  Lan Zhi Xiang bit her lower lip, and after a long time, she finally suppressed her anger. She thought for a moment and said, "Chu Er Niang, I hate Chu Ke Hui, but if I didn't, I wouldn't have risked myself to help you in front of the Empress. However, now that she's safely out, we're stuck here fighting each other. In the end, who will benefit? Still Chu Ke Hui?" She softened her voice and said, "Chu Er Niang, I... today, I won't be able to leave... As long as you're willing to help me, let me leave before the palace gates close. From now on, even if you have a foothold in the palace, outside matters will also involve me. Chu Ke Hui and I are also... also sworn enemies."

  Chu Yun Ting sneered at her, "You and she are sworn enemies? I couldn't tell. Do you have a grudge against her?"

  "She... " Lan Zixiang hesitated for a moment, then made up her mind to say it all. The Second Prince of De Fu County, Zhu Yuxuan, had originally come to my house to propose marriage, but she... she snatched him away from me. And she... she was also ambiguous with the Fifth Prince of De Xing County, Zhu Yuhuan, making him unable to let her go..."

  Chu Yun Ting furrowed her brow and listened, only to ask after a long time, "Did Zhu Yue Chen go home to propose? Why didn't it work out? And what's the relationship between him and Zhu Yue Huan? I like Zhu Yue Huan, but Zhu Yue Huan has a relationship with her. Is it because of Zhu Yue Huan that they have a grudge against her, or is it because of Zhu Yue Chen?"

  Lan Zixiang gritted her teeth, and could only make the situation sound more serious and exaggerated. Zhu Yuheng was originally going to marry me, but she regretted our engagement... Now he still pines for her. And Zhu Yuhuan... Zhu Yuhuan... I am because...

  "Is it Zhu Yuhuan you like?" Chu Yun Ting asked.

  Lan Zhi Xiang was taken aback for a moment, then quickly nodded: "It's... it's really him..."

  Chu Yun Ting coldly laughed and said "Still not being three hearts and two intentions?"

  Lan Zixiang's face suddenly turned red.

  Chu Yun Ting continued to speak venomously, hating her. Probably because she had won the affection of these two men? Not to mention that both men had intentions, but they just so happened to like Chu Ke Hui, who thought herself to be as beautiful as a flower. She thought herself to be far more superior than Chu Yun Ting, but unfortunately those two men didn't even give her a glance, yet they were extremely affectionate towards Chu Yun Ting, which is why she was filled with jealousy and resentment.

  Lan Zixiang's face suddenly turned bright red, even her forehead was blood red. She was furious and her nostrils were flaring with coarse air, and she bit her lower lip tightly to prevent herself from scolding her in anger.

  Chu Yun Ting sneered and turned her head away. Lan Zhi Xiang's expression told her that she had guessed everything correctly. The reason why she was able to guess so accurately was because something similar had happened to her before. Similarly, Zhu Yu Shi, who was also crazy in love, was crazily in love with Chu Ke Hui. In order to get her, Zhu Yu Shi was ruthlessly cruel to He Qi.

  Chu Yun Ting closed her eyes and turned to look at Lan Zixuan who was still furious, "I helped you get out, can I deal with her?"

  Lan Zixiang seemed to have a hint of leaving first after hearing this, she took a few deep breaths, restrained her anger and asked "Do you want me to deal with her?"

  "In short, she wants it so much that she'll ruin it, making sure she never gets what she wants"

  "Blue nodded heavily at this point, no need to say, I don't want her to be comfortable either."

  Chu Yun Ting let out a cold snort and turned her head away, "Let's go."

  Lan Zhi Xiang was taken aback, then exclaimed with surprise "You're telling me to leave?"

  Chu Yun Ting frowned in agreement.

  Lan Zhi Xiang was about to ask, but hesitated for a moment and didn't ask after all. She turned around and hastily left.

  Chu Yun Ting looked at her back and said coldly "Selfish and self-benefiting"

  Lan Zhi Xiang didn't ask to leave, Chu Yun Ting drew a beautiful picture, also didn't care that she couldn't finish the task, from Dong Nuan Ge came out, she quickly left, afraid that Chu Yun Ting would change her mind.

  She walked along the eaves to the end, went down the stairs and onto the long corridor, only then did she let out a breath of relief. She turned her head to look back, but Chu Yunting hadn't followed her out, so she continued walking forward with ease.

  ……

  Xiao Anzi finally pulled aside her godfather, secretly pulling him to a deserted place, and anxiously told him the news that San Guniang was missing. Xiao Anzi's godfather was still calm and composed, listening quietly for a moment before speaking in a low voice: "Don't worry, since Dongnuan Pavilion is empty, she must have run out... Let's search around everywhere to see if anyone has been left behind. If it's San Guniang, we'll definitely help her escape the palace."

  Xiao Anzi hastily agreed and quickly turned around and left.

  On this side, Xiao Anzi's godfather thought for a moment and found another calm-faced eunuch. Looking at him, he was the one standing not far away in the great hall when the empress asked Chu Ke questions. Xiao Anzi's godfather whispered to this eunuch: "Godfather, San Ye Zhu Yuxu called us to see that third daughter of the Chu family, but now she is nowhere to be seen."

  Xiao Anzi's godfather's godfather furrowed his brow slightly and said "go find"

  "I've already asked Xiao Anzi to go find him."

  "Me too."

  "Is this going?"

  Grandpa's grandpa is called "great-grandfather".

  "Is it dry dad, is it dry dad?"

  "Don't panic." The old ginger is still spicy, the dry father's expression is calm and relaxed, and he said in a low voice that the emperor will go to the Western Warm Pavilion tonight. I'll take care of it, just find it and send it out of the palace safely.

  "Yes, understood"

  ……

  Chu Ke sat on the couch, holding her stomach, which was growling with hunger. She felt very embarrassed. Zhu Yi looked at her and saw that she was very hungry, so he got anxious and walked to the door to look outside, thinking of going out to find something for her to eat right away.

  The sky outside had already darkened, the corridor lights were lit up, and the stone pillar lamps in the four corners of the courtyard were also lit. Zhu Yuxuan suddenly saw a woman hastily walking from that side, but before he could see clearly who it was, he heard a shout "Halt!"

  The woman stopped, a team of guards rushed up and immediately surrounded the woman. Zhu Yuxuan still couldn't see who the woman was.

  "Is it dry?"

  "I was summoned into the palace by Empress Dowager Cixi."

  The woman's voice was heard by Zhu Yichen, and it turned out to be Lan Zixing. She actually still wanted to leave.

  "Why are you leaving now?"

  "Just when the banquet was about to disperse, I suddenly had a stomachache and could only go to the back... Only then did I scatter with everyone."

  "What's your name?"

  "Lan Zixiang, my father is Blue Ridge South Blue Earl"

  "Halt!" one of the guards said, telling another to go ahead and check if she was on today's list.

  One of the guards hastily agreed and left, while the remaining guards stood guard on the corridor, staring at Lan Zixi.

  Zhu Yichan turned around and softly called out "Ke'er".

  "Did Chu Ke hurry away?"

  "Who is outside?"

  Chu Ke looked over and saw some guards surrounding a woman, who was none other than Lan Zixiang. She immediately wondered what Lan Zixiang was doing there, trying to leave? "I personally heard the Empress ask Chu Yunting to paint her portrait, how can she leave now?"

  "Never mind that for now... If she can get out, she'll be able to get out." Zhu Yichen kept staring outside, watching these people to see if they would let her go. If they did, he'd follow behind her...

  "Really?" Chu Ke replied in a soft and excited tone.

  After a while, the imperial guard led in a eunuch, who seemed even more anxious than the guard and was hurrying along - it was Xiao Anzi.

  Ran up to the front and took a look, but it wasn't. Can't help feeling disappointed, looked down at Lan Cixi with a gloomy face and frowned, asking "Why haven't you left yet?"

  Lan Zhi hurriedly smiled and replied, "When the banquet was about to disperse, I suddenly had stomach pain, so I asked the palace maid to take me to the latrine. I came out late."

  Xiao Anzi nodded, he didn't want to make things difficult for others either, and it was more important to continue looking for Chu Sangu Niang, so he told the head of the Imperial Guard that she was Lan Zixian...

  On this side, Zhu Yichen took a look and saw that they were going to release Lan Cixi, so he hastily approached Chu Keqi's ear and quickly said two sentences. Chu Keqi hastily nodded, and had already run to the window, lifted his hand to open it, and jumped out with a whoosh. Chu Keqi followed him, stretching out her hand to give it to him, and with one exertion of strength, this side Chu Keqi also made an effort to jump outward, and also jumped out of the window.

  The two of them crouched down and walked along the wall to the back of those people. Zhu Yuxuan pushed her out, "Go."

  Chu Xue turned around and asked him in a low voice, "Going out?"

  "Don't worry, I'll go out and find it," Zhu Yichen said with a push.

  Chu Keqian quickly ran a few steps and got onto the long corridor, then stood up straight and called out to Zhixiang, "Wait for me! Wait for me, I'll go first!"

  A loud shout scared the group of people on that side, and the guards immediately rushed over with a "whoosh" sound, surrounding her again. Chu Kei hurriedly called out to me, who was also summoned by the Empress Dowager to enter the palace. I am Chu Anjie, the granddaughter of Chu Shao Shi. My second sister was left behind in the East Warm Pavilion to paint. She walked up to Lan Zhi Xiang's face, which was frozen in shock and staring blankly. "Is that right? Zhi Xiang?"

  Lan Zixiang was speechless, and Xiao Anzi, the eunuch, looked at this sudden appearance with excitement, hastily taking two steps forward before quickly stabilizing his footsteps. Before the guard could ask him anything, he walked up, pretending to examine her from head to toe, nodding and saying, "Miss Chu, you haven't gone out either?"

  Chu Xue immediately recognized that he was the eunuch guarding the entrance of Kun Ning Palace, and hurriedly smiled and nodded at him, also delaying for a while...

  Xiao Anzi turned his head and said to the tense guard, "It's really Miss Chu Sangu..." He turned his head again and asked Chu Keqin, "What's going on? Did you also get food poisoning?"

  Chu Ke nodded vigorously and said "Yes, it was me and Lan Niang who went together. I told her to wait for me, she might have been impatient and left first, I rushed over and just caught up."

  Lan Zixiang only reacted at this time, gritting her teeth with a 'click' sound, but didn't dare to say no. (If you like this work, welcome to subscribe and reward on Qidian Network, your support is my greatest motivation.)
