She knew that although her father's move was out of consideration for Da Chu's interests, she could not agree with this treacherous behavior.

Moreover, the threat from the demon world is still looming.

To be so treacherous, to break promises, and to send masters to surround and kill Fang Yue is simply crazy.

How can one stand in the world with such unkindness and unrighteousness!

She decided to go secretly to rescue Fang Yue to make up for Da Chu's mistakes.

The eldest princess returned to her palace and quickly changed into plain clothes to hide her identity as much as possible.

She brought some precious healing elixirs with her, which she had accumulated in her daily life.

She quietly left the palace, relying on her familiarity with the surrounding environment, she chose a less traveled path and sped towards the direction where Fang Yue finally disappeared.

The eldest princess of Da Chu was traveling quickly, and the night became her best cover. The moonlight filtered through the sparse clouds, casting dappled light and shadow on her journey.

In her heart, she was worried about the other party's safety, and she was also determined to take action.

Along the way, she used the connections and secret channels she had established 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 had worked as a handyman in the palace, and she hurried forward.

The eldest princess asked softly: "Uncle Li, have you heard any news about Fang Yue?"

The old man glanced at her in surprise and lowered his voice and said, "Princess, it's not easy to find out. There are spies of the imperial master everywhere now. But I heard that there seemed to be fighting in Heifeng Ridge to the west. I don't know. It’s not about Fang Yue.”

The eldest princess frowned and said, "Heifeng Ridge in the west? The terrain there is steep. If Fang Yue is really chased there, the situation will be dangerous."

The old man sighed and said: "Princess, why are you doing this? Your Majesty's order..."

The eldest princess interrupted him: "Your Majesty's move is inappropriate. I can't just watch Da Chu fall into injustice. Uncle Li, don't tell others what happened today."

The old man nodded: "Princess, don't worry, I understand the importance."

After the eldest princess said goodbye to the old man, she quickened her pace and rushed towards Black Wind Ridge. At the edge of a forest, she met a hunter.

The eldest princess stopped Orion and asked, "Brother, have you ever seen an injured man near here?"

Orion scratched his head and said, "I seem to have seen a figure going deep into the Black Wind Ridge. It looked like he was injured and was walking with a limp."

The eldest princess' heart tightened and she asked: "Then can you see his appearance clearly?"

Orion shook his head and said, "It was too dark, so I couldn't see clearly. I just felt like there was blood on him."

After learning the news, the eldest princess adjusted her direction and continued heading towards the depths of Black Wind Ridge.

The night was dark, and the sound of wind in the mountains and forests intertwined with the howls of distant beasts to form a strange nocturne, but the heart of the eldest princess was extremely firm.

She knew that this trip was full of dangers, but for Fang Yue and Da Chu's future, she was willing to take all risks.

As she went deeper, the eldest princess found that the surrounding environment became more and more desolate, and the road under her feet became more and more rugged.

She had to be more careful not to get lost in the darkness.

At this moment, she suddenly heard a slight sound 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 the fire, their faces looking ghastly and terrifying under the firelight.

The eldest princess was frightened. These people were probably pursuers sent by the Imperial Guard.

She held her breath and quietly observed their movements.

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 restrained him with lightning speed.

"Tell me! Are you sent by the imperial master? Where is Fang Yue?" The eldest princess's voice was as cold as ice, with unquestionable majesty.

The man in black was frightened out of his wits by the sudden attack. He trembled and said:

"Xia Xia, spare your life! We are the subordinates of the national master, but Fang Yue... Fang Yue has been forced into the depths of Black Wind Ridge by us, and we don't know where he is."

The eldest princess's eyes were like daggers, and she glanced coldly at the men in black. She knew that these people would not reveal the truth easily.

So, she changed her strategy, with a hint of irresistible majesty in her voice: "If you want to survive, take me to Fang Yue. Otherwise, you will only have one fate."

The men in black looked at each other, and finally, under the coercion of the eldest princess, they had to lead the way, leading the eldest princess deeper into the Black Wind Ridge.

As they went deeper, the surrounding environment became more and more harsh, the dense woods were replaced by barren rocks, and a depressing atmosphere filled the air.

But the eldest princess never stopped. She had only one thought in her mind - to find Fang Yue.

Led by the men in black, they bypassed several steep mountain walls. Suddenly, the man in black stopped.

The eldest princess asked alertly: "What's wrong? Why don't you leave?"

The man in black tremblingly pointed to a dark valley ahead and said, "We...we just forced Fang Yue into there. The terrain inside is complicated and there is miasma. We dare not go in again."

The eldest princess frowned, looking at the valley filled with strange aura, and felt an ominous premonition in her heart. Without any hesitation, she threw the man in black's acupoints aside and walked resolutely 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 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 a bit.

In a low-lying area in the valley, she found some bloodstains and traces of fighting. She squatted down to check, thinking to herself: "Fang Yue should be nearby."

Just then, 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 in the crack.

The princess' eyes were moist, and she whispered, "Fang Yue, I found you."

Fang Yue opened his eyes with difficulty, and when he saw the princess, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes: "You...how come you are here?"

The 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 come."

The princess bandaged the wound and said, "I can't watch you die. Da Chu has done something wrong. I want to make up for this mistake."

Under the careful care of the princess, Fang Yue's injuries 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 began 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.

"No, the pursuers are coming." The princess's face changed.

They hurriedly looked for a hiding place and hid behind a huge rock.

The pursuers approached quickly, and their footsteps echoed in the silent valley, which was particularly harsh. The princess and Fang Yue clung to the rock, 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 the place where the princess and Fang Yue were hiding.

The princess' heartbeat accelerated, she tightly grasped the healing medicine in her hand, ready to heal Fang Yue at the critical moment. At the same time, her eyes searched around for a possible escape route.

However, there were barren rocks and dense jungles all around, and there was no obvious way out. The princess knew that they had to outsmart and not fight hard.

So she whispered to Fang Yue: "Fang Yue, hold on, I will find a way to take you away from here."

Fang Yue nodded weakly, his eyes revealing his trust in the princess.

At this moment, the princess suddenly thought of a plan.

She quietly took out a secret treasure from her arms, which she 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. This was what she got from an old hermit doctor when she was in the palace. It is said that it can play a confusing melody and make people fall into a short illusion.

The princess put the jade flute to her lips, took a deep breath, and then began to play it gently. 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?" A pursuer said staggeringly.

"Me too, everything around me feels so blurry..." Another pursuer echoed.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when the pursuers fell into illusion, the princess supported Fang Yue and quickly rushed out from behind the rock.

They ran out of the valley along a hidden path with all their strength.

Behind them, the pursuers tried to catch up, but due to the influence of the flute, their speed slowed down significantly, and some even lost their way.

Finally, under the leadership of the princess, they successfully escaped from the valley and came to a relatively safe place.

The princess helped Fang Yue sit on a big rock and began to check his wounds further.

"Although your injuries are stable, you still need to find a doctor to treat you as soon as possible." The princess said anxiously.

Fang Yue shook his head and smiled weakly: "With you here, I'm not afraid. Thank you, princess, you saved me again."

A warm current surged in the princess's 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 princess by his side, he was fearless.

The two did not flee away from Da Chu, but went the other way, resolutely heading towards the capital of the Da Chu Dynasty.

They knew that this journey would be full of dangers and challenges, but only by facing the problems head-on could 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 chose 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 avoid searches and pursuits again and again.

While staying overnight in the mountains, the eldest princess said to Fang Yue: "Fang Yue, the purpose of our trip is not only to escape from pursuit, but also to expose the conspiracy of the national master and completely resolve the dispute between the two countries. Returning to Dachu, Although there are many dangers, this is our only option.”

Fang Yue looked at the eldest princess, his eyes full of admiration, and he said: "Elder princess, I admire your righteousness and courage. But this trip to Dachu will definitely be a dragon's pond and a tiger's den. I can't let you continue to be in danger."

The eldest 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 justice. If it is not stopped, Da Chu will fall into a place of eternal disaster. What's more, there is my father, I can't let him continue to make mistakes! "

Fang Yue was silent for a moment and said, "Okay, since you have made up your mind, let's go."

They rested for another day in the mountains and forests, and after recovering some physical strength, they continued on the road to the Imperial City of Dachu.

Along the way, they ate and slept in the open. Although the eldest princess grew up in the palace, she had no complaints at this time. One day, they came to a small town. This small town is not far from the Imperial City of Dachu, but it is also within the scope of the penetration of the national division's influence.

The eldest princess and Fang Yue found a remote inn to stay. 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 Guard is getting bigger and bigger. I don't know what His Majesty thinks." Another diner said.

The eldest princess and Fang Yue looked at each other, knowing the importance of these discussions.

They decided to stay in the inn for one more day to find out more information. The eldest princess used her wit to start a conversation with the innkeeper.

"Brother, I heard about the Imperial Master, what do you know?" the eldest princess asked pretending to be curious.

The clerk looked around and whispered: "I heard that the imperial master has set up a dragnet in the imperial city, and he is just waiting for someone from the Wei Dynasty to fall into the trap."

The eldest princess's heart tightened, and she subconsciously felt that their whereabouts had been exposed.

Although the eldest princess was a little panicked, her face remained calm. She pretended to be nonchalant and continued to ask the guy:

"Oh? That's really scary. But who is this person from Wei? Why does the Imperial Master spend so much effort?"

The waiter scratched his head and said, "I'm not sure about this. I just heard that that person has some status in Wei, and it seems to be related to the situation between the two countries." (End of Chapter)
