After being reborn, I went on a killing spree in the imperial court.

After all that was done, it gradually got light.

At this moment, she could finally relax and walked shakily toward the horse. Suddenly, her legs gave way, she felt a sharp pain in her chest, and she spat out a mouthful of black blood.

"Poisoned again!"

Cao Yuan touched the broken arrow in her chest. It seemed that the arrow had long since grown into her flesh, and she felt no pain at all.

She quickly and carefully wrapped General Liu's sword in cloth and hung it on her horse.

They mounted their horses and headed towards Liucheng.

Not long after Cao Yuan left, two figures on horseback hurriedly arrived.

Xuanfeng dismounted and examined General Liu's tombstone.

"Your Highness, the paper money hasn't finished burning yet, so the princess shouldn't have been gone for long."

Malay seemed to hear the commotion outside, and a surge of survival instinct rose within him, causing him to fidget restlessly.

Xuanfeng seemed to hear a sound and ran to an unburied coffin. After listening, he found that there was indeed movement inside. He then pried open the coffin, and the horrific scene inside left him speechless.

Xuanfeng looked at Chu Yan in horror.

"Did the princess make this? This is just too..."

"How long can he live in this state?" Chu Yan showed no intention of dismounting to check on him; he turned his head away, not wanting to see the disgusting scene.

"Not much blood was lost." Xuanfeng turned to Chu Yan as if he had discovered something, "Your Highness! The princess avoided the bleeding areas; she must have learned it from you!"

"I never expected the princess to use your technique in this way. It increases the enemy's suffering without killing them! Brilliant!"

Chu Yan didn't have time to listen to Xuan Feng's praise and said directly, "Hang him on the city tower of Chen and make him endure for seven days! I'll go find A Yuan myself!"

Chu Yan rode away immediately.

"Hey! Your Highness, please be careful!"

Xuanfeng smirked, "I have to do this disgusting thing again!"

As Cao Yuan walked further, her vision became increasingly blurry, whether from the arrow wound or from not having slept for three days.

The road had gradually deviated from the road to Liucheng, and Cao Yuan had no idea where she was. She could only rely on her keen hearing to find her way.

Suddenly a group of soldiers surrounded them, and judging from the footsteps, there was more than one person.

"Look! Isn't that the princess of Wei? She's injured!"

The Shu soldiers all drew their swords and surrounded Cao Yuan. "Brothers, let's capture her alive! If we take her, the Fifth Prince will promote us and make us rich!"

Cao Yuan's already blurry vision became even more indistinct, as if shrouded in mist. Gritting his teeth, he forced his seemingly collapsing will to hold on tightly to General Liu's sharp blade, resolutely engaging in fierce combat with the surging enemy.

Already severely injured, she was now facing an attack from this group, and her predicament was indescribable. Every swing of her knife seemed to exhaust all her strength, and her wounds deepened with each fight, blood slowly flowing and soaking her clothes.

Finally, Cao Yuan could no longer hold on and knelt on one knee. She still gripped General Liu's knife tightly in her hand, panting heavily. One hand clutched her aching chest, and a look of despair and anger flashed in her eyes.

"What kind of princess is she! Is that all she's capable of!"

These words, uttered by the Shu soldiers, carried a deep sense of sarcasm.

She never imagined that she would end up in such a sorry state. She thought she would fall into the hands of the Chen Kingdom, but she never expected it would be the Shu army!

Even so, the indomitable spirit deep within her did not dissipate. She slowly stood up, a resolute light rekindling in her eyes. Even if she were to die, she would die a worthy death.

Fighting with her last breath against the Shu army, Cao Yuan was stabbed twice by Lao Qiang, blood flowing down the blades. At that moment, a soldier behind her kicked her like a wolf, the immense force instantly causing Cao Yuan to lose her balance again.

She felt as if her internal organs had shifted, and the intense pain made her vision go black for a moment, with a trace of blood spilling from the corner of her mouth.

Then came another kick, and Cao Yuan staggered backward without noticing that there was a cliff behind her.

Cao Yuan closed her eyes resignedly, thinking to herself, "If I had known my loved ones would end up like this, why did Heaven give me a second chance at life? Perhaps I should have died long ago."

Let's end all of this!

Cao Yuan lost her balance and fell downwards.

Suddenly, a hand grabbed hers from the cliff.

Cao Yuan opened her eyes, but her vision was blurry and she could only see a blurry face.

"Ah Yuan!"

Hearing the voice, she became much more alert, and only then did she realize that the person was Chu Yan!

“Chu… Yan!” Cao Yuan whispered.

"Ah Yuan, hold on! I'll pull you up, give me your other hand!"

Chu Yan extended his other hand to her.

"Leave me alone! I should have died long ago!"

"No! I didn't hold your hand last time, but I won't let go this time!" Chu Yan gripped Cao Yuan's hands tightly, sweat dripping from his forehead onto her hands, and the veins on his neck bulging.

Cao Yuan's heart trembled. So, from that moment on, she already had a place in his heart! Tears streamed down her cheeks.

pity!

"My maternal grandfather is dead! General Liu is dead too! I can't change anything!"

Upon seeing this, the Shu soldiers moved forward a few steps. "It's His Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Wasn't His Highness the Crown Prince at a camp near Chen? How did he end up here?"

The Shu soldiers discussed the matter with suspicion.

"Chu Yan, you didn't keep your promise to me! Farewell!"

Seeing the soldiers behind Chu Yan, Cao Yuan didn't want to be a burden to him, so she forcefully shook off his hand and fell down.

"Ah Yuan!"

Before Chu Yan could react, he jumped down with her.

A massive, dark mass of Wei soldiers surged forward like a tidal wave. They were menacing, their weapons gleaming coldly, and they charged forward with boundless killing intent.

At this moment, Fan Qingli, who was leading the way, was covered in blood. He wielded his long sword and fought his way down one enemy after another until he finally carved a bloody path and headed straight for the edge of the cliff.

When he arrived, he found it was too late.

Looking at the empty cliff, Fan Qing felt as if her heart was being torn apart, her face filled with resentment and despair.

He clenched his fists tightly, veins bulging, and shouted loudly down the cliff, "Your Highness!"

"Your Majesty!"

The two fell into the lake from the cliff and were carried by the current, which soon brought them to the shore.

Cao Yuan seemed to still have a breath left. She regained some consciousness and looked at Chu Yan, who was not far from her, with blurry eyes.

She looked at Chu Yan in confusion. Why?

Why be so stupid!

She crawled over with difficulty, reached out her hand to Chu Yan, and had countless questions in her mind to ask him.

Then everything went black, and he lost consciousness.

After an unknown amount of time, an old man in hemp clothing walked up to them, looked them over carefully, and let out a long sigh.
