"Have you seen the maidservant beside me?"

"Miss Lu Er, I seemed to hear Miss Qingyin's voice when I fainted," Sun Jiu said quickly, "She went to the adults."

Therefore, Qingyin should have gone with Lin Rong and the others to chase the savage.

Of course, it is hard to say whether they are savages or not. Lu Zhaoling actually doesn’t believe that there are savages here.

"Have you found any clues about Miss Qiu before?"

Sun Jiu immediately said, "We found a jade bead here, strung with a small silver ring. The adults speculated that it fell from a girl's earring, but we don't know if it is Miss Qiu's ornament."

"Prince Jin, my Lord, is that you?"

There was a trembling voice coming from behind, but also a bit of strength that was trying to hold on. Just hearing this kind of voice could easily make a man want to protect her.

But when the King of Jin heard this voice, his brows furrowed as if he was about to pinch a fly to death.

The fog has risen, and a weak woman comes in to make trouble?

"Who let you in? Go back!" He shouted loudly with such a terrifying momentum that even Qingbao was startled because he was caught off guard.

I've heard before that the prince would just look on indifferently and keep silent, but I've never heard of one so fierce. I'm scared.

Shen Xiangjun, who had groped her way into the fog, was also startled. She was really scared. She slipped and twisted her ankle. She almost fell down. She was in so much pain and fear that she almost cried out.

"Your Highness, I, I just want to help find someone. I think my foot is sprained, and something bit me. Could it be a snake..."

Before, outside, the guards and Xianglian stopped Shen Xiangjun from coming in, but after weighing the pros and cons, she still insisted on coming in.

This is a great opportunity for her to have a breakthrough contact with King Jin!

Even if there was a slight possibility, she couldn't give up. Even if she didn't have a chance, she had to come and stop Lu Zhaoling from getting any closer to King Jin.

She had to keep an eye on Lu Zhaoling.

Moreover, with so many people coming in to look for Miss Qiu, nothing serious will happen. She came in and participated, and she will have a share of the credit for saving Miss Qiu.

When the news spread to the capital, her courage and wisdom were outstanding among the noble ladies, and her reputation naturally rose to a higher level.

After carefully crossing the almost invisible tree bridge, she mustered up the courage to feel her way in. Unexpectedly, she was frightened by King Jin as soon as she arrived.

As for the possibility of being bitten by a snake, she lied subconsciously.

So, the King of Jin would not just stand by and watch her die. He should at least come and check on her condition.

"Miss Shen, was a snake bitten?"

Xiao Zhao, who was supporting her, also had a trembling voice.

Shen Xiangjun did not bring Xianglian with her and asked her to wait outside. The three guards followed behind her, staying a few steps away from her. Otherwise, if anything happened, Prince Jin would probably directly order the three to take care of her.

The only one supporting her was Xiao Zhao.

"Prince Jin?" Shen Xiangjun called out again, but she didn't hear Prince Jin answer her!

"My lord, are you there?"

Shen Xiangjun panicked. Why was it so quiet in front?

"Prince? Second Miss Lu?" She had to start calling Lu Zhaoling.

As they are both women, Lu Zhaoling can't be so cold-blooded and ignore her, right?

In fact, Lu Zhaoling was being dragged forward by King Jin at this moment. He was not dragging her hand, but putting one hand around her neck, covering her mouth, and holding her back.

Don't let her make any sound at all.

Qingbao and Sun Jiu followed behind, not daring to say a word.

The King of Jin didn't allow them to deal with Miss Shen, so even if they did, they would? Didn't they see that Miss Lu was held hostage?

Lu Zhaoling wanted to break free at first, but when she realized that he was offering himself to her, she didn't resist at all.

She does it so easily!

Besides, he was carrying her along, and the road seemed to be going uphill. She would be tired if she walked by herself, but being carried by him was really much easier.

Lu Zhaoling felt like a little chick compared to the size of Prince Jin.

He himself didn't worry about his legs, but she didn't care about him.

After walking for a while, the fog became thicker, the woods ahead seemed denser, and the air became more humid. After walking for a long time, the grass under their feet even wet their cloth boots, and King Jin slowed down.

It was quiet all around, and they hadn't met anyone else after walking for so long.

The fog was so thick that it was even more difficult to find the traces they left behind.

He stopped and listened carefully to the movements around him. When he didn't find anything, he lowered his head to look at the person in his arms.

At this glance, he saw that her head was resting on his arm, her mouth was covered but she didn't resist at all, and she looked so relaxed.

No, his posture, his gesture, and the way he carried someone away could at least be considered rude, right?

"Aren't you willing to resist?" he asked.

Lu Zhaoling hummed twice.

King Jin's face darkened, and he loosened his hand that was covering her mouth, and wiped it on her clothes, "Are you drooling?"

She could have kept silent before, since she had been trying to get him to do it all the way. But she had to refute what he said!

"Why am I drooling? Your hands don't look like pig's trotters."

He sneered, "You're also praising my beautiful hands?"

Lu Zhaoling was simply impressed. It was really impressive that he could take this opportunity to show off.

However, his hands are indeed beautiful, long and slender, with distinct joints.

"Miss Shen has already entered this fog, and you still don't care about her. If something happens to her, aren't you afraid that Prime Minister Shen will cause trouble for you?" Lu Zhaoling still asked.

Just now, Shen Xiangjun called him so delicately and firmly, but he was able to completely ignore her and ran away quietly.

"I'm waiting for him to cause trouble to me. That old guy is very cunning, he won't cause trouble to me casually, otherwise..." The corner of Jin's mouth slightly raised, and his tone was also frost-like and cold, "I will kill him."

"Do you have a grudge against Prime Minister Shen?"

"I just don't like it."

"You are not avoiding Miss Shen because you don't like Prime Minister Shen, right?"

King Jin frowned, "They are cunning and there is no benefit in having a good relationship with them."

Lu Zhaoling shook her head and sighed for Shen Xiangjun. Miss Shen certainly didn't know that Prince Jin didn't give her any chance at all because he hated her father.

Maybe Miss Shen thought that having her father around was an advantage for her to marry the King of Jin. You are wrong, girl.

"Okay, what are you talking about? I haven't even said anything to you yet. I told you not to run away, so why are you running in here?"

"We just heard someone screaming before."

"That's none of your business. We have Lin Rong and Chen Deshan." Prince Jin tapped her hand. "Now it's all right. We have to find someone even if we don't want to."

"Has Qingbao caught up?" Lu Zhaoling pulled his hand down and called out to the back, "Qingbao? Sun Jiu?"

After a while, footsteps were heard from the other side.

"Miss, there is a path here, and it seems to smell a bit of blood." Qingbao called her not far away.
