed and yelled at the people standing around him.

Those who were selected by Wei Lingyu to come here were her confidants who she wanted to cultivate carefully, which showed the importance and danger of the things here.

Who dares to ignore her warning?

The people around him looked at each other, and finally Xiao Si said weakly: "Our people are all here. The only one not here is the young lady from the Dong family sent by Manager Zhu!"

"What?" Wei Lingyu's heart trembled. Why was she here?

After looking around, I really didn't see Gu Li. Even the maid beside her was gone.

Holding his right hand with his left hand, Wei Lingyu was shaking with fear, "Quick, hurry up and save people. If something happens to the boss, no one will be able to survive."

Now she can rely on Gu Li to walk freely outside without relying on men. If something happens to Gu Li, not to mention her freedom, she may not even be able to keep her life.

By then, the prince who has a new love will definitely not bear the anger from the palace for her.

She must die.

Wei Lingyu followed the crowd and ran towards the ruins, looking for the missing Miss Gu.

Duke Dingguo, who was standing outside the imperial study waiting to be summoned, was annoyed as to why his son had not arrived yet. He watched as the dozen or so ministers in front of him went in and out one by one, and it would soon be his turn.

At this time, there was a roar in the distance. Duke Dingguo's back stiffened and he turned to look west reflexively.

"Did you hear any noise?"

The Minister of Revenue and the Vice Minister of Rites, who were standing in front of Duke Dingguo, were discussing matters concerning the Queen Mother's birthday banquet in May. They were interrupted unexpectedly by someone behind them. They were confused and asked, "What's that sound? Is it Eunuch Li Zhong calling us in?"

Duke Dingguo glanced past the two old men and turned to look at the young eunuch waiting on the steps, "Eunuch, did you hear any loud noise just now?"

Two of the young eunuchs nodded. "There seemed to be a loud noise, like the roar of a mountain?"

Duke Dingguo felt like he was scratched by a cat. He hoped that nothing would happen at this time!

Finally it was Duke Dingguo's turn to meet the emperor. As soon as he stepped onto the marble floor of the imperial study, a young eunuch from outside the hall came hurriedly and whispered something in the ear of Eunuch Xi who was at the door.

Eunuch Xi left Duke Dingguo behind and ran into the imperial study, leaving Duke Dingguo staring at the panting young eunuch.

"What's the big deal, sir?"

The young eunuch wiped the sweat from his forehead, raised his eyes and saw that it was Duke Dingguo, and suddenly gave a flattering smile.

Duke Dingguo felt a chill on the back of his neck, and then he heard the young eunuch say, "The prince sent someone to tell us that Miss Gu from the Prince's Mansion had an accident in the western suburbs, and asked the emperor to send a royal doctor to treat her."

Chu Yansheng had told him that the orphan girl had gone to the manor in the western suburbs this morning. "What happened? Is it serious?"

Duke Dingguo was 100% certain that the bombing sound just now was the explosion that occurred on the Prince's Mansion at the foot of Langyue Mountain.

The young eunuch shook his head. "I don't know the details. The prince only said that the situation was serious and asked the emperor to send the imperial guards and the imperial physician."

Duke Dingguo clenched his cheeks and clenched his fists in his sleeves in anger. This bastard played a trick on him and executed first and reported later.

At this time, Gu Li and Bai Lu had been dug out of the cave in the valley of Langyue Mountain. The master and servant were lucky. Half of the foot of the mountain collapsed, and they happened to hide under a hard rock, avoiding the explosion and landslide.

Bai Lu, who was protecting her master, held Gu Li in her arms and protected her under her body.

When she was found, Bai Lu was already unconscious.

It was Gu Li who kept shaking the golden bell on her wrist in the pit, which attracted Chu Yansheng to rescue her.

When Chu Yansheng rescued Gu Li, she was still awake, with one hand on Bai Lu's waist. The first thing she said when she saw the light of day again was: "Save Bai Lu, save Bai Lu."

She was worried that the servant would ignore the seriously injured Bai Lu after saving her. The hand protecting Bai Lu's waist tightly grabbed the maid's clothes, and the knuckles turned white from the force.

A line of tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, soaking the dust on her face. She didn't expect Bai Lu to risk her life to protect her, and she had clearly calculated that hiding under the rock cave would be enough to withstand the explosion.

Chu Yansheng held down her still-shaking golden bell and said softly, "What a smart girl! It's all right now!"

He checked and found that the blood on Gu Li's neck and chest should be from the maid. There were no visible wounds on her body for the time being.

Chu Yansheng took some effort to separate the master and servant, then carried Gu Li horizontally and stood up. He turned around and ordered Chang'an: "Chang'an, carry this maid out!"

Holding the person in his arms, Chu Yansheng's heart slowly came back to reality. When he arrived here, almost everyone in the village was looking for someone in the collapsed house. They all thought that Gu Li would not run into the cave. Even if she was in the cave, she would have been gone long ago with such a large mountain collapse.

But Chu Yansheng had a hunch that Gu Li was in the cave, so he brought his men to the cave filled with smoke and dust.

Fortunately, he found it.

The strong sunlight outside the cave stimulated Gu Li to turn her head and squeeze into Chu Yansheng's arms. Her two dirty little hands tightly grasped his collar, causing pain in Chu Yansheng's neck.

"Loosen up!"

But the woman in his arms didn't react at all. He used too much force on his hands, and blood started to ooze out of the tiny wound again.

Chu Yansheng pushed the person up, and Gu Li screamed in fear, her face almost buried in his clothes.

Some people not far away looked over here and ran over here.

"Have you found it? Have you found it?" Wei Lingyu ran in front with her skirt lifted up, her voice trembling. She reached out to pull Gu Li, but Chu Yansheng dodged her touch by turning sideways.

"She is injured. Prepare the carriage and return to the city immediately!"

Wei Lingyu nodded quickly, took off his coat and put it on Gu Li, "Keep it away from the light, so as not to hurt her eyes."

Chu Yansheng wrapped Gu Li from head to toe, then carried her towards the gate of the manor.

But when they arrived at the gate, the gatekeeper told them that the carriage was still there, but the horses that had been unloaded and taken to eat hay had run away because of fright.

Chu Yansheng frowned, turned sideways to block the gazes of others, and gently pressed on the person in his arms with one hand, causing Gu Li to struggle and dodge violently. A small hand reached into his collar, pinched his flesh, and twisted it hard.

"Hiss~" She really knew how to use her strength. She pinched him several times outside his clothes, but he let her do it. Now she even reached inside his clothes to do something bad.

He knew what was going on, and walked to the horse he had tied under the tree, picked her up with one hand, and climbed onto the horse. Chu Yansheng placed Gu Li on the horse's back, with her upper body still in his arms, and carefully lifted a corner of her clothes to meet her pair of dark eyes.

Her eyes filled with anger stared at the man who had touched her all over, as if she wanted to remember his appearance clearly, and when her people came, she vowed to stop his dirty hands.

Hey, "Why is it you?"

The already round eyes opened even wider, and the astonished little deer eyes looked over without blinking, as cute as a young cat waiting to be fed.

Something invisible struck Chu Yansheng's heart.

Chu Yansheng's heart softened, and he smiled helplessly, "I just want to check whether you have any internal injuries or broken bones, so that I can decide whether I can take you back to the city on horseback. I am not the kind of person who would rashly take advantage of you."

Gu Li felt a chill in her heart. What was going on? She clearly saw Chu Yansheng's lips moving, but she didn't hear a word.
