Chapter 629: Escape (Part 1)
The carriage stopped hastily.
"Second Miss, what's wrong?"
Ye Chutang lifted the curtain again and looked outside, his eyes fixed.
Those people walked hurriedly.
Perhaps because he walked too fast, a hand inside the straw mat dropped down.
Ye Chutang's pupils suddenly shrank!
The hand was indeed a woman's, but the fingers were rough and there were two frostbite spots on the back of the hand.
These are definitely not the hands that a pampered princess should have!
One of them cursed in a low voice, "Hurry up! How can you do things! If you delay, you will be in trouble when you get back!"
The others hurriedly wrapped the straw mats tighter, but could not help but complain quietly.
"…We are so unlucky! We were assigned to do such a job! It's really unlucky!"
"That's right! If it was just an ordinary person, it would be fine, but she's a lady - when she was alive, we didn't benefit from her, but now that she's dead, she's causing us trouble!"
"Okay, stop talking! If someone hears you, be careful of the head on your neck!"
As they were talking, several figures hurried away and disappeared around the corner.
"Second Miss, shall we go back?" The driver didn't understand and had to ask again.
Ye Chutang came back to his senses, lowered his eyes and thought quietly for a moment.
"Return."
"Okay."
The driver whipped the horse and the carriage moved forward again.
Ye Chutang's mood was not as calm as before.
From what the palace servants said, it was indeed Xiao Lanxi who was taken out. However, Ye Chutang had just personally examined her "corpse" not long ago. She could confirm better than anyone else that the person on the straw mat was definitely not the real Xiao Lanxi!
Then, where is Xiao Lanxi's body?
Or maybe…
She didn't die at all! ?
As soon as this thought appeared in Ye Chutang's mind, she frowned.
Although she did not perform an autopsy on Xiao Lanxi, her on-site inspection was also very detailed.
Xiao Lanxi's heartbeat and breathing had stopped. No matter how you looked at it, she looked like she was dead.
But...if that were really the case, why would these palace servants carry out a fake corpse?
Emperor Mu Wu issued an imperial decree, ordering them to throw Xiao Lanxi's body out and dispose of it.
Who on earth is so bold as to replace one thing with another?
Countless speculations emerged in Ye Chutang's mind.
A warm and soft little hand suddenly fell on her hand.
Ye Chutang raised his eyes and met Xiaowu's puzzled and worried expression.
——Sister, what’s wrong with you?
Ye Chutang gave her a reassuring smile and patted her little hand.
"Don't worry, I'm fine. I just suddenly realized that something seems to be different from what I thought..."
Suddenly, she paused, looked down at the two people's folded hands, and suddenly a white light flashed in her mind!
That’s right!
Xiao Lanxi's body was still warm at that time!
Ye Chutang didn't care about it at first, thinking it was because Xiao Lanxi had just died not long ago, but now thinking back, she was shocked to realize that there was a second possibility!
Ye Chutang’s mind raced.
It's probably too late to go back to the palace now.
If Xiao Lanxi really had escaped, she must have found a safe place to hide by now. Even if Ye Chutang went back to look for her, how difficult would it be to find someone in such a huge palace?
It goes without saying that Xiao Lanxi was able to accomplish this task because there must be someone in the palace who supported her.
If we go back now, we will only alert the enemy.
Ye Chutang suppressed his thoughts.
The best way now is...
Use the opponent's trick against him!
