Leng Yuexin's face looked ashen, but now was not the time to be sentimental.

Lu Yanluo pulled the man into an alley on the side and said very quickly: "Yuelengxin, listen, the capital is no longer safe now. The emperor is sending people to hunt you down everywhere. Go to the city gate immediately and meet up with the envoys from the northern border. I will lead the pursuers away for you."

Yue Lengxin was stunned and motionless. Lu Yanluo hugged her tightly and said, "I know you are miserable, but Yue Lengxin, don't forget that you are the princess of Beijiang. You have the pride of the royal family. You are tied to the peace of Beijiang and Tianji. You must not die."

"You have a chance only when you are alive. Whether you hate him or love him, everything will make sense only if you are alive. Listen to me and run west as fast as you can. The carriage that will pick you up will be waiting for you there. Your father is still waiting for you to come home in the northern border."

Yue Lengxin nodded vigorously, trying to force back the tears in her eyes. Yes, Lu Yanluo was right, she was the princess of Northern Frontier, she had thousands of people in Northern Frontier, and she also had a father.

"Lu Yanluo, you have to live too."

After saying this, Yue Lengxin raised her hand to wipe the tears from her face, smiled with all her might, turned around and ran in the direction Lu Yanluo pointed.

Seeing this, Lu Yanluo quickly ran to the street, making noise to attract the secret guards who were chasing her.

Beijiang's carriage was right at the city gate. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the killer would never dare to show up. As long as she could help Yue Lengxin delay time, Beijiang's carriage would be able to leave the city smoothly.

But the most dangerous place is after leaving the city. The sky and the earth are vast and endless. Yue Lengxin sits upright in the carriage, clenching her hands tightly, praying that she can be safe and successfully reach the northern border.

However, the carriage had just gone a few hundred miles out of the city when suddenly a huge noise was heard all around, accompanied by the neighing of horses, and the guards around were even more panicked.

When the dust cleared, everyone discovered that the road that had been unobstructed just a moment ago was now blocked by a huge rock.

"The noise just now was probably caused by someone blowing up the mountain to block our way. Everyone, please be careful and protect the princess!"

Before he finished speaking, thick smoke rose up around him.

"Oh no! The smoke is poisonous! Escort the princess away immediately!"

Yue Lengxin was taken down from the carriage and fled all the way. The guards behind her were getting fewer and fewer. The pursuers were about to catch up, and the road under her feet became more and more difficult to walk.

Seeing this, the envoys pushed Yue Lengxin forward and said sadly, "Your Highness, we are here to stop those assassins. Princess, please leave!"

As they spoke, several ministers turned around and went back the way they came, hoping to use their own lives to buy a chance for Yue Lengxin to escape.

But how could a few civil officials be a match for a group of killers? Yue Lengxin watched helplessly as the uncles and aunts who had watched her grow up died under the enemy's butcher knives.

Blood, blood was everywhere he looked. Yue Lengxin's eyes were bloodshot and he was on the verge of falling.

Why? Why did you do this to her?

The killer holding a butcher knife approached Yue Lengxin step by step, with a cold light in his hand.

So be it, father. Please forgive my daughter's unfilial behavior, but I am really tired. The way home is too long and I seem unable to walk back.

In a blink of an eye, the blade was there, but the killer was hit by an arrow from behind. He felt pain and the knife in his hand fell to the ground.

On the hillside, Lu Yanluo jumped down on her horse, slightly turned sideways and reached out to grab Yue Lengxin onto the horse, then took advantage of the killer's unpreparedness and ran straight up the mountain.

Behind her, the killer was chasing her closely. Yue Lengxin tightly grasped Lu Yanluo's waist, feeling a little scared: "Why is it that every time I'm in danger, you always come to save me? Lu Yanluo, if I can return to Northern Frontier alive, if you ask for it one day, Northern Frontier will do its best."

Lu Yanluo snorted and laughed: "Okay, Princess, your words are golden, Yanluo will remember them!"

After getting rid of those secret guards in the city, Lu Yanluo was still worried. The emperor was narrow-minded and would not easily give up chasing Yue Lengxin. She was afraid that he would take action after leaving the city.

Lu Yanluo secretly disguised herself and left the city with the palace's secret guards, rushing all the way. Fortunately, she was still in time to rescue the person.

The two of them rode their horses along, and just when Yue Lengxin was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the horse beneath them suddenly neighed, as if frightened, and rushed around uncontrollably. Lu Yanluo tried her best to hold the reins, but it was of no avail.

The horse was frightened and ran away, bringing the two of them to a cliff in a blink of an eye. Lu Yanluo saw that something was wrong and immediately wanted to pull Yue Lengxin to jump off the horse, but it was too late. The horse jumped off and the two of them fell off the cliff with it.

When she woke up again, Lu Yanluo saw a simple house with Yue Lengxin lying beside her, who had not yet woken up.

They were rescued.

An old woman pushed open the door and walked in, smiling kindly: "Don't be afraid, young lady. My husband and I went out today and found you two on the roadside when we came back. We saw that you two were seriously injured, so we bandaged you up."

"Thank you very much." Lu Yanluo nodded gently to express her gratitude. She looked back at Yue Lengxin and spoke again, "I have something important to attend to and cannot stay for long. My friend, could you please look for me for a while longer?"

The old woman did not refuse and agreed readily. Lu Yanluo left all the silver and money she had to the old woman and set off for the capital.

Night Palace.

Chu Xuan looked distressed as he watched Lu Yanluo treat her wounds, his mouth full of disapproval: "For Yueyue Lengxin, you have been injured several times! Don't worry about her anymore, life or death is up to her!"

Lu Yanluo smiled ingratiatingly and hugged Chu Xuan, crying in pain.

No matter how angry he was, Chu Xuan could not vent his anger. He could only hold the person in his arms and carefully apply medicine to him.

Soon, news spread from the capital that the Princess of Northern Frontier had encountered a dragon on her way back and had died. Everyone was extremely sorry for her.

Zhang Xuanlin, unkempt, stood outside the gate of Prince Ye's mansion just to see Lu Yanluo.

"Is she...is she really dead?" Zhang Xuanlin stared at Lu Yanluo's face, not knowing what news he wanted to hear from her.

"Yes, dead." Lu Yanluo said softly: "Isn't this the result that Lord Zhang wanted? Not only did he kill the princess of the Northern Frontier royal family, but he could also easily provoke a war between Northern Frontier and Tianji. It's the best of both worlds."

“No… that’s not it…”

Zhang Xuanlin wanted to say that he didn't want Yue Lengxin to die, he didn't want to kill her.

But now that things have come to this, what’s the point of saying more?

Zhang Xuanlin became a scavenger and left the Night King's Palace in poverty.

In the Taiji Hall, he kowtowed deeply to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I beg Your Majesty to allow me to resign from my position and leave the capital."

The emperor was surprised: "Why are you doing this?"

Zhang Xuanlin bowed his head and said nothing, not changing his original intention.

The emperor sighed and said, "I know that the accidental death of the Princess of Northern Frontier must have been a great blow to you. I understand. From now on, you should have a good rest at home and come back whenever you want."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."
