My Lady is well

Chapter 86 Outside the Wall

Shen Yueyao looked back at the high palace wall and couldn't help but sigh that there was a huge difference between inside and outside the wall.

The red walls surround the imperial palace, isolating it from the noise and bustle of the outside world. The people inside play power games, calculate people's hearts, and are willing to sink in this prosperous hell.

She smiled in her heart. After leaving the palace, she was like a bird out of a cage, full of vitality.

No one could threaten her life anymore.

The moon is at its zenith, there are a few stars on the horizon, the moonlight is hazy and the night is like frost.

Shen Yueyao found the most luxurious inn in the capital to stay in, ordered some signature dishes and asked the waiter to deliver them to her room.

No matter what the situation is, she will never treat herself badly.

Everything in the palace turned to ashes with the fire, including Shen Yueyao.

There is no Shen Yueyao in this world anymore.

She lay on the couch, wondering whether she should change her name.

I definitely can’t stay in the capital, where should I go?

She always carried a lot of banknotes with her when she went out, as she knew very well that money was indispensable when she was away from home.

She called the waiter over and found him to be polite and considerate, and his words were sincere.

She took out a silver note and placed it on the table, speaking softly.

"Do two things for me. First, buy a carriage and hire a driver. Second, prepare two sets of clean and new men's clothes. The remaining money will be the hard work fee for my second brother."

When the waiter heard about such a good thing, he immediately nodded and smiled.

"I will definitely prepare it for you. We have it ready at the carriage inn. As for the clothes..."

He looked at the sky outside the window and said with embarrassment: "I'm afraid the shop is closed for this matter, but..."

He paused and said, "But I should have a way. Don't worry, I will definitely do it for you."

The waiter saw that she was beautiful and had a graceful demeanor in her every move, so he thought she must have an extraordinary background and did not dare to be careless in his work.

Shen Yueyao thought about meeting Du Changxun at the palace gate today. His tone sounded like a test.

Shen Yueyao is dead, this is a fact recognized by everyone in the palace.

Having said that, she felt that he was always a potential threat.

Although I have managed to escape today, it is still better to leave the capital city, this place of trouble, as soon as possible.

She stood up and walked to the window, looking at the dim lights downstairs, which looked like winding stars in the Milky Way, and she could still hear the sounds of chanting and fighting in her ears.

She finally walked out of that beautiful hell into the bustling world of fireworks.

She smiled faintly, took out the purse from her waist, took out the strand of hair, twisted it between her fingertips, and stretched out her jade-white hands.

The north wind pulled her black hair, lingered on her fingertips for a moment, and swayed gently a few times, as if saying goodbye to her.

Shen Yueyao smiled faintly.

"Nian Nian, you are free."

She gently extended her fingertips forward, her long black hair fluttering in the wind and slowly drifting away.

I don't know whose roof it landed on, with smoke rising from the chimney, eavesdropping on the secrets under the eaves.

After a busy day, she slept particularly soundly tonight, without any disturbing dreams or worries.

The next morning she got up, bound her chest, and changed into the men's clothes prepared by the waiter. She wore no makeup on her face, but her lips were still rosy and her teeth were still white. Her pair of soft peach blossom eyes lacked some sharpness.

At first glance, he looks like a weak and frail boy.

She had never dressed like this before, and she felt it was novel and a little excited.

She packed up her things and left the inn. The coachman was already waiting at the door.

The driver saw that she was pretty and unlike those ruffians, he couldn't help but take a few more glances at her.

Upon closer inspection, he discovered that she had no Adam's apple. He understood that she must be some rich girl being naughty, and asked with a smile.

"Where are you going, sir?"

Shen Yueyao lowered her voice and said, "Yuzhou."

"okay."

After Shen Yueyao got in the car, she lifted the curtain and looked out.

The streets are bustling with people, and the corners of my mouth are raised in a comfortable arc.

She glanced at the stone wall in front of her, on which was a striking notice.

Shen Yueyao's smile suddenly froze on her face, and her heart suddenly twitched, as if a nerve was poked somewhere.

The Shen family colluded with the rebels and conspired to rebel. All of them have been arrested and will be executed in three days.

The Shen family colluded with the traitor? How is that possible?

She was confused and let down the curtain.

How could the Shen family rebel?

If Jing Ruzhang was not a foolish and incompetent emperor, how could he do such a foolish thing?

Her eyes darkened and she felt something was wrong.

Shen Yueyao frowned, her mind churning with thoughts, and she thought to herself.

"Shen Yueyao, what are you thinking about? You finally escaped, why do you care about them? They are not your real relatives, but just people in the storybook. What does their life or death have to do with you? Just take care of yourself."

The carriage slowly passed through the bustling streets. Shen Yueyao's brows were furrowed for a long time and her heart was in turmoil.

Until the carriage suddenly stopped, she leaned forward slightly, her thoughts scattered.

She drew aside the curtain and found that the carriage had arrived at the city gate without her noticing. Looking at the gate guards who were checking everyone one by one, Shen Yueyao became alert.

The driver also frowned and said, "Strange, they don't usually check us so carefully. I don't know what happened? Are they trying to catch some important criminal of the imperial court?"

Shen Yueyao felt more and more that something was wrong. When she left the palace yesterday, it was already late and the city gates were closed.

She was thinking about going out early this morning, and after hearing what the driver had just said, she had a vague feeling that Du Chang might have recognized her yesterday and told Jing Ruzhang about it.

So Jing Ruzhang deliberately let her see that notice so that she would go back on her own.

Thinking of this, her heart sank and she cursed inwardly.

This guy is so mean and mean!

She thought that since Jing Ruzhang already knew that she was not dead, it would take some effort for her to get out of the city.

If we go there now, it would be like walking into a trap.

She whispered, "I suddenly remembered that I left something at the inn. Please take me back first."

When they were almost at the inn, Shen Yueyao said to the driver with a glance in her eyes.

"Master, we are not leaving the city today. I want to walk around the city. I will get off here. You can go back to the inn first."

The driver thought that the young man had only one idea every now and then, but since he was paid, he did as he was told.

Shen Yueyao walked slowly among the crowd, and unconsciously looked up at the notices again. She knew in her heart that this was a trap for her.

She sneered in her heart, is he so sure that she will go back?

She turned her head and whispered: "I won't follow your way. At worst, I can hire someone to rob the execution ground. The Shen family has nothing but a lot of money!"

She felt depressed, knowing that robbing the execution ground was a bad idea.

Not to mention the low probability of success, even if it succeeds, the Shen family will have to flee collectively in the future.

She walked slowly forward with her head down, her thoughts in a mess, and accidentally bumped into a scroll of calligraphy and painting on a stall.

When the scroll is unfolded, it is a picture of a group of peaks. Several peaks stand side by side in the picture, with the main peak standing tall. The peaks are steep and majestic, giving people a sense of oppression. At the foot of the mountain, a small boat floats on the river, rippling alone on the river.

She couldn't help but think of her own situation. She bent down to pick up the scroll, turned around and saw a scholar in white looking at her with gentle eyes.

The man in front of me has a handsome face, white clothes as white as snow, an extraordinary temperament, and a pair of bright and clear eyes that seem to be able to see through everything.

Shen Yueyao saw that there were only seven or eight paintings scattered on his stall, each of which had a lofty concept.

Such people and such paintings are really out of place in this noisy street.

I don’t know what my fate will be tomorrow, but I just happen to have some money in my pocket.

It would be a great pity if a person died without spending all the money.

She suddenly felt kind and spoke loudly.

"Boss, I want all these paintings."
