Queen Mother Jiang quickly changed her clothes. Fortunately, she took out the human skin mask and wig given by Jiang Fang and put them on. They looked like two twins.
But Empress Dowager Jiang had been imprisoned in this secret room, and she was very weak. She almost fell down before she could get up. Fortunately, she was able to catch her quickly with quick eyes and hands.
Empress Dowager Jiang pushed herself up and tried to stand up, but her steps were still sloppy and she seemed about to fall down after taking a few steps. She said to Xingzhi: "I'm afraid I'll hurt you all if I stay naked.
Even if we go out under another identity, we are afraid that we will be discovered by the guards outside before we take a few steps, and none of us will be able to escape by then.
You should go back along the original route, and then pass a few words to the third princess on behalf of the Ai family. If there is another chance, come and save the Ai family from the fire."
Although Empress Dowager Jiang longed for freedom, she knew that even if she went out disguised as a palace maid, she would not be able to walk, and she was afraid that she would not be able to hide it from anyone.
Rather than letting these two palace maids be captured together with him, it is better to let them escape and bring a message to Jiang Fang, at least to let Jiang Fang know who he was captured and what the purpose was.
But Xingzhi took out a pill from his arms and said, "This is what sister Lichun gave me. She said that the third princess specifically told me.
The Queen Mother has been imprisoned and is afraid that her body is extremely weak. This pill can temporarily stimulate people's potential, but the side effects are relatively large. Do not use it unless necessary."
Empress Dowager Jiang stared at the pill, and swallowed it directly after taking it into her hand. If she didn't escape this time, she would have frightened the snake, and she didn't know how Xiao Huaiyan would torture herself. If there was a chance, she should seize it firmly.
After taking the medicine, Queen Mother Jiang seemed to feel a slight fever in her Dantian, and soon she felt that the wounds on her body seemed to be numb.
So he quickly stood up and left the secret room with Xingzhi.
But as soon as she got out of the secret room, Queen Mother Jiang's face turned very bad. Fortunately, she thought it was a side effect of the medicine.
He quickly asked: "Empress Dowager, are you okay?"
Queen Mother Jiang looked at the palace, took a deep breath, and said with disbelief in her tone: "Is this the eighth princess's palace?"
Fortunately, he licked his lips and did not answer Empress Dowager Jiang's question. He just said, "Empress Dowager, time is pressing. Let's leave quickly."
Empress Dowager Jiang did not speak, lowered her head and followed Xing Zhi. Xing Zhi picked up the bedding that she had just arranged and walked out with Empress Dowager Jiang.
But before leaving the Jade Palace, Queen Mother Jiang was stopped by a guard: "Look at Yan Sheng, is she the maid of the Jade Palace?"
Fortunately, he said quickly: "I brought this in today, are you blind and didn't see it?"
But the guard said: "There are so many maids in the Jade Palace, why did they bring a new person? The princess has given instructions that if there are any suspicious people waiting, keep them all."
Xingzhi said: "How could I not know that the princess said such a thing? There are only so many maids coming and going in the Jade Palace, and now there are still a few left. If I don't bring in some new people, why are you doing this job?"
"
The guard said: "Even if you are bringing a newcomer, you are the princess's personal maid, and your status in the Jade Palace is second only to the princess, but are you bringing a newcomer? You are more like a master.
"
Fortunately, he said with some guilt: "This is the princess's personal bedding. I wouldn't trust it if it were handed over to such a newcomer. You know the princess's temper."
After saying this, Xingzhi wanted to take Empress Dowager Jiang out, but was stopped by the guard. He waved his hand, and several guards suddenly surrounded him.
The man directly took Queen Mother Jiang's hand and said, "Look at this tender-skinned girl. Do you think she is a palace maid? I wonder which palace she was raised as a palace maid?"
After saying that, he was about to push Queen Mother Jiang down. Fortunately, she looked very scared, but still pulled Queen Mother Jiang to protect her behind her.
"How shameless, now you are so bold to tease the palace maid? When the princess comes back, I will definitely tell the princess how you took advantage of your position to tease the palace maid!"
But the guard said: "I don't know whether to punish you or me first when the princess comes back! You and I know this person's identity well. Don't blame me for not giving you a chance. Leave as soon as possible."
, or I’ll take you down too!”
Empress Dowager Jiang patted Xingzhi's hand gently, and then said: "I don't know, my aunt is in charge, so she has never suffered anything.
Originally, I had been enjoying the blessings in this palace, but last time the eighth princess saw that I was smart and asked for me from her aunt, but I had heard that the master of the Jade Palace was not that easy to take care of.
So I have been refusing to come and serve him, but you know, this master has taken a liking to me, so how dare I not come? I am just delaying some time by relying on my status as an aunt.
I couldn't say these words originally, but now, little brother, you have misunderstood, and I don't dare to keep hiding it, otherwise you will want my life."
The guard sneered and said, "Do you think I am so easy to deceive? Look at the way you walk. I noticed something was wrong the moment you came out.
These maids serving in the palace don't have the figure of such a master. They don't dare to walk like you. I won't talk nonsense to you anymore. Take it!"
Fortunately, she stood in front of Empress Dowager Jiang. Empress Dowager Jiang stared at these people. She originally thought that she would be able to step out of the dark room today, but now when she was about to step out, she still did not take this step.
The group of people rushed up and pushed Xingzhi away. Xingzhi hugged the man tightly and shouted: "Run, run!"
Fortunately, she did not dare to call the Queen Mother, because she knew that there were far more people surrounding the Jade Palace than just these few. If they heard the Queen Mother tell her to run quickly, they would be even more unable to escape.
After Queen Mother Jiang heard Xingzhi's voice, she subconsciously wanted to run away, but these people all gathered around her. How could she, a pampered Queen Mother, run away?
At this moment, Thirteen came up with a team of forbidden soldiers to protect Queen Mother Jiang, and asked: "A group of guards are molesting a palace maid, do they still have the sense of shame?"
When the guard saw that it was the Imperial Guards from the palace who were coming, he did not dare to be presumptuous for a moment. The situation in the palace had not changed yet, and Empress Dowager Jiang had the final say.
The imperial guard was naturally under orders from Empress Dowager Jiang, so the guard said to Thirteen: "This palace maid stole the bracelet from the Eighth Princess's palace. She was just ordered to arrest her because of her humble duty."
Thirteen frowned, walked forward and helped Xingzhi up, and then asked: "What happened?"
Xingzhi said: "It's an excuse for them to tease the palace maid, and they asked the general to investigate and clear the slave's name!"
