Coming out of the study, I was still a little dazed, with Cuihua carefully supporting me.

There was the sound of porcelain breaking behind me, blood from my temple slid into my eyes, I blinked, tilted my head back, and fainted.

Cuihua shouted in a panic, and when I woke up, I was already in bed.

Cuihua handed me a bowl: "Miss, you're awake, drink the medicine quickly. Thanks to Madam this time, she promptly called the doctor for you."

I frowned, took the bowl, looked at the dark medicine inside, and chuckled, "Is she really so kind? Could it be poisoned?"

"Miss, this medicine was personally fetched by me from the pharmacy, I asked around, it's for treating illnesses, so rest assured." Cuihua assured, patting her chest.

I glanced out the window, watching the head quickly retracting, a cold smile played on my lips, I lowered my head and drank the medicine in the bowl.

The Fifth Prince learned that I was sick and sent someone to secretly check on me.

I coughed severely, and when he saw it, he put down the gift and left, never to return.

When Princess Zhaoping came to visit me, I grabbed the blood-stained handkerchief, glared at her, "You wretch! Was it you, did you do something?"

"An'er, I am your mother, how could I harm you, you really have gone mad." Princess Zhaoping took out a handkerchief, wiped away non-existent tears from the corner of her eye, and left with a smile.

Cuihua closed the door, I immediately breathed a sigh of relief, elated, "Did I act convincingly?"

Cuihua nodded, throwing the blood-stained handkerchiefs into the brazier, "Master has already arranged everything, in a few days, you will fake your death and leave the capital first, I will follow later."

I hesitated for a moment, gritted my teeth, "Going to the border was my idea, maybe you shouldn't go, after all, swords have no eyes, if something were to happen..."

Cuihua shook her head, "Wherever you are, I'll be there."

I looked at her intently, she looked determined, I could only compromise and agree.

After taking the pill, I quickly lost consciousness, and it was Cuihua who woke me up.

She supported me all the way north, teaching me life-saving techniques along the way, as well as killing skills.

With Xiaorun's protection, I quickly joined the military camp.

With that fearless spirit, I rose through the ranks, while Cuihua disguised herself, mingling among the common people, raising carrier pigeons to communicate with people in the capital.

These days continued for five years, and I successfully rose to the position of deputy general by the side of the Grand Marshal.

It was then that I learned the Grand Marshal and Xiaorun were from the same hometown, both from noble families.

When the Emperor sent Princess Zhaoping to settle the noble families, his parents did not escape.

Thanks to Xiaorun's secret help, he concealed his identity, fled all the way to the border, and after ten years, climbed to his current position.

When the secret message came from the border, he originally intended to go himself.

But in the past two years, the border had just stabilized, although he had family feuds, he was also a general and had to be responsible for the soldiers and the people under his command.

Therefore, he couldn't leave.

I smiled, "General, rest assured, if successful, I will bring that traitor's head to you."

He patted my shoulder, letting me lead half of the troops, and we rushed towards the direction of the capital.

When I arrived, Princess Zhaoping had just led the Imperial Guards into the palace.

The defense of the capital was weak, coupled with the token issued by the Crown Prince, I easily led the army into the city.

Xiaorun was escorting the Crown Prince outside the palace gate, and when he saw me, he smiled.

"Your Highness has suffered." He released the Crown Prince, bowing politely.

The Imperial Guards guarding the palace gate were shocked, about to go in to report.

I raised my hand, an arrow pierced through the heart, and the soldiers behind immediately subdued the others.

I rolled my eyes at Xiaorun, "Enough with the formalities."

"I am here on the Crown Prince's orders to rescue you." I raised the tiger tally in my hand, leading the others to charge into the palace.

Princess Zhaoping, holding the imperial decree, walked out of the main hall joyfully, and ran into me.
