He felt vaguely uneasy, but what if he thought she wasn't well-behaved? Now that she was completely under his nose, what kind of trouble could she cause?

He stood up and said, "Then I'll go first. I'll come back in a few days and bring you a rabbit."

Xie Xiuzhu likes cats and dogs, and he thought she might like them too.

"Um."

He curved his lips into a smile, then left with the lunch box.

Wanruo looked at his departing back with a heavy look in her eyes.

The next morning, there was a commotion on the street. The emperor and his officials went out for autumn hunting. The procession was huge, stretching for several streets without stopping, and was heading out of the capital.

Wanruo stood in front of the window, looking at the lively scene outside with an expressionless face.

Su Yue asked: "Miss, since you are going to follow Master Li, why don't you take me with you? I feel uneasy if I don't follow you..."

Wan Ruo said calmly, "Someone needs to take care of this shop, and A Jin also needs someone to take care of her. I left in a hurry because I was pressed for time. You guys can just follow slowly."

Su Yue felt inexplicably nervous: "Girl..."

"Don't worry, I have my own arrangements."

Only after the huge procession left the capital did the streets gradually quiet down and become much more deserted.

Now all the important people in the capital have followed the emperor to the hunting grounds in Taihang Mountains for the autumn hunt.

When Wanruo went downstairs, she saw Fu Xian already waiting downstairs. Now he didn't need to watch her secretly and could stand in the store openly.

"Cousin." He saluted with his fists clasped.

Wanruo nodded: "Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard, not hard!" Fu Xian looked at her cautiously, afraid that she would lose her temper.

But she didn't, and he felt even more scared.

The next day, before daybreak and before the shop opened, there was a sudden and subtle movement.

Fu Xian was dozing off on the roof and was immediately awakened. He rolled over to the edge of the eaves and looked down.

Then I saw a blue-gray carriage hurriedly driving away.

This is my cousin’s car!

Fu Xian's face changed and he immediately climbed through the window to the third floor, only to see that Wanruo's room was empty.

"No, my cousin ran away, chase her!"

A group of secret guards immediately flew down and chased after the carriage.

After the secret guards left quickly, Wanruo walked out from the back door, and another carriage was already waiting there.

Li Jingzhao opened the car window curtain and said, "Miss Bai, hurry up and get in the car! They'll probably notice something's wrong soon and come after us!"

Wanruo nodded, lifted her skirt and got into the carriage immediately.

The driver whipped his whip and sped away, quickly disappearing into the dark night.

Li Jingzhao sat in the car and breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank goodness you were prepared, otherwise we really wouldn't be able to escape with these people watching us. Don't worry, we'll be safe once we get out of the city. Once we get out of the city, they won't know where we're going."

Wanruo suddenly asked, "Will we leave?"

"Of course I have a passport."

Wan Ruo smiled and said, "Master Li, you have helped me like this. I really don't know how to thank you."

"What are you talking about thanking me or not? I felt sorry for you and just wanted to help you. It's not worth thanking you."

"But I still have to thank you," Wanruo said sincerely, "I have something I want to give you."

As Wanruo spoke, she reached into her sleeve.

Li Jingzhao chuckled: "What is it? If it's too valuable, then forget it..."

Before he could finish his words, a dagger was suddenly pressed against his neck.
