Chapter 627: Plan to Save the Princess
After nightfall, the eighth princess lay on the new bedding she brought from the villa, but she always felt a pungent smell around her, which made her toss and turn and unable to fall asleep, and her whole body was itchy.
"Is anyone there?" she called out, but there was silence outside the door and no one answered.
She called out again, but still got no response.
A trace of anger rose in his heart: "Are these servants all asleep?"
She pushed the door open suddenly, but found that there was no one outside and the maid who was guarding the door was nowhere to be found.
"What on earth happened?" The entire post station was immersed in deathly silence, without a sound.
The Eighth Princess stared into the dark corridor, feeling uneasy.
Suddenly, a figure staggered towards her: "Princess, run away..."
The Eighth Princess looked carefully and saw that it was her personal maid. She was covered in blood, her clothes were stained red, and her face was as pale as paper.
"Princess, the bandits are coming!" the maid said breathlessly, then fell down weakly.
"What did you say?" The Eighth Princess widened her eyes in horror.
But the maid was no longer able to respond and lay quietly on the ground. The air was filled with a faint smell of blood, and a pool of blood slowly accumulated on the floor.
The Eighth Princess took a step back, her legs weak: "How could this happen? Where did these bandits come from?"
There was noise and fire outside, accompanied by the sound of metal clashing.
"Kill them all! Leave the women for the brothers' enjoyment!" A rough voice echoed in the night sky, cold and ruthless.
The Eighth Princess turned pale with fear and her heartbeat accelerated. The bandits were really coming!
The general of the Imperial Guard had warned us before that this area was not peaceful and there were bandits who occupied the mountains and ruled as kings. I didn't expect that they would dare to attack the post station directly.
In a panic, the Eighth Princess decided to find the Imperial Guards: "They will protect me. They are the ones who will escort me back to the capital."
She carefully stepped over the maid's body and walked down the stairs step by step, each step filled with fear.
The air was filled with the smell of blood and burning, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.
The guards who were originally guarding downstairs disappeared, and the Eighth Princess' heart sank to the bottom.
Suddenly, a loud noise broke the silence, and a man covered in blood kicked open the door, with the sword in his hand still dripping with blood.
The eighth princess was terrified and turned around and ran to the back door of the post station. Although her legs were inconvenient, she was desperate to escape.
"Don't come over here, don't come over here..." She muttered to herself and ran forward desperately.
The surroundings were filled with the light of fire, screams and the sound of swords clashing, and the whole world seemed to be plunged into chaos.
The Eighth Princess was filled with fear and confusion. Today should have been the day for her to return to the palace and enjoy wealth and glory, but unfortunately she was attacked by bandits.
Beautiful pictures of the future kept flashing through her mind - after returning to the palace, she would become the focus of everyone's attention and enjoy endless glory and luxury.
However, the reality was cruel. She fled in panic and finally hid in a corner of the stable.
The pungent smell of rotten grass and horse manure filled the air, almost making her vomit.
At this moment, the chasing bandits rushed in with knives. The Eighth Princess held her breath, hid in the dark and dared not make a sound.
The bandits searched everywhere without success and were about to leave when the Eighth Princess made a sound because she could not stand the disgusting smell.
This movement immediately attracted the attention of the bandit, who approached with a sneer, "So you are here."
Faced with the threat, the Eighth Princess tried to use her identity to protect herself: "I am the Eighth Princess. If you dare to hurt me, my father will not let you off easily!"
But the bandits ignored her and snatched the jade pendant from her hand as evidence.
In desperation, the Eighth Princess offered a generous reward, just to save her life: "As long as you let me go, I can give you countless treasures, and even official positions and titles!"
The eighth princess stared at the man in front of her, praying silently in her heart that he would be moved by her words and gain his freedom.
"I am the real Eighth Princess. As long as you let me go, I will give you whatever you want after returning to the palace."
The man narrowed his eyes and looked at her carefully. His eyes first stopped at the fair face of the Eighth Princess, then slowly moved down to her slightly exposed skin.
Feeling this malicious gaze, the Eighth Princess trembled all over and cold sweat soaked her back.
A smile appeared on the man's lips, and a spark of desire gradually ignited in his eyes.
"You said you were the eighth princess?"
"Yes, I really am!"
The Eighth Princess nodded eagerly, trying to convince the other party: "As long as you promise to let me go, I can fulfill any of your wishes."
Seemingly shaken, the man slowly put down the knife in his hand.
However, just when the Eighth Princess thought she had a glimmer of hope, the man suddenly reached out and grabbed her clothes, and with a "hiss", the clothes were torn.
"Ah!" The eighth princess screamed in horror and tried to step back, but she tripped and fell to the ground.
"What do you want to do!"
The man licked his lips and stared at her with greedy eyes: "Such delicate skin, I really want to taste it."
Faced with the threat and resistance from the Eighth Princess, the man not only did not back down, but became even more excited:
"Since you are the eighth princess, you must not miss it. Bandits like us have no chance of meeting a real princess."
Struggling in despair, the eighth princess kept shouting "No", but none of this could stop the man.
As her clothes were torn one by one and the feeling of cold spread throughout her body, her fear reached its peak.
The man laughed wildly and was about to take further action when suddenly -
The man's expression suddenly froze, his smile disappeared in an instant, blood flowed from his back, and he fell weakly on the Eighth Princess, without a sound.
The Eighth Princess screamed in horror: "No!"
Someone quickly moved the body that was on top of her away, and a cold voice rang out: "Girl, it's okay, he's dead."
The eighth princess was filled with fear and her body was shaking uncontrollably.
When I looked up, I saw a gentle, handsome man standing in front of me.
In the light of the fire, his face looked particularly warm, as if he was a savior walking out of the light.
The man took off his robe and gently draped it over the eighth princess' shoulders.
"Don't be afraid, girl. I won't hurt you." He comforted her softly.
The Eighth Princess felt a sense of warmth and wrapped her robe tightly around her to cover her exposed skin, while her eyes were fixed on the savior in front of her.
"who are you?"
"Girl, can you stand up? There are other bandits here. It's dangerous. Let me take you away."
As he spoke, he extended his hand to the Eighth Princess.
The eighth princess looked at his fair and slender hand, and after a little hesitation, she finally held it.
The man's hands were warm and strong. He held her hands tightly, giving her courage and peace of mind.
