After a while, there seemed to be some movement in the forest.

Li Xiaoran had been trying her best to sense the situation of the people opposite her.

“There’s been no movement for a while. Did our plan succeed?” Wu Ke couldn’t help but ask.

“Shut up and hide! Don’t speak!” Li Xiaoran scolded.

Wu Ke felt a little aggrieved and wanted to retort, but he received a warning gaze from General Guo.

“A good man doesn’t fight with a woman! Consider herself lucky!” Wii Ke muttered.

Li Xiaoran didn’t notice Wu Ke’s emotions at all. At this moment, she was sensing the enemies’ emotions.

Their originally calm emotions suddenly changed at a certain point.

Many people began to panic and become agitated.

When Li Xiaoran realized this, she smiled!

However, she didn’t call everyone out. Instead, she continued to wait.

As expected, the people hiding there became more and more emotional, and Li Xiaoran heard their thoughts clearly.

After Li Xiaoran heard their leader’s thoughts and confirmed that those people had fallen for it, she heaved a sigh of relief.

“Alright, everyone on the other side has fallen for it!”

Wu Ke couldn’t help but ask again, “Really? Don’t harm us!”

“If you don’t believe me, you don’t have to leave!” Li Xiaoran said as she stood up.

Zi Cheng followed Li Xiaoran closely, so that if anything dangerous happened, he could deal with it.

Li Xiaoran and Zi Cheng walked for a few steps but didn’t shoot any arrows.

At this moment, a wave of shouts came from outside the forest.

“Zi Cheng, someone is here to save us! It’s Ruyue. Ruyue brought people to save us!” Li Xiaoran said with a smile.

As expected, before Li Xiaoran and the others could enter the forest, they saw a group of people rushing out of the forest.

The person in the lead was none other than Shu Ruyue, whom they hadn’t seen for a few days!

“Ruyue, why are you here?” Li Xiaoran asked Shu Ruyue with a smile.

Shu Ruyue walked over and sized up Li Xiaoran. After confirming that she wasn’t in danger, she said with a smile, “Wu Qinghe divined that you were in trouble and asked me to bring my clansmen to save you! However, it seems that we were too late. When we came in just now, we saw those people on the ground, as if they had eaten Soft Tendon Powder!”

“I did use Soft Tendon Powder, but it’s an enhanced version that has been modified by my husband!” Li Xiaoran said with a smile, “By the way, where’s Wu Qinghe?”

“We went to save Mr. Luo! Something happened to Mr. Luo too. The entrance to the imperial mausoleum was sealed by King Fu’s men. Mr. Luo is trapped in the imperial mausoleum,” Shu Ruyue said.

“What? How is my husband now?” When Li Xiaoran heard this, her eyes immediately turned red.

“Xiaoran, don’t worry. Don’t forget that Mr. Luo has the brocade bag given by Wu Qinghe! As long as Mr. Luo opens the brocade bag, he can find a way out. Wu Qinghe has already brought the Wu family to pick up Mr. Luo! It should be about time!” Shu Ruyue quickly told her what she knew.

Li Xiaoran finally remembered that Luo Cheng had two brocade bags! “What about my brocade bag? Do I need to open it now?”

“It’s not an emergency yet, so you should keep it for now!” Shu Ruyue said.

Li Xiaoran nodded, but then she thought of something and asked, “Are you sure the people outside have been dealt with?”

“Yes, it’s all settled! We can’t stay here for long. Let’s leave quickly!” Shu Ruyue said.

“Bring them all along! I still have something to tell them! Do you know any safe places nearby? These people are very important. They’re all capable subordinates of the Eldest Princess. I have to help my husband rope them in!” As Li Xiaoran spoke, she looked at the generals who were walking over.

“They’re poisoned and can’t circulate their internal energy!”

After Shu Ruyue nodded and told her clansmen, they accepted General Guo and the others and left with them.

Two hours later, everyone arrived at a farmstead hidden in the valley.

After escaping danger, Li Xiaoran asked Zi Cheng to take the pulses of the generals and took out some antidotes.

“This is an antidote pill that can detoxify hundreds of poisons.

Everyone swallowed the antidote pills in front of Zi Cheng. Then, Zi Cheng checked their mouths and was relieved after confirming that they didn’t hide anything.

“Why do you want us to swallow it in front of you?” General Guo asked in confusion.

“Because the antidote pill is very important. If any of you have ill intentions and bring the antidote pill out, it might be deciphered by others! Why should we let you spread the antidote pill we worked so hard to make?!” Zi Cheng said righteously.

These words rendered the group speechless. After all, they were already lucky to get antidote pills. In order not to let the antidote pill spread, it was normal for him to check if the pill had been swallowed!

Zi Cheng said to this group of people, “Alright, you guys can try now and see if your internal energy has recovered!”

When General Guo and the others heard Zi Cheng’s words, they immediately mobilized their internal energy to try it.

Their internal energy was mobilized once again. The blockage from before completely disappeared.

“This is great. Our internal energy has already recovered!” Wu Ke said happily.

The others also looked happy. Now that they had internal energy, they were no longer in a pa.s.sive position.

General Guo walked forward.

“Madam, we can’t thank you enough! If you need our help in the future, feel free to tell us!”

Li Xiaoran raised her eyebrows and told them her goal, “In that case, why don’t you guys repay the favor now?! I hope you can help the Third Prince, Ling

Heng. Even if you’re unwilling to help the Third Prince, don’t defect to King

As soon as she said this, everyone, including General Guo, fell silent.

“What? You guys are unwilling?” Li Xiaoran asked.

“Madam, it’s not that we’re unwilling. We also know that King Fu isn’t a good emperor. It’s just that you said before that our families are in the capital. If we support the Third Prince or if King Fu discovers our intentions, will our families be able to survive?” General Guo said.

“At this moment, neither King Fu nor the prince knows that you guys are still alive. Why don’t you guys take advantage of this time to go back and settle your families down? Think about it, King Fu has already attacked you guys. If he finds out that you guys are still alive, will your families be able to escape unscathed?” Li Xiaoran reminded..
