Chapter Twenty-Eight: Escape

At this moment two or three dark clouds drifted by, and the thick clouds gradually moved, obscuring the bright moonlight.

Shangguan Xi wrinkled her brows and looked at the high wall in front of her, originally this was not too difficult height, it was strange that this cumbersome clothes were really a bit in the way, if she had changed into a night clothes, she would have turned over one by one.

And the reason why she was trapped in the palace for a few days and couldn't get out, the most difficult problem was that the two 'left and right protectors' Caiyun and Caihuan who had to eat, sleep, and even change their clothes were like shadows.

Although in the past, she always envied her sister for being served wherever she went, and she could be handed to her at any time when she wanted anything, but she was used to being alone, and now she feels awkward.

Today, she finally took advantage of the colorful ring of the vigil to doze off in a half-asleep dream, so that she could find an opportunity to sneak out of the Chuxiu Palace, and she may not have a chance in the future. Thinking like this, she was even more determined to escape from this palace compound as soon as possible. The days of being restrained are too sad, and there has been no news from my sister's side, and I don't know what the situation is now, and whether the poison in the body has been resolved...... Anyway, she just can't wait!

She rolled up her sleeves and pinned them to her arms, lifted her skirt again, and then took a few steps back to do a run, and then flipped over with a beautiful flying body.

However, what she never expected was that because it was too dark at that time, she couldn't see the ground outside the wall clearly, and when she thought she was perfect and fell to the ground, she threw herself into the water...... This one caught her off guard and made her drink several sips of water from the pool, and when she finally crawled to the shore, she had the strength to cough up the choking water.

I was not familiar with the layout of this harem, but I never expected to pick such a wall. She was annoyed when she heard a trotting figure approaching in the distance.

"Hurry up and see, what's the sound over there?"

Shangguan Xi realized that the movement just now was too big, so that it disturbed the forbidden army patrolling outside, and she hurriedly took her wet dress and hid in the rockery in front of her.

When she thought she was finally safe, she suddenly found a person sitting on the stone bench opposite the rockery, although the sky was a little dark, she could tell that it was a man, and the man was looking straight at her at this time.

After they looked at each other for a long time, they heard the footsteps of the forbidden army already sweeping into the garden. Shangguan Xi subconsciously turned sideways, hid in the crack of the stone and took off the hairpin pinned to her head, she held the hairpin tightly in her hand, waiting for the moment when she was exposed and fought for her life with the forbidden army.

The whole team of forbidden soldiers outside walked in, and the one who was the leader stepped forward with a torch and a knife to see who the person sitting was clearly, he relaxed his vigilance and put away his blade, handed the torch to the person behind him, raised his hand and clasped his fist and saluted, and the person behind him also saluted.

"Ninth Prince, why are you still sitting in this courtyard in the middle of the night?"

The man sitting on the stone bench looked at him and was silent for a long time, blinking his eyes and slowly raising his hand to point to the sky and said, "Moon...... No, it's not fun!"

The leader of the forbidden army looked up at the sky, a few dark clouds were slowly moving, and the bright moon hanging in the night sky was blocked solidly.

"Nine Princes, go back to sleep quickly, the dew is heavy at night, and it is easy to get cold!"

The tone of the leader's speech really didn't look like he was communicating with a high-ranking prince, but like coaxing a child. And the man who was called the Nine Princes turned his head sideways to look at him when he heard the sound, and then shook his head woodenly, and snorted: "Don't, Xiao Jiu is hungry and wants to eat chicken legs!"

"Okay, good, let's let people prepare for you!"

After he finished smiling, he immediately turned around, and with a cold face, he motioned to the first few to search around, and then told one of his men to go to the kitchen of the courtyard to ask for some food.

The forbidden soldiers received the order and began to search around, but fortunately, Shangguan Xi's body was petite, and she was stuck in the narrow stone crevice, and no one would notice this location unless others saw her come in.

But now someone has seen it, but looking at the man's situation, he seems to be a fool!
