As they spoke, the two were about to step forward and attack Li Mengdie.
Individually, neither of these two Brocade-Clad Guards was a match for Li Mengdie.
But if they joined forces, Li Mengdie would have no ability to resist.
Li Mengdie couldn't help but curse inwardly and quickly waved her hand, saying, "Wait, if you tie me up, aren't you afraid I'll bite my tongue and commit suicide?"
The two Brocade-Clad Guards shook their heads and said, "We can just stuff Li Mengdie's mouth with burlap, Your Highness."
As they spoke, they didn't stop their actions and were about to rush towards Li Mengdie.
Li Mengdie couldn't help but be startled. As she retreated, she said, "Wait, if you dare to lay a hand on me, do you believe I'll bite my tongue and commit suicide right now?"
Saying this, Li Mengdie stuck out her tongue and flicked it at the two of them, then made a gesture as if to bite it.
The two Brocade-Clad Guards quickly raised their hands to stop her: "Wait, Princess, don't bite."
They were both startled and quickly stopped her.
Their movements also stopped, and they dared not take another step forward.
They weren't fools. If they had rushed forward like that and Li Mengdie had truly died, they would have been punished.
Even though they were just characters gifted to Chu Chen by the system, they possessed complete personalities and thoughts. It was just that a deeply ingrained imprinted thought had been planted in their minds: loyalty to Chu Chen.
If Li Mengdie died, they would not forgive themselves.
Li Mengdie snorted lightly, feeling a little smug. She had found their weakness.
"I can choose not to bite my tongue and commit suicide, but you have to promise me that you'll allow me to go out for some fresh air, understand?"
The two Brocade-Clad Guards hesitated for a moment, then walked to the side together.
"Taking the Princess out for some fresh air should be fine. After all, we have people all around."
"I'm just worried that someone might come here and discover the whereabouts of Princess Liu Wang, which could cause trouble."
"That's just a worry, it might not happen. But I can be sure that if we don't let Princess Liu Wang out for some fresh air, she might very well die right in front of us."
"Since that's the case, then we can only take the risk. Go and tell the outside guards to add several more layers of encirclement. Make sure Princess Liu Wang has absolutely no chance of escaping."
One of the Brocade-Clad Guards immediately left the small courtyard to relay the message outside. Li Mengdie was practically bursting with joy.
When the Brocade-Clad Guard returned, he exchanged nods with the guards who remained, and then led Li Mengdie out of the small courtyard.
"Princess, we promised to let you out, but you must also keep your word and not run away again. Otherwise, we wouldn't dare to take such a risk again."
The Brocade-Clad Guard, wielding a willow leaf saber, said in a deep voice.
Li Mengdie smiled and waved her hand, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I won't make things difficult for you."
Hearing this, the two Brocade-Clad Guards breathed a sigh of relief. Whether Li Mengdie would truly act as she said or not, at least her words were reassuring.
"By the way, I need to come out like this every day to relax. I won't go far. I was too stifled staying inside before."
Li Mengdie said as if it were nothing.
Hearing this, the two Brocade-Clad Guards couldn't help but feel a headache.
"Princess Liu Wang, letting you out this once is already our utmost effort. How can you be so greedy?"
Li Mengdie glanced at them and said, "What? You locked me up for so long before, can't you let me have a few more days of freedom?"
The two of them opened their mouths, wanting to speak but stopping themselves, saying nothing.
Li Mengdie snorted lightly, "Don't worry, I won't run away. At most, I'll be out for half a month, and then I won't come out when I'm in a better mood."
The two Brocade-Clad Guards looked incredulous, "Half a month? Princess, are you planning to live out here?"
Li Mengdie rolled her eyes at the two of them, "If you're not willing, I'll bite my tongue right now and show you. Do you believe me?"
Saying this, Li Mengdie opened her mouth and prepared to bite down. The two of them couldn't help but be startled.
"Princess, forget it, we agree. Princess, you must keep your word and not be untrustworthy."
The two Brocade-Clad Guards didn't want any more trouble. It was just fresh air outside anyway, so a few more days wouldn't matter. It would be best to solve the problem once and for all.
Li Mengdie couldn't communicate with the outside world. Even if she were allowed out for fresh air, it wouldn't affect the overall situation.
Having obtained the agreement of the two Brocade-Clad Guards, Li Mengdie began to frolic in the open field outside the small courtyard.
"Before, being a princess, I was always scheming and backstabbing, and I never felt any joy. Now that I'm not competing and have leisure time, I'm much happier than before."
Li Mengdie walked through a sea of flowers, looking at the surrounding blossoms. The fragrance filled the air, making her feel refreshed and invigorated.
At the same time, a group of people also arrived at Mengdie County. They dismounted one after another, put on disguises, and in the blink of an eye, they transformed into farmers.
"Princess Liu Wang was captured here. Even if she escaped, she probably wouldn't have gone far. She might have been placed under house arrest by that brat Chu Chen, somewhere near Mengdie County."
"That's right. Searching here is our most likely chance of finding her. I heard some people are going to look in the Xiongnu, some in the State of Chen, and some in the State of Wei. It's hilarious."
"I heard some are even going to Western countries, called Persia. Do you think these guys will die on the road?"
"That's not necessarily true. The telescopes we brought this time are said to have come from Persia. They are very precious. If it weren't for this important matter, they wouldn't have taken them out."
As he spoke, a "farmer" took out a long telescope from his怀 and looked into the distance.
The others also took out their telescopes and looked into the distance.
"This thing is truly a treasure. It can make distant scenes so clear."
"Exactly. With this treasure, won't it be easy for us to find Princess Liu Wang? Alright, everyone, quickly hide your horses, then spread out. There might be people sent by that scoundrel Chu Chen here, and it's easy to be discovered if there are too many of us."
"If you find any reliable clues, return here immediately to report to your superior and gather forces."
A moment later, everyone dispersed, leaving only two people to guard the horses.
The place they chose was overgrown with trees and lush with grass, making it difficult for ordinary people to find even if they came here.
Not to mention, ordinary people would generally not take such small paths, which could be troublesome if they encountered bandits.
Li Mengdie used the excuse of going out for fresh air, but in reality, she hoped that someone with good intentions would come to find her and rescue her.
Those who came to rescue her might not be entirely good people, but at least they would have some overlapping interests with her. As long as there was a common ground of interest, cooperation was possible.
Just like before, to continue competing for the throne, she was willing to dedicate herself to Chu Chen.
