Inside Prince Li's Mansion.

Su Lixiao had just woken up from a coma, and he felt that his body was more relaxed than ever before. After the old illness relapsed, Su Lixiao would be exhausted, and it would take half a day to gradually recover after waking up.

But when he woke up today, he noticed changes in himself.

"Your Highness!?"

Yunfei saw Su Lixiao getting off the bed and hurriedly stepped forward.

"Your Highness, I feel that Your Highness looks much better today than before."

Yunfei saw the change in Su Lixiao at a glance, and was overjoyed and said with a smile.

"Well, I have also noticed it. Did anything happen in the palace while I was sleeping? How are Xiao Mo and Xiao Chen?"

Su Lixiao was in a good mood and asked what happened in Prince Li's house.ap.

"Your Highness, the young prince, Miss Xi, has been comforted and nothing strange has appeared in the house. However, the person you sent to protect Miss Xi has not returned yet..."

When Yunfei saw that King Li was awake, he told the story.

"When did this happen?" King Li frowned when he heard this. He noticed something was wrong here.

"Reporting to the prince, there has been no news from last night to early this morning! I have sent people to the Minister of Rites to inquire about the news. They will be back soon."

Yunfei showed displeasure to Su Lixiao and took the initiative to confess.

"This matter was not done well by my subordinates. Yesterday, because I was concerned about the affairs of Prince Li's house, I did not send Miss Xi back to the house in person. That's why I encountered everything now."

When Yunfei was pleading guilty to Su Lixiao, the director of the Divine Medical Pavilion came to his door.

Hearing this, Su Lixiao knew that something was most likely going to happen to Xi Qingyan, so he quickly invited the director of the Divine Medical Pavilion into the house.

"Your Majesty, please send someone to save our Valley Master!"

The manager of the Divine Medical Valley got straight to the point and took out the kidnapping and extortion letters he had received.

King Li Sulixiao took the letter and frowned even more tightly. This group of people was not a good one. Although Xi Qingyan was different from the other women he met, Xi Qingyan's skills were not that good...

Su Lixiao clenched the letter in her hand, with a lot of murderous intent and depression in her brows.

"Dad, has mother been kidnapped?" Xiaochen and Xiaomo firmly remembered what Xi Qingyan said yesterday, so they came to Su Lixiao early in the morning, but unexpectedly they were at the door.

Listening to the words of the director of the Divine Medical Pavilion, I asked, "Mother, how is she doing now? Dad, is she in danger?"

"I'm going to save my mother! Dad, take me with you to save your mother!"

Xi Xiaochen held Su Lixiao's hand and begged to speak out.

"For so many years, my mother and I have been dependent on each other. Now that my mother has been captured by bad guys, she must be very scared. No, I have to go find my mother now!"

"Xiaochen!"

Su Lixiao grabbed Xi Xiaochen who was about to go out to look for someone, and then held the person in her arms.

"Don't worry, dad will definitely rescue your mother."

"Really, Daddy?"

Xi Xiaochen looked up at Su Lixiao who was holding him, and continued to ask cautiously.

"real."

Seeing that Xi Xiaochen finally calmed down, Su Lixiao put the little guy next to Su Xiaomo, and then gave instructions to his son.

"Su Xiaomo, you are the elder brother. The elder brother has to protect his younger brother. Dad will go rescue your mother. You and Xiaochen will stay in the palace and wait for us to come back safely."

Su Xiaomo nodded vigorously, then held Xi Xiaochen's hand and watched Su Lixiao leave with the troops.

On the other side, Xi Qingyan was blindfolded and tied up in a secret room by a man in black.

The secret room was very quiet, and Xi Qingyan could not hear any sound. She was sure that she was the only one inside.

It's a pity that her hands are tied now, and she can't even pull off the black scarf covering her eyes.

Xi Qingyan used her legs that were tied together to describe her environment bit by bit, and then she found that she was now in a stone room, surrounded by cold stone tentacles.

wall.

After making sure that no one was watching her exploring the secret room, Xi Qingyan took out her usual small blade from her waist.

She patiently cut off the tied ropes bit by bit, and then uncovered the black scarf covering her eyes.

"Sure enough, there is a stone chamber right here..."

After taking off the cloth covering her eyes, what she saw was no different from what she had guessed.

The only difference is that this stone chamber has no doors or windows.

After Xi Qingyan completely untied the restraints on her hands and feet, she began to explore the wall bit by bit, hoping to find a mechanism to get out.

Xi Qingyan touched the walls one by one, and finally discovered the slight differences between the two stone slabs through careful and patient comparison.

She thought she had found a way out, but the next moment, water suddenly poured out of those many different walls.

"ah!"

Xi Qingyan was startled by the sudden flow of water. What made her even more alarmed was that at the same moment, water began to pour out of other walls.

In the blink of an eye, the water reached Xi Qingyan's knees.

Xi Qingyan realized that these people who kidnapped her wanted to drown her in this secret room!

However, these are not enough to make Xi Qingyan panic, because she can swim, and she taught Xi Xiaochen how to swim in order to save her life at a critical moment.

She is not worried that she will drown in the water. She is worried about how long she can hold on before suffocating if she remains trapped in the water...

Xi Qingyan forced herself to calm down. The more anxious she was now, the more confused she would be.

But in the current situation, she didn't want to calm down and immediately think of a way to escape, because the water had already reached her armpits while she was thinking...

"It seems that I really might die in this hellish place today!"

Xi Qingyan laughed at herself.

After a while, the water in the secret room directly covered Xi Qingyan's head. Xi Qingyan lay on her back in the water with her face exposed to prevent herself from suffocating to death in the water.

But she also knew that she wouldn't be able to hold on for long...

After traveling through a new life, she gradually developed feelings for the current world, even though everything was so bad when she first entered Xi Qingyan's body.

But after these days of getting along, Xi Qingyan had her own child, and Xiaochen and Xiaomo were such well-behaved and good children.

Moreover, she didn't expect that she would see Su Lixiao when she was on the verge of death.

"Su Lixiao..."

"It's me!" After Su Lixiao subdued the group of assassins, he pressed for the whereabouts of Xi Qingyan. When he heard that the secret room where Xi Qingyan was located was filled with water, all the bad thoughts filled his heart.

But fortunately, Xi Qingyan is still alive!

Su Lixiao rescued Xi Qingyan from the secret room, then wrapped Xi Qingyan in his big cloak and carried Xi Qingyan directly into the carriage.

Xi Qingyan always felt like she was in a dream along the way.

She still felt that she was in the secret room that suffocated her, and that everything in front of her was so unreal.

"Xi Qingyan, you have been rescued."

Su Lixiao saw Xi Qingyan in the carriage stunned and silent for a long time, so he took the initiative to put his arms around him and comforted him.

"Don't be afraid, you are still alive, we are all still alive."

Living is Su Lixiao's greatest expectation for Xi Qingyan.

He used to look at Xi Qingyan and thought that Xi Qingyan was suitable to be the princess of Prince Li's Mansion. But when he questioned the men in black and learned from them that Xi Qingyan was likely to die, Su Lixiao understood at that moment that Xi Qingyan was very likely to die.

Qingyan has a different meaning in his heart.

He is the God of War and has seen so many separations between life and death, but he can no longer accept that Xi Qingyan will pass away...

Just like back then, he couldn't accept the death of his mother...

Xi Qingyan has unknowingly and subtly become the person Su Lixiao recognizes in her heart.

"I'm alive."

Xi Qingyan felt the warmth in Su Lixiao's arms. At this moment, she dared to believe that she was really not dead.

The discomfort I felt when I was about to die just now faded away.

Xi Qingyan escaped from her near-death fear, and belatedly realized that the distance between her and Su Lixiao was so close, she could clearly hear Su Lixiao's heartbeat.

Xi Qingyan suddenly became excited and blushed profusely.

She quickly sat upright and gently pushed Su Lixiao out.

"Su Lixiao, you... have you investigated who instigated the group of people who kidnapped me?"

Xi Qingyan interrupted her conversation to ease her current embarrassing situation. Otherwise, she and Su Lixiao would have to sit face to face in this carriage. The two of them looked at each other and their thoughts were filled with the way Su Lixiao had just hugged her.

A embarrassing and uncomfortable scene.

"They are a hidden killer organization in Kyoto. The person who hired them this time is your sister Xi Chuyu."
