Female-to-male: I live on farming
Chapter 189: Escaping from the Palace
This was a secret post that the eldest princess had left in the capital. Over the years, most of her spies and strongholds had been destroyed one after another at the hands of the former crown prince and the seventh prince.
This is one of the few and most secret strongholds she left behind.
Only after Li Nanqiao showed his identity card did he learn the specific objectives of the mission from the spy.
She needs to meet someone in the palace in a few days. This person is also the eldest princess' secret backup left in the harem. It is said that he is hiding very deeply and is about to reveal his identity for some unknown reason.
This was not a problem she had to consider. After receiving the task, she had to first confirm the pick-up location and time, and also go to the nearby area to scout in advance to be absolutely sure.
Late at night, the moon is high in the sky, and the cold moonlight is sprinkled on the ancient streets. The stone road is glowing with a faint luster. The shops on the street have long been closed, and only a few lanterns are swaying gently in the breeze, revealing a faint light.
Li Nanqiao was dressed in black, pretending to be a man. She was tall, taller than the average man, so it was not difficult for her to pretend to be a man.
She and a few others hid in a narrow alley. Her dark clothes made her blend into the night. Her deep black eyes stared at the palace gate in front of them.
She didn't know that there was a scene of chaos within the palace wall not far from her.
Although Emperor Mingde was in a coma for most of the twelve hours a day and was awake for very little time, his vital signs remained stable, and the imperial physicians in the imperial physician's office took turns on duty.
However, tonight, when the imperial physician on duty was feeding Emperor Mingde medicine as usual, the emperor suddenly coughed up blood, his pulse was extremely disordered, and his physical condition was rapidly deteriorating.
This news was like a bombshell, causing an uproar.
Concubine Yue immediately blocked the news, and the Seventh Prince Zhao Yu summoned all the doctors in the Imperial Hospital to consult with Emperor Mingde. For a while, the palace was in chaos.
Concubine Yue had a gloomy face and lowered her voice to ask Zhao Yu: "What's going on? Didn't you say that His Majesty could only be put to sleep? Why are you suddenly coughing up blood?"
"I don't know either."
Zhao Yu was also confused. When he poisoned his father, he was sure that the poison would only make him sleepy. The sudden worsening of the condition was beyond his expectation.
He didn't care about his father's life or death, but this was too sudden and obviously disrupted his plans.
Fearing that Emperor Mingde would suddenly pass away, the mother and son stayed firmly in the emperor's bedroom, even blocking any news and only allowing their trusted subordinates to enter the palace.
Neither of the two people, who were in a state of unrest, noticed that an inconspicuous eunuch had taken advantage of the chaos to sneak out of the palace at the palace gate.
Only after the guards at the palace gate could no longer be seen did Li Weirou gradually relax her body. She touched the hard thing in her arms and felt a lot more at ease.
Just as she was about to find a place to change out of her conspicuous clothes and passed by a dark and narrow alley, an arm suddenly reached out and pulled her in.
Before she could even scream, a bony hand covered her mouth and whispered in her ear, "Don't scream! Is your last name Li?"
Li Weirou blinked, understood, gave up resisting, and nodded imperceptibly.
Seeing that she had calmed down, Li Nanqiao quickly let go of her hand and stepped back two steps, bowing and whispering, "I am Li Nanqiao, the commander of the Phoenix Feather Guard under the command of the Princess, and I am here to meet you on the orders of Your Highness."
Li Weirou felt that she was too feminine when she first heard her speak, but it turned out that she was really a woman. And the people next to her were mostly women, so she didn't know when Jinyang started to allow women to join the army.
And judging from her official position, she seems to be Jinyang's confidant, and she secretly cares for Jinyang.
His thoughts turned, his face remained calm, and he said hurriedly: "In that case, let's leave here first."
Although this place is hidden, it is still too close to the imperial palace.
Li Nanqiao also knew that it was not suitable to stay here for long, so he hurriedly took her to a place where they were staying in the capital. It was already late at night, and there were basically no people on the street. They walked along the wall and finally entered a two-story house after turning countless corners.
They were walking in the dark, and it was not until they entered the house and were illuminated by the lights that Li Weirou was finally able to see Li Nanqiao's appearance clearly.
His features can only be described as delicate, but he is tall and straight. I don't know if it's because he served in the army, but there is a bit of heroic spirit between his features.
At this time, he was arranging his men to keep watch in a serious manner. After the arrangements were completed, he walked up to her and said, "Miss Li, please rest tonight. We will find a way to leave the city in the next two days."
"That's good. We need to get out of the city as soon as possible. The palace was in chaos tonight so no one noticed my disappearance. Once they notice, I'm afraid the city will be under martial law." At this point, she suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, the address and name I gave you before, have you already hidden the person?"
"We have hidden him in a secret place, don't worry young lady." Li Nanqiao explained seriously, "He will leave the city with us when the time comes."
Li Weirou took a quick look around the room after entering. It was just an ordinary guest room with a few new clothes piled on the bed.
It was obviously for her to change clothes. Although the young commander looked stupid, he was actually quite attentive.
Sitting on the bed, Li Weirou took out the thing she had hidden in her arms after ensuring it was safe. The thing was wrapped tightly in brown paper. This was what she had obtained after many investigations in the palace over the past few days.
These things are too important. Before seeing Jinyang, no one can fully believe them, nor can anyone else know them.
She took off her eunuch clothes and simply washed off the disguise on her face with warm water in the basin, revealing her original charming and passionate face. Her appearance was too conspicuous, and if she hadn't deliberately dressed up, she would not even be able to pass the guards at the palace gate.
All her sufferings were caused by this appearance, but she still relied on this appearance to take revenge. It was really a matter of time and fate.
Just as she was staring at the bronze mirror in a daze, someone knocked on her door.
"Girl, are you asleep? I brought you some food."
Oh, it’s that little commander.
Li Nanqiao was holding the dinner plate in his left hand. Seeing that no one answered, he bent his fingers on his right hand and was about to knock on the door again when the door creaked open by Li Weirou.
She lowered her eyes and looked, her dark pupils dilated unconsciously.
When she first saw Li Weirou, especially when she was holding her down and not letting her speak, she only felt that her body was very delicate and her face was extremely ordinary. But now looking at her again, she had a delicate nose and red lips like dripping cherries.
After changing into the dress, her exposed skin was as smooth as ice and snow, especially her pair of bright eyes, which were captivating, charming, affectionate and gentle.
She smiled at her.
