Kneeling before the goddess of marriage and childbirth
Yi Nuo stepped forward, trying to reason with them. If she let the monks take her highness without the general's approval she might get into trouble. Before he left, he had specifically instructed her to have someone keep an eye on her.
She had someone watching her yesterday, but this morning, she assumed that Princess Xiu would wake up later. Who would have thought she would wake up before the sun even rose?
She didn't even know that the princess had left the military camp until now. "Please, allow me to take her place or we can wait for the general to return," she offered.

They stepped in front of their master and spoke up. "We will take her place," they insisted, their voices filled with hostility. This was their master. Did these bald donkeys think that they would let them take him away?
