The plan has been made, and everyone starts to act separately. For a moment, there was a clattering sound inside the camp. The guards on the outside, sensing something amiss, were about to go in and investigate when they heard An ling-Yao angrily rebuke, "How dare you! Do you think you can just enter this palace tent as you please? Do you not respect this palace at all?" After saying this, she was about to throw something. Then she turned to Jiang Yu and said quietly, " brother Yu, let's act according to the plan quickly. You go out first and hold off the guards outside, or else we'll be done for as soon as they come in."
Jiang Yu nodded and strode out of the tent. He then grabbed the two guards outside and started chatting with them, "Hey, brothers, it must be tiring standing here. Why don't you come with me for a drink? I have a bottle of fine wine." After saying this, he pulled the two guards and started walking out.
The two guards broke free from Jiang Yu's grip and politely declined, "Thank you for your kind offer, but we are ordered to stand firm here. We cannot leave our post for even a step."
Seeing that the plan was not working, Jiang Yu continued to pull and tug, saying, "Hey, as long as you don't tell, I won't tell. Let's have a drink, and the Crown Prince won't know. Let's go, let's go." The two guards still didn't dare to move. Jiang Yu was not in a hurry, she kept pulling the two guards while checking if An ling-Yao and the others had left. After a series of thorough preparations, An ling-Yao and the two of them quietly slipped out of the camp, rode the horse that Jiang Yu had prepared in advance, and galloped towards the hunting ground. Seeing the two of them safely leaving, Jiang Yu no longer bothered the two guards, casually laughed and was about to leave.
The guard outside the tent looked at Jiang Yu's figure with a puzzled expression, feeling that something was not quite right. Although he sensed that something was amiss, due to his position, he could only softly ask through the curtain, "Your Highness, are you alright? Should I report to the Crown Prince?" Inside the camp, Liutong heard the guard's words and became so nervous that he was trembling. He could only lie on the bed, tightly wrapping himself in the blanket, pretending to hear An ling-Yao's voice whisper, "I'm fine, there's no need to trouble the Crown Prince. I just need to rest in bed for a while."
Upon hearing Liutong's words, the guard suddenly felt that the princess's voice seemed different, and quickly asked, "Your Highness, are you sure you're okay? Why do we feel like something is off with your voice?" Liutong nervously replied, "I really am fine, you don't need to worry." The guard looked puzzled but dared not ask further, and could only respond with an acknowledgment.
Liutong saw the guards no longer questioning and immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Sitting on the bed, he silently prayed: "Princess, I hope your journey will be safe and smooth."
Two flowers bloom, each showing its own beauty. Liutong managed to get through this side. But things are not going so smoothly for An ling-Yao.
The guards stationed on the outskirts just don't believe that the two people across from them are Princess Changle and her maid, so they absolutely refuse to let them pass.
At this moment, a young figure appeared in front of everyone. The guards, upon seeing this figure, immediately bowed and saluted, "I have seen His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince." An ling-Yao turned to look and saw a child of about thirteen or fourteen years old. The child looked up and stared straight at An ling-Yao, "Are you the Princess of Southern Departure that Second brother mentioned?" An ling-Yao looked the child up and down, then made a courteous greeting, "Changle has seen His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince."
The Sixth Prince waved his hand and said, "Sister, there's no need for formalities. Just call me Xiaoyu. Are you going in to see Second brother? I'll take you in."
Upon hearing this, An ling-Yao's eyes lit up. It was as if she had found what she was looking for without any effort. She then thanked Changle and The Sixth Prince: "Thank you in advance, The Sixth Prince."
The Sixth Prince waved his hand nonchalantly, "No need for formalities, sister. Let's go in."
An ling-Yao had just arrived when she saw Xuanyuan Yi's horse go wild. Xuanyuan Yi struggled for a while before being thrown to the ground. At the critical moment, An ling-Yao rode in on her horse and stopped in front of Xuanyuan Yi. Then An ling-Yao reached out a hand and said, "What are you standing there for? Come up!" Xuanyuan Yi grabbed An ling-Yao's hand and leaped onto the horse.
This scene happened to be seen by Emperor Wu, who was at a distance. He asked in a casual tone, "Is that red-clad girl on the horse Changle?" The palace attendants quickly replied, "Yes, Your Majesty, that is Princess Changle."
Emperor Wu couldn't help but praise, "I didn't expect that the princess of Southern Departure would have such excellent riding skills." He then began to reprimand the princes, saying, "Look, even the princess of Southern Departure has such good riding skills. As princes of our Great Qian, how can you be inferior to the princess of Southern Departure?"
The princes nodded with dissatisfaction, except for The Sixth Prince, who looked at An ling-Yao with admiration and said, "I didn't expect that the big sister's riding skills are so superb. Next time, I must ask her to teach me."
After reprimanding the princes, Emperor Wu summoned the chief guard and angrily said, "I really have to ask you, how did you become the chief guard? You couldn't detect the problem with the crown prince's horse, and you were oblivious to the danger the crown prince was in. In that case, you should not be the chief guard anymore. Go and guard the city gate instead."
The chief guard bowed and slowly stepped back. Then Emperor Wu ordered Xuanyuan Yi and An ling-Yao to come forward. When they reached the imperial carriage, Emperor Wu carefully examined An ling-Yao and praised her, "Well done, as a princess of Southern Departure, your equestrian skills are truly outstanding. And today, you also saved Yi'er. Tell me, what reward do you want? I will grant it to you." An ling-Yao was overjoyed at the words and immediately made her request, "I do not want to marry anyone yet."
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole scene erupted in an uproar. Xuanyuan Yi frowned upon hearing this and was about to say something. Emperor Wu raised his hand to stop him, "I know what you want to say, so you don't need to speak. I will handle the rest." Then he said to An ling-Yao, "Your father sent you here ostensibly for a marriage alliance. Do you have the right to decide if you don't want to marry?" Upon hearing this, An ling-Yao felt utterly dejected and slumped to the ground.
Xuanyuan Yi saw An ling-Yao's expression and sighed. Then he bowed to Emperor Wu and said, "Father, how about this. Since Changle doesn't want to marry yet, let's wait a little longer. Give your son three years. I can change Changle's opinion of me in three years."
Emperor Wu nodded in satisfaction at the words and turned to An ling-Yao, asking, "Can you accept this outcome, Changle?"
An ling-Yao looked around and could only nod helplessly.
