The swift horse was quickly prepared at the door. Qin Liu Yan took Yin Luo's dagger and let Yin Luo go first. After Yin Luo left, she pushed Jun Moyu towards Chen An Li Mu and leaped onto the horse, saying, "Your lord's poison will be lifted in an hour. Today's actions are all out of necessity; I hope King Huai can forgive us!"
As her voice fell, her figure had already disappeared into the distance. Jun Moyu looked at the dark night sky, struggling to control his emotions, and closed his eyes: Yin Luo, if I catch you again, I will definitely bring back today's humiliation!
The two had prepared everything before their departure. Now, leaving the manor, they immediately set off without delay, taking their leave and heading straight for the city gate.
It was already late at night. Although the city gate was closed, with Jun Moyu's token in hand, it was easy to open the gate.
The two traveled westward through the night towards Zhou Qi.
After a long journey, by early morning the next day, they had arrived at Xizi Town, found an inn to rest, and finally relaxed their tense nerves.
They requested a room, washed up, and after a good sleep, they felt rested.
Meanwhile, Jun Moyu's group, originally heading towards Zhou Qi, received news of Yin Luo's whereabouts and immediately ordered their people to pack their bags and pursue them during the day.
Naturally, Yin Luo did not dare to rest for too long. After sleeping in the morning, she and Qin Liu Yan had lunch and then quickly checked out to continue their journey. They spent the night in the forest, where they built a fire before feeling secure enough to sleep.
However, unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, they suddenly heard the sound of hooves approaching. Yin Luo woke up in alarm and exchanged glances with Qin Liu Yan; both saw something in each other's eyes and had no time to escape.
A large group rushed forward, surrounding them completely. Jun Moyu, dressed in black and exceptionally handsome, approached Yin Luo and Qin Liu Yan with a slight bow and said, "I hope you have been well, Miss Yin."
Since she had already been caught by him, Yin Luo decided not to struggle futilely anymore. Leaning against a tree behind her with a lazy smile, she said, "Your Highness has gone to such lengths to track me down despite important state affairs; I wonder what your purpose is?"
Jun Moyu's sharp gaze swept over her like an arrow: "You have mocked me twice now, especially playing tricks right under my nose. Do you think I would let you go?"
Yin Luo curled her lips slightly and ran her fingers through her long hair with a light laugh: "So that's it. To clear your previous shame, Your Highness's current demeanor is indeed quite startling."
Jun Moyu smirked and gestured to Chen An Li Mu, who immediately stepped forward to subdue Qin Liu Yan.
Knowing that they were outnumbered made struggling pointless. Yin Luo turned to Qin Liu Yan beside her and said, "Don't worry; Your Highness won't harm us."
Qin Liu Yan did not struggle any longer and was directly taken by Chen An and Li Mu onto a nearby carriage.
"What will the prince do with me?" Although she had already become a captive, Yin Luo showed no trace of fear on her face.
Jun Moyu admired her courage as a mere woman and smiled, saying, "Since you have been so attentive to me, I will naturally treat you well."
As soon as he finished speaking, he stepped forward, sealed Yin Luo's acupoints, and then lifted her up by the waist, striding towards his horse.
After leaping onto the horse with Yin Luo in his arms, he immediately instructed the group to continue on their way.
With Yin Luo held against him, unable to move much, she looked at his strong and handsome profile and couldn't help but smile slightly, saying, "This isn't the way to Xiyu; I wonder where we are headed?"
"I have an appointment with an old friend; we are going to Li Xia Valley. Unfortunately, Li Xia Valley is within the territory of Zhou Qi."
Yin Luo smiled lightly, realizing this. It was just unfortunate that she had chosen the wrong direction! She gazed at the dense forest and asked, "Does the prince not intend to let me go?"
Jun Moyu scoffed, his voice becoming intermittent in the strong wind. "I will give you an unexpected great gift; from now on, you are not allowed to leave!"
A great gift?
Yin Luo raised her head, her gaze landing on his resolute chin. "Has the prince discovered my identity?"
Jun Moyu glanced down at her. "What do you want to say?"
"I am already a married woman; the prince should not think of anything inappropriate."
Jun Moyu was taken aback. Although he had suspected this aspect, hearing her say it out loud made him feel uncomfortable for a moment. However, it was only fleeting. He smirked and said, "It seems you are quite perceptive! But you are mistaken; I do not care whether you are married or not. After tonight, you will be my woman, and that will never change for the rest of your life!"
Tonight?
Yin Luo blinked. "The prince is really impatient! However, given my status, even if you do not mind, the people of Xiyu would not agree."
"My marriage has nothing to do with the common people," Jun Moyu said, lowering his gaze at her. "Rest assured, my father loves me the most. Even if you are already a married woman, as long as it is what I desire, he will not say anything."
Yin Luo lowered her gaze and replied, "Yes, for a woman from an ordinary family, he would not say anything. But what if this married woman is the enemy's consort?"
The horse neighed and suddenly stopped. Jun Moyu fixed his gaze on Yin Luo's eyes. "What did you say?"
Yin Luo looked at the attendants who were following behind him and smiled slightly. "The place where a fierce battle took place last month, where the prince just withdrew his troops, must be deeply etched in your memory."
Jun Moyu's expression darkened as he waited for her to continue.
"I have just walked out from among countless soldiers' corpses. I believe the prince has heard that the woman saved by the Jin Prince after stepping over thousands of bodies and bathing in blood at the northern gate of Fenghua is me."
"The Jin Princess? You..." Jun Moyu was stunned into silence, his eyes blazing with fury.
Indeed, how could he not have thought of this? The woman whom the Jin Prince had protected with his life during that great battle had clearly escaped from Fenghua safely. However, he had received news early on that this woman had perished in the sea of flames, and because of this news, he had been blinded and obstructed in his thinking. One must ask, who else could possess such heavenly beauty and extraordinary strategy if not the Jin Princess?
That woman who had caused chaos in Fenghua through meticulous schemes using poison—such a well-planned and seamless plot had been uncovered by a single woman. His shock at that time was beyond words. Moreover, even Li Rui's troops stationed at the border had been reminded by this woman, leading to their failed ambush. Although they had achieved initial success in battle, they suffered heavy losses. In the grand battle for Fenghua City, his five thousand elite soldiers stationed at the northern gate were completely annihilated because of her. This woman was simply his nemesis!
Yet he never expected that someone who repeatedly thwarted his plans would actually cross paths with him again. Even if he laid out a net to catch her, she still managed to outsmart him.
Jun Moyu narrowed his eyes. Good, very good!
There was no woman in this world that he could not conquer; he would have her. What did it matter if she was the Jin Princess or an enemy consort? What did it matter if she was the most beautiful woman? No matter how difficult she was to handle, Jun Moyu could still tame her into submission.
After contemplating all this, Jun Moyu fixed his gaze on her clear eyes that shone like moonlight and said solemnly, "What I want is you!"
The horse galloped through the dense forest as their group hurried towards their next stop.
The only inn in Yanzhi Town was taken over by Jun Moyu with a large sum of money. He didn't care how others viewed him; he directly carried Yin Luo back to their room, ignoring Qin Liu Yan's struggles behind them.
Her body was immobilized by acupoints. As soon as Jun Moyu entered the room, he threw her onto the bed. He initially intended to take further action when there was a knock at the door. Outside, Yao Chenzi's voice drifted in like a gentle breeze: "Your Highness, I have urgent matters to discuss with you."
Jun Moyu glanced at Yin Luo, pulled down the curtain, and warned, "Just lie down properly for me!"
After he finished speaking, he walked to the door, opened it, and left with Yao Chenzi.
The room returned to silence. Yin Luo listened carefully, confirming that the two had walked far away. The tension in her body eased as she looked up at the gauze curtain and exhaled a breath of frustration.
She glanced around; the gauze curtain blocked her view of her surroundings, making it impossible to plan an escape.
Unfortunately, at this moment, her acupoints were sealed, and any close-range tactics were nearly impossible. For now, she could only wait and see if she could entice him into unsealing her acupoints.
However, after everything that had happened before, she feared that Jun Moyu would not easily trust her.
Yin Luo sighed deeply.
She had planned for so long, with every detail meticulously arranged, but this Jun Moyu had disrupted everything. Now, the hope for freedom seemed bleak. Since her identity was exposed, the news would surely spread soon; a secret cannot be kept forever. Without Prince Jin's protection, her value as his consort would likely diminish.
Thinking of Mu Changqing, Yin Luo narrowed her eyes slightly. If he were safe and sound, would he come to rescue her despite how heartless she had been toward him?
She lowered her eyelids. Now that she was captured by Jun Moyu, the situation was unfavorable for both of them. For now, she could only take things one step at a time.
