Lingyu really couldn't understand it. Difficult births of twins almost always result in the death of all three, especially when the pregnant woman is frightened, which is even more difficult to bear.

How did Qiao Zhizhi manage to give birth to twins when everything was fine?

Could it be that her people weren't shouting loud enough?

In such an anxious and difficult time, any pregnant woman who hears such a curse would be affected.

She was unwilling to let Qiao Zhizhi and her unborn child die, thus preventing Qiao Lian'er from suffering grief. She harbored a burning anger with nowhere to vent it.

The most crucial thing now is those who have been sent to the Dali Temple.

"I found out. They're in the dungeon right now, being severely tortured. After all, the Lin and Qiao families aren't ordinary families, so the Dali Temple doesn't dare to neglect them." Yeli strode into the embassy, ​​his face filled with anxiety.

"If this continues, they'll eventually have to confess. When the Emperor and Princess of Daze Kingdom question us, things will get complicated."

"What do you plan to do?" Ling Yu asked coldly.

"Princess, let's hurry back home before they reveal anything."

"Moreover, the naval report has already reached the Emperor. Although our warships are not flying flags, we can guess that it is the Eastern Fu Kingdom. If we settle accounts together, I suspect that the Great Ze Kingdom will detain the princess here."

His words stirred up a sense of unease in Lingyu's heart.

"But we have not yet achieved our goal for this trip."

If she were to leave like this, she would be like a stray dog. What would the people of Dongfu Kingdom think of her in the future?

“If the princess hadn’t competed with the Princess Zhenguo from the beginning, but instead had chosen the prince whom the Emperor of Daze Kingdom favored and trusted as a hostage to take back to Dongfu Kingdom, we would have had a better chance of taking the initiative later on.” Yeli sighed, a hint of disappointment in his voice.

Now that things have come to this point, all we can do is think about how to clean up the mess.

What Yeli said was indeed a plan devised by the Dongfu Kingdom, but when Princess Lingyu saw Qiao Lian'er, the oppressive and composed feeling emanating from Qiao Lian'er made her forget all about it.

A single wrong decision led to her complete defeat. The once proud woman is now filled with frustration and the despair of not being able to explain herself when she returns.

"Princess, please make a decision quickly. We really can't stay here any longer. It's not too late to leave now," Yeli urged.

"But when I arrived in Dongfu Kingdom, everyone knew that I was a failure."

“I was completely overpowered by the Princess Zhenguo, and she rode on my head and made fun of me. Of my thousand warships, only three hundred sailed back. I have never been so defeated.”

Princess Lingyu took a deep breath.

“It’s no longer a matter of saving face, it’s a matter of survival, Princess. If you are really unwilling, why don’t you go back to your country and endure for a while, think about how to defeat Qiao Lian’er, and then come back to Daze Kingdom to avenge your humiliation when you are ready?”

Princess Lingyu closed her eyes briefly: "Fine, I'll endure it."

A chilling smile curled at the corner of her lips: "Qiao Lian'er, I lost to you this time only because of bad luck and lack of preparation. One day I will make the whole world know that you are my defeated opponent."

Using the excuse of strolling around the streets, they found a secluded street, went into a clothing store and bought a disguise. Lingyu and Yeli then rode their horses out of the city.

They dared not bring any of the servants from the embassy, ​​lest they alert the enemy.

Upon entering the capital, there are four main gates: east, west, south, and north. The east gate is the most crowded, followed by the south gate. The west and north gates have fewer people, but they are in opposite directions from the east, requiring a long detour and passing through remote mountain paths.

Therefore, Princess Lingyu decided to go through the south gate.
