After I traveled through the book, I was spoiled by five little villains

royal palace.

That place where all the treasures and most beautiful women in the world are gathered, that place that is no different from a legend to most people, is naturally a place that people yearn for.

Beautiful things, at certain times, can breed sin and desire.

In such a disordered and dark night, this greed was magnified to the extreme.

The burning house was reduced to ashes, and the entire block was affected.

On ordinary days, whenever there was a fire, someone would beat drums and gongs to sound the alarm, and then the water dragon team under the Jingzhao Prefecture would rush over and put out the fire together with the neighbors.

Now, we can only save ourselves.

The merciless fire devoured everything until there was nothing left to burn, and then it gradually died out.

Those who managed to survive are in tears. Rather than mourning their deceased loved ones, the first thing they face is how to survive.

The people who survived the disaster hid in their homes and watched everything outside through the cracks in the doors.

No one dared to light a lamp, for fear that the light would bring bad luck.

They heard the sound of galloping horses passing through the street and saw black-armored soldiers who almost blended into the night.

Fear, like a ghost, spread throughout the capital city.

"Mother, mother!"

A little girl of five or six years old was leaning against the crack of the door and screaming loudly.

The woman had just coaxed her baby to sleep when she heard her daughter's voice. She was so frightened that her hair stood on end. She strode up to her daughter and covered her mouth with her hand.

So loud, are you looking for death?

The little girl wanted to say something, so she struggled hard and pointed outside the door.

The woman leaned over and looked out through the gap.

I saw a team of white knights passing by the door. They were wearing silver armor and long white cloaks. The faint moonlight dyed their helmets with a layer of silver glow.

I don’t know how many people there were exactly, I just know that they kept passing by her door.

The group of black-armored soldiers who passed by not long ago were like wolves in the mountains that had been hungry for a long time. Their formation was chaotic and disorderly. Although they were called soldiers, the woman wanted to describe them only as "bandits."

But these white knights before us are completely different.

The woman was stunned and unconsciously loosened her hands that were covering the little girl.

"Mother, she is so beautiful!"

The little girl was watching with her and suddenly became excited, pointing at the people outside.

On a spirited horse, a female knight pulled the reins with her right hand, gently kicked the horse's belly, and followed the large group forward.

Her attire was clearly the same as everyone else's, yet she could be spotted at a glance among the knights dressed in the same attire.

It’s hard to say whether it’s because of her temperament or some other reason, but she is so outstanding.

Even the moonlight treated her with special favor, specially allocating a ray to sprinkle on her shoulders, giving her a layer of light silver glow.

The little girl's voice was a little high, and she seemed to have heard it. She looked down and smiled slightly.

What a smile that was!

This smile is like a ray of morning light that dispels the darkness and goes straight into people's hearts.

Holy and sacred.

"Auntie..."

The little girl asked in astonishment: "Is she a fairy?"

Tears fell from the woman's eyes, but her lips were raised high.

She hugged her daughter in her arms, crying and laughing: "It's not a fairy, it's our eldest princess who is back! She is back!"

The suppressed fear finally got the chance to be completely released, and the woman burst into tears.

Of course she knew the eldest princess.

At that time, she made a living by selling paper-cuts on the roadside of West Market. Fortunately, she got help from the eldest princess and sold her paper-cuts in the bookshop under her name.

Later, she started selling Leyang paper and pens in the study, as well as various stationery she had never heard of. Customers came in a constant stream, and her business improved a lot.

Later, the maid Frost from the Princess's mansion came to the bookshop to take inventory. After seeing her, she gave her a lot of advice and bought her paper-cutting patterns to print on flowery paper. She would get a copper coin for every set of flowery paper sold.

Although a copper coin is small, it can add up to a lot.

Her life soon got better.

The people at the bookstore told her that the clinic at the Princess's residence offered free medical consultations, and not only were the consultations free, but the medicines were also free.

When I took my husband to see a doctor, the old doctor was sitting next to him and actually let a child treat the patient.

With a skeptical attitude, she asked her husband to take medicine for treatment. Unexpectedly, after half a year, he really recovered!

Affected by her husband's illness, the family's livelihood depended on her paper cutting.

After her husband recovered from his illness, the two of them decided to rent a house in the capital and move their family in.

Although he had to pay rent, it was closer to the bookstore and his husband could find more suitable carpentry work and earn more money.

With their hands and hard work, the two of them made their small family better and better.

Last year, I gave birth to a child, and life was prosperous.

Xiang Chen was grateful for the princess's kindness and always mentioned it at home, often reminding her family not to forget their roots.

Who could have thought that at this very moment, someone would actually rebel and the rebels would even break into the city?

The eldest princess is back!

Xiang Chen had only met the eldest princess once in the West Market, and had been keeping an eye on her news since then.

Knowing that the eldest princess was sent on a diplomatic mission by the emperor and later disappeared, she prayed for her in front of the longevity tablet every day.

She didn't know any news after that.

Unexpectedly, on the night she feared the most, the eldest princess would appear before her.

It is not an exaggeration to say that she is a goddess descending from heaven.

The little girl raised her head in her arms and asked curiously, "Mother, is it the eldest princess?"

She didn't understand in her little heart how could the noble princess her mother mentioned appear in the middle of the night, dressed the same as everyone else?

Xiang Chen hugged her and wiped away her tears, choking and saying, "Yes, it's the eldest princess. Her Highness is back."

Putting the child down, she walked to the longevity tablet, closed her eyes and prayed devoutly.

The believer thanked the Bodhisattva for her blessing, and the princess returned to the capital safely!

Dark clouds gathered, blocking out the moonlight.

The night was as dark as ink, ruthlessly covering the earth.

The South Gate of the capital, which had been breached, returned to normal and was closed tightly.

The soldiers on the city wall stood in the darkness, and the atmosphere was solemn and murderous.

Looking down from mid-air, the Imperial City was the only one with lights on in the entire capital. Waves of cavalry and bandits poured in from the streets and alleys and rushed towards the Imperial Palace.

Behind them, an army in distinctive white armor appeared.

The number is not large, only more than 10,000 people.

But in today's capital, there is an overwhelming force that far outnumbers the soldiers of Prince Ruyang who attacked the city.

Not to mention the White Army, there is also the personal guard team led by Yan Changqing, as well as Fang Ting, Su Bai, Qing Bai and others, all of whom are top-notch martial arts masters.

Amidst a vast army of soldiers and horses, they might only be able to kill a few more enemies.

But in the situation that has been deliberately created today, their role will be magnified to the extreme.

The side gate of the palace, next to the moat.

A large mass of black-armored soldiers stood closely together, their eyes flashing with excitement and bloodthirstiness.
