The sound of searching was not far away, and Tao Anran didn't dare to take a breath.But they are hiding in the rockery, and they will be found sooner or later.

Bai Lu and Han Lu looked at each other, and after looking at each other, Han Lu said softly, "Princess, I will lure them away. You leave from the other side, where the vegetation is lush and it is not easy to find."

Tao Anran refused without thinking, "This is too dangerous."

Han Lu went on to say: "Princess, don't worry, I run fast, they can't catch me. And now the situation is urgent, so this is the only way. The most important thing now is that you and the little Highness in your belly must be safe and sound."

After Han Lu finished speaking, she leaped out from one end of the rockery with her cat in her body.Tao Anran couldn't see what happened afterwards, but he knew that someone had discovered Han Lu.

"Who's there?"

"Quick, catch up!"

A burst of noisy footsteps went away, Bai Lu poked her head out for a look, and then supported Tao Anran to sneak out from the other side of the rockery.

The night gave them the best protection, and the two walked in the shadows and remote places as much as possible.But Tao Anran was the one who was about to give birth, and he couldn't walk fast with his stomach full.Moreover, he has not eaten since he entered the palace, breaking the usual rule of eating less and more meals, and he has fainted dizziness and hypoglycemia.

But now that the situation is critical, he can only grit his teeth and persist.If he is caught by King Liang's men, he will become a bargaining chip to threaten Xiao Jingyu, and the situation will become more serious.

The night was dark, and Tao Anran was in a panic, so he could only walk and watch with Bai Lu, trying to find a safe place to hide.At this time, the palace was heavily guarded, no palace people were seen moving around, only the sound of nearby guards searching.

Occasionally, the two of them saw a dimly lit candle in the room, and before they got close, the people in the room extinguished the candle.It seems that he doesn't want to cause trouble.Forced to ask for help, I am afraid it will be counterproductive.If the movement is a little louder, it will attract guards.

The two stopped at a corner, mainly because Tao Anran couldn't move anymore.After walking in fear for such a long time, his legs had already started to hurt, and he couldn't hold on any longer.

Tao Anran pressed his legs and said, "Bai Lu, let's take a rest first. I can't walk anymore."

Seeing this, Bai Lu quickly massaged her hands, and softly replied, "Princess, it's not safe here. Just hold on, and we'll find an empty room to hide in later."

Tao Anran looked around, but didn't see any places that met the requirements, and the voice of the guards was still not far or near behind him.

Looking at the crooked moon, Tao Anran said, "I don't know what happened to Han Lu?"

Bai Lu's hands paused, and she quickly resumed massaging. She replied, "Han Lu will be fine. Don't worry, princess."

Tao Anran did not refute, and he also hoped so.He continued, "Bai Lu, if I get caught, run away if you can."

Seeing Bai Lu looking up and wanting to refuse, Tao Anran continued: "Don't refuse in a hurry, I definitely can't run very far in my current state. Even if they are caught, they probably won't dare to do anything to me. And Now the prince may not know the situation in the palace, if you can go out, you'd better tell the prince about the situation in the palace. Let him be prepared."

Bai Lu lowered her head and replied: "Princess, there is no need to be like this. There is no reason why the master stays and the servants go first. Even if the servants die here today, you must be safe."

Tao Anran was about to persuade him again, when he suddenly heard a "boom" sound from a distance.He couldn't help but look over there, the distance was too far, and he could only see a little fire.But since they can hear the sound, it means that there is a lot of movement.

Bai Lu said excitedly: "Princess, it must be the prince who has started to attack. We just need to find a place to hide and wait for the prince to enter the palace."

Hearing this, Tao Anran couldn't help being happy.It seems that Xiao Jingyu's movements are quite fast.

However, the two of them didn't have a long time to be happy, and found that the searchers were getting closer and closer.At the moment, the two began to continue to hide.But when Tao Anran turned a corner, he accidentally made a movement, and the two were spotted immediately.

The two ran in a hurry, but the pursuers were getting closer and closer, and there was a tendency of two sides attacking at the intersection.The situation was urgent, Bai Lu pushed the princess to the side of the path where no one was around, and stood in front by herself.

Bai Lu said: "Princess, let's go, the servants will block them for a while."

Tao Anran looked at the tall and burly guards on both sides, and said anxiously: "Bai Lu, you..."

A guard on the opposite side said: "Princess, Liang Wang ordered, as long as you go with us, we will not hurt you."

Bai Lu suddenly took two steps closer, took out the guard's long knife by surprise, and swung the blade, the guard who was approaching in front fell down.

Seeing this, Tao Anran was dumbfounded.He never knew that the gentle and ladylike Bai Lu could actually know martial arts.

"Princess, let's go!"

Bai Lu's shout brought Tao Anran back to his senses. Originally, he thought Bai Lu was a weak woman, so naturally he couldn't let her face the enemy alone.But now, Tao Anran will become Bai Lu's weakness if he stays longer.So Tao Anran didn't hesitate, turned around and left quickly.

Behind him is Bai Lu heroically killing all directions, while in front of him is darkness.Tao Anran didn't know the way either, she just looked for remote places where there were few people.

Tao Anran finally stopped at the gate of a remote courtyard, leaning on the wall.Listening carefully, there was no sound of chasing soldiers coming from behind.Only then did he rest assured to take a breath.

He looked around, and the only nearby place was a courtyard in front of him.The moonlight was hazy, and he couldn't see the name of the yard clearly.But this place is remote, presumably it is not a yard where favored people live.

Tao Anran was a little dizzy, her legs trembled a little after she rested, and her stomach was still aching.He knew he was in dire need of energy.But now there is only one choice.

Tao Anran approached the courtyard door, trying to push the door open but did not.He knocked the door knocker, pricked up his ears to listen, but there was no movement inside.He knocked the door knocker again, and this time there seemed to be some movement inside.

Tao Anran hurriedly hid in the shadow beside him, ready to observe who it was.

"Who? It's late at night?"

With a mutter, a little eunuch rubbed his eyes and opened the door, but no one was seen.

"Did I hear wrong?" No one was seen, which made the little eunuch doubt himself.Then close the door again.

Tao Anran didn't see anything, so she had to wait for a while before knocking on the door knocker.

This time it was the little eunuch who came out to open the door, but he still didn't see anyone when he opened the door.He couldn't help cursing angrily, "Damn it! Why do you only hear voices but no one?"

When the little eunuch was about to close the door, he heard someone ask: "Xiao Yu, what's the matter, I saw you opened the door twice."

The little eunuch quickly replied: "Sister Xiaojuan, I obviously heard a knock on the door, but I just didn't see anyone."

Xiaojuan wondered: "Is it the wind. You fasten the door. No one will come at this time. Don't disturb the sleep of the empress and the little highness."

Tao Anran couldn't listen to what was said later, the Empress and His Highness they were talking about were Wei Cairen and Xiao Jingping.If it was Wei Cairen, Tao Anran felt that he could ask her for help.At any rate, he had saved Xiao Jingping from drowning before.

Thinking of this, Tao Anran stepped out of the shadows.Xiaoyu was about to close the door when he suddenly saw a figure approaching and was startled.When the word "ghost" was about to be blurted out, the person in front of him asked, "Is this the residence of Wei Cairen and His Highness Xiao Jingping?"

Xiao Yu didn't have time to think, and nodded directly.But he also realized that the person in front of him was not a ghost, and he seemed to know his master.

Tao Anran received an affirmative answer, and was about to enter the yard immediately, but Xiaoyu had no time to stop her.Probe looked around, quickly closed the door first, and then quickly followed.

"You, who are you? Why did you come to see my mother so late?"

Xiaoyu's voice was not low, and immediately a maid came out to check.Then a eunuch and a court lady surrounded Tao Anran.

Tao Anran was too tired to walk at all, found a chair to sit on, and said: "I am Princess Zhenbei, please pass on the information to Wei Cairen. I need her help."

The court lady Xiaojuan was shocked when she heard the words, and immediately went to the inner room to communicate.After a while, Tao Anran saw Wei Cairen came out with disheveled hair and a coat.

Tao Anran immediately said, "Wei Cairen, excuse me."

Wei Cairen was also shocked when he saw that the princess was wearing a cloak and looked haggard.She knew that Princess Zhenbei was pregnant, and based on the date calculation, it shouldn't be long before she gave birth.Why did you see the princess alone in her palace at this hour?

Wei Cairen quickly asked: "What's wrong with the princess? What happened? If you need help, just ask."

Tao Anran saw that Wei Cairen's expression was normal, as if he didn't know what happened, so he breathed a sigh of relief.Presumably because of the remote location here, she is usually not taken seriously.So I don't know about such a big event as the palace change.

Tao Anran smiled wryly and said, "Let's talk about what happened later, can Wei Cairen provide some food now? I haven't eaten since noon. I really can't bear it."

Wei Cairen did not expect the princess to make such a request.Although she was puzzled, she still asked people to take out the pastries and preserves, and poured a cup of hot tea.Then she said: "Princess, I'm sorry, there are only these here for the time being, you can make some first. There is nothing in the imperial dining room now. But I still have some flour in this small kitchen. I'll get you a bowl of noodles."

Tao Anran ate a piece of pastry and drank a sip of hot tea, feeling much better immediately.Hearing this, he quickly waved his hands and said, "Don't be too busy for now. Listen to me, the situation in the palace is not good right now. Wei Cairen must also be prepared."

Immediately after Tao Anran ate and told what happened today, Wei Cairen and the eunuchs and maids around him were shocked.

The eunuch Xiaoyu couldn't help but said: "This is a big deal. Madam, what should we do?"

Wei Cairen was also terrified in her heart, she never expected such a big event to happen in the palace where she didn't know.She didn't doubt whether it was true or not, as long as she saw the embarrassment of the princess, she knew that the matter could not be false.

She said decisively to the maid: "Xiao Juan, go and wake Jing Ping up and get dressed. The palace is a bit unsafe now, and there may be chaos at any time. We must be prepared, we may run for our lives at any time."

The maid Xiaojuan immediately went to wake Xiao Jingping up.

Tao Anran saw Wei Cairen fidgeting, and comforted him: "Don't worry, I heard that there is already a fight in the imperial city. It won't take long, and everything will be over. As long as no one disturbs, we will stay here and wait until Just as long as it's over."
