Chapter 166 - Protection of mother and daughter
Qin Luofei found Lintaif and asked about his condition. Qin Luofei had always thought that Leng Mu was a follower of the Lintaif, but when she arrived at the main hall, she found them sitting together, drinking tea.
"Madam Qin, why have you come?"
Lin He looked at Qin Luofei with a face full of kindness.
"Her peaceful condition has not improved at all. I wonder when she'll wake up?" Qin Luofei looked worried.
"Madam, don't worry. If there are no surprises, you won't wake up for another two days. There's no need to worry." Lin He comforted her.
Leng Mu, who was sitting at the side, nodded his head. For the past few days, Leng Mu had taken the initiative to protect the mother and daughter pair.
"But I can see that An Ran's face is still dark and gloomy. She seems to be in a very bad mood." Qin Luofei said.
"Is that so? Madam Qin, bring me to take a look. "
On the other hand, Lin He did his duty and personally went to their rooms to treat An Ran.
Qin Luofei returned to her room, and the moment she opened the door, she discovered that there was no one on the bed.
"What about peace? "Calm down." Qin Luofei's eyes reddened. She had not gone out for long, but the child was already gone.
Leng Mu who was following behind them immediately looked around, he never thought that these people would actually make a move against his children in the day, they sure have guts.
"Madam Qin, the child might have been taken away not long ago. Wait here for me to look around." Leng Mu's face darkened, he blamed himself in his heart, he couldn't even protect her and the child.
Qin Luofei didn't know what to do. If she found out who took the child away, she definitely wouldn't let him off lightly. He had neglected to be extremely careful.
"Madam Qin, have you offended someone?" Lin He asked curiously.
Qin Luofei told Lintaif the truth. She originally thought that after Lintaif found out, he would chase her away, but he didn't expect that it was the opposite.
"Since the palace is so deep in water, the Concubine Qin should be careful. My husband will not be able to help, let's see if Leng Mu can help you find your child. " Lin He sighed.
Until late into the night, when Leng Mu returned from outside. Princess Tranquil's whereabouts were unknown, causing her to sob uncontrollably. These people should be after him, but he didn't expect them to threaten him with peace.
Leng Mu looked at Qin Luofei's soulless expression and felt an indescribable pain, but he was helpless as he could not find her child. That night, Qin Luofei tossed and turned, protected by a pair of eyes outside her room.
Suddenly, she heard a noise in the room. Someone was on the roof. Qin Luofei immediately stood up and saw a slip of paper on the table.
"If you want your child back, then come to Rising Sun Cliff alone."
In her previous life, she had already lost her flesh and blood, and in this life, she must ensure the safety of Princess Tranquil. Qin Luofei knew that Leng Mu was outside guarding, so she opened the window and quietly left from the back of the house.
Rising Sun Cliff was a cliff of the Ling Ri Mountain outside the capital, and they heard that the cliff was tall and steep. They invited him to the Rising Sun Cliff probably because they wanted her dead. Knowing the intentions of the kidnapper, she could only make this choice for the sake of her child.
Qin Luofei held the lamp and walked towards the Rising Sun Cliff. The mountain was so cold that she couldn't help but shiver. The wind hissed against the leaves. From time to time, she would stroke the dagger at her waist. She was ready to die with them.
The wind occasionally blew past, and one could faintly hear the cries of children. Qin Luofei quickened her steps as she walked in the direction of the crying child. When she saw the scene in front of her, her legs went soft. She was only a child, so why was she so cruel to her?
"Rest in peace, all of you, quickly let go of my peace."
The black clothed man hung Princess Tranquil on a tree. This tree just happened to grow on the edge of the cliff, so as long as they cut the rope, An Xin would definitely fall into the abyss and die a horrible death.
"You can let her go unless you jump into the cliff yourself." One of the men in black said.
"I jumped off the cliff, are you guys still not going to let her go?" Qin Luofei was not an idiot.
"Just tell the man behind you to take him away." The man in black said.
Qin Luofei turned around, and she saw a man dressed in black standing behind her.
"Who are you?" The moon was so pale that Qin Luofei couldn't see the face of the man who had always been following behind her.
"I'm here to help you." The man said in a low voice.
"After I die, please help me deliver the child to the palace and hand it over to the Consort Shu." Qin Luofei clenched her teeth, she was already prepared to sacrifice herself for her child.
The man's eyes were gloomy as he looked at her unwillingly. How could he let her die like this?
"I agree to your request. However, you must promise me that after I jump down, you must release my child." Qin Luofei did not hesitate as she walked to the edge of the cliff.
"I promise you, as long as you jump down, I will keep my promise." The man in black smiled sinisterly.
Right now, this was the only way to ensure the safety of the Princess Tranquil. She slowly moved forward. She had not yet avenged her great vengeance, but now she had lost her life here. She was unwilling, but there was nothing she could do about it. She looked at the Princess Tranquil hanging on the tree. In the future, she would have to walk her own path. In her previous life, what she felt the most sorry for was her own flesh and blood.
"Don't jump." The man beside her shouted.
"If you continue to hesitate, don't blame my blade for being heartless." The black clothed man held a sharp blade in his hand that was already placed on the rope hanging from the Princess Tranquil.
"I'll jump, don't hurt her." Qin Luofei's eyes were filled with tears as she turned around to look at the man in black behind her.
"Thank you. Although I don't know who you are, please ensure my safety."
Qin Luofei closed her eyes, her entire body leaning towards the edge of the cliff. The man in black behind her quickly stepped forward and grabbed her wrist.
"No! Even if you jump down, do you really think they will let your child go?" The man firmly held onto Qin Luofei.
Sure enough, at this time, the blade in the black clothed man's hand cut down, causing the Princess Tranquil to fall off the cliff. The men in black attacked them immediately.
"No." Qin Luofei watched with her own eyes as her own flesh and blood fell off the cliff, yet she was powerless to do anything. In his previous life, he didn't have the ability to protect a good child. She blamed herself and hated this person who had plotted against her even more. She had to survive. She had to survive and go back to investigate the real culprit behind this matter. If it was that woman again, she would definitely tear her to shreds.
The crying sounds of the children finally disappeared at the bottom of Rising Sun Cliff.
"Save me!" Qin Luofei pleaded with a tearful face, pulling at her man.
"Don't worry, I will definitely save you."
Several black clothed men behind him attacked him. The man pulled with force, and pulled Qin Luofei who was in his way. She was no longer crying like she had been in her previous life. The pain of losing a child would definitely be repaid in double the amount of time.
She pulled out her dagger and stabbed madly at the man in black. She hated and hated these people. Under the protection of the man in black, Qin Luofei was safe. The few men in black quickly left after losing.
"I'm going to find my peace." Qin Luofei ignored the man and immediately went down the cliff to search for the Princess Tranquil.
"Don't go, Rising Sun Cliff is full of wolves, tigers, and beasts, it's very dangerous to go by yourself." The black clothed man pulled Qin Luofei back.
"Then wouldn't my peace be..."
If he were to fall from such a high cliff, the chances of him surviving would be very small. In addition, there were many beasts in the forest below, so it would be even worse if he were to be thrown into the Ten Thousand Beasts Pit in his previous life. Qin Luofei was in so much grief that she fainted.
When she woke up again, she was in bed.
"What about peace?" Qin Luofei opened her eyes and saw Leng Mu and Lintaif in the room. Both of their expressions were dark, and Leng Mu was blaming himself even more in his heart.
"Today, I heard that the hunters said that the Rising Sun Cliff had found a baby and brought it over." Leng Mu brought the baby over for Qin Luofei to confirm.
Qin Luofei sobbed silently while hugging the baby.
"Madam Qin, my condolences."
"Who sent me back here? "Where's the black clothed man?" Qin Luofei did not know who the man who saved her was.
"We found you at the door." Leng Mu said.
Qin Luofei frowned, it was imperative that they return to the palace.
"Miss, why don't you have a drink?" Daffodil Daydream felt her heart ache as she looked at Qin Luofei, who was getting skinnier and skinnier by the day.
Even though the Emperor Ming knew that the Princess Tranquil had fallen and died, he did not feel the slightest bit of grief at all. He ignored her even more and announced that the Princess Tranquil had passed away. After all, the Royal Princess had been framed and had died. If they couldn't find the murderer, that would affect the dignity of the Imperial Family.
"I'm not hungry." Qin Luofei did not eat nor drink, and it was impossible for her to do so due to her anxiousness.
"Miss, how can your body handle this if you don't eat or drink?"
Qin Luofei's face was withered, and her voice was weak. "Your Majesty, why didn't you refuse to see me? That's also his flesh and blood, could it be that he really doesn't feel the slightest bit of heartache? "
"This is a rule of the palace. Miss has just lost her daughter, so we can't meet with the emperor immediately. I'm afraid we might offend him." Xi Ling held the jade bowl in her hand and spoke with authority.
"Rules of the palace? Calm is not cold, Emperor Ming is actually in the mood to enjoy life with Imperial Consort Leng? " This man in her previous life had chilled her heart.
The Miss Duskgold was sad to the point where she said: "Young miss, just wait a few more days. We will come to the emperor to meet young miss."
"Three days?" Qin Luofei sneered.
Then she would just wait three days and see Emperor Ming again.
She definitely could not let this go so easily. She had to find the mastermind behind this and take revenge for Serenity.
Three days had already passed. Qin Luofei was dressed in beautiful white robes, with blue gauze covering her body. A light breeze blew, causing her entire person to exude a faint aura of spirit energy. Her hair was tied into a simple bun, and she put on a clear and elegant plum blossom hairpin. Due to the excessive longing for peace, her face was pale without a trace of blood.
"Miss, where are we going?" Daisies followed her.
"Cool Hall." Qin Luofei gritted her teeth as she spoke.
When they arrived outside the Cool Hall, Qin Luofei was actually stopped by a guard.
"Halt."
"Impudent, I want to see His Majesty." Qin Luofei's expression instantly changed, completely unlike the sickly and sickly Concubine Qin inside the Huishang Hall.
"The emperor has decreed that we can't casually enter and disturb his peace." The guard's face was overbearing, not putting the little concubine in his eyes at all.
