Chapter 247
"Zhiwei." Li Xiaozhu frowned, still not letting go, but she also knew that there was no other way but this.

"Princess, they won't come in for an hour to check. You still have time to leave now, the servant will be fine!" Knowing that she was worried about herself, Zhiwei's eyes were red with emotion, and she pushed Li Xiaozhu to Qin Yi's side, Taking a deep look at him, "General Qin, this servant knows that you will not hurt the princess. The princess is a good person. You must protect her well!"

"En." Qin Yi responded in a low voice.

Zhiwei turned around, picked up the scissors, walked towards the candlestick, cut off the wick, and the room darkened instantly.

"Princess, General, let's go!" Zhiwei lowered his voice and said in a steady voice.

"Let's go." Qin Yi took Li Xiaozhu's arm and put it in her ear, "Don't let her down."

With tears in his eyes, Li Xiaozhu followed Qin Yi and left through the window.

The two shuttled back and forth in the palace. Although she didn't know martial arts, she was agile enough. Qin Yi led her to avoid the guards and headed out of the palace.

Li Xiaozhu pursed her lips without saying a word, the man's slight gasp was heard by her ears, she unconsciously raised her head to look at his serious appearance, as if she saw the stubborn young man who held the flowers in the imperial garden and never let go.

Under the city wall, Qin Yi embraced Li Xiaozhu's slender waist and jumped up. Li Xiaozhu exclaimed in a low voice, bit his lower lip tightly, closed his eyes subconsciously, and tightly held his neck. He landed safely. On the palace wall, the moonlight in the dark night shines on every corner of the palace.

Li Xiaozhu felt the slight coolness of the evening wind blowing across her cheeks, tentatively opened her eyes, and had a panoramic view of the scenery below. She had never seen such a palace before, and a touch of amazement flashed in her eyes.

"Gu Jingyao is waiting at the city gate, and I'll see you off in a while." Qin Yi said, his voice was pleasant and low-pitched, provocative, he still maintained the posture of hugging the girl, feeling her soft waist against his soft armor , suppressing the different look in his eyes, the darkness of the night provided him with a natural camouflage.

"Qin Yi, our engagement is beyond count, you don't have to help me like this." Li Xiaozhu bit her lip, looked into his eyes, and spoke word by word.

"Who says nothing counts."

The man snorted softly, his eyes under the mask stared straight at her.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Li Xiaozhu looked at him in confusion, not understanding what he meant. The marriage between them was just a marriage bestowed by the emperor, and there was no relationship between them.
"If there is a chance to meet again, I will tell you." Qin Yi looked away, looked up at the sky, and said softly.

With a light movement, the man landed steadily, and in the dark night, he led the girl towards the city gate.

On the other side, Gu Jingyao hid in Qin Yi's house, carefully observing the surrounding environment, the sky had already turned pale, but the two of them were still missing.

Teams of patrolling soldiers passed by the door, he frowned, and waited for a cup of tea, and if he didn't come back, he was ready to rescue him himself.

"Squeak~" The door was gently pushed open, and Gu Jingyao was on guard all over, hiding his body in the darkness again.

A petite figure walked in, followed by Qin Yi.

"Daddy?"

Li Xiaozhu's voice came from the darkness.

"Zhu'er!" Gu Jingyao came out immediately, looked at the real person in front of him, and spoke in a low voice.

"Daddy!" Li Xiaozhu wept with joy, and threw himself into the man's arms.

Gu Jingyao was also a little moved, and said in a deep voice, "Zhu'er, you have suffered."

Li Xiaozhu had tears in his eyes, and shook his head, "No, it's Zhu'er who is not good, Zhu'er has no face and sees you and mother again."

Gu Jingyao rubbed the top of her hair, "It's okay, it's all over."

"Reminiscing about the past is unnecessary, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time." Qin Yi's cold voice sounded behind him.

Gu Jingyao turned around, "Thank you, General Qin, what you said before will always be valid, General, please think carefully and take care."

Li Xiaozhu followed behind Gu Jingyao, poked his head out to look at Qin Yi who had been staring at him, and whispered, "I'm leaving, what do you do?"

"Caring about me?" Qin Yi chuckled, looking at Li Xiaozhu leisurely, completely ignoring Gu Jingyao whose face was blackened into black charcoal.

Li Xiaozhu pursed her mouth, and shrank back behind Jing Yao, well, she shouldn't have asked!
"Thank you." Li Xiaozhu said in a muffled voice.

"Okay, let's go." Qin Yi lowered his expression, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, which meant that he was in a good mood at the moment.

Under his cover, the two left the capital city smoothly. Outside the city gate, Meng Qi was already here to meet them.

"Master, miss, get in the carriage!" Monkey straightened up, saw the figures of the two, and said excitedly.

A head poked out from inside the carriage, Li Xiaozhu burst into tears when seeing this, "Mother!"

Qiu Yeli looked at the daughter in her arms, sniffed, "It's fine, come up!"

Monkey looked behind him and whispered, "Master, General Zheng."

"Let's go first." Gu Jingyao's expression darkened, and he turned and got into the carriage.

"Yes!" Meng Qi knew it in his heart, and looked towards the direction of the city gate. It was so dark that he couldn't see anything clearly, and turned to drive a carriage to the camp.

On the city wall, Qin Yi looked in the direction the two left, and took a long time to look away.

"come here."

"General!"

"Get him some water and food." Qin Yi pointed to the man who was still hanging outside the city wall, and ordered in a cold voice.

"Yes!" The soldier took the order and left.

—Inside the carriage
Qiu Yeli pulled Li Xiaozhu up and down to check her up and down, making sure that she was fine before she felt relieved.

"Mother, Zhu'er thought I would never see you and Daddy again." Li Xiaozhu threw herself into her arms and said in a muffled voice.

"How come, are you okay in the palace alone? Have you been bullied?" Qiu Yeli looked at her lovingly. Even though she did something wrong at the beginning, she cared more than blamed her.

Li Xiaozhu shook his head, "No one bullies Zhu'er."

Qiu Yeli smiled lightly, rubbed the top of her hair, and said with a smile, "Mother knows that Zhu'er has always been smart!"

Li Xiaozhu scratched his head and raised his smiling face. Now he feels real. It’s just Zhiwei and Qin Yi. If Gu Jingcheng finds out that he’s gone, he’ll be furious. She’s the one who hurt them.
Seeing her gloomy expression, Li Xiaozhu turned to look at Gu Jingyao, "Is the process going well? How is Zheng Chengzhuo?"

Gu Jingyao pursed his lips, Li Xiaozhu also lowered his head, "Qin Yi spilled Zhu'er, General Zheng hasn't rescued yet."

There are too many guards at the city gate, and it will be impossible to rescue people by force. If there is no Qin Yi, he is ready to fight to the death.

"Qin Yi? The commander of the imperial army?" Qiu Yeli slightly opened his eyes wide, and looked at Qiu Yeli for proof, also a little strange, how could he help them save people if he was a member of Gu Jingcheng?

"Well, he asked us to take good care of Zhu'er." Gu Jingyao said lightly, and Qiu Yeli immediately understood.
