Escape from the palace?
That day was an important day for Xi Jiu Er to escape from this "land of conflict". Although she did not know that there would be anyone who would be able to pass through the numerous traps and checkpoints that Feng Qing Cheng had set up and come to this ghastly and deep courtyard in order to save her, regardless of the cost of their lives.
That day was the day the Wind Nation's annual Prayer Nerve was sent down, which was commonly known as "Praying God" Day. This day was equally important to the people of the Wind Nation as well as to those in power.
The people needed the help of the gods' divine power to smooth the year's winds and rain, and the five grains were plentiful.
And for Feng Qing Cheng, who was in a position of power, the importance of this day was also the best opportunity to win over the hearts and hearts of others.
On this day, the entire Wind Nation would be singing and dancing, praying that the Emperor would leave the palace and head towards the East Light Pavilion, which was located thirty miles outside of the imperial capital, to pay his respects to the Heavenly Emperor and the God of Nations. Then, he would personally watch over the passing of the year to see if the destiny of the was prosperous or not, and if the citizens would still live in peace and do whatever they wanted.
Finally, all the well-prepared singing and dancing groups on all the streets of the imperial city would start singing and dancing. At that time, the Wind Nation could be said to be filled with people, and it could be said that there were simply too many people gathered here.
This day was also the only day Feng Qing Cheng would be gone for a very long time. The gap between the two had already allowed an "uninvited guest" who had infiltrated the imperial city to successfully insert an important matter.
Xi Jiu Er was half-lying on the bed, her fingers gently caressing that tattoo. She knew that there were some things that shouldn't be forced, such as love.
It was not that she did not love Feng Qing Cheng, but rather that after her heart had been pierced by his love again and again, all that was left was her heart that was riddled with holes.
Xi Jiu Er woke up early in the morning, and had been unable to sleep for the past few days. Even during the next few days, Feng Qing Cheng stayed at her palace, hugging Xi Jiu Er to sleep in the middle of the night.
Today was Wind Nation's' blessings' day, so Feng Qing Cheng had long since risen up and went to the Imperial Court. With his eyes closed, Xi Jiu Er waited for the sound of his footsteps to gradually disappear, then he opened his eyes and followed them out.
A few days ago, Xi Jiu Er was having a headache about how to deceive people and escape from the Imperial Palace. On a beautiful afternoon, Xi Jiu Er saw a slender figure at the side of the Inner Palace, whose body was hidden in the darkness.
This was because the person had explained the purpose of his visit and at the same time had attached a secret letter.
The secret letter was filled with the writer's worry. The lines of the letter gave Xi Jiu Er a warm feeling, and at the same time, the words were filled with strength, yet also contained a little bit of the vicissitudes of life.
Xi Jiu Er recognized the person who wrote the letter. She was extremely beautiful, and her enthusiasm was like that of a Gardenia jasminoides that was slowly blossoming in Wind Nation's winter months. This person was none other than Xi Jiu Er's good friend from her homeland, Great Beijing Dynasty's Prince Xian, Mu Qiu Shui.
The secret letter told Xi Jiu Er that ever since she disappeared for no reason, the Wei Guogong had immediately sent out her elite soldiers and immediately rushed back to the imperial capital on horseback. She had informed Mu Qiu Shui in time, hoping that he could secretly help him, and the two sides were suspicious of each other, but did not dare to let it show themselves.
Mu Qiu Shui had already stayed in the Wind Nation Imperial City for a few days, and he had also wanted to enter the Imperial Palace, but he was forced to return to her palace after finding the strange gate hide armor Feng Qing Cheng had placed around the palace. Recently, the Wind Nation 'blessings' had allowed them to take advantage of the opportunity.
The guard simply transmitted Mu Qiu Shui's plan.
It turned out that Mu Qiu Shui wanted to bring Xi Jiu Er out of the Imperial Palace with the help of today's "Blessing Festival".
The first half of the plan was for Mu Qiu Shui to send his personal bodyguard, disguised as a chef who was going out to purchase things in the imperial kitchen. He would wait for the opportunity when no one else was paying attention to him, and when he found out where Xi Jiu Er lived, he would deliver the secret letter to her.
Then, he would take the opportunity when Feng Qing Cheng was on his way to pray for his blessings to allow the Madame s who were with the empress to secretly trade Xi Jiu Er out. Finally, he would need to rely on Xi Jiu Er's disguise techniques to follow the other Madame s out of the palace.
Mu Qiu Shui's secret letter did not mention who the eunuch or Madame s who came to fetch her were, it only emphasized that she was a potbellied Madame.
Although Xi Jiu Er was very surprised that the other party knew that her stomach had already appeared, and even meticulously brought over a pregnant woman who was similarly waiting to give birth to a baby to replace him, it was really making things difficult for him.
After Xi Jiu Er finished reading the letter, she quickly lit up the lamp and threw the letter into the lantern. Only when all the letters had been turned into ashes did she extinguish the lamp.
"Your Highness has ordered, when the Emperor of the Wind Nation s are about to go to the Eastern Light Pavilion to pray and stir up some trouble, the young lady will be ready. In a moment, there will be people coming to replace the young lady and she will leave the palace.
Xi Jiu Er lowered his head and thought for a moment, "Then let's carry out your master's plan!"
The shadow immediately flashed out of the window, and Xi Jiu Er climbed onto the bed.
The moment that the ring-hour appeared, Xi Jiu Er heard the deafening sound of drums, this kind of Golden Age Wind Nation usually had three rings of the drum and three rings of the gong.
After the six sounds were done, the faint sounds of footsteps could be heard again and again leaving. Xi Jiu Er skillfully took out the disguise tools, and then sat on the dressing table and started to disguise herself.
In a moment, Xi Jiu Er had disguised herself, and inside the mirror, she saw a normal looking lady, who was calmly staring at Xi Jiu Er.
A black shadow suddenly rushed in and knelt down, "This is the appearance of the disguised Madame, you can take this as a disguise for me."
The man's voice was emotionless and stiff like a lake of death. Xi Jiu Er was startled when she heard it, she turned and received the portrait. She flipped it open and took a look, revealing the face of a fine and beautiful woman.
Xi Jiu Er waved for him to withdraw, and placed the portrait in his hand to the side. Looking at the beauties in the painting, he raised his eyebrow, and drew a line in the air, making it seem ethereal.
The ring-hour was about to pass, Xi Jiu Er sat in the inner hall, not allowing anyone to disturb him, she waited for the eunuch Madame to come and exchange identities with him before taking a fish out of the water and leaving the palace.
Xi Jiu Er was a little surprised that she could leave the palace so smoothly. From the moment the girl who had taken her place appeared outside the palace dressed in luxurious Yun Jin Gardenia jasminoides designs, to when she had changed her identity, to when Xi Jiu Er had followed the guard and successfully left the palace.
Unexpectedly, no one came to stop him, and as Xi Jiu Er walked with an anxious and anxious heart, he lowered his head and kept his eyes, pretending to be noble and dignified, not allowing the others to be suspicious.
The guards took the carriage and ran. Just in case, they intentionally abandoned the carriage and picked a sedan. The eight of them took the sedan and passed by.
