"Zhuxuan, do you think the prince would not know if the big kitchen dared to give us such food?" Xia Luotong asked with a chuckle.
Zhuxuan's eyes flashed slightly and she couldn't say anything to refute.
Yes, without the prince's connivance, how could the servants in the big kitchen dare to go so far? No matter how unpopular Xia Luotong was, it was still a marriage granted by the emperor. A serious prince and concubine was included in the royal decree.
"So we have to rely on ourselves. Otherwise, if one day, the big kitchen brings bad food, do you think we should eat it or not?" Xia Luotong said lightly, with a firm light in his eyes, no matter where She knew all her life that only she was the most reliable.
Zhuxuan knew that her princess was right, she would be extremely hungry by then, and they would have to eat even the rotten food, otherwise they would starve to death.
"Master, just give me your orders, all slaves will obey you!"
Xia Luotong smiled and nodded, and took Zhuxuan to eat the rice soup with vegetables in two or two mouthfuls, and then hid in the room to plan.
In the next few days, the meals delivered by the big kitchen did not change much. There were still two meals of rice soup every day, but the vegetables were becoming less and less fresh. Sometimes it was obvious that they were leftovers from the previous meals. of.
Xia Luotong's complexion was getting worse day by day, and her body was getting weaker. Sometimes she felt dizzy when she walked fast, which made her feel very helpless.
As a premature infant who was not full-term, her biological mother died in childbirth when she was just born. Not long after, her grandfather also died unexpectedly, leaving her alone in a house in a small town, relying solely on her wet nurse to raise her. Unfortunately, Her wet nurse also died of illness when she was seven years old, leaving her completely alone.
She was unpopular and unpopular. Even though she was the eldest daughter of the Ministry of Rites, the servants did not accept her. Coupled with the secret care of her stepmother Li, her life was even more difficult. She was destined to live and grow up. It's pity, but even this can't change the delicate nature of her body. In addition, she has not been nursed back to health since birth, so she has been sick for more than ten years. Whenever the weather changes, she will get sick.
She knew these things after receiving the memory of the original owner. Who would have thought that in the previous life, a master who was born in an ancient martial arts family and had the best poison skills in the world would one day cross over into the body of such a weak person.
But she is not a person who accepts her fate. In her last life, she was able to survive the hell-like training in her family, and finally relied on her poisonous skills to counterattack her family. So she will not succumb to fate in this life either!
"Master, be careful." Zhuxuan stared at Xia Luotong, who was tremblingly crawling down the ladder, feeling extremely nervous.
At this time, Xia Luotong had no intention of replying. She was trying hard to control her trembling hands and feet to climb down, so as not to be disabled before she started.
Today is the seventh day that Xia Luotong married into the palace, and she finally got out of the palace by climbing the wall.
Tingyuxuan's location was very remote. In the past two days, Zhuxuan used food boxes in the large kitchen as a cover to conduct secret investigations and roughly figured out the surrounding situation.
There is a small forest on the other side of the backyard wall of Tingyuxuan. As long as you pass through the small forest, you will reach the back wall of the palace. There is a trail beside the back wall. On weekdays, guards will patrol regularly. Zhuxuan is squatting in this forest. For two days, I remembered the patrol time of the guards.
When everything was ready, the master and servant used their homemade ladders to climb over the back wall of Tingyuxuan. After passing through the woods, they climbed over the wall again and left the palace, arriving at the quiet alley behind the palace.
On the other side of this alley is the back wall of a certain minister's mansion. Even the servants would not pass by this place on weekdays.
Finally getting his feet on the ground, Xia Luotong couldn't help but lean against the wall and pant slightly, watching Zhuxuan dismantle the bamboo ladder and hide it, and then reassemble it for use when she returns later.
She didn't expect that just climbing up two walls would be so difficult. Her body was really weak. It seemed that she needed to take a good pulse when she came back at night to see how bad it was, so she could take it easy next time. Slow recovery.
Although her medical skills are completely incomparable to poison skills, ordinary minor illnesses and recuperation are not a problem. As long as she can travel to and from the palace safely today, there will be no problem if she wants to go out to buy medicinal materials and food in the future.
When Xia Luotong walked out of the alley with the package in his arms, Manager Zhang hurriedly came to Shaoguang Pavilion and was reporting the matter to Prince An Wu Zechen.
"Your Majesty, Miss Xia and her personal maid have just climbed over the back wall of the palace and left the palace." Manager Zhang rushed over to report the incident as soon as he learned about it, but there was no trace of panic in his expression.
"Escape?" Wu Zechen's eyes flashed coldly.
"Probably not. The two of them only brought some worthless fabrics and jewelry with them. The more expensive items are still in the house." Manager Zhang answered truthfully.
"Have people follow her secretly to see who she comes into contact with, and don't alert her." Wu Zechen paused and ordered.
"yes."
"Back off."
Seeing Manager Zhang bow and leave, Wu Zechen's eyes flashed with a dark and indistinguishable light, and after a moment he looked back at the secret message in his hand.
Walking through the alleys and onto the crowded streets, the bustling capital city was beyond Xia Luotong's expectation.
The Great Zhou Dynasty has gone through several generations, and under the hard work of several emperors, it has become the most powerful country in the surrounding countries. As the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the capital is under the emperor's feet, and it goes without saying that the level of prosperity is high.
The spacious and clean avenue, lined with shops on both sides, and the constant flow of pedestrians, Xia Luotong even saw a foreigner with a very different appearance. They had blond hair, blue eyes, and deep facial features. They seemed to be businessmen from surrounding countries.
"Master, that should be a businessman from Poland. Poland has good relations with us, and there are many businessmen traveling between the two countries." Zhuxuan followed Xia Luotong's gaze and thought about her life experience. Xu had never seen a foreigner with such a special appearance, so he introduced him.
"Let's take a walk and take a look. This is the first time I've been out in the capital for so long. I've never even seen what the streets of the capital look like before." Xia Luotong was in high spirits and was full of curiosity about everything he looked at. " You should pay attention, if there is a suitable store, we will sell the things we brought out first to exchange for some silver. If you see a bookstore or drug store, let me know."
"Yes, Master, please wait a minute!" Just as Zhuxuan responded, she saw that her princess had already impatiently walked to the stall nearby. She quickly followed her and stared closely, for fear that she would lose her if she didn't pay attention. Well, that would be really big trouble.
