A very faint noise came from outside the cell, which seemed particularly abrupt in the quiet night.
Jiang Zhijing wasn't sleepy to begin with, but she noticed the soft sound and looked up.
A dark figure arrived at the cell door. Under her wary gaze, the figure ripped off their mask, tears welling in their eyes: "Your Highness!"
Jiang Zhijing stared at that face for a moment, then murmured in a daze, "Yun Que?"
"It is my prince! Hibari will rescue you right away!"
Lark had dealt with the jailer beforehand and obtained the key to the cell.
She opened the cell door and quickly came forward: "This place is not safe to stay for long. Our people are waiting for you outside, Your Highness. Let's leave here first."
Jiang Zhijing nodded, and the two left the cell. Several men in black surrounded them at the door.
"Your Highness, this way!"
Someone was hiding in the darkness, their expression obscure.
Chi Jingyu narrowed his eyes, his gaze flickering with emotion:
He had been keeping an eye on Yun Que, intending to see how she was communicating with the Fourth Prince. So when Yun Que made a move, he followed her immediately, but unexpectedly learned such a shocking secret!
Yun Que was actually from the State of Qi?
What is the relationship between the fourth prince and the State of Qi?
Chi Jingyu's eyes darkened, and he quietly turned and left.
A soft laugh suddenly rang out in the dark alley.
Chi Jingyu paused, a look of shock flashing in his eyes, and looked up warily.
A man stood at the end of the alley, slowly adjusting his sleeves: "Minister Chi, I wasn't paying attention and you've gotten yourself into big trouble. You really don't give me any peace of mind."
Chi Jingyu recognized the person and his heart was filled with turmoil, but he remained calm on the surface: "It's late and the dew is heavy. Your Highness's body cannot withstand the cold."
Yan Jue looked up at him, a slight smile playing on her lips, though it didn't reach her eyes; in her heart, she already harbored murderous intent.
...
With the city gate right in front of them, Jiang Zhijing's eyes welled up with indescribable emotions: "It's a pity that I'm leaving like this, without even having a chance to say goodbye to my new friends."
Hibari tilted his head curiously: "Your Highness has made new friends here?"
"Hmm...they're quite an interesting group." Jiang Zhijing remembered something, and an interest gleamed in her eyes. "Speaking of which, you know one of them. Why don't you pass on a message for me?"
Yun Que smiled and said, "I am willing to serve Your Highness."
——
The next day, news of a prison break arrived, and Chi Yan left in a hurry without even having breakfast.
As Shen Tangning sat at her dressing table tidying up, her thoughts drifted away:
She wasn't surprised that Jiang Zhijing was able to escape, and she figured the Eldest Princess wouldn't be either.
She dared to go to Daqing alone, plotted to eliminate her rival, the Second Prince, and threw Daqing into chaos, thus turning a desperate situation into a victory.
With Jiang Zhijing's courage and determination, if she successfully escapes this danger, she will definitely be a force to be reckoned with in the future.
Shen Tangning lowered her eyes and stared at the box in front of her. It was a pity that this gift could not be given.
Xueqing suddenly entered, her expression unusual: "Miss, Aunt Yun has arrived."
"Aunt Yun?" Shen Tangning didn't realize who Aunt Yun was until she heard the name Yun Que.
But then came the question: "What does she want with me?"
Shen Tangning still met Yun Que. It was drizzling outside, and when Yun Que was welcomed in, her thin clothes were slightly damp.
Shen Tangning looked up at her, suppressing her suspicion, and smiled slightly: "Does Aunt Yun need something from me?"
Unexpectedly, the other party knelt down with a thud, his expression pleading, "Please, Second Young Madam, save me!"
