Wuyou and Mingbei escaped from the prison, disguised themselves on the carriage, sneaked out of the capital, and fled westward.
Let's say that after Gao Yan returned to the harem, she couldn't help but shed tears when she thought that Ming Bei was not safe. She cried for a while, but a confidant came to retaliate, saying that the emperor was just angry for a moment, and he relaxed under the persuasion of the ministers and no longer insisted on it.
Beheaded Mingbei.
"That's great!" Gao Yan burst into tears and smiled.
She happily waited for the emperor to come down to court, then knelt down on the ground to thank him.
Qi Yu sighed and said, "If it weren't for his father's sake, I wouldn't have spared him."
"Your Majesty, now that Dongling is employing people, I know that you are a wise king and will not act impulsively." Gao Yan knelt down at Qi Yu's feet, thanked her with tears, and gave Qi Yu a button.
A high hat, so that he can't regret it.
"I'm just trying to scare him to see if he dares to mess around next time." Qi Yu sat down, picked up the tea given by the palace maid, took a sip, and said.
"What the emperor said is that this child should be frightened, and I will scold him properly." Gao Yan said hurriedly. She just breathed a sigh of relief and was about to give Qi Yu a slap on the shoulder. Unexpectedly, the eunuch outside reported that the Minister of War had an emergency.
Seek to see the emperor.
"Is there something unexpected at the border?" Qi Yu suddenly looked nervous.
The Minister of War came in, knelt down and trembled and reported: "Your Majesty! General Akibei has escaped!"
"Ah?" When Gao Yan heard this, her vision went dark and she almost fainted. The palace maid next to her quickly helped her.
"How dare he escape?! How did he escape from Ouchi Prison?!" Qi Yu was furious, slamming the table and yelling.
"All the jailers were poisoned and fell asleep. Apparently someone rescued them," the minister said.
Qi Yu turned around, stared at Gao Yan with falcon-like eyes, and shouted, "Is that you?"
Gao Yan was so frightened that her face turned pale. Ming Bei was more important, but compared to the prince and her position as queen, the latter was naturally more important. She knelt down on the ground and cried: "I don't dare, what are you doing?"
I don’t even know!”
"After the empress went to the prison to see General Mingbei, General Mingbei ran away." said the Minister of War.
Qi Yu frowned and glared at Gao Yan fiercely.
"Yes, I went to visit Mingbei, but I didn't do anything, Your Majesty! No matter how stupid I am, I wouldn't dare to do such a deceiving thing!" She cried, but she was filled with hatred in her heart.
After receiving the ministerial order, a few days later, she found an opportunity to kill his entire family. This is a story for later, so I won’t mention it for now.
"Go and catch that traitor!" Qi Yu knocked all the tea sets on the tables to the ground and roared angrily.
"According to the order." Shangshu ordered him to exit the palace.
"Humph!" Qi Yu snorted at Gao Yan and walked out angrily.
"Pass it to Eunuch Wu, Eunuch An!" Gao Yan was so angry after Qi Yu left that she quickly secretly conveyed it to her confidant father-in-law.
Mr. Wu and Mr. An hurriedly entered the palace. After kneeling down, they stood respectfully and waited for instructions.
"General Mingbei has escaped. You two will analyze for me who saved him and where will he escape?" Gao Yan asked.
"Could it be the old general's old subordinates who came to the rescue?" An Gong asked.
"It's unlikely. Those who have old friendships with the old general are all trying to protect General Mingbei. It would obviously be bad to rescue him privately. Who would be so reckless?" Eunuch Wu denied.
Gao Yan was deep in thought, and couldn't think of anyone who could be so bold, but go into the sky prison to rescue the prisoners on death row.
"Could he be from Xiling?" Eunuch Wu asked tentatively.
Gao Yan's eyes lit up and she said, "It's very possible! If Mingbei let the demon girl go, she would definitely not just sit idly by and ignore him. It seems like they must have run to the west."
"What the empress said is absolutely true," Wu Eunuch said.
"Hurry up and bring people to bring Mingbei back to see me! I can't protect him now. If the emperor turns his anger on me, even the prince will suffer!" Gao Yan said.
"According to the order." Eunuch Wu and Eunuch An accepted the order and retreated. They immediately summoned a group of eunuchs secretly raised by the queen, quietly left the palace, and pursued Mingbei westward.
The carriage was walking on the ancient road to the west. Mingbei and Wuyou were sitting in the carriage. Along the way, Wuyou told Mingbei in detail how she sneaked into Dongling, how she disguised herself to enter the prison, and how she charmed the jailer with her fragrance.
, she said happily, with a sunny face, Mingbei was fascinated by it.
"Listen to me, why are you always looking at me?" Wuyou felt his gaze, and her pretty face suddenly turned red.
"I thought I would never see you again in this life, but now I hear you talk and see your smile, it's like a dream." Mingbei put his arms around her shoulders and looked deeply into her eyes.
"I will definitely come." Wuyou said softly.
Mingbei hugged her tightly in his arms. "I have thought about it. If the emperor cuts me with a knife, my soul will return to the underworld. But I will never drink Meng Po soup. I will wander on the Huangquan Road, waiting all the time."
You, waiting for you."
"We won't die, we will live well and be together." Wuyou hugged him and said.
"Okay, we won't die." Mingbei kissed her hair gently.
The two were silent for a while, then Mingbei let go of Wuyou and said, "We can't run like this. Maybe there will be pursuers coming soon."
"Well, the carriage is too slow. If there is a market ahead, we can buy two horses and riding will be faster." Wuyou said.
"Silly girl, no matter how fast I go, I can't do it. The emperor must have known about my escape by now. With his decree, not only are there pursuers behind me, but the front must also have been blocked," Mingbei said.
"Then what should we do?" Wuyou frowned, then smiled boldly and said: "At worst, we have to fight our way out, what is there to be afraid of? We will be safe when we reach Xiling."
Mingbei looked sad and did not answer her.
"What's wrong?" Wuyou asked.
"After all, I am from Dongling. How can I use swords and guns with the officers and soldiers? Letting you go is already disloyal and unfilial, and escaping from prison is cheating the king. Now if you refuse to return and fight with the officers and soldiers, I..." Mingbei
As he spoke, his eyes were full of helplessness and sadness.
"I'm sorry, it's all because of me." Wuyou looked at him apologetically.
"I don't blame you, I just blame fate for letting us meet like this." Mingbei hugged her to comfort her.
"Then what should we do?" Wuyou asked.
Mingbei pondered for a while and said, "Let's not go to Xiling, okay?"
"Not going to Xiling? Then where are we going?" Wuyou came out of his arms and asked in surprise.
"Change the direction, stay anonymous, and wander around the world." Mingbei said.
"Change the direction, hide your name, and wander around the world?" Wuyou seemed not to be mentally prepared at all for the moment.
"They will definitely chase us to the west. If we disguise ourselves and go south, we can avoid the pursuers, but you can't go back to Xiling," Mingbei said.
Wuyou was stunned. Xiling was in dire straits right now, how could she not go back? Besides, Sister Xiaozhu would definitely miss her if she disappeared like this. How could she be worthy of them if she ran away like this?
