Chapter 450 - 429: One More Update
Zheng Nianru did not answer and looked at Ju Nanyi, hmmm, there was definitely something wrong with the Ju Nanyi before her. The man had always been very steady; even when she issued a fake Imperial Edict that forced him into rebellion, he simply accepted it silently, and even adapted to the situation at a faster pace, turning the entire tide.
So now, they had fallen into this cave, and it was more dangerous than that time?
Indeed, Ju Nanyi always lacked grand vision in his undertakings. If it weren’t for her pushing him to the brink and elevated him to that high position, his whole life might have been just about achieving some success and climbing the ranks, perhaps that was his ultimate goal.
"Don’t be afraid, someone will come to save us," Zheng Nianru said, being in the position she was now, it was natural for her to think that way, given her humble identity and her still disputed status as the Commandery Princess.
Upon hearing this, Ju Nanyi slightly startled, seemingly wanting to mock where the woman before him got her confidence from.
Was it from the forces held by Prince Duan? Now that the Northwest border had not yet fallen into chaos, Prince Duan’s forces were only a precaution against the Crown Prince. After all, The Emperor’s people were still around, and in a few months, Emperor Jingzhi would pass away from illness.
"The terrain here is concave. If we follow the water flow, we should be able to find an exit." Ju Nanyi, who did not intend to talk, still spoke up; waiting for others to rescue them was not as good as finding a way out themselves.
Ju Nanyi had thought about the identity of Zheng Nianru’s kidnappers, but there was nothing much to guess. They were dressed in black and masked; he had seen them before—they belonged to The Emperor, and after Emperor Jingzhi’s death, these people would become the Hidden Guards of the Crown Prince.
So, why did Emperor Jingzhi want to capture Zheng Nianru, and moreover, administer such a drug? Ju Nanyi’s mind was once filled with various thoughts, but now, he found an extremely strange situation unfolding before him.
