When the eldest princess heard this, she thought to herself.

She realized that she might be able to use this information as a cover to bring Fang Yue into the palace for healing. After all, the most dangerous places are often the safest.

So, she decided to take the plunge.

The eldest princess turned to look at Fang Yue and lowered her voice and said, "Fang Yue, now we may have been targeted by the Imperial Preceptor, and we are not safe in the city."

Fang Yue frowned slightly and responded: "What the eldest princess said is absolutely true, so in the princess' opinion, what should we do?"

The eldest princess looked firmly and continued: "There is another safe place, and that is the palace! Moreover, there are many medicinal materials and rare treasures needed for healing in the palace, which will be of great benefit to your recovery from injuries. .

However, this move is extremely risky and requires extreme caution. I am willing to take you into the palace personally 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, a warm current surged in his heart, and he also felt a heavy responsibility.

He knew that this move was not only related to his own safety, but also might involve the eldest princess.

After pondering for a moment, he nodded firmly and said, "Fang Yue will bear in mind the kindness of the eldest princess. Since the princess has already made plans, I will fully cooperate and make sure nothing goes wrong."

When the eldest princess saw this, an imperceptible smile appeared on her lips, and she secretly praised Fang Yue's courage and determination in her heart.

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

"This is my private order, which allows access to some forbidden areas of the palace. Tonight, I will arrange for someone to meet you outside the palace gate. You need to change into this guard uniform and enter the palace with me. Remember, follow me in all your actions. Command, don’t act rashly.”

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

He nodded solemnly to show his understanding.

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

According to the plan, Fang Yue put on the attire of a guard and came to the agreed palace gate with the eldest princess.

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

As soon as she entered the palace, the eldest princess immediately took Fang Yue to a hidden palace, where the medicine and equipment needed for healing had already been prepared.

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

"Princess, if something goes wrong with this adventure of taking me into the palace, what will you do?" Fang Yue asked worriedly.

The eldest princess smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, I have my own sense of discretion. The most important thing now is to let your injury recover as soon as possible, so that we can have enough power to expose the conspiracy of the national master."

Under the careful care of the eldest princess, Fang Yue's injury gradually stabilized. However, they knew that they could not stay in the palace for long and must find an opportunity to leave as soon as possible.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the door. The eldest princess and Fang Yue felt nervous and immediately became vigilant. The eldest princess signaled Fang Yue to hide, and she walked 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 palace maid said respectfully: "Princess, your Majesty invites you."

The eldest princess thought to herself that her majesty summoned her at this time, but she didn't know what the purpose was. But she couldn't refuse, so she had no choice but to go to see His Majesty.

The eldest princess asked Fang Yue not to act rashly, and then followed the maid to his majesty's palace.

After seeing His Majesty, the eldest princess saluted and said, "I wonder what important business you have summoned by Your Majesty?"

His Majesty looked at the eldest princess, his eyes full of doubts and worries. "I heard that you have been acting strangely recently. What happened?" His Majesty asked.

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

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

The eldest 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 taught me a lesson that I will definitely remember."

His Majesty waved his hand and asked the eldest princess to retreat. The eldest princess felt uneasy. She didn't know if His Majesty had noticed her plan. But she had no other choice but to keep going.

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

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

The eldest princess nodded slightly and said: "What you said is very true, but leaving hastily at this time may be more dangerous. We need to wait for a suitable time. Of course, everything is our guess now, maybe it is not exposed here now!"

Fang Yue thought for a moment and then said: "What the princess said is reasonable, but don't worry too much. I will be able to fully recover in just two days."

The eldest princess nodded and said: "Okay, then we will wait here for two days. During these two days, we need to be more careful and make no mistakes."

In the next two days, the eldest princess and Fang Yue were always vigilant.

The princess would occasionally go out to get information to ensure that their whereabouts were not discovered.

Fang Yue took the time to heal his wounds and restore his strength as soon as possible.

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

The national teacher bowed slightly and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I always feel that there seems to be some unusual movements in the palace recently. I am afraid that something unfavorable to Your Majesty is being secretly planned."

The emperor frowned, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes: "Has the national teacher found any clues?"

The national teacher shook his head: "There is no definite evidence at present, but I suspect that someone has sneaked into the palace, and it may be related to Fang Yue of the Great Wei."

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

The national teacher replied: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I have sent more people hands, secretly searched all over the palace. But if Fang Yue really has helpers, it may not be easy 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. You can send someone to keep an eye on the eldest princess's movements."

A gleam of light flashed in the eyes of the national teacher: "Your Majesty is wise, I will arrange it now. If the eldest princess really has colluded with Fang Yue, then..."

The emperor waved his hand and interrupted the national teacher: "This matter cannot be made public. If the eldest princess really has any improper behavior, I will deal with it myself. But before there is solid evidence, don't act rashly."

The national teacher nodded and then withdrew to arrange personnel.

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

After leaving the emperor's bedroom, the national teacher Yuan Tianding did not return directly to his 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 where he hides important information and magic tools.

In the secret room, the candlelight flickered, reflecting the gloomy and deep face of the national teacher.

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

As time went by, the wrinkles on the national teacher's face seemed to deepen a little, and his brows were furrowed. Obviously, this divination was not smooth.

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

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

He seemed to have caught some important clues. Although it was not clear enough, it was enough to guide his next action.

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

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

He quickly left the secret room and summoned his most capable men. These people were all strictly trained masters and loyal to the Imperial Master.

"Listen, I already have clues about them. You divide into several groups and search carefully in various parts of the palace. Once you find a suspicious person, report immediately." The Imperial Master ordered.

The men responded in unison: "Yes, Master!"

They acted quickly, like a group of hungry hounds, searching for traces of prey everywhere in the palace.

At this time, the eldest princess and Fang Yue did not know that they had been targeted by the Imperial Master. They were discussing the next move in the hidden palace.

"Fang Yue, we must find a way to leave the palace as soon as possible. The Imperial Master's people have begun to search the palace secretly, 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 eldest 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. We have no other choice."

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

They shuttled carefully in the palace, trying to avoid the men of the national teacher. Every step they took, they were extremely careful, and their heartbeats accelerated involuntarily.

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

The eldest 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, and the walls were covered with moss. They walked carefully, always alert to the movements around them.

They moved slowly forward in the waterway, and the sound of their footsteps echoed in the narrow space, which was particularly clear. The princess clung to Fang Yue, her heart full of tension and anxiety.

"Fang Yue, we must be careful. I don't know if there will be any unexpected dangers here." The princess whispered.

Fang Yue nodded slightly and scanned the surroundings with vigilance. "Don't worry, princess, I will protect you."

Suddenly, there was a slight sound from the front, like something swimming in the water. The eldest princess and Fang Yue immediately stopped and stared ahead nervously.

Fang Yue clenched the sword in his hand, ready to deal with possible dangers at any time. The eldest princess took out a luminous pearl from her arms, and the faint light illuminated the surrounding environment.

As they got closer, the sound became clearer and clearer. Finally, they saw what was making the noise - a group of black rats scuttling through the water.

The eldest 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 it was even necessary to turn sideways to pass.

After a difficult journey, they seemed to hear sounds outside the waterway. The eldest 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 National Preceptor's men might have discovered their traces.

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

They rushed out of the waterway and came to a remote garden. The garden was overgrown and looked like it had not been taken care of for a long time.

The eldest princess and Fang Yue hid behind a thick bush, not daring to breathe. They heard the Imperial Master's men wandering near the water crossing, seemingly looking for their traces.

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

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

Time passed by, and the National Preceptor's men searched nearby for a long time, but never found their hiding place.

Finally, those people seemed to give up the search, and the footsteps gradually faded away.

The eldest princess couldn't help but breathed 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 again by the national master, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Princess, let me take you to a safe place first." Fang Yue said in a low voice.

The eldest princess nodded slightly, with worry and determination in her eyes. "Okay, Fang Yue, we must be careful."

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