Chapter 192 The Princess's Embroidered Robe Has Come to Life!!!

"Husband~"

He was being held by the waist, crying and calling for her husband. The person was a beautiful girl, her tears falling like raindrops. Zhengze was so startled that he let go of the sword in his hand, and the sword fell to the ground. He didn't care at all. His eyes fell on the girl in his arms, and he was completely at a loss.

"Miss... um... um, I'm not married... You've mistaken me for someone else, haven't you?"

Two red clouds floated up on Zhengze's face, shyness and embarrassment alternating on his face. His body remained in the position when he was pounced on, somewhat stiff and uncomfortable.

Yu Liu slowly lowered her sleeves, also taken aback by the scene. Judging from the man's reaction, he probably didn't recognize this princess... The way he rushed up so excitedly, and the way his voice was so melodious and full of stories, this princess... is no ordinary person!

"Husband~" After finally crying her fill, the princess sobbed as she nestled in Zhengze's arms. She looked up and met Yuliu's gaze, who had been standing silently, too afraid to run away. For some reason, even though it was just a piece of clothing, the princess could sense a strange look emanating from it. She shivered and shrank even closer into Zhengze's embrace: "I'm scared~~"

What they're afraid of is self-evident.

Zhengze patted her helplessly. Although he knew that this girl had nothing to do with him, he couldn't help but soften and awkwardly comforted her, "Don't be afraid, I'll take her in right away!"

She had completely forgotten her earlier struggle.

Upon seeing this, Yu Liu lost all interest in the princess's strange attitude. She tiptoed to run away, the sides of her skirt resembling human feet. Although her running posture was somewhat odd, it did not hinder her speed.

Upon seeing Yu Liu escape, and recalling the results of his divination, Zheng Ze no longer cared about the princess. He gently pried open the princess's hands that were tightly holding him, and with a light touch of his toes, his figure became graceful and ethereal.

"The evildoer goes away!"

Yu Liu fled towards the open door, intending to leave first and find a place to hide, at least to figure out the situation here and why she had come here.

However, after stepping over the threshold, Yu Liu's entire embroidered dress froze.

Seeing that Yu Liu had stopped, Zheng Ze was a little puzzled, but now was a good opportunity to seize this strange "clothing monster". He immediately made a hand seal, and a golden rope flew out from the wide sleeve of his Taoist robe and flew towards Yu Liu with a "whoosh".

Just as Yu Liu was about to be bound by the rope, a red whip suddenly flew rapidly from afar, grabbing Yu Liu before the yellow rope could reach her and dragging her away.

The rope, having lost its target, did not cease its attack, passing straight through the door and binding a royal guard leader clad in armor.

The Imperial Guard leader, still somewhat dazed from the sight of the moving clothes, didn't react immediately upon being bound. It wasn't until the ropes tightened and he felt the suffocating sensation that he finally snapped out of it, his face contorted with obvious anger: "Who dares to be so insolent in the palace?! Guards!! Seize him!!"

"Yes!!"

The nearly one hundred Imperial Guards soldiers who had surrounded him behind him responded in unison, reached into their waistbands, and pulled out small crossbow bolts, aiming them at Zhengze, who was still in a hand seal posture.

"……put!"

The leader uttered this single word, and the golden rope tightened further and further, making it difficult for him to breathe.

The Imperial Guards obeyed the order and simultaneously released the mechanisms in their hands.

"call out--"

The crossbow bolts pierced the air, creating a series of whooshing sounds.

Zhengze hadn't expected so many Imperial Guards to surround the door without him noticing, and he was momentarily annoyed that he hadn't sensed anything. When he heard the crossbow bolts whistling through the air, he remained calm. His hands moved in a series of hand seals, and in the next instant, the golden rope binding the Imperial Guard leader suddenly released him, blocking the doorway. The rope taut as if being pulled, then began to spin rapidly.

All the incoming crossbow bolts were blocked by the golden rope, and for a moment, the clanging sound was incessant.

"Sword comes——"

Taking advantage of the moment when the crossbow bolts were blocked, Zhengze changed his hand seals again. He whispered a call, and the longsword that had fallen to the ground rose up and flew towards him.

"point!"

The longsword split into two, then into four, and so on, becoming more and more numerous.

Zhengze separated his hands, which had been joined together in a hand seal, and each hand maintained a hand seal posture: "Watch my offense and defense in one!!"

The conjured longswords all rushed out, some attacking the incoming crossbow bolts, while others directly attacked the Imperial Guards present, targeting their abdomens.

"puff--"

"what--"

The sound of a longsword piercing flesh mingled with screams, completely illuminating the entire palace.

Compared to his subordinates, the Imperial Guard leader was clearly more skilled. Facing the incoming longsword, he drew his own sword from his waist and parried.

The two swords clashed, and the conjured sword vanished instantly, while the Imperial Guard leader's sword broke in two.

The Imperial Guard leader glanced at the broken sword in his hand and instantly realized that his men were no match for the person inside: "Someone! Go and fetch Lord Lan!"

"don't want--"

Before the Imperial Guard leader could finish speaking, the princess, her face streaked with tears, ran out of the house. She shielded Zhengze behind her, her eyes pleading as she looked at the Imperial Guard leader.

"General Wang, don't go and invite Lord Lan, he's a good man!"

"A good person?" General Wang narrowed his eyes, his gaze reflecting the fleeting tension Zhengze had just displayed. He gave a cold laugh: "Princess, do you know what you're saying?"

"In the dead of night, he appeared alone in His Majesty's harem, and even in Your Highness's room..." General Wang's tone suddenly became unhurried, "Hmph, Princess, please stop joking. Quickly step aside so we can apprehend this thief!!"

"No—husband, run away!!!"

Whether the princess was genuinely foolish or pretending, she suddenly shouted this at Zhengze behind her.

"Husband?" General Wang was even more shocked this time: "If I remember correctly, Princess, you have only just come of age this year, and the Emperor has not yet arranged a marriage for you, has he?"

General Wang's question was merely a casual remark. He was, of course, fully aware of the situation regarding the eldest princess, and the current situation seemed to have become somewhat difficult to handle.

General Wang turned around and gave him a wink. Immediately, a soldier clutching his stomach understood and quietly slipped out.

Zhengze clearly hadn't expected the princess to call him "husband" in public. It was too late to object; he could only silently consider the consequences. Breaking into the palace and secretly pledging his life to the princess was a capital offense. That last burst of energy had almost completely drained him; if he didn't leave now, he might lose his life.
