As for the eldest princess, she fainted from fright after seeing her own people killed by her own arrows.
After Yunzhi dealt with the enemies surrounding them, she sensed that there were no other presences nearby. Then she drew her soft sword from her waist and cut a hole in the net.
"Uncle, Aunt, and cousins, let's leave here first."
"Alright!" The group nodded and followed Yunzhi outside. After a few steps, Jiang saw the princess lying on the ground and asked, "What should we do with the princess?"
"Who cares about her!" Xu Liang pulled his wife aside and said, "She's going to kill us, why are you still concerned about her?"
"What are you thinking? I'm not concerned about her. I'm just worried that if she dies, Zhizhi might be in trouble. After all, she's a princess, the Empress Dowager's daughter, and the Emperor's sister." Jiang rolled her eyes at her husband and said to Yunzhi, "Zhizhi, if she dies here, won't it lead back to us?"
"Aunt, don't worry, she's not dead." Yunzhi reassured Jiang Shi with a smile, and quickly led them out of the courtyard.
As soon as I stepped out of the courtyard, I heard someone coming this way from a distance, and they were moving quite fast.
Yunzhi frowned and said to Xu Liang and the others, "Uncle, someone's here. You all go back into the courtyard first, I'll see who it is."
"Okay!" Xu Liang nodded and led his family back into the courtyard.
Yunzhi stood outside, waiting for the person to arrive.
Soon, the person arrived in front of Yunzhi; it was none other than Lu Cang from Dongli.
Upon receiving the news, Lu Cang of Dongli hurriedly left the palace and rushed over, fearing that Yunzhi might be in trouble if he was even a little late.
Seeing Yunzhi standing there unharmed, he felt relieved and asked, "Zhizhi, are you alright?"
"I'm fine, what brings you here?"
"I received news that the Eldest Princess intended to harm you, so I rushed over. Thankfully, you're alright. By the way, where are your uncles? I haven't seen them. Didn't they say the Eldest Princess used your uncles to lure you here?"
"They're in the yard."
After Yunzhi finished speaking, she called out to the courtyard, "Uncle, it's the Prince, please come out."
Xu Liang came out with his family and greeted Dong Li Lu Cang upon seeing him.
"No need for formalities." Dongli Lucang waved his hand, then said to Yunzhi, "My uncle and the others were frightened, let them go back first."
"Um!"
"Someone, take them back."
At Dong Li Lu Cang's command, his subordinates immediately came over and gestured for Xu Liang and the others to enter.
Xu Liang glanced at Yun Zhi before leading his family away with the people from Dongli Lu Cang.
Once they left, Dongli Lucang asked, "Where is the Princess? You didn't kill her, did you?"
"No, she's dizzy inside."
"Alright, I'll go take a look." After saying that, Dongli Lucang went straight into the courtyard to find the eldest princess.
The eldest princess cannot die right now.
However, we could punish her a little, making her suffer more than if she were dead.
The two returned to the courtyard, where the princess was still unconscious. Since all those she had brought were dead, no one had been able to wake her.
Seeing the eldest princess lying on the ground, Yunzhi turned to Dongli Lucang and asked, "Can we kill her and let her keep her son company?"
"Not for now. If she dies, the Empress Dowager will definitely go crazy. Then you'll have endless trouble."
"Alright, then I'll spare her life for now. However, while she may escape the death penalty, she won't escape punishment."
