After rebirth, I married the emperor's uncle and overthrew my ex-husband's kingdom

"Go and get all the banknotes in the house. We'll leave when it gets dark!"

Zhang Qin's heart suddenly lifted up, "Master, has the truth been exposed?"

"Not yet." Bai Lao San looked solemn, "But it can't be concealed for much longer."

"Prince Rong treats you as his own child. With Prince Rong here, you——"

Bai Laosan interrupted him urgently, "It is because of him that we have to run away quickly. If we are any later, we might lose our lives!"

He understood Prince Rong just like he understood Lu Chaorui. That person was the most profit-driven and hypocritical person.

They always say that they treat him as their own son, but if something happens, he is just an outsider who can be abandoned at any time.

It was he who ordered the plot against the Prince of Yong'an. Now that such a big thing has been caused and Prince Rong is implicated, he will also be convicted.

He was the executor. If he dies now, all the blame will be thrown on him. That old man will naturally be able to protect himself!

"Hurry up and pack up. We can escape at night when it gets dark!"

He crawled under the desk, fiddled with it for a while, and took out a small notebook the size of a palm containing a stack of secret letters.

Seeing how impatient he was, Zhang Qin couldn't help but become nervous as well.

"Subordinate, go now!"

"Be careful, don't let the madam and the others know!"

Bai Laosan was still searching in the study. Seeing that he was about to leave, he reminded him.

"Aren't you going with the Madam, the Young Master and the Young Miss?" Zhang Qin stopped and was a little stunned.

"She is Prince Rong's biological daughter, and Prince Rong will not take her life."

Bai Laosan continued to stay in the study room with various evidences that he had saved in advance.

Seeing Zhang Qin still standing there, he hurriedly urged: "What are you doing standing there? Hurry up! We did it together. If I can't survive, can you survive?!"

Zhang Qin thought of Magistrate Zhuang and hurried out of the study and went straight to the warehouse.

As the night was getting dark, the master and servant changed out of their fine clothes and quietly slipped out through a small door wearing ordinary cotton clothes with patches.

Not long after the two men left, Prince Rong's adviser arrived with a group of people at night and rushed to the prefectural government.

The housekeeper quickly sent someone to the study to inform Bai Lao San, and said with a smile: "Mr. Qu, our master is in the study. Please go to the living room first. I will go and invite our master over."

"No need, I'll just go there."

Qu Zhizhou smiled and said, "The prince has something important to tell you. Please ask everyone in the yard to leave."

"Oh, okay, okay."

Qu Zhizhou had often come here on orders from Prince Rong before. The steward was very familiar with him and agreed without much thought.

Qu Zhizhou was wearing a blue brocade robe and a blue headband on his head. He walked in with a smile on his face.

"Master Bai."

There were candles burning on the table in the study, but the chairs were empty.

Qu Zhizhou frowned slightly, he stood up and walked out, calling out to the housekeeper who was about to leave, "Your master is not in the study, send someone to invite him to the study, and tell him that the prince has something important to tell you."

The housekeeper quickly ordered someone to look for him. Hearing the noise, Lu Zhaorui brought her maid to the study room. Seeing Qu Zhizhou, she asked happily, "Mr. Qu, you're here."

Qu Zhizhou nodded at her, smiling, and said, "The prince asked me to come here to discuss something with Lord Bai."

"Then you guys discuss it. I'll have someone prepare some wine and food for you."

Lu Chaorui ordered the maid beside her to go to the big kitchen, and she and Qu Zhizhou stood outside the study door waiting for Bai Lao San.

After not seeing Bai Lao San for a long time, Qu Zhizhou frowned and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Does Lord Bai have any social engagements today?"

"No." Lu Zhaorui shook her head. "I even had someone deliver food to you in the evening."

Qu Zhizhou's expression changed, "Not good!"

Tell him to run away!

Qingzhou is Bai Laosan's territory. If he runs away, it will be like a fish into water. With the few people he brought with him, they will definitely not be found.

"Sir, what happened?"

Lu Chaorui saw that the situation was not good, and her heart suddenly tightened.

"Miss Third, it's nothing serious. The prince sent me here today to take you and your son back."

The curve of Qu Zhizhou's lips seemed to have been measured with a ruler. He smiled and comforted her, "Lord Bai should have returned to the capital early. Miss Third, you should pack up and go back to the palace with me."

Qu Zhizhou is Prince Rong's first adviser. When Prince Rong is not around, his words become Prince Rong's words.

Lu Chaorui didn't dare to say much. She turned around and went back to her own yard. She asked someone to notify her two daughters, and then asked someone to pack up quickly and follow Qu Zhizhou back to the capital.

When Prince Rong heard the news that Bai Laosan had run away, his eyes suddenly turned cold.

Qu Zhizhou said in a heavy tone, "Your Majesty, we must go find the Third Prince as soon as possible."

"Wait until night time, and come with me to the Third Prince's residence."

During the Qingming Festival, it rains heavily.

Lu Huaizhen sat in the study, holding a bowl of pitch-black medicine and drinking it while pinching his nose.

"I've been taking this medicine for almost ten years, why am I still not used to it?"

The gray-bearded butler looked at him, his lips tightly pursed and his Adam's apple rolling up and down, and quickly took a plum from the plate beside him and gave it to him.

Lu Huaizhen took the plum and put it in his mouth. The sweet and sour taste spread in his mouth, and the churning in his stomach subsided.

"Qian Bo, you should go and have a rest first."

"You can't bear it, so you need to rest early."

Qian Bo picked up the medicine bowl, limped out with a hunched back.

Compared with the exquisitely renovated courtyard next door, the mansion they stayed in looked dilapidated, with a sense of vicissitudes of life.

The huge mansion was deserted, with only a few servants moving quickly along the corridors.

Lu Huaizhen walked to the door, picked up the oil-paper umbrella that was still dripping from the corner, and walked out of the house.

He was dressed in black and wore a black mask.

The other side of the alley was brightly lit, and the melodious sound of an actor's piano could be faintly heard.

He looked up and quickened his pace by three points.

"Go this way!"

Voices were heard from the other end of the alley. Lu Huaizhen stepped forward, lightly jumped onto the wall and disappeared.

At the corner gate of the Third Prince's Mansion, two people were standing in front of the door holding oil-paper umbrellas, and another man in a blue robe and a headband raised his hand and knocked on the door.

The pot-bellied man in the crimson brocade robe raised his oil-paper umbrella. Lu Huaizhen saw his face and there was some confusion in his eyes.

Prince Rong?

Didn’t he take refuge with the prince? Why is he looking for his third nephew in the middle of the night?

Prince Rong entered the mansion and Lu Huaizhen jumped down from the wall.

The Third Prince's Mansion was heavily guarded. He did not dare to step in easily and could only stay in the dark from a distance.

Half an hour later, Prince Rong came out, with his mouth drooping and looking a little unhappy.

Lu Huaizhen threw away the oil-paper umbrella and followed them quietly.

The pitch-black night obscured his figure, and he vaguely heard Prince Rong cursing Lu Lingye for speaking so loudly.

"Master, it is more important to protect yourself first."
