Chapter 458
As she walked, Ji Yunqing suddenly remembered the night when Concubine Wen took her to see the fireflies when she first arrived at the manor.
Ji Yunqing's eyes suddenly lit up: Alas!
A moment later, a woman in a white dress and holding an oil-paper umbrella walked slowly in the moonlight.
The bluestone slabs were particularly eye-catching in the moonlight, and there was a slight sound of footsteps when walking on them.
After turning a corner, Ji Yunqing looked at the two diverging roads in front of him and fell into deep thought.
Which path did she take at first?
Never mind, just go left.
At the next few forks in the road, Ji Yunqing chose left.
She thought that even if she couldn't reach that place, it would be easy for her to go back.
Thinking this in his mind, Ji Yunqing's face showed a hint of calmness and composure.
Even if she couldn't go back, she could wait until dawn, see someone, and ask for directions and then go back.
Just as he was thinking, Ji Yunqing suddenly heard footsteps.
She stopped, stepped aside and looked carefully.
I saw two figures running in panic, one of them was tall and the other was petite.
Ji Yunqing sighed. Are these two planning to escape? Elope?
Seeing the two running towards her, Ji Yunqing frowned and looked at the bushes beside her with disgust. Finally, she gritted her teeth and decided to stand aside.
She thought it was none of her business, but when the two men ran past, Ji Yunqing's wrist was suddenly grabbed by someone.
She stumbled and was dragged by the two men to run.
Ji Yunqing: “???”
Wait a minute, aren't you eloping?
Why bring her along?
Is it right for three people to elope?
"I, cough cough, I didn't see you, let me go!" Ji Yunqing hurriedly clarified himself.
But no one paid any attention to her.
"Hey, two... lovers, I respect and bless you, can you let me go first?"
Ji Yunqing watched as her arm was being pulled by someone and she ran forward uncontrollably, feeling terrible.
"Big brother? Big brother? Let me go and I will pretend I didn't see you."
But these words were of no use, the two men ran even faster.
Ji Yunqing was very panicked.
You two didn't prepare the money for your elopement, and she just happened to pass by, so you took the opportunity to steal it and sold it to her, right?
"Well... I'm not worth much. I'm the favorite concubine of King Zhao, the most favored one. Otherwise, why don't you take me with you to blackmail King Zhao?"
Ji Yunqing boldly put forward his opinion.
King Zhao is so powerful, he should either redeem her or snatch her back, at least he should prevent her from being sold.
Not knowing what she said wrong, Ji Yunqing only felt that the hand holding her poor wrist tightened even more.
This made her want to vomit blood.
If she had known this, she would not have gone out today.
Why is she running around so late at night?
Look, now you’ve encountered bad luck, right?
Ji Yunqing tried to persuade him in every possible way, but no one paid any attention to her.
Fortunately, the young couple probably ran to the edge of the manor, and the guards in the manor discovered their presence.
"who?"
Ji Yunqing was about to burst into tears: "Save me!"
"They eloped as a young couple and took me with them!"
The palace guards quickly ran over here, "Stop, don't run!"
Listen, listen, what a wonderful sound!
Ji Yunqing was so excited that he almost died, "I didn't want to run, I was forced!"
She has already seen the gate of the manor, so guards, you have to give your support.
The guards were now thirty or forty meters away from them, and the gate was only fifty or sixty meters away.
That's it!
This time it’s settled!
Unexpectedly, the next second, Ji Yunqing's smile froze on his face.
She and the other two people soared into the sky like onions pulled up from dry land, and soon landed on the other side of the gate.
It was the first time for Ji Yunqing to fly so high. He hadn't noticed any excitement or heartbeat, but he just felt...
Ahem, she touched her neck and said with difficulty: "It's so tight!"
Do I have to hold the collar from behind?
Slow!
This one took off into the air——
Ji Yunqing froze his body and turned his head inch by inch to look in the direction of Brother Silent.
Under the bright moonlight, her elder brother's handsome face was deeply reflected in her eyes.
When she was dragged forward, she could only see the back of the head and couldn't tell whether it was a human or a ghost.
Now I can finally see it clearly.
"My lord?"
"why you?"
"what 's wrong?"
Ji Yunqing felt heavy in her heart. Now she was not afraid of being raped, but what was going on?
But the King Zhao responded with only two simple words: "Elope"
"what?"
Ji Yunqing didn't hear clearly, she always felt that she had heard it wrong: "What do you want to do, Your Majesty?"
King Zhao still said two simple words: "Elope"
Ji Yunqing was confused when she remembered that there was another person, so she quickly looked over.
"Concubine Liu?"
Thinking of what King Zhao said about elopement, Ji Yunqing felt a sense of shock in his heart.
You two are having a lot of fun.
She was genuinely confused and puzzled: "Concubine Liu, you and the prince eloped, and you still need my help to witness it?"
Without waiting for Concubine Liu to speak, Ji Yunqing sighed: "You two are really good at playing so many tricks, aren't you afraid that I will learn your best skills?
Did you also trick the prince into staying up late at night and taking me to elope for some exciting fun?"
Concubine Liu was discovered by someone, but that person was Ji Yunqing.
She was struggling to decide whether to spare her life or kill her without any evidence.
If it were anyone else, she would have taken action the first time she saw him, but this was Ji Yunqing!
Now after hearing her words, Ji Yunqing thought that the two were just having fun, and she felt relieved instantly.
"Yes! I want to play something else with the prince, Concubine Ji, please go back first."
In order to prevent her from affecting the next plan, Concubine Liu did not intend to take her with her.
Although Ji Yunqing was somewhat interested in the exciting game between the two, she did not ask further questions.
After all, it's someone else's privacy, and Concubine Liu probably doesn't want to bring her along.
"That's right, it's always a bit embarrassing for three people to participate in this kind of thing."
Ji Yunqing blushed slightly. She was not the kind of person who liked heavy tastes. "You guys go have fun. I'll go back first."
With that said, she prepared to leave.
After just a few words, someone holding a torch caught up with him.
She had to go back quickly.
However, just as she was about to leave, she felt a pain in her wrist.
Ji Yunqing quickly reminded King Zhao: "My Lord, please let me go"
King Zhao mechanically repeated two words: "Elope"
Concubine Liu's face changed and she immediately went to see Ji Yunqing.
King Zhao's condition was obviously abnormal, and anyone who was careful enough could notice that something was wrong.
Time was running out and she had to make a decision quickly.
Ji Yunqing felt pained and puzzled: "Your Highness, you are too eager, aren't you? I am not the one playing the elopement game with you tonight. Can you take me with you to elope in a few days?"
King Zhao continued to repeat stupidly: "Elope"
what?
Is your attitude so firm?
Ji Yunqing looked at Concubine Liu hesitantly: "Do you really need a third person to join? Can I just be a spectator, just responsible for clapping, cheering, throwing flowers, etc.?"
Concubine Liu: "..."
