"Princess, we will not run away. We will follow you. Wherever you go, we will go." The palace maid just knelt down and kowtowed to Yu Jinshu.
These palace maids had witnessed with their own eyes that Yu Jinshu had the ability to tame beasts. In these troubled times, there was no place safer than being with Yu Jinshu.
Another maid also knelt down and said, "Princess, please take us with you! We are all alone and don't know where to go. If we run into bad people, I'm afraid we will die. At best, we will just end up as slaves or prostitutes. If we follow you, Princess, maybe we can save our lives."
Two palace maids said this, and all the palace maids knelt down.
"Princess Di, we all want to follow you. Wherever you are, we will be there."
Yu Jinshu suddenly felt a headache. Should she take them with her?
At this time, four concubines with chains on their hands and feet also crawled over.
"Princess Emperor, please take me with you."
"Princess Emperor, I want to follow you too."
These concubines used to be most jealous of Yu Jinshu's mother, fighting for her openly and secretly, and their relationship with Yu Jinshu was very weak.
They were all unsure whether the princess would take them in.
Yu Jinshu looked at the four concubines. Their clothes were torn to shreds, barely covering their bodies. Their bodies were not preserved and were all humiliated by the soldiers.
If she had any grudges against them in the past, now they could be considered to have received retribution and settled their previous grudges.
Now they are all miserable people, she can't just ignore them.
"Okay, I'll take you with me, but you have to listen to me and not make decisions on your own." Yu Jinshu's face was serious.
The palace maids and concubines were very happy and kowtowed repeatedly in response.
Yu Jinshu looked at the chains on the concubines and her own hands and feet and ordered, "Find the key and open the chains."
The ropes tied around the maids' hands broke, and they all stood up to look for the keys. They soon found the soldier who had the keys to all the chains, and opened the chains of Yu Jinshu and the four concubines.
Yu Jinshu looked at the four concubines and several palace maids, and told the other palace maids who were dressed decently, "Find clothes for them to wear."
She took the lead in ripping through the robes of the dead soldiers, trying to find those with less blood stains. She could not wear the outer uniforms, but only the soldiers' inner robes.
Several concubines and palace maids were finally able to wrap their bodies. They all had thoughts of committing suicide, but at this moment, they wanted to live more than ever.
"Princess Emperor, where are we going now?"
Yu Jinshu looked at the corpses scattered across the field, his face calm as he said calmly, "We're not going anywhere. We're waiting for the people from Beiyue Country to come find us."
The palace maids were startled.
"Princess Di, we finally have a chance to escape, why don't we run away?"
Yu Jinshu said, "I just said that I would seek revenge on the Emperor of Beiyue Kingdom. Since I want revenge, of course I have to wait for them to take me to the Imperial City of Beiyue Kingdom."
She looked at them and said, "If you regret leaving, leave now."
The palace maids exchanged glances, then all looked at Yu Jinshu: "We will follow the princess to the imperial city of Beiyue Kingdom."
When the Snake King brought countless snakes to kill the soldiers and generals of the Beiyue Kingdom, they determined that Yu Jinshu was their backbone and that following her would be the right thing to do.
Seeing that they were determined to follow her, Yu Jinshu ordered them one by one: "Go and build a fire. Go and find some food and water."
They had been hungry for a long time and had no strength left, so they had to eat first.
Yu Jinshu took the remaining dozen or so palace maids to search the soldiers for their belongings.
These properties were collected from the Nangan Kingdom’s palace, and they must not be allowed to fall into the hands of the Beiyue people.
When all the property was collected, it was piled up like a small mountain.
Yu Jinshu summoned the Snake King again.
This time when the Snake King appeared, the palace maids and concubines were no longer afraid. In their eyes, the Snake King was their patron saint, which was why they wanted to follow Yu Jinshu.
"Snake King, please help me find a place to hide all these treasures."
The big white python nodded to Yu Jinshu, turned its head, opened its mouth wide, sucked all the treasures into its stomach, and then dragged its heavy body into the heart of the forest.
“It’s amazing.”
"What a powerful snake king."
"With the protection of the Snake King, we are no longer afraid."
"It was the Princess who asked the Snake King to protect us. If we follow the Princess, we will no longer be afraid of anyone bullying us."
Yu Jinshu scratched the back of her head. Come to think of it, it seemed that she could really tame beasts!
At this time, the rice porridge was cooked, and dried meat, salt and a large spoonful of fat were put into it.
A concubine was eating her bowl of meat porridge and began to wipe away tears. "None of the delicacies in the palace seem to be as delicious as this meal today."
The rice was not washed and the dried meat was even stained with blood, but they didn't care and just wanted to fill their stomachs.
As soon as these words were spoken, the palace maids also burst into tears.
In particular, there were several palace maids who had been harmed by the Beiyue Kingdom.
Yu Jinshu finished a bowl of porridge and looked at them with a smile: "You have experienced a lot of misfortunes in the past few days, but the most fortunate thing is that you survived. You must cherish this opportunity and live well in the future."
The palace maids listened to Yu Jinshu's words and nodded with sobs, crying and laughing at the same time, feeling sad but also lucky.
After eating the porridge, they finally regained their strength.
At this time, someone was riding a horse and running over.
Yu Jinshu knew at a glance that the person was from Beiyue Country.
When those people approached, they were very cautious and pulled their horses to look around the mountain, as if to see if there were any giant pythons or snakes.
After they confirmed that there were no pythons or snakes, they jumped off their horses and walked over slowly.
They were looking at the bodies of the soldiers on the ground.
A man in military uniform pointed at Yu Jinshu and said, "That's her. It was Princess Rouhua who summoned the giant python, and the python summoned a swarm of snakes. My lord, you see, they were all bitten to death by snakes."
Yu Jinshu looked at the person who was speaking and thought he should be a small leader in the military camp.
The man in official uniform looked like an official of the lowest rank, the ninth grade.
This place is sparsely populated, and the soldiers were able to find the people from the yamen so quickly, so they must be from the Inspection Office.
An official wearing the robes of a ninth-rank official walked up to Yu Jinshu and saw that besides the corpses, there were only about sixty young women with disheveled hair and messy clothes.
Each of these women is beautiful, especially Princess Rouhua, who not only has a beautiful face, but also an extraordinary aura.
The official from the Inspection Office looked at Yu Jinshu, thought for a moment, and then bowed to her, saying, "Princess Rouhua."
The soldier leading the way shouted, "Master Qi, she is the princess of the Nangan Kingdom and is now a captive of our Beiyue Kingdom. You don't need to be so polite to her."
Yu Jinshu, however, felt that Lord Qi was a smart man.
