With her wedding day approaching, her fiancé, Lu Yun, preferred to shave his head and become a monk rather than marry Qi Yuning. Princess Qi instantly became the laughingstock of Shengjing.
...
Qi Yuning traveled all night and did not dare to stop. The soldiers from the Qin family in Gyeonggi Province came to chase him, and he did not dare to rest even after he finally got rid of them.
All the way to the North City is the territory of Dasheng. The officers and soldiers guarding the cities must obey the orders of the court. They cannot stop for a moment. They can only wait until the officers and soldiers of the cities along the way are still unaware of the court's orders and then rush to the North City first.
Only at dawn did they dare to stop to eat and rest for a while.
Lu Baohua walked up to Qi Yuning and said, "Princess, you look very bad. Why don't you find a place to rest for a day?"
Qi Yuning shook his head and said, "The imperial court has sent troops to pursue us. We have no choice but to reach the North City in one go. We cannot stop for even a moment on the way."
Lu Baozhu looked towards Shengjing City and said, "I don't know what happened to my brother. The court has sent people to hunt us down. What about my brother? Will he be..."
Qi Yuning was also very worried about Lu Ze. She could only choke back her tears and say, "Lu Ze will be fine, he will be fine."
Now, they did not dare to stop and wait for news from the court. After resting for a while, they picked themselves up and rode their horses to continue their journey.
Everyone's eyes were red from staying up all night and not sleeping.
Qi Yuning let the two of them ride on the same horse, and one of them could close his eyes and rest for a while. There were horse farms along the way from the Qi family to the north city, so they could change horses, but people would get tired.
Qi Yuning and Lu Baozhu have never trusted each other so much.
He galloped all the way for three days without rest. When he arrived at Shancheng, he felt like his bones were about to fall apart.
Mr. Lu Sanye suggested that they should rest for a day. They were now in Shancheng, which used to be the territory of the King of Shu. The King of Shu had just been dealt with, and the Qin family had not been able to set up a presence here so quickly.
Seeing that everyone was exhausted, Qi Yuning had no choice but to agree to rest here for four hours, have a good sleep, and leave when he woke up.
But no matter how tired she was, Qi Yuning just couldn't fall asleep. When she closed her eyes, all she saw was Lu Ze.
"Princess, the carrier pigeon of frost!"
Lichun took the carrier pigeon and handed it to Qi Yuning. Shuangjiang was always good at calculating, so he probably estimated that they would have to rest when they reached Shancheng.
Did Lu Baozhu hear the letter from Shengjing City? She leaned forward to look at it and said, "My brother is imprisoned? And he's imprisoned with Guan Zhiyi? A man and a woman living in the same cell, wouldn't there be no privacy?"
Upon hearing this, Qi Yuning no longer cared about the jealousy of the children's private affairs. What mattered now was the affairs of the court. The Qin family was unkind, unjust and unfilial and tried to disrupt the royal bloodline.
Zhao Chong is not a wise ruler. He is selfish, stubborn, cruel and ruthless and dares to kill the king. She has to rush to Beicheng as soon as possible and cannot let the Qin family and Zhao Chong get what they want. Otherwise, they will hold great power and there will be chaos in the court and the country.
Lu Baohua covered Lu Baozhu's mouth and said, "Speak less."
Lu Baozhu looked at Lu Baohua and said, "I am your sister!"
Lu Baohua sighed helplessly and pulled Lu Baozhu to rest.
Qi Yuning said to Lichun, "You should take a rest too."
Qi Yuning's eyes were already heavy, thinking that in Shengjing City, today should be the wedding day of the prince and Song Heqing, right?
Song Heqing married into the Eastern Palace as she wished, which was a dream come true for her!
Inside the East Palace.
Zhao Chong heard that Qin Zhen couldn't catch up with Qi Yuning, and he couldn't help but curse, "Ugh, there's no Lingling in Prince Qi's mansion, how far can she run with a child? Can't she even catch up?"
Qin Zhen said, "They probably didn't take the child with them. I asked the servants of the Qi family, and they heard that Lingling hasn't appeared in a long time. Even Princess Pingrou's husband has been gone for more than half a month."
Zhao Chong frowned and said, "It seems they have made plans long ago."
"Your Highness, it's time for the wedding ceremony!"
Zhao Chong frowned, changed into his wedding dress, and went to pick up the bride.
…
In the sky prison.
The jailer threw a wedding cake and a steamed bun to Lu Ze and said, "Hey, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very happy today, so I'll give you two extra wedding cakes."
Guan Zhiyi took the wedding cake and handed it to Lu Ze, saying, "Why wouldn't you eat it, Master Lu? You haven't eaten or slept for almost three days. Even a strong body wouldn't be able to bear it."
Lu Ze glanced at Guan Zhiyi and continued to ignore her.
Guan Zhiyi said, "I know you don't like me and you hate me, but as I said on the first day, we almost became husband and wife. Why are you being so distant?"
Guan Zhiyi looked at Lu Ze and said, "You're here, and Qi Yuning hasn't come to save you!"
"Cousin Ze!"
Qin Yuli's injuries hadn't fully healed yet. She had just learned of Lu Ze's imprisonment when she went to the East Palace for a wedding banquet. She urged the jailer to open the door, "Open it quickly."
After the jailer opened the door, Qin Yuli walked up to Guan Zhiyi and kicked her hard in the face, "Get out! Get out!"
The jailer said in embarrassment: "Miss Qin, this Guan Zhiyi was ordered by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be imprisoned together with Prince Lu..."
Qin Yuli clenched her hands and said, "Is the Crown Prince's cousin crazy? I'll go find him! Quickly move Guan Zhiyi to another cell!"
To be honest, Qin Yuli glared at Guan Zhiyi fiercely.
After Guan Zhiyi was taken away by the jailer, Lu Ze took a deep breath. Seeing Qin Yuli's attire, he thought that today must be the prince's wedding day.
Only after Guan Zhiyi left did Lu Ze dare to move.
"Lu Ze!"
Lu Ze looked over and saw Qin Feng coming with a prisoner with messy hair.
Qin Feng quickly opened the prison door and let a condemned prisoner in. He said, "Hurry up and change clothes with this condemned prisoner and leave. Hurry."
Lu Ze said, "If you let me go, I'm afraid the Crown Prince will cause trouble for you."
