"All turned off? When?" Xie Yao moved her hands and asked.
"That happened a quarter of an hour ago! All four city gates were locked, saying that no one was allowed to enter or exit without the emperor's will!" Wu Feng said urgently.
The city gate is closed and the princess cannot leave the capital! Once the emperor orders a search...
Xie Yao frowned slightly and looked at Chu Han with a solemn gaze, "It seems that the city gate was closed by Emperor Father's decree. Judging from the time, he probably issued the decree just after I escaped."
From the time Chu Han rescued her until now, even if Chu Ye and the Royal Forest Army blocked her, not much time has passed. However, the city gate has been closed for about a quarter of an hour, indicating that Emperor Zhao Chu issued the decree earlier.
"It seems that I still underestimated his determination to deal with the Xie family." Xie Yao's voice was very deep.
Emperor Zhaochu captured her just to lure his grandfather and Xie Wenwu over, and then catch them all.
The city can be closed down today, and the whole city will be thoroughly investigated tomorrow!
Even if Chu Ye didn't tell Emperor Zhaochu that he had seen her, Emperor Zhaochu would definitely focus on Prince Han's Mansion.
"I can't stay here." She raised her head, looked at Chu Han, and spoke solemnly.
"Don't worry, since the city gate is locked, I will help you break through a city gate and fight out!" Chu Han smiled at Xie Yao, but there was a coldness that was colder than the cold wind hidden deep in his black eyes.
"Break the city gate?" Xie Yao raised her eyebrows, thinking of the two hundred people who forced the palace, "Those who forced the palace were indeed sent by you."
Chu Han nodded.
"The prince just asked those people to pretend to enter the palace, and then escaped to the palace to rescue you. He had no intention of actually breaking through the palace gate. Otherwise, the imperial guards would not be able to stop the prince's people." Wu Feng said with some pride.
With those people here, it would be easy to break through the city gate, and it would be even easier to attack from within the city.
"Wufeng." Chu Han's voice deepened.
"You're too talkative for your humble job." Wu Feng immediately bowed.
After hearing this, Xie Yao felt moved in her heart.
In order to successfully rescue her without hurting her at all, Chu Han could be said to have tried his best.
From the forced palace at the entrance of the palace, to the water with smoke but no fire, and the modified long bow, step by step, the imperial guards around Emperor Zhaochu were consumed, and Emperor Zhaochu had to let her go.
"Fortunately, I have you." Xie Yao looked at Chu Han, her rippling eyes as gentle as water, full of tenderness.
Chu Han smiled, "As long as you're fine."
As soon as he finished speaking, he ordered Wu Feng without looking back, "Gather them together and attack the city gate immediately."
"Your Majesty, which city gate should we attack?" Wu Feng felt inexplicably excited at the thought of attacking the city gate.
"Fight them all." Chu Han's response was short and even more domineering.
"..." Wu Feng was stunned for a moment, and the next moment it seemed as if something was ignited, his blood boiled, and he responded with a loud voice: "Yes!"
Then he turned around and quickly went to make arrangements.
"Which gate do people leave through?" Xie Yao understood Chu Han's intention, which was to raise suspicion.
Although she won't leave, Ziqing and Liang Zhixian must leave.
"I will send an empty carriage to leave from the farthest city gate. As for Ziqing and Miss Liang, I will ask them to disguise themselves and leave the city on foot from the nearest city gate. If the city gate has been closed for so long, there will inevitably be a fire at the city gate.
There are many people who want to go in and out of the city, they can blend in with them and go out of the city." Chu Han's black eyes narrowed and he arranged.
Xie Yao nodded. Chu Han's idea was very good. Even if Emperor Zhaochu could guess it afterwards, Zi Qing and Liang Zhixian had already gone far.
"As for you." Chu Han looked at Xie Yao seriously, his tone low and unquestionable, "You can't stay in the palace any longer. I will ask Hong Ye to come over and take you to the Hou's mansion to keep you for a few days."
"..." Xie Yao immediately shook her head and was about to refute.
"After all, you are pregnant, which is different from usual. If my father attacks the servants in the palace, you will definitely not be able to bear it. Don't worry, with Marquis Zhongyong here, even if my father guesses that you may be there, he will not take action easily.
." Chu Han solemnly stated his reasons.
Xie Yao lowered her head, glanced at her belly, turned around and swallowed her retort, "Okay, I'll give Zi Qing and Zhi Xian their disguises first and let them leave as soon as possible."
"Okay." Chu Han nodded, turned around and went out.
Then, Zi Qing and Liang Zhixian walked in.
Xie Yao explained the arrangement once, and Zi Qing's eyes immediately turned red.
"Princess, I don't want to leave!!!" Zi Qing said and started to cry. She threw herself into Xie Yao's arms and cried bitterly.
She doesn't want to be separated from the princess!
She has been by the princess's side since childhood, never leaving her!
Xie Yao patted Zi Qing on the shoulder and whispered softly, "You are only leaving temporarily. When things here are over, you will come back. I still need you to take care of me. I have been outside this year, and it has been very uncomfortable for me not to have you by my side."
Habit."
"So, you have to take Zhixian to find my brother safely. This is the task I gave you and it must be completed."
"Yes! I know! I will definitely complete the task!" Zi Qing was still crying, feeling extremely reluctant to let go of Xie Yao.
"Okay, time is tight. If you are late, you may not be able to leave the city." Xie Yao patted Zi Qing again and said.
Ziqing knew that she had to leave, and she could not hold back the princess at this time. She stopped her tears and stood up straight.
Xie Yao raised her head and looked at Liang Zhixian.
I wanted to say something, but there was no suitable words, so I condensed a thousand words into a smile, "Zhixian, this time you are implicated by me again..."
Before Xie Yao could finish her words, Liang Zhixian waved her hand to interrupt, with a smile in her eyes, "There is no need to say this. When you were implicated by me, you never said anything like this. We are friends, and I am willing to be implicated by you.
.”
Xie Yao nodded heavily, "Yes, we are friends."
Soon, Xie Yao finished dressing up Zi Qing and Liang Zhixian and asked Wu Feng to take them off.
Before leaving, Liang Zhixian came over and hugged Xie Yao hard, "I'm waiting for the next meeting. I hope you won't make me wait too long."
"Don't worry, it won't be long." Xie Yao also hugged Liang Zhixian.
Zi Qing was at the side, her eyes red again.
Afterwards, Wu Feng left with Zi Qing and Liang Zhixian.
Xie Yao looked at their backs, the look in her eyes was briefly complicated, but soon condensed into a cold light.
Now that the identity has been exposed, there is no need to wait any longer for some things.
After a while, Chu Han appeared, holding a portrait in his hand, "This is the portrait of the maid in Hong Ye's house. You take a look first. Hong Ye will come with the maid in a moment."
Xie Yao took a look and narrowed her eyes slightly, "Prince Hong always walks alone every time he comes here. Wouldn't it be a little strange to suddenly bring a maid with him this time?"
Just as Chu Han was about to speak, Shan Quan's voice suddenly sounded outside, "Prince Qi, Crown Prince Hong has arrived, and Xiangdong has also arrived. They said they came to visit the concubine on the orders of the Concubine Jing."
