Princess Yao Chi's voice rang out again, "It seems that there is no more now. It seems that I really want to have my cake and eat it, let's go."

The sound of a group of people's footsteps gradually faded away, and Jiang Yue did not go out to say hello.

Yao Chi is a princess, and I just met her by chance. She may not even remember me.

Moreover, she knew that she was a fugitive. If she was reported, she would be unable to escape from this place where there were royal secret guards everywhere.

Now that he saw that Princess Yao Chi was fine, Jiang Yue felt relieved.

The noise continued until the afternoon. Jiang Yue put earplugs in her ears and took a comfortable nap.

When she woke up, Xiaozhu was eating the fruit she had placed on the table.

I looked at the time and it was already six o'clock in the afternoon. The sun was setting outside.

It seems that the emperor's team will stay in Lai County for a few days. She plans to set off at night when everyone is asleep.

I told the innkeeper in advance, and he said that in order not to disturb the important people in the inn, he would open a back door for them to go out.

Concubine Liang was arranged to live in the same room with Princess Yaochi. Just after finishing her meal, Prince An came in noisily to pay his respects to Concubine Liang.

After getting up, he was about to sit on the couch. Yao Chi quickly avoided him and rolled her eyes at Prince An.

Looking at her little son covered in dust, Concubine Liang was disgusted and immediately raised her hand to stop him from coming closer.

"An'er, don't come over here! You're covered in dust and stink. Go take a shower."

When Prince An saw that he was disliked by his mother and sister, he immediately put on a crying face.

"Humph! You even despise your own son and brother. I came here to arrange an inn, and I'm exhausted from the journey. Now your mother despises me. I am heartbroken."

Concubine Liang laughed and hit him, and Princess Yaochi pushed him out, "Hurry up and wash yourself clean before coming back."

The disgust in his tone was not concealed at all, and Prince An went out hesitantly.

Jiang Yue thought about it and felt that Emperor Mingde was a good emperor. Now that the whole country was relocating, he must have encountered some big problems.

I can't help much. I can fill the water tank in the backyard with water, but with so many people, water will definitely be a problem. Even if they find water on the way, it will not be easy to store and carry it.

I guess water is very tight now, so you might as well help yourself.

People in ancient times went to bed early at night and made noise all day long. Now, the emperor and his concubines are basically all asleep.

Jiang Yue, wearing a veil and cooling clothing, looked like an old woman from a distance due to her plump figure. She sneaked towards the backyard and kitchen, filling the ten large vats in the backyard with tap water, peeking around like a thief, feeling very nervous.

I've never seen anyone doing good things like this and still be afraid of being discovered. Why should I be nervous?

On the other hand, if people knew about their own affairs, the ancients believed in ghosts and gods.

What if she thinks she is a monster, or thinks that the current disasters are caused by her, and wants to burn her as a sacrifice to the gods?

It’s better to be low-key. While draining the water, check whether your veil is properly covered and continue to observe left and right.

After the backyard was filled, he sneaked into the kitchen and continued to add water to each water tank and filled the wooden basin with water as well.

She thought she had done it perfectly. There were two people guarding the kitchen, and she wanted to crawl on the ground to flush the toilet, and she would definitely not be discovered.

Jiang Yue still underestimated the wisdom and vigilance of the ancients.

Her strange behavior in the backyard had already aroused the vigilance of the secret guards. When they saw her standing in front of the water tanks, they didn't know what she was doing.

Fearing that she was here to poison him, he was about to go up and arrest her when he was held down by Prince Rong, who was in charge of patrolling.

Prince Rong waved his hand to let the secret guards retreat, while he stood in the dark and observed Jiang Yue's every move. He was not afraid that Jiang Yue would poison him at all because the water tanks in the backyard were empty.

The night was too dark. Although Rong Wang had strong internal strength and good eyesight, he still couldn't see what Jiang Yue was doing.

I only saw her standing next to the water tank, with her hand in, looking around.

For some reason, that look seemed a little cute.

This is crazy. He finds an old woman cute. Is it because he has been single for 18 years and has no interest in women, so he feels empty inside?

Seeing that the person left the backyard in a moment, Prince Rong followed her closely to the kitchen. Seeing her crawling on the ground and reaching for the water tank, he almost went up to catch her.

There is a severe water shortage now. The water they brought was obtained by countless guards at the risk of their lives. It cannot be poisoned!

But after a while, the woman disappeared!!!

She was really gone. Prince Rong rushed forward and ignored the kitchen guard's greetings. He searched back and forth in the place where Jiang Yue disappeared, but he couldn't find her.

Prince Rong's eyes widened in disbelief as someone disappeared right under his nose!

Thinking of something, he looked up at the water tank and basin that Jiang Yue had touched, and they were full of water!

It’s all water!!

He called the kitchen steward and asked, "How much water is left in the water tanks and basins today?"

Water resources are in short supply now, and there are people guarding them every day to prevent people from using water indiscriminately.

Therefore, the person in charge is very clear about the daily remaining water amount.

But at this moment, the steward stared at the water tank and basin as if petrified, "Your Highness, I checked just half an hour ago, and the water tank was only half full, and the basin was completely empty, Your Highness!"

Prince Rong immediately used his Qinggong skills to run to the backyard and asked the secret guards to light torches to illuminate each water tank.

really!

Ten large vats were filled to the brim with water!

A word came to Prince Rong’s mind: immortal!

He didn't believe in ghosts and gods. When he heard the people and Emperor Mingde mention that gods had descended to Daxia, he scoffed.

He witnessed such a strange thing with his own eyes tonight, and he had to believe that there really were ghosts and gods in this world!

The secret guards looked at the big vat which was empty during the day and was now full of water. They were all surprised and looked at each other without saying a word. This was too shocking.

Prince Rong scooped a bucket of water and fed it to the dog in the backyard. The dog quickly licked up the water in the bowl and looked up at him with an unsatisfied look.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, the dog showed no adverse reaction.

Prince Rong scooped up a bucket of water and poured it into the bowl, then drank it in one gulp. The secret guards were so anxious that they wanted to go forward and try it first.

If it is poisonous, the prince must not be in any harm.

Prince Rong felt the sweetness in his mouth and his eyes lit up. He ordered people to keep an eye on the water tanks and flew to the kitchen where Jiang Yue disappeared to continue checking, but there was still no one there.

Jiang Yue knew nothing about all this. She went into the space, changed into cooling clothes, put on her own clothes, and left the space.

There was no one in the kitchen, so she sneaked away.

So when Prince Rong returned to the kitchen, Jiang Yue had already returned to her room.

Prince Rong sent out all his secret guards but they couldn't find Jiang Yue, so he had to go back and continue to keep watch.

However, the movement here did not escape the emperor's Jinyiwei, who sent someone to tell Prince Rong to come and see the emperor.

When he entered the room, Emperor Mingde was neatly dressed and sitting on the couch, with Eunuch Huang standing beside him.
