Chapter 749 Gathering - Help

The Empress's words were quite interesting. She said that the royal son's principal wife could not abdicate, which was actually telling the fake Sun Ruoyun that even though she was a princess sent for a political marriage, she could only be a concubine for her son.

"Your Majesty is right. It seems that Ruoyun will have no choice but to find a temple and spend her days with the ancient Buddha and the dim lamp."

Sun Ruoyun's move of feigning retreat immediately stunned the Empress.

In her mind, Sun Ruoyun should settle for the second-best position and ask for the position of a concubine. So she reluctantly and reluctantly agreed.

But how did the plot change? Could it be that I misunderstood, and the other party never intended to enter his son's backyard at all?

While the Empress was still in shock, the fake Sun Ruoyun slowly stood up.

"Your Majesty, it's getting late, Ruoyun should take her leave now."

Without waiting for the Empress's reply, Sun Ruojun walked out of the Empress's bedchamber on her own.

At the same time, the emperor looked at the old eunuch who had been taking care of him and said reluctantly, "You should come with me. I can't live without you all these years."

The old eunuch smiled slightly, "Your Majesty need not mind this old servant. It is my blessing to have been able to accompany Your Majesty for so many years. Now it is time for this old servant to do something for Your Majesty."

After speaking, the old eunuch looked at Bai Moqin with a kind expression, "Your Highness, I entrust His Majesty to you."

Bai Moqin knew that the old eunuch was the emperor's most trusted person, so she gave him a grateful look, nodded, and pulled the emperor to leave.

"Mo Qin, this way."

The emperor tugged at Bai Moqin's hand and then pointed inside.

Inside the bedroom, the emperor fumbled around on the bed board for a moment, and then heard a crisp sound as the entire dragon bed began to roll over.

Then Bai Moqin saw a secret passage appear before her eyes. It turned out that there was a secret passage in the emperor's palace.

This was the first time Bai Moqin had learned of this secret, but he didn't have time to think about it now. He could only quickly follow the emperor into the secret passage.

The secret passage led to a rockery in the back garden, and Bai Moqin and the emperor bumped into it as soon as they came out.

Bai Moqin quickly gestured for the emperor to lower his head, but the man still recognized him.

"Your Highness, it is I."

A familiar voice rang out, and Bai Moqin immediately spotted the fake Sun Ruoyun.

Why are you still here?

Bai Moqin hurriedly went over and whispered.

"I'm just worried that if I arrive too early, we won't be able to get out until you all come."

The fake Sun Ruoyun smiled at Bai Moqin, then bowed slightly to the emperor.

"Alright, let's hurry up and go, or we'll have to get the key soon."

As Bai Moqin spoke, she quickly pretended to be an imperial attendant and followed behind the fake Sun Ruoyun.

As for why the fake Sun Ruoyun appeared to help Bai Moqin, it all started a few days ago when Bai Moqin figured out Gu Shuyan's intentions.

Inside the bookstore, Bai Moqin casually browsed through the books, deciding it was almost time to leave.

Unexpectedly, right at the back of the bookstore, he bumped into the fake Sun Ruoyun, who was also in the bookstore.

Bai Moqin knew the true nature of the fake Sun Ruoyun very well. For the past year, they had always treated each other with respect and never overstepped any boundaries. Now that she was in trouble, Bai Moqin thought that even if Sun Ruoyun didn't take advantage of her, she would at least pretend not to know her.

However, the fake Sun Ruoyun did not. Not only that, she also told Bai Moqin that she could come to her if she had any difficulties, and she would definitely try to help.

Bai Moqin naturally couldn't believe the fake Sun Ruoyun, and the fake Sun Ruoyun knew this too. So the fake Sun Ruoyun revealed that she knew he had met Mingyu at the noodle shop.

Bai Moqin was naturally shocked by such a private message, but fortunately, the other party told him what he had learned and swore a solemn oath, which made Bai Moqin reluctantly believe it.

In the following days, the fake Sun Ruoyun helped him a lot, which gave Bai Moqin the courage to ask him to help her and her son leave the palace.

Soon the three arrived at the location where the carriage was parked. Seeing that it was almost 9 PM, the fake Sun Ruoyun hurriedly told the Crown Prince and the Emperor to hide in the carriage next to them, and then she also squeezed in.

The wheels rolled on, and they finally arrived at the palace gate before the keys were laid.

The general guarding the gate had watched Sun Ruoyun enter the palace, so when he saw her leaving, he simply let her lift the carriage curtain for a quick look before letting the carriage leave.

One step, two steps, three steps, everyone was counting silently. Just as the carriage was halfway out of the palace gate, a voice rang out.

"Isn't this the Crown Prince's carriage? Why is it leaving the palace at this time?"

The speaker was none other than the eldest prince.

Upon hearing the Crown Prince's voice, the group of people simultaneously swallowed nervously.

The fake Sun Ruoyun forced herself to calm down before lifting the carriage curtain and smiling, "Your Highness, it is Ruoyun who just returned from seeing the Empress."

The eldest prince clearly did not expect to encounter Sun Ruoyun at this time.

Seeing her radiant smile, the eldest prince's heart fluttered, and he became somewhat out of sorts.

"So it's the princess. May I ask what brings the princess to see the Queen Mother?"

The eldest prince had been coveting the beauty of this princess who was to be married off for a long time, and now that they had met here, he couldn't help but take a few more glances at her.

"It's nothing, we were just talking about Ruoyun needing to go to a temple to cultivate herself."

The fake Sun Ruoyun didn't know what to say for a moment. Should she say that she deliberately picked a fight to stall for time?

She knew very well that she could not say that. Thinking of the Crown Prince's feelings for her, she simply made it clear that she would not enter his harem even if she was in seclusion.

The eldest prince was having a pleasant time talking with the beauty, but the moment he heard the words "temple retreat," his smile vanished.

"What does this mean? Who sent the princess to the temple for spiritual practice?"

The eldest prince's face darkened, and the fake grandson Ruoyun, seeing this, revealed a perfectly timed expression of sorrow.

"Her Majesty said that His Highness already has a principal wife, and Ruoyun is a withered flower. Rather than spending the rest of her life without a name or status, it would be better for her to go to a temple and become a nun for peace and quiet."

"Who said you're a withered flower, a fallen woman, nameless and without status?"

As expected, Sun Ruoyun's words touched the Crown Prince's sore spot. Seeing the beauty with tears in her eyes, the Crown Prince's blood boiled, and he immediately comforted her, "Don't cry. As long as I'm here, I will never let you into any temple."

As he spoke, the eldest prince strode into the palace. Once he was gone, the emperor and Bai Moqin both breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as the carriage was about to continue forward, the crown prince turned back once again.

"Princess, wait a minute."

The fake Sun Ruoyun felt like her heart was about to jump out of her chest.

Suppressing his fear, he forced a smile and asked, "Does Your Highness have any further instructions?"

Seeing the fake Sun Ruoyun with tear stains still smiling at him to reassure him, the eldest prince felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

"nothing!"

As the eldest prince spoke, he actually reached out and personally wiped away the tears from the fake Sun Ruoyun. If it weren't for her reason telling her not to move, the fake Sun Ruoyun would probably have stepped aside.
