One of the maids burst into tears and couldn't hold back, she said in a sobbing voice: "Your Highness, the princess...she knocked us out and then sneaked out of the palace under the cover of night.

We searched almost the entire palace, leaving no corner untouched, but we couldn't find any trace of her.

Finally, a letter was found under her pillow. "

As she spoke, she seemed to have used up all her strength, and immediately struggled to get up, staggered to the inner room, carefully took out the letter, held it in both hands, and handed it to Sheng Chuyi with great trepidation.

Sheng Chuyi snatched the letter and asked angrily, "Why didn't you report this important matter to me earlier? Don't you know how much trouble this will bring to the royal family?"

The palace maids were trembling all over at this time and dared not speak a word.

She just lowered her head and sobbed, silently enduring Sheng Chuyi's anger and rebuke.

Sheng Chuyi's eyes were full of anger. The letter seemed to be like a thorn in his heart. He slammed it hard on the table, as if he wanted to vent all the anxiety and worry in his heart.

He shouted angrily, "Nonsense, all nonsense, one or two of them are so nonsense, how can a delicate girl like her set foot in such a dangerous battlefield? They are simply playing with their own lives!"

As he spoke, he shouted anxiously, "Come here, come here, quickly prepare the pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Your Highness needs to write a letter immediately."

After he finished shouting, he felt that writing a letter was a waste of time, so he quickly changed his tone, "Oh, forget it, I'll go find my father."

After saying that, Sheng Chuyi no longer hesitated and ran out of the hall in a hurry.

Xiao Dezi was running after him breathlessly, with a helpless look on his face. He shouted as he ran, "Your Highness, Your Highness, please slow down. I don't have any martial arts skills and can't keep up with your speed."

At this time, Sheng Chuyi had already forgotten his usual calmness.

While running out of breath, Xiao Dezi comforted himself: Her Royal Highness the Princess is the most important, Her Royal Highness the Princess is the most important.

It is common that when His Highness encounters matters concerning the Princess, he becomes particularly unlike His Highness the Crown Prince.

When Sheng Chuyi ran all the way to Sheng Yuan, Sheng Yuan had just finished writing the letter.

"Father, Sheng Chuhan sneaked out of the palace and is not here anymore. Please send the Jinwu Guards to bring him back." Sheng Chuyi said breathlessly.

Sheng Yuan's mood has returned to normal. He frowned and looked at Sheng Chuyi, "You still need to temper your temper. It's not a big storm. Is it necessary to be so anxious? What has happened to you?"

Sheng Chuyi was stunned, feeling something was wrong, "No, Father, Sheng Chuhan sneaked out of the palace to go to the battlefield? Aren't you in a hurry at all?"

Upon hearing this, Sheng Yuan picked up the letter paper in his hand, blew on it, and then folded it up after seeing the words dry.

He said leisurely, "I know, she sneaked away. When I was giving her gifts, I saw her hiding among the soldiers."

"Didn't you stop her? If the Queen Mother knew, she would be so worried." Sheng Chuyi looked anxious.

"Ah, why are you panicking? I've already told your mother that no matter whether you go or Li'er goes, that girl will sneak out and follow. It's better to let her sneak out under our noses than to let her sneak away on her own. I've already written about this in the letter. Li'er will take good care of her. Since this girl is so determined to contribute, let her go."

"In addition, you should also take responsibility. When Li'er comes back from the battle this time, the ministers may have other ideas. You have to be prepared." Sheng Yuan sighed.

He continued, "I don't want to see brothers and sisters killing each other. Yi'er, you have to promise father that no matter what happens, you are not allowed to turn your sword against your brothers and sisters."

Sheng Chuyi wanted to say how could he do this, but when his eyes met Sheng Yuan's serious expression, his heart was slightly shocked.

He adjusted his mood and solemnly assured Sheng Yuan, "Don't worry, Father. I promise that no matter what happens, I, Sheng Chuyi, my brother Sheng Chuli, and my sister Sheng Chuhan are all your and mother's children. We will never fight each other. I will protect them."

Sheng Yuan nodded with relief, "That's good, that's good, your mother and I are relieved."

Sheng Yuan's relieved expression made Sheng Chuyi feel confused. Could it be that his father knew something that he didn't?

He wanted to ask further, but then he thought, no matter what happened, he would not hurt his younger brothers and sisters, so there was no need to ask.

Here, Sheng Chuli set out with his army.

The generals behind him all had different expressions.

Before this morning, everyone thought that it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who led the troops to battle.

But this morning, I suddenly received an imperial decree saying that the prince would return to the capital to lead the troops to war, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would stay in the capital to take care of the sick emperor.

"This matter, in my opinion, is a bit strange." A general whispered.

Another general came over and said in a cold voice, "He is just an adopted son with the title of idle prince. No matter how things change, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's future status will not change."

"That's not necessarily true. The imperial edict was issued just this morning. The prince is far away in the frontier. How could he have returned to the capital by such a coincidence?"

"You mean to say that the prince had already received the imperial decree and secretly returned to the capital, just waiting for the army to set out? Doesn't that mean that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the last one to know? Could it be that the emperor really has other ideas?"

"That's not right. The Crown Prince has been acting as the government official for the past few years. Although he hasn't made any great achievements, he hasn't made any mistakes either. The Emperor is very satisfied with the Crown Prince. Why would he suddenly make such a decision? There is something wrong."

Several generals were discussing, when suddenly a clear voice interrupted.

"Hmph, what's wrong? No matter what the Crown Prince and the Prince say, the Emperor treats them equally. Didn't the Emperor clearly explain in the imperial edict why the Prince came back to lead the troops for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Why are you still making so much trouble?"

Several generals were stunned, some of them couldn't believe that a soldier dared to interrupt.

"Where are you from? Who do you work for? Who's your boss? You have no manners at all." A general looked at the handsome soldier and frowned slightly.

"Who recruited these people? Look at their short stature, thin arms and legs, they can't carry anything with their shoulders or hands. How do these people do their work? The screening is so lax. If we let people like this go on the battlefield, they will be courting death, isn't that it?" another general interrupted.

The general who was following Sheng Chuli in front heard the noise here, rode over on his horse to take a look, and his brows were furrowed.

Why does this person look so familiar?

It seems that he has some of the emperor's features. It's strange, why does he look so familiar?

He looked carefully and suddenly saw two ear holes, which made him alarm bells go off.

He immediately rode his horse to Sheng Chuli's side and whispered a few words in Sheng Chuli's ear.

Sheng Chuli's face changed, he resisted the urge to turn around, and asked coldly, "Are you sure you're not seeing things?"

The general shook his head repeatedly, "No, I am definitely not mistaken, it is Her Royal Highness the Princess."

How did this little bastard get into the team?

If the Emperor and the Crown Prince knew about this, wouldn't they skin these generals alive?

When Sheng Chuli heard this, he felt something strange in his heart.

The corners of his mouth curled up, and then returned to normal in the blink of an eye.

The general next to him was named Liu Teng, who had worked under Sheng Chuli before.

When he heard that it was Sheng Chuli who led the troops this time, he deliberately followed Sheng Chuli, wanting to repay his kindness.

Liu Teng was originally waiting for Sheng Chuli's instructions, but a cup of tea passed and Sheng Chuli didn't say a word.

And he felt that Sheng Chuli seemed to be in a good mood.

This is strange. Before the prince went to the border, he was very fond of the princess. Could it be that he changed after being in the border for three years?

While Liu Teng was daydreaming, he suddenly heard a low and cold voice, "Give orders to speed up and get to Mudu Town before dusk. Don't enter the town, but rest for a night by the Mudu River next to the town, and set out again early the next morning."

When Liu Teng heard this, his heart tightened. How could this be like someone deliberately going against Her Royal Highness the Princess?

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will give the order right away." After Liu Teng finished speaking, he was about to ride his horse to the back to announce Sheng Chuli's instructions.

Sheng Chuli called him, "Liu Teng, call me general from now on. There are no princes on the battlefield, only enemies and companions."

"Yes, General." Liu Teng's eyes lit up.

Sheng Chuhan was being interrogated by several generals and she was very conflicted.

If he revealed his identity and was discovered by Sheng Chuli, he would definitely be sent back to the capital.

But if he didn't reveal his true identity, he would probably be kicked out of the team in the next second.

Just when she was extremely confused, she suddenly found that a general who had come to check the situation earlier came back again.

He whispered a few words to the generals, who turned serious and said, "I obey your orders."

After Liu Teng gave the instructions, he glanced at Sheng Chuhan who was shrinking his head, and felt conflicted about how to deal with this ancestor.

However, since the general did not explicitly say that he wanted to send the princess away, we should just ignore her for the time being.

"Okay, now that you've joined the army, don't bother with all this nonsense. The most important thing is to hurry on."

Upon hearing this, several generals no longer held on to Sheng Chuhan and immediately dispersed to issue orders.

When Sheng Chuhan heard the order, his eyes widened.

What the hell?

Want to speed up?

It's killing her. She's wearing such heavy armor and carrying such a heavy sword. She can hardly walk anymore. Why is she speeding up?

She thought of the general who had just returned, and her heart tightened.

Could it be that she was discovered?

But, since she was discovered, why didn't Sheng Chuli come to find him and escort her back to the capital?

Well, it certainly wasn't discovered, it was just an accident.

Sheng Chuhan looked at the person in front of her miserably as she suddenly started running. She could only run forward with her long sword in her hand.

Several generals riding horses nearby were watching the army moving forward.

A general noticed that Sheng Chuhan's face was distorted and struggling, and he shook his head repeatedly as he looked at her disappointing appearance.

"Who are these people under? Why did they recruit such a guy? Isn't he just asking for death?" The general had a hot temper. He couldn't stand such soldiers and asked loudly.

Then he lowered his head and whispered to the general next to him, "If he can't do it, let him go back. I'm really afraid that he will die before he even reaches the battlefield. It's better for him to go home and farm."

"Okay, shut up now. We don't know what kind of temper the person in front has. Don't cause trouble. Let's go quickly." The general on the side said, glared at him, and galloped forward on his horse.

The army jogged all the way, running for half an hour and resting for half an hour.

Two hours had passed, and Sheng Chuli had been enduring it again and again.

I really didn't expect that the girl could hold it together without saying a word. Her perseverance is quite good.

In the end, he couldn't help it, and rode his horse to the back under the pretext of patrolling.

He walked back for a while and found Sheng Chuhan at a glance.

The little princess's face was covered with sweat. She kept biting her lips tightly, breathing through her mouth from time to time, then clenched her teeth, holding the spear in her hand, and continued to run forward.

Sheng Chuli stared at the figure intently, feeling very complicated.

A general followed Sheng Chuli's gaze.

Damn it, why is it that pretty boy again? Why did the general notice him?

Thinking of this, he glanced at the soldiers around him and then looked at Sheng Chuhan.

Well, it’s hard not to notice.

What should I do? Should I explain this to the general?

While he was struggling, Liu Teng rode his horse up to Sheng Chuli and whispered something to him. Sheng Chuli rode his horse towards the front of the army with an expressionless face.

The general who was struggling breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the general didn't say anything.

He didn't want to leave a bad impression on the general as soon as he set out.

But how to deal with this pretty boy?

Forget it. When we rest at night, I'll discuss it with the other generals. If it doesn't work out, let him leave as soon as possible.

A majestic general suddenly hit his shoulder without warning like a gust of wind.

Li An's body swayed slightly, a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes, and he shouted angrily: "Are you looking for death? If you have something to say, just talk it over nicely. Don't make a move here. What a disgrace!"

"Oh, don't be angry. Why are you so irritable? You really need to change your temper. Forget it, forget it. Look, how come the general suddenly got a carriage?"

Shi Jiahe hurriedly comforted Li An, patted him gently on the shoulder, pointed to a hidden corner in front, revealed a mysterious smile in his eyes, and whispered.

When Li An heard this, he was stunned at first, and the anger on his face gradually dissipated, replaced by a hint of doubt and curiosity.

He looked in the direction that Shi Jiahe had pointed, and saw that a brand new carriage had suddenly appeared in the originally neat and orderly team.

The body of the carriage was shiny black, with delicate patterns carved on the shaft and the reins neatly wound. It was obvious at a glance that it was carefully prepared.
