Three days passed quickly. On the first day, Mingyue was still worried about how to sneak out of the cold palace without telling the guards at the door. Unexpectedly, the guards at the door withdrew on the second day. Although she didn't know why, she just felt that she was unlucky and now even God was helping her.
But unfortunately, this was just her arrogant idea. Ji Chenan deliberately wanted to lure her into a trap, so he withdrew the guards at the door.
She sneaked back to the Millennium Palace the next day.
She was originally very cautious, fearing that the Millennium Palace was guarded by someone. Unexpectedly, after sneaking around the Millennium Palace for a long time, she didn't see any guards, let alone servants.
Fortunately, everything in the Millennium Palace is still there intact.
Mingyue secretly ran to the servants' room of the Millennium Palace and found a palace maid's dress. She also took some valuable small things and secretly packed them up, then sneaked back to the cold palace with the things.
Anyway, she was not familiar with those servants and had no feelings for them. She was too lazy to care where they went. Anyway, she was going to sneak away alone in the middle of the night tomorrow. If she brought someone with her, the risk of her being discovered would be greatly increased.
Finally, after her anxious wait, the third day arrived.
In the past few days, except for someone coming to bring her a few meals, the guards never came back. She guessed that Ji Chenan was not afraid that she would cause any trouble, so he neglected to restrict her.
At night, she changed into the clothes of a palace maid and put some jewelry and banknotes in her arms.
She cautiously stuck her head out and looked around, making sure there were no patrolling guards at the door before she cautiously stepped out of the cold palace.
Along the way, she used the shadows of the bushes to carefully observe the surrounding situation. Finally, before midnight, she successfully arrived near the side door.
However, she found while hiding in the bushes that there were two guards standing guard at the side door.
However, the two people standing guard looked drowsy at the moment.
Just as she was worrying, she saw the two guards fall down limply.
She was confused about the situation for a moment and did not dare to act rashly.
Until a vague figure appeared not far from the side door.
It vaguely looked like Xiao Jingyun.
When the figure came closer, Mingyue finally confirmed that it was Xiao Jingyun!
She stood up excitedly and ran out.
Mingyue could no longer bear the grievance she felt at this moment, and she threw herself straight into that arms.
She sobbed softly in Xiao Jingyun's arms.
Xiao Jingyun looked at the figure running towards him. Although she was wearing the clothes of a palace maid, he could vaguely recognize that it was Mingyue.
Looking at Mingyue in his arms, Xiao Jingyun patted her back with mixed feelings and said softly, "It's not advisable to stay here for long. Let's go somewhere else."
"Okay." Mingyue said with a sniff.
Just as they were about to leave, a small arrow shot out from the darkness. It didn't have much force, so there was no whistling sound, but it hit Mingyue's lower abdomen solidly.
Mingyue looked down and saw that the arrow was stuck in her lower abdomen. It took her a long time before she realized the pain of the arrow piercing her flesh. She covered her lower abdomen with her hands and fainted from the pain.
The secret guard standing on the city wall then put away his crossbow and hid in the night.
Because the boss said that he was only responsible for shooting arrows, and someone else was responsible for tracking.
Xiao Jingyun looked around in the direction the arrow came from, but didn't find anyone.
However, he did not dare to delay any longer and quickly dragged Mingyue to the side. However, when he looked down at the unconscious Mingyue, he felt troubled.
Mingyue was injured at this time, so it must have been someone sent by Emperor Yao. This means that Emperor Yao knew about her escape plan, and the matter has been exposed! We can't stay here for long!
But Xiao Jingyun thought that if Mingyue returned to the country at that time, Emperor Yao would most likely use this as an excuse to start a war!
Moreover, he looked down at Mingyue's belly and saw that she was probably unable to have children...
An imperceptible look of disgust appeared on Xiao Jingyun's face.
In order to avoid accidents, he had specially brought a few capable people with him.
Among them are those who know medical skills.
If Mingyue could still survive, he would take the risk and take her back.
If you can't...
He sent a signal to the distance, and soon five people came.
The man who knew medicine stepped forward to check Mingyue's injuries and shook his head solemnly.
Xiao Jingyun's expression was equally solemn.
"Let's treat her wound first. We can't let her die here. After that, we'll retreat quickly." Xiao Jingyun said helplessly.
He was in a dilemma for a moment. If Mingyue couldn't give birth, then she wouldn't be able to give birth to descendants of the Xiao family for him, and bringing them back would only cause more trouble.
At this time, one of his advisers saw his dilemma.
He took a step forward and bowed, saying, "You can also take the princess back first. As for the follow-up, you can fake a pregnancy and then pick a child from the Xiao family to pretend it's yours. Then you can make that child the crown prince..."
Xiao Jingyun didn't say anything, and seemed to be considering the rationality of the adviser's suggestion.
Ye Yu, who was hiding in the bushes in the distance, heard his words clearly.
A hint of murderous intent instantly appeared in his eyes.
These traitors are indeed not simple people. They even set their sights on their master, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Just based on what the counselor just said, he deserves to be executed along with his entire clan.
He took a look and saw that Xiao Jingyun had brought five people with him this time for the convenience of movement, and some of them had no martial arts skills at all. If he continued to let Xiao Jingyun go back, there might be other people to support him, which would be difficult to deal with.
