Chapter 377: She was so strange in the dream that even she didn’t recognize her.
After the imperial edict was read, the people from the Ministry of Rites stood there, not daring to urge Su Wanyan to kowtow and express her gratitude, and just waited respectfully.
Before leaving, the Emperor specifically instructed not to talk to the Empress about any cumbersome rules and etiquette. When the imperial edict was read out, even the Empress's choice of food and tea could be followed as she pleased.
He Bo and the others were also as quiet as chickens, waiting for the Queen's reaction.
There was no way. From the time the news came back until now, they still had not figured out the Queen's thoughts, and no one knew whether the Queen had given up on escaping.
Su Wanyan stood up from her chair. Seeing this, Xiao Wu, who was kneeling on the ground waiting for the Queen's reaction, hurriedly stood up and supported her, "Queen..."
Su Wanyan glanced at the nervous Xiaowu, nodded slightly, and signaled her to take the imperial edict.
Xiao Wu then breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they were willing to accept the imperial edict, it meant that the Queen Mother was not too opposed to entering the palace. Maybe, after they persuaded her properly later, the Queen Mother would happily take them back to the palace.
Seeing that the Queen had received the imperial edict, Xiao Wu was not the only one who thought so. The rest of the people present also had the same idea.
Therefore, that night, everyone relaxed their vigilance towards the Queen's courtyard. No one expected that it was because of their relaxation that the Queen's room was empty the next morning.
Looking at the empty room, Xiaowu and Shaoyao, who were waiting outside the door early to groom the Queen, said: "..."
Xiao Shiyi and Xiao Shisan, who were on guard that night but thought the Empress could not "escape", said: "..."
The Ministry of Rites who had come to the palace early to pay their respects to the Empress said: "..."
The most dumbfounded ones were He Bo and Rong Mama. They looked at each other with pale faces.
He Bo murmured, "It's over. I'm afraid my master will skin me alive this time."
Aunt Rong was worried. "I wonder how much food the young lady brought with her on her escape this time? Will she get hungry on the way?"
A group of people came to the hall, looking worried.
"What should we do? The Emperor will be arriving soon. If he knew that the Empress had run away with the imperial edict..."
"Yes, if the master finds out again that the Empress is still unwilling to enter the palace and has taken those three beauties away, she will be furious!"
That's right! Just now, they discovered that the Queen had fled without her personal maid Shaoyao or the extremely powerful Xiaowu. She had taken the three beauties from the backyard with her.
——
"My lady, where are we going?"
The three beauties who were packed up and taken away by the Queen Mother overnight were now being urged by the Queen Mother to hurry on their journey. Even though the young prostitute had the best physical strength among the three, he was a little exhausted after traveling all night.
The other two were staggering as they walked, looking like they were about to fall asleep on the spot at any moment.
"Let's go to the next county town. It's in the countryside and there are many mountains and forests. We'll hide there for a while. Don't worry, just follow me and I will make sure you continue to have a good life." Su Wanyan actually didn't know why she had to run away at night.
She hadn't even figured out where to run to avoid Ji Xiaohan.
The reason she was so nervous and uneasy was all because of a dream she had last night. In the dream, she followed Ji Xiaohan into the palace and competed with a group of beautiful women, vying for every bit of Ji Xiaohan's favor.
She was so strange in the dream that even she didn’t recognize her.
