Pampered Consort of the Fragrant Orchard

Chapter 84 part1

Du Xiao Li didn’t expect that he would choose to escape. One failure to notice, and he was already flying away. But just as he was about to get away, he got kicked back again, heavily falling onto the ground.

Next, a slender figure landed, and seeing the perfectly intact Du Xiao Li on top the tree, his anger finally curbed a little.

“Big brother Yi? How come you’re here?” Du Xiao Li looked to Han Ming Yi, as she flew down and landed next to him.

“Are you alright?” Han Ming Yi asked.

“I’m fine.” Du Xiao Li shook her head and replied.

At this time, Leng Yi and a few others flew over too. Seeing the corpses on the ground, they prepared to go have the ones that were still alive tied up. But just as they found the live ones, fresh black blood flowed out from the enemies mouths. All of them had ingested the poison hidden in their mouths and committed suicide!

Du Xiao Li looked to Luo Fu. He’d also ingested poison the moment he saw Han Ming Yi. With this, everyone on the other side had died off, not a single one left alive.

“De, de, de—–” The sound of horse hooves came through. Du Xiao Li looked over, seeing an extremely anxious Du Yun Han on horseback.

“Father also came?” Du Xiao Li knew that if she didn’t go to Sui Yuan, Han Ming Yi perhaps would come looking, but she didn’t expect that even Du Yun Han would come too!

“Daughter, are you hurt? Quickly let father have a look!” Du Yun Han came to Du Xiao Li’s side and jumped down from the horse, holding Du Xiao Li’s hand and looking left and right.

“Father, I’m fine.” Seeing Du Yun Han’s panicked look, Du Xiao Li consoled, and also stopped him from continuing to examine her.

“Are you really alright? What’s this blood here?” Du Yun Han saw the blood on Du Xiao Li’s sleeve and said with a worried look.

“This is those people’s blood, not mine.” Du Xiao Li pulled down her sleeve, her fair and tender arms not having the slightest injury. Seeing this, Du Yun Han finally relaxed.

“What happened here? Do you know who kidnapped you?” Du Yun Han asked.

“The one that kidnapped me was someone from Yan Luo Hall. However, Yin Yue Xuan didn’t say who their client was. I originally wanted to have them captured and then ask, but unexpectedly, they all died.” Du Xiao Li said.

Hearing Du Xiao Li say his name, Yin Yue Xuan saw the cold air around Han Ming Yi’s body and couldn’t help but shiver.

Getting remembered by him wasn’t a good thing! Although Han Ming Yi was very good-looking………

“Who?” Leng Yi suddenly looked towards the direction in which Yin Yue Xuan was hiding.

Having been discovered, Yin Yue Xuan didn’t hide anymore as he flew atop the nearby tree and looked to Du Xiao Li, shouting: “Miss Du, tomorrow, I will be at Feng Xue Lou on time and look forward to your visit! Farewell——-“

With that said, he quickly left this troublesome place.

Leng Yi had intended to chase after, but was stopped by Han Ming Yi. “No need to chase after, Yin Yue Xuan’s qinggong isn’t something you all can catch up to.”

“Yes, master.”

Leng Er and them went and searched each and every body. These people didn’t have anything on them, nothing capable of identifying them. They all looked to Han Ming Yi and shook their heads, expressing that there was nothing to gain.

Because the sky was gradually darkening, everyone decided to return first, leaving behind Leng Er and them to see if they can find any clues here.

Du Yun Han didn’t ride back on horseback either, sitting together with Du Xiao Li in the horse carriage, and immediately after Han Ming Yi also squeezed in, having Xia Yuan and Ying Ge squeezed out, who instead had to ride on horseback.

On the way back, Du Xiao Li and them also went and picked up Qiao Zhu who was still waiting atop a tree. Seeing Du Xiao Li, Qiao Zhu instantly started crying, saying she wanted to learn martial arts from Xia Yuan and them, so that in the future, she can also protect Du Xiao Li, and no longer be their burden.

Because Qiao Zhu didn’t know how to ride a horse, she shared a horse with Xia Yuan, and during the entire way back, she kept going on and on about letting Xia Yuan teach her martial arts when they return.

In the horse carriage, Du Xiao Li recounted what happened after she participated in Fu Ya Lan’s coming-of-age ceremony, having gotten hazily taken out of the capital by Yin Yue Xuan. And looking to Du Yun Han, she also had Du Ke Xin’s appearance hidden from him.

“This Yan Luo Hall have always refused jobs that relate to the imperial court. How come they came and kidnaped Xiao Li this time?” Du Yun Han asked, somewhat perplexed.

“Seemingly, Yan Luo Hall’s master owed them a favor.” Du Xiao Li wasn’t sure either. She previously had heard of Yan Luo Hall’s reputation before, but didn’t expect that they would encounter them this soon.
