The people of Xiao Wangfu followed the trace for a long time but lost the trace halfway. To find the whereabouts of the Crown Prince and Lin Wanting, they focused on the place where the two disappeared. Starting from there, they searched the place inch by inch… …
It took them two days and one night before they found the Crown Prince and Lin Wanting. The two fell into the cave.
The cave was very deep. The height was more than 20 meters long. People with no martial art skills will have a hard time to climb up. There were a lot of white bones piled in the cave, some of them were bones of wild animals. It can be seen that most of the people who fell died in the cave.
The Crown Prince was okay. In such a situation, he could remain calm, but Lin Wanting couldn’t do it, and she fainted.
The Crown Prince was in a dilemma, he was afraid to attract the assassins if he calls for help. So, he could only shrink his body into the cave and wait for someone to rescue him.
When the people of Xiao Wangfu found the two, they immediately cleaned up all traces along the way, to not let the other people find them. Because of this, the emperor’s search party took a lot of time.
They send this news to Su Cha and waited for his order. Another day had passed, the Crown Prince was cold and hungry in the cave, but no one seems to care about his life.
People will not die from hunger for two to three days.
The next afternoon, the people of Xiao Wangfu received an order from Su Cha to lead the Crown Prince to Princess Fushou Zhang’s Mansion.
“When it gets dark, we will disguise as imperial guards and rescue them.” Xiao Wangfu’s people immediately found a solution and went to find clothes.
The Crown Prince stayed in the cave for three days and two nights. Fortunately, Lin Wanting brought some food with her. Lin Wanting gave all the food to the Crown Prince, which allowed the Crown Prince to accumulate energy and not die in the cave.
On the third night of the Crown Prince’s disappearance, an ‘imperial guard’ finally found him.
“Your Highness, is that you? We will save you now.” The Imperial Guard, who was holding a torch, shouted at the Crown Prince in the cave.
“Yes, it’s me …” There was a faint shout from the Crown Prince in the cave.
Someone soon came down and pulled the Crown Prince together with Lin Wanting.
“Water, water… …” The Crown Prince was thirsty and hungry, he could see stars from dizziness.
After drinking water and eating some dry food, the Crown Prince reluctantly opened his eyes.
It was night, he couldn’t see the appearance of his rescuers. He could only see that they were wearing imperial guard’s clothes, and so he didn’t ask questions.
Seeing the Crown Prince didn’t have doubts, the fake imperial guards naturally didn’t open their mouths. After making sure that the two will not die, they carried them on their back out of the mountain.
At night in the mountains, there was only darkness, people couldn’t tell the directions. The Crown Prince naturally will not find out which way the ‘imperial guards’, who rescued him going into. And even if he didn’t see other rescuers after a long time, he didn’t ask questions.
The ‘imperial guard’ carrying the Crown Prince couldn’t help but wonder, how could the Crown Prince live this long even without a brain?
The Crown Prince was not in doubt, things went smoothly. The fake imperial guards walked to the remote places and avoid the crowd that was looking for the Crown Prince. After walking out of the woods, he said to the Crown Prince: “Your highness, it’s midnight, it’s unsafe to return to the capital. Why don’t you take a rest outside the capital and wait for the people in the capital to meet us?”
The Crown Prince was in a semi-conscious state at this time. When he heard the words of “imperial guard”, he said without thinking: “I remember that Aunt Fushou is staying outside the capital, let’s go to her place.”
The Crown Prince was very “cooperative” and doesn’t need the fake imperial guard to induce the plan. The fake imperial guard was speechless.
For the first time, they received such a simple task. It’s was… …
Not challenging at all!
