Chapter 1053: Escape IV

Gu Yiyi believed only half of it, but eventually, she still decided to believe in You Lan this one time.
Although she had always felt that this girl, You Lan, was without ill intentions, she was still somewhat unreliable.
Exactly the same as Tang Yin.
“We’ve arrived!”
You Lan grinned and turned her head. “This is my secret passage. Luckily, it is dark tonight. It is easier for us to carry out our tasks. Yiyi, I don’t know when we’ll be able to meet again after this…”
Goodbye…
Before the last two words were spoken, suddenly numerous torches appeared in front of them, lighting up the darkness.
Gu Yiyi turned her head around, stiffly. “You Lan, didn’t you say that nobody knows of this secret passage? Isn’t tonight supposed to be very safe?”
You Lan’s smile froze and her face looked like she was going to cry. “I don’t know. I don’t know anything.”
In front of them were a few guards. Two people walked toward them.
One person’s face was quite handsome but gloomy, causing people to feel uncomfortable.
The other man was older, grinning like a vicious tiger, his eyes looked sinister.
“Zheng Tianwu!”
You Lan’s face darkened. Her fists tightly clenched.
It must have been this person who had gotten the information from god-knows-where and went to tell Eldest Imperial Brother the secret. This bastard deserved to die!
“Gu Yiyi, You Lan, where are you all intending to go?”
The man who was at the forefront had incredibly cold eyes, his handsome face was filled with murderous intent.
You Lan’s heart sank. Her hand secretly rested on the brick wall behind her as she pressed hard on it, causing a secret passage to appear before everybody’s eyes.
Perhaps the eldest prince knew what You Lan wanted to do then as he rushed toward You Lan in the blink of an eye.
However, You Lan was still a step faster. She reached out and pushed Gu Yiyi into the secret passage.
After that she pressed hard once again and the brick wall returned to its normal appearance.
The moment the eldest prince appeared before her, You Lan had already used her fist to smash into the mechanism that was not obvious on the brick wall. Thus, the mechanism was wrecked.
This mechanism blended in well with the stone walls, so it was usually hardly noticeable. However, after You Lan’s hit, a dent had appeared on the brick wall and the original mechanism was no more.
Boom!
The eldest prince’s fist landed on You Lan’s chest, causing her to fly away. She spewed a mouthful of blood as her face turned pale.
“You Lan!!!” The eldest prince’s fist shook. His eyes lit up with rage. “Do you know what you are doing?”
You Lan rubbed the corners of her mouth and stood up. Her face broke into a sneer.
“Eldest Imperial Brother, she is not willing to be your woman. Why do you keep insisting on it?”
The vein on the eldest prince’s forehead was throbbing. In a fit of anger, he mercilessly strangled You Lan’s neck.
“This whole piece of land belongs to the royal family! I like her. Sooner or later she will be my woman! I have already given her sufficient time and respect. I did not force her, but you have actually gone and let her go!
“Did you think that if you have let her go that I wouldn’t be able to find her? Let me tell you, whoever I want, I will get. The next time she is back, even if she is unwilling, I will make her my woman!”
You Lan laughed in disdain.
‘Before this, Father Emperor had forced Mother Consort into the palace. And now… Eldest Imperial Brother also intends to do the same.’
Are all men so unyielding?
If that was the case, in this life, she, You Lan, would never marry anyone!
None of the men was good!
“Eldest Prince…” When Zheng Tianwu saw that it was about time, he grinned and moved forward. “Calm down a little. Princess You Lan is still your sister. If she has done something wrong, just giving her a little punishment will do the trick. Why take her life? She is just young and she doesn’t understand. She has been manipulated. Furthermore, if you kill her, it would be hard to explain to His Majesty.”
