Forced love, an inescapable fate

After hearing Mu Qingli's words, Jiang Ci understood in his heart. It was just as he thought, but he still showed surprise on the surface.

"But sister, there are so many people going on the autumn hunt this time, how are we supposed to escape?"

After listening to him, Mu Qingli nodded and continued speaking softly.

"You're right. This time, there are more people than ever. But brother, we don't have many opportunities to leave the palace. Although there are many people going on this autumn hunt, if you look at it from another perspective, I think having more people will actually make it easier for us to escape. We can fish in troubled waters. With more people, they will naturally not be able to take care of us. No matter what, we have to give it a try. What if we succeed?"

Jiang Ci didn't answer, but frowned slightly, as if thinking about what she had just said.

Seeing this, Mu Qingli reached out and touched Jiang Ci's hair.

She was very skilled at this action because before coming here, whenever her little rascal brother got into trouble and was criticized, Mu Qingli would touch his hair to comfort him, so she was particularly skilled at this action.

"Brother, although the Qi royal family seems to have changed their attitude towards us, who knows what they are up to, so we must seize this opportunity. You see, they knew we were leaving the palace this time, so I sent them away early in the morning after Lan Fang and the others dressed me up. I also took away all my jewelry. It's not much, but after selling it, it should be able to support us for a while. As long as we escape, the sky will be high and the sea will be wide, and we will always be able to survive."

Seeing Mu Qingli pull up her sleeves to reveal the bracelet on her fair wrist and her pointing at the hair accessories on her head, Jiang Ci couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

The things she was wearing were all belonging to the royal family of Qi. If she really sold them, she would be exposed to the general even faster. She was always stupid.

Although he thought so in his heart, his expression seemed as if he was really moved by what she had just said.

He just nodded slightly and whispered.

"I listen to my elder sister in everything. What does my elder sister want to do?"

Seeing Jiang Ci agreed, Mu Qingli looked straight into his eyes, her eyes moving, and spoke softly.

"I want to wait until we get to Tashan and have a thorough understanding of the distribution of the accompanying personnel before we take action. By then, everyone's attention will be on the Autumn Hunt, and we can look for opportunities. However, we need to make detailed plans on how to proceed once we get there. But there is still a problem. The two of us have never attended any banquets in Qi State. We are participating in the Autumn Hunt this time as hostages, so we might attract attention. So from now on, we must try to reduce our presence as much as possible and avoid being noticed. But if we can't avoid it, there is nothing we can do. We can only deal with it haphazardly. We will try to stay together for the next few days."

"And that Fifth Princess? Since we're both here, she should be here too. If you see her, try to avoid her. We've offended her before, and she might try to trip us up during this autumn hunt. For our safe escape, be patient and avoid any conflict."

Jiang Ci nodded obediently.

Mu Qingli sighed secretly. To be honest, her calmness was all fake. In fact, she was more panicked than anyone else. But for the sake of freedom, for the sake of survival, and for the sake of the well-behaved and handsome boy in front of her, she felt that no matter what, she had to bite the bullet and give it a try.

The carriage was shaking, and Mu Qingli was worried. He kept thinking about the possible accidents that might happen during the escape plan in his mind, and prayed silently in his heart.

God has played such a big joke on me, so this time, can he fulfill my wish and let Jiang Ci and I escape safely?

She hadn't slept well last night, and while she was thinking about these things, she fell asleep as the carriage swayed.

At first she was leaning against the back of the carriage, but as the carriage swayed, her head involuntarily leaned towards Jiang Ci. When her head was completely resting on Jiang Ci's shoulder, Jiang Ci's body obviously stiffened.

Feeling the weight on her shoulders, the disgust in his eyes grew stronger. Although he kept telling himself that she was still useful, he couldn't help but want to twist the head off his shoulders.

He couldn't help but feel physically disgusted with Mu Qingli. After all, before she was beaten half to death by the Third Prince, he would never be able to forgive her for what she had done to him in this lifetime.

The dagger in Jiang Ci's sleeve was approaching Mu Qingli's neck, and his face looked extremely ugly at this moment.

But just when the dagger in his hand was about to touch the blood vessels on Mu Qingli's neck, he finally withdrew his hand, took a deep breath, and did not take the next step.

Forget it, I can still use her in the future, her life is still useful, at least she has to stay alive until I sit on the position of the East Palace.

Mu Qingli slept very soundly and had no idea that he had been to the gates of hell.

When she woke up again, she felt severe pain in her neck.

She slowly opened her eyes and saw Jiang Ci's obvious jawline. Only then did she realize that she had been leaning on Jiang Ci's shoulder.

No wonder her neck was so sore. Jiang Ci was only thirteen years old now and was slightly shorter than her, so when she slept on his shoulder, her neck would naturally ache. She didn't even know how long she had slept.

She hurriedly left Jiang Ci's shoulder, and her eyes swept over the obvious puddle of water on his shoulder, and her face couldn't help but get hot.

I couldn't help but feel angry. He was just sleeping, but he was drooling. This face of his is ruined. He has already thrown it to his grandma's house.

Her face flushed and she could only laugh awkwardly.

"I'm sorry, brother. I accidentally fell asleep just now. Why didn't you wake me up? I'm not a good sleeper and I soiled your clothes. I'm sorry."

Jiang Ci smiled and whispered.

"Nothing. I saw that my sister was sleeping soundly, and I thought that she must not have had a good rest last night, so I didn't wake you up."

Jiang Ci's words made Mu Qingli feel even more embarrassed, but at the same time her heart warmed. He was the only person she knew in this world. No matter what happened in the future, at least now, they were people who could hold each other together for warmth.

When it was dark, they finally arrived at the place where they set up camp. Although they stopped and walked along the way and ate something during the period, Mu Qingli's stomach was already protesting strongly at this time. Fortunately, the carriage had stopped and noise gradually came from outside the carriage.

Mu Qingli lifted the curtain and saw that a bonfire had been lit outside and tents had been set up. He took a quick look at the surroundings and estimated that they should be in a valley. These bonfires and tents should have been set up in advance by the advance team.

Lan Fang was still outside the car window. She saw Mu Qingli lift the curtain of the car window and spoke in a faint voice.

"Princess, you and the Sixth Prince can get off the car and rest now."
