Changsheng: My qualifications improve a little every day

The princess heard this and pondered in her heart.

She realized that perhaps she could use this information as a cover to bring Fang Yue into the palace to heal his injuries. After all, the most dangerous place is often the safest.

So she decided to take a risk.

The princess turned to look at Fang Yue and said in a low voice, "Fang Yue, we may have been targeted by the imperial master. We are not safe in the city."

Fang Yue frowned slightly and responded: "What the princess said is very true. According to your opinion, what should we do?"

The princess' eyes were firm as she continued, "There is another safe place, that is the Imperial Palace! In addition, there are many medicinal herbs and rare treasures in the palace that are needed for healing, which will be of great benefit to your recovery.

However, this move is extremely risky and requires extreme caution. I am willing to personally bring you into the palace and use my identity as a cover. As long as we act carefully, we may be able to avoid the eyes and ears of the Imperial Master. "

When Fang Yue heard this, he felt a warm current in his heart, and at the same time he also felt a great sense of responsibility.

He knew very well that this move not only concerned his own safety, but might also implicate the eldest princess.

After a brief pause, he nodded firmly and said, "I will always remember the princess' kindness. Since the princess has made a plan, I will cooperate with her to ensure that nothing goes wrong."

Upon seeing this, the eldest princess curled up her lips into a barely perceptible smile, and secretly admired Fang Yue's courage and decisiveness.

She then took out a token from her sleeve, gently handed it to Fang Yue, and whispered:

"This is my private order. You can enter some forbidden areas of the palace. At midnight tonight, I will arrange for someone to meet you outside the palace gate. You need to change into this guard uniform and follow me into the palace. Remember, all actions must be under my command. Do not act rashly."

Fang Yue took the token, felt its heavy weight, and understood the importance of this trip even more clearly.

He nodded solemnly to show that he understood.

Night falls, the moon is dark and the wind is strong.

As planned, Fang Yue changed into a guard's attire and arrived at the agreed palace gate with the eldest princess.

With the eldest princess' clever arrangement, they successfully avoided the guards' inspection and sneaked into the depths of the palace.

As soon as they entered the palace, the eldest princess immediately took Fang Yue to a hidden palace, where the medicines and equipment needed for healing were already prepared.

The princess asked Fang Yue to sit down and began to treat his wound. Her movements were gentle and skillful, as if she had done it countless times. Fang Yue looked at the princess's focused expression and was filled with gratitude.

"Princess, you have taken the risk of bringing me into the palace. What will you do if something goes wrong?" Fang Yue asked worriedly.

The princess smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know what to do. The most important thing now is to recover from your injuries as soon as possible so that we can have enough strength to expose the conspiracy of the imperial teacher."

Under the careful care of the princess, Fang Yue's injuries gradually stabilized. However, they knew that they could not stay in the palace for long and had to find a chance to leave as soon as possible.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the door. The princess and Fang Yue were immediately alert. The princess signaled Fang Yue to hide, and she went to the door to check the situation.

The door was gently pushed open, and a palace maid walked in. The eldest princess breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "What's the matter?"

The maid said respectfully, "Princess, His Majesty invites you."

The princess thought to herself, "I don't know why His Majesty summoned me at this time. But she couldn't refuse, so she had to bite the bullet and go to see His Majesty."

The eldest princess told Fang Yue not to act rashly, and then followed the palace maid to the emperor's bedroom.

After seeing His Majesty, the Princess bowed and asked, "I wonder what is the important matter that Your Majesty has summoned me for?"

His Majesty looked at the eldest princess, his eyes full of confusion and worry. "I heard that your behavior has been a little strange recently. What happened?" His Majesty asked.

The princess was startled, but she quickly calmed down and said, "Your Majesty, I am just doing what I think is right. Please rest assured, I will not do anything that will harm the interests of the Great Chu."

His Majesty frowned and said, "I hope you can understand your identity and responsibilities. Don't let yourself be used by people with ulterior motives."

The princess knew that His Majesty was hinting that she should not have too much contact with Fang Yue, but she could not directly refute His Majesty. She could only say, "Your Majesty's teaching is a lesson that I will definitely remember in my heart."

His Majesty waved his hand and asked the princess to leave. The princess felt uneasy, wondering if His Majesty had noticed her plan. But she had no choice but to keep going.

After returning to the palace, the princess found Fang Yue anxiously waiting for her. She told Fang Yue about the emperor's summons, and Fang Yue also felt the seriousness of the matter.

"Princess, we must leave the palace as soon as possible, otherwise if we are discovered, the consequences will be disastrous." Fang Yue said.

The princess nodded slightly and said, "You are right, but it would be even more dangerous to leave rashly at this time. We need to wait for a suitable opportunity. Of course, everything is just our guess now, maybe this place has not been exposed yet!"

Fang Yue thought for a moment and said, "Princess, you are right, but don't worry too much. I will be able to fully recover in two days."

The princess nodded and said, "Okay, then we will wait here for two days. During these two days, we need to be more careful and cautious and not make any mistakes."

For the next two days, the eldest princess and Fang Yue remained vigilant at all times.

The eldest princess would occasionally go out to gather information and make sure their whereabouts were not discovered.

Fang Yue took the time to practice internal energy to heal his wounds and recover his strength as quickly as possible.

In another palace in the imperial palace, Yuan Tianding, the national master of Great Chu, was secretly discussing with the emperor.

The Imperial Master bowed slightly and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, I have been feeling that there seems to be some unusual movements in the palace these days. I am afraid that something unfavorable to Your Majesty is being secretly planned."

The emperor frowned, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes: "Did the Imperial Master find any clues?"

The Imperial Master shook his head: "There is no definite evidence yet, but I suspect someone has sneaked into the palace, and it may be related to Fang Yue from the Great Wei."

The emperor snorted coldly, "That Fang Yue has repeatedly ruined the good things of our Great Chu. If he really dares to sneak into the palace, I will tear him into pieces. Imperial Master, you must strengthen the guards in the palace and thoroughly investigate this matter."

The Imperial Master replied, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I have already sent more people to conduct secret searches throughout the palace. But if Fang Yue really has helpers, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find them."

The emperor pondered for a moment and said, "I always feel that the eldest princess has been acting a little strange recently. Imperial Master, can you send someone to keep an eye on the eldest princess's movements?"

A gleam of light flashed in the eyes of the Imperial Master: "Your Majesty is wise, I will arrange it right away. If the Princess is really in collusion with Fang Yue, then..."

The emperor waved his hand and interrupted the imperial teacher: "This matter must not be made public. If the eldest princess really does something wrong, I will deal with it myself. But before there is solid evidence, don't act rashly." The imperial teacher nodded in agreement, then withdrew to arrange personnel.

The emperor sat on the dragon throne with a gloomy face, secretly thinking about how to deal with this potential crisis.

After leaving the emperor's bedroom, the imperial teacher Yuan Tianding did not return directly to his own residence, but quietly came to a secret room in the palace where few people were.

This is where he conducts various secret experiments and divinations, and also where he hides important information and magical tools.

Inside the secret room, the flickering candlelight illuminated the gloomy and deep face of the Imperial Master.

He closed his eyes, formed seals with his hands, and began to perform an ancient divination technique, trying to capture the faint, almost imperceptible fluctuations in the air in order to find the traces of Fang Yue and the eldest princess.

As time went by, the wrinkles on the Imperial Master's face seemed to deepen, and his brows were furrowed. It was obvious that this divination was not going well.

But he did not give up. Instead, he changed to a more complicated spell. This time, he tried to track the location of the eldest princess and Fang Yue through the possible connection between them.

Finally, after a strong sensation, the national teacher suddenly opened his eyes, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

He seemed to have caught some important clues. Although they were not clear enough, they were enough to guide his next actions.

The Imperial Master stood up, walked to a corner of the secret room, and took out a black token from a hidden compartment.

The token exuded a mysterious aura, and was engraved with complex runes. The Imperial Master held the token tightly and whispered to himself, "Humph, no matter where you hide, you can't escape from my grasp."

He quickly left the secret room and summoned his most capable men, all of whom were masters who had undergone rigorous training and were loyal to the Imperial Master.

"Listen, I already have clues about them. Divide into several groups and search the palace carefully. If you find any suspicious people, report to me immediately." The national teacher ordered.

The subordinates responded in unison: "Yes, Master Imperial Master!"

They acted quickly, like a pack of hungry hounds, searching the palace for signs of prey.

At this time, the princess and Fang Yue did not know that they had been targeted by the imperial teacher. They were discussing their next move in a hidden palace.

"Fang Yue, we must find a way to leave the palace as soon as possible. The imperial master's men have already begun secretly searching the palace, and they are not far from here." The eldest princess said anxiously.

Fang Yue frowned, thought for a moment and said, "Princess, the situation is critical now. We can't hesitate any longer. We must act immediately and find a way to escape."

The princess nodded and said, "I remember there is an abandoned waterway in the palace. Maybe we can leave through there. But the situation in the waterway is complicated and there may be dangers."

Fang Yue said firmly: "Princess, now that things have come to this, we can only take a risk and give it a try. We have no other choice."

So they quickly packed up and prepared to head to the waterway. Before leaving, the princess carefully checked the surroundings again to make sure there were no clues that could expose their whereabouts.

They carefully shuttled through the palace, trying to avoid the imperial master's men. Every step they took was extremely careful, and their heartbeats could not help but speed up.

Finally, they found the entrance to the abandoned waterway, which was filled with a damp and decaying smell that made people feel depressed.

The princess took a deep breath and said, "Fang Yue, let's go in. Be careful."

Fang Yue clenched the sword in his hand and nodded. They stepped into the waterway and began their difficult escape.

The waterway was dark and damp, with mosses growing on the walls. They walked carefully, always alert to the movements around them.

They moved slowly forward in the waterway, their footsteps echoing in the narrow space, sounding particularly clear. The eldest princess leaned closely against Fang Yue, her heart filled with tension and anxiety.

"Fang Yue, we must be careful. We don't know if there will be any unexpected dangers here." The eldest princess said in a low voice.

Fang Yue nodded slightly, looking around vigilantly. "Don't worry, Princess. I will protect you."

Suddenly, there was a slight sound in front of them, as if something was swimming in the water. The princess and Fang Yue immediately stopped and stared ahead nervously.

Fang Yue held the sword tightly in his hand, ready to deal with any possible danger at any time. The eldest princess took out a night-shining pearl from her bosom, and the faint light illuminated the surrounding environment.

As they approached, the sound became clearer and clearer. Finally, they could see what was making the sound - a group of black rats moving through the water.

The princess breathed a sigh of relief, but the tension in her heart was not completely eliminated. As they continued to move forward, the waterway became narrower and narrower, and in some places they even had to turn sideways to pass through.

After a difficult journey, they seemed to hear the sound outside the waterway. The princess and Fang Yue were delighted and quickened their pace.

However, just as they were about to walk out of the waterway, they suddenly heard footsteps coming from behind. Their hearts tightened, knowing that the Imperial Master's men might have discovered their tracks.

"Princess, let's go!" Fang Yue whispered, pulling the eldest princess and rushing forward quickly.

They rushed out of the waterway and came to a remote garden, which was overgrown with weeds and looked like no one had taken care of it for a long time.

The princess and Fang Yue hid behind a thick bush, not daring to breathe. They heard the imperial master's men wandering around the waterway, seemingly looking for them.

"Will they find us?" the eldest princess asked nervously.

Fang Yue shook his head and said, "Let's not act rashly. Wait until they leave before we find a way to leave here."

Time passed minute by minute, and the imperial master's men searched the area for a long time but still could not find their hiding place.

Finally, the men seemed to have given up the search, and the footsteps faded away.

The eldest princess couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but she knew that they were not completely out of danger yet.

They must find a way to leave the palace as soon as possible, otherwise if they are discovered by the imperial master again, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Princess, I'll take you to a safe place first." Fang Yue said in a low voice.

The princess nodded slightly, her eyes showing both worry and determination. "Okay, Fang Yue, we must be careful."

Fang Yue carefully observed the surroundings, and after confirming that it was temporarily safe, he quickly rushed out of the palace with the eldest princess. (End of this chapter)
