Although he was unwilling, Wang Chenghai knew that he had no choice. He nodded and said, "Don't worry, you are not the only one who is loyal."
After hearing this, Yuan Dong knew that it was unreasonable for her to take her anger out on him. After all, it was the princess who suggested the idea of going together, and no one wanted such an accident to happen.
The two people here were waiting silently and anxiously, while Meng Qi was being held by that person over there. After a few ups and downs, they had reached the courtyard on the right side of Hanyuan.
The man put Meng Qi down and said softly, "Princess, please wait a moment. I will go to Lanxin Palace to take a look."
Meng Qi nodded and whispered, "Be careful."
As he spoke, the man flew out again. A moment later, he returned and whispered, "My guess was correct. They have searched the west wing thoroughly."
Meng Qi was surprised, and then hurriedly said, "Those things..."
"Don't worry, Princess. When I went to rescue you, I had the person I contacted take the things back, and I will go get them myself. Today's incident frightened you, Princess. It's my fault. I didn't expect there would be three groups of people watching that place. I think the place has been exposed and they were just waiting for this opportunity."
Meng Qi could hear the anger in the man's tone, "Do you know how you were exposed?"
The man shook his head, then nodded. "It's not difficult to investigate. Don't worry, Princess. I will inform the prince of this matter as soon as possible and take precautions. I will send you back now. Until your house arrest is lifted, you are not allowed to go out for the next few days, and you are not allowed to go to the backyard or to the Lanxin Palace again."
Meng Qi nodded, thought for a moment and asked, "How did you find me?"
"I clearly saw them chase you to the courtyard behind Rongyang Palace, where the laundry department used to be. I fought with them there. After injuring two of them, I went to look for the princess, but I didn't hear any movement at all."
Meng Qi realized that the place she had rolled into was the old laundry room.
"After I led them far away and found a higher place, I saw birds flying out from where I had just spotted you. I thought there must be someone there, so I went to give it a try."
Meng Qi nodded. This man was quite smart. If no one disturbed them late at night, the bats and birds would not fly out in so many numbers.
"How could the princess run so far? How did you get there?" The man tugged at his clothes and bent down as if to grab Meng Qi.
Meng Qi was about to reply, but after a moment's thought, she said, "I don't know either. I was afraid of being caught, so I ran as fast as I could. I heard them fighting, and I didn't know it was you. I was so scared, I just kept running, and that's where I ran to."
The man nodded without asking any more questions. He bent down, picked up Meng Qi, and flew over the wall with his feet and flipped into Hanyuan.
Meng Qi pointed to the west room and said, "Go under the window over there."
The man saw the half-open window of the west room and ran over quickly.
Yuan Dong was leaning on the window sill looking out again when he suddenly saw a figure running towards him. Before he could open his mouth, the figure was already close to him.
Wang Chenghai also heard the voice and hurried forward. Seeing that it was the person who had just spoken to him, he breathed a sigh of relief. He saw that he had loosened his arms. Meng Qi stood steadily beside him and gently called out "Amitabha", and Yuan Dong's tears suddenly flowed out.
Meng Qi said softly, "Don't talk, I'm fine. Wang Chenghai, give him the things."
Wang Chenghai quickly turned around to get the cloth bag, and Yuan Dong reached out and took Meng Qi in.
The man took the cloth bag without saying much, clasped his fists towards Meng Qi, and disappeared into the night in a few jumps.
Meng Qi patted the hay off her body, signaled Yuan Dong to be quiet, and said to Wang Chenghai, "Go early tomorrow and seal the hole leading to Lanxin Palace. It would be best if it's old so that no one can see through it."
Wang Chenghai responded and reached out to close the window.
Yuan Dong changed Meng Qi's clothes and looked at the cut on her palm caused by the branch. She wiped it while crying, "You are so brave. You shouldn't have followed Wang Chenghai. If something really happened, what would I do?"
Seeing Yuan Dong take out the medicine box and apply the medicine to her, Meng Qi smiled softly and said, "If I don't go, not only will those things be confiscated by them, but Wang Chenghai will also be arrested. All our plans these days will be in vain, and the prince will be in a more passive position."
"That's better than almost losing my life." Yuan Dong applied the medicine gently.
Meng Qi sighed. Tonight had been truly too thrilling. If she had known this would happen, she would have just let Wang Chenghai tell this person to come to Hanyuan to get it. Then she thought, wouldn't that have exposed herself even more?
But no matter what, I am safe, the things have been delivered, and my goal has been achieved.
