Traveling through time and space

The cliff was estimated to be five or six hundred meters high. "How can we get up this high?" Su Yuanyuan worriedly asked, "Your Highness, let's split up and look around the bottom of the cliff. Is there a shorter way to get to the top? Or maybe even some real mountain climbing would be fine?"

"This one's too flat. Maybe we can look for a tree or something on the cliff to hold onto."

"Okay, Your Highness, I'll go find it, or I can go up myself and then let the rope down," Guard Flame suggested.

"Flame Guard, use your crossbow to shoot the rope up to use as a climbing point."

"Yes, Princess, I understand." Everyone split up and searched along the cliff bottom as they moved forward. Su Yuanyuan hadn't found the ideal spot yet, and not long after, she heard Guard Yan's voice. He soon came over, shouting that there was a suitable spot up ahead that should be passable. Everyone was delighted and quickly followed him to see the suitable spot he mentioned. It was indeed concave, with a large drop in the middle, much lower than the left and right sides. Okay, this was the spot they decided on.

"Guard Yan, can you please help carry this princess up first, tie the rope as a support point, and then we can help Lord Du up together?" Su Yuanyuan had an idea.

"How can I get up here? I can't let you get into trouble."

The prince ignored Lord Du and said, "Okay, let's do it this way. While there is still some daylight, it will be more dangerous when it gets dark."

Su Yuanyuan carefully observed this area and chose this one because, firstly, it was concave in the middle, and secondly, there was really a tree on the cliff. It was either up or down, so he probably could use some strength. Su Yuanyuan asked Flame Guard if he could jump to the small platform next to the tree? Flame Guard shook his head and said that unless there was a support point, Su Yuanyuan said nothing and tied the rope to the crossbow and shot at the tree. Fortunately, the tree was thick enough and the distance was not too far, so the arrow soon fell from the other side of the tree. After tying the rope and everything was ready, he tested the rope to see if it was strong. Su Yuanyuan was not afraid of crawling. He kept his composure and nodded at them. Flame Guard was very agile and reached the first tree in a few steps under the expectant eyes of everyone. On the small platform beside, he untied the rope tied around his waist and put it down. Su Yuanyuan picked up the rope and tied it around his waist, then climbed up step by step while holding the rope. With the Flame Guard fixing the rope on top, Su Yuanyuan felt much more relaxed, and he fell to the first platform without much effort, untied the rope, and moved to the side. Because there was a tree above this side, the Flame Guard followed Su Yuanyuan's method just now, threw the rope up, hooked it again, tied the rope, and climbed up step by step again. After four times of this, the two finally reached the top of the cliff, but it was almost dark at this time, and Su Yuanyuan also discovered the problem. The rope was not long enough. Su Yuanyuan asked Guard Yan to look carefully nearby and find the largest tree to tie the rope. Su Yuanyuan took advantage of their unpreparedness and took out two long ropes from the space and a basket. If Lord Du really didn't dare to climb, he could ask him to sit in the basket. Anyway, he had to be brought up safely. Su Yuanyuan pretended to be excited and shouted, and picked up another rope and a basket. Guard Yan didn't think much about it and was equally happy. He found a big tree, tied one end of the rope to the tree, and threw the other end down. After some tossing, Lord Du and the others finally came up, but Lord Du was a little embarrassed because he came up sitting in the basket. It was completely dark, and it took them this time to come up. Su Yuanyuan took out the pheasant, lit a fire and started roasting it. When they came up, the prince asked where the pheasant came from? Su Yuanyuan said that she came across a nest of pheasants sleeping, so she took them for a meal. In this way, the four of them ate a chicken each, and said that they would rest here at night. It was too dangerous to walk on the mountain road. This time, the prince and Guard Yan said that they would take turns to be on duty, so that the princess and Lord Du could have a good rest. Su Yuanyuan did not force it. She was really tired. When she got up after eating, Su Yuanyuan felt a lot of pain. It turned out that she twisted her right foot when she was dragging it just now. She was grimacing in pain again. Guard Yan helped Su Yuanyuan to sit down against a tree. If there was no one around, she really wanted to go to the space to take a bath in the spiritual water and have a good sleep. It hurt, the kind of heart-wrenching pain.

"Princess, lift your foot and put it here." Guard Yan moved a stone and placed it under Su Yuanyuan's feet, then lifted Su Yuanyuan's injured leg and placed it on the stone.

"Thank you." Su Yuanyuan thanked him. She fainted from the pain. She felt the fire was closer to her and felt a little warm. She didn't know whether she fell asleep or fainted from the pain. Anyway, she fell asleep.

"Who, who is over there?" Su Yuanyuan heard someone talking in her sleep.

"Who is talking?" Su Yuanyuan woke up suddenly and asked.

"Who's over there?" Du Heng also woke up, stood up and stood beside Su Yuanyuan. Guard Yan also came over and drew his sword.

"Princess, is that you?" someone asked in a trembling voice, and Guard Yan stepped forward to check. "Princess, is it really you?" Dongmei and Rumei were the first to rush out, along with a large group of people, all carrying torches.

"Master, it's really you," Yue'er rushed over like the wind.

"Your humble servant greets the princess and Lord Du." A few more people came out and greeted them first.

"Hello, Lord Su, this is..." Du Heng pointed at the people standing nearby.

"Sir Du, this is General Fang Mingye and his colleagues." Su Yuhuan introduced them. Su Yuanyuan remembered this person.

"Greetings, Your Majesty." It turned out that the prince had returned and brought back a few tree trunks.

"Lord Su, how many days have we been out?" asked Lord Du.

"It's past midnight now. Today is March 21st. Today is the fourth day."

The prince asked Su Yuanyuan, "Is there an imperial physician accompanying you?"

"In reply to the prince, those who know how to heal should stay at the foot of the mountain to treat the villagers."

"Princess, we're all tired. How about waiting until daybreak before heading back?"

"Okay, since everyone is gathered here, there's no need to rush. Safety comes first." Su Yuanyuan felt relieved when she saw the person coming.

"Okay, Lord Su, arrange for everyone to rest. Get a few more people to help make a stretcher. The princess is injured and needs to be carried back."

"Princess, you should have a good rest. We, the servants, will take care of you." Dongmei and Rumei surrounded Su Yuanyuan with tears in their eyes. They took off their outer clothes, put them as padding, and moved Su Yuanyuan over.

"Don't cry anymore. I'm still fine, right?" Seeing them crying, Su Yuanyuan wanted to laugh and reached out to wipe Dongmei's tears.

"It is my fault. I will never leave the princess again."

"Okay, okay, if you cry again, I will be angry," Su Yuanyuan said with a gloomy face.

"Okay, I won't cry anymore. Princess, are you hungry? Or thirsty? I have food here." In an instant, Su Yuanyuan had a lot of things in her hands.

"Guard Yan, take this and eat it." Su Yuanyuan called Guard Yan.

"Princess, who is he?"

"He was the secret guard assigned to this princess by the Emperor. This simple-minded fellow jumped down with this princess."

"Princess, this is my duty as a secret guard, but I failed to protect you and you got hurt."

"It's okay. It's not your fault. Since so many people have come, you should just rest. If there is anything, let them do it." Su Yuanyuan gave instructions. With the arrival of Rumei and the others, Su Yuanyuan felt relaxed. She didn't feel any pain and continued to sleep for a while.

"Let me try." Hearing the voice, Su Yuanyuan opened her eyes. It turned out that it was already dawn.

"What are you doing?" Su Yuanyuan asked curiously.

"Princess, would you like to try the sedan chair made by the prince and his men?" Dongmei came over and helped Su Yuanyuan up.

"It hurts so much." Su Yuanyuan stood up and her foot touched the ground. She felt her foot retract again and she had forgotten about the sprain. It hurt so much. Two days later, the group finally returned to Maziling safely. They had a normal meal and a normal bed to sleep in at night. Su Yuanyuan was very happy. The doctor came to see her foot and said that she had to stay in bed for a few days to rest. It was not a broken bone or something like that. The prince came over and said that he had to take care of some things and would return to Beijing tomorrow. Su Yuanyuan was not happy about this, but the prince really refused. She had to go back to Beijing. She was helpless. If she stayed outside again If she got hurt, her father would blame others, so Su Yuanyuan had no choice but to accept it. She couldn't be too willful either. Su Yuanyuan also wanted to know the current progress of the disaster relief efforts, so she asked Dongmei and Rumei to go and find out. Su Yuanyuan left Yue'er on night watch and went into the space. She finally took a comfortable bath, made some of her favorite light dishes, such as shrimp, and prepared 50,000 yuan in silver notes, which would be useful tomorrow. Then she slept comfortably in her own bed, stretched her arms and legs, and it was so comfortable. Su Yuanyuan woke up naturally and realized that she must have overslept. "Yue'er, what time is it now?"

"Master, it's already noon, Xia Mei and the others are back, we can go back to Beijing together." Yue'er was saying.

"Princess, please get up now. Hurry up and have some breakfast." Xia Mei pushed the door open and Chun Mei and Qiu Mei came in carrying breakfast.

"Alright, let's serve the princess breakfast. You should pack your things quickly so we don't get delayed." Dongmei came in and ordered, "Princess, are Yulin and the others going back to the capital with us? I'll have someone notify them."

"Okay, go ahead and do it, Dongmei. Go and invite Lord Su over. This princess has something to discuss with him." Su Yuanyuan got up, washed and dressed, and thought about the 100,000 taels of silver.

Having eaten at night, he wasn't very hungry anymore. When someone announced that Lord Su was coming, he put down his chopsticks in due time and said, "Your humble servant greets the princess. Is your injury okay?"
