Chapter 257 She Runs and He Chases
Su Zhiwan expressed her admiration for Ye Xiaoman's courage in overcoming her fear.
She was ruthless: [Let’s delete each other.]
[Beep, beep, beep…]
Ye Xiaoman finally understood that no matter how powerful one's connections were, they were useless in the face of real evil forces.
She turned her grief and anger into strength and supervised the nine dragons, "Eat faster."
…
Xiao Chujing and Sikong Qing were frantically searching for Ye Xiaoman, who was trying hard to escape from Ji Wenyi.
Jiaying hadn't seen Ye Xiaoman for several days, and the only way to keep in touch was through correspondence. Whenever he asked Ye Xiaoman where she was, she would disconnect him, leaving him in a state of panic as if he had been abandoned.
As for Ji Weiming, on his way back to his fiefdom, he had already negotiated with more than a dozen aristocratic families, amassed an army, and directly proclaimed himself emperor, declaring war on Ji Wenyi.
Ambitious local governors in various places also took the opportunity to cause chaos.
The divine realm fell into chaos.
After several days of supervision by Ye Xiaoman, the nine dragons finally gnawed off the four chains on her hands and feet.
Ye Xiaoman sneaked out of the bedroom.
On the way to escape, he passed by the meeting hall where Ji Wenyi and his ministers were holding a meeting to discuss work.
She heard them mention her pseudonym and curiously squatted under the window to eavesdrop.
The ministers strongly opposed Ji Wenyi marrying Ye Xiaoman.
"I'm making this a death-defying remonstration. Xiangla was the late emperor's concubine. According to the laws of our dynasty, a stepmother cannot marry. This matter has spread like wildfire. If you make her empress at this critical juncture, you will lose the support of the people."
Ji Wenyi responded flexibly: "Rules are dead, but people are alive. As long as there is love in the heart, proving that it is true love between each other, the law can be relaxed appropriately."
"What does His Majesty mean?"
"The law says I have violated the rites and laws, so I will amend the law."
"If the father's wife inherits his wife's property, it is legal if both parties agree," Ji Wenyi emphasized. "As for the younger brother marrying his older brother after his brother dies, it is strictly prohibited."
The ministers were conquered by Ji Wenyi's shamelessness.
I had to persuade him from another angle.
"Xiangla doesn't love you at all. This is the voodoo doll we found in her room. When we found it, she was chanting a spell to curse you!"
"I'm lucky, it doesn't matter."
"Xiangla is vicious. She took advantage of your sleep and set the fire. This is a premeditated regicide!"
"I'm still alive, right?"
"Xiangla also poisoned your tea."
"It just happened to improve my immunity."
Ji Wenyi said with a pleasant expression, "Abao is quite naughty. If she does anything inappropriate, I will go back and tell her about it."
"My dear ministers, you have all made great contributions. You told me that she doesn't love me. This time I pretended not to hear you. If you mention it again next time, your entire family will be executed."
The ministers nodded in agreement and the matter was over.
At this moment, the palace servant who was taking care of Ye Xiaoman ran in and shouted, "It's bad, Your Majesty!"
Ji Wenyi asked: "Has the Queen figured it out?"
Palace attendant: "Your Majesty, after being imprisoned for seven days and seven nights, the Empress bit through her chains and escaped!"
Ji Wenyi stood up immediately: "Bring it back."
At the same time, Ye Xiaoman flew out like a cannonball and ran towards the wall.
Ji Wenyi's spiritual sense scanned her movements, and he changed his shape and immediately appeared behind her.
"Po!"
Ye Xiaoman didn't even turn her head back, concealing her presence and diving into the bushes. Relying on the cover of plants, she desperately flew to the bottom of the wall. Behind the high wall, freedom was waving at her.
She was about to climb over the wall when a team of patrolling secret guards suddenly appeared from behind the wall and tried to capture her.
Ye Xiaoman felt regretful, thinking that this jailbreak would end in failure. Unexpectedly, there was a ray of hope, and Su Lingzhen suddenly appeared from the other side of the wall.
Wearing a mask, she led a team of guards and lay in ambush nearby for several days. Finally, she saw Ye Xiaoman escaping from prison and immediately came to pick her up.
She was still very afraid of Ji Wenyi. Even when she was robbing the prison, she was draped with a big red banner with "Personal Behavior" written on the front and "Not Related to the Family" written on the back.
Ye Xiaoman was embarrassed. It would be easier to be discovered this way.
Ye Xiaoman was extremely grateful. The Su sisters were still loyal. Although they said they didn't want to be implicated by her, they still helped her.
She took advantage of the fight between Su Lingzhen and the secret guard to successfully break through a corner of the barrier and climb over the wall to leave the Prince's Mansion.
"Catch the Queen."
Ji Wenyi rushed to the scene with his men.
He exerted his coercive power to try to control Ye Xiaoman.
Ye Xiaoman was not panicked at all, she had already put on a pair of jade bracelets.
However, it would be difficult for her, who was only in the Qi Refining stage, to defeat Ji Wenyi and his masters.
Just when Ye Xiaoman was about to fail, a powerful divine thought appeared out of nowhere.
Suppress Ji Wenyi and all masters.
Ye Xiaoman looked up and saw a huge white silk appeared in the sky above her head.
Su Zhiwan appeared.
They also brought a female cultivator who looked very much like Guanyin Bodhisattva.
Su Zhiwan stood on the white silk, covered in colorful clouds. She looked at Ye Xiaoman coldly and said respectfully to the female cultivator beside her:
"Master, this person once saved my life. He is in trouble. Please help him."
The master that Su Zhiwan moved in with was a powerful being in the Spirit Transformation Stage, a great figure at the level of an ancestor in the Divine Realm.
She gently waved the willow branches, and Ye Xiaoman was lifted away from her spot by a gust of wind.
On her way into the air, Ye Xiaoman passed by the mermaid secret guard Sanqi.
Sanqi didn't know if he was shocked by the great master in the Spirit Transformation Stage, but he ignored Ji Wenyi's stern orders and didn't take any action, thus missing the opportunity to stop Ye Xiaoman.
Ye Xiaoman understood that the mermaid had released water to save her again.
Su Zhiwan flew over, grabbed Ye Xiaoman and ran away.
Su Lingzhen took the opportunity to retreat, and Master Su Zhiwan was responsible for the aftermath.
Ye Xiaoman successfully escaped.
"Awan, just leave me in the imperial city."
Su Zhiwan said: "The imperial capital is still Ji Wenyi's territory. He has ten thousand ways to find you. At least you are safe when you leave the city."
She looks cold, but she is actually a very warm-hearted person.
Without saying anything, he first used the ancient magic circle secretly set up in the city by Mount Buzhou to smuggle Ye Xiaoman out of the city, and then cast several spells of shrinking the earth into an inch in succession, taking Ye Xiaoman to escape to the nearest city.
Su Zhiwan and Ye Xiaoman crawled out from underground and appeared out of nowhere in the bustling city.
The residents had long been accustomed to the monks' mysterious appearances, so their sudden emergence from the ground was not surprising and did not cause any disturbance.
"This is Dingya City, one of the eight cities that protect the imperial capital. The city lord is currently clearly opposing Ji Wenyi's rule. You are safe here for the time being."
After Su Zhiwan explained the basic situation, she received a call from her master. As she listened, her expression suddenly became serious.
"Has Ji Wenyi recognized your identity?"
"He also threatened to raze Mount Buzhou?"
"The Ji family has a strong desire for revenge and uses tough tactics. They always keep their promises. This time, they are doomed."
Buzhou Mountain had probably suffered a lot at the hands of the royal family. Su Zhiwan's expression became increasingly serious. "What? We have to rush back and move overnight? Okay, I understand."
