Qi Yuning traveled all night and did not dare to stop. The soldiers from the Qin family in Gyeonggi Province had come to chase him, and he dared not rest after finally getting 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.
It was not until dawn that they dared 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 chase 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 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 a short rest, Qi Yuning picked herself up and rode her horse to continue on her journey.
Everyone's eyes were red from staying up all day and night without sleep.
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 rode on the same horse, and they had never trusted each other so much before.
After galloping all the way for three days without rest, I arrived at Shancheng and felt like my bones were about to fall apart.
Mr. Lu Sanye suggested that they take a 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 station people 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 exhausted 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 gave it to Qi Yuning.
Qi Yuning took the small bamboo tube off the pigeon's leg and took out the letter inside. Shuangjiang was good at calculating, so he probably estimated that they would have to rest when they reached Shancheng.
When Lu Baozhu heard the letter coming from Shengjing City, she came closer and looked at it and asked, "My brother has been imprisoned? Or is he imprisoned with Guan Zhiyi?
What is the difference between a man and a woman living in the same cell and a man and a woman living alone in the same cell? How can this be allowed?
Upon hearing this, Qi Yuning no longer cared about the jealousy of the young couple'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 dares to kill the king. She has to rush to North City as soon as possible and cannot let the Qin family get what Zhao Chong wants. Otherwise, the Qin family will hold power and who knows how many evil things they will do.
Lu Baohua covered Lu Baozhu's mouth and said, "Say 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 as she thought that today should be the wedding day of the Crown Prince and Song Heqing in Shengjing City, right?
Song Heqing married into the Eastern Palace as she wished, which was what she wanted...
Inside the East Palace.
Zhao Chong heard that Qin Zhen couldn't catch up with Qi Yuning, and couldn't help but cursed: "Useless, there is no Lingling in Prince Qi's mansion, how far can she run with a child? Can't she catch up?"
Qin Zhen said, "They probably didn't take the child with them. I asked the servants of the Qi family and heard that Lingling hasn't appeared for a long time. Even Princess Pingrou's husband has been gone for more than half a month."
Zhao Chong frowned and said, "It seems that they have made plans long ago."
"Your Highness, it's time for the wedding ceremony!"
Zhao Chong put on his wedding clothes in a bad mood and went to the wedding ceremony.
…
In the sky prison.
The jailer threw a wedding cake and a bun to Lu Ze and said, "Hey, today is the day when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very happy, so I will give you two more wedding cakes."
Guan Zhiyi took the wedding cake and handed it to Lu Ze, saying, "Why don't you eat it, Master Lu? You haven't eaten or slept for almost three days. Even a body of iron can't stand it."
Lu Ze glanced at Guan Zhiyi and continued to ignore her.
Guan Zhiyi said: "I know you don't like me and hate me, but as I said on the first day, we almost became husband and wife before, why do you have to be so distant?"
Guan Zhiyi looked at Lu Ze and said, "You are here, but Qi Yuning hasn't come to save you!"
"Cousin Ze!"
Qin Yuli's injuries have not yet fully healed. Today, when she went to the East Palace to attend a wedding banquet, she learned that Lu Ze was in prison and rushed to the prison.
Qin Yuli urged the jailer to open the door, "Open the door 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, the Crown Prince ordered Guan Zhiyi to be locked up with Master Lu..."
Qin Yuli clenched her hands and said, "Is the Crown Prince's cousin crazy? I'll go find the Crown Prince's cousin! Quickly move Guan Zhiyi to another cell!"
To be honest, Qin Yuli glared at Guan Zhiyi fiercely.
After Guan Zhiyi was moved away by the jailer, Lu Ze took a deep breath and dared 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, put a condemned prisoner in and said, "Hurry up and change clothes with this condemned prisoner and leave. Hurry up."
Lu Ze said, "If you let me go, I'm afraid the prince will cause trouble for you."
Qin Feng said: "You and I grew up wearing the same trousers, how can the prince not cause trouble for me?
Let's go quickly. General Ren told me that the princess left 300 elite soldiers in Xianglin Temple to become monks.
You will go to Xianglin Temple to shave your head and burn your scars, and then leave Shengjing City with the three hundred elite soldiers disguised as monks, under the pretext that the monks of Xianglin Temple are going to Persia to attend a Buddhist meeting."
Lu Ze said: "Persian Buddhist Association? Persia does not believe in Buddhism."
"It's too late to worry about that now." Qin Feng said, "The jailer has been temporarily led away by the Ministry of Justice. You come out first!"
When the jailer came over, Qin Feng escorted Lu Ze, who was wearing the clothes of a death row prisoner, and said, "Hurry up, what are you dithering about? You are so scared now, why did you kill someone earlier?"
The jailer saluted to Qin Feng and said, "I didn't expect that Minister Qin would come here to take away the death row prisoner himself. This murderer must be properly dealt with. Minister Qin, take care."
After Qin Feng left, the jailer looked into the cell and saw "Lu Ze" still hiding in the corner. He spat and said, "What a bastard! You dare to say that to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? You deserve to suffer."
As the jailer spoke, he began to eat peanuts with old wine. The prince was very happy today, and all the jailers would be rewarded.
Just when he was feeling extremely proud, he saw a fire in the cell where Lu Ze was imprisoned.
The jailer kept shouting: "Fire, fire!"
…
Lu Ze walked out of the prison and was taken to a small alley by Qin Feng.
Qin Feng looked around, took out a set of clothes and said, "Hurry up and change your clothes and follow me to Xianglin Temple."
When Lu Ze saw that Qin Feng took out women's clothing, he frowned and asked, "Women's clothing?"
"Do you still dislike women's clothing now?"
Lu Ze frowned and asked, "Weared by a woman?"
Qin Feng said, "It's Princess Qi's clothes. Lu Ze, you wouldn't be disgusted by the fact that someone else's clothes are dirty at this time, right? You wouldn't be disgusted by Princess Qi's clothes, right?"
Lu Ze remembered that Qi Yuning had begged him to change into women's clothes before, and it must be Qi Yuning who did it on purpose, but in an emergency, he had to change into women's clothes.
After Lu Ze changed into women's clothes, he said to Qin Feng, "I'm afraid that the death row prisoner who pretended to be me won't be able to hide it for long. You..."
Qin Feng said: "The prisoner on death row is covered with oil, and there is oil on his clothes. Once he lights the fire, he will be burned to death. If his face is burned, people will think that you were burned to death in prison."
Lu Ze asked, "Will the prisoner on death row agree to this?"
Qin Feng said: "I promised to treat his family well, gave them a large sum of money, and sent them away from Shengjing City a long time ago."
The two of them went all the way to Xianglin Temple.
When the abbot of Xianglin Temple saw that it was Qin Feng, he even let them both in, closed the temple door tightly, and said, "Amitabha, Master Lu, please shave your head and burn your scars as soon as possible."
Lu Ze clasped his hands together and said, "Thank you, Abbot."
The abbot of Xianglin Temple sighed and said, "The thing I regret most in my life is accepting Lu Yun into the temple."
God knows how panicked he was when he saw these 300 Qi family soldiers disguised as monks and staying in the temple.
Because he was the abbot of the temple and a highly accomplished monk in the eyes of outsiders, he had to pretend to be calm. Now he only hoped that the three hundred Qi family soldiers would leave as soon as possible.
When Lu Ze saw rows of tall, bald monks in robes standing in the temple, he knew they were not ordinary monks.
The leading soldier walked up to Lu Ze and said, "Master Lu, we are ordered by the princess to take you to the North City. Please shave your hair, perm your scars, change your clothes and leave."
Lu Ze stepped into the main hall and saw the majestic Buddha statue in front of him. He knelt down and let the abbot shave his hair.
The abbot of Xianglin Temple was shaving Lu Ze's hair and sighed, "When Princess Qi got married for the first time, I shaved her fiancé's hair three days before her wedding. I didn't expect that more than half a year later, Princess Qi got married for the second time, and I shaved her fiancé's hair three days before her wedding again..."
Lu Ze said: "...Thank you, Master."
Lu Ze certainly didn't expect that he would become a monk three days before marrying Qi Yuning, just like that little bald donkey Lu Yun...
Lu Yun: I am Lu the Little Bald Donkey, and you are Lu the Big Bald Donkey!
