"Yes, at least... Queen Zhenxian will not die early." Zhong Mingwei said slowly.
Mei Ya was startled, then held Zhong Mingwei's hand. She whispered, "In a few days it will be the anniversary of the death of Queen Zhenxian. We are finally in the capital this year. I wanted to accompany you to the imperial mausoleum to pay respects to her. But I didn't expect that the day would come soon. We have to flee the capital again. We can't go to the imperial mausoleum anymore."
"It's okay, she won't blame us," Zhong Mingwei smiled. He hugged Mei Ya from behind and sighed softly, "Such an incident has happened. I'm afraid it will delay your return to Ningguta to attend Grandma Chen's funeral. I feel really ashamed when I think about it."
"Granny Chen won't blame us." Mei Ya said to Zhong Mingwei with her head raised.
Zhong Mingwei was startled, then he smiled and nodded: "Yes, Grandma Chen is so kind and generous. She will definitely not blame us."
"Whoa! Whoa!"
The carriage came to a steady stop. Pang Yi jumped off the carriage and opened the door: "Master, Madam, please get off. There is a small village here. We will not go into the village, but just rest in the small inn outside the village to wait for the guards Da Kong and Mr. Chen."
"Okay." Zhong Mingwei and Mei Ya got off the carriage one after another. He looked back at the weedy path they had come from and asked worriedly, "Can they find us?"
"Master, don't worry. I have left secret codes along the way, and the guard Da Kong will definitely recognize them." Pang Yi said as he tied up his horse and went into the inn first to book two guest rooms. He then asked Zhong Mingwei and Mei Ya to go into the rooms to rest first, and asked several guards to keep watch in secret. Then he went to buy clothes and breakfast.

Kong Wenmin drove the carriage quickly across the wilderness. On the other side sat Chen Qingxuan, who was leaning against the carriage door with his hands folded across his chest and his eyes closed. Seeing his tired face, Kong Wenmin put down the whip and took off his cloak to cover Chen Qingxuan. Chen Qingxuan's eyelashes trembled, and then he opened his eyes with great effort, looking at the dark blue sky. He was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and turned to look at Kong Wenmin: "Where are we?"
"Beijing Suburbs," Kong Wenmin said, covering him with a cloak and picking up the whip, "You sleep a little longer."
"I'm not sleepy anymore," Chen Qingxuan rubbed his eyes and sat up straight. He looked at the black cloak covering his body and felt a little awkward, but he didn't take it off. He gathered the cloak and asked Kong Wenmin, "When can we catch up with Master and Madam?"
They had originally agreed to meet outside the city gate, but Pang Yi was afraid of being discovered, so he didn't dare to stay outside the city gate. In addition, troops were coming in and out of the city one after another, so Pang Yi didn't dare to wait for people there any longer, so he left secret signals along the way and set off first. Kong Wenmin and his men left the city gate a quarter of an hour later than Pang Yi and his men. At that time, the capital was under martial law, and they almost didn't get out. It took a lot of effort, so they were delayed for some time.
"They should be waiting for us. It's almost dawn. We can't keep on traveling. We need to find a place to rest," Kong Wenmin said, glancing into the carriage behind him. Then he came over and asked Chen Qingxuan in a low voice, "Is this man reliable? Can we take him to see the master and the mistress?"
"Stay away from me," Chen Qingxuan frowned and stretched out his hand to push Kong Wenmin away. Somehow, he felt that Kong Wenmin was particularly annoying today. He always liked to get close to him no matter what. In fact, he didn't start to be annoying today. Chen Qingxuan had been annoyed with him for a long time, but he was not really annoying... Anyway, Chen Qingxuan couldn't explain it clearly, and he was too lazy to think about it. He paused, then whispered to Kong Wenmin, "How do I know if he is reliable? But the situation was urgent at the time. If we leave him in Fengyu Villa, he will die. And you have seen Qingtong's attitude towards him. If we really don't care whether he lives or dies, then Qingtong will have to wait for death with him. Can we not take him with us?"
