Just as Su Yao had halfway through the cave, she saw a pair of small shoes appear in front of her. Looking up, she saw that it was Qu Nian.
Behind Qu Nian was a group of palace maids and eunuchs.
Su Yao was so scared that she didn't dare to move. Qu Nian had been acting fiercely recently, and she was a little afraid of her.
And she was afraid that Qu Nian would tell her father.
Su Yan was still urging Su Yao on the other side of the wall.
"Hurry up! If someone comes and we're discovered, we won't be able to leave!"
Upon hearing this, Qu Nian bent down and pulled Su Yao out.
After Su Yao came out, she stood aside and didn't dare to say a word.
Su Yan then crawled out of the cave.
He was slightly bigger than Su Yao, so he could only lower his head and move forward.
He stretched out his hand in the direction of Qu Nian.
"Hurry, Yao'er, give me a hand."
Qu Nian didn't say anything, but walked forward, grabbed Su Yan's hand and pulled him out.
Su Yan was surprised when he was pulled out. When did Yao'er become so strong?
After he came out and stood up, he realized that the person who pulled him out was not Su Yao, but his elder sister Qu Nian.
"Why are you here?"
Qu Nian looked at Su Yan as if he were a fool.
"The Emperor couldn't find you two, so he asked me to bring people to look for you. Are you planning to escape from the palace?"
Su Yan glanced around. He thought that the wall he and Su Yao had just drilled through was the last palace wall. How come they were still in the palace?
Su Yan said stubbornly: "No, I was playing games with Yao'er."
Qu Nian couldn't help but laugh out loud, "You guys are playing a game of crawling through a dog hole? That's really unique!"
Su Yan's face turned red after being teased by Qu Nian, but he couldn't answer.
Qu Nian glanced at the maids around her and ordered:
"Can't you see that the Third Prince and the Fourth Princess are both filthy? Hurry up and prepare some hot water and some clean clothes. Then go tell Father that they've been found. Don't worry, we'll go pay our respects to them shortly."
All the palace maids and eunuchs received the order and went down to do their work, leaving only Qu Nianhe and the other two here.
Seeing that the person had gone far away, Qu Nian said to Su Yan:
"You've just arrived and haven't even gotten to know the palace, yet you're thinking of sneaking out? Be careful, or the Emperor will catch you and punish you by making you copy books.
Ahem, I do know a way to get out without anyone noticing."
Su Yan frowned and looked at Qu Nian, "Tell me, what do you want us to do in order to take us out?"
A smile bloomed on Qu Nian's face.
"It's nothing. I know you want to go find mother, and I just want to switch places with you. This time I'll help you cover for father, and next time you can help me and Zheng'er."
Su Yan thought about it and felt that this was fair, so he agreed to Qu Nian's proposal.
"Then go take a bath first. Wait for me in the palace after school tomorrow afternoon."
As soon as school was over the next day, Su Yan took Su Yao to wait in his palace.
Qu Nian arrived at the palace of Su Yan and the others on time. She took out a set of clothes for palace maids and eunuchs.
"Well, change it, so you won't be discovered."
After Su Yan and Su Yao put them on, they found that the clothes were similar to their body shapes and were just enough to support them.
Su Yan asked curiously:
"Are there any maids and eunuchs of our age in the palace? Why have we never seen any?"
Of course there were some in the palace, but the clothes were not obtained from the palace maids and eunuchs.
This was what Qu Nian and Qu Zheng used to wear and leave behind when they sneaked out.
Now Qu Nian and Qu Zheng can no longer wear them. She went back yesterday and rummaged through the boxes for a long time before she found them from the bottom of the box.
"Why are you asking so many questions? Hurry up and get dressed so that we won't be discovered by our father."
After hearing this, the two of them put on their clothes faster.
Qu Nian led the two of them through many twists and turns until they reached a secluded corner. Seeing that there was no one around, he squatted down and pulled away the weeds piled in the corner.
A dog hole was exposed in front of the three people.
Su Yan asked, "Is this the path you were talking about? Isn't it also a dog hole? How dare you talk about the two of us?"
Qu Nian kicked Su Yan on the buttocks.
"Why are you talking so much? If it weren't for me, would you have been able to find this place? Do you still want to get out? If you want to get out, then get out quickly.
Go out and there is an alley. If you walk a short distance along the alley, you can see the street and the crowds of people.
Su Yan said to Su Yao, "I'll go first so I can meet you outside later."
After Su Yan and Su Yao came out of the alley, they saw the street and the crowd.
When they stood on the street, they realized that they didn't know the way at all and didn't know which way to go.
Moreover, it was the first time for the two of them to go out alone, and they didn’t even have any money with them.
The two walked for a long time but couldn't find the house with the words "Su Mansion" written on it.
They looked at the bun shop on the roadside and their stomachs growled with hunger.
"Brother, I'm hungry. I want to eat buns."
Su Yan held Su Yao in his arms and said, "Yao'er, bear with it for a while. We will find mother and ask her to take us to buy buns."
The two little guys were wearing palace costumes and were very eye-catching standing on the street. Many people noticed them.
Su Yan wanted to go forward and ask for directions to the Su Mansion, but everyone was afraid to speak after seeing the clothes the two men were wearing, for fear that something might happen in the palace that would implicate them.
Su Yan was a little discouraged, and their movements were noticed by Qu Chengzhi who was on the second floor of a restaurant not far away.
He looked at the two children and found that they looked very similar to Qu Cheng'an. The two children were asking about the Su Mansion.
Qu Chengzhi guessed that the two children were Qu Cheng'an's children, who had secretly sneaked out of the palace.
Qu Chengzhi sent someone to pretend to pass by Su Yan, and was indeed stopped by Su Yan.
"My dear, do you know where the Su Mansion is?"
When Qu Chengzhi saw the two children following the people he sent, he put down the teacup in his hand and followed them.
Su Yan thought he had finally met a good person, but he found that this person was taking him into a sparsely populated alley.
Su Yao whispered to Su Yan:
"Brother, this doesn't look like a place where mother would live."
The person in front heard the two children behind him whispering and glanced back out of the corner of his eye.
Su Yan quickly signaled Su Yao to keep her voice down so that no one could hear her. He lowered his voice and said:
"I'll count to three and we'll turn around and run. Three, two, one, run!"
Su Yao was dragged by Su Yan and ran madly in the alley.
While running, Su Yan felt that the person behind him was not catching up. Looking back, he saw that the person was indeed standing still.
Su Yan felt something was wrong, but he didn't know what was wrong, so he could only pull Su Yao and keep running forward.
After running for a while, Su Yao couldn't run anymore.
Su Yan could only drag Su Yao along, "Yao'er, hold on. The exit is just ahead! Run to the street and you can ask for help."
Just as Su Yan was about to run out of the alley, a person suddenly appeared and blocked the way of Su Yan and the other person.
