Chapter 247 Escape



Yan An went from the Linglong Pavilion to the Dark Pavilion, saying, "Greetings, Your Highness."

Where is your prince?

"His Highness is inside. I'll take you there."

At this moment, Yue Xiyuan was with his bodyguards, sweat dripping down his neck and onto his clothes, adding to his sensual tension.

"Your Highness, the Princess Consort has come to see you."

Upon hearing that Yan An had arrived, Yue Xiyuan's attention was immediately drawn to him.

A grown man dropped what he was holding and ran towards Yan An.

"An'an, what brings you here?"

"An Si said you were busy, so he sent me to check on you."

Yue Xiyuan silently gave An Si a great credit in his heart, and he would definitely reward him handsomely in the future.

An Si sneezed several times in a row at Dali Temple.

"Fourth Brother, what's wrong?"

"It must be that the prince saw the princess and remembered how good I was to him. You all must be envious."

"Fourth Brother, if the Prince rewards you with anything, we've agreed that everyone who sees it gets a share."

"Alright, I'll give you some soup later."

"It's hot here, let me take you outside."

"It's alright, if you can stay, then I'll be fine with it too. I just want to check on your progress."

"Then shall we invite our Princess An to come and take a look?"

"Alright."

Yue Xiyuan took An'an's hand and walked inside.

Everyone couldn't help but marvel that the cold-blooded, violent, and feared King Yama actually had such a gentle side.

"It's really spacious inside. It must have taken a lot of time to build back then."

"Yes, it took more than two years. This is just a place we use to cast iron and forge weapons."

"Is this the iron mesh intended for the moat?"

"Well, time was too tight, so this is all we could do."

Yan An exclaimed again, "Not bad, as expected of the Dark Pavilion's speed."

"An'an, has the poison been cured?"

"Yes, they've already taken the antidote, and they should wake up in about an hour."

"As expected of the speed of the Divine Physician Luo Zhi!"

Her smile was as dazzling as the starry sky, beautiful and captivating. "Well, you've learned to tease me now, haven't you?"

Even if you gave me a million times the courage, I wouldn't dare. I'm telling the truth!

"Your Highness, it's ready."

"Shall we go take a look?"

"OK."

Yan An looked at the mountain of things that resembled an iron net, "Is this a net?"

"Well, time is tight, so this is all we can do."

"But how are you going to get it out? Won't that expose Linglong Pavilion?"

"This place is right next to the Moon Kingdom's armory. When a country needs to secretly manufacture some weapons, this is the only place it can do."

Yan An gave a thumbs up, "You're so cunning!"

Yue Xiyuan gently stroked Yan An's hair, a smile appearing on his lips, his entire demeanor softening.

The bodyguards present had already had their fill of being fed dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).

"There's no time to lose, you must hurry."

"Now that the Gu poison matter is over, and I've finished mine, let's go to Prince Xiao's mansion together."

"Alright."

"Seventeen, install the iron netting and stand by. Remember, if you find anything unusual, take it down immediately. Anyone who disobeys will be killed."

"Yes, Your Highness."

After leaving the Dark Pavilion, Yan An and Yue Xiyuan used their lightness skills to hurry towards the Prince Xiao's Mansion.

At this moment, inside the Prince Xiao's mansion, there are two guards watching over the room where Yue Zhixiao and the other two are imprisoned.

When no one was looking, Yue Zhixiao and his two companions secretly ate something.

In an instant, one or two guards collapsed. By the time they realized they had been poisoned and tried to take the antidote, it was too late.

That day, in addition to giving Yue Zhixiao and the other two 'shadows' and a map, there was also a poison and an antidote, all to prevent anyone from watching them all the time.

The three of them used their 'shadows' to open the secret room in their respective rooms.

Follow the secret passage to the end, place the 'shadow' inside, and the 'shadow' will start to rotate with the mechanism.

Suddenly the 'shadow' broke, and blood flowed out, staining the mechanism red.

"Mother!"

Yue Zhixiao, who came out first, saw her mother, and the two embraced tightly.

"Xiao'er, you've suffered these past few days, you've even lost weight. Have they hit you?"

Yue Zhixiao shook his head, "Prince Xiao, Mother."

Because Liu Xuening's health was not as good as before, she arrived late.

"Xue Ning? What happened to you? You've changed so much lately?"

Liu Xuening hadn't seen anyone for a long time, and immediately burst into tears. Coupled with her already emaciated body, she looked exceptionally pitiful at this moment.

"Mother, I haven't had a proper meal these past few days, and I've been vomiting so much that I've ended up like this."

"Good child, you've suffered. We'll make it up to you properly once we get out of here. There's still a long way to go, Xiao'er, carry Xue Ning across."

Liu Xuening's body couldn't hold on for much longer, but he had long lost interest in women. Now, whenever Liu Xuening got close, he couldn't help but feel nauseous.

Chen Jingshu also noticed Yue Zhixiao's unusual behavior and urged, "What are you waiting for? Once they find out, none of us will be able to leave."

Hearing his mother's warning, Yue Zhixiao finally realized what was happening, suppressed the nausea in his heart, and carried Liu Xuening on his back.

Upon reaching the end, Yue Zhixiao saw that the mechanism still resembled the same awl-shaped object. "Damn it, the key from before is broken."

"It's nothing." Chen Jingshu put the 'shadow' hanging around her neck into the mechanism, and the stone door opened instantly.

"What we gave you were all imitations; this is the key left over from when the mechanism was originally set up."

Yue Zhixiao then realized what was going on.

The shadow sent by Yan Shaoheng was already waiting here. "Your Highness, your subordinate has been waiting for a long time."

"Mother, why does this person call you Princess?"

"I'll explain this to you later. Let's hurry up and leave. Once the drug wears off, you'll find that we've escaped."

"What the princess says is true. Young prince, let's go quickly. The prince is still waiting for you."

The conversation between Chen Jingshu and the person in front of her left Yue Zhixiao confused, but she didn't ask any further questions.

The four of them passed through a narrow passage and arrived at a more spacious place.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, please be seated. We're about to leave the Moon Kingdom."

If someone ignored Liu Xuening like this on a normal day, she would definitely teach them a lesson, but today she had already done enough exercise and was so tired that she closed her eyes.

Chen Jingshu saw what Yue Zhixiao wanted to ask, "Xiao'er, I will tell you everything after we leave Yue Kingdom. It's not the right time yet."

Chen Jingshu felt that Yue Zhixiao's biological father needed to be present to explain his background.
