"Break the door!" Jing Hao said to the people behind him as he looked at the tightly shut door.

" Bang…" A few guards slammed into the door together, and the door instantly fell to the ground.

Jing Hao walked into the room and saw the petite figure on the bed. He walked over and picked her up. She was very thin and light, as if all that was left of her was bones.

He looked at her clean cheeks, which were still stained with tears, and her eyes were red and swollen. Jing Hao was stunned. She…cried? Was it because he didn't want her to leave the palace? This woman, what was there to cry about!

" Yuyan..." Su Qingyu squeezed into Jing Hao's embrace and mumbled.

Hearing her sleep-talking, Jing Hao was a little puzzled. He had never heard of Yuyan before. Did Su Qingyu know her?

Jing Hao's eyelids were twitching as he accompanied her until dawn. He really wanted to sleep, but when he thought about how he would be taking her out of the palace later, he held back.

Su Qingyu woke up from her dream and looked at Jing Hao, who was beside her. She was a little surprised. What was he doing here again?

"Damned woman, get up quickly. Didn't you say you were leaving the palace?”Seeing that she had regained consciousness, Jing Hao couldn't help but shout again.

Hearing this, Su Qingyu blinked. Jing Hao saw the excitement in her eyes and urged impatiently,""Hurry up!"

"Um…can you go out first?”

Seeing her embarrassed look, Jing Hao couldn't help but laugh."I've seen you from head to toe!”

"Get out!" Su Qingyu was a little annoyed. She didn't want to mention what happened that night again.

Looking at her ashen face, Jing Hao pursed his lips and turned to leave.

The two of them changed into casual clothes and left the city gate. The cries and laughter of the common people on the street constantly rushed into their eardrums.

This was Jing Hao's second time leaving the Palace. The last time he had left the Palace, it was also because of his mother's…funeral!

"Jing Hao." Su Qingyu pulled his hand and asked him to look over.

There was a stall there, selling some hairpins and headdress for women.

Jing Hao knew that she wanted to, so he pretended not to understand her and continued walking forward.

How boring. Su Qingyu cursed in her heart. She pouted and followed his footsteps.

"Are you hungry?" There was a restaurant in front of them. It was already close to noon, so she should be hungry.

Nodding, Su Qingyu's eyes lit up.

After bringing her into the restaurant, Jing Hao called the waiter to order. After ordering the dishes, Jing Hao told her to stay here. He would be back soon.

Jing Hao left the restaurant and went to the place where the hairpin was sold.,He bought a butterfly hairpin with a purple gem. She had been looking at this hairpin for a long time. She should like it very much!

Just as Jing Hao was about to step into the restaurant, he suddenly realized that someone was following him…He was certain that it was not his secret guard!

Jing Hao quickly walked upstairs and pulled Su Qingyu away. This place was very dangerous!

"Hey, the harvest is already here. At least eat a little before you leave!”Not understanding why Jing Hao was in such a hurry to leave, Su Qingyu looked at the table full of delicious food and drooled.

Hearing her words, Jing Hao was speechless.""Stupid woman, if you don't want to die, leave quickly!”After saying that, Jing Hao pulled Su Qingyu towards the back door. When they exited the back door, the scenery outside was very desolate and there was no sign of human habitation.

"Someone's after you?" Su Qingyu asked again. She could feel his palms sweating.

"Don't talk so much nonsense!" Jing Hao roared again. Suddenly, there was the sound of messy footsteps behind him. There was more than one person.

Jing Haolai was not in a hurry to think about it and quickly used his qinggong to bring Su Qingyu to the tree.

"If you want to live, stay up there!”Jing Hao threatened," I'll come after I'm done."”

Without waiting for Su Qingyu's reply, Jing Hao used his qinggong to fly down again. Su Qingyu naturally heard the messy footsteps just now. There were many people coming, and she was a little worried that Jing Hao would not be able to deal with them.

Jing Hao walked up to them. There were a total of seven burly men. It could be seen that they were all trained.

The seven burly men in front of him had no expression on their faces. Their cold eyes were filled with killing intent...

The man in the lead brandished his sword, and the six men behind him immediately charged at Jing Hao…

Jing Hao's eyes darkened as he began to fight. The two sides fought for a long time, but still could not determine the winner. However, it was obvious that Jing Hao was on the verge of death. It was difficult for two fists to fight against four hands. Not to mention that they had more people, everyone had weapons in their hands. Jing Hao was bare-handed!

Hiding in the tree, Su Qingyu was terrified. There were seven of them, and Jing Hao... Even if he could defeat them, he would be severely injured!

The leader's eyes turned cold as he gripped the hilt of his sword and stabbed at Jing Hao. For some reason, Su Qingyu felt that this figure was very familiar. It was as if…as if she had seen him there before, but she could not recall where he was at the moment.

Jing Hao's figure flashed and he nimbly dodged the man's sword. However, he was hit hard on the back...

Su Qingyu covered her mouth and tried her best not to scream. Tears were rolling in the frame. Looking down, it was at least ten meters tall. Jumping down from such a height, even if he didn't die, he would be crippled! At this moment, Su Qingyu wished that she knew qinggong too. That way, he wouldn't have to hide on the tree.

" Jing Hao…" Su Qingyu could no longer hold back her tears as she watched him suffer another blow.

He glanced at Su Qingyu from the corner of his eye. Looking at her tear-stained face, Jing Hao's heart tightened. He took out a smoke grenade and threw it at them. Then, he left with Su Qingyu using Qinggong.

By the time the smoke had completely dispersed, Jing Hao was long gone.

"Search carefully. He can't have run far!”The leader ordered coldly.

When they arrived at an open area, Jing Hao let go of her and retreated to the side alone. Cold sweat kept appearing on his forehead.

"Damned woman, why are you crying!" Jing Hao gritted his teeth. His arm was still bleeding.

"Jing Hao, are you alright?" Su Qingyu held back her tears and spoke with deep concern.

Raising his head, Jing Hao looked behind him."I won't die yet! Let's continue walking."

Hearing his words, Su Qingyu could only help him walk forward. Jing Hao's entire body weight was pressed against Su Qingyu's frail body, and it was rather strenuous for him to walk.

After resting for a while in a patch of weeds, Su Qingyu tore off a corner of her skirt to bandage his wound.

"Does it hurt?" Looking at the deep wound on his arm, Su Qingyu could not help but tear up again. Just now, he had used this hand to carry her and fly. It must have been very difficult for him to endure.

"Continue bandaging!" After saying that, Jing Hao pursed his lips tightly.

Seeing that the veins on his forehead were popping out from the pain, Su Qingyu also relaxed her hands and feet.

After bandaging his wound, Su Qingyu helped him tidy up his clothes and quietly waited for his instructions.

"Why aren't you saying anything?" After a long period of silence, Jing Hao asked," Are you afraid?”

Su Qingyu shook her head and still did not speak.

"That's good. Let's continue moving forward. It's still not safe here!”。Jing Hao pondered for a moment. After such a long time, they should be here soon.

After an unknown period of time, a dilapidated temple appeared in front of them. It looked like it had been abandoned for a long time.

The two of them walked in and found a relatively clean place to sit down. If they were to come again, Jing Hao would not be able to hold on any longer. Now, they could only wait for help. However, if they released the signal flare, it would attract people who were chasing after them. Was he really going to wait for death here?

"Do you know who is chasing after you?”Su Qingyu finally spoke.

Jing Hao couldn't understand why she would ask that. He shook his head subconsciously.

"It's Prince Rui!" Su Qingyu's tone was very certain. She felt that the man leading the group was very familiar. When Jing Hao lifted her up, she could clearly see the scar on his wrist…

"How did you know?"

"You can choose not to believe me!" Su Qingyu felt that he didn't trust her and frowned.

"I believe you!" Jing Hao spat out two words coolly." He already had the intention to rebel!”
