The princess returns strongly, and the divorced regent is busy chasing his wife
Chapter 3 The Safest Hiding Place
The woman looked at the delicious and fragrant dishes in front of her and didn't think about anything else.
I hadn't eaten for two days, so I picked up my chopsticks and started eating voraciously.
The girl from Hua Manlou watched in amazement, thinking how many days it had been since she had eaten, even a starving ghost wouldn't be like this.
After a full meal, I want to sleep. I feel so full now that I can’t describe it. I wish I could have a good sleep.
As I was thinking this, I heard a commotion outside. I thought, oh no, could it be that that bastard is chasing me? He really won't stop.
His body reacted faster than his brain. He quickly ran to the window, opened it, jumped out, and continued his escape.
"Let's go to the city gate first and see if there's any chance of getting out of the city."
Because she was wearing men's clothes, the searching soldiers didn't pay much attention to her, which made it easy for her to sneak into the city gate.
After carefully observing the situation at the city gate, I found that there were many soldiers and officers at the gate, and there were several checkpoints. People could only enter but not exit. The inspection was so strict that not even a fly could fly out.
I thought it was all over, there was no way out through the city gate.
Since I can't go out now, I have to find a safe place to hide.
I thought about it over and over but I still had no clue. In such a huge imperial capital, I didn't even have a place to hide.
He turned around and walked back. Since there was nowhere to go, he decided to go back to the Duke's Mansion.
Following the original owner's memory, they reached the Duke's Mansion in a short while.
He didn't dare to enter through the main gate, but instead jumped over the wall and went in.
He did not go to the yard where he lived before, but quietly walked towards the woodshed in the backyard.
You have to find a safe place to stay first and then wait and see what happens.
Huamanlou
Gu Ying led the team to search, and the madam was so scared that she knelt down and begged for mercy.
"Madam, let me ask you, has anyone suspicious come in?" Gu Ying asked.
The madam was trying hard to recall today's guests to see if there were any suspicious people. Suddenly, her eyes flashed.
"Reporting to the Lord, a suspicious young man came today. He spent a lot of money just to get a table of food. I heard from the girl in the room that the young man ate with great enthusiasm, and for some reason, he jumped out of the window and ran away."
"Why didn't I report it for you earlier?"
"Lead the way, I want to check the room of that person just now." said Gu Ying.
Then, under the guidance of the madam, Gu Ying went to the room where Ouyang Miaoling had just been. He saw that the window was open and there was no one in the room.
When night fell, the man who had been searching all day dragged his tired body back to the palace, walked into the study, and sat down on the chair in front of the desk.
I supported my head with both hands and rubbed my temples on both sides, feeling a severe headache.
At this time, the skeleton outside the study door reported: "Master"
"Come in," the man said.
Bone shadow entered the study.
"The master found the princess's whereabouts in Huamanlou, but our people arrived a step too late, and the princess jumped out of the window and escaped," said Gu Ying.
The man immediately perked up after hearing this, thinking, "Isn't she a lady from a wealthy family? How could she do something like jumping out of the window? This is too unbelievable."
"Could it be that the one who married into the palace is not the daughter of the Duke's Mansion, but someone else? We must go to the Duke's Mansion tomorrow and find out who that woman is?"
"Keep searching harder and make sure to find that woman for me," the man continued to order.
Bone Shadow accepted the order and said, "Yes, Master."
The woman who hid in the firewood room of the Duke's Mansion observed the situation outside without making a sound.
After watching for a long time and seeing that there was no movement, everything was normal, I let down my guard.
I've been on the run for two days and one night, and I didn't get a good night's sleep. I'm safe for now.
"Take a nap to recover your strength." Then he slowly closed his eyes.
I don’t know if it was because I was too tired, but I fell asleep in a daze as soon as I closed my eyes.
A ray of early morning sunshine sprinkled on the delicate little face. The woman rubbed her sleepy eyes and quickly glanced around.
In the woodshed, the corners of her cherry-like lips curved.
He stretched himself, stood up and walked around the woodshed. Seeing that there was no food or water, he thought, "It's safe here for now, but I might die of thirst or hunger here. I have to go out and find something to eat."
Duke Lu of the Duke's Mansion had just returned from the morning court and had not yet had a bite of breakfast when he heard the servant at the door report that the Regent had arrived. Duke Lu quickly put down his chopsticks and trotted all the way to the gate to greet the most powerful Regent of the dynasty.
Because I was hungry after a night's sleep, I followed the original owner's memory and sneaked to the kitchen at the back to find something to eat.
The kitchen is in the backyard at the other corner of the yard. To get to the kitchen, you have to go through the front yard and take a detour to the backyard.
In order to satisfy my hunger, I had to go to the kitchen to find food even at the risk of risking my life.
Just as she walked to the front yard, she saw Duke Lu leading a large group of people towards the front hall. The woman reacted quickly and found a cover to hide herself.
Looking closely, the man in the middle, wearing a dragon robe and standing tall, isn't he the Regent?
She thought, "Why did he come to the Duke's Mansion? Did he know that she was hiding there and came to catch her personally? The more she thought about it, the more scared she became. What a terrible dog man. Could he be so smart? This is too scary, too scary. It seems that the Duke's Mansion is not safe either. We have to move quickly and run."
He turned around and went back the way he came, ran to the backyard wall, and jumped over it to get out.
They would deliberately walk on secluded paths on the street, for fear of encountering searching officers and soldiers.
I don’t know if it was because the officers and soldiers were lazy or if I was lucky, but I didn’t meet any officers and soldiers along the way.
As she walked, she was thinking about where was a safe place where she could hide for a while, and when that bastard Regent relaxed his pursuit of her, she could find a chance to sneak out of the city.
Suddenly, he had an idea, as if he had thought of a brilliant plan. A sly smile appeared on his handsome little face, and he walked towards the target.
The Regent came to the front hall accompanied by the Duke of Lu. The Regent was the monarch and should sit in the main seat.
The man didn't show any courtesy to his father-in-law and walked straight to the main seat and sat down.
"Duke Lu, has your eldest daughter ever come back?" the man in the main seat spoke first.
Duke Lu was confused by the sudden question, and he quickly knelt down and replied: "To answer the regent, my daughter has not come back. Didn't she marry into the regent's mansion? Why does the prince ask this? Has my daughter caused any trouble?"
The man at the main seat took the tea from the table next to him slowly, took a sip elegantly, and then slowly said, "The princess is missing."
The confused Duke of Lu took over the man's words and asked, "What do you mean it's gone?"
At this time, Gu Ying, who was standing nearby, said, "On the night of the wedding, the princess escaped from our palace for some unknown reason. We have been searching for her for two days and two nights, but her whereabouts are still unknown."
"You said that my Ling'er is missing," Duke Lu asked in surprise.
