As expected, there was always a way out. After the four of them exchanged looks, they walked into the cave.
After they entered, the cave quickly returned to its original state. Even if anyone came, they would only see a pile of bushes.
The cave entrance was a set of stone steps that led straight down.
After they walked down, they saw that it was a large cave.
The temperature in the cave was suitable. It was neither hot nor cold. It was very comfortable.
After walking to the side, Li Xiaoran realized that they were actually under the cliff.
She could see the deep cliff below.
Looking up, she saw a tree shrouded in vines.
From the looks of it, even if someone stood at the edge of the cliff and looked down, they wouldn’t be able to see the situation here!
Seeing this, Li Xiaoran smiled and pulled everyone into the cave.
The cave was still very clean. Perhaps because it was ventilated in a few places, there was no acc.u.mulated dust.
On the other side of the cave, there was actually a vegetable field. Due to neglect, all kinds of vegetables grew in the vegetable field in a haphazard manner.
Li Xiaoran immediately saw a few tomatoes hidden in the messy vegetable garden.
At this moment, the vines were filled with red tomatoes.
If Li Xiaoran and the others had come a little later, those fruits would have fallen to the ground and become fertilizer for the soil.
After Li Xiaoran picked the ripe tomatoes and washed them with the stream flowing at the side of the cave, she took a bite and enjoyed the juiciness.
“Sigh, this tomato is delicious!” Li Xiaoran said as she ate with relish.
The others didn’t stand on ceremony. Everyone went to wash one and ate it.
Just as the four of them finished off a tomato each, someone came from the cliff.
“What’s going on? Didn’t they say that they found traces of people going up the mountain? Why aren’t there any footprints behind them?” a man said gloomily.
“Stop whining! As long as we capture the Seventh Prince’s consort, we’ll be able to make a great contribution today. Speaking of which, we’re actually quite lucky to have been sent to capture a woman. The Seventh Prince’s consort is from the countryside and doesn’t have much capabilities, so as long as we find her, we’ll be able to capture her easily. Then, those people can deal with the
Seventh Prince!” Another man with a hoa.r.s.e voice persuaded.
“You’re right. If we go against the Seventh Prince now, we might lose our lives! I heard that the Seventh Prince will have many capable people around him in the future!” The man who spoke first said.
“That’s right. Now you know why I dragged you to capture the Seventh Prince’s consort! This task is easier and less risky. How good is that?!” The man with a hoa.r.s.e voice spoke with an expression that said, “You have to thank me.”
“Yes, yes, yes. Thank you for helping me today! When we go back this time, I’ll invite you to the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant to listen to music!” The man who spoke first said gratefully.
When the man with the hoa.r.s.e voice heard that the other party wanted to invite him to the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant to listen to music, he immediately agreed happily.
“At least you have a conscience! Let’s go. There’s nothing to investigate here. It’s obvious that the Seventh Prince’s consort isn’t here. Let’s go elsewhere to look! ”
At this point, the two people on the cliff looked in the other direction.
Sensing that the two emotions were getting further and further away, Li Xiaoran heaved a sigh of relief.
“Alright, we can talk now! The people who came looking for us outside have already left!”
After hearing Li Xiaoran’s words, Shu Ruyue heaved a sigh of relief.
“Xiaoran, you have such good hearing. Did you hear what those two people said?”
Li Xiaoran shook her head and said, “The wind was strong and the two of them weren’t talking loudly. I could only hear someone talking, but I couldn’t hear what they were saying!”
Shu Ruyue was a little disappointed.
“Fair enough. The wind is so loud, so it’s impossible to hear anything!”
On the other side, Luo Cheng, who was in the farmstead at the foot of the mountain, sneered at his second brother.
“What brings you here, Second Prince?!”
When the second prince heard Luo Cheng’s sarcastic remark, his expression darkened.
“Luo Cheng, if you know what’s good for you, give me the antidote for those manias. Then, I can even leave your corpse intact on account of us being brothers!”
“What if I don’t?” Luo Cheng asked with a beautiful smile.
Seeing Luo Cheng’s handsome face, the second prince, Ling Kun, gritted his teeth in hatred.
When he was young, Ling Kun had found Luo Cheng’s face annoying, so he hated Luo Cheng and always wanted to trample on him.
However, many years later, Luo Cheng left the royal family on his own accord.
At that time, Ling Kun was really overjoyed!
In the past, because Luo Cheng was in the capital, he always had to be careful.
Now that Luo Cheng was out of the capital, he naturally didn’t have any more scruples.
Unfortunately, none of the a.s.sa.s.sins he sent out succeeded. Luo Cheng still managed to settle down in Sichuan safely.
“Luo Cheng, you shouldn’t have come back! If you hadn’t come back, I could have spared your life!” Ling Kun said resentfully.
Luo Cheng sneered disdainfully when he heard this.
“Second Brother, are you still blaming me for your cousin’s death? Your mother is really scheming! She doesn’t want you to continue being with your cousin, but she doesn’t want you to hate her either, so she framed me for all of this! Poor you. You’ve lived for more than 20 years, but you’re still such a fool.” At the mention of this, the second prince lost his rationality.
All these years, he dreamed of the scene of his beloved cousin dead in Luo
Cheng’s bed every night.
Over the years, every time he thought of this, he wished he could kill Luo Cheng.
“How dare you talk about this? Didn’t you hate me for bullying you back then? That’s why you used my cousin to take revenge on me! Luo Cheng, you have the guts to do it but not the guts to admit it?!”
When Luo Cheng heard this, his expression darkened.
“I told you, that person wasn’t me! If you were rational, you would have been able to tell that that person had been disguised as me! On the day you were schemed against, I wasn’t in the capital at all. I was knocked out and thrown into a mountain.”
“It was you, but you’re still quibbling!” The second prince was so angry that his eyes were filled with viciousness and he wished he could kill Luo Cheng now. Luo Cheng had always been unwilling to take the blame, not to mention that he had someone he loved now.
Therefore, he looked at Zi Cheng and asked him to bring two people up.
Soon, two palace servants appeared in front of Ling Kun. Ling Kun looked at the two of them in surprise..
