The Eldest Princess was silent for a moment, then she replied, "It's normal for you to not believe it. If I didn't hear it myself, or myself, I would never have thought that it would end like this. Do you remember the day we went to the Hall of Endless Music to meet my mother? "She had already guessed the future of our younger brother and I, so she specially warned us not to argue or complain about anything. As long as half of that person's blood is left on us, no matter if it's good or bad, it's all our fault."
Normally, my two masters would praise me for being smart. I really thought that I was incomparably intelligent, but now, looking at it, I can't be any stupider than I am now. I can't even tell if what that person said and did was true or false.
Saying that, a tear quietly rolled down from the corner of Eldest Princess's eyes. He stubbornly wiped it with his sleeve and said, "But there are still other matters I have to discuss. If you want me to marry someone, I would rather die than go. How many of my citizens have I, the noble princess of North Dee, killed? Yet now, I, the dignified Tianqi, am forced to submit to you like a thief! That person could bear to be scolded by his ancestors, but I cannot.
It was not a way to take care of her, so she hurriedly advised, "Since you have already escaped, stop thinking about it, consider it as having a rich dream. Now that your dream has awoken, what do you think about the next step, and where are you going?"
Eldest Princess turned his head to look at Zhao Yang who was also confused, she shook his head and said, "It happened so suddenly, I overheard that person having such a plan, so I immediately ran over to your house to find Zhao Yang, changed into a palace maid's clothes and ran away. She didn't even have the time to clean up the place. You should know about that damned place by the entrance. Even if she did, it would be difficult to bring her out … What's the next step, Mingwei, you're really asking me wrong. Could it be that in this world, a king can run away to somewhere else? "
Xu Mingwei reckoned that they were almost at the Wang family residence, so she lifted a corner of the curtain to peek outside, and then said to the girls: "All of you wait in the carriage, I'll go to the Wang family household to settle some matters, and I'll be back shortly. "Don't make a sound while you're sitting in the car, it's my future sister-in-law's house up ahead."
Zhao Yang rolled her eyes and looked at Xu Mingwei worriedly, but she held back and did not say anything. Tie Tou knew that today's matter was not trivial, if not, Xu Mingwei would not have asked him about it so seriously. Although she was still using her usual habit to pull the horse carriage to the side of the Wang Family's small door, she did not dare to tie it up and drink her tea like usual. From time to time, a waiter who was familiar with him would ask, "Why don't you go and eat wine, big brother Xu? Tiger Lord has just warmed up his wine and is currently enjoying the show. "
Inside the carriage, the Eldest Princess and Zhao Yang were extremely nervous, but they heard Tie Tou laughing honestly outside, and said, "No, the lady said he has nothing important to do, and will be leaving soon. That's what I said last time, but I didn't come out until the evening with your girl, and I had to wait in front of me and walk away for a while, but I was badly scolded. I've been inside for quite some time now, and I'm afraid that if I leave now, she'll start talking to me again. "
The two inside and outside the car finally let out a sigh of relief when the attendant left with a laugh.
Zhao Yang still had not returned, she was suspecting that she had gone to spread the news, and was afraid that something was amiss. However, she had to restrain herself, afraid that she would arouse the suspicions of others, which was good news.
Fortunately, Xu Mingwei still returned in the end, and as soon as they got on the carriage, they immediately instructed Tie Tou to head towards the Nan Gong alley. Although Tie Tou was an honest man, he was not stupid. He chose an inconspicuous path so that no one would notice him.
The wheels of the carriage rumbled for almost an hour before they finally stopped in front of a seemingly ordinary courtyard.
Xu Mingwei knocked on the signal, and the door creaked open, revealing a scarred face. Seeing that it was her, she opened the door and let the carriage in.
Wan Rong had already been waiting in the courtyard for a while, and seeing two strangers girls get off the horse carriage, who were both dressed like palaces, she immediately had an idea of what was going on, and couldn't help but pale in the face. After receiving the message from Peaches, Wan Rong knew that she was going to do something big, but he never expected that it would be this big of a deal.
"Have you prepared everything you need?" Looking at Wan Rong's expression, Xu Mingwei could tell that she had already guessed something was wrong. Suddenly, she felt it was a little funny. Thinking about Wan Rong's body, he decided to keep it a secret.
"I've already prepared the orders, Miss. "Ladies, please follow me here. First, change your clothes and accessories, then come to the hall to speak." Wan Rong had already stabilized his state of mind, and greeted Zhao Yang and Eldest Princess with a look of welcome.
Eldest Princess glanced at Xu Mingwei, and saw her nodding to him, and then followed Wan Rong.
After changing out of their palace uniforms, the three of them gathered in the main hall. Xu Mingwei said, "Changsheng, once you escape, the palace will discover you sooner or later. I have two paths here. The first is to take this new path and bring it to your outer sect. I just don't know if your outer sect will be willing to take this risk and accept you and your left and right. This courtyard was placed in secret by me, and the written agreement was not in my name. At that time, the imperial guards would search for him, and they would not pay particular attention to this property. If someone comes to search, Hu Bo will bring you all to hide in a secret room. "After the wind blows, if you decide where you want to go, you can tell me. I'll definitely think of a way to send you out alive."
Zhao Yang turned to look at Eldest Princess, hoping to go to her side. Although this place sounded peaceful, it was still within the borders of the Imperial City. If any of them leaked any information, it would be no different than catching a turtle in a jar.
Unexpectedly, Eldest Princess thought for a moment and chose the second option.
"I've never seen what my outer sect is like since I was young. But I remember my mother once lamented that if my grandfather hadn't been so determined, we wouldn't have been born in heaven. Perhaps it was arbitrary, but I always felt that the outer world would not necessarily welcome a caged canary like myself. Rather than running a thousand miles to find an unknown land, it would be better to just sit here and wait. " The Eldest Princess said.
Xu Mingwei nodded, "I was just thinking the same thing as you, but I was afraid that you would remember your family, that's why I mentioned it. At present, the various places at the city gate might be aware of something, and it was not certain that they would close the gates and enter. If they rushed out of the city, it would only turn into a bad situation. If you think about it, it's best that you stay. If there's anything you're lacking, just tell Hu Bo. I forgot to tell you guys that Hu Bo can hear but not say anything, he's just a mute. Although he looks fierce on the surface, his character is not bad, and he is also a trustworthy person. Don't be afraid. "
Eldest Princess nodded in agreement, "Your arrangements are naturally appropriate. It's getting late and you should go back earlier as well. If I need anything, I would naturally inform the Hu Bo. There's no need to be polite with you. As for thank you, compared to what you have done, I feel that everything is too light … I just want to say that mother found the most suitable person for me and didn't misjudge you. Thank you, Mingwei. "
Xu Mingwei patted her hand with a warm smile, "How can I thank you for such a small matter? "It's just that this courtyard is rather simple and crude. It's fine as long as you don't mind."
Eldest Princess pursed her lips with difficulty, "A dog that has lost its home, to be able to get a peaceful living is already a great fortune, how can I avoid it."
Seeing that she had started to feel sad again, Xu Mingwei couldn't help but advise, "Let's all be open with this, maybe the emperor also has his difficulties, maybe we can just treat it as his love for the first thirteen years, and let him repay this heartlessness."
"I understand the logic behind your words, Mingwei. It's just that my heart can't get over that hurdle, and I just can't forgive that person."
Xu Mingwei was also unable to do so, she looked at Zhao Yang who was at the side and reminded him, "I really need to leave, serve your master well, and don't make her sad again. Dinner is better served, rest early. "
Zhao Yang nodded in agreement before she brought Wan Rong home.
That night, the capital was in an uproar. Until the third fragment of the night, they were still able to hear the movements of the imperial guards searching the city, causing the entire moon-nesting to be extremely curious, just what had happened outside to cause such a commotion?
Wan Rong was the only one amongst the big girls that knew the truth. When they were serving in the room at night, she had already been disturbed several times by the sound.
The next day, the imperial guards came to check on the manor's entrance. Only then did the Xu family realize that the head of the palace had lost two palace maids, and rumored to have secretly carried the contents of the former Empress' palace with him. Although it wasn't worth much, the empress had left it behind for him. His Majesty naturally cared greatly for it today, which was why he was so angry that he wanted the entire city to search for it. He heard that he had searched all the ordinary families yesterday, but today, it was his turn to search the rich officials' house.
At that moment, the servants of the Xu family felt the excitement and also felt that the emperor was infatuated with them, so they kept discussing about this new matter. The topic of searching for palace maids quickly replaced the horde of peasants and became the Xu family's hottest topic. Everyone was paying attention to whether or not the two wretched palace maids were caught, and there were even rumors about them. In just two days, the rumors had verified that they were merely rumors, and their ups and downs were like spoons digging into one's heart, shocking Wan Rong to the point that she was about to jump and jump whenever she heard the word palace maid.
In Xu Mingwei's eyes, she was normally someone who could bear with it, but in the end, she couldn't help but be shocked. She was also afraid that she might reveal some clues, so she let Wan Rong say that she was sick and went back to her room to recuperate first, not letting her go out.
The comparison showed the boldness of Peaches. He came to visit the inner and outer court everyday as if nothing had happened. He told her that capturing a palace maid would be a piece of cake and she would come to join in the fun as well. When she came back, she even learned from Xu Mingwei and told him all about it.
