And how was Ming Chen supposed to know that it was Yue Yu who was the mastermind behind the scenes that had caused this change?

    This idea was also provided by Yue Yu.

    Yue Yu had made plans for him to gain Xue Lu''s favor until his engagement and marriage to her; therefore, he was not at all guarded against such a deep-hearted man.

    Yue Yu''s thoughts were different.

    If it were as His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, Ming Chen, had planned before to send out two hooligans to bother Xue Lu, this would not make Yue Ran give up her affection for Ming Chen at all.

    However, if it were a choice between life and death, between choosing Yue Ran or Xue Lu to live or die, then the love Yue Ran had for Ming Chen would completely die the moment he resolutely chose Xue Lu.

    What a thrilling and touching love story between the daughter of the Grand Tutor and the crown prince of the current dynasty!

    Yue Yu did not want to show up in such a scene; he could only hide in the dark. If he were there, it would be impossible for Yue Ran to give up on her love.

    Therefore, he only decided to notify two men, Ming Chen and Xia Zhan, of the danger both noble young women were facing. As for Ming Ze, the youngest prince of the current dynasty, he would be dealt with by Yue Yu in the future.

    Yue Yu did not want to notify Ming Ze right now because Ming Ze would most definitely ruin his plans by taking crazy and unpredictable actions.

    One cannot use a normal brain to predict Ming Ze''s next moves.

    Ming Ze is a complete mad dog, a lunatic. Can a normal person really guess a lunatic''s thoughts?

    And the only person who could control this mad dog and put him on a leash is Yue Ran. Not even the emperor, Ming Ze''s father, could control him as well as Yue Ran does.

    In the present, Yue Yu can only solve Ming Chen and Xia Zhan once and for all.

    Just thinking about the absence of a strong love rival and a potential love rival competing with him for Yue Ran in the future made Yue Yu feel very happy.

    With such joy, Yue Yu''s men helped guide the bandit''s escape.

    Everything is under his control.

    All the chess pieces were in place.

    Nothing, not a chess piece, could ruin his plans.

    Five bandits were chased to the edge of the cliff on the mountain, and they seemed to have come to a dead end. There was nowhere to go.

    The bandit, who had held Yue Ran tightly in his arms with her back against his strong chest, gently rubbed against her sensitive waist in an area where no one could see. sea??h thё Novёl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    Yue Ran is quite sensitive to smells, so when the scent of the man''s body floated into her nose, she could recognize who this man was. This was also the reason why Yue Ran did not fight or make trouble along the way.

    This man is none other than the youngest prince, Ming Ze.

    Ming Chen, Xia Zhan, and the reinforcements they brought were still quite a distance away.

    Ming Ze, who was masked, said in a hoarse voice, "One is the bright and beautiful daughter of the Prime Minister''s Mansion, while the other is the daughter of the Grand Tutor. I wonder how much wealth could be exchanged for two beauties, especially the one in my arms."

    Yue Ran''s eyes twitched.

    What was Ming Ze doing? What kind of rogue words was he using? Where did he even learn such a thing?

    Xue Lu gritted her teeth in anger.

    Yue Yu was so kind to Yue Ran; Ming Ze was obviously in love with Yue Ran; Xia Zhan was bewitched by Yue Ran; His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, Ming Chen, was made strange because of Yue Ran; and now even the bandit who was threatening their lives was seduced by Yue Ran.

    Why is it all about Yue Ran? What was Yue Ran so good at?

    Xue Lu''s face changed drastically; her eyes were cold as she asked, "Who are you?"

    "Who am I?" Ming Ze asked with a chuckle. "If you really want to know who I am, then you would not be able to survive today. Young lady, are you really sure that you want to know my identity?"

    Xue Lu instantly shut her mouth.

    She still did not want to die.

    "Um, the young lady is still quite smart," Ming Ze said with a nod.

    The wind on the cliff was strong, and Yue Ran''s hair fluttered into the air. Her long and naturally curled eyelashes trembled with the wind.

    Ming Ze squeezed Yue Ran''s delicate face and said in a teasing tone, "Whoever has such a flamboyant beauty must be very lucky."

    Regardless of the presence of Xue Lu and the other bandits, Ming Ze gently pinched Yue Ran''s chin and kissed her lips.

    It was a lingering peck on the girl''s bright red lips.

    Full of his deep love and affection.

    "If you are willing to follow me, I can let you go today," Ming Ze said hoarsely.

    Yue Ran turned her head and pursed her lips. She had the attitude of not wanting to talk to the man.

    Xue Lu''s face turned ugly. She could no longer maintain her icy-cold goddess demeanor.

    "You vixen!"

    A female voice shrieked aloud, her tone full of unhappiness, disgust, and anger.

    Yue Ran shifted her gaze to the source of the voice.

    Oh, is this not the female protagonist''s personal maid named Li or something? Li Li? Li You? Li Shi? Yue Ran was not sure of the maid''s name. Anyway, why was she here? Why was she still alive?

    Yue Ran thought that she was dead long ago. The reason why Yue Ran was not aware of the maid''s existence was because such a cannon fodder character''s presence was just too low.

    With such a loud voice, naturally, Ming Ze, who had excellent hearing, could hear the maid''s words clearly. He looked at one of the bandits in charge of the maid in displeasure and said, "You should clearly know how to deal with such a broken-mouthed slave. Do you still need me to teach you how to deal with these kinds of things?"

    The bandit shuddered and immediately pinched the maid''s cheeks with his left hand. His right hand, which was free, moved very quickly. With a flash of light from the knife in his hand, the maid''s mouth was full of blood.

    "Li Ya!" Xue Lu exclaimed in horror and shock.

    Oh, so the maid''s name is Li Ya. Yue Ran noted this in her mind.

    Li Ya was screaming in tears as the blood kept spilling out of her open mouth.

    The bandit in charge of Li Ya had cut off her tongue with a single slash of a knife.

    Ming Ze: Two words, very happy.

    Yue Ran: How ugly. There was no aesthetic in such a punishment; it was not pleasing to her eyes.

    Ruan Ruan: That maid deserved it; who told her to scold my Master!

    Acting according to the original body''s character, Yue Ran looked at Ming Ze in horror.

    Where has Yue Ran, a noble young lady of the Prime Minister''s Mansion who was kept away from danger in a cage, ever seen such bloody cruelty?

    Ming Ze let out a muffled laugh when he saw the girl''s reaction. He leaned his head down to place a kiss on the top of her head and whispered in her ear, "Are you scared?"

    Yue Ran nodded blankly.

    "What are you afraid of?" Ming Ze said it in a doting tone. "If I were to scare anyone, I would never scare you, and if I were to hurt anyone, I would never hurt you." He raised a hand to place a strand of silky, flying hair on the back of Yue Ran''s ear. "To me, Ran Ran will always be the most important person in my heart, so what is Ran Ran afraid of?"

    On one side was Li Ya, who continued roaring like a female ghost rising from hell, and on the other side was Ming Ze, who kept bewitching her with sweet words and a kind face, hiding evil in his heart.

    Yue Ran sneered in her heart.

    So why did Ming Ze betray the original body in the first place? Why did Ming Ze personally push the original body into hell? Why did Ming Ze like Xue Lu in the end?

    None of the four men were pardonable.

    "Tsk!" Ming Ze made a sound of disapproval. "Have they not arrived yet?"

    Ming Ze felt extremely dissatisfied.

    Those men were extremely unworthy of Yue Ran. If this were a real kidnapping case with Yue Ran as the hostage, Yue Ran''s body may already have been cold because of their incompetence! However, with him here, nothing would happen to his beloved. At worst, if that scenario were to happen, then he and Yue Ran could just die together. This was because he did not want to live in a world without his beloved.

    The other men are all so useless!

    Ming Ze happily scorned them in his heart, secretly moved by his own self-devotion.

    He and Yue Ran were the only true natural pairing in the world.

    He and Yue Ran were meant to be together.

    Yue Ran: Sure.

    Ruan Ruan: Sure.
