Chapter Ninety-Nine: Escape from the Palace
Chi Yingchu's face changed suddenly, and she wanted to chase him out to ask him clearly, but he dodged sideways, she accidentally pounced and almost fell into the pool.
"Lord ......"
Lu Yuanbai didn't seem to hear it, she walked away without looking back, she sat on the ground weakly, feeling that this was different from what she thought.
He did it so quickly that he didn't give her a chance to prepare at all!
A few days later, Chi Yingchu was placed under house arrest in disguise, and he couldn't even get out of the house, but the old man brought back by Lu Yuanbai could walk around the house at will.
It was the guards around him who brought her food, and the first thing he said to her was: "The prince has instructed that if you ask, you don't have to send food in the future." ”
She tugged at the corners of her mouth, and she couldn't make any sound in her throat, in fact, her heart was already like a mirror, Lu Yuanbai was going to move seriously.
If she is in Lu Yuanbai's hands, it is equivalent to giving him a hole card, and she must escape as soon as possible, even if she doesn't go to Zhong Jingsong.
At dusk, the third aunt, who had never seen her before, came over, carrying a pot of warm wine and a few buns, through the door panel, like a decapitated meal for prisoners in prison.
"You're not well, can you still drink?" Chi Yingchu said suspiciously, glancing at the people outside through the crack in the door.
The third aunt coughed a few times and explained: "I brought it to you, the prince won't say anything, you can eat with confidence." ”
She thought about it, reached out and brought the wine in, and said thank you, and when the third aunt turned to leave, the corners of her mouth curled a shallow curve.
Poured herself a glass of warm wine, and was stunned by the action at hand, she suddenly felt strange, she had some occasional drinks in her previous life, but she had never had the habit of drinking in the palace.
So how did she find out? Maybe the wine wasn't for her at all.
Chi Yingchu's eyebrows were cold, she tore open a few buns, and found that the bread was a white cloth, she leaned close to the tip of her nose and smelled it, and found that it was the aroma that smelled on the calligraphy and paintings in the third aunt's house that day.
But what is the reason for the ink on the calligraphy and painting, and the white cloth? On the surface, there is nothing strange about it, and it doesn't look like it can be eaten.
She reached for the bun that had rolled to her feet, and accidentally knocked over the glass containing the wine, and the wine was all spilled on the white cloth, and the handwriting was revealed little by little.
"I'll come back to you tonight. ”
Chi Yingchu felt puzzled in her heart, the third aunt behaved strangely, if she really had something to say, she would be able to say it, why wait until midnight?
She didn't think she could talk to her about anything.
When the third aunt came out of her yard, she met Lu Yuanbai who was waiting outside, he turned around and asked, "You gave her something?"
"Don't worry. The third aunt nodded slightly.
"Hmm. Lu Yuanbai responded, and seemed to be very relieved about her affairs, and left without asking any more questions.
The third aunt looked at his back, the light in her eyes flickered and dimmed, and the palms in her sleeves clenched little by little......
Chi Yingchu was vigilant and suspicious, and when she waited in a daze, her head hit the table heavily, and her whole face was about to twist together in pain.
She rubbed her forehead in annoyance, and suddenly heard someone outside shouting about herself, so she hurriedly got up and went over, and saw that it was the third aunt who was holding the key to open the door.
Her hand fell on the door, and it opened with a slight push, and the third aunt pulled her to go out, and she had to follow out a few steps, and shook off her hand and asked.
"What do you do?"
"Now that the situation is urgent, I will only ask you, do you want to leave?" she spoke in a tone that was very different from what she usually saw.
Chi Yingchu frowned slightly, of course he wanted to leave, but he couldn't leave without knowing it.
"I've heard the prince say several times that you are determined to go against him, if you stay, you will definitely not live long!"
"You ......"
The third aunt didn't talk nonsense with her, but directly told her her where she came from: "Since I was arranged by the emperor, who do you think I am?"
She knew that the third aunt was not as simple as it seemed, but she didn't expect that she would be the emperor's person.
"How could the emperor ......" In fact, there is such a threat as Lu Yuanbai, and it is normal for the emperor to want to get rid of him, so why did he pretend to be tolerant of him before?
"I sent you away because you and the prince are not all the way, staying by his side will not end well, you go from here, and I will help you attract people later!"
Chi Yingchu was taken to a corner by her, and she couldn't see the torches not far away, so she asked anxiously: "Then if he knows, what will you do in the future?"
Without waiting for her to hesitate, the third aunt left in a hurry, and the guards thought she was Chi Yingchu, so they stepped forward to chase her, she hid in the night and didn't dare to move.
When she was about to walk over the wall, she found a person staring at her under the tree, and she sighed in her heart, and swept her eyes to find that it was the old man.
She subconsciously held her breath, thinking that if he suddenly shouted, Lu Yuanbai would soon be able to catch up with someone.
But she didn't want him to be silent for a long time, and there was no other movement, and after a long time, she heard him sigh: "If you want to go, then go." ”
"It's just that you shouldn't stop him from doing what he wants to do, let alone help the emperor, there are many things between them that you don't know, and you can only protect yourself if you don't interfere. ”
A strange feeling swelled up in Chi Yingchu's mouth, and she couldn't help asking, "Who are you?"
There was silence all around, and she wanted to ask again, but the people had already gone away, and the torches over there were getting closer, so she had no choice but to climb down the wall.
"People must have just walked not far, the prince said that he wanted to see people in life, and he had to see corpses in death!"
When she heard such a sentence in the courtyard, she left quickly without hesitation, thinking that there was nowhere else to go, but she decided to go to Zhong Jingsong's mansion.
She disguised herself as a different one, and she was almost unrecognizable when she met Zhong Jingsong, and she shouted on the eve of his attack.
"Wait, it's me!" she closed her eyes in fright, tilting her head.
Zhong Jingsong withdrew his hand in time, his cold face relaxed, and his eyes showed some displeasure: "What are you pretending to do?"
Chi Yingchu breathed a sigh of relief, didn't dare to waste time with him, pulled him to a corner of the long street, and asked breathlessly: "Is Lu Yuanbai guilty in your hands?"
He was taken aback and couldn't hide her surprise, and before he could speak, she immediately said, "Go back and check all the people around you, and don't let anyone touch that thing." ”
Perhaps it could be the last straw that saved his life.
"Why?" he pursed his lips in confusion.
Chi Yingchu was anxious to smoke him, it's been such a time, he still has the spirit of breaking the casserole and asking the end, after so many things, does he still think she will harm him?
"I will tell you slowly when I have a chance in the future, including who I am, but you have to do what I say now, you don't go to the palace to find me again, and don't tell anyone about our meeting tonight. ”
Zhong Jingsong thought about her words, and felt more and more that something was wrong, and when he opened his mouth to ask, he found that she had walked away, and then more than a dozen palace guards walked in front of him.
If he guessed correctly, these people should be looking for her Chu Yimiao.
