"Catch the assassin!" The wedding procession became even more chaotic, the guards seemed to have noticed Doggie and me, and a group of people were rushing towards the tea house. The commoners by the side of the road were also in a state of chaos. Fortunately, the imperial guards were in control of the city, otherwise, it would have been a great mess.

Doggie didn't expect that his second shot would be discovered, so he panicked for a moment. The two of us stood by the window in a daze, watching the guards who were pushing their way through the crowd and rushing towards us.

If we are punished with the crime of assassinating a princess, we will be sentenced to death without a doubt. Even if we can make them believe my identity, the Queen will not let us off easily if she finds out about it. My identity might be able to save my life, but the dog will definitely not be able to live.

Thinking to this point, my heart was filled with fear, but I didn't know how to respond. I saw the cat desperately shouting for her guards to not come over, but her voice was still too soft. No one would listen to her words.

Just as I was hesitating, the door to the room was suddenly pushed open. A white-robed young master came in, and when I saw the person's face, I was shocked. It was actually the King of Han, Yang Liang.

While Doggie and I were still stunned, before we even had the chance to speak, Yang Liang had already pulled on my sleeve and ran out. Instinctively, he was saving us.

We came down from the attic and went straight to the backyard. Since everyone was in the attic watching the princess get married, we ran all the way here without seeing a single person. There was no back door in the backyard, only a wall the height of a person. In an emergency, Yang Ke could no longer attend to etiquette. He crouched down and said:

"Quick, step on my shoulder."

I hesitated, but seeing his urging expression, I had no choice but to step on his shoulder and climb over the wall. There was an alley outside the wall. I measured the height of the alley with my eyes and jumped down without hesitation.

"Ouch!" Maybe I was used to living a comfortable life in the palace. I didn't expect that jumping off this wall that wasn't too high could actually twist my foot. I pinched my sore ankle and whined incessantly.

Yang Liang and Doggie quickly climbed over the wall. Seeing me squatting on the floor with a pained expression, Yang Liang knitted his brows slightly and angrily said,

"Who told you to jump off without permission? Can't you wait for me to come out and pick you up?"

I looked apologetically at Yang Liang. For a moment, I couldn't say anything due to the awkwardness. A trace of indescribable pity flashed in his eyes, but under my gaze, he quickly turned his head to look at the procession that was separating the two of them.

Just as I was about to stand up, I felt a sharp pain from my ankle and fell to the ground.

Doggie bent down to help me, and I saw that his tears were almost coming down, probably because he felt guilty for the trouble he had caused.

"Princess, I'll carry you." Seeing that I could not walk, the dog bent down, and I lay down on his back. The three of them hurried to the palace.

The noisy street of Chengen was getting farther and farther behind us. I grabbed the dog by the neck and looked back. The noisy crowd had already been suppressed, so when the Royal Princess came out, she naturally couldn't be affected by such a small disturbance. The beautiful car gradually drove away from my line of sight, until it became a small red dot.

This farewell from Lijun might be my entire life. At this time, I would never have imagined that one day, not only would Lijun and I meet again, we would even be together.

The palace is still quite a distance away from here, but Dog is already panting from exhaustion, his steps are getting slower and slower. After all, he is very thin, so carrying me on his back for so long is naturally a bit strenuous.

Yang Liang urged the dog to hurry up from time to time, but when he saw that the dog could no longer run, his heart was burning with anxiety.

"How about, you carry the princess on your back?" Yang Liang couldn't stand it anymore and asked me when the dog was having difficulty moving.

This is against the rules, if people were to find out, then we would both be forced to laugh. However, the situation is urgent, and the pursuers will find this place soon, so if we do not return to the palace soon, it will be even more troublesome.

Not to mention a princess, even a lady from a wealthy family would not dare to face such a situation. But the princess, who was not raised under strict palace rules, was now outside the palace, her mind racing as she lay on Yang Liang's back.

Yang Liang was a head taller than the dog, and his shoulders were very broad. He leaned on his back and immediately revealed my weakness. When he ran, his footsteps were much steadier than the dog's.

The three of us ran to the secret passage of the Peach Blossom Garden. Yang Liang was very familiar with this secret passage. Very quickly, we passed through the palace walls and arrived at the inside of the Peach Blossom Garden.

Yang Liang placed me under the peach tree. Perhaps he was tired from running, but his face had a faint blush, and he was slightly gasping for breath. Doggie was so scared that he felt tired and collapsed on the ground.

"King Han, thank you for your help." Now that we are safe, a big stone in my heart fell to the ground, I am very grateful to Yang Liang.

Yang Liang ignored my gratitude. He took off the jade pendant that was attached to his body and handed it to the dog:

"Go to Gu's cold spring to get a blood circulation jade bone paste. Tell A'he to leave the palace to inquire about the situation outside."

The dog didn't dare to be slow. Although it was extremely tired, it immediately got up and ran towards the Cool Breeze Temple.

Yang Liang already had a family outside the palace, but he was not married yet, and he had to study in the palace, so he often stayed in the palace. Because he liked peace and quiet, the empress had given him the cave as a sleeping chamber.

Seeing the dog walk away, Yang Liang sat on the floor and shared my gaze.

"When there is no one else, can Princess not call me Ah Liang?"

His eyes were extremely similar to Yang Guang's, both were clear, but his eyes were less profound and more innocent than Yang Guang's.

I nodded slightly and said smilingly,

"Ling, when there's no one else around, can you not call me Princess?"

Yang Liang seemed to be extremely happy as he said with a smile,

"Of course, Lil ''er."

At this moment, the peach blossoms were flourishing. Pink and tender peach blossoms were embedded in the branches, and a few of the branches had already been bent by the flourishing peach blossoms, drooping low. Leaning against a peach tree, I watched the breeze blow up the peach blossoms, lightly swaying them in front of us.

Yang looked at me. My face was a little hot, and to avoid embarrassment, I leaned over slightly. I reached out and pulled off a peach blossom, then put it between my nose and sniffed it.

The fragrance was refreshing, and I couldn't help but feel a little intoxicated.

"Little Ling'Er, you're so beautiful." Yang Liang's sincere praise made me blush even more. Lowering my head, I remained silent, only leaving a silhouette behind for him.

"Beautiful eyebrows are not to be found, can make the flowers shy in the peach forest. How about you give a painting to Si-er? " Yang Liang suddenly said.

This poem originally described the unparalleled beauty of Zhaojun. I didn't expect that Yang Liang would change this poem so much so that when it was used on me, my face turned even redder than a peach flower.

"If there's no success, I won't do it. I don't dare to work for the Han Dynasty." Yang Liang's painting had always been one of the best in the palace, but everyone knew that it was extremely difficult for ordinary people to request for his Mo Bao.

"How about you give me your scented sachet in exchange?" Yang Liang held a scented bag in his hand, smiling like the spring breeze.

"Eh? Why is it with you? " Surprised, I reached out my hand to touch my waist. The scented sachet was indeed gone. This scented sachet was made for me by my mother. It has been on my body for many years and it has never left my body.

Yang Liang smiled slyly and said:

"In the morning, after seeing Jun'er off, I returned to the pavilion to paint, only to see a young master sneakily walk past the door with a booklet in tow. I didn't expect to find this scented sachet in a secret passage and then follow him to Cheng'En Street."

So that's the case. I was surprised at how such a coincidence happened just now, but it just so happened that Yang Liang saved us at that time. So he had been following behind us all this time.

Initially, I wanted to blame him for secretly following us, but upon thinking that if it wasn't for him secretly following us, we definitely wouldn't have been able to return safely today, so I felt embarrassed and could only say:

"Forgive me for not giving it to you. This scented sachet was originally a legacy from my mother, but now, this is the only one." When I mentioned my mother, my heart hurt and my face turned sorrowful.

Yang Liang's brows constricted and he had an astonished expression.

"The Empress is still alive. Why would Little Sister say that?"

Yes, the Emperor is alive, but my mother has left me forever. Seeing Yang Liang's confusion, I sighed and said faintly,

"I was never raised in the palace, so Imperial Father and Mother didn't like me and abandoned me in the countryside. Only a year ago did I find out about my background, and the parents who raised me passed away three years ago."

As I spoke, my thoughts had already sunk into my memories. When my mother was here, every single needle and thread on my body had been personally sewn by her, afraid that I would be harmed in the slightest. At that time, I did not know how to cherish it.

After listening to me, Yang Qi felt even more pity for me. He passed the scented sachet back to me and said,

"Little Ling'Er, it's been hard on you. However, although the countryside is bitter, their free and easy life is enviable. It can be seen from how innocent and simple you are. This is something that cannot be seen in the palace. No wonder the Queen Mother dotes on you. "

I took the scented sachet and looked at it carefully. The silk threads of the scented sachet were too old to be broken, so my heart was moved even more. I didn't want to use other threads to pollute my mother's possessions, so I tore off a few strands of black hair from my head and firmly tied the threads of the scented sachet together.

The dog came back soon after. I applied the ointment, and felt my hot ankle instantly cool. In a moment, all the swelling and pain disappeared. It really was a top-quality jade bone ointment.
