The besties traveled through the book together, and the prince and general became abandoned husbands

Facing Xu Junjun's bright eyes, Jiang Wumei curled her lips, nodded, and pointed behind her:

"There is a secret passage in Zhongcui Palace. As long as we find it, I can escape."

Xu Junjun gradually opened her mouth wide, her eyes moving back and forth between Jiang Wumei and the palace.

After a while, he slammed the table and said excitedly:

"What are we waiting for? Let's go find the secret passage!

Once we find it, we’ll leave in a few days!”

Seeing Xu Junjun's excitement, Jiang Wumei quickly pulled her back and whispered:

"Don't worry, once we find the secret passage, I have to think of a way to avoid implicating the Jiang family.

Otherwise, given Xiao Tong's character, if he found out that I was missing suddenly, he would definitely target the Jiang family.

The original owner's brother and parents were very kind to him. The last time Jiang Yuanzhou met me, every word he said was full of concern. Even if I leave, I have to find a way to get out of the Jiang family."

The light in Xu Junjun's eyes was half extinguished:

"So when can we leave?

Niaoniao, you don’t know, I’m really fed up with that stupid dog Huo Qiming.

Every time I see him, I want to slap his weird face.

If it weren't for Madam Huo, I wouldn't want to stay in the Huo family for even a single day."

Listening to Xu Junjun's complaints, Jiang Wumei fondly flicked her frowning brows and said with a smile:

"I haven't had the chance to ask you, what's the situation at the Huo Mansion these days?

Have you figured out how to get out?"

Speaking of this, Xu Junjun frowned even more tightly, feeling very distressed:

“Well, to be honest, I have no idea yet.

I want to leave, but I don't want to hurt Madam Huo's feelings. This fake death is really not easy to die."

Jiang Wumei felt the same way. All land under heaven belongs to the king, and all the people in the world are his subjects.

Here, those in power decide life and death at will.

If they don't come up with a foolproof plan, they will only bring disaster upon themselves and spend the rest of their lives being hunted without a moment's peace.

This is not the life they want.

"We'll each think it over. As soon as one of us is free, we'll go to the agreed location and wait for news from the other."

Jiang Wumei had no good solution for the moment. All the plans she had prepared in the Prince's Mansion were ruined because of the death of the Great Saint Emperor.

For now, we can only find the secret passage first and take it one step at a time.

After the two best friends finished talking, they searched through Zhongcui Palace together, leaving no corner unsearched.

After searching for several rounds, Xu Junjun finally found a bulge in the corner under the big bed. After pressing it, the floor collapsed, revealing a one-person-wide walkway.

When they found this secret passage, they were overjoyed. They lit candles and went down to explore the way.

The secret passage was narrow and dull, but there was a faint sound of wind. Jiang Wumei was delighted, knowing that this secret passage must have an exit.

Now, the most important thing is to determine where the other end of this secret passage leads to and whether there will be danger after going out.

Jiang Wumei and Xu Junjun walked along the secret passage. This narrow and stuffy corridor seemed to have no end.

Seeing the candle in her hand getting shorter and shorter, and the candlelight flickering, Xu Junjun pulled Jiang Wumei's sleeve with some fear:

"Niao Niao, do we still need to move forward?

This candle is already half burned, and I won’t be able to see the road when I go back later.”

After Xu Junjun reminded her, Jiang Wumei realized that only half of the red candle was left in the hands of the two of them. It had been about quarter of an hour since they came down. If they delayed inside for too long, it would be troublesome if Qingzhi entered the hall and found that no one was there.

She extinguished half of the candle in her hand, leaving only the half in Xu Junjun's hand burning. Jiang Wumei whispered:

"Let's go up first. I'll come down next time when I'm fully prepared."

It would be too easy to be exposed if I disappeared during the day, so it would be safer to wait until late at night when everyone is asleep before coming down to explore the way.

Xu Junjun's hands were sweaty, and he nervously scratched his sleeves and suggested:

"You'd better not come down alone. Why don't you wait for us to go up and prepare candles, bring some poison powder and daggers, and then come down together."

Not knowing how long this secret passage was, Xu Junjun was also worried about Jiang Wumei exploring the way alone.

Since she is here today, it is better to prepare everything later and do it in one go to avoid any more trouble.

Jiang Wumei thought about it for a moment and nodded in agreement.

There will be less and less things happening on Xiao Tong's side. If she waits for him to be free and stay overnight at Zhongcui Palace every night, she will not have the opportunity to explore the way alone.

Finish today's work today. After confirming the export, she can make plans early.

"Okay. Let's move quickly then."

Jiang Wumei and Xu Junjun quickly returned along the way they came, and walked out of the secret passage in a slightly embarrassed manner.

After brushing off the dust and dirt on her dress, Jiang Wumei called Qingzhi in and gave her some instructions.

"I have important matters to discuss with Madam Huo. You must guard the palace gates. No one is allowed to disturb us without my permission."

Qingzhi was stunned and looked up at his queen, but suddenly saw mud stains on the corner of her palace dress.

However, Jiang Wumei had gone to the Imperial Garden to sit for a while in the morning, and Qingzhi didn't think much about it and nodded in agreement:

"Yes, Madam, I am right outside the palace. Just call me if you need anything."

After Qingzhi left the palace, Jiang Wumei and Xu Junjun looked at each other, picked up a dozen candles on the candlesticks and a dagger for self-defense, turned around and ran towards the secret passage.

This time, Jiang Wumei and Xu Junjun walked in the secret passage for more than an hour.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, they finally saw a ray of light ahead.

Seeing the dawn, the two best friends quickened their pace and arrived at the exit together.

Looking at the steel secret door in front of them, the two pressed the middle ring and exerted force together, finally pushing it open.

Jiang Wumei and Xu Junjun used a dagger to cut off the tightly wrapped green vines outside the secret door, and saw the rolling mountains outside the secret door. They gasped in shock.

"Niao Niao... where is this?"

Jiang Wumei was also frightened by the vast expanse of emerald green mountains in front of her and shook her head:

"I do not know either.

But judging by the direction of the mountains, this is definitely not the area surrounding the imperial palace."

Xu Junjun patted his chest and suddenly became happy:

"Niao Niao, your escape has been solved!!"

Jiang Wumei was equally happy, her clear voice spreading in the mountain breeze, full of joy and satisfaction:

"Yes, it's found!

I'm finally free!

This damn palace fighting novel, whoever wants to fight can fight, I won’t serve you anymore!

Xiao Tong, after I leave Beijing, I hope we will never see each other again in this lifetime! "

Seeing Jiang Wumei unleashing her true nature, Xu Junjun felt a surge of pride in his chest. He raised his hands like megaphones and roared towards the mountain:

"Damn Huo Qiming, you idiot, get out of here!

My aunt is going to pursue happiness.

The road ahead is long, you'd better pray that you never fall into my hands again in this life, otherwise I will definitely poison you to the point of crippling your limbs!"

After the two best friends finished shouting, they listened to the echo in the mountains, looked at each other's bright eyes, and laughed heartily.

"Junjun, I'm lucky to have you. If it weren't for you, I would have collapsed long ago."

"Me too. If you hadn't been helping me, I would have died the moment I got here."

The two best friends thanked each other in the presence of the mountain breeze, but as they talked they felt bored and burst out laughing together.

After pulling the cut vines back to their original position and closing the secret door, the two best friends ran back hand in hand.

With a direction to live, the two best friends walked with a brisk pace this time, and the smiles on their faces were brighter and more relaxed than ever before.
