Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Seeing that Li Xiaoran didn’t resist, the Eldest Princess and the others walked down the mountain.

Zi Cheng had been following Li Xiaoran. As long as the Eldest Princess’s people didn’t hurt Li Xiaoran, he would follow quietly.

If anyone attacked, he would immediately take action.

It was unknown if the Eldest Princess really didn’t want to make things difficult for Li Xiaoran, but she hadn’t done anything yet.

However, Zi Cheng didn’t let his guard down. Instead, he remained vigilant.

On the other hand, Li Xiaoran was very calm.

As they walked, the group of people approached the place where Li Xiaoran and the others had set up the trap.

Li Xiaoran didn’t slow down and kept walking calmly.

Meng Yan and Ma Chongshan walked at the back because one of them was injured.

Li Xiaoran didn’t walk with the two of them because she knew that being by her side was the most dangerous.

Therefore, by not walking with Meng Yan and Ma Chongshan, she was protecting them.

As they walked, the Eldest Princess suddenly felt a little dizzy.

At first, no one took it seriously and thought that it was just their illusion.

However, not long after, they all collapsed to the ground.

Seeing this, the people behind quickly retreated. Then, they took out a pill from their pockets and ate it.

Even the Eldest Princess took an antidote pill under Wei Li’s protection.

“You poisoned us?” When the Eldest Princess saw Li Xiaoran’s calm expression, she immediately understood something.

Seeing this, Li Xiaoran revealed a puzzled look.

“How did I poison you guys? I didn’t move at all, so how could I poison you

When the Eldest Princess heard Li Xiaoran’s question, she immediately frowned.

“Your people are still around here? I was wondering why you dared to come out to see me with just one person. Turns out that you have a backup plan! Kill Ma Chongshan!”

As soon as she finished speaking, one of the Eldest Princess’s men took out his saber and slashed at Ma Chongshan.

In the blink of an eye, an arrow flew over from afar and hit the guard who attacked, killing him.

Then, arrows were shot at the Eldest Princess and the others, including Li Xiaoran and Zi Cheng.

Zi Cheng protected Li Xiaoran as they retreated to the side. Then, the two of them quickly hid behind a few big trees.

Then, someone jumped out to escort Meng Yan and Ma Chongshan away.

Li Xiaoran could sense that these people who suddenly appeared had no ill intentions towards Meng Yan and Ma Chongshan. This group of people was probably here to save Meng Yan and Ma Chongshan.

After confirming that her good friend was saved, Li Xiaoran heaved a sigh of relief.

In the middle of the road, the Eldest Princess was also escorted by Wei Li to the forest by the roadside to hide, leaving only corpses lying on the ground.

Li Xiaoran thought of something and asked worriedly, “I wonder how our people are doing?”

When Zi Cheng heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he picked up the whistle and blew it.

Then, another whistle sounded.

After hearing this whistle, Zi Cheng heaved a sigh of relief.

“Madam, they’re fine. They’re safe now! Since Miss Meng and the others have left safely, let’s leave too! Leave the rest to the others!”

Li Xiaoran felt that her people would be restricted if she stayed here, so it was better for her to leave.

“Don’t go back to the cave yet. Let’s take a detour to another place! The Eldest Princess is a powerful figure, so we can’t underestimate her. It’s better to be careful!”

Zi Cheng nodded and walked out.

However, as they walked, the two of them met the Eldest Princess in the forest not far away.

“What a coincidence! Li Xiaoran, let’s see how you escape from me today!”

When the Eldest Princess saw Li Xiaoran and Zi Cheng, she sneered and said.

When Li Xiaoran heard the Eldest Princess’s words, she immediately laughed.

“Speaking of which, I also think that the Eldest Princess and I are very fated!”

“What are you laughing at?” The Eldest Princess asked curiously when she saw Li Xiaoran’s reaction.

“No, I’m very happy to see you again! Didn’t you say that you wanted to bring me to see my husband? Why don’t you bring me away now?!” Li Xiaoran said.

As soon as she said this, not only was the Eldest Princess shocked, but even Zi Cheng was shocked.

Could it be that the reason Li Xiaoran asked him to take a detour was so that she could meet the Eldest Princess and see Mr. Luo?

Although this idea was a little ridiculous, Zi Cheng felt that Li Xiaoran was someone who would do such a thing.

The Eldest Princess looked at Li Xiaoran cautiously and sized her up.

“What are you thinking? Your motive is definitely not that simple!”

Li Xiaoran said with a smile, “What else can I want? Of course I want to see my man! Eldest Princess, he really cares about me too much. In order not to let me follow him and be in danger, he trapped me here. But the heavens gave me a chance now and sent you here so that I can see my husband again!”

“Li Xiaoran, do you think I’ll be fooled by your excuse? You’re smart, so you definitely have a scheme in mind! Don’t you know that once you fall into my hands, your man won’t dare to disobey us The Eldest Princess stared at Li Xiaoran as she asked.

“I know? It’s precisely because I know that I’m following you guys to see my husband!” Li Xiaoran revealed a happy look as she said, “If I fall into your hands, my husband won’t go against the current emperor because he wants to save me! As long as my husband submits to the emperor, we can be together and won’t be separated!”

Upon hearing Li Xiaoran’s words, everyone was stunned.

No one expected Li Xiaoran to think that way.

Was Li Xiaoran too naive? Or was Li Xiaoran so scheming that they couldn’t see through her true thoughts at all?

Zi Cheng was also very shocked and even a little worried!

He was worried that Li Xiaoran would really do something stupid just because she wanted to see Mr. Luo!

However, he didn’t say anything and continued to stand beside Li Xiaoran dutifully, as if she hadn’t said anything outrageous!

The Eldest Princess wasn’t fooled by Li Xiaoran’s words. Instead, she was certain that Li Xiaoran must have her reasons. It was just that she didn’t understand Li Xiaoran’s motive for the time being!

“It doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter if what you said is true or not. Just follow me!” The Eldest Princess said.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“No, no, no, not this time!” Li Xiaoran shook her head and said when she heard the Eldest Princess’s words.

As soon as she said this, everyone was puzzled! Wei Li became even more vigilant and sized up her surroundings carefully.

Li Xiaoran said with a smile, “In the forest, there are many mosquitoes! Although it’s already late autumn, because the weather has warmed up in the past few days, many mosquitoes have run out! I believe you’ve already been bitten while walking in the forest!”
