The fiery sunset hung silently in the western sky, dyeing all the surrounding clouds red, as if they had been burned by fire. Please use this site. The orange-red sunlight shone on the vermilion palace walls of the Daxiang Dynasty, making the already magnificent palace extraordinarily bright.

"Ah, it's so beautiful!" In the palatial palace, from time to time there were excited screams of girls.

However, not everyone is a fan of this extremely gorgeous view.

"Is this the so-called return to the light......" In a delicate pavilion within the palace walls, a girl in a purple dress looked at the palace hall, which was even brighter than usual, and muttered in a low voice, "I really want to see the outside world!" ”

This somewhat unusual girl is called Xiang Yantian, the eleventh daughter of Xiang Batian, the fourth emperor of the Daxiang Dynasty. Although she is a princess, she seems to hate the aristocratic life in the palace from the bottom of her heart.

Ten years ago, she watched her mother be killed, although she finally escaped the catastrophe and did not die, but after going to her mother's care and love, she finally saw clearly the open and secret battles in the court. Therefore, in the past ten years, she gradually developed an inexplicable sense of rejection for life in the palace, hoping to stay away from this place of right and wrong. Although I don't understand why the other party finally gave up the pursuit, after all, the grass has not been eradicated. But she is still determined to leave this place that makes her feel frightened and indifferent, to find the kind of free life she sees in the book, and to find the power to find out the truth about her mother's death.

Looking up at the sky, she exhaled a little abruptly, and her bright eyes showed a look of determination......

It's just that she didn't know that at this time, on top of a high-rise pavilion not far from her, a middle-aged man in a golden dragon robe was silently looking at her. A tear fell from the corner of his eye, and he muttered: "Yan'er, don't blame your father ......"

Walking on the garden path leading to his room, Xiang Yantian suddenly felt the back of his neck tingle, and then his eyes became pitch black and unconscious.

Half an hour later, when she woke up, she found herself in her bed, and her mind seemed to go blank. She felt as if she had been dreaming for a long time, but she couldn't remember what it was. She only remembers now that her name is Xiang Yantian, the daughter of the emperor of the Daxiang Dynasty, and her mother died of illness ten years ago. Now, what she wants to do is to abscond out of the palace as much as possible and go to the rivers and lakes she has longed for for a long time.

It was also a sunset, at the gate of the palace of the Daxiang Dynasty, a column of soldiers was patrolling back and forth. The heavy iron boots clattered on the ground, and the heavy armor rubbed against each other, but the scene looked a little sluggish in the warm sunset.

Behind the huge vermilion palace gate, Xiang Yantian, who was wearing a purple dress, was hiding there quietly, not daring to make a sound. Standing behind the palace gate, Xiang Yantian could see the situation outside through the crack in the door. At this time, her body was trembling constantly because she was too nervous, and a pair of snow-white fists were slowly clenched in her sleeves. Biting her lower lip tightly to prevent herself from making a sound, she knew that the Praetorian Guards outside were all carefully selected masters, and they would never let go of any movement.

The long wait had covered her smooth forehead with a fine layer of sweat, and a strand of hair soaked with sweat stuck to her cheeks, she looked like she had a different kind of beauty at the moment.

"Damn! What benefits did their father give them to make them work so hard? Seeing columns of Praetorian Guards walking in front of him, Xiang Yantian, who had already lost his patience by the extremely monotonous waiting, gritted his teeth fiercely and complained in his heart.

The boring wait continued, and Xiang Yantian forced himself to calm down, carefully observing the Praetorian Guards who were constantly patrolling back and forth, hoping to seize a gap and sneak out of the palace quietly.

Wait, wait, wait...... Finally, when a column of Praetorian Guards left the palace gates, she did not find any more Praetorian Guards returning.

"Hah, I finally got my chance!" A smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she cheered in her heart.

She lifted the corners of her skirt with both hands and took a deep breath, she planned to seize this opportunity to rush over in one go. As long as they break through the cordon of the Praetorian Guard, they will not be able to do anything. As the princess of the Daxiang Dynasty, she is still very clear about the rule that the Praetorian Guards of the Daxiang Dynasty are not allowed to leave her guard area without authorization.

It's just that when she just poked her head out and was about to rush forward, her eyes suddenly widened. Because she found that there was another column of Praetorian Guards not far away, slowly walking towards the palace gate. So she quickly retracted her head, which had just stretched out of the palace gate, and hid in the corner behind the palace gate in one step, holding her breath and not daring to make a sound.

She didn't relent until the line of guards walked by. The slender snow-white right hand wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead, and she let out a long breath: "It turned out that it was just a shift change, it's really dangerous, and you have to be careful next......"

Columns of Praetorian Guards walked back and forth in front of the palace gate with neat steps, but they didn't know that a pair of eyes were silently watching them in the darkness at this time.

Behind the palace gate, Xiang Yan leaned on the crack of the door and carefully watched the every move of the Praetorian Guards outside the door. At this time, she put 120 percent of her energy into it, and she would not act rashly until she found a time when she really thought it was safe. It's just that her current appearance is indeed a little ugly. At this time, if there is someone who is usually very close to her, she will be surprised. Because she looks like a thief now, even if her appearance is still so delicate and beautiful, she has completely lost the noble and elegant feeling she usually has.

Wait, wait, wait...... It's a really uncomfortable feeling to be alone in a dark corner. Yawning slightly, she gently rubbed her already tired eyes.

"Well, it seems that it is impossible to succeed today......" She looked up at the sunset on the horizon, and sighed deeply in her heart.

However, just as she was about to give up, a figure dressed in black flashed away from her field of vision. What happened ensuing is something that everyone can imagine.

"There are assassins, but they don't chase them yet!" A rather feminine voice sounded over the walls of the palace. Immediately, a young man dressed in white with strange silver hair jumped from the city wall.

This person Xiang Yantian knows, she is very impressed by him, and he belongs to the kind of person who is unforgettable just by looking at it. This person is very handsome, and his background is very mysterious, it is said that her father found a master from the rivers and lakes, and served as the commander of the Praetorian Guard in the palace.

The Praetorian Guard soldiers were apparently trained to be fairly disciplined and would not have the slightest suspicion of their superiors' orders. As soon as the man's words fell, the soldiers in heavy armor chased in the direction where the previous figure had disappeared. After all the soldiers had left, the silver-haired man followed behind and left the palace gate. It's just that before he left, he glanced meaningfully at the slightly opened gap in the palace door, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The moment he was stared at by the silver-haired man, Xiang Yantian felt that his little heart seemed to tremble violently.

"It's okay, don't scare yourself, he must not have found ......out," she patted her chest lightly, comforting herself, "now is a good opportunity to escape from the palace!" ”

Gently pushing open the heavy palace door, she poked out half of her head slightly, carefully looked left and right, and after making sure that there was not a single patrolling soldier, she lifted the corner of her skirt and slipped out cautiously.

After rushing out of the distance, she stopped. Wiping the beads of sweat from her forehead, looking at the sunset that was slowly sinking in the west, and the clouds that were dyed red by the sunset, she didn't care about the eyes of passers-by, she let out a long breath and exclaimed, "I'm finally out!! ”

Although this is not the first time she has walked out of the palace, it is the first time that she has truly walked out of the palace of her own will. Recalling that in the past, she was surrounded by everyone and went out of the palace, and the feeling of not being able to act on her own will and restraining her hands and feet was really difficult for her to endure anymore.

Glancing back at the magnificent palace looming in the distance, an excitement rose in her heart that she had finally left the dark cage. She made a decision to go outside, just like the chivalrous in the book, and it was better not to return to the place that left her with memories of fear.

With a heartfelt smile on her face, she walked forward with brisk steps......
