The night was closing in, and the dim moon hung high in the sky. The starlight was dim, and the light was dim.
"Quick, quick, quick, go heat transfer towels." One by one, the female servant s filed in and out of the dorms, busy to the point that their souls couldn't enter their bodies.
"Doctor Jiang, what happened to the esteemed Empress?" A female servant wearing a mask looked at Imperial Physician Jiang with a flustered expression. She had clearly heard that her illness had improved, but why was she in such a rush tonight?
"The sudden backlash from the smallpox virus can't be suppressed anymore." Imperial Physician Jiang used a towel to wipe the sweat off his forehead, looking anxious and anxious.
When the female servant heard this, they gulped down a jin of food. Their eyebrows were tightly knitted together. They had originally wanted to take advantage of the Empress's illness to obtain more favors, but now the river was really flowing. You have clearly improved a lot. " The female servant didn't really believe what Doctor Jiang had said. A few days ago, she had peeked in from the window to take a look, and the Empress's complexion had improved by a lot. Her face was a lot redder than before, but how could she say that she was sick?
"My lady, how could I lie to you? This disease is too much." Imperial Physician Jiang purposefully put on a look of helplessness. He had to act a bit more lifelike, so as to give the Empress more sense of public opinion.
"Those over there, don't be idle. Once the Queen's medicine is ready, bring it over as soon as possible. There's no time to delay!" The manager and his aunt had also clearly heard the conversation between the two, and their hearts were burning with anxiety.
Master had been sick for a long time and had not fully recovered. In the end, he had to blame it on his servant. Moreover, his master had lost his power, so the servants in the palace would look down on him.
"Doctor Jiang, how are things outside?" Liu Ruyan sat at the carved wooden table, looking at Doctor Jiang who was inside the house. She was already prepared for everything, she only needed to wait for everyone in the Zichen Palace to become a pot of porridge, then she could take the opportunity to leave.
"When they heard that the Empress's illness had worsened, all of them fell into chaos. Everyone grew anxious, afraid that they would lose their heads from being unable to take care of her."
"Then I'll leave this to Imperial Physician Jiang to help me deal with. I'll sneak out right now."
The more chaotic the situation was, the better. In that case, no one would notice this ordinary young eunuch of hers anymore.
"Alright. Empress, don't worry." In his heart, he was also praising Liu Ruyan for her courage. Such wisdom and courage, how could ordinary women have it, even some of the men wouldn't be able to do it.
Liu Ruyan walked to the backyard of Zichen Palace with a lantern in hand and used a tile to dig the dog hole that had already been opened. Last time she saw Fifteenth Princess entering and exiting the dog hole, she had always paid attention to this place.
Liu Ruyan crawled into the cave, using the lantern light to look at the road ahead. Inevitably, there were some sharp stones in the cave stabbing into her hands, causing a faint bone-piercing pain, but Liu Ruyan continued to climb forward, unyielding.
Liu Ruyan crawled to the end of the dog hole with the lantern in her hand, the dark sky was exposed in her field of vision. Liu Ruyan crawled out of the dog hole, took in a deep breath of fresh air.
Suddenly, Liu Ruyan seemed to have sensed something, a cold aura slowly rose from her back, her gaze froze in a certain spot, her pupils suddenly contracted, someone!
Who was it?! Liu Ruyan's heart sank, she could clearly see a figure standing in front of her. It was just that the light was too dim, so her face could not be seen, "Who are you?"
Her heart felt like it had sunk into an icy lake. Could it be that her plan had already been leaked out? Was this man sent by Lian Chengming to capture him?
The figure in front of him suddenly moved, as if it had jumped on something. When Liu Ruyan looked at it again, it had instantly become much shorter than him.
Seeing this scene, Liu Ruyan immediately understood what was going on. Countless black lines floated across her forehead, "What are you doing here?!"
When the lantern approached the black figure's face, Fifteenth Princess's innocent face looked even more cute and mischievous under the illumination of the lantern.
"Of course I want to leave the palace with you, how about that? Did I scare you just now? "Hahaha!" When Fifteenth Princess saw Liu Ruyan's expression that seemed like she wanted to eat someone, she became even more interested. She had long guessed that Liu Ruyan would use this method to escape the palace.
"Go back!" Liu Ruyan roared in anger, she looked at Fifteenth Princess who seemed to have succeeded in her evil scheme, and felt extremely furious.
Fifteenth Princess was shocked by Liu Ruyan's angry shout, but she was not someone who would give in just because she was frightened. She pulled on Liu Ruyan's sleeves, sparkling tears rolling in her eyes, "I don't want to, I want to go with you, I want to leave the palace with you."
Liu Ruyan looked at Fifteenth Princess's pitiful appearance and grinded her teeth. She made up her mind, she would bring her out with him, so it would be easier for her to be discovered if he left her here.
"Alright, then obediently follow me. You are not allowed to do anything small."
Fifteenth Princess nodded her head obediently.
However, when they saw the two, they took a detour and were stopped by the guards at the entrance of the palace. As Liu Ruyan also had smallpox on her person, and had the excuse to send a letter, the guards knew that the fact that the Concubine Hui was suffering from smallpox was not false, so they allowed him to pass with suspicion.
And inside the Imperial Study.
There were some similarities with Liu Ruyan's guess.
"Your majesty, the two of them have already sneaked out of the palace."
Private Guard stood in front of Lian Chengming and reported the situation respectfully.
"The guards in the palace are useless indeed. Even two females who are powerless can escape successfully." Lian Chengming frowned unhappily.
"No …" The two of them were … It went out of the dog hole. " Private Guard's voice trembled a little. He found it funny just thinking about it, and that dog hole had also made him search for a long time. He already said how could a person disappear without a reason.
A group of black crows flew over Lian Chengming's head, his expression a little gloomy, "Dog hole … It really was … If they don't go on the usual route, then go and help them settle the situation with the palace guards. If they want to leave the palace, they will definitely have to be interrogated. "
