Princess Changning felt a pain in her eyes, and she lowered her eyes to look at the ground in front of her toes, "He is right."
Giving up one's life is the last resort when one is out of desperation.
If there is still a glimmer of hope, you should not choose this.
Thinking of this, Princess Changning looked up at Helian Hulin and said, "Second Prince, do you have any idea to let them avoid this dance battle tonight?"
“Run!”
After taking a look at Bai Mingwei's expression and seeing her finally nodding at him, Helian Hulin answered without hesitation.
"I know there is a secret passage near my mother's bedroom that leads to the busy city outside the palace. We can escape from the palace through there."
"What happens after that?" There were not many palace maids and guards in the palace of the Helian tribe, and the management was much looser than that of the Huyan tribe.
The difficulty was not escaping from the palace, but how to hide in the northern barbarians with dozens of Dayong women whose figures and appearances were different from those of the barbarians after leaving the palace.
"..." Faced with Princess Changning's question, Helian Hulin was speechless for a moment.
Then, as if he had made up his mind, he straightened his chest and said through gritted teeth, "I will go with you! Just leave the city. With me here, the city guards won't dare to refuse to let you go."
Princess Changning suddenly realized that although the Second Prince Helian was full of sincerity, he was somewhat unconventional.
I don't know if it was because he was naive or took things for granted. Without any other support, how could he, relying solely on his title as the second prince of the Helian tribe, take dozens of Dayong women and leave the Helian tribe royal court and escape?
Even if no one from the Helian tribe tried to stop them, the personal soldiers brought by the Chanyu would never allow so many Dayong women to slip away under their noses.
Taking a deep breath, she reminded him, "Second Prince, there are two thousand soldiers stationed outside the city who accompanied the Chanyu on his inspection tour. Even if you can leave the city successfully, you can't escape the pursuit of those soldiers."
The Northern Barbarians are not like Dayong. They have complex terrain and a dense population, so they can find ways to hide if they escape.
Take the area outside the royal court of the Helian tribe for example. Outside the city was the vast grassland with no shelter at all. It would be very easy for the pursuers to find them.
Leaving so rashly is almost the same as walking into a trap.
"If running away is not an option, what else can I do?"
Helian Hulin was so anxious that he kept jumping on the spot.
Princess Changning also frowned, thinking carefully whether there was any way to gain a chance of survival.
Not far from the house, Lianxiang, holding a medicine pot, hid in the corner, looking outside the yard vigilantly.
The banquet is about to begin and the palace is bustling with activity.
The house where the women from Dayong were imprisoned was particularly deserted.
No one wants to pay more attention to these poor people who are destined to lose their lives tonight.
No one would have thought that in this seemingly deserted house, Princess Dayong and the prince of the Northern Barbarian tribe were trying their best to think of ways to save these "poor people".
method.
Suddenly, Helian Hulin said, "How about I threaten my life and force my father and mother to release them!"
As soon as he said this, even Helian Hulin couldn't help but want to slap himself.
It's his fantasy!
If they were to perform at a palace banquet, it would only be their own business, so it would be fine. But tonight's banquet also involved the Chanyu and many distinguished guests from the Huyan tribe.
Given his father's timid nature, he would rather let him die than spoil the Chanyu's mood and make him disgusted.
"Or, you can all just claim to be sick, saying you have diarrhea and can't dance..."
But if I say that, I'm afraid they will be sent directly to be fed to the northern wolfhounds.
Helian Hulin raised his hands and scratched his head in distress.
He messed up his long hair that was tied with a golden crown, but still couldn't come up with any better idea.
The palace banquet is approaching and everyone in the house is at a loss as to what to do.
There is not much time left for them.
If we delay any longer, I'm afraid the people from Jingyang Palace will come to take them away...
"Second Prince, Princess Changning, please don't worry about it."
"Even if we can survive today, what can we do?"
The person who spoke was a woman next to Bai Mingwei, who was about the same age as her but thinner and weaker.
Not long after she entered the Northern Barbarians, she had decided to die, but unfortunately, there were people watching over her, so she never found a chance to end her life.
If she could die now without suffering and with dignity, it would not be a pain but a relief for her.
"Princess Changning, please give the kerosene to me and I will light it."
Faint crying could be heard in the house.
It wasn't a cry of despair from someone who was left with nowhere else to go, but rather a cry of relief after finally being able to relax.
Princess Changning couldn't help but shed tears along with them.
At this moment, a loud "bang" suddenly sounded outside the house.
The sound came from the east of the house and seemed to be some distance away.
Then, hurried footsteps were heard in front of the door.
Someone was knocking on the door hurriedly outside.
"Princess, it's me."
The person who spoke was Xianglian.
Princess Changning opened the door a crack and pulled her in from outside. Then she quickly closed the door and asked anxiously, "What happened?"
"Princess, there's a fire!"
Xianglian was still in shock. "The noise just now seemed to come from Jingyang Palace. I saw a lot of black smoke and flashes of fire coming from that direction!"
"Fire?" Everyone in the room was shocked.
A fire broke out in Jingyang Palace where a palace banquet was being held?
Could it be that God couldn't bear to see them die here and wanted to give them a chance to escape?
