Mo Yang entered and said in a low voice. Jun Mo looked up and saw Mo Yun behind Mo Yang, covered in blood. He shot up from his seat. "What happened?" Jun Mo asked grimly. "Your... Your Highness, the Young Miss has been abducted!" Mo Yun tried his best to stay conscious. "Mo Yang, gather all the Mo Guards, follow this Prince!" "Yes!" ... When Su Li woke up, the sky outside was already nearing dusk. She sat up abruptly, nearly falling back down. She instantly realized she had been drugged with Soft Bone Powder. She felt for her waist—sure enough, her medicine was gone. She slowly got up and surveyed the room. The room wasn’t large, nor was it luxurious; it couldn’t be more ordinary. Looking through the window, she realized it was a small farmer’s courtyard. Have I already left the capital city? Hopefully, Jun Mo can find the clues I left. Just then, footsteps approached. Su Li quickly lay back down on the bed, closed her eyes, and pretended she hadn’t woken up yet. "Master, the person is inside." Then came the sound of the door opening. Su Li felt eyes sizing her up. "You may leave." "Yes, Master." That voice! Su Li was horrified internally. How dare he!! "Since Miss Su is awake, why not accompany this Heir for a chat." Seeing she had been discovered, Su Li decided not to pretend anymore. She opened her eyes and struggled to sit up. "Heir, what is the meaning of this?" Su Li looked at Liang Xuanting, asking coldly. Liang Xuanting lifted the hem of his robe and sat down at the table, pouring himself a cup of tea. "Meaning? Naturally, it is to escort this Heir’s Heir Consort back to Nanjiang." Liang Xuanting took a sip of tea and said unhurriedly. Su Li was taken aback, not expecting him to be so persistent. "Heir, I am now the future Princess Consort. By doing this, are you trying to incite war between our two countries?" Liang Xuanting sneered and said: "It was clearly this Heir who first requested the Tianqi Emperor grant this marriage. You were supposed to be my Heir Consort, yet some baseless engagement suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Heh! Do you take this Heir for a fool?" Su Li said coldly: "Why must the Heir be like this? Su Li is just an ordinary woman. No! Worse than an ordinary woman, a faceless woman with a ruined appearance, unworthy of the Heir’s persistence." Liang Xuanting glanced at Su Li with a faint smile that wasn’t quite a smile. "Miss Su has truly deceived the world. This Heir doesn’t understand. With such devastating beauty beneath the veil, why willingly let yourself be rumored as Tianqi’s ugliest woman? For what reason?" Su Li’s expression changed. How did this person find out? Noticing her surprise, Liang Xuanting’s lips curled into a smile. "Alright, obediently return to Nanjiang with this Heir and be this Heir’s Heir Consort. Don’t think about unrealistic things. We have already left the capital city; no one can catch up." Su Li lowered her eyelids, saying nothing. "Heir! Someone is pursuing us!" Liang Xuanting was startled. So quickly? "Help Miss Su onto the carriage!" Seeing the smile at the corners of Su Li’s lips, Liang Xuanting said coldly: "I intended to let you rest well for a night. It seems we’ll have to travel through the night now." As his voice fell, two women entered to change Su Li’s clothes and hairstyle, then deftly applied makeup to her face. Soon, Su Li transformed from a peerless beauty into an ordinary married woman. Seeing there were no flaws, the two women picked up Su Li’s jewelry, preparing to put it away. "Return this hairpin to me! It was given to me by my mother!" Su Li snatched the hairpin. Seeing the hairpin was very plain and unremarkable, the two women tacitly allowed it. Su Li’s lips curved slightly. This is all thanks to Liang Xuanting constantly calling me ’Heir Consort’. As long as her requests weren’t too excessive, these servants wouldn’t refuse. Su Li, drugged with Soft Bone Powder, let them handle her before being helped onto the carriage. Su Li glanced at the carriage wheels, then lowered her eyes and sat quietly inside. Liang Xuanting had also changed his appearance, becoming an ordinary-looking man. Seeing her so quiet, he raised an eyebrow. Feeling uneasy, he quickly pressed two points on Su Li’s body again. Su Li opened her mouth but couldn’t make a sound. Liang Xuanting said: "Miss Su must endure this grievance." Then he also boarded the carriage, which immediately started moving rapidly. Su Li’s fingers twitched. Fortunately, although my mute acupuncture point was sealed and I’m drugged with Soft Bone Powder, making movement slow and difficult, I can still move. She quietly took out the hairpin, twisted it slightly, and instantly, a silver needle was in her hand. Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves came from outside the carriage. Su Li’s face lit up with joy. Then, the carriage jolted and came to an abrupt stop. "Officer, what are you doing?" The coachman’s voice came from outside. Then, Jun Mo’s voice followed. "Who is in the carriage?" "It’s my wife. She’s ill, and our master is taking her out to seek medical treatment!" "Open the curtain!" "Officer..." Jun Mo had no patience and stepped forward, pulling the curtain aside himself. "Officer, you’ve seen her. Can we go now?" Liang Xuanting’s voice, somehow altered, became deep and hoarse. Su Li was held in Liang Xuanting’s embrace. To outsiders, they looked like a loving couple. Su Li was anxious internally but couldn’t speak. Held hostage by Liang Xuanting, she couldn’t move either, relying only on her eyes. Liang Xuanting pressed her face into his chest. "Wife, don’t be afraid. They will leave soon." Suddenly, the folding fan in Jun Mo’s hand was right before Liang Xuanting’s eyes. Liang Xuanting was startled and leaned back sharply. Barely dodging the deadly fan, he pushed Su Li away and flew out of the carriage, engaging Jun Mo in combat. Numerous black-clothed individuals instantly surged out from the surroundings, clashing with the Mo Guards brought by Jun Mo. A black-clothed man leaped onto the carriage, grabbed the reins, and drove the carriage away. Su Li lifted the curtain and stabbed the needle into the black-clothed man’s neck. The man cried out in alarm and pitched towards the ground. But at the last moment, the black-clothed man threw the knife in his hand towards the horse’s leg. The horse suddenly neighed, bolting madly into the forest as if crazed. Jun Mo and Liang Xuanting were heard shouting. "Li’er!" "Miss Su!" Both figures dashed frantically in her direction. Su Li was jostled severely, gritting her teeth as she reached for the reins. Her palm was rubbed raw and bleeding by the reins, but she held on desperately. Suddenly, Su Li’s eyes widened. No one knew that the end of this forest was a cliff! Su Li had only one thought: She—could—not—die! In a split second, Su Li leaped forward. She expected to be severely injured, if not dead. Instead, she fell into an embrace filled with a cold fragrance. Jun Mo held her, rolling backward several times before stopping. "Li’er, how are you?" His tone held unconcealed anxiety. This was the first time Su Li had seen him like this. Previously, his smiles were always calculating or detached. Seeing she didn’t answer, Jun Mo knew her mute point had been sealed. He reached out and unsealed the acupuncture point for her. "Li’er." Su Li said softly: "I’m fine. You get up first." Only then did Jun Mo realize their current posture. His face grew hot. Su Li noticed with surprise that the tips of his ears turned red at a visible speed. Jun Mo got up and helped Su Li to her feet. "So you weren’t drugged with Soft Bone Powder!" Liang Xuanting’s voice came. His tone was unreadable, unclear whether it held lingering fear or anger.
