Yu Jinshu was led by her personal maid Yue Tao to run towards the main hall gate.
But when they arrived at the gate of the hall, they heard cries of killing from all over the place.
Yu Jinshu lifted her skirt and just took a step forward when she saw the Wei army holding swords and killing anyone they saw. There were already casualties outside the hall.
The palace maids cried and the Wei army laughed lewdly.
Yue Tao was frightened and cried: "Princess, we can't escape. What should we do? What should we do?"
Yu Jinshu's mind raced, and he suddenly thought of a place. He turned and ran into the hall, "Let's go, Yuetao."
Yue Tao turned around and followed Yu Jinshu: "Princess, where are you going? The Wei army will enter the palace soon."
Seeing Yue Tao running slowly, Yu Jinshu simply turned back and grabbed her hand, "Run faster, I have a place to escape."
Yue Tao couldn't think of where to escape to, and the dormitory was inside.
Yu Jinshu pulled Yuetao into the dormitory.
Relying on the original owner's memory, she remembered that there was a secret door in the bedroom that led to a secret room outside the palace.
When the palace was being built, secret passages were built in several main palaces to escape from the palace.
According to the book, her father was killed by rebellious ministers before he could enter the secret passage.
Her mother was a palace maid and died in a palace fight long ago.
The queen who killed her mother was in the front hall with her father at the time and was raped by the Wei army.
There was no passage leading to the secret room in the palaces of the concubines, so they could only be bullied and slaughtered by the Wei army.
Yu Jinshu turned the lamp stand beside the bed in the dormitory, and sure enough, the wardrobe made a rumbling sound and a stone door opened.
Yue Tao asked in surprise: "Princess, why is there a door here?"
Yu Jinshu was packing up the jewelry in the dormitory.
As a woman on the run, she couldn't survive without money.
Hearing the faint sound coming from outside, she said to Yue Tao, "Hurry up and go."
She entered the passage and waited for Yuetao to come in. Then she touched a copper lamp inside the door and tried to turn it, but the door closed again.
The passage was pitch black.
Yue Tao had a fire starter with her, and the lamp caught fire when she blew it. She lit the lamp and held it in her hand.
With the light, the two of them walked forward.
The palace was so huge that the secret passage was very long.
After walking for more than an hour, they finally reached the bottom.
After going up the narrow steps, you can see a square stone door above.
Yu Jinshu raised her hand and touched the lamp on the stone wall. With a twist, the square stone door opened and a layer of dust fell down, making them even more miserable.
Yue Tao plucked up her courage and climbed up first. It was already dark outside.
"Princess, this is a wasteland."
Yu Jinshu put down the bag first, climbed up and looked around in the dim light of the lamp. He couldn't see where exactly he was. He could only see grass and trees where the light reached.
"Let's change our clothes first."
She hurriedly took out two large cloth towels used for bathing from her bag.
Yue Tao looked at the cloth and said, "Princess, do you mean to wear this?"
Yu Jinshu took off her gorgeous palace skirt and threw it directly into the secret passage. She tied the heavy bag around her waist, picked up a large cloth towel and put it on her body, took out the belt from her palace skirt and tied it above her waist.
Yue Tao was shocked and asked, "Princess, are you pretending to be pregnant?"
Yu Jinshu looked at Yue Tao and asked, "Do you think we'll be caught by the Wei army if we run away wearing palace clothes?"
Yue Tao laughed and said, "Princess, you are so clever. You tied all the jewels to your belly and pretended to be pregnant, so that no one would dare to touch you."
Yu Jinshu said, "From now on, you are not allowed to call me princess, just call me sister."
Yue Tao nodded quickly: "Sister."
Yu Jinshu smiled and responded, pointing to the cloth on the ground: "Hurry up and put it on like me and tie it up with the belt."
Yue Tao bent down to pick up the large cloth towel, and imitated Yu Jinshu, draping the cloth towel over her body and tying it up with the belt on her palace skirt.
Yu Jinshu was squatting on the ground digging the soil. After finally digging out some soil, he smeared it on his body, turning the originally white cloth into a dusty color.
Yue Tao understood what this meant. If she wanted to save her life, she had to get as dirty as possible. So she also dug the soil and smeared it on her body.
Yu Jinshu also took off her hair, removed her head ornaments and earrings and stuffed them into the bag on her belly, and then tied her hair up casually.
Her face was already covered in dust and dirt, and she added more, smearing her originally stunning face beyond recognition.
Yuetao did as she said.
"Princess, no, sister, this way we will be refugees."
Yu Jinshu looked at Yue Tao seriously and said, "We are refugees fleeing from war."
Yue Tao's brows darkened: "Sister, where should we go next?"
Yu Jinshu looked around and said, "It's not advisable to stay here for long. We must leave here first."
Where to go after leaving here?
She also had to look up the contents of the book in the system and find out what kind of person the hero of the book was and where he was now.
She must go to the male protagonist.
This wasteland is completely uninhabited and looks like it is on a mountain.
As they walked along, Yu Jinshu and Yue Tao took every step carefully, but they were still cut by the grass.
Because Yue Tao fell, the oil in the lamp spilled and almost set the mountain on fire. Fortunately, Yu Jinshu stomped out the flames in time.
Yu Jinshu had a dagger in his hand, but it was not of much use.
Seeing that the Wei army did not chase after her, which meant that the secret passage had not been discovered, she breathed a sigh of relief and planned to rest on the spot for a while.
This break was only for her body, her mind wouldn't let her rest.
She checked the contents of the book in the system.
The male protagonist's name is Jun Huan.
He is the grandson of the emperor of Qi. Twenty years ago, when he was only five years old, the powerful Wei State defeated Qi and destroyed it.
From then on, the royal family of Qi State hid in the mountains and became bandits in the eyes of the officials of Wei State.
In fact, the royal family of Qi only robbed the carriages and horses of Wei officials on the mountain roads, and often robbed the rich to help the poor.
Now Jun is still the leader of a village in the mountains.
It seems that she is going to the mountains to find Jun Huan this time and become his wife.
The book also talks about Jun Huan's personal affairs.
It is said that he was determined to restore his country, so he recuperated in the mountains and planned to raise an army to defeat the State of Wei.
Therefore, he doesn't care about love at all.
Even though there were many beautiful girls in the mountains who admired him and wanted to be his wife, he remained unmoved.
There are also maps in the system.
She is currently located in Zijin Mountain near the imperial city, a thousand miles away from the mountain where her male master is.
Oh my!
Yu Jinshu wondered if the system thought she had been too successful before and was going to give her a good beating this time.
It's thousands of miles away. How can she, a girl, go there in the midst of war and chaos?
