After entering the book, the cold prince begs for favor

Chapter 370 Leaving Liang Yusong

Meanwhile, Xuan Ying had already reunited with Su Shaodong.

The two studied the map for a long time, but neither knew which path to choose.

In the dense forest behind Ziyun Temple, Xuan Ying's fingertips anxiously traced patterns on the map, the parchment rustling softly.

Su Shaodong squatted on a rock to the side, his brows furrowed, staring at the spiderweb-like secret passage markings on the map.

"This Ziyun Temple is built like a maze," Su Shaodong slammed his fist on the stone surface. "There are four secret passages in the four cardinal directions, each leading in a different direction. The little beauty has already been inside for two hours. If we delay any longer..."

Xuan Ying was also anxious. The Second Prince and his group had already arrived and probably wouldn't linger at Ziyun Temple. If they didn't find the secret passage, they might lose track of the Crown Prince's wife.

"We can't delay any longer, Su Shaodong. You choose one, I'll choose one, and we'll split up."

Just then, both of them heard a noise.

The sound of rapid hoofbeats came from afar, and Sun Huanzhi rode up, asking, "How is it?"

He reined in his horse and jumped off, looking anxious.

Xuan Ying told him about the situation, and Sun Huanzhi took the map and looked at it carefully.

"Although Haining was brought out blindfolded, she has a very good sense of direction. She said that she was probably locked up on the southeast side of Ziyun Temple."

A glint flashed in Xuan Ying's eyes, and he slammed his finger heavily on the southeast corner of the map: "This secret passage should lead to the place where Miss Sun is imprisoned."

Su Shaodong agreed, "It must be good."

Sun Huanzhi said, "Even so, we can't be 100% certain. We'll split our forces into three routes, the one in the southeast..."

"I go."

"I'll take responsibility."

Su Shaodong and Xuan Ying spoke at the same time, and Sun Huanzhi felt a tightness in his chest, not even having a chance to speak.

He paused for a moment, then pointed to a secret passage exit to the west: "I'll go here."

In the end, Su Shaodong couldn't win against Xuan Ying, so he was put in charge of the secret passage in the southeast direction.

Su Shaodong: "I'm going to the Northern Route."

The three men simultaneously mounted their horses, exchanged a glance, and then rode off in different directions.

-

At this moment, the torches in the secret passage flickered, and the medicine in Yuan Wanru's hand had gradually dissipated.

The place is closed off year-round, with poor air circulation and a somewhat unpleasant smell, but Yuan Wanru's medicine wafting through it doesn't seem out of place.

Murong Xiao and Liang Yusong walked at the front of the group. Liang Yusong's complaints echoed between the stone walls: "Cousin, are we there yet? How long is this damn place?"

She was really tired.

Murong Xiao walked at the front, the firelight casting an uncertain shadow on half of his face:

Green Calyx suddenly turned around, sniffing suspiciously: "Can you smell something strange?"

Yuan Wanru's heart tightened; she hadn't expected that Lü'e's nose was so sensitive.

She didn't say anything, but Liang Yusong said impatiently, "This godforsaken place always smells awful."

Before Green Calyx could say anything more, she heard someone shout, "The exit is just ahead."

Liang Yusong looked ahead excitedly, and sure enough, there was light. "We've finally reached the end."

As Yuan Wanru calculated the time, a smile appeared on her lips. Yes, the end of your life is truly fast approaching.

They left the secret passage one by one. Yuan Wanru squinted, adjusting her eyes to the light outside. Liang Yusong came out before her, and seeing her unharmed, he felt a lump in his throat.

Yuan Wanru snapped out of her daze, met her hateful gaze, and gave her a sweet smile: "I really envy you. Your face never sees the sun, it must be so fair and tender right now."

That's nothing short of a blatant provocation.

Why can't Liang Yusong see the sun? Isn't it all thanks to her?

"Yuan Wanru!"

She walked over and raised her hand to slap him, but the other person slapped her back, making her head turn to the side. The crisp sound of the slap startled the birds in the woods.

Lü'e quickly stepped in to protect Liang Yusong, who angrily ordered, "Lü'e, teach her a lesson!"

Green Calyx darted forward, a cold glint flashing at her fingertips. Yuan Wanru, instead of retreating, advanced, thrusting her neck toward the dagger: "Come on, cut deeper. I just don't know if the Second Prince can't handle this poison. Besides me, who else can cure it?"

She deliberately emphasized the word "impotence," and Murong Xiao's face immediately turned ashen.

"Stop!" Murong Xiao grabbed Lü'e's wrist and turned to Yuan Wanru with murderous intent in his eyes. "Yuan Wanru, don't push your luck. Don't forget, you still have family in Nanjiang County."

He suddenly sneered, "I can't touch the Lu family, but surely I can kill a few lowly commoners?"

Yuan Wanru's pupils suddenly contracted.

That's utterly despicable and has no bottom line.

"Okay, I can give you the antidote now."

"The condition is that you kill Liang Yusong immediately."

Upon hearing this, Liang Yusong staggered backward, but tripped over a pile of loose stones.

She looked up at Murong Xiao, her painted nails digging deep into the soil: "Cousin, you wouldn't..."

Before he finished speaking, Murong Xiao's sword was already drawn three inches from its sheath, pointing at Yuan Wanru: "Insolence! Stop playing tricks and come with us right now."

Just then, Xuan Ying and the others suddenly jumped out.

Murong Xiao was surprised to find that there were people lying in ambush here, and the scene immediately became chaotic.

As a result, when Murong Xiao's people started to circulate their energy, they realized that something was wrong; their blood and energy were flowing in reverse.

"We've been poisoned!"

"How exactly did they get poisoned?!"

Xuan Ying and his men went on a killing spree. Murong Xiao's men, having been drugged by Yuan Wanru, were no match for them. Soon, only three or four of Murong Xiao's trusted men remained.

Murong Xiao was in turmoil. He looked at Yuan Wanru with sharp eyes and said, "It's you."

Yuan Wanru smiled faintly: "It's me. Didn't you want to arrest me?"

"I've practically delivered myself to your door, and you still can't catch me. You're really incompetent."

Murong Xiao was so angry that his face turned green. Green calyx had clearly searched her body just now, so when was the poison administered?

This woman's methods are incredibly powerful; he was careless.

"Your Highness, leave quickly!"

Although they desperately wanted to put up a fight, the situation was dire, and they had absolutely no chance of winning.

Xuan Ying was already standing beside Yuan Wanru. Murong Xiao knew that he was destined not to catch Yuan Wanru today.

"I refuse to believe you dare kill me! I am a prince!"

Yuan Wanru nodded: "Indeed, I don't intend to kill you, Second Prince. You can leave, but Liang Yusong can stay. How about that?"

"cousin!"

Liang Yusong was scared. Would her cousin still choose her this time?

She wasn't sure.

Murong Xiao glanced at her with difficulty: "If you don't believe me, I won't let my cousin keep the baby."

Yuan Wanru sneered: "Fine, since the Second Prince values ​​loyalty and righteousness so much, then I have no choice but to take the risk."

"This is the middle of nowhere. Even if you die, who would suspect me?"

"Since the Second Prince is determined to die, I'll take a big gamble and send both of you to the Western Paradise."

"Xuan Ying, make your move."
