The guard hurriedly led the princess out of the city. The princess had no choice but to follow. She felt that they were walking very fast. There were many beggars on the roadside and the street stalls were not as prosperous as before. The princess was about to ask something when the guard interrupted her. She saw that the guard went to the horse farm to buy a horse, but the package of gold, silver and jewelry was stolen. Now was not the time to look for the package, so he could only leave with the princess.

I don't know how long it was before it got dark. I saw a small restaurant in the distance and asked if there was a place to stay. Fortunately there was, otherwise the princess would have been uncomfortable living in this deep mountain.

They quickly ordered some food, but the princess was still not in the mood to eat.

I heard someone next to me say, "Do you know Chu? I heard that the princess of Chu ran away because she didn't want to marry Wei. Now Chu has posted a notice, and Wei has also posted a notice saying that whoever finds the princess will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver."

The guard and the princess were eating and listening quietly. The guard originally wanted to stay here, but after hearing what they said, he still felt unsafe. After all, they had not yet reached the Night Country.

So he asked the princess if she had finished eating. The princess couldn't help but feel curious after hearing their conversation. The guard didn't give the princess time to ask questions and hurriedly took the princess' hand and walked out. The waiter in the store also asked, "Are you not staying in the hotel anymore?"

The guard rode on the horse again and asked the princess to hold him. The princess was so tired that day that she fell asleep on the guard's back.

When she woke up, it was already the next day and she had entered the Night Kingdom, a remote little place. The princess looked at the guard lying in the house. She didn't know why she always felt safe with him.

The guard was so tired yesterday that when he arrived at the small town, he saw that the princess had fallen asleep. He gently carried the princess off the horse and took her to the inn he had found. When they got to the guest room, he put the princess on the bed and fell asleep on the table.

The guard woke up after a while, saw that the princess was awake, and asked her if she was hungry.

The princess said, can you tell the truth now?

The guard hesitated, but still handed the letter written by the queen to the princess. The princess opened the letter written by her mother and said, "Daughter, when you see this letter, maybe your mother is no longer here, and maybe our country is no longer here. Your mother doesn't want to be separated from you, but there is no way. The country is going to perish. I don't want you to die with us, and I don't want you to marry someone you don't love and become a victim of this power. Your mother has been hiding it from you. In fact, our country has long been surrounded by enemies, treacherous ministers are in power, and foreign invaders are everywhere."

You should not hate your father. He wanted to marry you to another country in exchange for a glimmer of hope for your life for the sake of the people. But I can only say that our country will never be able to achieve glory again with the help of other countries. It is impossible, so I am willing to die for my country. You should not blame the guard. Mother can see that he is a person worthy of entrusting your life to. Remember, no matter what, never return to your country. You must live. There is only one way to die if you come back. Mother does not want you to die. She has made painstaking plans. Don't make your mother sad. From now on, you can hide your identity and live an ordinary life. As long as you grow up healthy, don't think about revenge for your mother and father. Blame your father for listening to treacherous ministers and misjudging people. Mother will always love you. If there is an afterlife, I will still be your queen mother. To my dear daughter
