I'm not willing to be a cannon fodder for the female supporting role anymore

After saying that, he walked away without waiting for Yueying's response. Yueying was not stupid. She could feel that Chu Chen was very angry from the cold air passing by her.

After leaving the palace and sitting in the carriage, Yueying thought about it and became angry. Why are you angry? You are going to marry two people, so why can't I propose to be together for the rest of your life?

"Rong'er! Let's not go back home yet."

"Princess, where are we going?"

"Where are you going? Where are you going? Go buy me a pot of wine, some Nv'erhong, Zhuyeqing, Tusu, Huadiao or something like that. I don't understand, just buy me a pot of whatever wine you have, no, ten pots."

Yueying felt like there was a fire burning in her chest. She wanted to hit someone, cry, and shout. She really wanted to find a place where no one was around and be quiet.

"Slave, go now."

Rong'er could sense that her princess was in a very bad mood, so she quickly jumped off the carriage and walked towards a nearby tavern.

"I'll deliver it to... um, East Suburb Bamboo Pavilion in a bit."

Yueying continued talking, but didn't notice that the little girl with long legs had already run away happily.

Afterwards, Yueying directed the driver to leave the capital and head towards the bamboo forest in the eastern suburbs. The bamboo forest was not big, but at the end there was a small hill with a bamboo pavilion on the hill, the kind that people occasionally went up to climb the hill to look into the distance.

The sun is setting, and there should be few people there. I can let off some steam without worrying about my image.

The driver was told to wait outside the bamboo forest. In fact, he was a little worried, but the princess insisted, so he had to obey. This Zhuting Mountain is not high or low, and it still takes more than half an hour to climb it.

After some exercise, my mood really improved. When Yueying climbed to the top of the mountain, I shouted twice towards the sunset, then sat down in the pavilion, closed my eyes and waited for Ronger's wine.

There was a gentle breeze and Yueying fell asleep while leaning against the bed. Fortunately, the coachman was afraid that something might happen to the princess, so he climbed up secretly after hesitation. When he saw that his master was fine, he did not dare to disturb her and just stood far away.

Yueying was awakened by the cold after the sun had completely disappeared. When she opened her eyes, she found that everything around her was pitch black. She called out "Rong'er" twice, but it turned out to be her own coachman who spoke to her and said that Rong'er had not come yet.

Yueying didn't expect that Rong'er ran away before she finished listening to her words. She was worried that something might have happened to the little girl, so she hurriedly ordered the coachman to go down the mountain and return to the city.

As soon as he stood up, Yueying saw a bright spot below the mountain, which was moving through the woods like fireflies.

"Is today a holiday?"

I was wondering if there were any customs that I had missed, and it felt like the mountain was quite lively.

"Princess, I feel like they are looking for someone."

The coachman of the princess's mansion was also an experienced and honest man. He didn't have any twists and turns and just said whatever he thought.

"Look, they are coming up the mountain. They are all torches. You can see them clearly when you get closer."

Speaking of looking for someone, Yueying was a little anxious. She wanted to go back to see Ronger as soon as possible. She kept wondering why the little girl hadn't come for so long.

Yueying always felt that going up the mountain would definitely be slower than going down. As a result, she and the driver had only walked one-fourth of the way down the mountain when they saw people with torches almost climbing halfway up the mountain. Yueying and the others could vaguely hear their shouting.

He is really looking for someone. Yueying silently gave the driver a thumbs up in her heart.

Not long after walking, the sound of someone looking for someone became clearer. Suddenly, I heard a distorted and hoarse voice, which was quite distressing. Could it be that someone was looking for a very important person?

Then Yueying heard the content clearly and was stunned.

"Yueyue, where are you...Yueyue..."

Looking at the lone figure coming up the mountain quickly, Yueying ran towards the light of the torch. Chu Chen also vaguely saw a figure swaying, and he used his internal energy to speed up the mountain.

"Third brother, is that you? I'm here."

If you still don’t understand why Chu Chen came to find you, then you’re a big fool.

When Chu Chen heard the soft voice, his already hoarse voice trembled.

"Why are you here alone? Are you hurt?"

"Third brother, if I tell you that this is a big mistake, will you beat me up?"

"What do you mean?"

"I asked Rong'er to get me some wine, and maybe she ran far away, and probably didn't hear me say I came to the East Suburb Bamboo Forest... Then I just climbed up to get some fresh air, and accidentally fell asleep. If the driver hadn't woken me up, I might still be asleep now."

Afraid that Chu Chen would take his anger out on the servants, he took the initiative to express his guess.

After hearing this explanation, Chu Chen just wanted to catch the person and beat him up, and he did it. He threw away the torch, made Chu Yueying lie sideways on his squatting leg, and spanked her as if she were a child.

"Third brother, I don't want to save my face, you are not allowed to hit me. Woo woo, third brother, I was wrong, I won't run around anymore."

After being beaten several times, Chu Chen pulled her up, patted his clothes, and asked the coachman who followed to light a torch, and the three of them walked down the mountain together.

She felt the warmth of being held in the hand, and could vaguely feel the other person's warm palm still trembling. She took the initiative to hug Chu Chen's arm and leaned her little head against it.

These few short minutes made her realize that the mission might really fail. Chu Chen must be serious about her, and she didn't want to let go.

"Chen, isn't this the way back to the Princess's Mansion?"

After going down the mountain and walking for a long time, Yueying saw that she had not reached home yet, so she lifted the curtain and found that the group not only did not enter the city, but went even further.

"I'm not going back. There are only three days left. I've arranged another place for you to stay."

Three days later, Chu Chen wanted to avoid the wedding and go back, so the next wedding would be three and a half years later. Actually, it's OK, now that the story has developed to this point, let's take it one step at a time.

After driving for a while, the carriage stopped in front of a wooden house.

It was already dark, and the surroundings could not be seen clearly. Chu Chen helped Yueying get out of the car, gave her some instructions, and left Eleven and Seventeen behind before leaving.

When I got up the next day, I opened the window of the cottage and found a stream behind it. On both sides were several newly opened fields, and some vegetables had just sprouted.

Inside the house, it was obvious that everything was new, and the various wooden products still exuded the fragrance of the original wood.

I got up and walked out of the room. There was a woman and a little girl in front of the door, busy cooking.

Seeing this, Yueying had a guess in her mind. Even if that mistake hadn't happened yesterday, she would have been sent here on the wedding day or the day before, right?

Just thinking about this, Yueying suddenly felt in a particularly good mood and her body felt much more relaxed.

"Auntie, you are cooking, do you need help?"

The woman who was cooking heard the hostess's voice, turned around, and bowed to her daughter.

"My lord, please don't bother me. I and Qiao Que will prepare the food right away. You and the two gentlemen can eat after washing your hands."

Then he pointed to the basin beside him and signaled his daughter to bring water for the nobles to wash their hands.

"No need, Qiao Que, go play, I can do it myself."

Then he explained to the woman.

"I am a person who cannot sit still. Unlike the young ladies who like to be quiet, I am usually used to doing simple things by myself to stretch my muscles."

When the woman heard what the noble said, she did not force it. She served the rice and asked Qiao Que to bring it into the house.

With a child as companion, the three days passed extremely quickly. However, the closer it got to the wedding day, the more restless Eleven and Seventeen became.

After watching Chu Yueying hesitate to speak for several times in the morning, Yueying couldn't help it anymore.

"If you two have anything on your mind, just say it. It makes me nervous to see you act like you have something to say but can't."

"Princess, today... today, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince intends to ask the Emperor to abdicate during the wedding... We are really worried about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's safety."

This statement contained a lot of information. It was not that he had not thought about the fact that if he ran away like this, the emperor would definitely investigate the crown prince and the eldest prince. After all, they had both prevented the princess from getting married.

However, he had never thought about how to solve the problem after it was discovered. After all, it had delayed the emperor's promotion and reuse of his son who was living away from home.

Yes, at this moment she still firmly believed that the top scholar was the emperor's illegitimate son.

"Princess, please forgive me for being so nosy. The eldest prince and the crown prince have been secretly competing for the throne. The emperor is not unaware of this. However, the two of them disobeyed the emperor's will at the same time for the princess. The emperor must be keeping an eye on the two princes at this moment. It is really dangerous for our highness to start a rebellion at this time. We are not with the master, so it is really~"

"Why don't you go to the palace to help your master? I'm safe here. Although I'm not a martial arts master, I've been training for a while now, so I should be able to fight one or two people and escape."

Although the two secret guards really wanted to go, they knew the status of the man in front of them in their master's heart and did not dare to make any mistakes.

Yueying saw that the two of them were in a dilemma, one standing outside the door and the other sitting on the threshold, but in the end she did nothing.

"Can I ask you a question? Which of you two is better at kung fu?"

"Princess, I am proficient in hidden weapons, poison, martial arts, and am pretty good at escaping. Eleven is proficient in a variety of martial arts, and our directions are a little different."

So that's how it is. In my article I only wrote that Seventeen could defeat a hundred people alone, and that was because he relied on his flexibility and poison to win.

"I know you're worried about Third Brother and me, so why don't you, Seventeen, go protect Third Brother, and let Eleven stay to protect me. If worst comes to worst, and it's the wrong time and no one comes to tell us, Eleven and I will walk along the stream into the mountains and hide first."

Seventeen looked at Eleven, and seeing that he had no objection, he clasped his fists.

"Princess and Eleven, please be careful of your surroundings. I will be leaving now."

Seventeen left quickly, and Yueying also went out and walked down the stairs. She greeted the aunt and gave her all the jewelry on her body, which were expensive but did not have the palace emblem.

"Aunt, thank you for taking care of us these past few days. If we wait any longer, someone might come and cause trouble. We shouldn't keep anyone here any longer. Please take Qiao Que home quickly."

The lady was smart. After refusing twice, she accepted the jewelry, packed up her things and left with Qiao Que.
