She could only hear the sound of wind whistling in her ears. She ran wildly for a while in the dark and chaotic night, and finally saw the abandoned residence of Concubine Peng De. She didn't bother to do anything else. She skillfully found the entrance to the side hall and ran in.
This is the old palace of Concubine Peng De. Everyone in the palace knows that this is a taboo place. Emperor Longqing doesn't like it, and Concubine Peng De lived here and died miserably, so no one would come here.
No one lives here. Although it is in the palace, weeds have grown everywhere.
The wet nurse closed the door as soon as she entered, looked around the dark and eerie palace carefully, and called Wei An's name in a low voice.
This was the idea Wei An had told her before, asking her to go out first to incite the eunuchs and palace maids and attract the attention of the rebels. By then, the rebels would be caught off guard and would definitely think that they had taken away the important Sixth Prince and would definitely chase them out. The rebels who were preparing to surround and seal off the Lan Yue Palace would also be called to chase after these escaped eunuchs and palace maids.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wei An will take the Sixth Prince away.
Concubine Lin Shu has been running the palace for so many years, turning the former Fengzao Palace into the current Lanyue Palace. She has always had some arrangements for this palace. The wet nurse could not keep it secret at this time and told her everything.
She also took a detour and successfully avoided the rebels and ran here.
The palace was gloomy. A crescent moon hung on the treetops, and the pale light made the place even more eerie. From here, she could hear the howling of ghosts and wolves crying for mercy outside. She felt frightened and moved carefully step by step in the grass, mumbling Wei An's name.
This is also what Wei An told her, asking her to just call her by her name. The rebels might not know her name, so it would be safer this way.
She walked for a while, until she could no longer bear the fear, and finally she heard the cat meow.
Wei An had said before that she would pretend to meow like a cat, asking her to be careful. She responded and followed the sound, and sure enough, she found Wei An in the east hall.
Wei An was still holding the Sixth Prince in her arms, and she looked very disheveled. Because she was escaping, she had no time to care about her appearance. She was afraid of leaving any traces, so she took off her head ornaments and threw them away to confuse people. Now her hair was simply tied up, and a lot of it was scattered and hanging by her ears. Compared with her usual caution, she looked particularly funny.
The nurse could not laugh, and hurried forward to hold the Sixth Prince. Seeing that the Sixth Prince was not crying and was already drowsy, she almost shed tears: "Thank you, Princess, thank you, Princess..."
You know, although there is a secret passage, it is still very dangerous to carry the child here. It takes a lot of energy for Wei An to be able to keep the Sixth Prince so quiet, which is really rare.
Wei An finally had time to brush all the loose hair behind his ears, tidied his hair, and shook his head, saying, "It's nothing. I promised Madam Shufei that I should take good care of the Sixth Prince for her."
The nurse patted the Sixth Prince in her arms and couldn't help asking Wei An, "Princess, are we safe now?"
Wei An pricked up his ears to listen to the noise outside. After making sure that no one rushed in, he shook his head and said pessimistically, "We've made a good start and made the eunuchs and maids in the palace think that the Sixth Prince had disappeared long ago. This method can only deceive people for a while. If the rebels can't find anyone, and then interrogate the maids and eunuchs, they will definitely know that it was you who first shouted that the child was missing and then ran away without a trace. They will figure out the twists and turns here, and they will definitely not give up. We are running here now, and the rebels will not think of this for a while, but when the matter is reported, the person in charge will definitely think of searching the palace. If no one in the palace finds any trace of a child in his arms, they will definitely know that there is a secret passage in the palace. They will dig three feet underground to find us."
So, isn't there no way out? Then why escape? The nurse's eyes darkened instantly, looking at the Sixth Prince in her arms, she couldn't help but feel disheartened.
"However." Wei An looked at her calmly and said calmly: "We can at least buy one or two hours."
What then? The nurse felt hopeless: "What can we do in one or two hours? They will come looking for us, and we will just live one or two more hours."
Wei An patted her on the back with a smile on his face: "It's okay. When the rebels find us, I'm afraid the Third Young Master will find us too."
No matter who the two parties are, Young Master Lin or Marquis Ping'an, as long as they are found first, they will be safe.
The purpose of gaining this time is to avoid being caught by the rebels from unknown forces who break in first, because after all, there are always people who try to take advantage of troubled waters, so it is never wrong to be cautious.
She didn't trust Prince Linjiang's people and was afraid that Prince Linjiang would take the opportunity to do something to her, his troublesome daughter-in-law.
The wet nurse had a bewildered look on her face, while Master Xu San, who had broken into the Lanyue Palace and had finally seized the opportunity and been entrusted by the waiter of the Qin family, had a sinister look in his eyes that was frightening.
The main reason he came here was for Wei'an.
Their family has always wanted to kill this woman who has been affecting their family and almost destroyed them. Now that the opportunity has finally come, they must kill this woman.
No one would doubt the cause of death of a woman who died in the chaos of war. No matter what, if they killed this scourge, even if Shen Chen came back, he would not be able to find him on them.
Even if Shen Chen really refused to give up, there was no need to be afraid. She was just a woman, and she was already dead. Would the King of Linjiang still be willing to have any disputes with the Xu and Qin families who had made great contributions because of her? !
But he finally brought his confidants here, but they were nowhere to be found! The soldiers under him had searched the entire Lanyue Palace, and except for a few eunuchs and palace maids who were afraid of death and kept hiding in the back and dared not come out, they could not find anyone. He had already interrogated the eunuchs and palace maids who had escaped and were caught, and they all insisted that they had not seen Wei An and the Sixth Prince again, saying that they were missing. The wet nurse who served the Sixth Prince had come out to question them about this matter before, saying that the Sixth Prince and Wei An had disappeared for no reason.
How is this possible?! How can a good person just disappear out of thin air?! Besides, a senior palace maid said that before the accident, Wei An coaxed the Sixth Prince to sleep and then sent away the servants. (To be continued)
