"Relax, beauty. Quickly go and find the second prince, don't waste anymore time!"

All of a sudden, all of the palace maids and eunuchs kneeled down towards her, begging her to leave immediately …

Cen Xue nodded, she hoped that the heavens would let her be selfish for once, and that the heavens would bless these kind-hearted children, allowing her to get through this trial.

Cen Xue was dressed in the clothes of a palace maid as she made her way to Chunyu Qian's palace. When Chunyu saw her appear in front of him, her eyes lit up. It seemed like she really wanted to roam the world with him.

"Big Brother Chunyu, I'm here, what should we do now?" Cen Xue followed his instructions. In the few days she had spent with him, she felt that he was a man she could trust.

Chunyu took out a set of eunuch's clothes and told her to get dressed immediately. He also packed everything he had prepared beforehand, and when they were out there, he could not afford to be short of money. After everything had gone according to his plan, he dismissed a few officials, told them that he was well, and insisted on going to the hunting grounds!

Cen Xue disguised herself as a small eunuch and led the horse to the Divine Martial Gate. Chunyu Qian sat on the big horse and said haughtily, "I'm going to the paddock to hunt with the king and royal brother. I'll have to trouble you to make way."

"Greetings to Second Prince. I wonder if Second Prince is aware of the path to the enclosure. Do you need me to send someone to lead you there?" The guard commander respectfully bowed to Chunyu, who was sitting on the horse, and asked. He scared Cen Xue so much that she lowered her head and did not dare look at him, afraid that he would recognise that she was a woman.

"There's no need to trouble yourself. This King found a little eunuch in the palace and got him to lead the way for This King. This King also wants to take a look at your folk customs!" Chunyu sat on the horse calmly, not showing what he was thinking.

"Open the door. Second Prince, please …"

The leader of the guards didn't ask any further questions. He only glanced at Cen Xue, who was dressed like a eunuch. He felt that she was very petite, probably a young eunuch who had just entered the palace.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Cen Xue's heart was extremely excited. As they walked step by step out of the palace gate, disappearing from the sight of the guards, Cen Xue didn't care about her excitement anymore. I'm free!

Chunyu quickly sealed her mouth, this careless woman actually shouted like this and dragged her into a back alley, reproaching her harshly, "Cen Xue, we're going to start escaping now, you have to be careful in the future, don't be as arrogant as before. If we were to be found out, we'll be in trouble."

"I... Big Brother Chunyu, I'm sorry, but I was too excited, so I couldn't help but … I promise I won't do such a stupid thing again! " Cen Xue pulled his arm and apologized softly.

"Sigh …" Let's not talk about all this first, we need to leave the capital first. In the future, you have to be more careful and listen to me, you can't just follow your personality, okay? " He put the hat on her head and reminded her again and again.

Cen Xue hurriedly nodded her head. After she smoothly exited the city gates, she started running in the direction of Heavenly Ye without stopping …

The hunting grounds had always belonged to the strong, but today, Helian Lie felt uneasy. His archery skills were not as good as before. Chunyu Jun felt that something was wrong with him, and came to his side and asked, "Your Majesty, is there something on your mind today? Is this archery method not accurate enough?"

The two of them had known each other since they were small, and they both knew each other's skills and background. Chunyu Jun had witnessed his failures several times today, and knew that his four bodyguards were not even as good as his.

"Brother, there are no outsiders here. Let me be honest with you. I feel like something has happened in the palace, so I just can't calm down!" Helian Shan gazed into the depths of the forest and spoke his mind.

The two of them seemed to have the same thought as they looked at each other. They suddenly pulled the reins and turned the horse around.

Helian Shan ordered the four guards to follow them back to the palace as soon as possible. The rest of them cleaned up the hunting grounds before returning.

He Lianlian instinctively rushed towards Wen Yuan Pavilion. Wen Qing was still preparing lunch as usual, as if nothing had happened. When she saw the king hurriedly walk in, she immediately kneeled down and said, "Your servant greets Your Majesty!"

"Where's your master? Why haven't I seen him? " Helian Shan looked around the room but did not see the crafty little darling. He looked at the dishes on the table and asked anxiously.

"To reply your majesty, the beauty was too tired last night, so she hasn't gotten up yet this morning. She's still in her room, and this servant has just finished preparing lunch. I'm going to summon the beauty to her feet!" Wen Qing lowered her head and answered carefully.

Looking at the location of the room, Helian Lie's uncomfortable feeling became more and more intense. He walked to the front of the room in large strides and forcefully pushed open the door.

Anger instantly crawled onto Helian Shan's face. Wen Qing was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and trembled. At this moment, Wen Xing ran in as well. When she saw the king in the room, she also knelt down.

"Men, capture all the people from Wen Yuan Pavilion and send them to the prison to await their release!" He actually had the guts to flee. Looking at the lowly maids in the room, he would find a way to have her obediently return.

Chunyu Jun sat in the palace. He couldn't find Chunyu's shadow anywhere. He was thinking about his tricks from this morning. It seemed like this brat had plotted to fool him.

Seeing that Chunyu Jun was the only one sitting quietly in his seat, he had already guessed seventy to eighty percent of it. It seemed like Bai Bingxuan's words were correct, and the only mistake was that he had made a wrong judgement, and that she had also mistrusted Chunyu Qian, that stinking brat, and that woman!

"Send troops to chase him, I will absolutely not cover up for that bastard of a younger brother. I only hope that you can punish him lightly on behalf of us brothers. I will return and report this to royal father truthfully. I will definitely apologize to you!" Chunyu Jun knew he was in the wrong, so he didn't say anything.

"There's no need to send out the army. I have a way to get them back. As for that kid, he'll be brought back for you to handle. I won't stop you if it's your own Dong Wu Country's problem." Helian Lie was trying to make things difficult for him. If the punishment was light, it would be looking down on Lou Lan. If the punishment was too severe, even the old king of the Eastern Wu Country would not be able to do anything.

"Alright, I will give you an explanation!" Although the two of them did not say anything, their hearts were already very clear. At the same time, words spread out from the palace, and the streets were covered with notices. It was precisely the two people who wanted to escape that had seen this news.

Cen Xue listened to Chun Yuqian all the way, and did not dare to randomly shout and reveal her whereabouts. They slept in the wilderness at night, and Cen Xue ate the roast chicken he roasted, sleeping with him back to back.

Looking at the starry night sky in the sky, Cen Xue couldn't sleep no matter what. Perhaps it was because she had finally regained her freedom and was too excited.

"Sister, why aren't you sleeping?" Along the way, they called each other siblings.

"It wasn't easy to escape, of course I want to take a look around." With him behind her, Cen Xue felt exceptionally at ease.

"Silly girl, go to sleep. We still need to hurry on our way tomorrow, we can't reach Dongwu until we've bypassed the Heavenly Princess. As long as we can return to the land of Dongwu, we can guarantee our safety." As long as he returned to Dong Wu, he would have more rights to protect Cen Xue. Even though he could not return to the palace, he was confident that he could stay in his own territory.

Cen Xue only replied with a quiet "En" as she looked up at the stars in the night sky with her watery eyes …

As if she had suddenly thought of something, Cen Xue pulled up her sleeves and extended her white arm in front of Chunyu Qian, "Brother Chunyu, look."

Chunyu Qian looked at the teeth marks on her arm and asked Cen Xue in surprise, "Were you bitten by a mountain?"

Cen Xue nodded, accepting his words.

"Big brother Chunyu, I have never been able to understand what's going on. Everyone in the palace said that they don't know, and even the palace maids and eunuchs beside me don't know what's going on? Actually, I think even if they knew, they wouldn't have the guts to tell me. " It wasn't that Cen Xue hadn't investigated this matter, but it was futile and she couldn't find any clues.

Chunyu Qian looked at the bite marks on her hand and quietly pondered …

"The cause of this matter was three years ago. I remember that when Lou Lan Nation was going to wage war against the Tuwa tribe, Helian Shan led his troops to the battlefield. After that, the battle ended very quickly. After that, I heard my royal brother say that he had fallen for Tewa's evil scheme, and as for what sort of evil scheme it was, to the point that he had to drink human blood every month. I don't know about that, but perhaps my royal brother and Yuwen Ta will know! " Thinking back to the past three years, at that time, he had only heard his eldest royal brother mention a few words when he was worried. It wasn't good for him to say too much about this sort of thing.

Cen Xue blinked her large eyes as she stared at him doubtfully. "In that case, there are many secrets hidden within. But who is this Yuwen Ta you mentioned earlier?"

Chunyu Qian adjusted his posture, closed his eyes, and answered, "Yuwen Tuo is the Great General of Lou Lan Country. A month ago, he set up a conspiracy against the tribe, and hurt many of Lou Lan's people at the border. He sent fifty thousand troops to suppress the border."

"Oh." It seemed like she really did not know a thing about this place.

"Little girl, go to sleep. We still have to hurry on our way." Chunyu Qian had already closed his eyes, but in this wilderness, he was always vigilant.

After walking for three days, Cen Xue felt that she had been enjoying herself by coming here. Even though they had been on the road the whole time and didn't have much time to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the journey, Cen Xue was satisfied with just a glance.

After three days of travel, they had eaten all the dry food on their bodies and had no choice but to go to the town to buy more. Although they were afraid that there would be troops chasing them, but they couldn't starve to death because of that, could they?

As soon as she entered the city, she saw notices posted all over the streets and alleys. Out of curiosity, she pulled Chun Yu along with her, but the content on the notice almost made her faint.

"Big brother Chunyu, what should we do …" What should I do... They want to kill everyone in Wen Yuan Pavilion, and then behead them in seven days! " Cen Xue's trembling voice was obviously choked with sobs. Chunyu humbly embraced her and found an inn in the town to prevent her from crying on the streets.

"Sister, you need to calm down. I think this must be Ambassador Helian Shan's plan, his goal is for us to go back and walk into a trap, so we cannot go back. Once we go back, not only will we not be free, we don't even know if we can keep our lives!" In the guest room of the inn, Chunyu Qian patiently analyzed the situation to her again and again. They finally managed to escape with great difficulty. If they returned at this critical time, they would be finished for the rest of their lives.
