Chapter 106 Your Majesty, Please Don't Be Like This
A sudden heavy rain, like a shower from heaven, poured down violently with unstoppable force.
The raindrops were dense and rapid, like a galloping army, instantly wrapping the raging flames tightly.
Li Xuansheng was overjoyed with excitement.
He didn't know when, but two lines of tears appeared in his eyes.
At this moment, he suddenly realized that as an emperor, he should have been worried about all the concubines and people in the valley when the fire spread, but the only person he was thinking about was Lu Qingqing.
I, have I changed?
Thousands of emotions surged in Li Xuansheng's heart, and he felt complicated.
He understood one thing since he was a prince - if you want to stand at the top of millions of people, you must not worry.
However, his belief, which had never changed throughout his journey to the throne, was subtly influenced by a delicate little woman at some point.
He didn't know whether this was a sad or happy thing.
He just wanted to rush to the convoy quickly. He wanted to see Lu Qingqing and her child safely immediately.
The flames that were originally burning fiercely in the valley had lost their arrogance under the washing of rain, and turned from fierce to weak, and finally turned into wisps of green smoke and dissipated in the humid air.
At this time, the team led by Liu Yu'an also came down from the mountain on the other side.
The two teams met at the junction of the valley.
Liu Yu'an bowed to Li Xuansheng.
"Your Majesty, I have wiped out all the bandits on one side of the mountain, leaving only this bandit leader."
After saying that, he kicked the man in black who was tied up with hemp rope and brought him to Li Xuansheng.
Li Xuansheng looked down condescendingly.
He was in no mood to question the motives of these thieves. He just wanted to see the person he was worried about in the fire scene as soon as possible.
Li Xuansheng waved his hands and said anxiously:
"Yuan, don't worry about this for now. Follow me to find the convoy and count the casualties as soon as possible!"
"Yes!"
The two of them quickly arrived at the place where the caravan was staying in the valley, and Prince Jing, who had stayed behind in the valley, came towards them.
Prince Jing said, "My dear brother, in this dangerous situation, the ladies of each palace are taking shelter in their own carriages."
"I have checked the situation of the remaining guards. Only a few were wounded by arrows, but no one died."
Li Xuansheng let out a long sigh, his frown relaxed, and the stone that had been hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground.
He patted Prince Jing's shoulder with relief.
"well-done."
Surrounded by a group of guards, Li Xuansheng walked from the rear of the carriage team to the imperial carriage at the front.
He couldn't wait to open the car door and celebrate the joy of being saved from a desperate situation with Lu Qingqing.
However, the beauty was not there, and what greeted him was an empty place.
"What about people?"
"Where are the people!"
Lu Qingqing was no longer in the carriage. The veins on Li Xuansheng's forehead bulged and he roared at the guards around him.
However, the guards standing by looked at each other in confusion, and no one knew where Lu Qingqing was.
Li Xuansheng's eyes turned red with anxiety. He turned around and walked up to Prince Jing, grabbed Prince Jing's collar, pointed at the empty imperial carriage and questioned him loudly.
"Prince Jing!"
"Didn't you say that my concubines are all safe and sound?"
"I ask you, where is Noble Ming now?"
Prince Jing was also dumbfounded at this time.
He trotted to the royal carriage and leaned his head to look around.
Weird? Why is there no one here?
Logically speaking, Concubine Ming should have stayed in the carriage the whole time!
There were lightsabers and raging fires outside. Where could a little girl like her run to?
Prince Jing's impression of Lu Qingqing still remained at the time when they first met in Mingjing Hall, when Lu Qingqing lied to him and said that she was a little palace maid whose father had just died.
Therefore, in Prince Jing's heart, he always thought that Lu Qingqing was a little rascal who only knew how to flirt and seduce his royal brother.
He was confused and murmured to himself.
"This kind of woman is the most afraid of death. If she doesn't stay in the carriage, where else can she go?"
Li Xuansheng looked at Prince Jing standing in front of the carriage with a dazed look on his face and thinking with his head down. The joy he had just felt in defeating the thieves was instantly wiped out.
He just wanted to know Lu Qingqing's whereabouts as soon as possible, so he mobilized all the guards to search around.
"All officers and men obey orders!"
"Even if you have to turn this place upside down, you must find Concubine Ming for me!"
"Yes!" the soldiers answered in unison.
Just then, He Qing stumbled out from the bushes in the distance.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
"This old servant pays respect to His Majesty!"
Li Xuansheng frowned, feeling confused.
Only then did he come to his senses. It turned out that not only Lu Qingqing was missing from the convoy, but even He Qing was not there.
Why is He Qing running around at this time?
He Qing ran so fast that he accidentally fell in front of Li Xuansheng. He covered his knees and kept saying "ouch".
"Your Majesty, there is no need to search."
"Slave, slave knows the whereabouts of Ming nobleman."
Hearing this, Li Xuansheng quickly made a stop gesture to all the soldiers, and his eyes darkened.
"Tell me, where is the noble Ming?"
He Qing raised his arm tremblingly and pointed at the bushes behind him.
Li Xuansheng understood instantly, and he walked towards the bushes with big strides.
When I got closer, I saw Lu Qingqing sitting on the ground.
The originally fair and delicate little face was now stained gray by the thick smoke, and the delicate hair was made messy by the bushes.
Her small hands kept rubbing her calves, and a faint trace of blood could be seen under her dress.
When Lu Qingqing saw Li Xuansheng coming, she was filled with surprise and said happily:
"Your Majesty, you are here!"
When she wanted to continue asking Li Xuansheng about the thief's situation, the man squatted down and hugged her in his arms.
Their necks were pressed together, very close.
Lu Qingqing could even feel the pounding heartbeat of the man in her arms.
Li Xuansheng's big hands clamped her back tightly, and his voice trembled.
"Great!"
"Qingqing, I'm glad you're okay. I'm glad you're okay."
The moment he discovered that Lu Qingqing was missing, Li Xuansheng thought he would never see her again in his life.
Although the feeling of regaining what he had lost made his heart surge, he never wanted to experience this kind of excitement again in his life.
Lu Qingqing was confused at this moment, she didn't know what had just happened.
She looked up and around, and found that the palace maids and guards had surrounded them. She felt a little shy seeing them being so affectionate in broad daylight in front of so many people.
Lu Qingqing pushed Li Xuansheng who was hugging her tightly, punched his back with her fists, and said in a tender voice:
"Your Majesty, there are so many people watching, please don't do this."
However, the more she pushed, the tighter Li Xuansheng held her. He leaned close to Lu Qingqing's ear, and his stern tone carried a hint of punishment.
"From now on, you are not allowed to run around without my permission. Got it?"
