Before the gate of the palace was locked, people from the shop passed the news into the palace - they all said that they couldn't find the person in the painting after searching for a day.

Aunt Liufang led the people to Princess Longyi's fief, but it would take three days to go back and forth, plus the effort it would take to search for the princess's mansion, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to come back within four or five days.

Wan Yu had been looking forward to seeing Yao Xi before nightfall, but at night, she was still the only one in the deserted warm pavilion.

She was fed some porridge by Emperor Ming Cheng in the morning, but it was useless for lunch and dinner.I don't feel hungry at all, it's not my stomach but my heart that feels empty.Wan Yu felt much less anxious after knowing that Yao Xi was fine, but her longing became more and more intense as time went by. After careful calculation, Yao Xi had only left for a day.

But she was going crazy.

Wan Yu thought she was strong enough to handle things.Even she felt uncomfortable like this, with that girl Yao Xi's brittle nature, the life away from her must be extremely tormented.

Yao Xi slept all the way in the carriage during the day, and at night after taking a shower, he lay on the bed in the guest room and was so awake that he couldn't fall asleep.The second thing is not to be sleepy. The key is that the stomach is uncomfortable, and it is not pleasant to sit, lie, or lie down.

The meal just now was the best, fullest and most comfortable meal she ate after time travelling.He ate poorly at the Sun's house, ate anxiously at the Siyuan Bureau, and terribly ate at the empress's side.If she didn't have the empress dowager in her heart and was eager to return to the palace, the eldest princess's mansion would be heaven.

Yao Xi, who didn't feel sleepy at all, was lying on the bed, holding the brochure given to her by Aunt Xianqian and flipping through it page by page.

Aunt Xianqian had a very detailed memory, and when her likes and dislikes changed, she wrote them down.Yao Xi looked at the booklet in his hand, feeling like he was cheating.It takes a long time to get along and work hard to understand a person, but she easily understood so many things about the empress.

Thinking of this, Yao Xi suddenly closed the booklet in horror.She wants to slowly learn about everything about the empress by herself, not through other people's mouths.

To be honest, there are so many things that the empress does not like!

But what does it matter?It is enough for the empress to like her.Yao Xi turned over, hugged the booklet into his arms, stared at the deepening night outside the window and stared blankly for a while.She was thinking - it would be great if the empress could wake up and see her tomorrow morning!

Thinking of this, Yao Xiteng sat up.

How about stealing a carriage and running away in the dead of night?First drive the carriage to any corner to hide, wait until dawn, and then go to a crowded place to ask the direction back to the palace.The eldest princess's mansion is located in a remote place, there are no people around, she slept in the carriage all the way when she came, and she would not know the direction back to the palace unless someone showed the way.The most terrible thing is that she is penniless, and it will take a day or two to return to the palace. She can't stop eating and drinking all the time, can she?

So I had to steal some dry food to take on the road.

Yao Xi looked around the guest room, there were plates of snacks on the table, and a bamboo plate of fresh fruits.

That's enough!She took out a piece of clean cloth from the cabinet as a furoshiki, put all the food in it, and opened the door carefully.

"Eh..." The moment Yao Xi pushed open the door, his eyes met the elder sister of the court lady who was embroidering outside the guest room.

"Where is the father-in-law going with the things in his arms?" The maid put down the sewing basket in her hand, picked up the iron chain that Yao Xi was familiar with from the ground and said with a smile: "Isn't it because you want to go back to the palace?"

"No..." Yao Xi quickly closed the door in embarrassment.The voice of the elder sister of the maid came from outside the door: "Elder-in-law, don't cause us trouble, and live at home with peace of mind."

Yao Xi couldn't get away, so he had no choice but to fall asleep indiscriminately.She woke up several times during the night, all because of the pattering rain outside the window.

After a few sleeps and waking up, Yao Xi went outside to listen to the rain. It was just dawn, and the people in the house hadn't gotten up yet.There are really two completely different rhythms of life in Princess Longyi's mansion and in the palace. There are many rules in the palace, and the palace people sleep later than dogs and wake up earlier than chickens.And everything here is lazy and leisurely, and Miss Biao is a very gentle person.

Yao Xi looked at the drizzle in the morning for a while, and always felt that something was wrong.She thought about it carefully, her eyes wandering to the door.

The elder sister of the palace lady fell asleep on the recliner, perhaps because she felt that the night rain was cold, she simply covered her head with a quilt and fell asleep.

The person guarding her fell asleep, and the rest of the house hadn't woken up yet.What a godsend!

Yao Xi went back to the room lightly, picked up the baggage he packed last night, rushed into the rain, and ran towards the stable.

Under the shed next to the stables were carriages, large and small, ornate and modest.Yao Xi was standing in the rain, with a horse on her right and a carriage on her left. The carriage and horse were separated... She couldn't assemble a carriage at all!

The people who took care of the stables would come at any time, Yao Xi didn't care about it anymore, he put the bag of food on his shoulder, untied the rein and led out the most pleasing horse.She has been riding a horse in her previous life. At that time, there was a horse farm near her grandma's house, and she often went to the horse farm to play during winter and summer vacations.

When he got the horse out and was about to mount it, Yao Xi found another serious problem—the saddle hadn't been installed yet!

She can't go back to the palace, can she?Exhausted.

There was a saddle hanging in the carriage shed, and Yao Xi could only teach herself. She tied the rein she had untied before to the post, and then hugged the saddle and coaxed the horse to start the difficult preparations for escape.

She did it!Although the saddle is crooked, it can still sit.

Yao Xi stepped onto the horse's back on the blue-lacquered copper-bottomed stirrups, held the reins with both hands, kicked the horse's belly lightly with both feet, and the horse walked slowly into the rain.

I can finally go back to my mother!Yao Xi wiped off the rainwater from his face, and ran towards the crowded place.

***

When Sun Yan woke up, she heard from the maid beside Long Yi that Yao Xi was missing.

"Should have fled back to the palace..." The maid said guiltily.She should have slept with a chair against the door, otherwise Yao Xi would wake her up if she wanted to leave. "If Yao Xi really returns to the palace, what will Her Highness Princess do to the servants?"

"It's good to go back to the palace." Sun Yan stood in the stable and said with a serious expression: "I'm most afraid of slippery roads in rainy days, and it would be bad if people accidentally fell into any valley or valley. Eunuch Yao rode away the most fierce and crazy one." A horse." She didn't say much, she directly led a horse, stepped on the horse's back gracefully, swung the whip and drove away.

"Miss Biao...Be careful of catching a cold..." When the maid raised her head again, Miss Biao had disappeared. "Order to go down, boil more hot water for preparation, and make some ginger soup."

Fortunately, it didn't rain heavily, and there weren't many people around the Princess' Mansion. Sun Yan could clearly see the hoof prints left by the crazy horse that Yao Xi was riding.She ran wildly along the trail in the rain, she didn't know when Yao Xi left, and whether she could still catch up.But the regular horseshoe prints along the road reassured her, which meant that the crazy horse hadn't gone mad yet.

"Fancy but not useful!" Yao Xi looked at the slow-moving look of the horse below him and was very anxious. If he wanted to return to the palace at the speed of a tortoise, he might have to go until next year.She chose this horse because it has long legs and broad back, shiny brown hair, good looks, and looks like the kind that runs very fast.She was wrong, this horse is simply the kind of slow person who can be anxious to death.

"Hurry up, okay?" Yao Xi didn't have a whip, so he could only kick the horse's stomach with his legs. "Uncle Ma, please, can you run?"

She was riding a horse, not a donkey or a mule, right?Yao Xi couldn't help being suspicious.

The horse seemed to be unable to understand human words, and it was still as slow as death.The rain seems to be getting bigger and bigger, but the sky is still dark, as if it will never be bright.If this goes on, she will either freeze to death or starve to death.Yao Xi became ruthless and kicked the horse's stomach forcefully.

The horse neighed, turned his head and glanced at Yao Xi who was on his back, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Yao Xi saw the horse's eyes!So penetrating!Why did she see the little flame of vengeance in a horse's eye?

As Yao Xi wished, the horse started to run, much faster than Yao Xi imagined.It's just that the horse's running posture is very strange, with its hooves raised high, as if it is running hurdles.The higher the hoof was lifted, the higher Yao Xi was bumped. Her saddle was not professionally fitted, and Yao Xi felt like she was about to fall off the horse.

The horse ran wilder and madder, Yao Xi lay on the horse's back, grabbed the rein tightly, and said in horror: "Slow down! Slow down!"

The horse still couldn't understand human words, as if suffering from mania, with two fires in its eyes, it galloped forward with Yao Xi on its back.

The saddle, which was not tied securely, loosened, and Yao Xi broke out in a cold sweat. If the saddle fell off, she would not be able to sit firmly on the slippery horseback.She reined in tightly and begged Grandpa to tell Grandma to please Uncle Ma to stop, but it was no use.

With such crazy speed, if she was thrown out, she would definitely die.Yao Xi cried out in despair, she was doomed!

Sun Yan soon saw Yao Xi speeding not far in front of her.

The horse was already mad, she vaguely heard Yao Xi's helpless cries coming intermittently.

"Drive!!!" Sun Yan swung the whip violently, trying to speed up and follow.But Yao Xi was running too fast, she could barely keep up but couldn't shorten the distance. "Drive!!!" Sun Yan whipped the whip again, the horse under her was hurt by the beating, and finally ran with all her strength.

"Eunuch Yao!" Sun Yan managed to catch up with Yao Xi, ran forward side by side with her, and said, "Let go of the rein and hand me your hand!"

Yao Xi's face was covered with rain and tears. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Miss Biao who was chasing her, but she dared not let go.She was afraid that if she let go, she would be thrown off the horse and fell to her death!

Seeing Yao Xi holding on to the reins like a life-saving straw, Sun Yan could only persuade loudly while running: "The road is narrow if you run any further, there is no way to run two horses side by side, and there is nothing I can do to save my father-in-law. Father-in-law trust me, let go of the rein, and hand me your hand!"

The saddle under his buttocks was crumbling, Yao Xi closed his eyes and let go of a hand to the cousin on the left.

She felt her hand being grabbed by someone, and then she rose up into the air, and then fell down firmly.Yao Xi narrowed her eyes timidly, and she saw herself sitting on the same horse as Miss Biao, she was sitting in front of Miss Biao, and Miss Biao's slender hands hugged her waist tightly.

That frenzied horse has run away...

Yao Xi, who came back to life, covered her face and burst into tears. She was really scared to death just now.But what about Miss Biao?How did you save this weak-looking young lady?

Yao Xi didn't know that Sun Yan had a nickname called Sun Dali when she was a child, let alone catch her who weighed dozens of catties, even a boulder weighing two hundred catties was no problem.

Seeing Yao Xi covering his face and crying like a little girl, Sun Yan couldn't help laughing.Could it be that becoming a eunuch would really destroy manhood?

After returning home, Yao Xi was still in a daze, obviously frightened.

It was almost noon after the two of them had bathed and changed their clothes. Sun Yan and Yao Xi were sitting together in the living room with a burning charcoal basin, and each of them was holding a bowl of ginger soup.

"Thank you Biao for saving my life." Yao Xi mechanically fed ginger soup into his mouth, not forgetting to thank the savior.

"Does father-in-law really want to go back to the palace that much?" Sun Yan said calmly while drinking ginger soup.It is impossible to forcefully keep a child who is willing to die just to return to the Queen Mother.It's just that cousin Longyi's worry is not unreasonable, Yao Xi is a guilty body, can the Queen Mother really be reliable? "It's not that I can't let my father-in-law go back. As long as the queen mother has the ability to come here, I can safely send my father-in-law to her."

Yao Xi raised his head lazily.Miss Biao, isn't this nonsense?If the empress finds Miss Cousin here, of course she can only let her go.

Sun Yan continued: "The empress dowager asked her father-in-law to show that she cares about you and is willing to protect you and your family. The fact that the empress dowager can come here means that she has the ability to protect you and your family."

Yao Xi raised his head in shock.She didn't expect Miss Biao to think so far for her... But how could the Empress Dowager know that she was here?

Yao Xi held the steaming ginger soup in frustration and exhaled, at this time a palace maid came into the hall and said, "Miss Biao, an aunt named Liu Fang who is beside the empress dowager came with the palace maids and eunuchs, and asked if Eunuch Yao is here? "

Sun Yan and Yao Xi looked at each other.
