Soon, Yun Ruoyue led everyone to wait at the door of Prince Li's Mansion. She stood there and looked up.
She clenched her hands, feeling both excited and expectant. She hadn't seen Chu Xuanchen for a long time, and she had long wanted him to her core.
Thinking of his affectionate and smiling eyes, she felt shy and a little nervous.
"Princess, look, here we come!"
After Mo Zhu pointed to the alley in the distance, he saw a group of soldiers in armor riding horses towards Prince Li's Mansion.
Among them, the one riding the horse at the forefront was a heroic man wearing armor. The fog on the street was too thick and there was heavy snow falling in the sky, so Yun Ruoyue could not see the man clearly.
But she was sure that this was Chu Xuanchen.
"Xuanchen, you are back!"
As soon as she saw the team approaching, Yun Ruoyue rushed forward.
As a result, when she rushed to the team with a smile, she found that the person on the horse was not Chu Xuanchen, but Mo Li with a sad look on his face.
She was stunned, "Moli, why is it you?
Where is the prince?"
"Your Majesty, he..." Moli bit her lip uncomfortably, not daring to say any more.
"I understand. Your Majesty, he must have gone to the palace to submit his resignation to the emperor, right?"
Yun Ruoyue said happily.
But just after she finished speaking, she noticed that Moli and the others looked sad and plain.
Everyone had red eyes and looked at her with a sad face, and there was a strong aura of sadness floating around.
Yun Ruoyue was shocked, "Moli, Military Master Feng, why are you looking like this?
Didn’t you win the battle?
Why are you not happy, but why are you so sad?"
Moli's eyes were deep red. He closed his eyes in discomfort, quickly dismounted, and said, "Princess, I'm sorry! My lord, he fell into someone else's trap when he was suppressing bandits. His abdomen was injured, and he was poisoned. He was forced to fall by the bandits.
It’s over the edge..."
"What?
Fall off a cliff?
The wise king clearly said that he won the battle and that you were all fine, so how could he fall off the cliff?"
When Yun Ruoyue heard this, her heart tightened and she looked in disbelief.
She said and quickly looked at the wise king next to her.
King Xian hurriedly said: "Yes, Moli, I have received news that Brother Huang and you are all safe and sound. How could he fall off the cliff? What is going on?"
Moli said sadly: "This news cannot be spread outside, so only we know.
My lord, he was plotted against and indeed fell off the cliff.
Under that cliff is an abyss of ten thousand feet, which is very dangerous.
We searched at the bottom of the cliff for four or five days but could not find the prince."
"What..." Yun Ruoyue trembled all over and her eyes trembled slightly.
Mo Li pointed to the wooden box Feng Qingyang held in his hand and said: "Princess, I'm sorry, we couldn't bring the prince back, we only brought his armor and sword back to you!"
With that said, Feng Qingyang opened the wooden box and said sadly: "Princess, the mountain is very steep and wild beasts are rampant inside.
The prince was poisoned, stabbed in the abdomen, and fell from such a high place.
I'm afraid, I'm afraid that there are no bones left, so please, Princess... please show your condolences!"
"What?"
When Yun Ruoyue heard this, her body softened, her vision went dark, and she fell to the ground.
"Xiaoyue!"
The wise king roared and held her up.
"princess!"
Everyone shouted in worry, while Feng'er and the others cried heartbrokenly.
At this time, Yun Ruoyue woke up leisurely in the arms of King Xian. As soon as she woke up, her eyes were staring at the wooden box with deep red eyes.
Seeing that the armor and sword in the wooden box were cold and lifeless, she suddenly stood up and walked towards the wooden box.
