Jiang Ranli nodded hard. If she could get out of this palace, she would go as far as possible and never come back.
"Empress De, thank you." Although according to etiquette, Concubine De should be called the Queen Mother, in Jiang Ranli's heart, she will always be the kind Empress De.
Defei patted Jiang Ranli's hand gently. She originally had a daughter, but unfortunately she died young. Although Jiang Ranli was Lao Jiu's concubine, she often came to visit her over the years, talked to her and made her happy. In her heart, she liked Jiang Ranli very much.
"Silly child," after looking at Jiang Ranli deeply, Concubine De signaled Zhao Ma to bring the token, and then said, "Let's go quickly, it will be too late if you are late any longer."
After taking the token, Jiang Ranli couldn't help but give Defei a big hug. If she could successfully leave today, she would never see this kind elder again in the rest of her life. If she couldn't leave, Yinzhen would definitely keep a close eye on her, and she would never see this elder in the future. Moreover, Defei didn't have much time left in this world.
Jiang Ranli left with the Fourteenth Prince, looking back countless times. Concubine De was standing in the corridor in front of the palace, smiling gently and waving at her.
"Let's go," the Fourteenth Prince wanted to take Jiang Ranli's hand, but then he remembered that he was in the palace and surrounded by that man's spies, so he could only withdraw his hand in disappointment.
"Fourteenth Master, thank you, and I'm sorry," Jiang Ranli looked at the person who was walking quickly beside him, thanked him and apologized.
The Fourteenth Prince looked at her sideways, a smile appearing on the corner of his lips, "What's wrong with you? You thank me one moment and apologize the next. Tell me, what have you done to let me down?"
Jiang Ranli pursed her lips and said after a while, "Thank you for helping me so much, but this matter is extremely risky, so let's go our separate ways."
Although Jiang Ranli was holding the token of Concubine De, if she left the palace with the Fourteenth Prince, Yinzhen would definitely notice it, and the Fourteenth Prince would be implicated. Jiang Ranli knew that the Fourteenth Prince was sincerely helping her, but she could not accept it and could only let him down.
The Fourteenth Prince paused and turned to look at Jiang Ranli, with anger and confusion on his face. He was angry that the person in front of him did not accept his sincerity, and he didn't understand when they became so estranged.
"What do you mean? Why don't you be with me? In your heart, do I think I'm the coward who's afraid of being implicated by you? Jiang Ranli, when did the differences between us become so clear?"
Jiang Ranli lowered her head and didn't dare to look at the Fourteenth Prince, "Fourteenth Master, we will always be friends, you have to believe me."
After saying that, Jiang Ranli turned and walked in another direction, not giving the Fourteenth Prince any time to react.
Looking at Jiang Ranli's frail back, Fourteenth Prince's grip gradually tightened. He wanted to catch up, but... he knew Jiang Ranli wouldn't agree.
"You have such a bad and stubborn temper, I actually..." the Fourteenth Prince murmured, but he didn't say anything.
"Good luck to the Fourteenth Prince. May I ask if you have seen anyone suspicious in the palace?" A group of panic-stricken guards came over, greeted the Fourteenth Prince, and asked hurriedly.
As soon as he heard someone approaching, the Fourteenth Prince's expression changed, and his eyes were filled with anger, "Go away, I have never seen you before."
The guards were not surprised by his answer, because Fourteenth Prince's temper had been like this recently.
"Fourteenth Master, please forgive me," the guards said, and hurriedly walked away.
Looking at the pairs of nervous guards in the palace, the Fourteenth Prince knew that Yinzhen had discovered that Jiang Ranli was gone. He immediately sweated in his hands and hurried out of the palace.
