The Princess of Northern Land
Chapter 738: See Again (7)_1

"Rest assured, Princess of Ling, there’s nothing wrong with your throat. To avoid unnecessary trouble, we made you uncomfortable along the way," the man replied after understanding her meaning, and explained with a smile, "Anyhow, you and I have met before. I will definitely not hurt the princess. The reason for inviting the princess to North Country this time is purely because my master wishes to recall past memories with the Princess of Ling."

Recall past memories? Lin Ziyin quickly visualized a young man’s face. Indeed, it’s not worth being a good person. Her momentary kindness at the market place back then has brought her such a big trouble now.

Looking at the man opposite her, she was certain who had kidnapped her. Thinking of that young man, her heart settled down.

She believed that Chu Suifeng would be able to find her soon and take her back to Feng City.

Now calm, Lin Ziyin began to stretch her muscles and took the opportunity to look around.

Endless mountains covered in white snow stretched across her vision. Some green pine branches were vaguely visible, giving the area a touch of life.

After clearly seeing her surroundings, Lin Ziyin was taken aback.

She was ’familiar’ with the mountains in front of her. She had seen them many times on the map in Chu Suifeng’s study during her days in Border City. She didn’t expect that she would have to cross this mountain range today.

Thinking of the complexity of the mountain ranges, her heart sank slightly. Just by sleeping, she woke up to a completely different world. From Feng City to Border City, it took almost seven days for her to travel by carriage under normal circumstances; by calculating the time and distance, it could be inferred that she had been unconscious for around four days.

Many things could happen in four days.

Lin Ziyin could imagine how frantic Chu Suifeng must be at this moment!

Indeed, Chu Suifeng was indeed very frantic.

The Consort Yu at the residence had failed to get any useful information from Li Yanran’s mouth, but he received some news.

"The Princess was indeed in Li Yanran’s carriage that day. Possibly due to the presence of the prince, the guards in black armor may not have searched thoroughly, thus she managed to slip by," Si Jinhan reported nonchalantly. "Li Yanran probably wanted to imprison her in her own estate and torment her. However, the carriage that was sending the Princess took a turn and headed straight for Border City. Most likely, Li Yanran still believes that the Princess is hiding in her estate."

"After the princess was taken out of the residence, three groups of people arrived. One group was definitely the Tatars, the other should be Blackie’s people. The origin of the other group is unclear," Luo Yan said with a heavier tone. "If I’m not mistaken, it should be people from Changchun Country. "

"Prince, now that people from Changchun Country are involved, the Princess’s life is safe for a short period of time. Keep an eye on Changchun Country," Situ Gong advised with a frown.

Luo Yan nodded, "Changchun Country’s involvement is likely due to the Crown Prince. Given the Emperor of Changchun Country’s cautious nature, he would never get involved in such a conflict."

"It’s hard to say," Situ Gong shook his head, "The weather and terrain in Changchun Country and the Northern Land are similar. For the development of Changchun Country, it’s worth taking a risk."

"Do they dare?" A vicious look flashed in Si Jinhan’s eyes.

Situ Gong shook his head, "In the face of interest, even the timid can kill."

Originally thinking it was just the North Country at work, Chu Suifeng didn’t expect there would be so many twists. His expression was incredibly serious.

"Based on the timing, the Princess must have arrived in Border City. Even if we push our speed to the limits, we won’t be able to catch up." With a voice full of murderous intent and coldness, he said, "Set Border City’s garrison on high alert, I will personally go."

None of Situ Gong, Si Jinhan and others objected.

Regardless of how important the Princess of Ling was to the Northern Land, even considering Lin Ziyin’s current status, they would spare no effort to rescue her.

The path on the mountain was exceptionally difficult to walk on. Besides being steep, the heavy snow, strong winds, and the ancient trees made it challenging to move forward.

Lin Ziyin’s treatment was relatively good; she was riding on a large white horse, wrapped in a thick fur blanket, almost buried in cotton. Even so, Lin Ziyin still felt her blood was about to freeze.

Her physique was naturally cold, and she was fearful of the cold. In such a place as the Northern Land, she was not very fond of.

But now, she was a prisoner, it was not up to her whether to go or not.

Fortunately, they found a sheltered place to spend the night in the evening. Lin Ziyin was helped off the horse by a woman.

"Princess, rest here tonight. Please forgive us for the poor conditions. After crossing these mountains, things will get better," Bayan said rather bluntly.

Lin Ziyin nodded, not wanting to talk more. After all, she was in their hands; she had to bear whatever they said.

Perhaps her cooperative attitude pleased Bayan, so she heard Bayan instruct the Northern Country woman who was supporting Lin Ziyin solemnly, "Tana, take more fur blankets and spread them on the ground."
