When Ye Feng was about to come in, Li Ruotong was leaning against the tea table in a daze, staring blankly out the window. I don't know what Xiao Shushen has done to Zhao Yuanrong now. I just hope that they can be fine, and when Shen Qingwan and Fu Yuheng come back, they will all be free.
The most important thing is that they all hold on until Fu Yuheng comes back to solve this dilemma. However, she has heard the rumors in the court these days.
Although she heard it, she still comforted herself that the two were destined to be together, so how could they easily get into trouble? But if nothing happened to them, why didn't they write to the palace for so long
The maids in her palace had been running to the imperial study room these days, but she had never heard of any letters from Jiangnan during this period of time. She felt a little nervous, but refused to believe it.
But at this moment, she was in a difficult situation, but she couldn't help but worry about those two people. Suddenly, there were two knocks on the window. Li Ruotong was a little unsure who was outside the window. At this time, who would come to her bedroom instead of going through the main door and through the window
"It's me, open the window."
When Li Ruotong heard the sound outside the window, her eyes suddenly turned red. She quickly took down the wooden stick that was supporting the window. Ye Feng turned over and jumped in. After making sure that she was the only one in the room, he took a few steps to the door and bolted the door of the bedroom before he felt relieved.
Li Ruotong was touched and surprised. She looked him up and down, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that he was not injured when he came to see her. "Are you crazy? The Queen has confined me to my room. There are so many imperial guards outside. If you come in alone and get discovered, what will you do? I can't save you now. Can you think about yourself?"
She was already worried about the two people outside the palace, and now there was such a living ancestor that made her even more anxious. Li Ruotong couldn't help but speak in a fierce tone. Ye Feng lowered his head slightly and spoke in a lower voice, "I understand the reason, but I just want to see you."
She had seen so many fickle people in the palace these days, and when she heard these words, she felt warm in her heart. "No matter how much I am confined, I am still a concubine. How dare they treat me harshly? But although you are a royal guard, the emperor is not in the palace now, and chaos may occur in the palace at any time. At this time, you should take care of yourself and be extremely careful."
Suddenly, footsteps were heard outside. Ye Feng vigilantly hid behind the curtain, and Li Ruotong was so scared that she gasped.
"My lady, I have placed the food on the table in the outer room for you. Please remember to eat a few bites when you have time."
"What are you talking to her about? The emperor may not even come back. If the prince really ascends the throne tomorrow, she will be sent to the cold palace in no time. You'd better just focus on eating." Apparently there was another person nearby, who was not polite at all.
"Hey, I'm just being polite." The footsteps of the two maids were getting farther and farther away, and no one even cared why they didn't hear Li Ruotong's answer. It didn't matter. In their eyes, when the prince ascended the throne tomorrow, Xiao Shushen would definitely eliminate all the members of Concubine Xian's faction. Concubine De had committed suicide, so how long could this person still be able to keep going
It's just a grasshopper that has passed the autumn.
Li Ruotong recognized the two people outside as Cai Die and Cai Yue from her own palace. As for Qiu Shui, she had let her out a few days ago. She was relieved that she didn't get the expected response.
But she didn't notice that the man behind her had a dark face. After confirming that no one was there, he opened the door. After glancing at the food on the table, his face became even gloomier. "Is this what you told me, that you didn't treat me harshly?"
Li Ruotong didn't understand what was going on, so she went up to see, "What's going on?"
Before she saw it, Ye Feng closed the door, took two deep breaths, and tried to calm his anger. Do these slaves really not treat their masters as human beings
Li Ruotong is just in a bad state for a while, so you can mistreat her? I only saw it today when I came here. They even dared to send rotten food to her, and they didn't care. What does she eat on weekdays
"I want to take you away." Ye Feng looked at her steadily.
"You're crazy! How is it possible? Right now is the most taboo time for something to happen in the palace. Even if I'm here, I know that the Queen must be afraid that someone will make trouble at this critical moment. The harem and the palace gates must be heavily guarded. It's okay for you to escape, but how is it possible for you to take me away?" She stamped her feet anxiously.
Seeing this, Ye Feng was still angry. "Why should I run away by myself? I have always been at home everywhere. Now I want to take you away from here. Do you understand? How can I bear to watch you being abused by these dogs and slaves!"
"Actually, there is another way. But the chances are slim. Can you try it for me?" Li Ruotong thought for a while before speaking.
Ye Feng nodded quickly, "As long as I can save you, even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance, I am willing to try for you."
"Well, listen to me. We must not escape next. The most important thing is to wait for the emperor and sister Xianfei to return to the palace. However, I don't have the opportunity to send people out to look for the emperor and sister Xianfei. Right now, you are the most appropriate person."
He was puzzled, "But wouldn't it be faster if I just took you away?"
"Let's not talk about the fact that we are big targets. Even if we escape now, we don't even have anyone in the palace who can help us escape. Sister Xianfei is not here, and I don't know what happened to Sister Defei. The most important thing for us is to find the emperor and seek justice. When Sister Xianfei comes back, the chances of our escape will be greater."
Seeing the little person in front of him seriously calculating their future, Ye Feng's heart softened. He wanted to reach out and rub her, saying that it was his incompetence that made her worry about their future. "Okay, then I'll go back and pack up now, and try to get to Jiangnan within two days. You... take good care of yourself and wait for me."
He clearly wanted to tell this little girl a thousand things, but when he saw her hesitant look, all his words disappeared. It was most important that she could take care of herself. As long as he could find the Emperor and the Concubine Xian, they would definitely not allow the Empress to harm the harem like this.
Sometimes people don't need to say too much to each other, just a glance and they will understand. Li Ruotong was relieved when Ye Feng climbed over the wall and left. But a moment later, when Li Ruotong was about to turn around, the door was kicked open. She was so scared that her legs went limp, and she leaned on the tea table to hold on to it, and only then did she have a foothold.
A group of guards wearing soft armor broke through the door and stood in front of her. Xiao Shushen came in with a maid, raised her hand to smooth her hair, and smiled, "The emperor is gone for a while, and you are lonely? The emperor's life and death are unknown now, and you dare to have an affair with the guards. If you really find out that the emperor has passed away in the future, won't you put a green hat on the emperor? Sister, you have an affair with a man outside, even if you have ten heads, it's not enough to chop off."
