Chapter 263 The Palace Maid's Revenge and Sudden Wealth (7)
Su Dingding acted quickly and pocketed all the silver notes.
The Third Prince waved his hand again, but there was still no response!
Was he stunned?
"Does your arm hurt, Third Prince?" Su Dingding looked at him with a grin. "Fine, then cut off your own arm, and I'll let her go!"
Without his arm, the Third Prince essentially gave up the throne.
After all, a disabled person is not qualified to compete for the throne.
"No!" Luo Yiran shook her head repeatedly. "Third Prince, I am the daughter of a disgraced official. Don't worry about me, you should leave!"
Su Dingding looked at the Third Prince defiantly; she didn't believe he would actually cut off his own arm.
The Third Prince remained calm. He had made arrangements before coming, so there shouldn't have been any mistakes!
It seems that the people who kidnapped Luo Yiran came prepared!
Otherwise, he wouldn't have fallen into that pit so inexplicably, wasting so much time.
He could give up ten million taels, but he was determined to have Luo Yiran and the country!
As the future emperor, he did not want to make a choice.
Su Dingding held a dagger to Luo Yiran's neck, "I'll count to three, and she'll be the one who dies. One, two..."
Luo Yiran closed her eyes, preparing herself to die again.
Just then, the Third Prince plunged a dagger into his own chest, and blood flowed down the blade.
"I want an arm, no other organs count!" Su Dingding shouted.
"I'll give you my life!" the Third Prince said, then collapsed to the ground.
"Third Prince!"
Luo Yiran struggled desperately, crying her heart out.
Su Dingding had no idea how many times she had rolled her eyes.
Fake death!
How could the Third Prince even think of that? How deep would that plunge in? Does he think she's a complete idiot?
However, Su Dingding, who was just playing along, still went over and kicked the Third Prince.
As expected, the Third Prince suddenly opened his eyes and stabbed at Su Dingding with a dagger.
Su Dingding quickly dodged the Third Prince's attack, kicked the dagger out of his hand, and then stomped on him.
"Third Prince!"
Luo Yiran was surprised to find that the Third Prince was still alive, but when she saw her being trampled underfoot by the kidnappers again, her heart sank into her throat.
"Let him go, then kill me!"
The Third Prince clenched his fist tightly, but unfortunately he was all alone and helpless!
Although Su Dingding's letter instructed him to come alone with ten million taels of silver to rescue people, he secretly arranged to bring many people with him. Despite having victory in his grasp, his men seemed to be dead, making no move whatsoever!
Could today be his death day?
First it was the Fourth Prince, then it was him. Who exactly is behind all this?
The Third Prince desperately raised his head and looked at Luo Yiran.
He once harbored great ambitions, wanting to become emperor and make Luo Yiran his empress, the most noble woman in the world.
It seems he has broken his promise.
The two were gazing at each other tenderly, and Su Dingding could barely keep her eyes open.
This is absolutely incredibly boring!
With a kick that knocked the Third Prince unconscious, Su Dingding took her silver notes, laughed heartily, and strode away.
Before leaving, she glanced back at the dilapidated temple and tossed a lighter onto the hay.
In the firelight, Luo Yiran called out loudly for the Third Prince. She struggled to crawl to him and cried uncontrollably.
Picking up the dagger from the ground, Luo Yiran desperately cut the ropes binding her.
Even when her wrists were cut and bleeding, she didn't feel any pain.
She then cut the rope around his ankles, gritted her teeth, and tried to drag the Third Prince out of the dilapidated temple.
But she had no strength left, and the Third Prince did not move an inch.
"Third Prince, please wake up..." Luo Yiran coughed, choked by the fumes.
Gangzi sat on the roof beam, sniffing. At this critical moment of life and death, true love was being tested.
It transformed into a large poisonous insect and bit the Third Prince's leg hard.
"what!"
The Third Prince exclaimed in surprise and came to his senses.
Seeing his beloved woman and the raging fire, he disregarded his physical pain and, with Luo Yiran's help, escaped from the dilapidated temple.
Gangzi was quite gratified; he had accumulated great merit once again.
After this incident, the relationship between the Third Prince and Luo Yiran became even closer.
During the time that the Third Prince was recovering from his injuries, Luo Yiran took care of him without leaving his side.
At the same time, the Third Prince also secretly began to send people to investigate the case of Luo Yiran's father.
Su Dingding returned to the restaurant and continued to work as its manager. Her happiest time of day was counting the money and settling accounts after closing at night.
Just a few days later, the Third Prince sent someone to invite her to his residence to cook.
[Host, this is a trap!] Gangzi warned.
Su Dingding didn't care and went over with the kitchen knife.
A table full of delicious dishes, all with perfect color, aroma, and taste.
The Third Prince even specially asked Su Dingding to dine with him.
Su Dingding didn't stand on ceremony and sat down to take a bite of each dish. "Are you afraid I'll poison you?"
"Are you Chunying?" the Third Prince suddenly asked.
"Yes, I am Chunying."
The Third Prince was taken aback; he hadn't expected her to admit it.
The reason he summoned Su Dingding today is because he suspects that Luo Yiran was the one who kidnapped her!
Although she changed her appearance, she did not change her body. The Third Prince had physical contact with her and suspected that she was a woman. Also, the kidnapper and the restaurant owner both had a mole in the same spot on their necks!
Where were you the night we went to the restaurant?
Su Dingding laughed, "Third Prince, you really have a bad memory. Didn't I kidnap Luo Yiran that night?"
uh~
The Third Prince was stunned. He was taken aback by the quick admission and didn't know how to respond.
"You really forgot?" Su Dingding reminded him, "I also kissed Luo Yiran, her little face is so tender, did you kiss her?"
"You? I..." The Third Prince blushed with embarrassment.
He hasn't kissed her yet.
"I've put in a lot of effort, and I'm deeply grateful to the Third Prince. I'll gladly accept the ten million taels of silver. You two should live happily ever after..."
"Shut up!" The Third Prince suddenly realized that the person in front of him was the kidnapper who had kidnapped Luo Yiran and almost killed him and Luo Yiran!
"What? You don't want to marry Luo Yiran?" Su Dingding slammed his hand on the table and stood up. "That girl was willing to die for you, and you actually look down on her because she's the daughter of a disgraced official?"
Luo Yiran walked in, and although she didn't hear anything else, she happened to hear these last few sentences.
She stopped in her tracks, turned around, and walked away.
"Yi Ran!" The Third Prince was about to give chase.
"Stop right there!" Su Dingding grabbed him. "You'd better make things clear, or you'll cause me trouble later."
"You've already admitted it, what else is there to say?" the Third Prince asked anxiously.
“I helped you get rid of the Fourth Prince, so ten million taels of silver isn’t much, is it? You two had a fight, and I went to great lengths to reconcile you. Shouldn’t you give me some more money?” Su Dingding blinked.
The Third Prince stared at Su Dingding in disbelief, "Say that again?"
"What? Trying to renege on your promise!" Su Dingding grabbed the Third Prince and wouldn't let go. "Without me, could you have won the beauty's heart so quickly?"
"Your kiss with Yi Ran was also planned?" the Third Prince suddenly asked.
Su Dingding was taken aback. The way she thought about love was truly unique. "Then I'll kiss you back, and we'll be even, okay?"
Without waiting for a reply, Su Dingding took a bite.
As luck would have it, Luo Yiran, who had returned unwilling to give up, bumped into them again!
