Chapter 568: City Search
The carriage turned around and hurried back to the Princess's Mansion.
Along the way, the eldest princess's face looked very ugly.
She was wearing a jade ring on her hand, and she was stroking it, not knowing what she was thinking.
The carriage returned to the Princess's residence. As soon as it stopped, the Princess got off the carriage and walked quickly towards Liu Yue's residence.
The servants could all sense the anger emanating from the eldest princess, and they all stepped aside to make way for her.
The eldest princess came to Liu Yue's yard and saw the servants serving Liu Yue.
"Where is your son?"
"Princess, the young master is in his bedroom. He closed the door and never came out. I guess he fell asleep. Do you want me to wake him up?" The servant said tremblingly.
The eldest princess ignored him and walked straight to the outside of the bedroom and pushed it.
The door was indeed locked.
"Break the door open." The princess ordered coldly.
The servants rushed to knock on the door, and soon they broke it open.
The room was empty, no one was there.
"How is that possible? I saw you enter the bedroom, but you never came out..."
The eldest princess walked quickly to the window and pushed it open.
The eldest princess's face was extremely ugly. She thought about Liu Yue's behavior during dinner in the evening, and then looked at the current situation, and she came to a conclusion that her pet had escaped.
The hint of sadness on the eldest princess's face was quickly replaced by hostility.
Anything she is not tired of playing with will never be allowed to escape from her hands!
"Come here!" the princess said, "Call all the guards in the palace, search the entire city, and find Liu Yue for me!"
…
At this time, Shen Qingliu and Xu Jiao were sitting in the carriage.
The coachman was driving the carriage towards the city gate.
Xu Jiao's face was full of anxiety as Shen Qingliu hugged her and held her in his arms.
"Don't be afraid." Shen Qingliu whispered.
Xu Jiao looked up at him. "I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid." Xu Jiao repeated this over and over again, more like trying to convince herself, "It's just that I didn't have the chance to say goodbye to her."
Shen Qingliu knew who the 'she' Xu Jiao was talking about.
The two of them snuggled up to each other, and the uneasiness they felt dissipated a lot.
Xu Jiao thought positively. They escaped from the capital and fled to a place where no one knew them. Even if they lived in the mountains, as long as she could be with him, it would be fine.
However, the carriage suddenly stopped near the city gate.
Shen Qingliu lifted the car curtain and looked out, his expression suddenly changed.
At the city gate, the officers were searching people entering the city very strictly.
"It's not so strict when leaving the city on weekdays. Master, what should we do?" the driver asked in a low voice.
Shen Qingliu had a blank expression on his face, his mind racing.
What are these officers searching for?
The eldest princess discovered that he was missing?
Or is it because of something else that the city gates are being searched more strictly?
Does he want to give it a try?
We are only one step away from leaving the city. As long as we go out, the danger will be reduced a lot.
However, if they were really looking for him, then what would happen to him and Jiaojiao...
Shen Qingliu's fingers trembled, and he made a quick decision: "Go back."
Xu Jiao was a little unwilling: "Husband..."
The carriage changed direction according to Shen Qingliu's instructions.
Because of their noise, they attracted the attention of the city gate officer: "That carriage, stop, are you going to leave the city?"
However, the carriage ignored them and turned away.
At the city gate, there were not only officials, but also guards from the Princess's Mansion.
The officers just felt it was strange. The guards looked at the carriage and led their men to chase after it.
"Master, they are catching up with us!" said the driver.
"Let's go." Shen Qingliu said.
In fact, in that glance just now, he seemed to see the guards of the Princess's Mansion. When these people chased him, he became even more certain.
His escape was discovered, and the Princess's Mansion came to chase him!
In the end, they were a step too slow and were discovered.
It seems that God doesn't help them.
Shen Qingliu hugged Xu Jiao tightly, very tightly, as if even God could not separate them.
It seemed as if this was the moment when they hugged each other for the last time.
Xu Jiao seemed to have noticed something. She was actually very scared just now, but at this moment, she suddenly felt not afraid anymore.
"Husband, this is actually quite good. After we die, we can be together forever." Xu Jiao said with a smile.
Life is too hard. She and her husband cannot resist the evil people, so they can only be separated and cannot be together.
It would be better if they died, because then they could be together forever and no one could separate them anymore.
Shen Qingliu stroked her face, and with affection and reluctance, he kissed her forehead.
The carriage moved forward quickly. The driver was very familiar with the capital and drove through the streets and alleys.
However, the guards chasing them were all riding horses, and no matter how fast the carriage was, it could not be faster than the horses.
Soon, the carriage was surrounded by four or five horses.
The guards got off the carriage.
The driver tried to stop the car, but was dragged down by a guard and kicked aside.
Another guard lifted the curtain of the carriage and was stunned when he saw the scene inside.
"No one."
It was actually empty inside.
"Search the car thoroughly, search the bottom and the roof. Don't miss any place where people can hide!"
Soon, the guards searched the entire carriage, but still found no one.
Their faces looked very ugly as they stared at the driver.
"What were you running for?!"
"My lords came to chase me, and I got scared and ran away," said the driver.
The guards were so angry that they beat the guard again and turned away.
Waste of their time!
…
In a closed room.
Shen Qingliu hugged Xu Jiao, both of them had expressions of shock on their faces.
The two waited in the room for about half an hour, and then a woman in a cloak walked in.
She was a beautiful woman with a gentle appearance. She wore a loose dress and had a bulging belly, but her eyes were firm, so she gave people a calm and powerful temperament.
This woman was Tang Li.
Xu Jiao's eyes lit up: "So it was Madam who saved us! Thank you, Madam!"
Xu Jiao knelt down in front of her.
Shen Qingliu quickly realized who she was.
Shen Qingliu also knelt down: "Thank you, Madam Wu, for saving my life."
Just now in the carriage, he took out the poison he had prepared long ago, intending to take it with Jiaojiao...
He would not let Jiaojiao fall into the hands of the vicious princess, otherwise she would be living a life worse than death.
Just when they were about to eat together, there was suddenly another person in the carriage who took them away.
If it weren't for that person, he and Jiaojiao would have already...
Who wants to die when you can live together?
Death is simply because there is no way out.
Tangli looked at them and said, "Everyone, get up."
Shen Qingliu helped Xu Jiao stand up.
Tang Li looked at him. She had seen Young Master Liu Yue twice.
The two times I saw him, he was cold and indifferent, as if he had no attachment to anything. But now, his face was filled with fear, tenderness, gratitude, and all kinds of emotions, making him look more like a living person.
