Chapter 254 Let me out of the palace, I want to go home

Amused by Yuan Heng's reaction, Ji Qingwu finally showed a slight smile on his lips.

"There is a blade of grass."

She is not the kind of person who would vent her anger on others because of her incompetence. She knows exactly who to look for when there is a grievance and a debt.

But it’s getting late now, so she still needs to go back to the Cining Palace as soon as possible.

But looking at the surrounding scenery, she wanted to go back but didn't know the way, so she could only pin her hopes on Yuan Heng. "Your Highness, do you know how to get back to the Cining Palace?"

Yuan Heng said profoundly: "Wait for the palace servants passing by to come over and ask them and they will know."

He also didn't know that Ji Qingwu was standing at the fork in the road.

He asked, "We have been in the bushes for so long and haven't seen anyone passing by. Will we be waiting for someone?"

Yuan Heng said: "No, Xiao Shunzi will come to find me."

Ji Qingwu still remembered the eunuch who took care of the little prince.

Rather than waiting for Xiao Shunzi to come over and make a fuss, letting everyone in the palace know, it would be better for her to find her own way back.

However, Ji Qingwu was confused on the way here and did not notice any signs.

But when she looked back at the place where she had just been, she suddenly noticed something strange.

She remembered that she had pulled all the flowers and plants on the ground before, but now they had mysteriously disappeared. It was definitely that place.

At this time, the gate of the palace not far away opened, and a palace maid in yellow holding a lantern came out.

She walked towards the two of them and bowed, "I greet your Highness and Miss Ji Wu."

Yuan Heng put his hands behind his back and said, "Get up. Do you know how to get to Qianyuan Palace from here?"

The maid replied, "I am from Anhua Palace. Her Majesty specifically asked me to lead the way."

The timing was just right, Ji Qingwu asked, "How did the queen know that we were lost at the door?"

The maid said, "This is the most remote place in the entire Phoenix Palace. People often mistakenly enter the vicinity of Anhua Palace and cannot find the way out."

Lost in, can't find a way out...

Ji Qingwu remembered that she had walked on such a changing road before.

The road behind the Hanshan Temple is like this.

The maid led them forward, and Ji Qingwu said, "This road seems to be different from the way I came here."

The maid did not stop walking as she praised, "Miss Ji Wu is really smart. Because our queen likes quietness, she used some tricks when building this place."

This confusing formation was also used in the palace. This empress really didn't like to interact with others, but Emperor Wu Su was willing to agree to do so, so she must have been favored in the past.

Ji Qingwu had never heard of this person's name, so she asked, "Excuse me, who is your queen?"

The maid said, "My master is Concubine Hui. My queen doesn't like to go out, so it's normal that you haven't heard of her."

She stopped walking as she spoke. The road ahead became wider and palace maids passed by one after another.

"This is the main road to the palace. I will not escort the young prince and Miss Ji any further."

Ji Qingwu said: "Thank you."

After walking a few steps, Xiao Shunzi appeared anxiously and kept chattering in Yuan Heng's ear for a long time.

"Oh my little prince, why are you leaving me? If anything happens to you, I will be held responsible."

Yuan Heng was annoyed by his nagging: "What can happen to me in the palace? There are so many guards here, so don't make any noise."

Xiao Shunzi said: "The safest place can sometimes be dangerous. It's really thanks to Miss Ji for sending the little prince back."

Ji Qingwu turned sideways and did not accept his greeting.

It turned out that Yuan Heng followed her all the way to the vicinity of Anhua Palace. It was not just a walk, and she almost lost Yuan Heng.

Ji Qingwu half squatted down and said, "Your Highness, I think what Eunuch Shun said is right. Even if you are in the palace, you can't run around. Your safety is more important than anything else."

At this time, the sky had darkened and the palace lanterns on the road were lit.

The yellow light and shadow cast on Ji Qingwu's face, making her expression look unspeakably gentle.

Yuan Heng couldn't help but take half a step forward, closer to her and whisper in her ear.

"I just wanted to see you."

Ji Qingwu's heart softened when he heard the soft voice: "Then how about we arrange a time to meet every day?"

Yuan Heng's dark eyes lit up and he said something in her ear again.

Ji Qingwu nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you. Go back with Xiao Shunzi."

When Ji Qingwu returned to Cining Palace, the palace maid who accompanied her to Zhaoyang Palace to deliver soup had already told the empress dowager everything that had happened in front of the emperor.

When Ji Qingwu entered the palace, the empress dowager was sitting on the long chaise longue with a sullen face and her eyes closed.

Shixi was massaging her shoulders. When Fanghua saw Ji Qingwu, she gave her a worried look.

"Meet the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother slowly raised her eyes and waved, "You are finally back. Come to me."

Ji Qingwu took a deep breath.

She blinked, a layer of mist appeared in her eyes, and she walked to the side of the empress dowager.

The Queen Mother saw the dirt on her shoes and the hem of her dress, and also saw the tears in her eyes.

The two of them had not spent the past few days together in vain, as the empress dowager knew that her niece was a sincere person.

He swallowed back his words of reprimand and his tone became much more relaxed.

"I have seen many women, but I have never seen someone like you who looks gentle and kind, but is actually stubborn and stubborn."

Ji Qingwu stood there with his head down, looking dejected.

The Queen Mother waved Shixi aside and looked at her.

"If the emperor is in a bad mood, you should retreat. When the emperor is in a good mood, you can appear again."

Thinking of what the palace maid said about Ji Qingwu smashing the soup bowl in front of Emperor Wu Su, the empress dowager's heart sank, and she thought her niece's life was in danger.

The Queen Mother said, "How much do you weigh? Do you think you have nine lives? How dare you get angry with the Emperor?"

When Ji Qingwu raised his head, his face was full of sadness, with a tear hanging on his lower eyelid, about to fall, which made people feel very pitiful.

"Empress Dowager, you didn't see how cold His Majesty looked and what he said."

Seeing her expression, the Queen Mother felt a little bit uncomfortable.

She sighed, "I'm also an experienced person. It's normal for two people to have some bumps and bruises."

"Let alone the emperor, even the wives of ordinary officials would not smash pots and bowls because of a few words. If it gets out, people will laugh at it."

Ji Qingwu said aggrievedly: "It was His Majesty who broke the bowl first, and it was His Majesty who said that he was tired of me."

The Queen Mother frowned and said, "He is the emperor. Just because he can do something doesn't mean you can do it."

Ji Qingwu covered her face with her hands and sobbed, "I've already fallen, and I have no face to stay in the palace. The Queen Mother will let me out of the palace. I want to go home."

When the queen mother heard her say that she wanted to go back, her face changed.

It's rare for the Ji family to have someone that the emperor likes. Although she was rejected, she got a title first, and everything else can be discussed later.

The Queen Mother said anxiously, "Child, you want to go home when you encounter a little setback. How can you be so naughty?"

Ji Qingwu choked up and said angrily, "If the Queen Mother doesn't make the decision for me, I will leave the palace and go home!"

The Queen Mother was at a loss as to what to do with her behavior.

"How do you want me to decide for you?"
