Feeling her daughter in her arms, her breath really calmed down, and Concubine Dan was very satisfied.
Tonight, no matter what, nothing could go wrong. If Xueer couldn't figure it out and insisted on holding her back, she would have no choice but to cruelly abandon her daughter.
Fortunately, she knows best what kind of character her adopted daughter is. Xueer will not be stupid enough to give up the glory and wealth that is within easy reach for the sake of the past.
In the quiet courtyard, noisy footsteps suddenly came.
Concubine Dan and Dongfang Xueer looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
Concubine Dan straightened her clothes that had not been changed for a long time, and her hair that was messed up by Dongfang Xueer.
Seeing this, Dongfang Xueer also straightened herself out, then stood facing the door of the house, watching the silhouettes of people outside the house, her heart seemed to jump out of her chest.
It seems that what the mother-in-law said is true and not out of her mind. Someone really came to save them.
After today, she will be Dongfang Xueer, the noble princess of Dongyi Kingdom. No one can look down on her anymore. She will be cheered by everyone and become the person she has always longed to be.
The mother and daughter didn't have to wait too long, and the door of the house was pushed open with a creak.
The leader is a man wearing a hood.
Concubine Dan trembled her lips and shouted tentatively.
"Muze?"
Dongfang Xueer became even more excited when she heard the word Mu Ze. Her mother-in-law had just said that her prince and brother's name was Dongfang Mu Ze.
"Emperor, imperial brother?"
She also shouted cautiously.
Dongfang Muze looked at the two women in front of him, one was his mother-in-law and the other was his sister.
He had imagined a noble temperament and outstanding appearance, which did not seem to match up very well. Looking at his dirty appearance, he looked like a beggar on the roadside, and his body also exuded a slight stench.
Concubine Dan's hands were wrapped with bandages, and she also had a bloody air on her body. She had obviously been passively tortured. Damn Jun Lingyun, he didn't keep his word.
Dongfang Muze really couldn't say the words "mother and concubine" and "sister" in this situation.
After receiving the package from the guard, Dongfang Muze threw the package into Concubine Dan's arms.
"Put it on quickly."
Concubine Dan's outstretched hand froze in mid-air. She thought that the first meeting with her son after a long separation would be an exciting hug, but the reality actually slapped her in the face.
However, now is not the time to worry about this. Dongfang Muze has already led people to the yard again and closed the door.
Concubine Dan opened the package and found two sets of black clothes inside. Mother and daughter hurriedly changed them.
Now for the two of them, they are very happy to have clean clothes to wear. Even if they are just black clothes, they feel a lot more comfortable.
Concubine Dan pulled Dongfang Xueer and hurried out of the house.
She had lost count of how many days she had been locked up in this small room, and finally she could see the light of day again.
She relied on this belief to survive the days when she was tortured by Jun Lingyun.
Dongfang Muze didn't even look at them, he only ordered:
"Take them with you and retreat."
The guards who received the order set up the two men and flew up.
"ah!"
Dongfang Xueer was frightened by this sudden movement and couldn't help shouting.
"Shut up if you don't want to die!"
Even through the hat, Dongfang Xueer could feel that her royal brother was not in a good mood, and could even be described as irritable. She suddenly didn't dare to speak out.
And Dongfang Muze's mood at the moment was indeed as gloomy as the dark night. He was performing Qinggong against his body that was heavy with the potion. No one knew how uncomfortable he was.
He ended up in such a miserable situation just to save them. This so-called sister was so careless, so he was naturally furious.
Dongfang Xueer felt the wind whistling past her ears. No one stopped them wherever they passed. The guards who usually wouldn't even let them out of the house were gone now.
Just when Dongfang Xueer's arms hurt from being lifted and she felt like she couldn't hold on any longer, they finally arrived at a remote city wall.
"Cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo."
After the guard learned three bird calls, a long hemp rope was quietly dropped from the city wall.
Dongfang Muze and the guards used hemp ropes to fly up the city wall, and then flew down the city wall in the same way from the other side.
Dongfang Xueer's heart was trembling, and she tried hard to keep her mouth shut throughout the whole process to prevent herself from making any sound.
Finally leaving the capital, there was a carriage to ride in. She breathed a sigh of relief and followed Concubine Dan on the carriage.
The carriage was speeding, causing them to stumble, but neither of them dared to complain. Now they just hoped that they could enter Dongyi territory as soon as possible and escape.
Outside the carriage, there was the sound of horse hooves and the shadows of the trees. Dongfang Muze kept calculating in his mind how many hours were left. He did not dare to delay at all.
Two hours later,
Jun Lingyun curled his lips, the hunting time has arrived!
In the emperor's chamber, the emperor turned over and was about to squint for a while before getting up and going to court.
When Eunuch Fu saw the emperor turning over, he knew he was awake. He called out softly:
"emperor."
The emperor sighed,
"You old guy, don't let me be lazy for a moment."
"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince wishes to see you!"
Eunuch Fu still reported it on behalf of Jun Lingyun.
The emperor sat up and asked, "Prince?"
Why did you come to see him so early in the morning? Are you still angry with him? Then I thought about it, Jun Lingyun is a person who doesn't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything, so to come to him at this time, something big must have happened.
"Let him in."
The little eunuch waited on the emperor to wash and change clothes.
Jun Lingyun entered the palace and saluted the emperor:
"My son, I pay my respects to my father."
The emperor was still angry at Jun Lingyun for disobeying him and not giving him a straight face.
"Whatever happens, the Prince of Labor can come in person."
If this insinuation had been told to anyone else, they would have been so frightened that they would have knelt down to apologize, but Jun Lingyun did not move at all, only cupping his fists and saying:
"Father, Prince Dongyi, robbed Aunt Liu and Chu Xueer overnight and ran away."
The emperor turned around suddenly and almost knocked down the little eunuch beside him.
"What are you talking about? Aren't the mother and daughter under your supervision? How could they be kidnapped by Prince Dongyi?"
The emperor looked at Jun Lingyun suspiciously. His son, who had experienced many battles, wanted to rob someone from his hands, unless he did it intentionally, right?
Jun Lingyun did not answer the question. Instead, he gave the emperor a more tempting argument and said:
"Father, now that the crown prince of Dongyi has touched a felon in the custody of our Yunxiao Kingdom, he is no longer an honored guest of our Yunxiao Kingdom. I am willing to go and bring him back in person. In exchange for the Dongyi City for my father!"
"Go quickly!"
The emperor didn't have time to think too much and urged Jun Lingyun to take action. Rather than finding out the truth, the most important thing now was to hunt down Dongfang Muze.
After Jun Lingyun stepped back, the emperor carefully studied Jun Lingyun's words. The more he listened, the bigger the smile on his face became.
"Haha, hahahaha."
Seeing that the emperor's mood had improved inexplicably, Eunuch Fu stepped forward and asked:
"Your Majesty, why are you so happy?"
The emperor looked at the curious Eunuch Fu with bright eyes.
"The prince I trained is indeed no ordinary person."
The emperor sighed with emotion, turning a distinguished guest on the surface into a fugitive secretly. Kui Jun Lingyun could imagine that the only person who could come up with such a cunning trick was the prince.
Looking back, it turns out that he was a very narrow-minded emperor.
