Lin Ziwen patted her hand and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Everything looked fine from the outside, but upon entering, it turned into a misty forest. Lin Ziwen felt a little flustered, as this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
Lin Ziwen tore a strip of cloth from the hem of his clothes and tied it to a tree nearby.
"Let's go." Lin Ziwen took her hand and continued walking forward.
"I thought you would be able to handle this situation well, but I didn't expect you to be so disorganized."
Upon hearing the voice, Lin Ziwen instinctively shielded Su Lixia behind him and asked sternly, "Who is it? Come out!"
"What? You can't even recognize my voice anymore?" Yi Zexuan was already up in the tree, looking down at them and observing them.
Upon seeing that it was Yi Zexuan, the two breathed a sigh of relief.
"The voices have changed here, I can't even recognize you anymore. But weren't you resting? How did you get trapped here too?"
"I was bored, so I came out for a walk. I didn't expect you guys to be here too." After saying that, Yi Zexuan looked at Su Lixia.
He asked, "I've heard that the royal hunting grounds are just ten miles away. The princess should have come out with His Majesty every year. Did you not know there was such a misty forest nearby?"
Yi Zexuan looked at her coldly, thinking that she knew this place and the way out, but she brought Lin Ziwen in specifically, probably because she wanted to harm him.
Upon hearing this, Su Lixia was taken aback. This wasn't mentioned in the plot, how would I know?
Lin Ziwen understood the implication and glanced at Su Lixia.
Su Lixia quickly waved her hands and shook her head, saying, "No, no, I only went to the royal hunting party when I was a child, and I haven't been since I got older. Your Highness may know the reason. There are many handsome men in the capital, so naturally I should take advantage of the opportunity to admire them." Regardless, Su Lixia had no choice but to give up.
"Then the princess is unaware of this Misty Forest?" Yi Zexuan asked in return.
Su Lixia nodded and looked at him with very sincere eyes: "If I had known there was danger, I would not have agreed to let the team stop here to reorganize. Besides, I haven't lived enough yet, and there are still many handsome men like the prince that I haven't had the chance to see."
Upon hearing this, Yi Zexuan was speechless, and sighed, deciding to believe her for the time being.
Lin Ziwen laughed heartily and said, "Alright, alright, finding the exit is the most important thing."
“Yes, yes.” Su Lixia nodded in agreement, then added with a look of impending tears, “Xiaxia has never seen such a terrifying place before.”
Lin Ziwen's lips twitched, and Yi Zexuan was also having a headache. Xia Xia? ???
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, we're here, we'll make sure you're not in any danger."
"I can't guarantee that," Yi Zexuan said, showing no intention of protecting her.
Upon hearing this, Su Lixia grinned, hugged his arm again, and looked up at him with her big, watery eyes.
Lin Ziwen smiled helplessly and took her hand in return.
Yi Zexuan squinted and glanced at their clasped hands.
"The view is blurry down here, and it's impossible to tell which way to go. I could see a little better from up here. The trees here are tall and the branches are strong enough to support a person. But it might be a bit difficult for you to carry her."
"It's alright, you go up first and lead the way for us, I'll bring the princess and follow you."
Yi Zexuan hummed in agreement and went upstairs first, followed by Lin Ziwen.
At this time, everyone in the army was still fast asleep, except for Xiaolian, who was pacing back and forth outside the carriage, looking somewhat anxious.
After the young guard finished eating, he leaned against a tree and took a nap. When he woke up, he saw her walking around there.
