Chapter 434 Come back to me!
"No, young lady!"
Wanqiu's eyes were bloodshot.
Wu Weiwei was caught off guard and was slashed down by Gao Li, her arm splattering with blood.
After being pushed away, the two fell to the ground and only saw Wu Weiwei holding a knife in her left hand. In an instant, her cries echoed throughout the world.
"Bitch, hand over the antidote now, or don't blame me for doing you right here!"
After grabbing Wu Weiwei, Gao Li, ignoring her bleeding arm, roughly dragged her to the bushes nearby.
"You bitch, weren't you so arrogant just now?"
Come on, kneel down and beg for my life, maybe I'll spare your life after I'm done..."
Gao Li grabbed Wu Weiwei's hair with one hand and used the other to forcefully unbutton her clothes.
"Bah, forget it!"
Even in this dire situation, he has no chance of begging for mercy.
"Hahaha, then don't blame me for being ungentlemanly!"
Wu Weiwei closed her eyes in despair.
Just as Gao Li was about to tear off Wu Weiwei's blouse, a whooshing sound came from the air.
"what!"
Wu Weiwei opened her eyes and saw Gao Li, who was about to rape her, being shot through the throat and falling straight to the ground.
This……
She looked up and saw a red-gold steed galloping towards her from not far away.
But the person sitting right next to her was someone she had never expected.
"Miss, it's the Prince!"
Lingfu's eyes lit up.
They are saved.
Unexpectedly, it was the prince who came to rescue the girl.
Lu Hanting nimbly dismounted from his horse and stepped forward to greet her, asking with concern, "Wei'er, are you alright?"
"I'm fine!"
"Since you're alright, then come with me!"
Lu Hanting stepped forward and tried to take her hand.
"No need, I have somewhere else to go..."
Wu Weiwei pushed his hand away, her words revealing a sense of distance.
“Wei’er, things are not the same as before.”
Can't you see that the emperor wants to use you to control me?
Besides, the world is so big, where do you think you can go?
“Where to?
"The world is vast, there's always a place for me, Wu Weiwei!"
She was really unlucky; she was actually made Lu Hanting's possession by the emperor.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have needed to flee the capital.
"Wei'er, stop being stubborn, come back to me!"
Now, only I can protect you!
"Heh, really? But I don't think so!"
"You don't think so?"
Lu Hanting stepped forward and wrapped his arms tightly around her.
He stared intently at her.
"You don't want my protection, are you implying that Qingzhu will come to protect you?"
But where are they? Where are they when you need them most, in that crucial moment?
"He... he was naturally on official business..."
Wu Weiwei, who was tightly bound to the side of the carriage, was so forced by him that she didn't dare to breathe.
"Heh, getting down to business?"
Lu Hanting lifted a strand of hair from her forehead, leaned closer, and took a deep breath.
"You sure know how to make excuses for him!"
Who knows, he's probably flirting with some woman right now...
"Lu Hanting, don't assume everyone is like you, always wanting more than what you have!"
“Wu Weiwei, you…”
Lu Hanting's eyes seemed to be burning with anger. How could she think of him like that?
"Is not it?"
Wu Weiwei looked up, her bright eyes gazing straight into his heart.
"of course not.
What you think is me staring at the pot is just my own obsession with Yan'er.
I, Lu Hanting, have never done anything to wrong you. In fact, I have never had any intimate contact with her from beginning to end…
Lu Hanting, his face flushed, explained to Wu Weiwei.
Looking into Wu Weiwei's eyes, he felt that if he didn't explain, Weiwei might really never turn back.
"Hahaha……"
In that instant, Wu Weiwei felt that the man in front of her was ridiculous.
"What are you laughing at? Are you feeling smug?"
Faced with his clumsy and abnormal behavior, Lu Hanting's face turned ashen.
If he hadn't truly been unable to let go of Wu Weiwei, he would never have explained himself to her in front of so many people.
However, in Wu Weiwei's eyes, it was too late!
“Lu Hanting, I am very grateful that you came back to save me today, but gratitude cannot be used as a bargaining chip for me to repay you with my body.”
So, I'm sorry, the only male concubine I approve of is Qingzhu, not you!
A good horse doesn't eat the grass it has already grazed!
Even if his body was not corrupted, his heart had strayed!
She, Wu Weiwei, would never accept a man who had ever been unfaithful to her!
"Wu Weiwei, you!"
Lu Hanting never expected that even after he had humbled himself so much to win Wu Weiwei back, she would still refuse him.
In a moment of desperation, he grabbed Wu Weiwei's arms tightly.
"Let go!"
If it weren't for the pain in her arm from his grip, Wu Weiwei would have tolerated it.
But her already injured arm was now getting worse, and she had to struggle to get up.
"You're injured? Who did this?"
It was only at this moment that Lu Hanting seemed to notice the wound on her arm.
"Your Highness, please stop pinching our young lady's hand."
"That man just slashed at our young lady with a knife. If you hadn't killed him with an arrow, I would have stabbed him a few times to vent my anger!"
Wanqiu stepped forward and shielded Wu Weiwei behind her.
Seeing Wanqiu's protective attitude, Lu Hanting didn't argue with her anymore.
He looked at Ru Feng.
"Bring the first-aid kit over here!"
"No need, I'll have Wanqiu bandage it!"
"Does she understand better, or does someone as battle-hardened as me understand better?"
Lu Hanting's brows furrowed with frustration. Did they really think he was an outsider? Why didn't they say he was injured earlier?
If this had happened before, she probably would have already whine and complained to me about her pain.
……
"Where are you going next?"
Seeing that the topic had returned to the same place, and fearing that Lu Hanting would continue to pester her, she thought of the question he had just asked Lingfu about the Eldest Princess.
Wu Weiwei simply said, "I'm going to Northern Xinjiang."
After confirming her destination, Lu Hanting breathed a sigh of relief.
As expected, she eventually had to seek refuge with the eldest princess.
Given his current condition, he may not be able to guarantee her safety.
It would be better to let the eldest princess protect her, and when his own power is fully established, he will marry her with state honors.
"Alright, I'll give you a verse!"
Seeing that Lu Hanting was no longer pressing her, Wu Weiwei finally felt relieved.
Liu Mansion.
Since Liu Shuning presented the secret letter to the Emperor that day, she has been obediently staying in the courtyard for the past few days.
She was content, but her father, Liu Taifu, nearly lost half his life because of it.
The emperor summoned him to the palace that very day and imprisoned him for two days and two nights.
In the end, the emperor gave him two choices.
First, remove him from the position of Grand Tutor, so that he may be allowed to die a complete death.
Secondly, they could be used by him to deal with Lu Hanting.
In the end, Grand Tutor Liu chose to submit to the emperor and handed over the network of connections he had cultivated over the past ten years.
When she saw her husband return with a head full of white hair, Mrs. Lu burst into tears.
"Master, you're finally back! I thought you..."
If it weren't for her daughter's repeated assurances, Madam Lu would have believed that her husband had been secretly executed by the emperor in the palace!
Seeing his wife's haggard face, Liu Taifu could no longer bear it.
"Madam, I... I am an unfaithful man..."
"You are not disloyal, you can only be loyal to the emperor!"
Just as Grand Tutor Liu was weeping bitterly, Liu Shuning walked in from outside.
