Someone is attempting to storm the gates of the Crown Prince's residence!

Then Lanzhi's father instructed her, "Lanzhi, you must go to the Han Dynasty and find the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. Only in this way can we have any hope of restoring our country!"

And what about you?

Lanzhi's father shook his head, then said in a deep voice, "Your uncle colluded with the Later Cheshi to betray his country in order to become king."

In order not to disappoint our people in the monarchy, I cannot leave; I must fight for my country.

Then Lanzhi's father looked at the guards in the courtyard and said loudly, "You have all followed me for many years, and I have great faith in your loyalty. I now entrust the princess and the hopes of my Gaochang Kingdom entirely to you! I hope you can protect her well and escort her to the Han Dynasty!"

"Please rest assured, Your Highness!!"

The guards responded in unison.

"Lanzhi, on your journey to the Han Dynasty, you must find a way to meet the Emperor and beg him to help our country!"

Thinking about how heavy a burden was being placed on his daughter's shoulders, Lanzhi's father looked at her with a gaze filled with guilt and heartache, and then said:

"If the Han Dynasty is willing to send troops, that would be best. If things don't work out, then you should stay in the Han Dynasty, find a good husband, and marry him! And never come back!"

"Father......"

Hearing her father's words, which sounded like his last testament, Lanzhi's tears once again streamed down her face.

After saying this, Lanzhi's father waved his hand, and the guards stepped forward without further ado to escort Lanzhi away through a secret passage.

Watching his guards escort his daughter away, Lanzhi's father also led a few guards who were unwilling to leave towards the front yard.

As they walked, Lanzhi's father turned his head to look in the direction Lanzhi had fled, and whispered, "You are a princess of Gaochang, but you are also my daughter. I only hope that you are happy!"

Thus, the second prince of Gaochang, with the support of the Later Cheshi Kingdom, killed his father and elder brother, seized the throne of Gaochang, and became a puppet king in the hands of the Later Cheshi Kingdom.
