After a detailed discussion, the escape plan was finalized. Li Niang would stay by Shen Fu's side, and Jiang Ling 'er would sneak back to Ji Country and hide. No matter how Mu Chen searched the various countries, it would be difficult to find her.
At night, Jiang Ling 'er set off. Shen Fu sent six people to escort her. Two of them were experts from Ji Country, who were also his personal guards.
At noon the next day, Mu Chen got the Marquis of Ji to execute the Grand Prefect Deputy as he wished. He then came to the Shen Imperial Uncle's residence in high spirits to pick up the person. In the end, the State Brother-in-law was asked a baffling question. It took him a long time to figure out what was going on. He could not find his son again.
Now that Shen Fuzhen was in the courtyard with Li Niang, how could he care about Mu Chen? Anyway, he had already disappeared and he couldn't pick him up. He still had to deal with it even if they met. He would let his father deal with it himself!
"She still lied to me!" Mu Chen looked up at the sky. There were no clouds for ten thousand miles, and it was clear and clean. The light blue and the bright sunlight were unable to warm his heart. He let out a long cry, and his heart let out,"I will not let this go!"
Many days later, Jiang Ling 'er arrived safely in the Ji Nation. Her guards retreated back to the country. Jiang Yintian's trusted aide, Hu Sou, had been waiting at the city gate three days in advance and had not left for three days and three nights.
"I really didn't expect Mr. Hu to be alive today!”Jiang Ling 'er mischievously joked with him. She was almost bored to death along the way. The guards that Shen Fu had found for him were all good at martial arts, especially his personal guards. They were all blockheads and people who cherished words like gold.
"It's all thanks to the eldest prince and the secret protection of the jade beauty!”Hu Suo had been exposed to the wind and sun at the city gate for the past few days. He did not even dare to stay in the shop, afraid that he would miss out on Jiang Ling 'er. Now, he was a disheveled middle-aged man with a gray beard.
"Beauty Yu is secretly protecting me because of me!”Jiang Ling 'er tilted her head and toot. Her words could anger people to death. She had completely learned them from Hu Sour.
"Whatever you say!”Hu Sou pretended to listen to everything. In fact, he deliberately did not mention Jiang Ling 'er. Who asked Jiang Ling' er to say something that would make anyone unhappy?
Hu Pao was her elder brother's teacher, who taught Jiang Yintian. Jiang Ling 'er had been dealing with him since she was young. She liked Hu Pao's honesty and straightforwardness, so she learned his eloquence and even improved it.
Although she and Jiang Yintian both liked him, Marquis Ji hated him to the core. He hated him more and more. He wanted to kill him. He almost lost his life a few times. Fortunately, he saved him in private and on the surface. Otherwise, he would have died more than ten times. Even the nine lives of a cat would not be enough for him.
"Hurry up and change your clothes. I'll wait for you outside!”Hu Spiced handed Jiang Ling 'er a set of clothes and a bunch of them. He got off the carriage and stood guard outside. Jiang Ling' er changed her clothes and pulled open the curtain of the carriage window to let Hu Spiced up.
"This is a palace maid's clothes, why do you want me to change into this!”Puzzled, Jiang Ling 'er tugged at her sleeves and pulled them left and right. She wondered if she was trying to trick her into going back to get married!
It wasn't easy for Big Brother to help her escape from the palace. Only Shen Fu could help her escape from Ji Country. So Big Brother couldn't trick her back to get married. Besides, Big Brother loved her so much. How could he bear to see her marry someone she didn't love? She would waste her youth and years. She would suffer in vain until she died of old age and weakness.
"The most dangerous place is the safest place. Young Master Shen has already told us in his letter. You said it yourself, so the eldest prince has found a more dangerous and safer place for you. It is the northern garden in the back hall of the palace!”Hu Savage looked at Jiang Ling 'er with a smug expression. This was an upgrade to her hiding plan. In fact, Hu Savage was the one who had upgraded the members. However, if Jiang Ling' er knew about it, she would definitely go against him. With Jiang Ling 'er's bad temper, it was certain that she would not listen to him.
"Big brother is wise. This move is indeed brilliant!”Jiang Ling 'er couldn't help but applaud in praise. How would she know that this idea wasn't Jiang Yintian's?
The back hall of the palace was a place where only the Emperor's women and children could live. Usually, it was the palace maids who came in and out. Mu Chen was a military official and could not go there once in 800 years.
In addition to Jiang Yintian's protection, there was also the jade beauty to take care of the rear hall. They could only hide in a corner where the palace servants did not often go. The north garden of the palace had been abandoned for many years and no one went there.
She had chosen to return this time for Ji Jing. Otherwise, she would not be able to hide anywhere else.
Ji Jing must have been locked up in a dungeon somewhere in the palace. Thinking about it carefully, it was indeed the best choice to stay in the palace. There were also delicacies in the palace to eat and drink. It was also convenient to ask for information from Jade Beauty and Big Brother.
"Can I still come out after going in?”Jiang Ling 'er was careful. She had to confirm this matter.
"I promise you, I don't care about the eldest prince. You can go in if you want, but when you come out, I promise to bring you out!”Hu Sou's words were sincere and credible. In order to add more weight, he raised three fingers."I swear to the heavens that I'm not lying!”
Jiang Ling 'er believed Hu Sao's words and followed him into the palace. Hu Sao approached Jiang Ling' er and whispered to her,""I'm going to inform the prince. You know the way, right? I can't walk around the back hall with you!”
"Of course I do. This is my house!”Jiang Ling 'er pouted at Hu Sour and followed him.
This was the place where she had lived since she was young. She was very familiar with it. How could she not know the way? She had not returned for nearly two years, and it felt as if she had never left.
When Jiang Ling 'er saw the patrolling guards not far away, she quickly lowered her head and bent her body, pretending to be submissive as she avoided them. The guards of the palace ignored her and treated her as invisible. She was just a weak and timid ordinary palace maid. There was nothing to see.
"Jade Beauty!" When Jiang Ling 'er arrived at the northern courtyard of the palace, she saw the jade beauty dancing alone in the courtyard. Although there were no musical instruments accompanying her, she could still feel the melody. Her dancing skills were taught by the jade beauty.
"I heard that you came to the most dangerous place to find safety, so I came here every day to add some liveliness to this abandoned garden.”From her voice alone, Beauty Yu could tell that the person who had called her at the entrance of the garden was Jiang Ling 'er.
The jade beauty was wearing a light yellow dress. She picked up the zither on the ground and looked at Jiang Ling 'er playfully with a gentle smile on her face.
When Beauty Yu entered the palace, she was sixteen years old. She was originally the daughter of Liu Cheng, the official of the Imperial Prefect. The official saw that she was beautiful and in order to please Marquis Ji, he sent her to the palace under the name of his adopted daughter.
The jade beauty was beautiful, young, and beautiful. Her zither was superb, and she was also good at dancing. Marquis Ji liked her very much and immediately took her as his concubine.
Not long after entering the palace, Jade Beauty had been favored by the Emperor and made the concubines unhappy. She had the intention to harm him. Thanks to the protection of Jiang Ling 'er's mother, Marquis Ji's First Madam, she was able to save her life. Therefore, she was sincerely grateful to the First Madam and often played songs to relieve her boredom.
Jiang Ling 'er was also a person who loved dancing, literature, and entertainment. The Eldest Mistress felt that the two of them had similar interests. Her daughter usually had a palace maid by her side. She was too lonely, so the two of them got to know each other.
After meeting once, the two of them became familiar with each other. After that, the jade beauty would visit Jiang Ling 'er's residence every two or three days, the Blessing Spirit Building to the south of the palace. From then on, there was one more person who often came and went to the Blessing Spirit Building.
Jade Beauty liked to play the zither, and she was also good at dancing. Jiang Ling 'er also took her as her master and learned some skills. From then on, the two of them often played and danced together, and the music and dance were very harmonious.
"Have you ever missed me?" Jiang Ling 'er ignored the precious zither in the jade beauty's hand and rushed forward to give her a bear hug. Although the jade beauty was her father's concubine, Jiang Ling' er treated her as a close friend.
"Yes, I do! I'm so happy to hear that you're coming back!”As the jade beauty spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.
"I don't feel comfortable with this zither between us, so I won't hug it for now!”Jiang Ling 'er was too excited just now and did not notice or try the existence of the zither. It was the beloved item of the jade beauty. It was said to be an ancient zither. Marquis Ji had given it to her last time. She liked it very much at first sight. Fortunately, she did not hurt it.
"You must be tired from the journey. Let's go in and rest first. I've cleaned up the North Park these days. Other than the old furniture, there are few daily necessities. I'll go prepare food for you first and bring it over later!”Beauty Yu led Jiang Ling 'er into her bedroom and made arrangements. Then, she left the northern courtyard and returned to her palace to prepare food.
Beauty Yu had tidied up the entire northern courtyard. She was a delicate woman who only knew how to play the zither and dance. It must have taken a lot of effort for her to clean up the northern courtyard so quickly. Even though the northern courtyard had been abandoned for a long time and looked cold to outsiders, to Jiang Ling 'er, it was warm and caring.
In the evening, Yu Niang came to the north courtyard with food and woke Jiang Ling 'er up from her dream.""I remember that you like to eat at night, so I didn't send you here early. Seeing that you were sleeping soundly, I guess you didn't sleep well on the way here!”
"If I don't eat at night, I'll be hungry in my dreams. Actually, it's not much different from you guys. We eat twice a day, but the timing doesn't match!”Jiang Ling 'er wasn't a special existence. As far as they knew, she had led two people astray. One was Li Niang, and the other was Shen Fu. Li Niang's condition was more serious. Because of the Hundred Flower House, she would be very hungry if she didn't eat at night. Shen Fu only ate when they were together. Most of the time, like everyone else, she didn't eat anything for breakfast and afternoon.
"Good, good, good. It's all your reason!”The jade beauty had always given in to her, and was slightly different from Li Niang. After all, she was Li Niang's master, and the jade beauty was her father's woman. The difference in status made Li Niang think more of her as a master, while the jade beauty thought more of her as a close friend.
