She had just promised last night that she would not run away, but with the previous experience of breaking her promise, Jiuchen is a smart man and will not make the same mistake again.
Qi Lan came today and brought sleeping medicine again.
Su Changzhao judged from his expression that the medicine was put in the bowl that was brought to him, so he drank the bowl of bird's nest in front of him.
But she had taken an antidote pill beforehand, so the medicine had no effect on her.
The antidote pills were given to each other by Chanzhi and Yunsong that day.
Unexpectedly, it really worked at the critical moment.
There is only one pill, which means this is the last chance to escape.
She had to seize the moment.
After successfully leaving the Holy Womb and arriving at the Elders' Council, she couldn't help but think of one thing.
Three days ago, when she was running with Zong Xu, her old illness suddenly recurred.
Zong Xu felt her pulse at that time and it was clear that he had found out something.
Seeing his reaction of disbelief and laughter, I feel a little uneasy when I think about it now.
Jiuchen had clearly done something to her, but she didn't know when or what he had done.
Is it possible that I will have another attack during my escape?
If she fainted in the middle of the process, there would be no one by her side this time.
And fainting suddenly is also an extremely dangerous thing, she felt it deeply.
So along the way, she tried her best to avoid places where she would die if she fell down, such as ponds, green belts with thorny plants, and especially the carnivorous plants called Datura. She stayed as far away from them as possible.
When the exit from the Elders' House was right in front of us.
Just go through the door in front and you will reach the Shrine, and behind the Shrine is the Illusion Temple.
Compared to other places, the area of Phantom Court is much smaller, which means that as long as she speeds up a little, she will be able to escape.
In order to conceal her identity, she changed into the clothes of a servant of the Holy Palace and took the token from Qi Lan.
People in the Holy Palace have always been treated preferentially. As long as they hold a token, they can enter and exit freely.
Just as she put on her veil and lowered her head to walk over.
Suddenly a person appeared, my wrist was tightened, and I was dragged away by that person.
The reason why Su Changzhao followed that person was mainly because she recognized him.
"I knew you would run away today if you didn't give up."
It was Zong Xu.
Although he has a very similar face to Jiuchen, his hairstyle, clothing and temperament are all different.
Su Changzhao looked at him in disbelief, "You...are not..."
"Execution? That should be it, but am I the kind of person who would just sit there and wait for death?"
Su Changzhao: “…” How did he escape?
"Don't be in a daze," Zong Xu grabbed her wrist again, "Let's leave now. You can't go through the door over there. Follow me, I'll take you to the small path."
Zong Xu was once a spiritual child, so he was more familiar with the Council of Elders than she was.
Thinking that it was impossible for a fugitive like him to fall into the trap himself, let alone capture her for Jiuchen, she ran with him without saying a word.
But as he walked, Su Changzhao slowed down.
Zong Xu was originally pulling her to run, and the two were running well, but suddenly he couldn't pull her anymore.
He turned his head and saw Su Changzhao's veiled face, with a pair of peach eyes staring at him with extreme vigilance.
"Why don't you leave?" Zong Xu asked.
Su Changzhao first exerted force to free his wrist from the other party, and then said: "This is not the way to leave at all. The direction is completely wrong. Where are you taking me?"
"Haha, you are really cautious," Zong Xu laughed, "but you just realized it now, it's too late."
Zong Xu's smile faded, and as soon as he finished speaking, many guards began to emerge from the surroundings.
Su Changzhao's lips curled slightly under the veil, "With just these few people, you want to stop me?"
Zong Xu's face changed, "Catch her!" and he stepped back.
Although Su Changzhao couldn't guess how he escaped execution, the ringing of the bell in the Council of Elders just now was definitely true.
The four beeps were only fired when someone was about to be executed, and she was sure she had heard it correctly.
And the Council of Elders would never deliberately ring a fake bell for a death row prisoner.
Before I could think about it, the guards had already rushed over.
But how could these minions be a match for Su Changzhao?
She took out the folding fan from her waist and fanned the people who were rushing towards her with her backhand.
A violent gust of wind, accompanied by a strong internal force, struck out.
These people didn't know what was happening, they just felt that they had hit a solid wall of wind.
So many people! And they are all men!
He was unexpectedly knocked to the ground by a casual slap from the weak woman in front of him. He lay on his back, curled up in pain, and felt as if his internal organs were shattered.
Seeing this, Zong Xujun's face turned pale and he was stunned for a moment.
Her martial arts skills are so high?
Who is she?
With a loud crash.
Even though she was wearing a servant's uniform, Su Changzhao, who still had a graceful figure, put away her folding fan, raised her peach-colored eyes, looked at Zong Xu, and walked towards him.
“……” Zong Xu was like a rabbit being stared at by a wild beast. His back suddenly stiffened and he couldn’t even run away.
Su Changzhao walked over and said slowly, "You came at the right time. I was wondering how to leave, but I didn't expect you to come to me on your own. So I won't be polite."
He came up to Zong Xu and stretched out his hand towards his face.
But the next second.
Zong Xu said: "Aren't you curious why I'm not waiting to be executed at the execution ground?"
Su Changzhao's hand in the air paused, "What do you mean?"
Zong Xu's eyes were cunning, and he raised the corners of his lips, as if Su Changzhao's reaction had given him some courage. "Doesn't my clothes explain the problem?"
Su Changzhao's face darkened. She knew that he was wearing Jiuchen's clothes.
But when she thought about what he might say later, she couldn't help but find it ridiculous: "Oh, don't tell me that you and Jiuchen switched places and said that he was at the execution ground. Your poor disguise can't even fool me, let alone switch places?"
Zong Xu opened his arms, "Hahaha...yeah, I knew I couldn't fool you, so I didn't pretend from the beginning. But don't you find it weird?
The bell rang four times, and I was standing here safely.
You know that, right? The bell of the Elders' Council cannot be fake, so who do you think will appear at the execution ground at this time, ready to be executed? Hahaha..."
Seeing that he was smiling like he deserved a beating, Su Changzhao grabbed his neck with a cold face without hesitation!
Zong Xu couldn't laugh out loud: "Uh ah..."
Su Changzhao seemed very satisfied with the painful expression on his face, and then asked: "Tell me, what did you do to Jiuchen?"
Zong Xu saw that she was worried about Jiuchen, and his brows relaxed immediately. Even though his neck was pinched and hurt, he still felt happy. "Haha, didn't you try every possible way to escape? How could you care about his life or death?"
Su Changzhao seemed to have lost his patience. He tightened his fingertips and threatened with a cold look in his eyes:
"I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. Where is Jiuchen now? If you say another word, I will break your neck immediately!"
The voice was so cold that it was as if he was a different person.
It was the first time that Zong Xu saw her like this. Her eyes and tone were like a blood-soaked blade, intimidating and sharp, dangerous and deadly.
My heart was trembling, and I dared not even breathe...
