CHAPTER 1218: CHAPTER 1298: AS LONG AS MARSHAL BAOWEI IS STILL ALIVE

Guard Commander?

The four brothers of the Liang family furrowed their brows, then cautiously held their breath and remained motionless.

"This is following the Eighth Princess’s orders. There’s a rumor that the fruits of this Forest of Bewilderment possess miraculous effects. It’s said that the envoy who traveled overseas hundreds of years ago and brought back the Life fruit secretly collected seeds and planted them here."

The Life fruit is the bridal gift, and even the men of the Dayuan Dynasty can bear children because they consume it.

Liang Zhichen never imagined that his brothers would unexpectedly encounter someone from the Royal family on this trip.

The fruits of this Forest of Bewilderment do indeed have miraculous effects, with Zhichen and Shu Yu being the prime examples. If it weren’t for the natural bewilderment here, the secret of this place would have been uncovered long ago.

The Guard Commander said, "The situation is very unfavorable now. The Eighth Princess speculates that Marshal Baowei is still alive. If that’s the case, it’s only a matter of time before the two sides have a direct confrontation."

"The Eighth Princess wants us to gather these fruits not only to enhance combat readiness against the border and The Outside but also for Marshal Baowei."

"Marshal Baowei once served under the Ninth Princess. Now that the Ninth Princess has gone mad and is trapped in the Imperial Court, if Marshal Baowei is indeed alive, even if she doesn’t attack for now, she will undoubtedly march on the Imperial City in the future."

"Also, let’s not forget that Marshal Baowei has eighty thousand elite soldiers under her command, who are utterly loyal and follow her to the death!"

"Moreover, even if she intends to stay quiet, the Eighth Princess won’t leave her a path to live. So long as Marshal Baowei is alive, even if she doesn’t seek out the Eighth Princess, once the Eighth Princess learns of her whereabouts, there will definitely be conflict."

At this moment, another person suddenly understood, "So that’s how it is. But these fruits look strange, and their color is odd. It’s hard to say if they really are as miraculous as the rumors claim."

The Guard Commander added, "In any case, first do as the Eighth Princess instructed: pick all the fruits here and take them back to the Capital. Whether they are effective or not, it’s just some hard labor."

"Indeed, furthermore, these are the Eighth Princess’s orders. How could we possibly defy Her Highness’s commands?"

Zhichen held his breath and concentrated his thoughts. In just a short time, countless ideas raced through his mind.

The Eighth Princess, again the Eighth Princess.

Listening to what that ’Guard Commander’ said, it seemed his own wife was indeed the Eighth Princess’s greatest thorn.

Given the current situation, even if his wife had no intention of clashing with the Eighth Princess, with the Eighth Princess’s temperament, if she learned of his wife’s presence, she certainly wouldn’t allow her to remain alive.

With this thought, Liang Zhichen suddenly recalled Yixuan.

Before setting off, he had vaguely overheard something from Fengsu.

When his wife went out looking for them previously, Yixuan had secretly helped cover for her. Since it was ’covering,’ it meant Yixuan believed her whereabouts should not be leaked. Once known by certain people, it could lead to great danger.

The most likely person Yixuan was cautious of was the Eighth Princess in the Capital.

He pondered if Yixuan knew something, if he had learned something from somewhere.

His Little Liu was no longer the weak and incompetent person of the past. Furthermore, that Eighth Princess had once granted Little Liu’s Chuixue Manor a plaque titled ’Top One Villa In the World.’ If Little Liu truly had some means to obtain news from the Capital, it might not be impossible.

No matter what, the fruits of this Forest of Bewilderment must not be transported back to the Capital by those Royal Guards. Otherwise, wouldn’t it further enhance the Eighth Princess’s power?
