The man's breathing suddenly became more anxious, the hot air that was puffing on Xi Jiu Er's ears became more irritable.
Xi Jiu Er uncomfortably turned her head, and was immediately hit by the man behind him.
"Don't move, we are only one step away from the thousand zhang cliff now. What, you want to go down? Imperial Concubine? "
When the man called out "Imperial Concubine", Xi Jiu Er could not help but shiver and berate sternly, "Who the hell are you?"
The man was not annoyed. He said in a neutral tone, "Who am I? It's not important, as long as you are the woman that Mu Qiu Shui wants."
Hearing the other party mention Mu Qiu Shui in such a baffling manner, Xi Jiu Er became even more suspicious. Hearing this tone, Xi Jiu Er felt that this person clearly knew who he was with Prince Xian, but the other party's tone did not contain the reverence and pettiness that he should have. It was as if he was normally discussing with Xi Jiu Er what he should eat tonight.
Xi Jiu Er silently planned in her heart, if this person was Mu Qiu Shui's enemy, and wanted to take revenge by threatening him, then she must quickly escape from the other party's control.
However, at this time, Xi Jiu Er felt that it was not the time to run away, and she accidentally took a glance at him.
She saw the scene behind her through the lowered shoulder of the man.
Not too far away, there were a few clouds slowly floating in the air. The weather today was also very good, but if he wasn't in a place the size of a palm and was only a few steps away from the cliff and received a warm embrace, Xi Jiu Er would be willing to continue staying under the sunlight to enjoy a warm baptism.
Xi Jiu Er's body started to stiffen again, her hands and feet were held tightly by the man, and she seemed to have lost the ability to move. Just as the stiff feeling was about to spread to her face, the man behind him finally roared out, "Go."
In a blink of an eye, Xi Jiu Er was in the man's embrace with one hand and the other hand grabbed onto the huge boulder that was as thick as a wrist, using all of her strength to climb up.
Only after Xi Jiu Er was carried by the man and placed on a huge rock did she dare to stroke her beating heart and peek at the scenery beneath the big rock.
It was a deep abyss indeed, but the tree vines that the man used to climb were stuck in a barely discernible crack in the stone wall. Xi Jiu Er forced himself to resist his fear of heights as he stretched his head out to look at the crack in the ground. She saw a small space the size of a palm hidden under the giant boulder.
"Stop looking, be careful that you don't fall down later." The panting man on the ground saw Xi Jiu Er stick her head out to look at the scenery below the cliff, and immediately reminded her with good intentions.
Xi Jiu Er suddenly remembered that there was a man beside him. He pulled back his head and turned to look at that man.
"Who the hell are you?"
Xi Jiu Er, this good-looking man who suddenly popped out, asked the question that had been stifling in her heart for a long time. Although the man's voice was a little cold, it had nothing to do with him, but she used her actions to show Xi Jiu Er that she was not a bad person.
The man's fair and handsome face revealed a sneer, "Who am I? "You are currently disguised as my wife and you don't even know who I am?"
After Xi Jiu Er heard this, her face reddened, and she exclaimed: "You're the assistant minister of the Military Department?"
The man frowned. "Assistant Minister of War?" "Don't tell me you don't know my name?"
Xi Jiu Er nodded seriously: "I don't know, Mu Qiu Shui only mentioned in the letter that a eunuch's family's Madame will come to the palace to pay her respects, at that time I will change into my Madame appearance and leave the palace."
In fact, she thought that the reason why Mu Qiu Shui did not mention the name of Madame in the secret letter was to protect the family of the man who had taken the risk to help her escape from this place. When they were about to leave the palace, the attendant that came afterwards told her the identity of the man simply so that she would not reveal it when the time came.
The man laughed. "Oh, that fellow was probably afraid that the secret letter would not reach you easily. He was able to protect my family from His Majesty the Emperor's suspicion that I was the one who helped you!"
Xi Jiu Er nodded her head, with a face full of smiles, she became serious, "I thank the Vice Minister for his help."
Xi Jiu Er slowly stood up and blessed the man. The man didn't care about her status as the imperial concubine at all and only waved his hands, not stopping her subordinates.
The man naturally accepted Xi Jiu Er's bow without any hesitation. He sat down on the ground with his large thorns, broke off a piece of Kobold Grass and held it in his mouth. His playful and disrespectful attitude caused Xi Jiu Er to have a good impression of him.
Xi Jiu Er sat in a rather uncomfortable position, her stomach was heavy and pressing against her body. After sitting for too long and having difficulty breathing comfortably, she stood up and slowly walked a few steps. Only then did she think about how long it had been since she last saw Mu Qiu Shui, and her heart was filled with worry.
"Master, where is Prince Xian at the moment?"
Xi Jiu Er was a little worried that Mu Qiu Shui would not appear yet, so she quickly asked the man.
The man dug through the grass without raising his head, as if he was looking for something, "Don't worry, he'll appear after half a cup of tea at the latest."
Xi Jiu Er nodded and walked a few steps, but she suddenly thought of a question, "Master, your Madame is still in my palace, if only …"
This time, the man didn't wait for her to finish before answering, "It's okay, that person wasn't her. She's probably still taking her afternoon nap!"
Xi Jiu Er was confused, she stared straight at the man on the ground and did not reply.
The man, who was searching for the Chi in the grass, calmly caught a fat Chi from the grass. He took a look at its fat body and threw it to the ground with a look of disdain.
The word "too fat" had stimulated Xi Jiu Er's nerves, she suddenly remembered that when the man had brought her back to the ground, she had solemnly sized herself up, and then silently turned around and laid down on a large tree to recuperate.
His gaze and the plump knee in front of him were really the same.
The man didn't notice Xi Jiu Er's bright red ears, he just continued to look for crickets in the grass by himself, and carefully explained the whole plan to her.
It turned out that the man's name was Gui You, and was also the original planner of the plan. The first part of the plan was similar to what was written in Mu Qiu Shui's letter, but he had filled in a few more words regarding Gui You and his exchange of identities.
