Chapter 105: Escape
Seeing that Rong Xiuyuan couldn't count on it, he was still distracted by Rong Xiuyuan's sudden confession. Jian Xiaozhu fell into great distress for a while.
Huyantuo's side, in order to express his sincerity to Xiyun Kingdom, he advanced the date of Huyanzhen's harmony. In this way, there were only less than ten days left before they sent Hu Yanzhen to Xiyun Kingdom.
Just when Jian Xiaozhu was anxious about the escape plan, Hu Yanzhen suddenly told Jian Xiaozhu that Hu Yanzhen's inner should who was still in the palace contact Alain, and told her that Hu Yanzhen was furious when he learned that Hu Yanzhen was going to be sent to Xiyun Kingdom and relatives, so he decided to find an opportunity to take her out of the palace.
"I escaped this time, and I will live with the eldest brother in the future. However, I will also ask the Great Emperor Brother to send someone to send you to the border of Dongyuan. ”
Unexpectedly, at a critical time, Hu Yanji also came in handy. Faced with the sudden good news, a large stone in Jian Xiaozhu's heart suddenly fell to the ground. It's just that the thought of having the opportunity to go home soon, Jian Xiaozhu's heart is not only looking forward to it, but also faintly uneasy.
Although after leaving Zhang's Mansion, Jian Xiaozhu imagined countless scenes of revenge after returning home, whether it was in his dreams or through brain supplementation on weekdays. But when the signs of hope emerged, she found that it was difficult for her to break the fourth lady without any evidence.
But as long as you can get home, take your time with the rest.
There were still two days left before Hu Yanzhen was sent to Xiyun Kingdom, and everything seemed to be calm in the Beisu Palace. Jian Xiaozhu was also worried about what Hu Yanzhen would do if she didn't leave, she looked at Hu Yanzhen with some concern, but saw that Hu Yanzhen's face was pale, and the whole person was trembling. This made Jian Xiaozhu ask, "Princess, what's wrong with you?" ”
"I didn't ...... It's nothing. ”
Although Hu Yanzhen was shaking her head, her eyes looked a little flustered. Jian Xiaozhu thought that Hu Yan was really afraid that the plan would not go as smoothly as expected, so she was nervous, so she comforted: "Princess, I believe that the eldest prince will definitely come and take you away as promised." ”
It's just that the panic in Hu Yanzhen's eyes has not decreased by half a point. She suddenly grabbed Jian Xiaozhu's hand and said tremblingly, "Ah Zhu, I'm ...... I'm scared. ”
"Princess, what's wrong with you?"
"I ......"
Hu Yanzhen was just about to say something, but there was a knock on the door of her dormitory at this time. Hu Yanzhen tried his best to calm himself down, and then asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Then I heard the guard outside the door say, "Your Royal Highness, the second prince asked me to take you to meet him." ”
"I see."
Hu Yanzhen tidied up his dress, then took a pot of wine brewed by Jian Xiaozhu, and followed the guards out. After Hu Yanzhen left, Jian Xiaozhu didn't know why, and a huge uneasiness began to emerge in her heart. She paced up and down the room, always feeling that something bad was going to happen.
Time gradually passed, and Jian Xiaozhu couldn't help but feel worried when he saw that Hu Yanzhen hadn't come back for a long time. She walked out of the room and wanted to find out if there was anything going on on Huyanzhen's side, but saw Huyanzhen walking back with a wine jug. Seeing Hu Yanzhen's frowns, Jian Xiaozhu stepped forward worriedly: "Princess, are you okay?" ”
Hu Yanzhen grabbed Jian Xiaozhu's arm, pulled her into the house and closed the door. She first listened to the movement outside by the door, and saw that there was nothing abnormal, so she whispered to Jian Xiaozhu: "Ah Zhu, the eldest brother's people will come to pick us up tonight." ”
"That's great." Jian Xiaozhu said happily, but there was no trace of joy on Hu Yanzhen's face. Hu Yanjin walked over to the table and wanted to put the flask on the table. But because of the constant trembling of his hands, the flask fell to the ground with a "bang".
"Princess!" Jian Xiaozhu ran to Hu Yanzhen's side, but saw that her whole body was trembling constantly. This made Jian Xiaozhu worried: "Princess, what happened?" ”
"The eldest brother's people gave the drug to Alain, and asked me to put it in a wine jug and give it to the second emperor brother to drink. In this way, at night, even if something happens, the second emperor brother can't take care of it. It's just that...... Just ......"
Jian Xiaozhu was surprised: "Just what?" ”
Hu Yanzhen said: "I didn't put the medicine in. I was scared, and I couldn't do such a thing as drugging the second emperor's brother, so I ......"
As he spoke, Hu Yanzhen took out a paper bag from his sleeve. Jian Xiaozhu thought to herself, fortunately, Hu Yanzhen didn't put the medicine into the wine jug. Judging from the relationship between Hu Yanzhen and Hu Yantuo, if this is poison, Hu Yanzhen will not be able to wash it away even if he jumps into the Yellow River.
"Don't worry, princess. We're sure we'll be able to escape without alarming the second prince. ”
Jian Xiaozhu comforted Hu Yanzhen while taking the paper bag from Hu Yanzhen's hand. Time passed, and soon, it was evening. There was silence in the palace, and outside the door, there seemed to be no sound of movement.
Jian Xiaozhu only felt that something was getting more and more wrong. Until the door is opened. Alan walked in and said to Hu Yanzhen, "Princess, the person who came to pick you up has arrived. Let's get out. ”
Hu Yanzhen looked out the door and asked, "But what about the guards outside?" ”
"Don't worry, princess. The man and I of the Great Prince were drugged in the broth for dinner. The guards outside are almost asleep, let's get out quickly. ”
Following Alan out, Jian Xiaozhu saw that the two guards guarding the door were really asleep. The hallway outside was quiet, and no movement could be heard. Just when Jian Xiaozhu was puzzled, a cook named Qinghu came over.
Jian Xiaozhu had some impressions of this cook. When he was boiling medicine in the kitchen before, Jian Xiaozhu noticed this person with a hideous scar on his face, and thought that this person looked fierce and vicious, maybe he was a person with a story behind him.
When he saw Qinghu, Alan said to Hu Yanzhen: "Princess, he is the person arranged by the eldest prince in the palace. ”
Qinghu saluted Huyanzhen: "Princess, let's get out of here quickly." ”
Hu Yanzhen nodded: "Let's go." ”
It's just that when they walked out of the palace, they suddenly heard a resounding sound outside. Hu Yanzhen looked at Qinghu suspiciously, and Qinghu said, "Princess, there is the person of the eldest prince outside. ”
Hu Yanzhen was puzzled: "Why did the eldest brother bring so many people to the palace?" ”
Qinghu replied: "The eldest prince is dissatisfied with the series of decisions made by the second prince, so he wants to reclaim his position as heir tonight. ”
"What?" Hu Yanzhen was surprised: "How can this be? Is the eldest brother going to fight with the second emperor? ”
"Princess, these are not your concerns. Let's get out of here first. ”
Hu Yanzhen looked at the people and horses rushing towards the imperial city worriedly, while Jian Xiaozhu thought in his heart, judging from this momentum, it is estimated that the drug that this Qinghu Tuo Alan brought to Hu Yanzhen may really be poison.
As Qinghu walked all the way out of the scope of the imperial city, it was getting farther and farther away from the imperial palace in the north. During this period, Hu Yanzhen kept turning his head, with a worried look on his face. Jian Xiaozhu saw that Qinghu had been taking them to the wilderness far away from those herdsmen's tents, so he asked, "Qinghu, where are you going to take us?" ”
"It's just ahead, not far away."
It's just that Jian Xiaozhu saw that there was a deserted hilly area ahead. As the group walked into the area with tall trees, a man dressed as a herdsman stepped out.
The man looked at Hu Yanzhen and asked, "Qinghu, this is the princess, right?" ”
"Yes."
Seeing Qinghu nodding, the man suddenly pulled out his knife and stabbed at Hu Yanzhen.
