General Xuan got off the train. He looked at the dried up blood marks displayed by his eunuch.

“Who attacked Princess Wu Shuang ? Then how is the current condition of the princess ?”the general said he saw an arrow in the train.

Looking at the condition of the train that was already badly damaged General Xuan could deduce the current condition of the princess must have been fine.

“Everything's looking for princesses is. I'm sure it's not far from here.”pap General Xuan gave orders to his eunuchs.

“Good General Xuan.”reply the five eunuchs were in unison.

The five eunuchs immediately moved quickly and combed the area of the location. The eunuchs ran and some others jumped into the air.

In a matter of minutes they can comb the entire forest area.

“There are traces of blood here too.”tap a eunuch who found other traces of blood on the tree and some arrows scattered on the ground.

The eunuch then examined the dried blood marks.

“There were injured then and are here. But somehow now ?”the eunuch murmured hoping that the injured person was not Wu Shuang's daughter and that he might be safe.

Kasim Yifeng walked over and found a trace of the footprint of several people in front.

“Why are there so many traces here ? Is it possible that the Princess got an attack from some people ?”muttered eunuch Yifeng not only saw one footprint but there were eleven since the foot there.

Eunuch Yifeng continued walking to the end and stopped at the edge of the abyss. He looked around and found a sword there.

“This is Princess Wu Shuang's sword ?”eunuch Yifeng was surprised and picked up the sword earlier.

The eunuch then looked towards the abyss and found the abyss very deep and bottomless. He searched for traces of the princess but has since disappeared in the ravine.

“Could the princess fall into the abyss ?”pekik the eunuch. He also searched again to find the existence of the Princess but in vain.

Eunuch Yifeng then immediately returned to where general Xuan was.

“General I found Princess Wu Shuang's sword, but I lost track of it on the brink.”ucap eunuch Yifeng showed the sword he found to general Xuan.

General Xuan accepted the surgery and looked at it.

“Show me where did you find the princess's sword?”general Xuan said to ask the Eunuch to show him where he found the sword.

“Good General Xuan.”Answer eunuch Yifeng. He went back to the place where he found Princess Wu Shuang's sword along with the four other eunuchs.

General Xuan and the other eunuchs arrived at the edge of the abyss and looked at the bottomless abyss.

“If it falls into this bottomless abyss it is less likely to live. Only a miracle alone could save her.”ucap general Xuan after being convinced if the princess really fell there.

“I don't know how to pass this news on to your majesty.”pap General Xuan feels sad and pity for the fate of Princess Wu Shuang.

After a while, General Xuan decided to immediately exit the forest area and return to the palace to deliver the news they had just gotten.

“Come we should hurry back before dark.”ucap the general gave the order.

The five eunuchs went back to where they left their horses.

“clop... clop...clop...”the six men rode their horses and spurred the horses running quickly out of the forest.

“Hail your Majesty the servant has returned.”ucap General Xuan faced and saluted Emperor Luoying.

“General Xuan tell me what news you brought for me ?”the reply of the Luoying emperor immediately asked the news that his trusted General would deliver.

General Xuan took out a sword he had brought and showed it to the emperor.

“Your Majesty, I found Princess Wu Shuang's sword on the edge of the abyss. But the traces of the princess disappeared there.”ucap General Xuan explained.

“So you mean Princess Wu Shuang fell into the abyss ? But how could that happen to him ? He mastered martial arts as well as swordsmanship.” replied the Luoying emperor as if he could not believe what general Xuan had explained to him.

“The noble one seems to have some people chasing after Princess Wu Shuang and harming her.”clearly general Xuan who made the Emperor feel wrathful.

“Who would dare harm my daughter ? Investigate and find out who attacked and made Princess Wu Shuang suffer!”emperor Luoying said with a sharp eye.

“Good noble.” replied General Xuan accepted the assignment and asked permission to resign from there.

Elsewhere Consort Wan Rou got word from her servant informing her If she had just seen General Xuan return and was facing the Emperor.

“Is that really what you said it was Bai Yu?”replied Consort Wan Rou smiling at the news.

“True concubine Wan Rou.” replied Bai Yu.

“Alright I will face the noble now and ask him directly to him.” replied Consort Wan Rou.

Consort Wan Rou immediately tidied her hair and arranged it neatly. He then walked out of the room and headed to the palace to face the noble one.

“Yang Mulia... how have you heard about Princess Wu Shuang ?”wan Rou's concubine asked the emperor.

Emperor Luoying looked puzzled as to how to convey the news to his wife.

“Honey sit here for a while.”ucap emperor Luoying invites concubine Wan Rou to sit next to him.

Consort Wan Rou immediately sat down beside the emperor even though she felt the Emperor was stalling to match the information he got to her.

“Your Majesty where is Princess Wu Shuang now ? Why don't I see it's here ?”concubine Wan Rou asked again as she could not wait.

Emperor Luoying kept silent for a while and tried to string the words together to explain his daughter's condition to the concubine.

Concubine Wan Rou accidentally saw the sword that was on the table beside the Emperor sitting down.

“Yang majesty isn't this the sword of Princess Wu Shuang ?”said concubine Wan Rou took the sword and showed it to the emperor.

After a minute, Emperor Luoying spoke up.

“Honey strengthen your heart. Princess Wu Shuang fell into a bottomless abyss. And only that sword was found by general Xuan.”ucap the emperor explained.

“clang..”sword sound dropped to the floor.

“Yang noble please say Princess Wu Shuang is still alive right?”the concubine Wan Rou said in disbelief and was shocked to hear the news the emperor had told her.

“My daughter Wu Shuang... Why did you leave mom ?”said concubine Wan Rou hysterically and could not accept the reality. He was in shock and fell unconscious.
