    106: Masked Prince Consort & Straw Princess (10)

    The palace is built on the mountain. Above the magnificent palace are the endless mountains. There are springs pouring down from the top of the mountain, adding a touch of color to the lush mountains and forests.

    Su Yan and his entourage arrived at the palace a few days ago. Lu Ze, as the commander of the Imperial Guard, was naturally accompanying him. Su Yan naturally expressed condolences to him in private. Of course, she was mainly curious about how injured he was that day and wanted to see some traces on his face.

    Su Yan walked on the path leading to the top of the mountain, picked a wild anus, held it in her hand and pulled it, while several guards followed at a distance.

    She has been a little depressed recently. Since returning from the palace that day, Gu Chengling seems to have undergone some changes. In short, he has become more fake.He still takes care of her as carefully as before and smiles at her tenderly, but his smile is often only on the surface. She would rather he be like before. Although it is uncertain, at least she can get a glimpse of his true temperament.

    Perhaps due to fate, when she pulled off the last petal, Gu Chengling’s figure appeared in front of her. His slim-fitting lake blue gown made his temperament clear. He stood in front of the cliff with his back to Su Yan, not knowing what he was thinking.Hearing the footsteps of Su Yan and his group, he turned his head lightly. The moment he saw Su Yan, the corner of his mouth curled up and he said warmly: “Princess.”

    Su Yan couldn’t help but curled her lips, and did it again, pretending to be flawless. Just when she was feeling irritated, the guard behind her suddenly warned: “Princess, be careful, there is an ambush!” Several people quickly formed a circle to protect Su Yan in the innermost. One of them took out a flare and successfully lit it into the air.

    Seeing that Gu Chengling was still on the edge of the cliff, Su Yan couldn’t help shouting: “Gu Chengling, if you don’t come over, there’s an ambush!”

    As soon as she finished speaking, a group of masked men in black rushed out of the forest and headed straight for Su Yan. The guards fought hard and protected Su Yan in the innermost layer. A series of sword shadows flashed before her eyes, and the harsh sound of blades clashing was heard in her ears. Warm liquid sprayed on her face, body, and hands. She suddenly became afraid. It was the first time she was so close to death, and she couldn’t figure out who wanted to kill her.

    Suddenly, her thoughts froze. She was protected by guards, but where was Gu Chengling?She hurriedly turned her gaze to where Gu Chengling was standing, only to find that he was no longer there, but standing not far from her, together with the group of men in black… She was confused. Was it Gu Chengling, wanting to kill her?

    Gu Chengling wanted to rush over when the man in black appeared, but was stopped by Ying. He couldn’t help but said angrily: “Didn’t I tell you not to touch her? Who told you to make your own decisions? Why don’t you go back!”

    Ying lowered his head and said: “My lord, this is the order of the eldest princess. Princess Chang Le is also our enemy, and she is also suspicious of you. The eldest princess is doing this for your own good.” He also agreed with the eldest princess’s decision in his heart. After all, the Lord has paid too much attention to Princess Chang Le recently. The Lord is a person who does great things, how can he be influenced by the affection of his children? Besides, it is still for Princess Chang Le?

    “I tell you to retreat immediately and don’t touch her!” As soon as Gu Chengling took a step, Ying shouted from behind him: “My lord, think about the queen, don’t you want to avenge her? This time, you risked exposure to assassinate Princess Chang Le. Are you disregarding the lives of your brothers by letting them retreat now?”

    Gu Chengling’s fists clenched at his sides tightened. After a painful struggle, he took a deep look at Su Yan, who was surrounded by the crowd, and gritted his teeth and said, “I know, you guys, leave her intact.” The eyes of the man who had always been strong and reserved gradually turned red.

    Ying felt relieved and said respectfully: “Sir, let’s go over there.”

    Su Yan stared at Gu Chengling closely, trying to find an answer from him. She finally met his eyes, but he turned away, as if he didn’t dare to look at her.Su Yan suddenly understood that it was really him.

    There were fewer and fewer guards around her, and Su Yan’s group was forced closer and closer to the cliff. When the last guard fell, Su Yan was filled with despair and couldn’t help but glance at Gu Chengling, only to find that he had turned around and looked like he was about to leave.

    Su Yan stepped back step by step, and finally reached the edge of the cliff. She accidentally slipped and couldn’t help but let out a cry of surprise. The man in black in front of her had raised the blade in his hand. Su Yan was so frightened that she leaned back and half of her body was already out of the cliff.

    In this very short period of time, a lake-blue figure flashed past. The man holding the knife had been kicked to the ground by him. He quickly rushed to the edge of the cliff and pulled Su Yan back into his arms who was about to fall off the cliff.His heart was beating very fast, but he still couldn’t bear to watch her die in front of his eyes. Whether she was suspicious of him or the daughter of his enemy, he probably would never let her go in the future.

    The man in black holding a knife looked hesitant on his face. The Lord wanted to save the person they wanted to kill. Should he kill him or not?Ying made a decisive decision and called them to retreat together.

    Su Yan was so frightened by the danger that her legs and feet were numb. At that moment, she desperately hoped that Gu Chengling would come to save her. She also knew that it was impossible. After all, he was the one who wanted to kill her. But the next moment she saw his figure, she felt not without surprise, but more resentment.

    She was in his arms, held tightly by him. Su Yan couldn’t help but push him hard. After pushing him away, she couldn’t stand still, so he hugged her back again.

    “Let me go! Who cares about your rescue? Aren’t you going to kill me? Come now and push me down from here. You despicable villain, hypocrite, I hate you! Even if you save me in the end, I won’t thank you… Ugh!” Su Yan was questioning him with tears on her face. Before he could finish his words, he pressed her head against his chest, her lips were pressed tightly against his chest, and she couldn’t say anything.

    Every question from Su Yan was like a thorn piercing into his heart, it was very painful.He tightened his arms and said hoarsely: “I’m sorry…” No one saw it, and the big tears fell to the ground and were quickly evaporated.

    The noisy sound came from far away, and with a shout of “The princess is there”, the crowd quickly gathered around.

    Gu Chengling’s hand relaxed, and Su Yan took the opportunity to break away from him and said coldly: “Gu Chengling, I will not report you, but equally, I will not forgive you.”

    After saying that, she met Lu Ze and his group, but after walking a few steps, her legs became weak. Lu Ze immediately stepped forward to support her. She leaned on Lu Ze’s arm and said weakly: “Brother Ze, I’m so scared.” Maybe it was the influence of the original owner, or maybe she was hurt by Gu Chengling, but now she feels that Lu Ze is so kind.

    Lu Ze looked at Su Yan’s bloody face. Although he was usually tired of her entanglement, he felt pity in his heart at this moment. Unexpectedly, she closed her eyes and fainted the next moment. He just happened to catch her and hold her in his arms.

    Gu Chengling rushed over immediately, took Su Yan from Lu Ze’s hand, carefully wiped the blood on her face with his sleeves, and whispered: “I’ll do it.”
