An official coming from Yangzhou?!

I stood up all of a sudden and hit the table. The bowl of soup on the table immediately swayed and splashed out. Caiwei hurried over and pulled me aside: "Madam, be careful!"

As soon as she pulled me, she felt something was wrong and looked back at me: "Madam, what's wrong?"

“…”

I didn't say anything, but my mind was almost boiling like the bowl of soup that kept rippling.

An official came over from Yangzhou—

Gu Ping and Su Su, it has been a few days since they took Miaoyan to Yangzhou. Even if Pei Yuanhao, as the emperor, is not something that ordinary people can see, these few days are enough for them to send Miaoyan to him. If this is the case, will he feel something is wrong? Should he send someone to come and take a look?

If so, then—

This is my opportunity!

When I thought of this, my heart beat even harder. Caiwei had obviously felt that my breath was wrong and said carefully: "Madam, what's wrong with you? What are you thinking?"

Her shouting made me feel a little bit back to my senses.

I looked at her, then looked at the bamboo leaves outside that were constantly swaying by the wind. After thinking about it, I said, "You go out for a walk with me."

"Go out?" She was stunned for a moment: "Madam, you are not eating anymore?"

“…”

I picked up the half bowl of soup that had not yet been spilled, poured it down in one breath, and then said, "Go out for a walk with me."

As I was talking, I had already walked outside, and Caiwei had no choice but to follow me, staggering with me. The two of them walked out of the inner courtyard, but no one came up to stop me. Then I restrained my already anxious steps and walked out peacefully with her. After a while, I walked to the gate.

When the gatekeepers saw us, they hurriedly walked up: "Madam."

"Does Madam have any instructions?"

"I'm going out for a walk."

"go out?"

The people looked at each other and seemed to hesitate. One of them said, "It seems that the lady has not reported to the young master, right? In this case, the villain dares not let the wife go out."

I looked at them coldly: "What are you calling me?"

"Uh...Madam."

"I am a wife, and you still have my control over me?"

"I dare not, I dare not. But the young master gave it to me personally. If the wife wants to go out, she must obtain his consent. Otherwise, if something happens, the young people will not be able to bear it."

I frowned, and before I could imagine that they were so difficult to deal with. At this time, Caiwei, who was beside her, seemed to have seen something. She thought about it and said, "We have reported to the young master a long time ago. When the young master was having dinner in the inner courtyard, the wife told the young master, and the young master agreed."

"Oh?" said the man, "Then, why didn't we get the orders of the young master?"

"I think it's the young master who went to see the guest, so he didn't give him any instructions." Caiwei said, "If you don't believe it, you go and ask."

She said this very cleverly. The concierge must have known the officials from Yangzhou who came to visit. Pei Yuanxiu had dinner with me at noon today. They probably knew it. But now they were going to ask, so they disturbed him and the official meeting, for fear that these people would be in trouble.

Sure enough, the few of them looked at each other and didn't say anything, and they all hesitated.

I was secretly happy, but I didn't dare to show it on my face immediately. Instead, I looked at Caiwei again. She was also clever and said hurriedly: "Why, you don't believe what your wife said? Well, let's go back now and wait for the young master to arrive in the inner courtyard for a while, I will tell you how you blocked the wife's way. Let's see what the young master said then!"

After saying that, I was going to walk back with my support.

The concierge members immediately panicked and hurriedly said, "No, I don't dare."

I looked back at them and saw that they were hesitant and anxious, probably understood that Pei Yuanxiu must have explained to them that my whereabouts were their most important job. Moreover, although my status in this mansion was subtle, Pei Yuanxiu came to the inner courtyard to accompany me every day, offering delicious food and drinks, and even holding me. They probably understood that although my wife had no status in the mansion, her status was still not light in Pei Yuanxiu's heart, so of course she couldn't afford to offend me.

Seeing that the few of them were loose, I said again: "You don't have to make things difficult. Actually, I know that every time I go out, someone will follow you secretly. There are only two women, Caiwei and I. Are you still afraid that we will get lost? If you really lose it, you won't blame it on your head."

Caiwei continued, "But, after a while, the young master comes out, I'm afraid it will be blamed on you."

This time, the concierges were completely moved by us, and one of them said to me: "Since that's the case, then we will dare to ask the wife not to go far."

I smiled coldly: "Have I gone far?"

Instead of speaking, they all took a step back and made a "please" gesture respectfully to me.

Caiwei hurriedly helped me, and the two of them slowly walked out. As soon as they walked out of the door, she immediately laughed secretly. I turned to look at her, saw that her excited cheeks were red, and asked, "What's wrong?"

She smiled and said, "I've wanted to try it a long time ago, but I didn't expect it to be true. Madam, look at what I said just now, right?"

“…”

Looking at her excited smiling face, I couldn't speak for a moment. If I wanted to see this girl, this girl was probably born with a lot of heart, and these tricks that fool people and even plotted people's hearts could be understood at all. Although I still don't like her very much until now, I have to say that having such a girl around me does make me worry a lot.

I said, "You are very smart."

Her eyes bent up with a smile.

I continued, "But I hope you can use the right path."

We didn't stop along the way, and kept walking forward. She held my arm and felt my steps getting faster and faster, and even showed signs of trembling on her body. She whispered: "Madam, we're out, but where are you going?"

I glanced at her, didn't say anything, but just continued to move forward.

Although Caiwei kept helping me to walk forward, this time, her mood obviously hesitated, and even her steps became a little slower.

After a while, she looked at me again, looked around her side and made sure that no one was paying attention to us, and then said to me in a low voice: "Madam, are you going to Yangzhou?"

“…”

My steps stagnated.

Then, I turned my head and looked at her.

Looking at my sudden serious expression, she seemed to understand and quickly bit her lower lip and lowered her head.

And my heart was already moving - this girl told me that she was familiar with me, and she had always come to me in a hot mood to find me. Although I had never made any promises to her, and I hadn't even said anything more to her, she was too close to me no matter what.

just in case--

Thinking of this, my mind became colder. When I looked at this girl again, I had many thoughts and gurgled like boiling water. But before I could say anything, I saw that her face turned red and white, and she seemed cautious, but also excited, and the urge to take risks, and said to me: "Madam, are you going to go and look for the emperor?"

“…”

This time, my eyes also became cold.

Then, she heard her say softly: "I heard the people in the mansion discuss privately. They said that Miss Miaoyan is actually a princess, she is the emperor and your daughter. In fact, Madam, you were the emperor's concubine before, right?"

“…”

I looked at her coldly.

At this time, she seemed to have finally realized something, and hurriedly waved her hand at me and said, "Madam, don't misunderstand. Caiwei said this, but she just said wherever she thought about it. Caiwei was not going to cheat on her, or something, and she dared not ruin her wife's affairs."

“…”

She continued, "Madam, don't worry, I won't ruin my wife's business. I will give you any instructions to do whatever you want. Caiwei will do her best to help her."

I squinted my eyes slightly.

"You are really willing to help me?"

"Um."

"Why?"

"I, I want to follow my wife and stand up."

“…”

I stared at this girl who surprised me in a daze, and didn't know what to say for a moment, but at this time we didn't stop. We continued to move forward and arrived on the street. Suddenly, the lively shouts around us made both of us come to our senses.

I looked up and looked around.

Although there were no familiar figures in the bustling crowd, I also knew that it was not so easy for those who followed me to throw me away. Every step I took must be under their surveillance.

But this may really be my chance, and I can't just give up.

After walking for a while, we had already reached the north direction of Jinling City. The road we were walking on was the only way from Jinling Mansion to the pier. Caiwei looked around and said in a low voice: "Madam, are we going to the pier?"

I shook my head.

If I went directly to the dock, I was afraid that before I arrived, I would be stopped by those sent by Pei Yuanxiu.

The safest way now is to wait for the opportunity on the road. If you can meet the officials in Yangzhou - I guess it is very likely that it will be Wu Yanqiu. If there are a large number of guards around him, then we can take over at this time. This place is not far from the dock. Even if Pei Yuanxiu sends people to appear and the two sides confront each other, they will not catch me immediately. As long as I get some time, I can follow their boat across the river!

So, we just wandered around the road and looked at the gadgets sold by vendors on both sides, and I looked back from time to time.

After a long time, I finally heard the sound of horse hooves coming from the other end of the long street. I hurriedly turned around and saw a carriage with two horses on their faces flying from the other side of the carriage, and some guards with long swords on both sides of the carriage were following.

I could tell at a glance that it was the car of an official coming from Yangzhou!
