Starting in Exile: Transmigrated as the Crown Prince's Lucky Little Wife

Chapter 79 The mystery of Gu Liuli's background is finally solved!

Looking at the men in black who had surrounded her and her guards, Gu Liuli quickly calmed down. She knew that panicking would be useless at this moment, and she had to come up with a solution as soon as possible.

Among the men in black, one who appeared to be the leader stepped forward and said coldly, "Hand over the Thousand-Year Ice Lotus, and I'll spare your lives."

Gu Liuli snorted coldly, "Who are you people? Why are you trying to steal the Thousand-Year Ice Lotus?"

The leader in black didn't answer, but simply waved his hand, signaling his men to attack. Instantly, the men in black pounced on Gu Liuli and her companions like ghosts. Gu Liuli's guards showed no fear, brandishing their weapons and engaging in a desperate struggle with the men in black.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Gu Liuli used the agility granted by the system's hidden auxiliary function to weave among the men in black. Seizing her opportunity, she struck with lightning speed, repelling several of them in succession.

However, the men in black were numerous and each possessed exceptional skills, and the guards gradually found themselves at a disadvantage.

Gu Liuli was frantic. She knew she had to break through as soon as possible, otherwise not only would the Thousand-Year Ice Lotus be lost, but everyone would perish. She fought while keeping an eye on the surrounding terrain. Suddenly, she spotted an ice cliff not far away, with a frozen river flowing below.

Gu Liuli's heart skipped a beat, and she shouted loudly to the guards, "Everyone, break through towards the ice cliff!"

Hearing Gu Liuli's shouts, the guards charged towards the icy cliff with all their might. Gu Liuli stayed behind to cover their retreat, constantly repelling the pursuing men in black.

Just as they were about to reach the ice cliff, a man in black seized the opportunity and attacked Gu Liuli from the side. Gu Liuli was unable to dodge in time, and her arm was slashed.

"Crown Princess!" a guard exclaimed.

Gu Liuli gritted her teeth, enduring the pain, and turned to stab the man in black with her sword. At the same time, they finally arrived at the edge of the ice cliff.

Looking down at the icy river below the cliff, Gu Liuli steeled her resolve and shouted to the guards, "Jump!"

Having said that, she took the lead and leaped into the icy river. The guards did not hesitate at all and followed suit.

The men in black chased the enemy to the edge of the ice cliff, looked at the icy river, exchanged bewildered glances, and finally had no choice but to leave.

After drifting along the icy river for some distance, Gu Liuli and her guards struggled to climb ashore on a gentler bank. They were soaked to the bone and bitterly cold, but Gu Liuli's heart was only...

He had one thought: to rush back to the palace as soon as possible to save his father.

Meanwhile, in the palace, Jiang Liushen had not given up investigating the clues about the mole. Xiao Jingchuan, looking at the minister's corpse, suddenly realized something.

"Liu Shen, since this minister's death was to silence him, those around him might know something. We can start our investigation by looking at his attendants and family members."

Jiang Liushen's eyes lit up. "You're right, let's go right now."

The two men immediately sprang into action, conducting a thorough investigation of the minister's residence. After some questioning and searching, they found an unfinished letter in the minister's study, the letter containing...

A mysterious organization was mentioned, seemingly the mastermind behind everything, with the minister merely a pawn in their game.

Xiao Jingchuan frowned. "It seems that the forces behind this are more complex than we imagined."

Jiang Liushen nodded, "That's right, but this is also an important clue. If we follow this clue, we might be able to find out who's behind it all."

However, just as they were preparing to conduct a further investigation, news came from the palace that Jiang He's condition had deteriorated rapidly, and he had fallen into a coma and probably wouldn't last much longer.

Looking at Gu Liuli's wounds, Xiao Jingchuan couldn't contain his anger.

When Xiao Jingchuan saw the wound on Gu Liuli's arm, he couldn't contain his anger. He gripped Gu Liuli's hand tightly, his voice low and furious: "Liuli, who exactly are they? These people have gone too far, daring to lay a hand on you!"

Gu Liuli looked at Xiao Jingchuan, enduring the pain from her wounds, and comforted him, "Jingchuan, I'm fine. The most important thing right now is to save Father Emperor. We finally got our hands on this Thousand-Year Ice Lotus, and we can't afford any more mistakes."

Xiao Jingchuan took a deep breath, trying to calm his anger. "Fine, save His Majesty Jiang He first. But I will not let this matter rest. I will find the mastermind behind this and make them pay the price!"

At this moment, Jiang Liushen also rushed over. Seeing Gu Liuli injured, he was full of worry: "Liuli, how are you? It's all my fault for not protecting you."

Gu Liuli shook her head. "Brother, it's not your fault. Let's hurry and go see Father. Hopefully, the Thousand-Year Ice Lotus can save him in time."

The three rushed to Jiang He's palace. Ignoring her exhaustion, Gu Liuli immediately began preparing to refine the elixir. Following the special method suggested by the system, she handed over the Thousand-Year Ice Lotus and several other prepared herbs to the system. While Xiao Jingchuan and Jiang Liushen were outside, Gu Liuli fed the system-prepared medicine to Jiang He.

A product from the system is bound to be of high quality!

In no time, Jiang He's face turned rosy, and he opened his eyes slightly, revealing a look of vigilance.

Hearing the commotion outside, Jiang Liushen pushed open the door and rushed in. "Father, you're awake!"

Jiang He was now staring intently at Gu Liuli. Jiang Liushen said, "Father, she's my sister!"

"Father!" Jiang Liushen rushed forward excitedly.

Jiang He slowly scanned his surroundings, and upon seeing Gu Liuli, Xiao Jingchuan, and Jiang Liushen, the wariness in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by a hint of relief. "What am I doing..."

Gu Liuli smiled and said, "Father, you were poisoned, but I just prepared an antidote for you, and you are now out of danger."

Jiang He nodded slightly and said weakly, "Thank you for your hard work, child."

Seeing Jiang He out of danger, Xiao Jingchuan finally felt a huge weight lifted from his heart. However, he immediately thought of Gu Liuli's injury and the numerous obstacles they encountered while searching for herbs, and his eyes turned cold again. "Your Majesty Jiang He, Liuli went through many hardships to save you. She not only fought fiercely against the guardian beast in the extreme cold, but was also attacked and injured by men in black. There must be a mastermind behind this, and we must not let them get away with it."

There seemed to be something unspeakable in Jiang He's eyes. In fact, although he was unconscious, he could still perceive some things in the outside world. This incident involved two groups of people, and he knew that the other group was not someone they could deal with.

"Children, let's just let this matter go, and don't investigate it any further!" Jiang He said earnestly.

Jiang Liushen was about to say something more when Jiang He interrupted him: "Except for this girl, all of you can leave!"

"My child, it is your father who has wronged you. You should have been born into a life of luxury, but instead you were treated poorly by the Gu family in Nanyang. It is your father's fault!" Jiang He touched Gu Liuli's head with his weathered hands, and the heartache in his eyes was genuine.
