Chapter 2 Breaking Out of Confinement
Qi Kexue stopped calmly, trying to lower her head so as not to let the other party see, "We are Concubine Hui's maids, Niangniang saw that there was a fire here and sent us to see the situation, so we are in a hurry to go back and report, so as not to worry Niangniang." ”
"Oh, let's go, then." The housekeeper couldn't help but wave his hand when he heard this, but he suddenly found something, and stared at Ruo'er, "No, you are not from Concubine Hui..."
Qi Kexue was shocked when she heard this, and raised her head to look, but saw that Ruo'er was so frightened that she was about to cry, and now even a fool can see that she is wrong.
Seeing this, the housekeeper was even more sure that something was wrong with the two, and turned his head and shouted, "Someone..."
But before he could open his mouth and shout, Qi Kexue found out in advance, and suddenly stepped forward and slashed at his neck with a knife, the man's body was weak, and before he could say it in a hurry, he was about to fall, Qi Kexue didn't let him fall to the ground, afraid that he would make a sound and directly reached out to support him, although it was a little difficult, but let him stand.
Fortunately, at this time, everyone was staring at the fire, and did not notice here, even if someone passed by, they would not notice the situation here, so they took advantage of the fact that people were not paying attention and threw him directly among the flowers, the flowers in that place did not grow short, and the sky was dark, as long as no one deliberately walked in, he would definitely not be found, as long as no one found out in a short time, they would not be in danger.
"Miss, I'm sorry, I'm in trouble again." Ruo'er was about to cry when she saw this, and apologized vigorously, and couldn't help but feel that she was really useless, "Miss, why don't you go by yourself, you can only cause you trouble with me, and I can't help you at all." ”
"Don't talk nonsense, if I want to leave you behind, I won't take you out, since we have already come here, we have to advance and retreat together, you just have never experienced such a thing, I believe you will not be like this next time, go quickly, don't leave again, don't rush the time, you also know the consequences of being found by them." Seeing that there were more and more people in sight, Qi Kexue didn't dare to delay any longer, so she had to pull Ruo'er and run again.
But he didn't take a few steps, but at this moment, a group of people walked over in front of him, and a man in a brocade robe was clustered in the middle, even if Qi Kexue hadn't seen Qi Heng, it was certain that this person must be the master of this palace, her husband Qi Heng, Qi Kexue looked at it, her smooth and fair face, revealing an angular cold hand; dark and deep eyes, glowing with a charming color; Thick eyebrows, tall nose, and beautiful lips are all showing nobility and elegance, but from that indifferent face, Qi Kexue only sees thinness and coldness, even if she has read countless people, she has to admit that Qi Heng is really a handsome guy, but such a person can't attract her at all, so that Qi Kexue can't have the slightest idea.
Seeing this, she hurriedly pulled Ruo'er to the side of the road and gave way to the road, so that she was not cautious, she could just give way with her modern thinking, it was good, she didn't think about kneeling or not kneeling at all, but this time Ruo'er understood better, pulled Qi Kexue to kneel down together, lowered her head, and let them not see the appearance of the two at all.
Qi Heng rushed forward, as if he was very anxious about the fire, and when he passed by the two of them, he didn't even look at it and was about to walk over, but he didn't know what made him change his mind and turn back, "What's the matter with you two, instead of fighting the fire, you're here?"
"Back to the prince's words, the slave is the maid of Concubine Hui, the maid saw the fire, worried about the safety of the people in the house, so let us take a look at the situation, the slave maid is going to go back to the mother, the slave and the maid will come to fight the fire after returning to the mother." Qi Kexue lowered her head, and after telling a lie for the second time, she was even more smooth, and this kneeling just now made her figure out where she was at this time, so she paid more attention to the tone of her speech.
But when she spoke, she swept to Ruo'er worriedly from time to time, if she showed her flaws again this time, it would really kill the two of them, so many people were not something she could clean up without knowing it, but fortunately, although Ruo'er was still a little nervous this time, her fingers were tightly clenched together, and she knelt there motionlessly, as if she was keeping her duty.
"Concubine Hui really has a heart, you guys go, let Concubine Hui not come over so late, and have a good rest." Qi Heng couldn't help but nod when he heard this, and then led people to Jiang Xuexuan again.
"Yes, lord." Seeing this, Qi Kexue couldn't help but sigh in her heart, and Ruo'er was even more unbearable, she fell directly to the ground, her body softened, obviously although she didn't show her stuffing just now, she endured great pressure, and at this time she relaxed and couldn't even kneel steadily.
"Stand up, we're not safe yet, we'll rest after we get out." Qi Kexue stretched out her hand to help her stand up, "Okay, Ruo'er, what you did just now was awesome, if it wasn't for you pulling me, I might have been exposed, you really made a great contribution." ”
Ruo'er smiled reluctantly, and ran behind Qi Kexue, if it wasn't for Qi Kexue pulling her, she might not be able to run with weak feet, even if she wanted to speed up a few steps, but she didn't listen to her call.
came to the courtyard wall where Qi Kexue had already planned to escape from the palace, and carefully took out the rope hidden behind, "Ruo'er, climb up along the rope." ”
Ruo'er looked stunned, although she was a maid since she was a child, where had she ever done such a thing, "This..." Miss, how can this work? ”
Qi Kexue understood the crux of the problem when she heard it, knowing that she must not have climbed the wall, thinking that it was okay to be thoughtful before, seeing Ruo'er's appearance, comforting her and saying, "Good Ruo'er, it will be easy for you to hold this rope and step on the wall, you should fight for me." ”
Maybe it was her last sentence that worked, she gritted her teeth fiercely, grabbed the rope and learned what Qi Kexue said, and climbed up, but after all, she didn't have much exercise experience, although she had a rope to borrow, it was quite difficult to climb over the courtyard wall more than two meters high, and she almost fell off with a few slips.
Qi Kexue had already thought of this situation, checking the movements around her from time to time, while reaching out and dragging her, giving her strength, and letting Ruo'er climb up in one fell swoop.
Sitting on the wall, Ruo'er immediately looked back at Qi Kexue, "Miss, why did you come up?" ”
But before she could finish asking, Qi Kexue stepped back, ran quickly, and went up to the wall with a borrowed force, the standard parkour action can no longer be standard, but unfortunately there is no appreciation here, looking at Ruo'er who was looking at her dumbfounded, said, "What are you waiting for, jump down, this time there will always be, right?" ”
"I... I don't dare, it's too high. Ruo'er's face turned pale with fright when she looked below, and the hand held by Qi Kexue suddenly became cold.
Qi Kexue was helpless for a while, and couldn't help but think in her heart, it seems that it is really troublesome to bring a helpless person when escaping for her life, but now is not the time to complain, thinking that it is better to jump first and then follow her down, and then follow her.
But at this time, they heard chaotic footsteps in the distance, and both of them were shocked in their hearts, and they couldn't help but look at each other.
Qi Kexue saw that she seemed to be about to say something, but after she heard someone, how could she care about this, she grabbed Ruo'er and jumped down, seeing that Ruo'er was about to shout, she covered her mouth, so that she only made a whining sound, fortunately it was not big, but it was soon silenced.
There was no danger of falling to the ground, and he was busy pulling Ruo'er to squat in the corner of the wall and didn't dare to make a little more sound.
At this time, those footsteps were getting closer and closer, Qi Kexue could already hear their voices, although she had jumped out of the courtyard wall, she didn't dare to be careless, if she was alone, it would be fine, but now with a Ruo'er, if they found out, it would be troublesome.
"Who's there, hurry up and come out for me, I see you." Soon the person who came over was already approaching, and suddenly scolded.
"Where is someone, Xiaoshan, did you hear it wrong?" One person was kicking the grass in the courtyard wall, and as he spoke, it was obvious that he didn't find Qi Kexue and them, it was just an illusion.
"It's strange, I just heard such a voice talking, how could it be gone, could it really be that I heard it wrong?" Xiaoshan said suspiciously, as if he was still looking around, fortunately, Qi Kexue had already pulled the rope up when he climbed up, otherwise even if the two of them had run out, it would have become a flaw.
Ruo'er was by Qi Kexue's side, covering her mouth tightly, but she couldn't help but tremble, turned her head to look at Qi Kexue worriedly, and saw her calm eyes like water, so she felt that she was really useless, maybe she thought that she couldn't go on like this.
tried to calm herself down, and this kind of psychology hinted that it also had some effect, and soon the trembling was not so bad, so that Qi Kexue glanced at her with some surprise.
"Okay, okay, let's go back, the house is already on fire, you're busy enough and you're still adding to the chaos, I see that you haven't woken up yet, you saw it in your dreams, right?" The man said dissatisfiedly just now, obviously a little unhappy with his troubles.
In the sound of Xiaoshan still arguing, several people gradually walked away and no longer entangled here.
Ruo'er finally breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that there was no movement, "Miss, they really didn't find us?" ”
Qi Kexue smiled, "Ruo'er, we escaped, don't worry anymore." ”
"Are we really out?" Ruo'er still seemed to be a little incredulous, and looked back at the courtyard wall again, and couldn't help laughing.
Qi Kexue smiled, "Okay, now is not the time to be happy, when you are in a safe place, when you laugh, I guarantee that you can live a life that is a hundred times more comfortable than in the palace, and it will let you enjoy the freedom you have never enjoyed." ”
As she spoke, she pulled Ruo'er up and stood up together, and walked towards the route she had explored, but suddenly turned around, sneered and looked at the palace that was still on fire, and couldn't help but think in her heart, what is the identity of the palace and the princess, can these trap me, I am not rare, I want to live my own life, I want to be myself in this life, and I will no longer be controlled by others, this time she will be the master, the previous Qi Kexue, just treat her as if she really died in this fire.
