This place is deserted. On the left is a towering cliff, and on the right is a bottomless, turbulent river.

The troops of the eldest prince and the second emperor blocked Aleshilan's way, leaving him with no way to escape.

"What are you going to do?" Alesilan pursed his lips tightly and looked at the eldest prince and the second prince with sharp eyes.

The eldest prince glanced at the second prince, smiled suddenly, walked slowly forward, approached Aleshilan, and whispered: "Shouldn't you know what I want to do? Tell me! Where is the third prince? Where is the jade seal?"

The eldest prince's expression suddenly changed. He raised his hand and grabbed Aleshilan's neck, slowly tightening his grip and saying harshly, "To tell you the truth, if you still want to leave here alive today, then tell me the whereabouts of the third brother, or hand over the jade seal. Otherwise, this prince's hands will be out of control!"

The eldest prince's words were full of threats. Suddenly, someone grabbed his throat and it was difficult for him to breathe. He began to feel dizzy and had tinnitus. He could clearly hear the heart beating faster and faster in his chest.

Aleshilan used all his strength to squeeze out a sentence from his lips and teeth: "You...you are dreaming! If you have the guts, just...kill me!"

The eldest prince was furious when he heard this, his face turned pale, "Humble slave!"

Seeing that the eldest prince's hand was getting stronger and stronger on Aleshilan's neck, the second prince hurried forward, grabbed the eldest prince's hand, and tried to pry it apart, saying anxiously: "Brother! Let go quickly and calm down. If you strangle him to death now, we will never be able to find the third brother again!"

The eldest prince's mind, which was blinded by anger, finally regained a bit of clarity and he shook Aleshilan off with force.

The second prince waited for Aleshilan to catch his breath before he said earnestly, "Aleshilan, I might as well tell you that Lu Chenghong has agreed to help my elder brother wipe out Duoze and return to the imperial capital. As long as you hand over the jade seal, Lu Chenghong can immediately send troops to Duoze. Don't you want to go home?"

The second prince tried to lure Aleshilan into handing over the imperial seal.

But he underestimated Alesilan's loyalty to the third prince, and his persuasion was destined to be unnecessary.

Alesilan forced himself to stand up and looked at the eldest prince, the second prince and the soldiers behind them, and suddenly laughed out loud towards the sky.

When everyone was puzzled, Aleshilan finally put away his smile and said seriously: "When I left the imperial city, His Majesty promised that when the winds stop and the sun shines again, if he is not around, the Third Prince will inherit the throne. Words are not enough, the imperial seal is the proof. As descendants of the royal family, how can you not listen to His Majesty's words!"

"What's the difference between your behavior and that of the traitor Duoze who plotted to usurp the throne! If His Majesty knew about this, he would definitely punish you for treason and rebellion!"

Although Aleshilan was young, his words were powerful and touched people's hearts. The first and second princes felt guilty and shouted in a weak voice, "You are talking nonsense! How come I don't know that my father left such an order! It is obvious that the third prince took advantage of the chaos and stole the imperial seal with the intention of confusing people. You are the ones who deserve to be killed!"

Aleshilan smiled calmly and slowly stepped back. With each step, he said, "If you want to accuse someone, you can always find a pretext! The Third Prince is the successor chosen by His Majesty. I swear to follow His Majesty until death!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Alesilan jumped up and jumped into the river not far behind him.

The eldest prince and the second prince were so distracted by Alesilan's words that neither of them noticed when he walked to the water's edge. When they noticed, it was too late.

After Alesilan fell into the water, he was instantly submerged by the rushing river and disappeared.

The river surface returned to normal, and no matter how furious the two eldest princes were, Aleshilan disappeared right under their noses.

"Is someone dead?" The second prince asked, staring at the water.

The eldest prince was so angry that he no longer cared about his status. He cursed at the water: "Bitch! Bitch! You deserve to die!"

The water flows so fast and is so bottomless that even the best swimmers would not be able to survive.

Originally, the two men set up an ambush here, intending to capture Aleshilan and force him to reveal the whereabouts of the third prince. Who would have thought that Aleshilan was a fool and jumped into the river to commit suicide in order to protect the third prince.

After all the hard work, the two got nothing and finally had no choice but to return home empty-handed.

After the eldest prince and the second prince's men left, a group of people quickly poured out of the mountain road which had returned to silence.

The leader walked quickly to the river, looked down, then turned around and said quickly: "Go downstream along the river to get him out immediately. Hurry, or he'll be gone!"

The person who came was Lu Yanluo who followed Alesilan out.

Originally, the secret guards had discovered that there was an ambush on the road, but before Lu Yanluo could catch up with Alesilan, something happened here first.

Now we can only pray that the water flows fast and immediately washes Alesilan downstream after he falls into the water, otherwise this trip would have been in vain.

A group of people walked quickly and rushed to the rocky beach downstream of the river.

"Princess, here!" The secret guard called out loudly, dragged Aleshilan, whose lower body was still soaked in water, to the shore, and put his hand against her neck. There was still a slight beating, so she was not dead yet!

Lu Yanluo took a few quick steps, leaned over to look at the unconscious person, and frowned, "We can't stay here for long, carry him away."

The group of people left again quietly, just as they came.

In a thatched hut, Aleshilan suddenly spat out a mouthful of water, then slowly woke up, and saw an unexpected person.

"Princess...Princess? Why are you here?" Aleshilan tried to get up, only to find that every part of his body was painful. His shoulders were wrapped in a layer of cloth, which was still bleeding.

Lu Yanluo raised her hand to stop him and explained, "Don't move for now. When you fell into the water, you were scratched by the dark rocks at the bottom of the river. The wound is not shallow. You are really lucky this time to have survived."

Because of the excessive blood loss, Aleshilan's face turned pale. He tried to force a smile and thanked her: "Thanks to the princess, you saved my life again this time."

Lu Yanluo snorted, obviously not taking the matter to heart. Since they were allies on the same boat, she naturally couldn't let anyone die easily.

"After you left, I was always a little worried, so I kept following your footsteps in secret, but I was still a step too late. When I arrived, the people of the First and Second Princes had already captured you. I could only choose to stay put and wait for an opportunity to rescue you."

When mentioning the eldest and second princes, Aleshilan's face suddenly turned cold, and he said in a cold voice: "They have already admitted that Lu Chenghong turned against them and stood on the side of the eldest prince. Now it seems that Wang Jun can't be counted on."
