Although Sweet Pea can swim, his calves are short, so this distance is a bit far for him.
Tang Miaoxin simply let him lie on her back and swam with him.
As soon as they got into the water, Chen Yuchen was subconsciously nervous. The water was mixed with an extremely strong smell of blood.
There were too many fish dead in the lake, and there were suspended fish mince everywhere, which smelled very disgusting.
He forced himself to suppress the nausea in his heart, but he could not suppress the fear in his heart.
He has seen the ferocity of those piranhas. At this time, as long as there are piranhas inside, they will be eaten without even leaving their bones.
When he became nervous and his breathing became disordered, he sank into the water.
Tang Miaoxin kicked him, looked at him and said, "Believe me, you won't die."
Her voice was gentle and inexplicably reassuring.
Chen Yuchen felt a little ashamed when he saw her carrying Little Sweet Dou in the water. He couldn't even compete with women and children. It was so embarrassing.
He took a deep breath and started swimming again.
Their travel route was planned beforehand.
Although Tang Miaoxin has been in the palace for a while, she is locked up every day. The most she can do is walk around the imperial garden, and she is not familiar with it.
But Chen Yuchen is a member of the Imperial Guard and always patrols the palace. He is very familiar with this place.
They definitely couldn't swim directly to the stronghold they arrived at. Emperor Qi Xuan would definitely have someone on guard there. It would be very troublesome to alert them.
Therefore, the route given by Chen Yuchen was to a secluded place on the other side, which was very close to the Leng Palace, and the Leng Palace was the place with the most lax guards.
Moreover, Leng Gongli is relatively convenient for leaving the palace. There is a corner door there. Through that corner door, you can avoid the guards to the greatest extent.
Then you can leave the palace through Yiran Gate and then through the Nine Palace Gates. Of course, the premise is that everything goes well.
Tang Miaoxin's water skills are very good. Even though she is carrying a little sweet bean on her back, she is still as nimble as a fish.
Seeing her like this, Chen Yuchen felt very stressed and tried his best to swim behind her.
A quarter of an hour later, they reached the shore.
Tang Miaoxin quickly wrung out the clothes on her body. It was already late autumn and the lake was freezing cold. They were all shivering from the cold after landing.
She had carefully wrapped the medicine she had prepared in oil paper and hid it close to her body. At this time, she hurriedly found it and gave one pill to each of them to ward off the cold. They could not get sick at this time.
She asked softly: "Where can I find clean clothes around here?"
Chen Yuchen thought for a while and then said: "There are some in the cold palace."
Tang Miaoxin immediately asked him to lead the way, and the three of them went into the cold palace in the dark, found a secluded palace, knocked out the palace guard inside, and took out their clothes and put them on.
Sweet Pea is small and there are no clothes that fit him.
Tang Miaoxin simply tore off the trouser legs, tore the sleeves short, and put them on Xiao Tiandou. The loose clothes were tied directly with the torn strips of cloth.
Xiao Tiandou looked at himself and felt that he looked like a little beggar.
He was a little disgusted, but he also knew that now was not the time to be disgusted. It would be nice to have dry clothes and make do.
Tang Miaoxin found a dry cloth and helped him twist his wet hair quickly.
Just after she finished doing this, she heard whistles in the palace, saw someone not far away carrying a palace lantern, and hurriedly walked over, and the sound of messy footsteps was heard.
She screamed in her heart that something was wrong.
It's just that she doesn't know yet whether Emperor Qi Xuan and Qi Jianlan started fighting, or whether she found out that they had escaped.
Chen Yuchen was very familiar with this whistle. He said softly: "This is the whistle for martial law in the whole palace. All palace gates are under strict guard."
Tang Miaoxin squinted her eyes and looked out through the crack in the window. Through the light of the light, she saw that the leader was Wu Linhui.
Little Sweet Dou asked softly: "Mom, they must have discovered that we escaped, right?"
Tang Miaoxin gestured to him to be silent and shook her head slightly.
Wu Linhui's martial arts was good. Although he was not far or near them at this time, it was best not to make any noise.
Wu Linhui did not walk in their direction, but walked to the other side.
Tang Miaoxin thought about it carefully and found that it was the direction of the dark prison.
She immediately understood that Qi Jianlan was ill and Wu Linhui came to see her.
From the time Emperor Qi Xuan got the medicine, it only took him an hour and a half to make the plan, and he also triggered the hidden danger she had buried in Qi Jianlan's heart.
Based on this time, I am afraid that Emperor Qi Xuan placed someone beside Qi Jianlan.
Well, neither of these siblings are fuel-efficient.
She knew that Wu Linhui would look for her everywhere when he opened the dark cell and found that she had escaped.
The tunnel in the dark cell will definitely be discovered, and Qi Jianlan and Emperor Qi Xuan will start a fight tonight.
This process is much faster than Tang Miaoxin expected. Once they start fighting, the entire palace will be under more martial law, making it difficult for them to escape.
Sure enough, Wu Linhui came out of the dark cell very quickly and immediately summoned people to look for people everywhere.
Whistle sounded again all around, and all major sentries were put on combat readiness.
Tang Miaoxin's eyes darkened and she asked Chen Yuchen: "How far is it from the palace gate?"
Chen Yuchen replied: "This is still part of the harem, but it is still relatively close to the palace."
"From here to Yiran Gate, you need to pass through at least six sentry posts."
"If we had not entered an alert state, we would have had a chance to avoid the sentries. In this situation, it is difficult to break through their blockade and leave."
"Behind Yiran Gate, there is also the Nine-layer Palace Gate, and the defense there is getting tighter and tougher.
Tang Miaoxin frowned. She originally thought that Emperor Qi Xuan would have to wait until dawn before arranging for someone to take action. She didn't expect that he was so impatient.
He acted too quickly and disrupted all her plans.
Now that Wu Linhui came to her, it meant that Qi Jianlan was poisoned. After Emperor Qi Xuan wanted to trigger Qi Jianlan's poison, he would immediately take follow-up actions.
It is absolutely difficult to leave under such circumstances.
Now Wulinhui is looking for them all over the palace, and they will be searched here soon.
Once they are discovered, they will definitely be taken back, and everything they have done before will be in vain.
And after being captured this time, it will only be harder to escape again.
Tang Miaoxin weighed everything and finally made a decision: "This situation is very unfavorable to us now."
"Based on what I know about their siblings, there is a high probability that they will explode within an hour."
"When they started fighting, we tried to find a way to leave."
Chen Yuchen felt that what she said made sense. Although leaving during the chaos would be risky, it would be much better than being trapped here.
After all, if mother and son were trapped here, they would most likely die.
After Tang Miaoxin made her decision, she immediately started preparing to leave.
There were footsteps outside again, it was Feiyunqi who was searching for me.
