Jun Mo pulled Su Li behind him.

"Liang Xuanting, by doing this, aren't you afraid of inciting war and becoming the sinner of two nations?"

Liang Xuanting sneered, saying: "Jun Mo, you have the audacity to accuse this Heir? Miss Su was supposed to be this Heir's Heir Consort! You interfered and stole another's beloved; aren't you worried about inciting war?"

Jun Mo said coldly: "This Prince and Li'er already had an engagement. The one who interfered is you!"

"Heh! Engagement? Do you take this Heir for a three-year-old child? Enough nonsense! If you hand over Miss Su today, this matter will be written off. Otherwise, Miss Su will become the femme fatale spoken of by the people."

Su Li's face darkened. No matter what she did, it was a disaster for her.

The smile had already vanished from Jun Mo's face.

"Since it's come to this, I will make you remain in Tianqi forever!"

In an instant, the two were entangled in combat again.

One fan, one sword—only afterimages could be seen.

Waves of sword qi slashed through, instantly sending sand and stones flying, withering trees.

But this situation lasted less than a quarter of an hour.

"Bang!"

Liang Xuanting fell from the air, propping himself up with one hand before leaping back to his feet.

There was already blood at the corner of his mouth.

In contrast, Jun Mo, clad in purple robes, landed gracefully before Su Li.

With a 'shua' sound, he unfolded his fan.

Just then, the Mo Guards and the black-clothed men also caught up.

Instantly, another chaotic battle erupted.

Liang Xuanting fiercely wiped the blood from his mouth, gripped his sword, and flew forward again.

Jun Mo raised his fan to meet the attack.

This time, Liang Xuanting lasted for a quarter of an hour.

"Heir!!"

Liang Xuanting spat out a mouthful of blood, feeling a burning sensation in his chest.

A black-clothed man shouted loudly: "Chang Ming, protect the Heir and retreat first!"

Saying this, he raised his sword and charged towards Jun Mo.

Chang Ming gritted his teeth and helped Liang Xuanting up.

"Heir, let's go!"

For a moment, the black-clothed men attacked desperately.

They actually managed to momentarily hold back Jun Mo and the Mo Guards.

Liang Xuanting took a deep look at Su Li, then glanced at the personal guards fighting desperately for him.

"Heir! Quick—go! Yah!!"

Liang Xuanting's eyes reddened. He resolutely turned his head.

Chang Ming supported Liang Xuanting, grabbed a horse, and galloped away.

A moment later, the ground was littered with the corpses of black-clothed men.

Mo Yang said: "Let's pursue!"

Jun Mo said faintly: "Don't pursue a desperate enemy."

Jun Mo walked to Su Li's side and said softly: "Let's go back."

Just as Su Li was about to reply, her vision suddenly went black, and she collapsed towards the ground.

"Li'er!"

...

Waking up again, Su Li looked at the unfamiliar surroundings.

A faint scent of sandalwood, fine rays of sunlight filtering through the window, sprinkling the room.

Peeking through the cyan bed curtains, she surveyed the room.

This room seemed exceptionally quiet.

The air was still; charcoal burned in the room, warm and comfortable.

There weren't many items in the room, but each piece was exquisitely luxurious, showcasing the extraordinary taste of the room's owner.

Su Li got up, put on her shoes and socks, and opened the door to go outside.

The scenery in the courtyard was even more stunning, demonstrating the owner's remarkable taste.

"Awake?"

Su Li turned around, looking at the man approaching from a distance.

"Is this your room?"

Jun Mo nodded.

"Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere else?"

Su Li shook her head. "I'm fine. Thank you for everything this time."

Jun Mo said softly: "It's also thanks to Li'er's cleverness, being able to leave clues under those circumstances."

Su Li said: "The silver powder on the carriage wheel ran out eventually. How did you recognize me?"

Jun Mo said: "Your eyes."

Su Li paused.

"I have never seen eyes clearer than yours. Although it was just a brief glance then, I knew it was you!"

Su Li looked at his smiling eyes, her heart inexplicably tightening.

"Having been away overnight, my parents must be worried. I need to return to the manor."

Jun Mo smiled: "You're going back just like this?"

Only then did Su Li realize she was still wearing an unfamiliar face.

Jun Mo handed over a porcelain bottle.

Su Li took it and sniffed – it was the potion to remove the disguise.

"You were unwilling to reveal your true face, so I didn't take the liberty of removing it for you."

Su Li paused, then smiled: "It was I who was being narrow-minded."

"Don't worry. Your maidservant came to my manor last night. I had her go back and say that you gained the appreciation of Eldest Princess Xun Min and stayed at her residence. Later, we'll go to her residence, and she can send someone to escort you back to your manor."

Su Li was touched by his thoughtfulness.

Eldest Princess Xun Min was the current Emperor's legitimate younger sister. She lost her husband early in life and had only one daughter, who was also frail and sickly.

Returning to the room, a maid brought clothes and water.

Jun Mo waited outside the door.

Su Li removed the disguise and freshened up again.

Looking at the veil, Su Li held it in her hand and pushed the door open.

"Let's go..." Jun Mo's words caught in his throat when he saw her face.

Her skin was fairer than snow; without makeup or jewelry, her beauty was like a hibiscus emerging from clear water, like peach blossoms blooming. A smile graced her lips, vibrant and fragrant.

Her phoenix eyes shimmered, possessing a unique elegance and noble air, like an immortal, like a spirit, captivating all who saw, yet deterring any improper thoughts.

Su Li smiled faintly: "Let's go."

Jun Mo regained his composure and followed behind her.

As they were about to exit the manor gate...

"You... better put the veil on."

Hearing this, Su Li chuckled softly.

She picked up the veil and gently covered that stunning face.

Minister's Manor

"Young Miss is back! Young Miss is back!"

The gatekeeper's loud voice echoed throughout the Minister's Manor.

Mother Su quickly ran outside.

"Madam, slow down!"

Father Su quickly supported her, afraid she might slip.

"Li'er, you've finally returned!"

"Mother, the Eldest Princess just asked me to treat the Commandery Princess. It got late, so she had daughter stay overnight. I made Mother worry."

Mother Su nodded. "Si Qin came back and told me everything, but with you gone overnight, Mother was still worried."

Su Li helped Mother Su into the courtyard and chatted with her for a long time before returning to her own courtyard.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, her three maids surrounded her, fussing over her well-being.

"Young Miss, are you injured?"

"Yes, Young Miss! You can hide it from the Master and Madam, but don't hide it from us!"

"Young Miss, are you hungry? Zhi Shu will go to the kitchen right now and get your favorite food!" Saying this, she ran off like a gust of wind.

Su Li felt warmth in her heart. She took one maid by each hand and led them into the room.

"Your Young Miss is fine. Look, not a single hair is out of place."

Si Qin's tears instantly fell.

"Young Miss, thank goodness His Highness the Prince rescued you! Otherwise, otherwise this servant..."

Su Li wiped her tears.

"Stop crying. Didn't I return safe and sound?"

Seeing the maid's eyes red and swollen, with dark circles underneath, she guessed she hadn't slept all night.

"Young Miss, quickly! These crystal cakes just came out of the steamer! And your favorite dishes."

Zhi Shu carried a tray, saying cheerfully.

Su Li smiled, sat down at the table, and began to eat.

The maids stood beside her, pouring tea, handing water, serving dishes, not missing a single detail.

Su Li contentedly wiped her mouth.

"Alright, alright, I'm full too. You three, quickly go rest. You definitely didn't sleep last night."

"This servant isn't tired."

Su Li's face turned stern.

"Go quickly!"

Si Qin said: "Then... Young Miss, call us if you need anything. We will take our leave first."

"Mm."
