Chapter 312 Arrival
Xie Yanli looked down at the hem of his outer robe and found that it was soaked with wolf blood.
He drew his longsword and decisively cut off the bloodstained part with swift and clean movements.
He then pinched one corner and threw it into the bushes nearby.
Gao Xian also drew his dagger and quickly cut off the blood-stained part of his outer robe.
"Clean."
Xie Yanli's expression returned to its usual cold and stern demeanor.
He checked everything carefully, making sure all the bloodstained items were cleaned up, before slowly straightening up.
The surroundings remained quiet, with only the sound of the wind and the occasional rustling of branches.
"Set off, and arrive before dark."
After speaking, Xie Yanli took the lead, his steps as swift as the wind, passing through one low shrub after another with almost no pause.
Qin Jiuwei was wearing riding gear, which did not affect her walking, so she immediately started walking and quickly caught up.
Mo Qingkui's clothes were cumbersome, and she felt full of complaints as she watched them walk so fast.
But she was even more afraid of being alone and falling into the clutches of wolves.
Despite being a little out of breath, he quickened his pace.
They didn't slow down for a moment, moving quickly towards the safe house.
The shadows in the woods kept sweeping past me.
But no one stopped, and no one spoke.
On the cliff.
The imperial physician lowered his head to take Shen Xingjian's pulse, his fingers resting on his wrist.
A moment later, he straightened up, his eyes revealing a hint of surprise.
"General Shen's recovery is much faster than I expected. It's the first time I've seen someone recover so quickly from such a serious injury."
Upon hearing this, Xie Jingchun hurriedly stepped forward, his tone full of urging.
"In that case, let's set off quickly and find Father and Mother as soon as possible."
He turned to look at Shen Xingjian, "General Shen, you are injured, but it's alright, I can carry you to find it!"
Shen Xingjian: ...
Does it have to be like this?
He was somewhat reluctant.
The imperial physician quickly stopped him, saying, "There's no need for that. General Shen can still walk, as long as he avoids strenuous activity."
Shen Xingjian: I'm relieved.
"Then how are we going to get down the cliff?" Xie Jing asked Shen Xingjian, his brows furrowed.
“The area below the cliff is shrouded in mist. We sent many people down there, but they couldn’t get down at all.”
Shen Xingjian raised his eyelids and chuckled, "There's no need to go down the cliff; there's actually a secret passage."
A secret passage! There's actually a secret passage!
Everyone present was taken aback.
Upon hearing this, Xie Jing became even more certain that the fall off the cliff was a staged act orchestrated by his father.
Under the cliff.
The group hurried along and finally reached a safe point before sunset.
The afterglow of the setting sun spilled onto the roof of the cabin, giving it a soft, orange-red glow.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Outside the cabin was a patch of low bushes, and next to it was a dark cave, with the cabin built right next to the cave entrance.
The room was neat and clean, with a wooden bed and several rough straw mats.
There were also many snacks and fruits on the wooden shelf in the corner.
Xie Yanli quickly surveyed the area, and only after confirming that there were no ambushes inside did he turn back to look at the others.
"It's safe here for now, you can rest for a bit."
Qin Jiuwei was a little tired, so she went straight to the bed and sat down.
Gao Xian also found a place to sit down.
Mo Qingkui walked directly toward the wooden frame.
She couldn't wait to pick up a fruit and take a few bites.
Juice spilled from the fruit, but she didn't bother wiping her mouth; she just hurriedly reached for another one.
She's been starving for the past three days!
After falling off the cliff on the first day, they didn't go looking for food.
The next day, they were forced to switch fruits with Qin Jiuwei!
The fruit was sour and astringent, and it was impossible to eat it!
She went hungry all day until evening when she finally got some fresh fruit.
The rabbit meat and mushrooms on the third day were so bad that they were almost inedible.
Qin Jiuwei and Xie Yanli can't even cook!
She was practically starving!
Xie Yanli stood up and patted the dust off his sleeves.
"You all rest here first, I'll go into the cave to find a way out."
The cave has secret passages, but they are hidden very deep and not easy to find.
He was looking at Qin Jiuwei when he spoke.
Qin Jiuwei nodded slightly after listening.
“I’ll go with you,” Gao Xian suddenly said.
If he leaves, the three of them will be alone in the house.
This feeling is awful...
The two then left, having heard that they could leave.
Upon hearing this, a hint of joy flashed in Mo Qingkui's eyes.
The corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up slightly.
However, the next moment, the corners of her mouth that were turned up suddenly froze.
Now, Gao Xian's attitude towards her has completely changed.
If she returns to the palace like this, will she still be able to retain the favor of Consort Chen?
Will her prestige and power remain the same as before?
Could those gorgeous clothes and jewelry still be hers?
The thought made her heart tighten and her breathing quicken.
Panic and unease intertwined, and my whole body tensed up.
All of the body's senses are amplified instantly.
The juice that had dripped onto her hands while she was eating fruit felt like a sticky film clinging tightly to her skin.
Her palms started to feel numb and itchy, making her want to scream.
Mo Qingkui rushed out quickly.
When she came over just now, she vaguely saw that there was a lake nearby.
Mo Qingkui walked quickly to the lakeside, squatted down, and put her hands directly into the icy water.
She scrubbed her fingers vigorously, her nails digging until her skin turned red.
Her breathing became more and more rapid, and her movements became more violent.
He rubbed his hands until they ached and went numb.
What is she going to do?
What to do!
