Chapter 585 Li Caihong Ran Away

Chapter 585 Li Caihong Ran Away

"I don't know. But just run away from here…go anywhere but never come back here."

Li Rong had just said these words and turned around to pack a few more clothes and some jewels for her daughter when a maid came running to the courtyard. Without even entering the room, she shouted from outside and said

"My Lady, Madam…they are here to take My Lady."

Li Rong's eyes widened with surprise while Li Caihong looked the same. Her heart was filled with resentment for everyone.

Even for the maid who was shouting such words as if it was some joyous event. However, what Li Caihong didn't know was that it was indeed a joyous event for almost every servant that had been working in Li Manor for only a few years.

After all, she and her elder sister had tortured these servants enough for them to celebrate when they are leaving.

"Caihong…hurry!"

Li Rong said quickly and then hurriedly stuffed the bag that had clothes in Li Caihong's hands. After that, she took all the jewels she was wearing since the banquet and then stuffed it inside the same cloth bag.

Li Caihong herself couldn't understand what was going on and what she should do.

However, one thing she was sure of was she didn't wish to go to the monastery and become a nun.

Li Rong patted her daughter's cheek with tear-filled eyes and whispered

"Runaway to some faraway place and never come back here. Marry a good man, Caihong …who will cherish you."

Li Caihong couldn't help but hug her mother when she heard her words. Her mother was so nice to her even after whatever happened!

At this moment, she couldn't help but wish that only she would have never followed her sister's ways. The same sister for whom she did so many things was the reason behind all of her miseries in the present.

Li Caihong really regretted but the regret was sole because of her current situation. She never regretted trying to harm Li Rui.

In fact, she thought that her sister was a fool to get caught like this. If it had been her, then she would have managed everything wisely.

"We don't have much time."

Li Rong whispered as she pushed her daughter towards the window.

"Mother!"

Li Caihong gasped in shock when she realized what her mother was trying to do but Li Rong merely glanced at her and said

"We don't have any other choice, Caihong. You need to leave through the back door. The front door must be surrounded by the Imperial Guards."

Li Caihong could only do what her mother was saying. As she tried to jump out of her room through the window, she shed tears in helplessness.

"You need to go ahead on your own, Caihong."

Li Rong said softly behind her daughter when she was finally out of the room.

The back gate was not far away from Li Caihong's room but Li Rong still wished to accompany her. However, she also knew that she needs to go out and manage the guards for some time so that Li Caihong would get enough time to run away.

Li Caihong understood and nodded her head with tear-filled eyes.

She covered her face with the veil nicely and then walked in the back gate's direction without taking a single look at her mother.

Soon she was near the back gate that was being guarded by the soldiers. Li Caihong halted amidst her steps seeing this.

She knew that it wouldn't be easy to go out.

She looked around and soon saw a servant walking by. Without any hesitation, she picked a big stone and threw it toward the servant.

"Ahhh…"

The stone hit his forehead and he was bleeding heavily in no time.

The soldiers heard the scream and ran towards the servant. As they asked him what happened, Li Caihong took advantage of this opportunity and finally left Li Manor.

Hiding outside the Manor, she looked at it for a few moments.

Her resentment only increased inside her heart.

Towards Li Rui, towards Xi Ying, and towards her own sister.

However, Li Na was already inside the prison. The only people who deserved to be fallen now were Li Rui and Xi Ying.

And she promised herself that she would surely take her revenge if she ever got the chance in the future but that was what she thought.

It didn't take a long time for the news to spread that Li Caihong ran away from Li Manor.

In a shichen, the whole Imperial City knew that Li Caihong who was punished by the Emperor to become a nun ran away when the Imperial Guards went to Li Manor to send her to the monastery.

It was all because of the Guards who searched the whole Imperial City in Li Caihong's search. However, the whole afternoon passed they couldn't find anything.

In the end, they returned to the Imperial Palace to tell this to the Emperor.

Zhao Wang Lei only looked annoyed when he heard the news. He looked a lot distracted and irritated today so Eunuch Wang didn't dare to say anything.

When he saw his master's frown at this matter, he looked at the Imperial Guards and reproached them.

"His Majesty has many other important works to do. Did you even think before bringing such a trivial matter to His Majesty!"

The head of the Imperial Guards bowed their heads. He knew very well that Eunuch Wang was right but he dared to come here only because this matter involved Xi Clan.

The head of the Imperial Guards knew very well that it was Xi Ying who had decided this punishment for Third Lady Li so he was afraid that the Emperor will get angry when he will come to know that Li Caihong ran away because it would obviously make Prime Minister Xi angry.

However, Zhao Wang Lei didn't seem to care at all and why would he?

Li Caihong being alive or dead didn't concern him so he waved his hand and said to the head of the Imperial Guards.

"Go to Xi Manor and inform Prime Minister Xi about this."

The head of the Imperial Guards felt a chill running down his spine when he heard this. However, he couldn't refuse the Emperor's order so he bowed his head silently and then said respectfully

"This servant will obey Your Majesty."
