Early in the morning, the palace was in chaos, and the eunuch in charge led a group of small eunuchs to rummage the entire harem and garden, but there was still any discovery.

"Father-in-law Zhang, this person still hasn't been found, and I don't know where to hide." A little eunuch said hurriedly.

"You must find it, this person can't be lost, that's what the emperor ordered to take a good look at, if she escapes and hurts Princess Rui, our heads will not be enough to cut off." Zhang Qing said angrily.

"Grandpa Zhang, where do you say that person will hide? I'm afraid there is no one in this harem to protect her. ”

"Probably not, go to the palace gate to check, maybe she will hide in the carriage that transports things to the palace and escape." Zhang Qing said calmly.

After that, Zhang Qing led a team of guards to chase after the palace gate, which was specially designed to transport things to the palace.

The other palace gates are generally heavily guarded, and even if the slaves and maids of the palace masters want to go out, they must register and hold a token before they can be released.

The cold palace is located in the middle of nowhere, Gu Yunzhi wants to go out from other palace gates, it is impossible to make a decision, and the only way for her to get out of the palace is to go out through the corner gate that transports things to the palace.

Zhang Qing came to the corner gate and wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, "Are there any cars entering and leaving the palace today?" ”

"Back to my father-in-law, the carriage that just delivered swill and night incense to the palace has just left the palace." The guards guarding the door bowed.

"What? Oh, how good is this, a few of you will continue to look for it in the palace with people, our family must go to report to the emperor, I hope everything is still in time. Ah! Zhang Qing stomped his feet anxiously and hurriedly walked towards the emperor's imperial study.

Everything was as usual outside the emperor's imperial study, and the officers and soldiers naturally did not dare to disturb at will, Zhang Qing looked up at the hour, and then went to the side hall next door to prepare hot tea and snacks, and then came to the imperial study.

The emperor is used to Zhang Qing serving by his side, and he didn't see anyone early in the morning, so to be honest, he was really a little unaccustomed to it.

"You old thing, where did you go early in the morning?" The emperor said lightly.

When Zhang Qing heard this, he hurriedly put the refreshments on the table, and knelt down, "Your Majesty, the slave should die, the cold palace servant Gu Yunzhi is afraid that he has escaped, and the servant and the steward of the cold palace with the little eunuch and the palace guards have been looking for a morning, but no one has been found." ”

"What? She actually escaped? You go to the Rui Palace, and tell the Rui princess to be more careful, if Gu Yunzhi dares to go to the Rui princess to hurt the princess, it will be killed. The emperor said in a deep voice.

The emperor wouldn't believe that Gu Yunzhi would change her mind, if she understood, she wouldn't have escaped from the palace.

The swill cart that transported the palace went all the way to the north gate, and the road was full of coffin shops and paper shops, and it was very close to the entrance of the vegetable market.

Even though it was daytime and it was almost noon, the street was still a little cold and gloomy.

Zhang Qing took a guard and rode out of the palace on a fast horse to King Rui

Prefecture. As soon as he got off the horse, he was anxious to find Gu Yunxin's figure.

"Is Princess Rui here? The princess can be in the house? Zhang Qing looked around anxiously.

"Father-in-law, the princess is in the house, are you in a hurry?" The butler stopped and whispered.

"In the house, quick, take our family to see the princess, our family has something important to report." Zhang Qing said hurriedly.

"Okay, father-in-law, please."

The housekeeper saw that Zhang Qing was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and knew that something must have happened, otherwise, he would not serve the emperor this time, and what would he do in the Rui Wangfu?

Zhang Qing saw Gu Yunxin sitting next to the earth dragon, slowly drinking hot soup, and then he was relieved. "The slave asks Princess Rui to say goodbye, Princess Jin An."

"Father-in-law Zhang, please get up, you are ......" Gu Yunxin said with doubts.

"Princess, you have to be more careful when you go from today, then Gu Yunzhi is afraid that she has escaped from the palace, and the emperor is afraid that she will be unfavorable to you, so he wants the old slave to come and tell the princess, and ah, the emperor said that if Gu Yunzhi is suspected of hurting the princess, he will be killed on the spot." Zhang Qing said hurriedly.

Hearing this, Gu Yunxin was very surprised, what? This Gu Yunzhi actually escaped from the palace? I really underestimated her.

On the other side, the emperor also sent another team of men and horses to rush to Gu Shilang's mansion, and a team of palace guards broke into the mansion and ignored Gu Qin's obstruction.

"Search quickly, search carefully, and don't miss anything. As for the housekeeper, go and gather all the subordinates in your house in the front yard, if there is no one missing, your entire Gu family will not think about peace. The leading guard said coldly.

"Well, what are you doing here? Do you know that this is Gu Shilang's mansion? Break in like this, beware of my lord reporting to the emperor. Gu Qin couldn't tell the situation.

"This commander was ordered by the emperor to come to search Gu Shilang's house, and Gu Yunzhi, a concubine in the palace, escaped from the palace, and the emperor ordered me to wait for her to go back." The general said with a cold face.

What the? Yunzhi escaped from the palace? Gu Qin's family was really surprised and delighted when she heard the news, her daughter was really good, as long as she could escape from the palace, and then think of a way to send her to a distant relative's house, although she couldn't see each other often, at least her daughter was alive.

"Escaped from the palace? That's a good feeling, my daughter can escape, then she doesn't have to be wronged anymore. If you have escaped, how can you come back here and wait for you to arrest you? At this time, I'm afraid I'm already out of the city. Gu Qin said proudly.

Although there was a hint of pride on his face, he had been secretly praying in his heart that Gu Yunzhi would never come back at this time, if he was caught, his life might not be saved.

The searching guards found nothing, so they had to leave, and after taking everyone away, Gu Qin's family returned to his house angrily.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Gu Yunzhi sitting at his table drinking tea and eating snacks.

"Oh, my precious girl, are you alright? Let my mother take a look. "Gu Qin

Shi pulled Gu Yunzhi to look left and right in distress, looking at her haggard face now, not to mention how distressed she was.

"Hurry up and prepare food and drink, and prepare a bath bucket for Miss to bathe, if any of you dare to talk nonsense, Mrs. Ben will kill your whole family, and then sell you all to the lowest kiln." Gu Qin coldly threatened.

Hearing this, several maidservants knelt on the ground in unison, shouting in unison that the slaves and maids did not dare, some of them were born slaves and maids, and some were bought from outside, which was happy or unhappy, but it was all a word from the master, if it was sold to the lowest kiln, then where would they still have a way to live?

Moreover, some of them had sick people in their families and needed her to bring money home every month for treatment.

A few maidservants went to prepare their own things, and Gu Yunzhi and Gu Qin's were left in the room.

"Mother, all of this is Gu Yun's heart, otherwise, how could I change from an imperial concubine to a concubine? In the days when I was in the cold palace, I ate glutinous rice every day, and I did work that I had never done before, and you see, my hands were blistered. Gu Yunzhi cried and stretched out his hands in front of Gu Qin's face.

When Gu Qin's heart saw it, her heart hurt even more, her daughter, but she was raised with brocade clothes and jade food, how could she have suffered like this?

"Yunzhi, you should hide at home first, and when your father comes back, my mother will want to send you to Zhuangzi outside the city to hide for a few days, and then send you to your aunt's house in the south, you are in Kyoto, it is easy to be discovered." Gu Qin said softly.

"Well, but before leaving, I must deal with Gu Yunxin, otherwise, how can I be willing in my heart." Gu Yunzhi said indignantly.

"Oh, my daughter, don't be confused, don't think about revenge now, revenge has a mother, you just have to go to your aunt's house and hide. After this gust of wind, you will come back. Gu Qin's voice comforted.

"Mother, I'll go to my aunt's house, will they be nice to me? If they bully me......"

"Don't worry, no, my mother will send someone to visit from time to time, so that every time you see someone from my mother's faction, if you are doing well, let someone bring some seasonal fruits to your mother, and if it is not good for you, let someone bring a pot of flowers back." Gu Qin said with a smile.

"Well, I listen to my mother." Gu Yunzhi smiled lightly.

Gu Qin guessed that the emperor would definitely not spread these ugly things to the outside, and this matter was at most speculated by some people in Kyoto.

Besides, as long as Gu Yunxin is always safe, the emperor will not make a big move, in the final analysis, it is not Gu Yunxin that the emperor wants to protect, but the child in her Gu Yunxin's belly, right?

And she, she is not in a hurry to take revenge at this time, now the entire Rui Wangfu must be heavily guarded, if she goes now, let alone revenge, I am afraid that her life will be folded in it, and she should be smarter after suffering so many losses.

It was night, in King Rui's mansion, Gu Yunxin was sitting on the ground

The dragon warmed his hands, and Hongxuan and Hongling walked in with some food, "Master, eat some red date tea, it's windy tonight, and the slave will fill you with some silver charcoal in a while." Hongxuan said lightly.

"No need, it's good, today Father-in-law Zhang said that Gu Yunzhi escaped from the palace, what do you think?" Gu Yunxin said lightly.

"The slave maid thought, she must want to take revenge on the princess now, she did the wrong things herself, she didn't reflect on herself, but she always put the blame on others." Ziling pouted.

"What about you?" Gu Yunxin looked at Jinhua Dao.

"The slave maid feels that Gu Yunzhi should not come to retaliate for the time being, after all, she is now on the cusp, she must at least avoid this gust of wind, and wait for the emperor's search here to be lax, or our palace will relax its vigilance." Jin Hua held his chin and said lightly.

"Well, I think so, and I think the most important thing for her right now is to find a place to hide." Xiangzhi said lightly.

"Since you all think so, then let the guards in the courtyard patrol as usual, and don't send more people." Gu Yunxin said lightly.

"That's not possible, slaves and maids are just guesses, who knows what Gu Yunzhi will think, we can't take this risk." Xiangzhi said hurriedly.

"Don't worry, Gu Yunzhi will leave Kyoto soon, and the person who did it won't be her." Gu Yunxin said lightly.
