Lu Zheng didn't have time to pack her things, so she took a man with one hand and left quickly from the back door of Cangwu Courtyard. Before she had taken ten steps, she stopped and her eyes fell on the young man on the roof.
The young man's expression was a little solemn, and Lu Zheng's heart trembled, right?
Lu Ming, who was holding the sword, looked at Lu Zheng below, then raised his finger and pointed outside the courtyard, making a few gestures. Lu Zheng's mouth twitched, and then he turned to look at Xiao Qi.
She smiled stiffly and said, "Those who don't know better would think that His Majesty's illness is caused by your Lingyang Palace."
Xiao Qi:......
Lu Zheng raised her chin, "Lu Ming said, your home...is surrounded."
At the gate of Lingyang Prince's Mansion, the British prince Liang Hui led a group of people in aggressively, heading towards Cangwu Courtyard. There were still people guarding outside the courtyard.
Although Xiao Qi's eyes flashed with surprise when he heard Lu Zheng's words, he could not see the panic. This time, he led Lu Zheng and the two of them to Xiao Chunan's yard. As soon as they entered Xiao Chunan's yard, Xiao Qi quickly made a few gestures. .
Then several bird calls were heard in Lingyang Prince's Mansion, and then the bird calls came one after another. In an instant, all the people hiding in the dark retreated.
In the warehouse of Lingyang Prince's Mansion, the warehouse manager Lao Ge, who was chatting with You Geng, heard the chirping of birds, glanced at You Geng a few times, and then said: "I forgot to tell you, the prince asked you to go to the prince's study earlier."
You Geng was startled, "Are you going to deliver food to Miss Lu?"
"Uh, right."
"Hey, I'll go right away..."
In Cangwu Courtyard, Xiao Fuzi was startled when he heard the bird's call. Then he stopped talking to Xu Zhenghang and pretended to give in. He asked Xu Zhenghang to sit in the hall.
Xu Zhenghang snorted coldly and led the people into Cangwu Courtyard.
When Xu Zhenghang and others stepped into the courtyard, Xiao Fuzi winked at the guards at the entrance, exited the courtyard, and ran towards Xiao Chunan's courtyard. The speed of the guards shocked the guards at the entrance.
After the guards, who were a little slow to react, each used their fastest speed and disappeared through the door.
When Xu Zhenghang looked back, not to mention Xiao Fuzi's shadow, even the guards who had been blocking the entrance to Cangwu Courtyard had completely disappeared.
Xu Zhenghang was so angry that he cursed loudly and asked people to search around Cangwu Courtyard, but they could not find Xiao Qi. He only vented his anger on the remaining servants in Cangwu Courtyard.
At this moment, Liang Hui arrived with his people. When he saw Xu Zhenghang's irritable expression, Liang Hui knew that he had gained nothing and cursed in his heart.
The servants in Cangwu Courtyard all lowered their heads and dared not speak. Liang Hui searched around and stopped in front of a maid with a dark green purse hanging on her waist and embroidered with dark patterns. He raised his hand to lift the maid's chin and asked her , "Is your eldest son in the mansion?"
Hu Tao's body trembled slightly, her eyes were a little evasive, and she didn't speak.
Liang Hui smiled and said something in her ear. Hu Tao suddenly raised her eyes to look at him, and then pointed her finger in the direction of Xiao Chunan's courtyard amid the surprised eyes of all the servants.
She just heard that Lu Zheng and the others were going to the prince's yard.
"Walk!"
Hu Tao grabbed his arm in panic, her voice trembling, "My family..."
"Go home and wait."
Liang Hui raised his hand and said, "Let's go!"
Xu Zhenghang and he had always disliked each other, but at this time they had no argument and followed Liang Hui to find the person.
As soon as the person left, all the servants in Cangwu Court just looked at Hu Tao for a moment, but every look in their eyes accused her of being a traitor, leaving no one to hide.
With tears in Hu Tao's eyes, she straightened her clothes and walked out of Cangwu Courtyard with empty steps. She couldn't stay in Lingyang Palace any longer. How could someone who betrayed his master deserve to stay here?
Xiao Qi opened the door of the secret passage and motioned for Lu Zheng to go in. Lu Zheng led Meng Wanwan carefully into the dark passage. After taking a few steps, she suddenly turned back.
"My chef! Wait for me for a moment, I'll be back soon——"
Before he finished speaking, the man had already rushed out. Xiao Qi looked at his hand in the air that caught nothing. His mood was complicated and difficult to explain. The maid Xiao Fuzi didn't even remember it, but she still remembered her chef.
As expected of Lu Zheng.
As soon as Lu Zheng came out of Xiao Chunan's yard, she saw Xiao Fuzi dragging You Geng and speeding towards this side. This scene seemed familiar. Lu Zheng raised his hand to signal the two of them to hurry up, and then turned to the study room.
When Liang Hui and Xu Zhenghang led people to Xiao Chunan's courtyard, the courtyard was quiet again. There was only a guard at the entrance of the courtyard. The guard did not stop him and only said that Xiao Qi had just left.
Liang Hui led people to search around and found neither the secret passage nor Xiao Qi. He angrily asked the others to go to the street to look for Xiao Qi.
An hour later, Lu Zheng was lying on a bed in a thatched house in Ge Village outside the city. Before she could close her eyes, she heard the door of the small courtyard creak.
Several people were frightened and immediately became alert. Lu Zheng raised his hand and said, "Don't be nervous, it might be Lu Ming."
