Jia Min's Counterattack

At the gate of the palace, Jia Min and Princess Jiayue got into Princess Jiayue's carriage together, she held Princess Jiayue's hand and said gratefully: "Thank you for coming to help me out today!"

"You and my sister, it's just a little effort, so why bother to thank you!" Princess Jiayue shook her head and said, "But I think the Empress seems to have a lot of complaints about you! Did you do anything to offend her?"

"It's hard to say! You'd better not know about these things!"

"Okay! Since it's inconvenient to say, I won't ask you! When do you plan to return to Yangzhou?"

"Depart early tomorrow morning!"

"In such a hurry? Why don't you go all the way south with your elder brother?"

"No! Xuan'er is weak, I'm worried!"

"It's okay! I heard from my father-in-law that the emperor intends to promote Mr. Lin to be the censor of the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Maybe you should return to Beijing soon after you go back!" Princess Jiayue said with a smile.

Jia Min hasn't gotten the news yet, but Princess Jiayue's father-in-law is Mr. Zuo Xiang, so what he said should be very credible. It seems that she and Lin Ruhai have stepped up.

"No one can tell at the moment when this kind of thing is not under the imperial decree!"

"Don't worry, you can't be wrong! My father-in-law's words are still trustworthy! But the imperial decree may not be issued until the beginning of next year, so you don't have to worry, just wait a few more months!"

"Well! I know what's going on, thank you very much!" Jia Min smiled sincerely at Princess Jiayue.

"I'll ignore you no matter how polite you are!" Princess Jiayue pretended to be angry.

The two talked a few more words, and seeing that it was getting late, Jia Min got into his own carriage and went home with Princess Jiayue.

At night, as soon as Jia Min fell asleep, Anshi asked Mo Lan to wake her up. Jia Min felt that there must be something urgent, so he casually put on a cloak and came out to meet Anshi.

"What happened?" Jamie asked.

"Mother, one of our nails in the palace risked his life to send a message, saying that the emperor ordered two hundred royal guards to secretly follow our ship southward tomorrow, and will find an opportunity to kidnap you along the way!"

"Is this reliable?" Jia Min frowned.

"It's true, that nail was seriously injured when he was found, and died after he finished speaking, but before he died, he said that he hadn't been exposed, and that the injury was caused by accidentally following the emperor into the secret room and accidentally hitting a hidden weapon. Let's leave Beijing immediately!"

"I think this matter is quite weird! Your Majesty won't be so careless and just happen to be heard by our people!"

"Does the mistress suspect that this is a trap?" An Ten raised his eyebrows and asked.

"I'm just skeptical!" Jia Min said solemnly.

"Then how do we deal with it?"

After pondering for a long time, Jia Min said: "At dawn tomorrow, arrange for a secret guard to disguise myself as me and go to the pier and take a boat south! Except for Qi Lan and the others, everyone on the surface will follow the double! I'll go with the boat too! After boarding the boat, I'll let the double return to its original form, and those royal guards won't act rashly if they can't find me on the boat..."

"No way! How can a servant leave his wife behind!" Mo Lan objected before Jia Min could finish speaking.

"Only if you lure away the royal guards, will I have a chance to leave the capital safely!"

"But! My wife is pregnant, how can I do without someone to serve me?" Mo Lan still shook her head in disagreement.

"Silly girl! It's time to run for your life now, how can you care so much? Don't worry, this pregnancy has been more than four months old, and I'm in good health. If I pay attention to myself, nothing will happen! Besides, there are more than 70 people like Qi Lan and the others here?"

"Then mistress, how about sending a message to the master immediately, asking him to send someone to meet you?" An Shiye thought it would be a good idea to divide the army into two groups and let them lure most of the royal guards away. The most important thing is that Lin Yu, the son of Prince Yan, is on board, and the royal guards will never dare to harm the people on board if they can't find Jia Min.All they had to do was to hold back the royal guards as much as possible, so as to buy Jia Min more time to escape.

"Alright, send a letter to your husband as soon as possible, and ask him to arrange a boat to go to Jiao'ao, Shandong to wait for me!" Jia Min thought about leaving Daming directly from Jiao'ao, Shandong, and was no longer going back to Yangzhou.Jia Min believed that with the tacit understanding of their husband and wife for many years, Lin Ruhai should be able to understand her meaning and arrange everything that followed.

Anshi sent a letter to Lin Ruhai according to Jia Min's instructions, and overnight he found a Lin family spy who was similar in size to Jia Min and changed his appearance into Jia Min's appearance.In the early morning of the next day, Jia Min's stand-in took Lin Yu, a group of servants, and a hundred soldiers to the pier in a carriage. Not long after the Lin family's big ship left the pier, a very inconspicuous merchant ship followed.

At this time, Jia Min has not yet left the capital.She did not seek any relatives and friends to help her, but arrived at the home of Lin Jingyi and her husband Tian Xingwen in the early morning before people woke up.

The house that Lin Jingyi and the others lived in was originally owned by the Lin family, and it was lent by Jia Min to their family when Tian Xingwen went to Beijing for the exam.Later, Tian Xingwen won the Jinshi examination, and took the position of editor in the Imperial Academy, and has lived there until now.

When Jia Min went, it happened that Lin Jingyi took the child back to her hometown in Suzhou, and only Tian Xingwen and a few servants were in the house.

"Why did Grandmother Seven come to the door at this time? But what's the matter?" Tian Xingwen felt that with Jia Min's status, unless something serious happened, he wouldn't show up at this time.What's more, Jia Min was wearing a very simple cotton dress at this time, and only a wooden hairpin was used to tie a bun on his head. His face seemed to be painted with something, and it looked a little yellow, which proved even more Jia Min's unusual.

"Xingwen, I need your help with something!" In order to save time, Jia Min straight to the point said the purpose of his coming here, "I want you to take me out of the city, just send me fifty miles away !"

Tian Xingwen looked at Jia Min and hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Did my great-uncle offend some great person?"

"Yes! But I can swear that you will never be implicated. If it weren't for other relatives in the family who are easily exposed, I wouldn't come to ask you for help!"

Tian Xingwen thought for a while and said: "I can help my uncle and grandma, but if someone finds out, I can only choose to protect myself. Please forgive me!"

"Don't worry about this, I will never implicate you!" Jia Min promised.
