Chapter 861: Trapped

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Luo Cheng had been mourning in the imperial mausoleum for seven days!

These seven days were very thrilling and full of vigilance.

Because if he wasnt careful, he would be schemed against and a.s.sa.s.sinated.

After seven days, the group was a little tired.

Mental exhaustion was the most tiring. If this continued, he wouldnt be able to continue at all.

Mr. Luo, we cant continue like this. We have to counterattack! Zi Zheng said angrily.

Luo Cheng thought of something and said, Lets continue to wait! When the time comes, we wont have to suffer here anymore!

By this time, his Third Brother should have found Mr. Zhennan already!

However, he didnt know what the situation was on Third Brothers side!

As long as Third Brother obtained Mr. Zhennans support, he wouldnt have to stay here anymore!

As soon as he finished speaking, a messenger pigeon flew into the imperial mausoleum and landed in Luo Chengs hand.

After Luo Cheng opened it, he revealed a worried look.

He knew that it was impossible for Li Xiaoran to wait for him in the cave in peace!

However, Li Xiaoran couldnt be blamed for this because what Li Xiaoran was going to do was really important.

Besides, he wasnt by her side, so it was too late to say anything now. He could only hope that everything would go smoothly for Li Xiaoran.

In the royal family, Prince Fu was furious now!

Why was killing Luo Cheng so difficult?

Could it be that Luo Cheng couldnt be killed? Or were his people too useless?!

Prince Fu was furious and pointed at his secret guard leader as he cursed.

At this moment, the current crown prince, Ling Wei, walked in.

Father, theres no need to get angry. Actually, we cant let anyone in yet! We can surround the imperial mausoleum and prevent anyone from sending food in. Lets see how long Luo Cheng can last!

Prince Fus eyes lit up.

Thats right. I was so angry that I didnt think of such a good idea! If no one sends anything in, they wont be able to last for more than a few days! Go, hurry up and do as the crown prince says! Prince Fu kicked the leader of the secret guards and scolded.

As expected, Luo Cheng and the others became trapped in the imperial mausoleum.

The messenger pigeon couldnt fly out or in. Luo Cheng and the others were completely trapped.

There were only two exits from the imperial mausoleum. Now, both of them were blocked by big rocks.

Once Luo Cheng and the others tried to dig out the stones, they would be attacked by the people outside.

All kinds of knockout medicine and poison would enter through the cracks.

Luo Cheng and the others had no choice but to think of another way.

Unfortunately, the imperial mausoleums layout was very complicated. Although Luo Cheng lived inside, he didnt know if there were any other ways out.

Seeing that the food in the imperial mausoleum was getting scarcer and scarcer and that there was less and less water, the group began to worry.

Zi Zheng thought of something and said anxiously, Why dont we dig a tunnel? Its better than being trapped here!

This is the imperial mausoleum. If digging tunnels was useful, we would have done it long ago! Luo Cheng shook his head as he rejected this suggestion. Besides, how much strength do we have to dig tunnels in our current state?

When Zi Zheng heard Luo Chengs words, he was furious and punched the wall of the imperial mausoleum.

At the same time, Li Xiaoran saw the five generals under the Eldest Princess in a thatched hut in the wilderness.

Speaking of which, it was a coincidence.

Zi Cheng heard that the five of them were meeting in this thatched hut.

Li Xiaoran simply took this opportunity to meet them together!

Who are you? Why are you here? One of the bearded generals looked warily at Li Xiaoran, who had suddenly appeared.

Dont you want to look for the Eldest Princess? What a coincidence. I happen to know where the Eldest Princess is! Li Xiaoran didnt answer the bearded mans words. Instead, she gave him a piece of important news.

As soon as she said this, the other four immediately drew their swords and walked over to surround Li Xiaoran and Zi Cheng.

Generals, dont be anxious. The Eldest Princess is still alive and well! However, Im here today to give you guys a way out!

What a joke. Youre a woman, so how can you point us in the right direction? How arrogant! The bearded man sneered.

Li Xiaoran stared at the bearded man with a meaningful gaze.

Li Xiaoran sneered and asked, Generals, dont be anxious. Let me finish speaking first! Do you really think that King Fu has stabilized his position? Or are you really willing to support an incompetent king and harm the government? Not to mention anything else, ever since King Fu took the throne, have you guys seen the things he has done? He tried to a.s.sa.s.sinate the Third Prince and the Seventh Prince, Luo Cheng, but in the end, the two of them werent eliminated! Arent you guys afraid that theyll come back to deal with you guys?!

Stop sowing discord here! Youre a woman, so what do you know?! The bearded man slapped the stone table and pointed at Li Xiaoran as he scolded loudly.

Li Xiaoran ignored him. Instead, she continued,

I believe theres no need for a woman like me to teach everyone this logic!

Generals, why dont you think about it carefully? Back then, you only thought that you were serving the late emperor. Unexpectedly, you were actually used by the Eldest Princess to kill the late emperor and the princes and were forced to bear the infamy! Even if you guys dont dare to say anything on the surface because of reputation, you should know very well how others think of you!

Today, you have military power, so no one dares to resist! Tomorrow, what youre forced to do will be used by King Fu as a reason to kill you guys! If you dont believe me, why dont you see the current situation of the Third Prince, Ling Heng, and Luo Cheng?! At that time, do you think your situation will be better than that of the Third Prince, Ling He, or Luo Cheng? Dont forget that your family and clansmen are all under King Fus watch! Li Xiaorans words. .h.i.t home.

Every point was what they were worried about now.

Therefore, the atmosphere in the thatched hut became tense.

Stop lying. Ill kill you discord sower first! The bearded man suddenly stood up and stabbed at Li Xiaoran with his sword.

However, Zi Cheng blocked this sword!
