The emperor narrowed his eyes, thoughtfully, and said coldly: "Check! Find the fifth prince...and Princess Xuan as soon as possible!"

He really didn't care about Shangguan Ruoli's life and death, it was just incidental. It saved the ministers from saying that he only cared about his son and ignored his daughter-in-law who was also missing.

As for the inevitable connection between Shangguan Ruoli's disappearance and the fifth prince's disappearance, he really couldn't figure it out.

Gu Lingran fell to the ground and kowtowed: "I obey the decree!"

The emperor continued to order: "Eunuch Zheng, thoroughly investigate the suspicious persons in the palace! Jing Zhaoyin, search every house in the capital again! Admiral of the Nine Gates, send people out of the capital to search..."

As a series of orders were passed on, everyone inside and outside the capital felt a solemn atmosphere.

Shangguan Tianxiao was also in a furious mood, and his face was extremely ugly.

If there is no news about Shangguan until now, the longer time goes by, the more dangerous he will be.

I'm just afraid...

He really doesn't want to think about the worst.

He also sent people to Jing Zhaoyin several times to inquire about the official search. Bai Qingyan found no clues and only said that he was no longer in the capital.

He also sent people to search outside the city, but there were no clues.

Dongming Ziyu went crazy and took people out of the city to search for him.

In the morning light, Dongming Ziyu stood on the top of a mountain, his expression as solemn as Shura in the dark night.

He squinted his eyes and looked around, with a look of anxiety and exhaustion on his face.

Mo Wen ran over and said, "Master, we've searched all over this mountain, and there's nothing there."

"Go to the next mountain!" Dongming Ziyu didn't dare to rest for a moment.

Mo Wen pointed to the mountain road on the left: "That mountain is low and gentle. Except for a cliff left by the earthquake, it is not steep."

Mo Wen pointed to the mountain on the right and said, "That mountain is very steep and the terrain is complicated."

Dongming Ziyu frowned and thought for a while, then pointed to the mountain on the right, "Go to that one first!"

Little did he know that his choice this time was wrong. Shangguan Ruoli was in the mountain on the left, only more than twenty miles away from him.

After she jumped off the cliff, she inserted her dagger into the cliff to slow down her fall.

Then, with the help of the dagger, he carried the fifth prince on his back and climbed down the cliff in the dark.

Fortunately there was some starlight and the mountain was not that high.

The fifth prince was so frightened that he kept tensing up and clung to her back like an octopus. He didn't dare to breathe. He didn't even dare to open his eyes. The bottom was so dark and bottomless that it was really scary.

Shangguan Ruoli was lying in the valley at the bottom of the cliff, panting, almost exhausted from exhaustion. This boy kept her body stiff, so heavy that she almost broke her neck.

The fifth prince was lying not far from her, looking even more tired than him. His face was even more ugly, and his lips were turning white.

"Ugh!" The fifth prince groaned in pain.

"Hey, are you okay?" Shangguan Ruoli put his right hand on his forehead, which was very hot.

Seeing that he didn't speak, I realized that he seemed to be in a coma.

Sighing speechlessly, "What a pretty little flower in the greenhouse."

"Water, water, water..." The fifth prince murmured and asked for a drink of water.

Shangguan Ruoli looked around anxiously. There was a cliff on the left and a cliff on the right. Where to get water?

"Water, water, water..."

She wanted to drink water after hearing this, but she didn't dare to put him here to find water. If he was bitten by a snake or carried away by a wild beast, then her efforts would be in vain.

After thinking about it, I decided to carry him forward. Besides, those enemies would definitely come down to confirm whether they were dead, so I decided to leave here first.

The injury on Shangguan Ruoli's shoulder was still bleeding. Although it was a skin injury, he was being strangled by the Fifth Prince. Not only did it not stop the bleeding, it actually became more serious.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to breathe, Shangguan Ruoli tore off a piece of his underwear and patched up the wound.

Then he carried the Fifth Prince on his back again, feeling a little sore in his waist.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Before he could take a step, there were several sounds of piercing the air behind him, and someone fired arrows.

Damn it! Shangguan Ruoli spread his legs and ran wildly in a zigzag pattern.

Fortunately, although the fifth prince was a little taller than her, he was still a slender boy. Although it was a bit difficult for her to carry it for so long, she could still grit her teeth and persevere.

However, she is already exhausted now, and she will definitely slow down before long.

It may be because he sweats too much and detoxifies quickly. His internal strength has recovered by 20 to 30% and he can run faster. Otherwise, he would have to die here.

He ran all the way along the valley, dodging all the way, and finally found that there was a mountain wall in front of him.

Shangguan Ruoli was about to cry, she was going to climb the mountain with the fifth prince on her back!

Seeing that the pursuit behind him was still going on, Shangguan Ruoli gritted his teeth and started to climb up.

This place seems to be a stratigraphic boundary point. The cliff in front is as sharp as a knife, but the slope here is slightly gentle, which is just right for climbing up.

The fifth prince woke up from the jolt and discovered what was going on. "Sister-in-law, let me down and I will divert them away. You can go on your own. You will be fine."

He struggled feebly, but Shangguan Ruoli did not put him down.

"Shut up!" Shangguan Ruoli said harshly and continued climbing the mountain.

Those people pursued them relentlessly and kept firing hidden arrows, determined to kill them.

Shangguan Ruoli found a stone, hid it behind, and put the fifth prince down. She had to take a breath.

"Which shamelessly raised turtle king egg must be exterminated to death? I @￥%*&%￥..." Shangguan Ruoli calmed down his breath and spat out a series of indescribable colloquial expressions starting with f.

"Ahem, cough, cough..." The fifth prince's pale face turned red, and he coughed repeatedly in embarrassment, "Sister-in-law, from whom did you learn these... words?"

Shangguan Ruoli stared at him fiercely and threatened: "Don't tell your brother! Otherwise I will let you be shot into a hedgehog later!"

That guy didn't like her using foul language. If he knew she was embarrassed in front of her brother-in-law, he would definitely not let her off lightly.

The fifth prince couldn't laugh or cry, and nodded, "Okay, okay!"

Shangguan Ruoli rolled his eyes, "Aren't you angry that you caused this unexpected disaster for nothing?"

The fifth prince nodded, "Of course he is angry."

"When you have nowhere to vent your anger, a few curse words can relieve your anger." Shangguan Ruoli's eyes lit up when he saw dew on the leaves around him, and he hurriedly picked the dew-covered leaves.

When he turned around, he saw the fifth prince pursed his lips and had a fierce face, obviously cursing in his heart.

"Pfft!" Shangguan Ruoli laughed, handed him the leaf, raised his eyebrows and said, "Will you relieve your anger?"

It was indeed more refreshing. The fifth prince blushed even more and looked at the leaf in surprise, "What is this?"

"Water!" Shangguan Ruoli looked like you were stupid.

The fifth prince frowned and looked at a few dewdrops on the leaves, and said with disgust: "Is this also called water?"

"What is this if it's not water? As long as it can save lives!" Shangguan Ruoli rolled his eyes angrily and licked the few drops of water himself.

Ahem, yes, it was licked.

The fifth prince couldn't help but froze when he saw her lilac tongue licking up the crystal dew dexterously, and his face turned red again.

"Whoops!" An arrow hit the small tree next to him, scaring him so much that he broke into a cold sweat.
