At this moment, Princess Tao Ran was like boiling oil, and her body was hot.
She desperately wanted relief.
She reached out and looked at Xiao Juan with pleading eyes.
“Brother MO Zhu, give it to me. Please…”
Xiao Juan frowned. “There’s something wrong with your current state. I’ll go find a physician. Don’t move.”
With that, he turned around and walked away mercilessly.
No matter how Princess Tao Ran shouted, he did not turn around.
Princess Tao Ran was left alone in the dark forest.
At this moment, she really hated Xiao Juan.
She hated him for being so heartless.
She had already done so much for him, but he still ignored her.
The heat in her body was still rising, and the hatred in her heart was eating away at her heart like a poisonous snake.
She kept twisting on the ground, crying out in pain.
At this moment, Han Chengxi quietly walked to her side.
He squatted down and gently stroked Princess Tao Ran’s face.
“Such a beautiful woman took the initiative to come to Duke Lang, but he still refused. What a waste.”
Princess Tao Ran was already confused.
She felt her cheek being touched. Immediately, it was as if she was someone
She felt her cheek being touched. Immediately, it was as if she was someone who had been thirsty for a long time and had found nectar. She hurriedly grabbed that hand and took the initiative to lean over. She touched the other party with her body and kept calling him Brother MO Zhu.
Han Chengxi raised her chin. “Look carefully. I’m not your Brother MO Zhu.”
Under the hazy moonlight, Princess Tao Ran saw the person in front of her clearly.
The other party was actually Han Chengxi.
She felt disgusted and wanted to pull her hand away.
However, Han Chengxi held her hand tightly.
“Little beauty, since Duke Lang doesn’t want you, let me dote on you.”
Princess Tao Ran shrank back and said in a trembling voice, “What do you want? Don’t do anything rash. I’m the princess of Dayan. I’m going to marry your father. Don’t touch me!”
Her struggle was no different from scratching an itch for Han Chengxi.
Han Chengxi easily pressed her under him.
“Father is old. He can’t satisfy you. Why don’t you just follow me? I’ll make you happy.”
Princess Tao Ran was really afraid now.
She shouted in fear, “Help! Brother MO Zhu, save me!”
Han Chengxi spoke slowly as he tore off her clothes.
“Stop shouting. Your Brother MO Zhu can’t even protect himself now. He can’t save you.”
Princess Tao Ran asked, ‘What did you do to Brother MO Zhu?”
Han Chengxi lowered his head and approached her with a smile. “He was so heartless to you. Do you hate him to death?” “Don’t worry, I’ve arranged for someone to kill him for you soon.” “Look how good I am to you. Shouldn’t you be grateful to me?”
Princess Tao Ran had indeed thought of destroying Xiao Juan, but it was definitely not in a situation where she could not even protect herself.
Facing Han Chengxi, she could still resist a little at first, but as the effects of the knockout powder became stronger and stronger.
Later, she gradually gave up resisting and completely sank.
Facing the generous conditions offered by the Sixth Prince, Wei Liao looked like he was really tempted.
Yu Niaoniao’s heart sank.
If Wei Liao was really instigated to defect, she, Meng Xizhou, and the others would be in an extremely difficult situation. At that time, not to mention finding Xiao Juan, it would be a problem for them to leave this place alive.
In order to make Wei Liao make up his mind as soon as possible, Shen Rui added another layer of chips.
“Here are 100,000 taels of silver. I don’t need you to do anything. As long as you don’t do anything and leave here quietly, these 100,000 taels of silver are yours. ”
He pulled a thick stack of banknotes from his sleeve and handed them to the guard beside him.
The guard walked up to Wei Liao with the banknotes.
Yu Niaoniao involuntarily held her breath.
She secretly tightened her grip on the crossbow hidden in her sleeve. Once Wei Liao really defected, she would have to fight to the death.
Shen Rui smiled at Wei Liao and said calmly.
“Although money isn’t omnipotent, if you have money, it can make your life much more comfortable.”
“If you think 100,000 taels is not enough, I can add more. You can name the number.”
At this moment, everyone present looked at Wei Liao, waiting for his answer.
Wei Liao looked at the banknotes in front of him and took it without hesitation.
Yu Niaoniao was disappointed, but she was not surprised.
After all, Wei Liao was unrelated to her. Why would he give up such generous conditions to help her?
Meng Xizhou and the other five Eagle Guards’ expressions immediately turned very ugly.
The smile on Shen Rui’s face deepened, and his eyes were filled with smugness.
“As expected of Wei Huai’en’s adopted son. He’s really sensible and smart!”
Wei Liao smiled as well. “I have a question. Should I ask?” Shen Rui was in a good mood and said generously.
“Ask away. ”
Wei Liao asked, “Did you go through so much trouble to capture the Princess Consort of Lang County to use her as a hostage to threaten Duke Lang?” At this point, there was nothing to hide. Shen Rui admitted frankly.
“That’s right. Aren’t you very annoyed with Duke Lang too? As long as you get rid of him, you and your Sky Wolf Guards will be the dominant force in the future.”
Wei Liao continued to ask, “You can’t kill Duke Lang alone. Do you have other accomplices?”
The smile on Shen Rui’s face faded.
“That’s none of your business.”
However, Wei Liao continued speaking as if he hadn’t heard the other party’s warning.
“Let me guess. Could your accomplice be the Ninth Prince of the Chen Nation?”
“You colluded with an enemy and intended to murder Duke Lang on the way to send the bride.”
“It’s to stop Duke Lang from continuing to investigate the case of Imperial
Concubine Yue’s murder.”
Shen Rui’s face completely darkened. “Shut up!”
Wei Liao waved the banknotes in his hand, causing the thin paper to rustle.
He had a casual smile on his face, and his tone was light.
“100,000 taels of silver is indeed very tempting. The Justice Department is also what I want.’
“But I’ve had a problem since I was young. I hate traitors the most.”
“I don’t like your dirty money.”
With that, he tore the banknote into pieces in front of everyone and raised it.
The pieces of paper were blown away by the night wind like snow.
Yu Niaoniao, Meng Xizhou, and the others were stunned.
Damn, was this still the Wei Liao they knew?
There was actually light on his body!
That was the light of the righteous path!
At this moment, Shen Rui’s face was as dark as water.
He looked at Wei Liao with killing intent.
“Do you have to go against me to the end?!”
Wei Liao ignored Shen Rui. He turned to look at Yu Niaoniao and said casually.
“Don’t you want to save your prince? Leave now.”
Yu Niaoniao was stunned. “Now?”
“If you don’t leave now, you might not be able to.”
Yu Niaoniao said, “But how can I leave?”
Wei Liao put his index finger and thumb to his mouth and whistled loudly.
A moment later, there was the sound of hurried hooves in the distance.
Immediately after, a snow-white horse rushed out of the forest and headed straight for Wei Liao.
Yu Niaoniao recognized it at a glance.. It was Wei Liao’s horse!
