"Hey! Wake up!" Jiuran Xun was sleeping when he felt someone shaking him. He opened his eyes in a daze and saw a pale little face facing him under the faint light of the fire, almost giving him a fright.
"Really." Jiu Ran Ling pouted unhappily." I came to save you out of kindness. Can you not look like you've seen a ghost?"”
"You, how did you get in?”
Jiu Ran Ling shook the long key in her hand and replied with a smile,""I knocked out the guard and snatched it."
This time, Jiu Ranxun and Xu Shuangwei's sleepiness was completely scared away. Jiu Ranxun lowered his voice in disbelief,""Jiu Ran Ling, are you crazy?!"
"Stop talking nonsense. This matter can't be hidden for long.”Jiu Ranling said as she took out her clothes from the food box." Change your clothes quickly. I'll send you out of the palace."”
"You can't." Xu Shuangwei held onto Jiu Ranling's hand." Your Highness, we are very grateful for your desire to help us, but we can't let others bear the responsibility for our love.”
" Don't hesitate now." Jiu Ran Ling was unwavering." If you don't cooperate with me, the three of you will be in trouble when you are discovered." Hurry up, we don't have much time."
Being pushed and shoved by Jiu Ran Ling, Jiu Ran Xun and Xu Shuangwei could only change their clothes in a hurry.
Jiu Ranling went to the door to keep watch and took the opportunity to explain,""I know of an exit that can secretly leave the Imperial Palace. The closest exit in the Imperial City is the Glorious Martial Sect. As long as we can successfully reach the Glorious Martial Sect, you will be free.”
Jiu Ranling turned around and smiled at Jiu Ranxun and Xu Shuangwei, who had become eunuchs.""Let's go."
When they were still some distance away from the Glorious Martial Sect, Jiuran Ling noticed that the patrolling guards at night were unusual. His footsteps suddenly quickened as he ran around in a hurry, as if he was looking for something.
"Could it be that we were discovered so quickly?”Hiding in a corner, Jiuran Ling looked at another group of guards passing by and pondered.
"What should we do now?"
"I entered the meeting hall to take a shortcut. I hope nothing goes wrong this time.”Standing in the long corridor of the meeting building, the three of them were sneaky in the darkness.
"Quick, go over there and take a look, you guys! Come with me." The voice of a soldier came from not far away. It grew louder as if it was approaching them.
Jiu Ranling was a little flustered. She didn't expect them to reach the meeting hall so quickly. However, there was no place to hide in the corridor they were in.
The sound of footsteps gradually grew louder, showing that this batch of soldiers had a considerable number. Jiuran Ling's back was against the wooden door behind her. Just as she was looking around for a place to hide, the door behind her suddenly opened!
Jiu Ran Ling was caught off guard. Before she could see the figure behind her clearly, her mouth was covered and she was dragged into the house!
He glanced at Jiu Ranxun and Xu Shuangwei beside him and was quickly pulled in. Jiu Ran Ling was quick-witted. She attacked the person behind her with her right hand to restrain her wrist, and her left hand placed the hidden weapon on the inside of her right arm.
Her movements were noticed by the person behind her, and that person reached out to hold down Jiu Ran Ling. Seeing that her movements had been seen through, Jiu Ranling wanted to use her feet. The man behind her quickly approached her, and a familiar male scent instantly enveloped her nose.
"Shh-don't make a sound," The man whispered into Jiu Ran Ling's ear.
The moment she heard his voice, Jiu Ran Ling gave up struggling. She even heaved a sigh of relief and collapsed in his arms.
There was a commotion outside the door. After a long time, it gradually quieted down.
The man behind Jiu Ranling listened for a while and confirmed that there was nothing unusual before letting go of Jiu Ranling. He smiled apologetically and said,""I'm sorry, Ling-er. Did I hurt you?”
"I'm fine." Jiu Ran Ling shook her head. Fourth Brother, thank you."
Jiu Ranxun and Xu Shuangwei also looked at Jiu Ranyou gratefully.
"Just now, a subordinate came to report that Tenth Brother had escaped from the imperial prison.”Jiu Ranyou lit the lamp and lit up the room." I know that the two of them can't escape with just the two of them. It's very likely that you're the one who got involved.”
"Fourth Brother, I also know that this matter can't be hidden for long. It's long past the time for the shift change, so the guard I knocked out must have been discovered by now. The matter might have already reached Imperial Father. My good fourth brother, we'll leave now. Just pretend that you don't know about this.”
After hearing Jiu Ran Ling's words, Jiu Ran You frowned.""Nonsense! Do you think you can send them out? If you apologize to Imperial Father now, it might not be too late.”
"I don't want it." Jiu Ranling rejected Jiu Ranyou's suggestion." I must send them away!”
Jiuran You looked at Jiuran Ling and asked after a while,""Ling-er, are you serious?"
"I'm serious." Jiu Ran Ling nodded.”
The determination in her bright eyes was transmitted to Jiu Ranyou's eyes. He sighed and waved his hand to summon his subordinates."Prepare a carriage."
"Fourth Brother, you…" It was Jiu Ran Ling's turn to be shocked.
"The Imperial City has already deployed many Imperial Army soldiers. If you go out like this, the possibility of being caught is very high. I'll send you out of the city so that I can be at ease.”
"Fourth Brother, helping them elope was my own decision. I can't let you cover up for my mistakes.”
Jiu Ranyou patted Jiu Ranling's head and smiled.""Ling-er, why are we so careful?”
After a while, the attendant came to report that the carriage was ready. Before Jiu Ranling could convince Jiu Ranyou, he reached out his hand to her.""There's no time to lose. Ling-er, let's set off.”
Jiu Ranling bit her lower lip and was about to ask Jiu Ranxun and Xu Shuangwei to leave when Jiu Ranyou seemed to have discovered what she was thinking and held her hand.""Listen to my arrangements now and don't cause any more trouble.”
Pulled by Jiu Ranyou, Jiu Ranling had no choice but to let him bring them into the carriage. They arrived at the Yaowu Gate safely, but were immediately stopped by the soldiers guarding the city.
"Who are you?" The guard shouted.
"It's me." Jiu Ranyou stuck his head out.
" Oh, it's Your Highness." The guard cupped his hands at Jiu Ranyou." I'm sorry, Your Highness. His Majesty has ordered that no one is allowed to leave the city!"”
Jiu Ranyou knew this would happen. He took out the emperor's imperial medal and handed it to the guard."This is the pass token given by Imperial Father, granting me permission to enter and exit the city at will. I am in a hurry to leave the city to handle a case. If I am delayed, you will not be able to bear the responsibility.”
After the guard checked the gold medal and confirmed that it was correct, he opened the city gate and retreated."Your Highness, please."
The carriage leisurely left the Imperial City without encountering any more obstacles. Jiu Ran Ling knew that it was because of Jiu Ran You. No one would associate the usually calm him with Jiu Ran Xun's escape from the prison.
When they could no longer see any soldiers from the Imperial City, Jiu Ranyou and Jiu Ranling alighted from the carriage in a remote area. Jiu Ranling handed the money she had prepared in advance to Xu Shuangwei."Although this silver isn't much, it's more than enough for you to live a small life.”
Xu Shuangwei took the parcel and her eyes were filled with gratitude. Your Highness Ling, Your Highness Four, we really can't repay your kindness…"
"If you can live a happy life, then you have not let us down."”
"Let's go." Jiu Ranyou said," The longer you stay here, the more dangerous it will be. Once you leave, don't come back and don't contact the people of the Imperial City.”
At this moment, Jiu Ran Xun pulled Jiu Ran Ling back,""Sister Ling, my mother…I'll leave her in your hands.”
"Don't worry. If you leave, Lady Mirror will be fine.”With Lady Mirror's intelligence, she would be safer in the palace without her only son who could threaten her.
Jiu Ranyou ordered the coachman to set off. The wheels of the car rolled up the yellow dust, sending the couple to their unknown future.
When the carriage disappeared from sight, Jiu Ranling heaved a sigh of relief and tugged at Jiu Ranyou's sleeve.""Fourth Brother, they won't be captured by Imperial Father, right?”
"It's alright." Jiu Ranyou comforted him," That coachman is my confidant. He will definitely escort them to a safe place. Tenth Brother and the others were not stupid. They would definitely arrange their own lives well in the future.”
"That's good." Jiu Ran Ling was slightly relieved.
" Ling-er," Jiu Ranyou suddenly looked down at her." Why are you so determined to make them happy?”
Jiu Ran Ling was stunned. His gaze was blocked by Jiu Ranyou. It was as if he wanted to see through her eyes and see the deepest thoughts in her heart.
Jiu Ranling turned her eyes away and looked in the direction of the carriage. After a long time, she finally sighed,""Holding your hand and accompanying you to the end of the world, this might be my lifelong dream. I want them to be happy because I can only waste my time in this palace.”
He turned around and saw Jiu Ranyou's gaze, which was so deep that it seemed like he wanted to carve himself into his bones. His dark jade-like eyes were filled with sorrow and sorrow.
