It was night, the moon was dark and the winds were strong. The Moon Reaching Pavilion s at the entrance were changing their positions, they did not speak, only a silent gaze and the soft sound of armor making when they walked.
Bai Qianfan was not used to people waiting at night, so she did not set up a room at the outer room, but Yue Xiang and Yue Guiyi were very loyal servants, and if she thought the sky was cold, Little Princess would kick her under the blanket, so when she woke up in the middle of the night, she would go to her room and tuck her in.
Yue Xiang held a lamp in her hand and went in. There was a ray of light in the dark room, illuminating the curtains beside the bed. She quietly walked over, pulled up the curtains and looked inside, and saw a small lump of something on the bed.
She placed the lamp on the headboard of the bed and gently pulled off the quilt, only to discover that it was still a quilt. Where was this person!?
This was no small matter. She didn't think much of it and shouted, "Someone come quickly, the wangfei is gone!"
When she shouted, the Moon Reaching Pavilion immediately looked as if they had met a great enemy, all of them dozing off in fright. If the prince had spoken, then if the wangfei did not see them, they would skin them alive!
Pro-guard outside rushed in and searched around. Yue Gui dragged Yue Xiang to the side and complained in a low voice, "What are you shouting for?
Yue Xiang replied, "It's just because I was too anxious that I couldn't care less. What should I do now?!"
"The wangfei has a kind heart and will definitely pay attention to the servants in the yard. She'll definitely come back before dawn if she runs out in the dark," laughable laurels continued. "Now that things have turned out this way, if you ask me, who should I ask?"
Yue Xiang rubbed his fingers, "Aren't you worried about the wangfei? "It's already so late, just in case …"
The Prince Chu Palace was under strict guard, and their Moon Reaching Pavilion was heavily guarded. If Bai Qianfan had not run out on her own, who would have the ability to steal her away! It must be because she heard Concubine Princess's words that she was worried about Du Changfeng and stealthily ran out to see him.
At that time, she already felt that something was amiss, but she did not think too deeply into it. It was too late to be upset about it now, if she had known earlier, she would have been on guard and Little Princess would not have been able to escape. But now, let everyone know, the Concubine Princess will definitely report this matter to the Prince. The Little Princess originally prohibited people from entering, but this way, the crime will be even more serious … Her heart sank and she dared not think any further.
Very quickly, Gu Qingdie and Hao Pingguan received the letter and came over. Upon hearing that Bai Qianfan had disappeared, they panicked.
Hao Pingguan hurriedly shouted. "The entire palace is in charge, everyone is to search for her! If you can't find the wangfei, all of you just wait for the prince to skin you alive!"
Gu Qingdie was so anxious that she started to think things over in her heart, "This won't do, I have to quickly report this to the Duke.
Yue Gui and Yue Xiang knelt on the ground, not daring to breathe. Every time something happened to Bai Qianfan, the two of them would carry it out and sacrifice it there. It was fine for Bai Qianfan to be fine, but if something had happened, the two of them would have died a worse death than anyone else!
Hao Pingguan's mind was in a mess, hearing Gu Qingdie's words, he felt that it was reasonable, so he quickly sent his men out of the city to report to the Prince Chu.
Bai Qianfan was completely unaware, it was not difficult for her to leave the mansion. With Hou Hou's well-trained ability, she quietly slipped out of the dog hole, avoiding the night watchmen, and slipped out of the door.
Even though she didn't know where Du Changfeng lived, she decided to ask the Military Lord at the city gate where he lived. They were all Du Changfeng's subordinates, so they should be able to know a little about their superior's situation.
She couldn't leave for too long, so she jogged all the way, panting until she reached the nearest city gate.
Two soldiers were standing by the city gate with tassel spears in their hands. When they saw her from afar, they shouted, "Who is it?"
Bai Qianfan laughed, ", I want to ask you two something, does Military Lord know where Du Changfeng lives?"
The two soldiers looked at each other. It was the middle of the night, why did this lady come to find the Provincial Commander-in-chief? Could it be … But from the looks of Bai Qianfan's clothes, he did not look like a lady.
The two of them looked at each other, and one of them asked, "Who is this lady? What are you trying to find out about Provincial Commander-in-chief for? "
"I am …" Bai Qianfan hesitated for a while, but she couldn't say that she was a Princess Chu. If she let Morong Gan know, the consequences would be unthinkable.
"Is Du Changfeng seriously injured? How is he right now? Are you better? "
The two soldiers frowned. Not many people knew about Provincial Commander-in-chief being injured, they heard that the killer had already escaped, but this lady said it with such certainty … It must be related to the matter of Provincial Commander-in-chief being injured.
The two of them came over and surrounded him one after another. "It seems that the young lady knows who injured Provincial Commander-in-chief and will accompany us to the yamen."
Bai Qianfan saw that the situation was bad and retreated, "I don't, I can't go, I have to go home, I …"
How could the two soldiers let her run away? They called the patrolling troops from the city gate tower and pushed Bai Qianfan all the way to the yamen. Lord Residence of Yin was still sleeping, and being disturbed made him very unhappy. He ordered his men to be thrown into jail in a sleepy state. He would ask about the case when he woke up the next morning.
Just like that, Bai Qianfan was thrown into the Yin Mansion's prison. As a female criminal, she took up a separate room, and through the thick fence, she could vaguely see the other prisoners, all of them had flowing hair, some were in rags, some were sitting against the wall, and some were lying on mats.
Only now did Bai Qianfan become dumbstruck, she was hesitant and did not dare to reveal her identity, as she was afraid of alarming Morong Gan, which would make things difficult for him, but now, she was thrown into prison without any explanation, as though... It was even more difficult to end the situation. If she couldn't make it back before daybreak, she would definitely be found out. It wouldn't matter if she got whipped, as it wouldn't be good if it involved Yue Xiang.
Thinking about that, she hit the fence with all her might, "Military Lord, Military Lord, let me out, I'm Princess Chu."
The guard came over: "What are you arguing about?" He sized Bai Qianfan up from head to toe, and laughed disdainfully, "Are you crazy? How dare he impersonate the Princess Chu? Do you know what a crime impersonating a relative of the royal family is? That's for beheading! "
Bai Qianfan explained anxiously, "I am really Princess Chu, go ask around at Prince Chu Palace if you don't believe me."
The prison warden rolled his eyes at her, "What kind of place is the Prince Chu Palace, can anyone go there? Prince Chu is an illustrious Evil God, you told me to send myself to my death at night. I am young, how can I be venomous?! "
"Why don't you believe me?" Bai Qianfan wanted to cry, but no tears came out. "I'm really the Princess Chu, the Fifth Miss of the Prime Minister Bai's Mansion."
The guard glared at him and said in a fierce tone: "Nonsense! If you continue to argue then I'll sew your mouth shut!"
