Chapter 154 The Crown Prince's Disguise Falls Off
The moment they turned around, they were surrounded by layers of guards behind them.
Seeing this, Qu Lu pulled Ye Yuwu behind her and stood protectively beside her, while keeping her eyes fixed on the guards with swords.
Ye Yuwu had no idea what was happening. The scene was changing rapidly, and another group of people had arrived.
However, Ye Yuwu could sense that Qu Lu didn't want to hurt her; on the contrary, she was protecting her.
Before the two groups could make a move, the guards surrounding them suddenly parted to make way.
A familiar figure slowly emerged from the gap.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out that this person was actually the Grand Tutor.
The Grand Tutor strolled leisurely to the center of the encirclement, looking at Qu Lu and Ye Yuwu with a light smile.
"You've really lost your temper! I advise you not to put up any futile resistance. Just honestly confess your master, and you'll at least be able to leave with a whole corpse!"
Seeing this scene, Qu Lu realized that they had fallen into the Grand Tutor's trap.
No wonder there were no guards when she came in. She was too worried about Ye Yuwu's safety and forgot to think about this. This is a very bad sign.
However, she wasn't too nervous at the moment, since it was too late to regret what had been done.
Moreover, with the people around the Grand Tutor, they could easily break through and take Ye Yuwu away.
Ye Yuwu never expected that she would become the Grand Tutor's bait, and she also learned that Qu Lu was trying to rescue her from the prison.
She didn't know Qu Lu's true strength, but seeing that there were clearly twice as many guards as them, she was still very afraid that Qu Lu would risk her life and get injured.
So she took the initiative to stand up and said to Qu Lu, "You don't need to worry about me, just be careful!"
The Grand Tutor sneered and waved his hand at the guards, saying, "Make your move!"
At Tess's command, the guards drew their swords and began to fight. Qu Lu and the others were not to be outdone and fought back against them.
"Bring Ye Yuwu here first!" the Grand Tutor ordered the guards.
Upon receiving the order, the guards rushed towards Qu Lu's direction, because at that moment, Qu Lu was carefully protecting Ye Yuwu.
Knowing that the Grand Tutor would not allow Ye Yuwu to be harmed, she was still afraid that these people, with their swords and spears, might accidentally hurt the defenseless Ye Yuwu.
So I've always been very careful to protect her.
At this moment, a group of people came over, and Qu Lu could only wave the whip with one hand and grab her wrist with the other.
Ye Yuwu was afraid that she would hold Qu Lu back, so she wanted to find an opportunity to break free from Qu Lu's hand and run to the side to hide.
But for some reason, these guards weren't afraid of hurting Ye Yuwu.
Several times he almost managed to cut Ye Yuwu.
Grand Tutor Lian's pupils constricted slightly upon seeing this, his face turning cold. "Who gave you permission to hurt her!"
The guards, who had been so brave and fearless, suddenly slowed down their movements upon hearing the Grand Tutor's fury.
It's not that they acted this way; it's mainly because the Grand Tutor hadn't explained things clearly, so they thought that as long as they could capture Ye Yuwu, that would be enough.
That's why they attacked so recklessly, without any fear of hurting Ye Yuwu.
However, Qu Lu did not expect that the guards the Grand Tutor brought this time were not only all highly skilled in martial arts, but also numerous.
Even though they were Jingruo, one of the secret guards, they were no match for so many people rushing forward at once. For a time, no one could do anything to the other.
Just as the group was locked in a fierce and evenly matched battle, a clear voice suddenly came from outside.
"stop."
This voice!
Suddenly, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked in the direction of the sound. They saw a person dressed in black robes with exquisite patterns embroidered on the hem, which looked very valuable.
"Your Highness?!" The Grand Tutor frowned as he looked at the Crown Prince who walked in against the light.
Qi Jingyue walked from outside to the Grand Tutor.
At this moment, a faint smile graced his handsome face, but the smile did not reach any deeper meaning.
The Grand Tutor instantly understood something and shrewdly narrowed his eyes.
"Qingming?!"
Just as the atmosphere became extremely tense, Ye Yuwu, who was next to Qu Lu, naturally saw the figure in the dimly lit cell.
To her disbelief, he would appear in the cell.
And he even changed into men's clothing!
When Ye Yuwu heard the Grand Tutor call him "Your Highness" just now, he understood immediately.
I just don't know which noble person this prince is.
Qi Jingyue glanced at Ye Yuwu and saw that after Ye Yuwu called out his courtesy name, her lips tightened and her eyes became very wary of him.
He was clearly hurt by her gaze. Even though he felt uncomfortable, he didn't look at her again and instead turned his gaze to the Grand Tutor.
He knew that Ye Yuwu must be feeling very complicated right now, but he couldn't explain it to her at this time.
Of course, Ye Yuwu's exclamation was also heard by the sharp-eared Grand Tutor. The Grand Tutor's ears twitched, and he looked at the Crown Prince in front of him, hiding the probing look in his eyes.
"What? Your Highness, I have failed to greet you properly, that you would come to this dungeon." Faced with the Grand Tutor's cunning smile, the Crown Prince did not detect any flaws, and simply glanced at him calmly.
"Grand Tutor, there's no need for such words. Now that I'm here, you must have guessed that these people are my men. So, could you please remove these swords and blades?!" Qi Jingyue looked at Qu Lu and the others beside him. Qu Lu was still brandishing her whip in a defensive stance.
"Of course, but this old minister really didn't know they were His Highness the Crown Prince's men. I thought they were people who had broken into the prison." After saying this, the Grand Tutor gave a look to the guard beside him. After receiving his order, the guard waved his hand and had the men remove their swords.
The tense atmosphere instantly dissipated by more than half.
Qi Jingyue sneered inwardly.
"However, this old minister is curious about what makes this Manager Ye so special, that Your Highness has sent people to help him. Perhaps this Manager Ye has some extraordinary abilities."
Then the Grand Tutor added, "However, the matter of Manager Ye's plagiarism has not yet been investigated, so I'm afraid he won't be able to leave this cell today."
His Highness the Crown Prince naturally knew that the Grand Tutor intended to test him.
Ye Yuwu also heard what the Grand Tutor said at this moment, and stepped forward to ask, "May I ask the Grand Tutor, what did I plagiarize?"
As soon as Ye Yuwu said this, the Grand Tutor thought of the storybook on her desk, and his face instantly turned from white to black.
"Shopkeeper Ye, do you still remember that book in your study?"
The Grand Tutor practically spat out those words through gritted teeth. If Ye Yuwu had any sense of shame, she would have shut up after he said that, wouldn't have asked any more questions, and might have even tacitly accepted the plagiarism, never mentioning it again.
He was unaware that Ye Yuwu had completely misunderstood his implication.
"Can not remember."
