"The princess is back! The princess is back!" Alesilan walked over excitedly, interrupting the sweet love between Chu Xuan and Lu Yanluo.

Aleshilan looked at the two people who hurriedly let go of him. What else did he not understand? But he could not wait any longer.

"I'm sorry for the inconvenience. I was so anxious waiting that I heard that the princess had returned and couldn't wait to come here. I'm sorry for disturbing you. Please tell me about the situation in Fenglan City. Are they willing to send troops to look for the third prince?"

Lu Yanluo looked at Alesilan's expectant eyes. Although the reality was cruel, she had to face it.

She told the truth: "Aleshilan, you have to be mentally prepared. The situation is not good. You would never have thought that there is not only the commander of the royal army, Lu Chenghong, in Fenglan City, but also two people you would never have expected, the eldest prince and the second prince, they are also there."

Aleshilan's face was blank and he was extremely shocked: "How could they appear there? They are clearly..."

On the day of escape, everyone was in a panic, and the king sent troops into three groups to escort the eldest prince, the second prince, and the third prince away respectively.

At that time, Aleshilan followed the Third Prince and clearly saw the rebels surrounding the First Prince and the Second Prince's troops. In Aleshilan's mind, the First Prince and the Second Prince should have died in the chaos that day. How could they still be alive, not only that, but also come to Fenglan City.

Lu Yanluo continued, "Not only that, it seems that Lu Chenghong has formed an alliance with the first and second princes. They are now eager to find the third prince and want the imperial seal in his hand."

As Lu Yanluo spoke, she secretly looked at Aleshilan. Aleshilan did not tell her that the Third Prince had the imperial seal. This alone was enough to show that he was still hiding something from the Third Prince.

Sure enough, as soon as Lu Yanluo finished speaking, a trace of panic began to appear on Aleshilan's face. He never thought that Lu Yanluo would know this matter so easily.

Helpless, Aleshilan could only choose to tell the truth: "The king has three sons, but only the third prince is the legitimate son of the king and the queen. The king discovered money very early. The eldest prince is thoughtful, but he has no good heart. The second prince is simple-minded and easily instigated by people with ulterior motives. He will not achieve anything great."

“So when leaving the imperial city, the king personally handed the imperial seal to the third prince, hoping that the third prince would one day use the imperial seal to summon the royal army again, defeat Duoze, and regain the lost kingdom in one fell swoop!”

Hearing this, Lu Yanluo frowned and asked, "So what you said before, about using the totem on the silk to contact the royal army, was all a lie? The real thing that can mobilize the royal army is the jade seal in the hands of the third prince, right? You are afraid that after we know, we will take the jade seal away, support a puppet to take the throne, and use this to plot against Fengxi's territory, right or not!"

"I..." Alesilan was speechless due to Lu Yanluo's questioning.

The decision at that time was too hasty. He was naturally worried that Lu Yanluo and Chu Xuan would become disloyal and cut off the source of the trouble. By then, Fengxi Kingdom would be completely finished.

So he deliberately concealed the matter of the jade seal and only took out a part of the totem.

These were all calculations that he should have kept in his heart. He didn't want to reveal them behind Lu Yanluo's back. Especially after she went through life and death to gather information for him, this situation really made him feel ashamed.

"Please don't blame me, my Lord and Princess. The Third Prince is missing now, and I really can't help but be careful."

Aleshilan's words meant that he admitted it. Chu Xuan's face suddenly darkened and the atmosphere around them instantly dropped to freezing point.

Chu Xuan's imposing manner was so overwhelming that Aleshilan couldn't breathe and his back was wet with cold sweat.

"Are you using our lives as bargaining chips?" Chu Xuan said coldly.

"No." Aleshilan tried to explain: "It happened suddenly, and I was not sure whether the princess would really help, so I concealed the matter of the imperial seal with selfish motives. But I promise that I will never take your lives as a joke, and what I promised you is true. Please don't be offended, my lord and princess."

Aleshilan knelt on his knees to express his sincerity.

Things have come to this point, there is no way Lu Yanluo and Chu Xuan can just sit there and do nothing, so they can only take a long-term view.

Lu Yanluo sighed helplessly: "Now, Lu Chenghong is obviously on the side of the first and second princes. As long as they find the jade seal, they can command the royal army and protect the first prince as emperor. The most urgent task is to find the third prince."

Chu Xuan was silent for a moment, then he said, "With Lu Chenghong here, it seems that Fengxi's Wang Jun can no longer be relied upon. We can only place our hopes on ourselves."

"But the number of people we brought with us is limited, and if we rashly search for people in Fengxi Country, I'm afraid it will attract the attention of Lu Chenghong and Duoze." Lu Yanluo worried.

Chu Xuan hummed and mentioned a person: "There is a market on the border between Fengxi and Tianji. I have an acquaintance there. I think he can help us."

Alesilan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said hopefully, "Great! In that case, Your Majesty, please ask your friend to help you!"

Lu Yanluo sneered: "That's easy to say, but now we are trapped here, how can we send a message to the border?"

Aleshilan didn't care about anything else and said quickly: "I can leave. I will deliver the letter for you. I have often run here since I was a child. I know a mountain road that can hide from people."

Chu Xuan looked at Aleshilan, then raised his hand, took off the ring on his thumb and handed it to him.

"Take this with you. When he sees it, he will naturally believe what you say."

Aleshilan nodded in agreement and left in a hurry.

As soon as the people left, Lu Yanluo felt a little worried. Aleshilan did not know martial arts, the journey was not short, and he was so close to Lu Chenghong and the eldest prince. If he was caught by Lu Chenghong or the eldest prince's men, he would be dead.

After much deliberation, Lu Yanluo decided to lead people to follow to ensure that Alesilan could leave here safely.

On the other side, Aleshilan was riding his horse at full speed, and all the way he was on a mountain road that was rarely traveled. Just when he thought he could leave this place smoothly, the galloping horse suddenly leaned forward, fell to the ground, and he was thrown off.

After landing, he was about to get up to check what happened when a knife was suddenly placed on his neck.

A familiar voice suddenly sounded in my ears.

"Aleshilan, long time no see."

Aleshilan raised his head: "Your Highness the Crown Prince."

The eldest prince faced Aleshilan's hateful gaze and stepped forward. He looked around and said, "This prince knows that you often accompany my good third brother to ride horses here on weekdays, so I guess that if you come back, you must not want to be discovered by us. Then this is the way you must pass. This prince has been waiting here for a long time."
