Chapter 2393: Chapter 2393: Scoundrel
"Who is it?"
Xuexue and the Elder reacted quickly, jumping away several meters and becoming fully alert.
"Lady, it’s me." A familiar voice rang out.
Xuexue looked closely and found it was Long Rui, who had brought some guards along.
Xuexue was extremely surprised, how could they enter?
"Prince, why are you here?"
Before Long Rui could answer, Long Yi beside him said, "Ever since the Princess Consort fell into the underground palace, the Prince was terribly anxious and dispatched over a thousand soldiers outside to search for the mechanism. After much searching, in a fit of anger, he even smashed the head of the peak, discovering the entrance to the underground palace."
So it was because Long Rui was so worried about her; Xuexue was deeply moved: "The underground palace is very dangerous, Prince, you shouldn’t have come in."
Long Rui held Xuexue tightly in his arms; her safety was his greatest happiness: "Since my Lady has entered, even if it’s the Dragon’s Den and Tiger’s Lair, as your husband, I must brave it."
They embraced, recounting the events after their separation.
The Elder became impatient, saying, "Hey, hey, is that enough? Do you still want to get out?"
Xuexue composed herself: "Let’s go, let’s go."
The old man had a face full of beard, his clothes were extremely tattered, and Long Rui frowned—who exactly was this person, and why did his Lady listen to him?
Xuexue: "Prince, let’s go, the Elder will lead us out of the underground palace."
Long Rui: "Who is he?"
It was hard to determine the Elder’s identity for the moment, besides, Xuexue indeed didn’t know his identity, just knew he was imprisoned here by the former Emperor.
Xuexue: "Never mind, he knows the way, we’ll talk once we’re out."
A moment ago, Long Rui and Long Yi wandered around the underground palace repeatedly without finding the exit.
Knowing the old man could lead them out, they no longer spoke, figuring they would talk after getting out!
The group wandered through the underground palace, winding around for an unknown length of time.
Xuexue faintly felt they had walked for several Shichen Chinese Time, her feet feeling numb.
"Lady, are you tired?"
"Hmm, a bit."
"I will carry you."
"Isn’t it inappropriate!" Xuexue glanced around, apart from the Elder walking ahead, there were more than ten guards behind!
Long Rui bent halfway at the waist in front of Xuexue, saying, "What’s inappropriate? A husband should treat his Lady well."
Xuexue hesitated, and as she hesitated, everyone stopped.
Long Yi behind couldn’t help but say, "Princess Consort, let the Prince carry you. If you don’t, we probably won’t move anywhere today."
Just at this moment, the Elder who had gone far ahead turned his head impatiently and said, "What are you doing? Hurry up and catch up, or do you not want to get out?"
"Hey, hey, we’re coming." Xuexue no longer hesitated and immediately lay on Long Rui’s back.
Long Rui’s lips curled into a smile, and he said, "Lady is so obedient."
Obedient, are you kidding me, if it wasn’t for being forced by you, I wouldn’t have compromised, Xuexue felt terribly aggrieved in her heart.
Rumors spread that the War Prince was cold and ruthless, decisive in killing, never showing mercy in his actions, though extremely lustful, he never cherished maidens. Otherwise, rumors wouldn’t spread that the Prince could kill several women overnight. Listen, what a tyrant’s behavior.
But in her presence, Long Rui was just a rascal, using persistence to achieve his goals.
Long Rui, carrying her, soon caught up with the Elder.
