"Did you see where she went?"

"You didn't see it? How could I have seen it? Oh no, it can't be that he escaped, right?"

"But the two of us were here to help her escape the palace."

"Idiot, she must be worried about being secretly harmed, so she secretly left halfway and ran away by herself."

"With such a huge palace, without anyone to help her, how could she possibly escape? Now, what should we do? "

"Go ahead and search. If you can't find it, you and I will die if we return."

The two eunuchs were on the verge of tears. How could a living man disappear in the blink of an eye? They were still hoping that Ji Tian Ning would find a place to solve her problem and come back soon.

"I really shouldn't have given those things to her. I even gave her my identity card. If she didn't have a identity card and she couldn't leave the city, she wouldn't have run away on her own. "

"What's the point of saying all this nonsense now? Quickly find her and it would be the best course of action."

"It's so dark and the rain is pouring heavily. Just the two of us, where can we go to find them? Otherwise, we can find more people to help us find her as soon as possible. "

"You're crazy. If we alarm His Majesty, then we'll just die, and even our families will be implicated." Furthermore, this matter was originally extremely secretive. Thus, how could it be announced? "

"Then what should we do? Where should I go? "

"This place is not far from the palace walls. She won't go far, so we'll split up and search. We'll search around nearby." Find her and take her there. "

The two eunuchs split up and ran into the rain.

When the fine rain fell on the raincoat, it made a slight sound. While the two eunuchs weren't paying attention, Ji Tian Ning stealthily disappeared into the darkness, walking quickly into the residences of the servants.

There was a strange smell here, a mess. She did not walk towards the palace wall, as that would allow the two eunuchs to find her very quickly. He turned around and walked away. The palace wall was not this place. As long as he followed the direction of the palace wall, he would find a gap and escape.

After experiencing so many things, just a moment ago, when the eunuch said that he would send her on her way, he suddenly felt blessed.

"She won't let me go, she definitely won't. How could I believe her when even the White Horse Emperor wanted to put me on the execution platform. Presumably, at this moment, she wished that she could skin me alive so that she could dispel the hatred in her heart. "

Thinking about the sinister look in her beautiful eyes, she couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine.

Without even turning his head, he walked towards the palace walls in the dark night. When he saw that he was far away from the two eunuchs, he quickened his pace and directed the two eunuchs to run in the opposite direction.

Still, she returned to the waterway, smiling faintly. The two eunuchs never thought that she would return to the side of the boat.

He followed the waterway, approaching the palace walls under cover of the trees and the rainy night. He hid himself in the shadows, waiting for the patrolling guards to pass by. Staring at the tall walls of the palace, it was indeed difficult to climb out from here.

Every once in a while, there would also be guards guarding the palace walls. If they were discovered by the guards, their painstaking planning for the day would have failed.

Not far away, a palace maid came over with a lantern and an umbrella. It was unknown what she was so anxious about, but she hurriedly came over.

Ji Tian Ning's heart skipped a beat. This was a good opportunity.

Hidden in the shadows, a silver light flashed in her hand, and the palace maid stumbled as she passed by. Caught off guard, the palace maid fell to the ground. The lantern in her hand was thrown away, falling into the water.

Ji Tian Ning raised his hand and grabbed the palace maid's neck, stabbing the silver needle in his hand into the palace maid's neck. The palace maid's neck stiffened. She wanted to shout, but was unable to make a sound. Ji Tian Ning then dragged the palace maid into the dark, used a cloth to cover the palace maid's eyes and stuffed her mouth shut.

The lantern was quickly extinguished by the rain and no one noticed.

The palace maid was tied up with a belt and thrown into the light. He lifted his foot and left a trail of wet footprints on the ground, leading to a distant place.

Ah!

A mournful scream was suddenly heard, and the guards' hearts tightened. With such a rainy night, if someone were to infiltrate the imperial palace and cause any trouble, they would definitely be held responsible.

The guard immediately followed the source of the voice and soon, he saw a palace maid, who was tied up and thrown onto the ground. He hastily released the palace maid, only to discover that she had already fainted. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't wake her up.

On the ground, there was a clear trail of footprints. The two guards followed the trail.

The other two guards stayed where they were and called for the palace maids. The rain didn't stop. In the dim light, the guards followed the footprints, but they all disappeared at the door of a room.

The two guards looked at each other, drew their swords from under their ribs, and lay down in front of the door to listen.

Ji Tian Ning had already reached the palace walls. She had to climb over them before the guards realized that the patrolling guards had arrived.

"Who is it?" "What are you doing here?"

A black figure was anxiously squatting on the ground, looking at Ji Tian Ning. The black shadow seemed to be holding something in its hand. That black shadow had been squatting in the shadows the entire time, thus Ji Tian Ning hadn't seen him.

Ji Tian Ning was startled. Why was there someone squatting here?

"Who are you? "Why are you here?"

Ji Tian Ning forced herself to remain calm as she leaned over and whispered to the man. Since she was wearing a rain cape which revealed the clothes of a young eunuch, the man thought she was a companion of the palace.

He quickly approached the man and grabbed a few silver needles. Ji Tian Ning was not sure if he could restrain the man before he could yell.

"I'm Yun Wujie, this name was given to me by the esteemed one herself."

"Oh, so you're Yun Wuyi. Have you recovered from your illness?"

At this moment, Ji Tian Ning had already gotten close to Yun Wuji and was looking at his neck. She was looking for an opportunity to stab the silver needle into Yun Wuji's neck. Once she restrained him, things would become much easier.

However, it was different from before. Yun Wujie was a eunuch, so he had his suspicions. It would be difficult to stop this person from alerting the imperial guards.

"Who are you? "You know me?"

Ji Tian Ning slightly turned her head to take a look. It seemed that the guards had already opened the door, so she decided to make a bet.

"Yun Wuji, do you not remember me? I was the one who gave you your name. "

She lifted her bamboo hat, revealing her wet face. At this moment, the makeup on her face had already fallen off, revealing her true appearance.

Yun Wuji was stunned for a moment. This face, this voice was very familiar. It seemed to be the legendary evil witch. He moved closer to Ji Tian Ning's face. At this moment, a bolt of lightning flashed past and lit up Ji Tian Ning's face.

"Yun Wu Ji, have you recovered from your stomach disease? Will it still hurt? "

"Empress? "Esteemed Empress …"

His thick mouth quivering, Yun Wujie became excited. He was just a servant of the harem and had no last name to begin with. Once again, he suffered from a stomachache, which was so painful that he was on the verge of death. Coincidentally, he met Ji Tian Ning and had him brought to the Wind and Rain Pavilion to treat him wholeheartedly.

The name that he was using now was actually given by Ji Tian Ning. It turned out that everyone called him Yun Xiao.

That time, if he hadn't met Ji Tian Ning, he really didn't know what would have happened to him. However, he was a lowly servant and had nothing to repay Ji Tian Ning. In his heart, he remembered the Empress's good fortune.

In the past few days, he had heard many rumors and became very worried. He had come close to the Wind and Rain Pavilion several times to see how Ji Tian Ning was doing. However, the Rain Pavilion was not allowed to enter as they wished. He was not qualified to enter and was unable to see Ji Tian Ning. He could only silently pray in fear.

"Esteemed Empress, this servant heard that …"

"Shh …"

Ji Tian Ning patted Yun Wu's shoulder, using this person to whisper into Yun Wu's ear, "I want to be sent to the execution platform. Tomorrow, I want to escape. Come over here, squat down under the palace walls and help me escape. "

"Empress …"

"Don't say anymore, if the guards discover me, I will definitely die." If you are willing, come and help me. If you are unwilling, turn around and leave.

"What did the Empress say? This servant has always been worried about the Empress's safety. Several times I have come outside the Hearing Rain Pavilion to see if the Empress is well." But this servant was unable to enter, nor was I able to see the Empress. "

Ji Tian Ning is going to be executed, sent to the execution platform, cut to pieces, and so on. Rumors spread through the imperial harem." He had heard too much about this and didn't know how the emperor would deal with Ji Tianning.

He pulled Ji Tian Ning to the side of the palace wall and squatted down. "Empress, quickly stand on this servant's shoulder. There are still guards outside, you must be careful. This servant wishes the Empress a safe journey!"

"Thank you. I will remember your kindness. Yun Wuyi."

Tears welled up in Yun Wuji's eyes. This was the first time someone called out this name so gently.

Ji Tian Ning stepped on Yun Wujie's shoulder and supported himself against the palace wall as Yun Wujie stood up. He was a tall and sturdy man. After he stood up, Ji Tian Ning's hand had already reached the top of the palace wall.

Yun Wujie reached out his hand, grabbed Ji Tian Ning's feet and lifted Ji Tian Ning up. He was born to be a handyman and was quite strong. It wasn't difficult for him to lift Ji Tian Ning up.

Ji Tian Ning held onto the wall as he borrowed Yun Wuji's strength. With a sudden burst of strength, he kicked one of his legs onto the palace wall.

"Alright, hurry up and leave so that you won't be discovered by the guards."

"Who is it?"

The guard seemed to have noticed that someone was running over. Yun Wujie saw Ji Tian Ning standing on top of the palace walls, bowed to Ji Tian Ning before hastily running away into the darkness.

Ji Tian Ning was lying on the wall, his raincoat blending with the darkness as his guard chased after Yun Wuji. When he saw the guards running away, he looked down at the palace wall and saw that no one was around. Slowly, he grabbed the wall with his hand and lowered himself outside the palace wall.

He looked into the distance and saw that everything was hidden in the darkness. Only the lights in the distance were dim and unclear.

He let go and jumped to the ground. He crouched down and looked around cautiously. This was the outer perimeter of the palace, and there were guards. If it wasn't for the heavy rain tonight, it would have been impossible for them to escape.

Squatting at the corner of the room, he retrieved the military uniform from his backpack and took off the eunuch's clothes. They had already left the palace. Wearing the clothes of a eunuch would make them uncomfortable. If the guards found out, he could even kill her.

Wearing the military uniform, the flexible armor pasted onto her body. The icy cold feeling made her tremble slightly. Putting away the medallion, the eunuchs' clothing immediately bunched up into a ball and was pressed into the silt of the water.

When she came out, she had chosen the palace wall near the current, which ran all the way to the moat. He put on the bamboo hat and the raincoat, and carefully walked along the moat.

He looked around and found that this place was still very close to the palace. As long as he left the palace's outer perimeter, he would be safe for the time being.

He turned his head to look at the dark palace on the rainy night, revealing a complicated smile, and finally escaped.

"Baima Emperor, farewell, you …" "Esteemed Empress, you should stay well. This Queen won't serve you anymore."

She spoke in an extremely teasing tone. If she could escape tonight, the empress dowager's efforts would be worth it. Thanks to the Empress's assistance, she was able to smoothly escape.
