Princess Lily Arrives

After the remnants of Zhao De were eliminated, the atmosphere in the palace was noticeably more relaxed. Guan Lili continued her life in the palace, and her friendships with Li Mo, Ling Feng, and Chu Yan became deeper. Although everything seemed calm on the surface, Lili always felt a little uneasy in her heart, and she felt that there were more secrets hidden in the palace.

That day, Lily was walking in the Imperial Garden when she suddenly heard hurried footsteps. She turned around and saw that it was Han Feng. Han Feng looked serious, and it was obvious that he had something important to say.

"Princess, a mysterious visitor just came to see the emperor and claimed to have important news." Han Feng said.

Lily frowned, "What kind of news?"

Han Feng shook his head. "The details are still unclear, but the man's identity is mysterious. The emperor ordered me to protect the princess and prevent any accidents."

Lily nodded, but her heart was full of curiosity. She decided to personally investigate the origins of this mysterious visitor.

That night, Lily sneaked into the emperor's study and secretly observed through the window. She saw a man in black talking to the emperor in a low voice. The man looked nervous and looked around from time to time.

"It seems that this person is not simple." Lily thought to herself and decided to continue the investigation.

The next day, Lily entered the study room in the name of visiting the emperor, trying to get more information from him. When the emperor saw her, he looked a little tired, but he still smiled and asked her to sit down.

"Lily, you've come at the right time. I have something to discuss with you." said the emperor.

Lily nodded, "Your Majesty, please speak frankly."

The emperor sighed, "The visitor brought some urgent information about the border. It is said that a mysterious force is gathering at the border, which may pose a threat to us."

Lily's heart tightened, "Your Majesty, how should we respond?"

The emperor pondered for a moment, "I have ordered Ling Feng to lead the army to the border for reconnaissance. You can also go with us. I believe in your wisdom."

Lily gladly accepted the task and decided to go to the border with Ling Feng to find out the truth.

Before departure, Li Mo came to see them off. He looked at Lily worriedly and said, "Princess, this journey is full of dangers. You must be careful."

Lily smiled and patted Li Mo's shoulder, "Don't worry, I traveled from the modern era, and I have seen all kinds of storms."

Li Mo smiled helplessly, "Then you must take care of yourself, I will wait for you to come back in the palace."

Lily and Ling Feng led a team of elite soldiers and quickly marched to the border. Along the way, they passed through dense forests, climbed over high mountains, and finally arrived at the border. The atmosphere at the border was tense and the soldiers were on high alert.

"It seems the situation is not optimistic." Ling Feng frowned.

Lily nodded. "We need to speed up and find the mastermind."

After some investigation, they found that a mysterious force was hidden in a small village on the border. Lily and Lingfeng decided to sneak into the village and investigate secretly.

At night, they disguised themselves as ordinary villagers and quietly entered the village. The village was silent, but Lily keenly felt that there were countless eyes staring at them in the dark. She and Ling Feng moved forward carefully and finally found some clues in a dilapidated house.

"Look, there's a map here," Lily whispered.

Ling Feng carefully examined the map and found some strange symbols on it. "These symbols seem to point to a secret base."

Lily nodded. "We have to go there immediately. We can't let them take advantage of any opportunity."

Following the instructions on the map, they came to a hidden cave. The entrance to the cave was covered with thick vines, almost unnoticeable. Lily and Lingfeng pushed aside the vines and entered the cave carefully.

The cave was winding and the air was filled with a damp smell. They walked along the dim passage and finally came to a spacious underground hall. In the hall, several men in black were having a secret meeting. They were obviously the leaders of this mysterious force.

Lily and Ling Feng held their breath and hid in the dark to eavesdrop. They only heard the leader say: "We must speed up the pace of attack. The emperor's power is gradually weakening. This is our best chance."

Lily's heart trembled, knowing that the situation was urgent. She and Ling Feng discussed countermeasures and decided to act separately. Ling Feng was responsible for distracting the guards, while Lily went to retrieve important information.

Ling Feng deliberately made a noise to attract several guards to come and check, and he quickly subdued them. At the same time, Lily quietly sneaked into the leader's room and found several important military documents.

"These documents will surely reveal their plan." Lily was secretly delighted, and quickly put away the documents and prepared to retreat.

However, at this moment, she was discovered by a guard. The guard shouted loudly, and more men in black rushed over. Lily knew that the situation was not good, so she quickly drew her sword to defend herself and started a fierce fight with the enemy.

"Lingfeng, come and help!" Lily shouted, while nimbly dodging the enemy's attacks.

Ling Feng heard the call for help and immediately came to support. Together, the two of them finally repelled the enemy and successfully escaped from the cave with the documents.

After returning to the camp, Lily and Ling Feng handed the documents to the border garrison commander. After reading the documents, the garrison commander's face changed drastically. "Thanks to you, this information is too important. We must report it to the emperor immediately."

Lili and Lingfeng rushed back to the palace overnight and presented the intelligence to the emperor. The emperor was shocked and immediately summoned all the civil and military officials to discuss countermeasures. After some discussion, the emperor decided to strengthen the border defense and completely eliminate this mysterious force.

"Lili, you and Ling Feng have made great contributions." The emperor praised, "I have decided to make you the Princess Protector of the Nation and continue to assist me in governing the country."

Lily felt honored, but she knew that the real challenge was still ahead, and she decided to continue to use her wisdom and courage to protect peace and justice on this land.

Life in the palace returned to normal, but Lily never relaxed. She knew that the road ahead was still full of unknown challenges, but she was ready to face everything.

At this moment, Li Mo brought good news, "Princess, a mysterious guest visited you and he claimed to know your origins."

Lily's heart moved, and she hurried to greet him. After seeing the mysterious guest, Lily was surprised to find that he was her good friend Xiao Li in modern times.

"Xiao Li, why are you here?" Lily exclaimed.

Xiao Li smiled and said, "Lily, I'm here to take you home. Your mission here is complete, and it's time to return to our own world."

Lily had mixed emotions in her heart. Although she wanted to return to the modern era, she was reluctant to leave the friends she had made here.

"Xiao Li, I have a lot of good friends here and I don't want to leave just like that." Lily said.

Xiao Li nodded, "I understand, but you also have to remember that our world needs you, and your family and friends are waiting for you."

Lily fell into deep thought, she knew that no matter what, she had to make a choice, and this choice would determine her future destiny.

Lily's heart was full of doubts and reluctance, but she knew that no matter what decision she made, it would be the most important step in her life.

Lily doesn't know what the future holds, but she believes that no matter where she is, as long as she has justice and courage in her heart, she can overcome all difficulties and embrace a better tomorrow.
