Chapter 66: Jumping into the moat
The taste of death just now Yue'er had already tried it, so she didn't dare to run around now, so she could only stay in this "Qinghui Palace" for a while.
Outside the hall of "Qinghui Palace", Zheng Meiren stood outside the palace for a quarter of an hour, and still didn't find any suspicious characters, could it be that she was really suspicious just now.
The palace at night is not necessarily very beautiful, the first quarter moon hangs high in the night sky without stars, it seems a little monotonous, there is no wind tonight, everything is so quiet, and the silent air makes Yue'er feel very uncomfortable.
About an hour later, Yue'er sneaked out of the "Qinghui Palace", she felt that her feet were almost numb, and now the blood circulation in her lower limbs was not smooth.
When Yue'er came out, she found that she was lost and didn't know how to go back to the queen's palace. Alas! I was so tired, I came out and walked for so long, I didn't find anything to eat, and I was almost caught and killed by the man in black robe!
"Who?" A patrol of guards approached from the right side of the Imperial Garden.
It's over, they found out, a maid wandering around in the imperial garden at night, it's also very suspicious, but now I don't know how to run back, so I can only find a random place to hide.
Yue'er hurriedly ran in the direction of the east side of the Imperial Garden, she knew that it was not the palace leading to the queen, but now in order to escape the guards, she had to do so.
There are a lot of trees and flowers in the Imperial Garden, so the guards can't see which direction Yue'er is running.
"You two look over there." They are assigning tasks.
Yue'er hurried to run, what didn't you do all day? As much as people chased and ran, she ran to the back mountain of the imperial garden, the light in the back mountain was the darkest, Yue'er quickly hid in, and when she hid in the rockery for less than five seconds, she ran out again.
On the big tree behind the rockery, a bat flew out. When people are unlucky, they are really unlucky, and nothing goes well.
I knew that when I was in the palace of the queen, I would be pious and worship the Buddha, so that the Buddha could bless myself.
Yue'er ran out from behind the rockery, and the two guards also searched this way, Yue'er saw that there was a road behind the rockery, which was winding and winding, and she didn't know where it led?
No matter, Yue'er thought to herself, let's run away first. When Yue'er used to study, her grades in cultural classes were not good, but she was particularly good at sports, and she once represented the school in long-distance running and swimming competitions in the city, and won a trophy.
It's just right to use it for escape now, don't look at her a little chubby, in Yue'er's own words, that's ST
o
G, not obesity.
She used the speed of hundreds of meters to sprint, fast is fast, but it attracted the attention of the palace guards.
"Chase, over there!" The two guards chased after Yue'er.
Yue'er was startled, how could she be discovered, she ran desperately, ran about five hundred meters, and saw a river in front of her.
Yue'er ran to the arch bridge over the river, if she ran again, there would be the palace gate in front of her, but she couldn't run over there, because there were the largest number of guards, and running over there was equivalent to throwing herself into a net.
But if you don't run, the guards behind will catch up, at this tense moment, Yue'er stood on the arch bridge and looked down, the flow of the river was not very fast, there were a few things floating in the river, Yue'er took a closer look, it was a few maple leaves, and the outside of the palace happened to be a lush maple forest, so to speak, this river was leading to the outside of the palace.
At this time, a thought appeared in Yue'er's mind, she didn't think much about it, jumped into this moat without hesitation, and then took a deep breath and dived to the bottom of the river.
The two guards then ran, and they looked around, but found no figure.
"It's strange, I saw someone running this way just now, why did he disappear all of a sudden?" Those two guards, you look at me, I look at you, they don't dare to say anything, after all, they haven't caught any assassins, and if they report it, they will be punished - if they don't catch the assassin, they are derelict in their duties!
So the two guards ran back in a gray manner, and when Yue'er saw them gone, she stuck her head out of the water, took a breath of fresh air, and then did not dare to delay the time, and swam out along the east side of the moat.
An hour later, Yue'er finally swam out of the palace, and she walked to the shore, which was a dense forest, and I don't know what it was.
Originally, Yue'er was a road idiot, but this time she was a master swimmer, otherwise she would have suffocated in the river.
At this time, she remembered what His Highness had said before, if she got lost in the future, she could look at the moon to discern the direction.
Today's is the first quarter moon, coming out in the first half of the night, the moon is facing west, so Yue'er naturally knows the direction of the east, it seems that this moon is quite useful, Yue'er is also grateful that there are no dark clouds to cover tonight.
The Prince's Mansion is in the east of Fancheng, Yue'er almost ran back, when she ran to the street, she already recognized the road, when she was almost close to the Prince's Mansion, a team of troops passed by on the street, Yue'er didn't know whose army it was, but it looked very magnificent!
In that army, the person at the head rode a horse, and he knew that he was a military general, and he entered Fancheng at night, which was terrible and not simple!
No matter how much, Yue'er wanted to run back to the Prince's Mansion, but she thought about it for a while, she still couldn't go back so high-profile now, she had to go back secretly.
But there are too many guards outside the prince's mansion, three layers inside and three layers outside, and the most important thing is that the guards here are all sent by the king, and His Royal Highness still has no people of his own for the time being.
Yue'er lingered outside the prince's mansion for a long time, but she still decided to give up, this prince's mansion can't enter at all, if she swaggers in, then the queen may have to punish her with death.
But what now? Yue'er was distressed.
