Chapter 456 Return to Chapter
She knew very well that her father's action was out of consideration for the interests of the Great Chu, but she could not agree with such treacherous behavior.
Moreover, the threat from the demon world is still lurking nearby.
He was so treacherous and broke his promise, and even sent experts to surround and kill Fang Yue. It was simply insane.
How can you survive in this world if you are so unkind and unjust!
She decided to secretly rescue Fang Yue to make up for the mistakes made by Da Chu.
The eldest princess returned to her palace and quickly changed into simple casual clothes, hiding her identity as much as possible.
She brought some precious healing medicines, which she had saved up over the years.
She quietly left the palace. Relying on her familiarity with the surrounding environment, she chose a less traveled path and rushed in the direction where Fang Yue last disappeared.
The Princess of Great Chu traveled quickly all the way. The night became her best cover. The moonlight shone through the sparse clouds, casting mottled light and shadows on her path.
She was anxious about the other person's safety, but also determined to take action.
Along the way, she used the connections and secret channels she had built up in the palace over the years to quietly inquire about Fang Yue's news.
In front of a remote tea stall, the eldest princess saw an old man who used to work as a servant in the palace, and she hurried forward.
The princess asked softly, "Uncle Li, have you heard any news about Fang Yue?"
The old man looked at her in surprise and said in a low voice, "Princess, this is not easy to find out. The imperial master's spies are everywhere. But I heard that there seemed to be fighting in the Black Wind Ridge in the west. I wonder if it has anything to do with Fang Yue."
The princess frowned and said, "The Black Wind Ridge in the west? The terrain there is steep and dangerous. If Fang Yue is really chased there, the situation will be dangerous."
The old man sighed and said, "Princess, why are you doing this? His Majesty's order..."
The princess interrupted him and said, "Your Majesty, this is not right. I cannot watch the Great Chu fall into injustice. Uncle Li, do not tell anyone about what happened today."
The old man nodded and said, "Don't worry, Princess. I know the seriousness of this matter."
After bidding farewell to the old man, the princess quickened her pace and headed towards Black Wind Ridge. At the edge of a forest, she met a hunter.
The princess stopped the hunter and asked, "Brother, have you ever seen an injured man around here?"
The hunter scratched his head and said, "I seemed to see a figure going deep into the Black Wind Ridge. He looked injured and was limping."
The princess' heart tightened, and she asked, "Then did you see his appearance clearly?"
The hunter shook his head and said, "It was too dark, I couldn't see clearly, I just thought there seemed to be blood on his body."
After learning the news, the princess adjusted her direction and continued to move deeper into the Black Wind Ridge.
The night was as dark as ink. The sound of the wind in the mountains and forests and the howling of wild beasts in the distance intertwined into an eerie nocturne, but the eldest princess' heart was extremely firm.
She knew very well that this journey was fraught with danger, but for Fang Yue and the future of Da Chu, she was willing to take all risks.
As they went deeper, the princess found that the surrounding environment was becoming more and more desolate, and the road under her feet was becoming more and more rugged.
She had to be more careful not to get lost in the darkness.
Just then, she suddenly heard a faint sound coming from not far ahead, as if someone was whispering.
The eldest princess immediately became alert. She approached quietly and hid behind a huge rock.
I saw several men in black sitting around a fire, their faces looking eerie in the firelight.
The princess was startled, thinking that these people were most likely pursuers sent by the imperial teacher.
She held her breath and watched their movements quietly.
Suddenly, a man in black stood up and seemed ready to leave.
The eldest princess seized the opportunity, quickly jumped out from behind the boulder, and subdued him in the blink of an eye.
"Tell me! Are you sent by the imperial teacher? Where is Fang Yue?" The eldest princess' voice was as cold as ice, with unquestionable majesty.
The man in black was frightened out of his wits by the sudden attack. He said tremblingly:
"Lady, spare us! We are the Imperial Master's men, but Fang Yue... Fang Yue has been forced deep into the Black Wind Ridge by us, and we don't know where he is."
The eldest princess' eyes were as sharp as knives as she swept coldly over the men in black. She knew that these people would not easily reveal the truth.
So, she changed her strategy, with a hint of irresistible majesty in her voice: "If you want to live, take me to find Fang Yue. Otherwise, you will have only one fate."
The men in black looked at each other in bewilderment. Finally, under the coercion of the eldest princess, they had to lead the way and lead the eldest princess deeper into the Black Wind Ridge.
As they went deeper, the surrounding environment became increasingly harsh. The dense forests were replaced by barren rocks, and the air was filled with a depressing atmosphere.
But the eldest princess never stopped. She had only one thought in her mind - to find Fang Yue.
Led by the man in black, they bypassed several steep cliffs. Suddenly, the man in black stopped.
The princess asked vigilantly: "What's wrong? Why don't you leave?"
The man in black pointed to a dark valley ahead and said tremblingly: "We...we forced Fang Yue into there. The terrain inside is complicated and there is miasma. We dare not go in again."
The princess frowned, looking at the valley filled with strange atmosphere, and a bad feeling surged in her heart. Without any hesitation, she threw the man in black aside and resolutely walked towards the valley.
After entering the valley, the miasma began to spread. The princess took out a miasma-repelling pill from her bosom and held it in her mouth. She walked forward cautiously, looking around for Fang Yue's figure.
"Fang Yue! Fang Yue! Where are you?" the eldest princess shouted loudly.
Only her voice echoed in the valley, and there was no response from Fang Yue. She became more and more anxious, and her pace quickened.
In a low-lying area in the valley, she found some bloodstains and signs of fighting. She squatted down to check, thinking to herself: "Fang Yue should be nearby."
At this moment, she heard a faint groan coming from a crack in the stone next to her. She hurried over and saw Fang Yue, covered in blood, leaning weakly against the crack.
The princess' eyes moistened, and she whispered, "Fang Yue, I found you." Fang Yue opened his eyes with difficulty, and after seeing the princess, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "You... why are you here?"
The eldest princess did not answer. She hurriedly took out the healing medicine and began to treat Fang Yue's wounds.
Fang Yue said weakly: "This place is dangerous, you shouldn't have come."
The princess bandaged the wound and said, "I can't watch you die. Da Chu has done something wrong, and I want to make up for it."
Under the careful care of the princess, Fang Yue's injuries were temporarily stabilized. But they knew that it was still unsafe here and they had to leave as soon as possible.
The princess supported Fang Yue and started to walk out of the valley. However, just as they were about to walk out of the valley, they suddenly heard a noisy sound of footsteps.
"Oh no, the pursuers are coming." The eldest princess's face changed.
They hurriedly looked for a hiding place and hid behind a huge rock.
The pursuers were approaching quickly, and their footsteps echoed in the silent valley, sounding particularly harsh. The princess and Fang Yue clung to the rocks, not daring to breathe.
"Search! They must be nearby, don't miss any corner!" a leading man in black shouted loudly.
The pursuers began to search everywhere, their figures shuttled through the valley, getting closer and closer to where the princess and Fang Yue were hiding.
The princess' heartbeat quickened. She tightly grasped the healing medicine in her hand, ready to heal Fang Yue at the critical moment. At the same time, she looked around for a possible escape route.
However, there were only barren rocks and dense jungles all around, and there was no obvious way out. The princess knew that they had to outsmart them and not fight them head-on.
So, she whispered to Fang Yue: "Fang Yue, hold on, I will find a way to get you out of here."
Fang Yue nodded weakly, his eyes revealing his trust in the eldest princess.
Just then, the eldest princess suddenly thought of a plan.
She quietly took out a secret treasure from her bosom, which she had prepared for self-defense when she was in the palace.
She quietly took out a secret treasure from her bosom. It was a small and exquisite jade flute, with a faint luster on the surface, which seemed to contain some mysterious power. She got it from an old hermit doctor when she was in the palace. It was said that it could play a confusing melody and put people into a short illusion.
The princess brought the jade flute to her lips, took a deep breath, and began to play it softly. As the melodious flute sound echoed in the valley, the footsteps of the pursuers suddenly became chaotic and their expressions became confused.
"What's going on? Why do I suddenly feel dizzy?" said a pursuer staggeringly.
"Me too, everything around me feels so blurry..." another pursuer echoed.
Taking advantage of the opportunity when the pursuers were trapped in an illusion, the eldest princess supported Fang Yue and quickly rushed out from behind the rock.
They ran as fast as they could along a hidden path out of the valley.
Behind them, the pursuers tried to catch up, but due to the influence of the flute sound, their speed was obviously slowed down a lot, and some of them even lost their way.
Finally, under the leadership of the eldest princess, they successfully escaped from the valley and came to a relatively safe place.
The eldest princess helped Fang Yue sit on a large rock and began to further examine his wounds.
"Although your injuries have stabilized, you still need to find a doctor to treat you as soon as possible." The eldest princess said anxiously.
Fang Yue shook his head and smiled weakly: "As long as you are here, I am not afraid. Thank you, Princess, you saved me again."
A warm current surged in the princess' heart. She held Fang Yue's hand tightly and said firmly:
"Fang Yue, I won't let anyone hurt you again. We will return to Da Chu together, expose the conspiracy of the national teacher, and give you justice."
Fang Yue nodded, his eyes full of gratitude and trust. He knew that with the eldest princess by his side, he had nothing to fear.
The two men did not flee away from Da Chu, but did the opposite and resolutely headed towards the capital of the Da Chu Dynasty.
They know that this journey will be full of dangers and challenges, but only by facing the problems head-on can they completely resolve this crisis caused by betrayal.
The Princess and Fang Yue were cautious along the way, avoiding the main roads and possible pursuit routes, and choosing to travel through hidden paths and forests.
The princess used her familiarity with the terrain and the connections she had accumulated over the years to cleverly evade searches and pursuits time and time again.
During a night camp in the mountains, the princess said to Fang Yue: "Fang Yue, the purpose of our trip is not only to escape the pursuit, but also to expose the conspiracy of the state teacher and completely resolve the dispute between the two countries. Returning to Da Chu, although it is full of dangers, is our only choice."
Fang Yue looked at the princess with admiration in his eyes. He said, "Princess, I admire your righteousness and courage. But this trip to Da Chu will surely be a dangerous place. I cannot let you keep taking risks."
The princess shook her head and said, "Fang Yue, this is not only for you, but also for the people of Da Chu. What the Imperial Master has done has violated benevolence and righteousness. If it is not stopped, Da Chu will fall into an irreparable situation. Moreover, there is my father, and I cannot let him continue to make mistakes!"
Fang Yue was silent for a moment, then said, "Okay, since you have made up your mind, then let's go."
They rested in the mountains and forests for another day, and after recovering some of their strength, they continued on the road to the Great Chu Imperial City.
Along the way, they slept in the open air. Although the princess grew up in the palace, she had no complaints at this time. One day, they came to a small town. This town was not far from the Great Chu Imperial City, but it was also the area where the national teacher's power had infiltrated.
The princess and Fang Yue found a remote inn to stay in. In the inn, they heard some diners talking.
"I heard that the Imperial Master is planning something big recently, and it seems to be related to an important figure in the Wei Dynasty." A diner said in a low voice.
"Hmph, the power of the Imperial Preceptor is growing. I wonder what His Majesty is thinking." said another diner.
The eldest princess and Fang Yue looked at each other. They knew the importance of these discussions.
They decided to stay in the inn for another day to get more information. The eldest princess used her wit to chat with the innkeeper.
"Young man, I heard about the imperial teacher. Do you know anything about him?" The eldest princess asked with pretended curiosity.
The man looked around and whispered, "I heard that the Imperial Master has set up a trap in the Imperial City, waiting for someone from Wei to fall into it."
The eldest princess' heart tightened, and she subconsciously wondered if their whereabouts had been exposed.
Although the princess was a little flustered, she remained calm. She pretended to be calm and continued to ask the waiter:
"Oh? That's really scary. But who are these people from Wei? Why did the Imperial Master go to so much trouble?"
The man scratched his head and said, "I'm not sure about that, but I heard that he has some status in Wei and seems to be related to the situation between the two countries." (End of this chapter)
