She has committed a serious offense this time, and it's likely that she will never be able to set foot on this land again.
So while she's still here, she's going to vent her anger.
“But the Emperor of Daze Kingdom has ordered us to leave the city before dusk today. The city gates will be recorded, and all the passes we pass through will be registered to ensure that we return to Dongfu Kingdom within the allotted time,” He Feng said with difficulty.
Lingyu glanced at the group of maids following behind Princess Hefeng: "That's easy to handle, but we'll have to be more discreet in the future."
She selected two maids who resembled her and Princess Hefeng, had them wear specially made human skin masks, disguise themselves, and leave the capital.
Seeing that the city gates were open, Lingyu's lips curled up into a smile.
"Sister, we can go all out now."
In the Qiao family's back garden, atop the waterside pavilions and terraces.
In front of Qiao Lian'er were stacks of documents, all of which were related information about Queyuan Prefecture and Jinglang Prefecture.
Reading these things can be tedious and boring, but after a thorough and careful understanding, relevant policies and measures can be formulated and implemented, and then we can just wait for the results.
It is now the Mid-Autumn Festival. In the north, the leaves have turned yellow and the branches are covered with a golden hue, which is thickly spread on the ground. When the wind blows, the leaves dance and fall into the lake and on the eaves of the pavilions.
For Qiao Lian'er, this was a pleasant white noise that allowed her to better focus and immerse herself in the music.
When she realized her back was aching and stretched, she discovered that someone was sitting opposite her.
Pei Ershou also picked up a book, his expression very quiet.
Perhaps she trusted him too much, or perhaps she often kept him in her space and got used to his presence, so when he came to her side, it was like a flower blooming or a leaf falling, without arousing her any alarm.
"I've brought you some news." Pei Er put down the book, which was a compilation of local chronicles of Jinglang Prefecture.
“When Lingyu and Hefeng left the city gate, I paid special attention. They didn’t actually leave; they just had their maids impersonate them.”
"I think Lingyu is resentful and wants to take revenge on you, so she doesn't want to leave."
"What about Princess Hefeng? She thinks the same way." Qiao Lian'er became a little interested.
"They are sisters born of the same mother, so it's not necessarily true that she would help her own sister."
Qiao Lian'er tapped her fingers slowly on the table: "Logically speaking, after learning such a big lesson, Princess Hefeng should have persuaded her sister to return to the country. Instead, she secretly stayed here with her. Doesn't she know the consequences of delaying her return? Not only will it be difficult to explain to Dongfu Kingdom, but Daze Kingdom will also not let them off the hook."
"I don't know much yet, I'll keep people watching them."
“I believe their staying in the capital is mostly related to you.” Pei Shijiu’s expression turned cold.
He would never allow even the slightest danger to be near her.
Qiao Lian'er believed that no amount of surveillance could compare to her going there in person.
She was getting tired of looking at all these documents and files, so she put them all into her personal space.
Based on the address provided by Pei Shijiu, she found the two women's lodging. The Lingyu sisters had rented a small courtyard in a secluded alley in the suburbs to hide their identities.
