Wen Zheng hardly dared to look into Ye Chu's eyes, while Qin Xinrou winked at the bandit leader, who obediently let go of his right hand.

Wen Zheng's words reached the ears of the bandit leader, who laughed loudly: "What an emperor, indeed, a wife is not as good as a concubine!"

Qin Xinrou, who was about to take a step, frowned when she heard this, with infinite unwillingness in her heart.Even the uneducated mountains and wild grass think that Ye Chu is the emperor's wife as the empress.

She is a dignified Concubine Shu...just a concubine!

Thinking of this, Qin Xinrou paused, and did not run towards Wen Zheng's place tremblingly as everyone expected.

An idea popped up in her mind in the blink of an eye, she pretended to be overly nervous and tripped over a stone on the ground, and knocked down the bandit leader... together with Ye Chu, who was tightly grasped by his left hand.

Although this was a method that Qin Xinrou suddenly thought of, it was also a situation that she had always vaguely envisioned in her mind when she was acting.

After all, regarding the man in black who appeared in the forest holding a wooden sign, the bandits only vaguely guessed that the reason why Qin Xinrou changed her clothes was unknown, but the leader of the bandits really knew that Qin Xinrou was the one. The mastermind behind the hijacking.

If the bandit leader survived for a day, Qin Xinrou would always worry that if this person fell into Wen Zheng's hands and couldn't help being tortured and revealed all the truth, how would she face Wen Zheng's accusation?

This was a good time, Qin Xinrou pretended that she was exhausted after being caught, and accidentally tripped and knocked her off the cliff.

She looked at Ye Chu and the bandits who were falling straight down, sitting on the muddy ground beside the cliff, calling out incessantly.

Zhi Qing's exclamation also sounded, and the guards of the imperial guards beside him didn't care about other things, and immediately drew their swords and charged forward.

Although Wen Zheng hated Qin Xinrou very much, he still had reason, so he restrained himself and sent three soldiers of the imperial army to help Qin Xinrou up from the ground.He glanced at it, then looked away, staring at the vast white mist under the cliff, took a deep breath and tried to jump.

Eunuch Zhang was taken aback, he threw away the fly whisk in his hand, and hugged Wen Zheng tightly with this old bone.

"Your Majesty, calm down. This servant will let the officers and men of the imperial army go to the bottom of the cliff to look for the empress's traces. You must not be impulsive! You are the king of a country, and you must not lose anything!"

Eunuch Zhang snotted and burst into tears as he spoke, and the imperial guards next to him also looked at Wen Zheng worriedly, for fear that he would be unable to restrain himself and have an accident due to impulsiveness.

Wen Zheng shook his head silently, and signaled with his eyes to the leader of the forbidden army next to him to arrange for everyone to search and rescue Ye Chu, without saying a word.

Seeing him calm down, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Wen Zheng's side is very safe, but there are constant shouts and killings nearby.

The bandits suddenly lost their leader and the hostage they depended on, and Qin Xinrou was also protected by the palace guards. Without the support, the bandits naturally became the souls of the soldiers of the Forbidden Army.

Some of the gangsters screamed for mercy, but Wen Zheng's face was extremely gloomy, and others were guessing at his thoughts, so they didn't dare to leave him alive.For a moment, the blood on the cliff was stained red, and the strong smell of blood dyed the place like a purgatory on earth.

The monks of Zhuyin Temple originally wanted to help out, but seeing the bloody scene, even the monks put down their weapons and sat cross-legged on a clean high place, chanting words with prayer beads in their hands.

Seeing that the situation had stabilized, Qin Xinrou deliberately walked over to Wen Zheng holding the corner of her skirt in a cautious manner, and said, "Your Majesty, this concubine really slipped for a while..."

Wen Zheng glanced at her coldly, remained silent for a moment, and then reluctantly asked in a gentle tone: "Shouldn't you be grounded in the palace? Why did you appear at the back mountain of Zhuyin Temple at this time?"

Sure enough!

Qin Xinrou had already thought up her speech before, but now she spoke without changing her expression, and it sounded extremely fluent.

"The purpose of this concubine's visit to Zhuyin Temple is to bring gifts to the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager mentioned earlier that she wanted to eat the cloud and mountain snow lotus in the north."

"It just so happened that yesterday the Qin family's steward found a plant outside... This plant is not suitable for the climate of the capital, and has been kept in ice. The concubine was worried that the medicinal effect of the snow lotus would be affected, so she rushed to present it to the Queen Mother!"

What she said was half true and half false. When she came to Zhulin Temple this time, she did bring a piece of snow lotus from Yunhe Mountain.

After the Queen Mother received the snow lotus, she greatly appreciated Qin Xinrou's kindness, and immediately asked people to cook the snow lotus with medicinal food, but before this matter was brought up to Wen Zheng and Ye Chu, the two happened The mountain was hijacked.

Seeing that the Queen Mother was involved, Ding Xiang hurried out, nodded to Wen Zheng's questioning gaze, and said, "There is indeed such a thing!"

Although Ding Xiang was unwilling to stand up at this time, the fact that the Queen Mother received Xuelian cannot be hidden from others.If she doesn't take the initiative now, if she is held accountable in the future, she will die!

Ding Xiang is a person around the Queen Mother who is naturally reliable in speaking, Wen Zheng squinted his eyes and did not speak, but waved Ding Xiang to retreat.

Although he felt that Qin Xinrou was very suspicious, but there was no actual evidence, and he couldn't take down Qin Xinrou who had a deep background.And the most urgent task is to find Ye Chu who fell under the cliff... The longer the time dragged on, the more anxious he became, and it was difficult to stabilize his mood.

Ye Chu was also lucky, the bandit leader fell off the cliff and died on the spot, but she got caught on a branch halfway up the mountain when she fell.Ye Chu weighed even less, so he hung on the tree and tried his best to support it, but it lasted for a long time enough for her to recover.

After being able to move, Ye Chu carefully climbed onto the raised rock on the stone wall and slowly moved down.

After some time, Ye Chu could already see the river flowing below, but at such a high place... even if she jumped and fell into the water, she couldn't guarantee that she wouldn't be injured internally due to the impact.

For the sake of his own life, Ye Chu chose to stay on a raised platform on the stone wall, waiting for Wen Zheng to send someone to rescue him.But as the sky darkened a little bit, she still didn't hear the voice of people who came to search and rescue.

Just when Ye Chu was cold and hungry, a small boat with a light hanging on it suddenly came across the river.

A young man was sitting on the boat, his handsome face flickered under the orange light, and when he looked up, it was Ye Chu's familiar face.

Ye Chu's eyes widened, she was so tired that she almost lost her mind, she just looked at the blurred lights in her vision and started calling for help.

Lin Muxuan, who was holding a pole in his hand, heard the voice and looked up, and under the moonlight, he found that there was a woman making a voice on a platform on a cliff more than ten feet high.
