Traveling through ancient times: daily life on the run

Luo Yu widened his eyes.

She couldn't imagine Xiao Tao would be so determined. Could it be that she was really moved by the palace fighting dramas and some chicken soup stories from later generations that she had told her?

After talking for about half an hour, Luo Yu took out a few small silver bills from his pocket and handed them to Xiao Tao: "Take these. If you are worried about being discovered later, I hope you can use your intelligence to get away with it."

She then told Xiaotao a simple story about grafting, hoping she could understand.

After all, no one paid attention to the Qinglan Palace and no one had ever been there. Even if Concubine Ying was really dead, she would have been wrapped in a straw mat and thrown out of the palace to feed the wild animals.

When Xiaotao heard this, her eyes lit up, and she knew she might have a way to survive.

The most important thing is that she has been secretly teaching the eunuchs and palace maids how to read and do accounting since last month. These are all tricks used by Concubine Ying to let her win over everyone!

The so-called arithmetic was that Concubine Ying taught her some simple addition and subtraction, plus a multiplication table. She knew it by heart and even taught it to many eunuchs who served in front of the concubines. They were all grateful people, so someone should help her when the time comes, right?

Anyway, no matter what choice you make, it will ultimately be a dead end. It would be better to take advantage of everyone's gratitude and try to get away with it by transplanting flowers and trees. What if it succeeds?

It was a real life-or-death experience for Concubine Ying to escape from the palace, but she, a weak woman, was not afraid. Xiao Tao felt that she also had the courage.

As for Luo Yu, with the help of Xiao Tao, he stuffed all the things into a wooden box. Xiao Tao had inquired and knew that when the little princes went out hunting, there would be many palace maids following them. If the little princes were in a good mood, they would even stay in the back garden for a night, so there would be many palace maids following them with boxes in their hands. After all, all kinds of camping props would be brought with them.

After leaving Jinglong Gate, there was no idea what the scene in the back garden was like. During this period, Luo Yu could only rely on himself to escape into the mountains and forests.

The night before the little princes went out hunting.

Luo Yu relied on his experience and repeated explorations and checks over the previous month to accurately reach Jingfu Palace. Because it was the middle of midnight, all the young masters had entered sleep mode, and the palace maids and eunuchs who were on guard were not very vigilant and looked listless.

Concubine Ying has a light and flexible figure, perhaps because she used to be a maid beside the Queen, and her speed is also very good. In addition, after more than a month of running around, Luo Yu can clearly feel the physical fitness of this body increasing.

She didn't want to slip out of the palace just like that now, she had to get some benefits.

The young masters were sleeping soundly. Luo Yu stayed among the green plants for half an hour and finally noticed that a monk in the courtyard had left first. Then the only little palace maid began to doze off listlessly against the pillar in front of the door.

There were four small courtyards in Jingfu Hall, each housing one of the four talented ladies. Luo Yu sneaked into the courtyard of the leftmost lady, Qi Cairen. The young palace maid was sleeping so soundly that she was snoring softly.

The young palace maids are busy every day and also have to keep watch for their masters. It is really not easy.

Qi Cairen has been very favored recently, and the emperor has rewarded her with many good things. This is what Xiaotao told Luo Hong.

Luo Yu placed the box among the green plants. She was not sure whether the door was locked from the inside. Anyway, she never locked the door when she lived in Qinglan Palace. Because Xiao Tao was on guard outside, she could just push the door open if something happened.

In her current life, she is also a stockpiling expert who shuttles between tall buildings and deep alleys. In the doomsday, all the people are gone, and only zombies infected with the virus are stalking the tall buildings. Her daily routine is to avoid these things and stockpile supplies everywhere.

So stockpiling supplies is no big deal for her.

Just as she thought, the door was not locked. She walked in and out quietly, with many valuable objects and banknotes in her hands. A silver hairpin could easily open the door.

All the things stolen were the rewards given by the emperor to Concubine Qi. The old emperor owed Concubine Ying too much, so these things were compensation and what she deserved.

But she only took some of the inconspicuous jewelry at the back. Qi Cairen left several thousand taels of banknotes and other things in a mess, and Luo Yu took four hundred taels. She probably wouldn't settle the bill for a while.

After successfully slipping out of Jingfu Palace and passing through Wuyue Gate, Luo Yu went to the imperial kitchen and easily jumped in from the windowsill. Wow, he was so agile that he still hadn't forgotten everything.

The imperial kitchen is very large and can accommodate several tables at the same time.

Luo Yu found some food to fill his stomach and continued to work.

She got some salt, a tinderbox, and finally two flints. If she hadn't been too heavy to carry them, she would have taken the pots and pans with her. In the end, she had no choice but to stuff some leftover steamed buns and vegetable pancakes, along with a three or four pound piece of pickled meat, into a bag and take it away.

There are so many things in the imperial kitchen that no one should notice that these things are missing.

For the rest of the time, Luo Yu had to hide in a rockery cave and wait until the little princes took their people out.

In fact, after a month and a half in the palace, Luo Yu realized one thing: the ancients were very smart. Even a young palace maid like Xiao Tao knew how to find a way to have the best of both worlds and protect herself. They were born in this era just because they were unlucky, which does not mean that they were not smart.

If he really met a silly girl, Luo Hong probably wouldn't have decided so quickly to sneak out of the palace, and he might even have to kill a few people!

Luo Yu touched the dagger hidden in her sleeve. Although killing was easy, the consequences were disastrous. If she had a chance to return to the palace in the future, she had to find a way to take Xiao Tao away.

Smart people should be kept around, because the future of this world depends on the reproduction and growth of smart people.
