After becoming a princess, she fell in love with the emperor of the enemy country

Hearing this, He Yuehuan couldn't help but chuckle at Wang Qi's words: "Oh, my dear sister, please don't tease me anymore. Now my only wish is to be able to accompany my parents peacefully. As for other things, I will deal with them later."

"Well, if you can figure it out, that would be great."

Wang Qi gently took He Yuehuan's hand and said softly, "I just saw my mother and your mother busy in the kitchen. I think there should be a lot of delicious food for dinner today."

Then he pulled her to the front yard and said, "It's almost time. Let's go to the front hall and have a delicious meal together."

The two held hands, talked and laughed, having put all their previous troubles behind them.

As they walked, He Yuehuan suddenly sighed, "Finally, I don't have to endure Xuan Yemin's stinky face anymore!"

He Yuehuan stretched out her arms and stretched lazily. Her pretty face blossomed into a bright smile, as if she was relieved and free.

"Who said it wasn't? We've been living in fear and caution every day in the palace. Now we can finally relax a little." Wang Qi echoed.

It’s a pity that the current situation does not allow them to go out and look around, otherwise the two of them would definitely be eager to go out for a stroll.

As if he remembered something, Wang Qi paused and sighed deeply, "Alas... I really don't know what the current situation of Daddy and the others is!"

There was a deep sense of worry in his words. He Yuehuan beside him was also full of worry.

She frowned and said, "Yes, it has been a whole day since my elder brother and Uncle Wang left, but there is still no news. I don't know if they can complete the mission successfully?"

Since climbing the mountain, Wang Tao and He Ji began to carefully plan how to lure this group of people into the trap set up in advance.

However, the reality went against their wishes. The strength of the shadow guards sent by Prince Yu should not be underestimated. Not only did they not fall into the trap easily, but they caused all kinds of troubles for the two along the way.

The journey was full of dangers. The secret guards mixed in the team used shady tricks from time to time, making it difficult to guard against.

If Wang Tao and He Ji had not been so agile and quick-witted, they would have probably died by now.

What’s even more annoying is that these guys seem to be particularly keen on going against them, and no matter what decision they make, they will be opposed.

Even the officers and soldiers in the government office couldn't stand it anymore.

"Sir, please believe what Captain He said. We have explored this place many times before. It is impossible for us to get lost or go in the wrong direction."

His tone was firm and sincere, and he was obviously confident in what he was saying.

The person who spoke was a constable under He Ji, named Xiao Qi. As soon as he entered the government office, he was personally accompanied by He Ji, so naturally he had a good relationship with He Ji.

The secret guard named Er Yue had a cold smile on his face, and his sinister eyes, like a poisonous snake, stared straight at Xiao Qi.

"Humph! When will it be your turn as an insignificant little constable to question the prince? You simply don't know your place!"

Hearing this, Xiao Qi straightened his neck and refuted fearlessly: "The prince has never been to this mountain, how can he know the situation on the mountain? I am just telling the truth!"

"How dare you!" He Ji shouted angrily, interrupting Xiao Qi's words, "You must not show the slightest disrespect to the prince! Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

He Ji knew very well that the situation was serious. If he allowed Xiao Qi to continue talking nonsense, both he and Xiao Qi would be in danger.

Although Xiao Qi was unwilling, he had no choice but to obey He Ji's orders and shut his mouth obediently.

After all, he is still young and doesn't understand the interests involved.

He Ji carefully clasped his fists and bowed to Er Yue, saying respectfully, "Please calm down, sir. I will discipline my subordinates and will never let such things happen again. From now on, I will obey your orders."

Seeing He Ji's sincere attitude, Er Yue's originally tense expression finally relaxed a little, and his tone was no longer so sharp.

"In that case, just follow me over here." After saying that, Er Yue turned and walked forward.

Wang Tao and He Ji exchanged glances, both of them feeling annoyed.

They had never expected that Prince Yu's secret guards would be so difficult to deal with, which undoubtedly added great obstacles to their carefully planned plans.

Under February's leadership, the group slowly stepped into the narrow and rugged mountain path.

This mountain road is like a winding giant python, hidden among the mountains and forests.

On both sides of the road, dense trees stand like green barriers, and their lush branches and leaves are intertwined to form a thick shade.

However, in sharp contrast to this lush scene, the ground is overgrown with weeds, as if no one has taken care of it, revealing a sense of desolation.

February was quite satisfied with this place. It was a great place to kill someone and silence him.

Wang Tao and He Ji looked at each other, and a hint of vigilance flashed in each other's eyes.

They knew that this journey was full of unknown dangers, but they had no idea where General Zhou would set up an ambush.

As the footsteps continued to go deeper into the mountains, the surroundings became increasingly secluded. Wang Tao couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart: "If this continues, not only will I fail to complete the mission today, I'm afraid I'll even lose my life here!"

But they had never expected that from the moment they set foot on the mountain, there were pairs of eyes hidden in the dark following them closely.

Just as everyone was moving forward cautiously, a deafening shout of killing suddenly came from the front.

Wang Tao and He Ji's hearts suddenly tightened, and they subconsciously drew their swords from their waists and became fully alert.

He Ji was a meticulous person. He quickly observed that Er Yue and the other secret guards of the palace also looked alert and did not notice anything unusual.

From this, it can be inferred that this sudden change may not have been instructed by Prince Yu.

However, before he could think about it, a group of figures in black rushed out from the woods.

These men in black moved swiftly and without hesitation, charging straight towards them with sharp blades in hand.

He Ji's eyes were sharp and he caught a subtle detail in an instant.

Although the faces of these mysterious people were completely covered, each of them had a bright red silk tied around his arm.

This discovery made him feel a little relieved.

He Ji couldn't help but be overjoyed, and lowered his voice to Wang Tao beside him and said: "Uncle, it should be someone from our side!"

Wang Tao also noticed this detail and responded softly: "Tell the brothers to step back a few steps and try not to take action if possible."

Sure enough, He Ji's guess was completely correct. The group of people in black in front of them were specially sent by General Zhou to pick them up.
