In the past few days, she gradually realized that His Majesty wanted to keep her as a bird in the yard where she had asked him to come.

He didn't deprive her of food and clothing, but he often teased and treated her coldly. She thought, regretting going to Shenghe Temple that day.

But she was a woman with no power. Even if she didn't want to, the fact was there. She could only use some small tricks and use this look as the only weapon to protect herself, to buy herself some freedom.

But His Majesty couldn't give it to her. She was really a little afraid of him.

During lunch, he mentioned Jiang Qi's name, and her heart suddenly moved. The prince had always been easy to talk to her, so maybe she could ask him for help and send her back to Wuzhou.

She knew that even if she returned to Wuzhou, His Majesty could easily find her if he wanted to.

But she missed her grandma so much that even a gamble, even just a few days of peace of mind, was enough for her.

Ruan Yuyi looked into the distance. The market was clearly in front of her, but she was in a daze. Could she really escape so easily?

Mu Ling seemed a little excited, waving to her from below, "Miss, come down. When the fire in the dining room gets bigger, it won't take long."

She was originally sitting on the eaves of the wall, but now she wanted to put her other leg aside to make it easier for her to get down.

Suddenly her feet slipped and she fell down completely. Her heart was empty for a moment. The tiles fell beside her ears and shattered on the ground outside, but no one paid attention to the movement at the moment.

Mu Xiang quickly pulled her up with quick eyes and hands, and there was a wood spirit below to help her. By the time she regained consciousness, her feet had touched the ground.

Mu Ling hurriedly looked around and asked, "Miss, are there any injuries?"

She subconsciously touched her forearm and turned her hand sideways to take a look. The bright red scratches were particularly conspicuous on the smooth snow. There were slightly bleeding beads on the injured area, which seemed to be particularly serious, but she did not feel much pain.

When it fell down, the long sleeves slid to the top, and the rough tiles may have rubbed against the exposed forearms.

Mu Ling wanted to treat her injuries, but then suddenly remembered the current situation, and was so flustered that he didn't know what to do.

"It doesn't matter." Her voice was calm, she pulled off her sleeves to cover them, then took the power fence and put it on. The long white gauze covered her face, making her vision blurry.

Daiwa, which was broken on the ground, was also indistinct and could not be seen clearly. Somehow, she felt uneasy in her heart. After all, it was a place guarded by the palace guards. Is it too easy for them to slip out so easily?

Maybe it was an illusion caused by staying inside all the time. He didn't care about himself, so why would he send so many people to guard him. Even if he had been discovered, there was no time to delay.

She suppressed her uneasiness.

Several people went to the market, but they actually didn't know where to look for Jiang Qi. They were afraid of bumping into Jiang Huaiyang when they went to Shenghe Temple, so they had to ask around for the restaurant where they went last time.

Occasionally passers-by cast a glance at Ruan Yuyi. Wu's folk customs are open. Although Mi Li can hide her face, it is not cheap to carry around. Mi Li is not popular in Wu country, and is only used by some famous ladies who have not left the court.

Favored.

But all she wants is for others not to recognize her.

As they walked along the river, the scene around them became more and more prosperous. There were business trips, hawking, and noisy people. Only then did the worries in her heart dissipate.

She thought that he had placed her in a relatively remote place. Her heart sank slightly and she gathered up her cloak.

"This girl."

Her steps faltered and she did not dare to look back.

The woman's voice repeated it again, and she came forward and grabbed her wrist, telling her to stop and turn around.

But she said that the palace maid was about to go out to wash her clothes. Suddenly she saw the small kitchen window was dimmed and smoke billowing from the crack in the door. She was startled, dropped the tub of clothes in her hands, turned around and shouted:

"It's gone, it's gone!"

Another maid inside heard the sound and came out. Seeing this situation, she was just a rough maid after all, and she couldn't calm down. The two of them shouted everywhere and brought the guards in, but no one thought of getting water.

Aunt Jin looked ugly, frowned and scolded, "Why are you panicking? Why don't you get water!" She endured her heart beating slightly.

The courtyard became busy for a while. Fortunately, there was a tank of water in the courtyard and a small stream meandering through it in the south, which prevented the fire from spreading.

Aunt Jin went to the main room herself, wanting to know something from Ruan Cairen.

It was very quiet in the wing room. She looked around, frowned, and walked to the inner room. The bead curtains were suddenly opened, making a tiny sound, and some were even tangled in one place.

But it was empty inside with no one around.

Her whole body went stiff, and a voice in her heart told her: It's over, there is no way to escape the blame this time.

She turned around and walked out, and met Wen Zhi, who was wearing a eunuch's uniform and had thin lips and provocative eyes.

She trembled and hesitated for a long time. It wasn't until he set his eyes on her and motioned for her to speak that she swallowed hard and said in a trembling voice, "Ruan Cairen...is gone."

She was eager to excuse herself, "I'm afraid Ruan Cairen escaped. How could the fire suddenly start at this moment? Someone must have set it off deliberately..."

"Okay," Wen Zhi interrupted her, his soft voice was graceful, as if he had known this would happen, "There is no need for you to take care of Ruan Cairen. You only need to clean up the place where the fire broke out."

That’s it.”

Aunt Jin's brows were filled with fear, and she quickly relaxed. Fortunately, she said, "Yes."

Don't look at it, Aunt Jin is much older, and both of them are servants, but there are no distinctions in the palace. Wen Fei is a close official of the new emperor, and for a nun who is teaching, she is also

Considered half a master.

Wen Zhi did not enter the house, but stood at the door, tilting his head, and his eyes fell on the busy small kitchen.

His Majesty really had a plan. He had expected that Miss Ruan would create some noise and then take the opportunity to escape. However, he still couldn't figure out why Your Majesty would relax the guard and create an opportunity for Miss Ruan to escape.

Then he was followed quietly by a suitable person.

The sky is getting darker and darker, but the lights in the street are brightly lit, as if it were daytime, and the sky is reflected with a little bright color. And this scene is even worse than the Fengyue Tower built along the river.

Although the name inscribed on the mahogany and gold-lettered plaque is considered elegant, inside it is full of sensuality and power, and many of the girls come and go. Many of the girls are pink and beautiful, and their clothes are as thin as the others.

While they were drinking and drinking, Ruan Yuyi had been dragged here for half an hour. Since she was in the private dining room, she had already removed the barrier.

She was also coaxed in by the mother here in the name of an inn, and then she realized that this place was not a serious place.

The madam in front of me claimed to be around thirty, but her face was flabby and treacherous. Many people would believe her if she said she knew what was wrong.

She still had a smile on her face and chatted nonchalantly with Ruan Yuyi, inquiring about her current situation. Although the madam seemed very eager on the surface, she called several girls and stood around Ruan Yuyi and her group as if they were watching the fun.
