The emperor appointed his mother as the second-rank imperial wife, and the moment when the emperor ordered her to die has come.

I wore sackcloth and mourned my mother for three days, but in the end I had to send her away.

The mighty funeral procession came out from Xie Mansion and went straight to the outside of the city.The imperial decree originally prevented me from leaving the city, but I threatened to die and threatened with the power of Nanshan Jun, forcing the guards to let me go.

Presumably Li Zhenrui had already received the news and did not stop him afterwards.

After returning from the funeral, I went to the White Horse Temple. Due to my physical discomfort, I could only rest here temporarily.

The mighty funeral procession had already left, but the guards of the imperial city surrounded the entire White Horse Temple tightly, and there were reports for every entry and exit.

Dieyi couldn't help sticking out her tongue, and smiled lightly at me, "The emperor is too solemn, even a fly can't escape if it's surrounded like this."

I couldn't help but nodded and said, "It seems that the emperor has already played the unfinished chess that day."

Although Dieyi was surprised, she didn't make any fuss, and only asked softly in my ear, "Then how do you plan to deal with it, sir?"

"Soldiers come to block the water and cover it with soil, there is always a solution." I said lightly.

At night, a pregnant woman with a big belly and extremely ugly appearance staggered to the White Horse Temple with the help of a servant.

Pregnant women may be about to give birth. After a long day of driving, they finally arrived at the White Horse Temple and wanted to rest, but were blocked by the guards stationed there.

During the dispute, the pregnant woman was bleeding heavily and her life was in danger.

At this moment, being seen by the benevolent doctor Mu Taiyi, he rescued him into the White Horse Temple.

The pregnant woman struggled in pain in the room for a long time before finally getting better. The child was barely kept, but it could be born at any time.

In order to thank the pregnant woman for saving her life, she came here to thank Dr. Mu and me.

Avoiding the numerous guards, I finally entered my room. I signaled Dieyi to pay attention to the movement outside, and saw that the person who came quickly helped him to kneel down.

"Wuhuan, thank you for your hard work." I smiled at him.

The legendary Xie Wuhuan took off his mask and showed a rare smile when he saw me, "I haven't seen you for many years, how is your son?"

"Okay," I nodded, "seeing you now, I really feel that time flies!"

Wuhuan was originally named Cheng Shaozhi.

When he first met Wuhuan, he was still a childish boy. Because his family was convicted, he was demoted to be an official slave.

When he first came, he was so stubborn that he ran away again and again, and then was mercilessly captured by Xunhuanlou, and finally stayed willingly, becoming another me: Xie Wuhuan.

"That's right, it was like yesterday when we parted with the young master, but I didn't expect the young master to become like this." He looked at my current figure and stood there for a long time, and it took a long time before he recovered his original calmness.

"No matter what happens, I'm still me." I smiled, "From now on, Xie Wuhuan is back."

"Yes, young master. Everything has been arranged." Cheng Shaozhi lowered his head and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"it is good."

The planning of these days finally kicked off tonight.

In the bedroom, Cheng Shaozhi and I switched identities, because we are very similar in shape, so I can't tell the real from the fake for a moment.

After my careful disguise, at this moment, I am dressed in coarse clothes, with a big belly and a horrified face. I have completely lost the clean and refined appearance of Mr. Nanshan.

Dressed up for Dieyi again, looked at each other with Cheng Shaozhi, and after confirming that there was nothing more to be suspected, I left the dormitory and went down the mountain with Dieyi.

After many guards, Dieyi and I left the White Horse Temple in full view.

But he hadn't gone far when he was stopped by Huo Qing who came back from patrol.

Perhaps Li Zhenrui had expected it a long time ago, and actually sent Huo Qing to follow me. These few days, he could hardly leave me. Even now, even in the middle of the night, he is still patrolling.

"Who?" Huo Qing shouted, and came over with a torch, illuminating the faces of Dieyi and me.

Huo Qing glanced at me, and immediately turned his eyes away. He must have been frightened by my appearance at the moment, but his gaze stayed on Dieyi for a long time, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"My lord, what's the matter?" I asked in a low voice.

Huo Qing walked around Dieyi, "I think this girl looks familiar."

"My lord thinks that this girl from my family looks like the maid of the nobleman in the temple, right? My family also thinks she looks very similar after seeing it." I bowed my head and replied.

Huo Qing turned his gaze back and asked me, "Where are you going so late?"

I took a step back and distanced myself from him, "My family was in a hurry to go back to give birth. If there is no Bodhisattva to save me today, I'm afraid my life will be lost."

"Isn't it safe for the two of you to go back this late at night?" Huo Qing asked.

I waved my hand, "It's okay, this face of my family is safe wherever I go."

Huo Qing smiled, and the guards around him couldn't help laughing too.

While we were talking, "I", "Dieyi" and Doctor Mu walked out of the gate of the temple in the distance.

Seeing that I hadn't left yet, "I" at the door coughed and said weakly, "Little lady, be careful on the road at such a late hour!"

I turned around and bowed to "me", "Thank you for your kindness in saving me. I didn't want to disturb you, but I didn't expect to disturb you. You are not feeling well, so let's go back and rest earlier."

Mu Bin next to "me" also persuaded, "Your Majesty, it's getting dark, let's go to bed early."

"I" nodded, asked Mu Bin to give me a ride, and then went into the temple again under Die Yi's persuasion.

When Huo Qing looked at Dieyi again, he finally no longer had doubts, and left after giving us a few words.

Mu Bin accompanied me down the mountain, and the journey was unimpeded, and I was never blocked again.

At the foot of the mountain, I stopped and said goodbye to Mu Bin.

"Xiaoxi, don't know when we will see you again today." Mu Bin took my hand and refused to let go.

The reluctance in his eyes was clear, but I could only break free from his hand, handed a letter to Mu Bin, and said solemnly, "Brother Mu, remember to be careful when you go back and follow the plan."

Mu Bin nodded.

I handed him another handwritten letter, "Take out this letter at a critical moment, and it will save your life."

Mu Bin wrote the letter, with tears in his eyes, and said reluctantly, "Xiaoxi, you have to cherish yourself, and you must protect yourself."

"Ah."

Although all arrangements have been made, I can't take into account everyone's back road.

When Li Zhenrui finds out that I'm missing, that's when the Dong Chuang incident happens, and Mu Bin will be in trouble at that time.But right now I can't let Mu Bin leave with me, otherwise Huo Qing will definitely find out, so Mu Bin can only stay in the temple to buy time for me.

But even so, I knew Cheng Shaozhi wouldn't last long, Li Zhenrui sent Huo Qing to follow me not only to protect me, but also to closely monitor me.After a long time, Huo Qing will definitely find something strange, so Cheng Shaozhi is just buying time for me, instead of pretending to be a constant, if the time is right, he will retreat unscathed.

After bidding farewell to Mu Bin, I got into the carriage that was hidden in the dense forest and waited early in the morning.

The four feet of the carriage were tied with strips of cloth, and it walked quietly, and quickly drove away from the White Horse Temple under the cover of night.

Now the real crisis is about to begin. Although I am very tired, I dare not relax for a moment.

A few hours after we drove away from the foot of the mountain, a fire broke out in the White Horse Temple, and there was a sudden chaos.

At this time, Dieyi and I have re-entered Jinling City.

"My lord, we left the city so hard, why do we have to go back?" Dieyi looked at me puzzled.

I did not disclose all my plans to Dieyi, the only person who really knew my plans was Cheng Shaozhi, and even Mu Bin only knew one thing but not the other.

"Soldiers are deceitful. When the emperor received the notification and knew that the White Horse Temple was on fire, he probably wouldn't think it was an accident. So even if I left a broken body in the temple, he would not believe that I was buried in the sea of ​​fire. He will definitely send People chase."

"But the first thing he thought of was that I would escape Jinling City, so he would chase outside the city first and seal the city at the same time. So as long as we enter the city gate before the city is sealed, we will be safe for the time being."

Dieyi suddenly realized, but said doubtfully, "But once the city gate is really sealed, we may never be able to get out again."

I smiled slightly and said, "I didn't intend to leave the city at all. Even if they found my trace, they would only think that I was leaving Jinling, but in fact, I entered the city quietly."

Dieyi couldn't help admiring, "Young master is very cunning, so even if the emperor sends many people to chase him, he won't be able to catch up with him."

"No." I shook my head, "Your Majesty will track him down. Even if the cunning rabbit has three caves, let alone me."

"What do you mean by this son?"

"When the emperor goes out of the city to pursue her, he will find a pregnant woman heading straight for Xiqin and Beiliang, but even if he catches this pregnant woman, he won't be able to find the person he is really looking for." I smiled confidently.

Dieyi clapped her hands fiercely, "Then the emperor won't focus his attention on the city. Besides, West Qin and Beiliang are not the land of Daxia, so the emperor can't catch them if he wants to. It's really a good place to escape."

I smiled in admiration at Dieyi's analysis.

I didn't escape from Jinling immediately. No matter how I hide, Li Zhenrui's thorough investigation will definitely find me. Therefore, I can only use dangerous tactics, so that I can obtain real and eternal freedom.

While speaking, a heart-piercing pain hit my abdomen, which almost made me faint.

Stretching out my hand, I found a few drops of bright red blood. I hurriedly took a birth-preserving pill that Mu Bin specially made for me before we parted, and finally calmed down the fetal breath.

Thinking of the dangers of this crime, a trace of melancholy flashed through my heart.

In order to deceive others, I still dressed in women's clothes in the city, and Dieyi dressed up as my younger sister. The two of them said that they came from the countryside to visit their husband who was an official in the city.Because I drove all night and lost all my money, I had to find a family to stay.

We stayed with a family who ran a private school.There are many children in this family. Seeing that I had a baby in my womb, they showed kindness and finally agreed to stay with us for a few days after our pleading.

I can't go back to Xie's house, and I can't go to Misty Pavilion, Li Zhenrui knows these things, and going back will mean death.Although there are many acquaintances in Jinling City, I couldn't find any of them.

The stranger you are, the safer you are.

Before dawn, the entire Jinling City was put on alert. Squads of forbidden troops and guards were walking in the streets and alleys, looking for people with drawing papers.

Mr. Private School held the drawing paper and hesitated to speak. He looked at me and finally sighed, "It's a good thing this lady looks good... otherwise I'm afraid I'll be in trouble."

"May I ask what happened, sir?" I asked hoarsely.

"Hey... I heard that His Majesty's Mr. Nanshan was hijacked in the White Horse Temple. His Majesty was furious and was looking for the robbers everywhere." Mr. Private School shook his head and sighed.

"So that's how it is." I suddenly realized, and then bowed to Mr. Private School, "I would like to thank Mr. for taking care of me for staying here."

"Where is that, Madam, you are being polite. I am so ashamed to let you part with your master's calligraphy." Mr. Private School took the calligraphy I gave him happily and reluctantly put it down.

"The master's calligraphy is naturally given to someone who is destined, as long as you don't dislike it."

While we were talking, Dieyi hurried in, "Grand... madam, there are really more and more people outside."

"Yeah, I'm afraid it's been like this these days." I smiled lightly.

Dieyi winked at me nervously, I understood, nodded to the private school teacher, and went into the room to rest.

"What's the matter, flustered." I couldn't help asking after entering the room.

"My lord, I just talked to the beggar on the street according to your instructions. He told me that since the White Horse Temple was on fire overnight, the guards have divided into two groups, one is chasing south, and the other is directly searching Jinling. the city."

When I heard it, I was also shocked by Li Zhenrui's meticulousness and courage. He actually saw through all my three false moves.

"Your Majesty, I don't understand. Our people are heading towards West Qin and Beiliang. Even if the emperor is suspicious, he should pursue them from three sides at the same time. How could he only chase the south?" Die Yi opened her eyes wide, puzzled looking at me.

"Because he is the emperor." I couldn't help but smile wryly, "so he is the emperor."

Dieyi was puzzled because of this sentence, so I said, "The emperor knows that I am setting up a suspicious formation, and the purpose is to disperse his troops. If there are fewer troops, the chance of my escape will increase. , so he chose the two most likely paths."

"Then why did the emperor choose the south with the least possibility? The south is the land of our Xia Dynasty. If you really want to escape, you will naturally flee to a place beyond the emperor's control, to other countries!" Can't help asking.

I sighed, this is exactly my helplessness, a pregnant woman who is about to give birth in September, how could it be possible to go to another country through mountains and rivers?Needless to say, the journey will be difficult, whether you will be able to enter other countries, and whether you will encounter accidents on the way, these are all unknowns.

Li Zhenrui knew that I was cautious by nature and would not do anything uncertain, so he ruled out Xiqin and Beiliang first.On the other hand, the mountains and rivers in the south are beautiful, beautiful, and easy to hide. It is a good place to raise babies and give birth.

I told Dieyi my guess, and Dieyi couldn't help sighing after hearing it, "This is indeed a place that the young master would choose...It's a pity that the young master chose to enter the city in the end."

"That's right, it's precisely because I didn't intend to go to the south in the first place, so I deliberately left out the south to make him suspicious. If I have arranged people in all three directions, then he will only concentrate his forces on Jinling."

In this round, I narrowly won half of the game after losing two pieces, which is still a loss.

But Dieyi looked quite proud, "Sir, don't say that, I think you are already amazing, just choosing the escape route involves so many detours, and ordinary people really can't do it."

"It also depends on who the opponent is. The emperor is resourceful and good at controlling soldiers. I have to deal with it carefully with 12 points of energy. Step by step. This is what I said when the truth is false, and the false is true!" I sighed .

Li Zhenrui is good at observing people's hearts and knows what path I will choose, so what I have to do is to do the opposite.The reason why I didn't lose the game against him for a while is because we knew each other's next path, so after several rounds, there was still no winner.

However, Li Zhenrui is indeed stronger than I imagined. I was actually inferior in this round. I only dispersed half of his troops. Turned around.

Caressing my towering belly, I couldn't help but smile wryly. In order to confuse Li Zhenrui, I put up so many doubts and tossed so hard. I just hope that it won't affect the future production.

Taking advantage of these few days of rest, I re-arranged my forces in Jinling City.

Li Zhenrui dominates everything in the city, forcing me to use all means to deal with him.

But I can't stay in Jinling for a long time, it will be more dangerous if I stay for one more day, I'm just waiting for the best time to leave.

Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.
