Chapter 423
The carriage moved slowly in silence, until another more simple carriage came into view of Zhuang Mengdie in the distance on the official road. That is Gu Wanli, who has already packed up and is waiting for her and Zhuang Feiyu in front.
Gu Wanli saw Zhuang Mengdie's figure from a distance, and immediately jumped out of the carriage and rushed in the direction of Zhuang Mengdie.
"Master, you can be regarded as here, but you are really worried about me!" Gu Wanli called happily when he saw that Zhuang Mengdie was unharmed.
Zhuang Mengdie smiled Gu Wanli nodded and smiled slightly, she was used to seeing Gu Wanli who was quite particular about her clothes on weekdays, and now she saw Gu Wanli wearing coarse cloth clothes for the first time, and even her hair was tied up with a coarse cloth of the same color as her clothes, Zhuang Mengdie couldn't help but feel a little funny.
"Xiaogu, just give you the whole cart and shout and sell it on the street, look at you like this, it's still good to sell some melons and fruits to make a living. Zhuang Mengdie couldn't help but joke, and Gu Wanli suddenly smirked embarrassedly.
After greeting Gu Wanli, Zhuang Mengdie entered the car and softly called Zhuang Feiyu, who was still asleep. Zhuang Feiyu finally opened his eyes in a daze, but he was still dazed, his whole person was weak, and his eyes were bloodshot.
"Are you okay?"
Zhuang Mengdie hurriedly helped Zhuang Feiyu up, Zhuang Feiyu leaned weakly in Zhuang Mengdie's arms, and asked in a weak voice: "Sister Die, have we left the palace?"
"Left, we have already left the palace, and now we are on the outskirts of the old Qing city. Zhuang Mengdie replied softly. She hugged Zhuang Feiyu tightly, the high temperature in her arms made her completely at a loss, in this situation, should they stop and hurry, find a place to settle down first, find a doctor for Zhuang Feiyu to see, and then let him sleep peacefully?
Shi Yuanzhou saw that Zhuang Mengdie was at a loss, and his face was worried, so he stepped forward and reached out and gently stroked Zhuang Feiyu's forehead, then frowned and said, "The body temperature of His Second Highness is a little abnormal, even if he has a high fever, it is too hot." ”
Zhuang Mengdie pursed her lips, and immediately picked up Zhuang Feiyu, Gu Wanli hurriedly helped by the side. Zhuang Mengdie carried Zhuang Feiyu to the carriage prepared by Gu Wanli, took a light futon and spread it out, let Zhuang Feiyu lie down, and carefully put the cloak on him.
"How long will it take to get to the nearest town here?" Zhuang Mengdie asked in a deep voice with a furrowed slender brow.
"It's three hours before the next town at the earliest. Shi Yuanzhou paused and said softly: "But I'm afraid that in another half an hour, the palace will find out that His Royal Highness is missing, and then in less than an hour, he will start to search the entire Guqing City, and send troops to pursue him outside the city." The nearest town can only be reached by official roads, but this is too eye-catching, and the two highnesses can only take the trail if they want to avoid the pursuers......"
In other words, if you want to avoid the pursuers, you can only give up the official road and take the trail instead, but in this way, you will miss the nearest town, and Zhuang Feiyu will lose the opportunity to seek medical treatment in the nearest town.
Zhuang Mengdie hugged Zhuang Feiyu tightly in his arms and ordered Gu Wanli: "Xiaogu, set off immediately, and rush to the neighboring town from the official road as soon as possible!"
She must not give up the opportunity to let Zhuang Feiyu seek medical treatment in order to avoid the pursuers, Zhuang Feiyu is now in a very bad condition, the reason why she wants to flee is because she wants to be with Zhuang Feiyu, if she gives up this opportunity to seek medical treatment, I don't know how long it will take to go to the next town, she can't take Zhuang Feiyu to risk, if Zhuang Feiyu has a good job, then what is the point of her desperate escape?!
If they can reach the neighboring town before the pursuers, then the odds are great, and if they are caught up by the pursuers in the middle of the journey, then they can only give it a go.
After getting Zhuang Mengdie's order, Gu Wanli responded at the same time, and immediately waved the horsewhip heavily, and the horse galloped away with the carriage. Shi Yuanzhou had no choice but to jump out of their carriage before it ran far, and watched them disappear until the carriage became farther and smaller in front of his eyes......
"It's too risky to do this......" A trace of worry welled up on Shi Yuanzhou's handsome face, and then he muttered to himself: "Even if you can rush to the neighboring town, but after all, with a seriously ill Second Highness, how can you successfully avoid the search of the pursuers......
Although he was worried in his heart, Shi Yuanzhou also knew that it was useless, after all, he couldn't help them anymore, and it was impossible for the Third Highness to change the path in order to avoid the pursuers, and ignore the Second Highness who had a high fever and did not go away. At the moment, he could only pray in his heart that the two highnesses Jiren had their own heavenly appearance and could escape smoothly.
At that time, when Yuanzhou drove the carriage unhurriedly to the Shifu partial house on the outskirts of the city, unexpectedly, there were several teams of cavalry surrounding the mansion.
"King Fengtianxuan's oral decree, immediately announce that Yuanzhou will enter the palace to meet you!"
Shi Yuanzhou was secretly shocked in his heart, but he warned himself not to panic, let alone show any flaws because of panic, as long as everything was said according to the pre-arrangement, he did not have to worry about being suspected by King Tianxuan.
Moreover, although he is now heavily rounded up, the generals verbally announced that King Tianxuan had announced that he had entered the palace to meet him, rather than arresting and detaining him, so it can be seen that King Xuan was only initially suspicious of him today, and did not have any evidence, so he did not need to panic at present.
It's just that these guards also found out too quickly, which was completely unexpected by him, and he thought that it would be at least an hour later, but he never thought that now the guards had found his side house. Now, the Third Highness and the Second Highness have not yet traveled far, can they really still have time to reach the neighboring town......?
Zhuang Mengdie and his party, who hurried from the official road to the neighboring town, did not know that before they left the city, someone in the palace had already discovered the disappearance of His Royal Highness.
It turned out that Xia Yi accidentally fell asleep when he was reading for Zhuang Feiyu, and the people of Liuyun Hall found that the Second Highness was missing, and the bed that should have been lying on the Second Highness was only disguised with pillows.
The news immediately reached Yang Jingyue, the king of Tianxuan, and when Yang Jingyue hurried to the Liuyun Palace, the Liuyun Palace knelt down on the ground and begged for mercy.
Although the matter was revealed much earlier than expected, Yang Jingyue did not finally confirm that Zhuang Feiyu was not playful and hid until she learned that Zhuang Mengdie, who was under house arrest in the palace, also disappeared.
Even though Yang Jingyue was furious and immediately sent someone to search and pursue him, this had already given Zhuang Mengdie and the others enough time to abscond out of the city.
