Chapter 859: Go Missing Together

Everything was progressing according to the plan, and they were getting closer and closer to their goal.
It was a wild fruit tree growing on the edge of the cliff, full of fruits.
The monks pulled each other to pluck them.
Wei Ling looked at Su Xiaoling and reached out to her. “Hold me. I’ll go pick more.”
Su Xiaoling looked at the monks pulling each other. Wei Ling must have seen the monks doing this. Although it was a little steep, it was fine to be careful.
Wei Ling didn’t want her to go either. Su Xiaoling reached out and Wei Ling grabbed it tightly. She didn’t say anything else and slowly walked down.
The maidservants also followed carefully behind.
When they reached the tree, Wei Ling began to pluck. She said, “We’ll pick these ourselves and bring them back. What I picked is mine. After I pluck them, you can pick some yourself.”
Su Xiaolinz nodded. She could feel that the cold wind was a little strong.
Below this should be a cliff.
Su Xiaoling guessed that if Wei Ling wanted to do something to her, this was the only chance.
After Wei Ling picked a basket, she said to Su Xiaoling, “It’s your turn to pick it. ”
Su Xiaoling looked at the fruits. She was not suspicious. She started to pick them.
Her basket was also full.
The monks were already preparing to go up. Their faces were filled with joy and they were saying words of gratitude.
What was left on the branches were for the living beings in the mountain.
They wouldn’t come back for it.
As it was relatively steep, she was naturally exceptionally careful when she went up. Su Xiaoling walked behind Wei Ling. She could feel Wei Ling pulling her very tightly.
However, just as she was about to pass this dangerous road, Wei Ling slipped. She subconsciously grabbed the maidservant’s clothes in front of her. She couldn’t stand straight and kicked Su Xiaoling. Su Xiaoling also lost her balance and fell back..
There was a strong wind in her ears. In just a few seconds, she thought a lot, but when she saw Wei Ling rolling down with her, she was also shocked. Su Xiaoling felt relieved.
This was an accident.
Su Xiaoling subconsciously waved her arms to grab onto something.
Her body fell heavily onto the dense trees. She felt her vision go black and she fainted.
Wei Ling woke up in intense pain.
She wanted to take the risk, but she never expected that in that panic, she would use so much strength. The maidservant’s clothes were torn apart. She was like a ball as she rolled down the cliff with Su Xiaoling.
She looked at the dense trees. There was not much light coming in. It was almost dark.
For a moment, she didn’t know if she should thank the denseness of the tree for saving her life or be vexed that her plan had failed. She wasn’t dead at such an old age, and Su Xiaoling definitely wasn’t dead either. If Su Xiaoling wasn’t lucky, she wouldn’t have become the Crown Prince Consort.
She wanted to prop herself up, but just as she moved her upper body, she felt a sharp pain in her waist. Her expression changed. Her hands trembled as she touched her legs and pressed hard. She couldn’t feel anything. She couldn’t feel anything at all.
Wei Ling’s heart was instantly filled with fear.
How was she going to live without legs?
Instantly, she was so angry that she ignored everything. She gritted her teeth and cursed. As she cursed, she cried.
Su Xiaoling sighed not far away. She took back her previous guess. Wei Ling did it on purpose.
Wei Ling suddenly cursed.
Su Xiaoling felt that her internal organs were in pain. She trembled and took out the divine medicine bottle from her pocket. She only felt better after eating two pills.
She moved her limbs to make sure that she could move them freely.
This was good news. Apart from some pain in her body, she was not seriously injured.
There were many fruits around her, but they were all spoiled. Su Xiaoling touched a few and ate them. She listened to Wei Ling curse and didn’t say anything.
After Wei Ling cursed, she vented her emotions and gradually calmed down.
She began to call for Su Xiaoling, “Su Xiaoling, Su Xiaoling, where are you…”
Wei Ling didn’t want to die. She was even more afraid that she would die here. She was the empress of a country. How could she die in such an embarrassing manner?
Since she wasn’t dead. Su Xiaoling must be alive too. Wei Ling began to call Su Xiaoling crazily.
However, after shouting for a long time, there was no response. She began to guess if Su Xiaoling had quietly left.
Or perhaps she was really unlucky and had fallen to her death.
Wei Ling was in despair. At this moment, she felt afraid. She couldn’t move. When it was dark and wild beasts appeared, she would definitely be eaten. Just thinking about it made her despair. Wei Ling cried.
“Mother, stop crying. Don’t attract the beasts.”
Su Xiaoling listened to Wei Ling’s cries and felt a little helpless. Wei Ling was completely unconscious. She didn’t know that it was wrong for her to shout like this.
Wei Ling wanted to harm her. Wei Ling was the one who caused all of this. Su Xiaoling actually wanted to leave her behind.
She could have done that, but in the end, she couldn’t do it.
She did not want the evil of others to taint the kindness in her heart.
Therefore, she reminded Wei Ling.
The moment Su Xiaoling spoke, Wei Ling stopped crying when she heard her voice.
Wei Ling was vexed and angry. How long had Su Xiaoling been awake? What was she up to? She had been watching her make a fool of herself in the dark!
But after calming down, she closed her eyes and stopped making sounds.
Su Xiaoling said again, “Mother, look around. Are there any crushed fruits? If there are, pick them up and eat them. In this desolate mountain and forest, hunger will also make people quickly decline. Mother, I heard what you just said. I can’t be bothered to be hypocritical with you. If you’re unwilling to listen to me, then let’s split up and find our own way out.”
“Mother looks down on me, but to be honest, I also look down on you. You keep saying that it’s for the sake of the children, but you’re only doing this for yourself.”
Su Xiaoling said calmly. She didn’t care how Wei Ling felt when she heard this. She wasn’t in the mood to guess.
Anyway, since she had already said so much, Wei Ling could listen if she wanted to. It was fine if she didn’t want to listen. Didn’t she also want to harm her?
How could there be such a good thing as wanting to live and be in a high position?
It was impossible for them to become a harmonious mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, so they didn’t have to care about becoming enemies.
Su Xiaoling stopped talking and ate the crushed fruits silently.
This kind of wild fruit had thick skin, juicy skin, and a sour taste, but this was enough.
Wei Ling was silent. She did not answer Su Xiaoling. She took a few deep breaths and gritted her teeth. She turned around and looked around her. There were crushed fruits. She reached out with trembling hands to take them and put them into her mouth.
Even in such a situation, she was unwilling to die here in embarrassment. If she wanted to live and escape, she could only rely on Su Xiaoling now.
Su Xiaoling heard what she said. Wei Ling didn’t know how much tolerance Su Xiaoling had for her, so she didn’t dare to test her anymore. After eating some wild fruits, she also felt much better. However, when she looked at the sky, she was still worried.. If Su Xiaoling saw her like this later, would she still save her?
