The weak prince's queen

"Miss, how do we get out?" Dong'er grabbed the corner of Chu Xiyue's clothes tightly and asked in a low voice.

"Shh! Don't talk, just follow me. I have already found the exit during the day." Chu Xiyue answered softly.

Chu Xiyue pulled Dong'er and walked carefully towards the hole in the city wall that they had discovered during the day.

"Ah? Miss, isn't this a dog hole?" Dong'er couldn't help but exclaim in surprise when she saw the hole in front of her.

"I've seen TV dramas play out this way. There's no other way now, we can only go this way. Forget about that, let's get out of here first," Chu Xiyue said without hesitation. She secretly felt lucky that she had watched a lot of ancient costume dramas in modern times before, otherwise she really wouldn't know what to do.

Chu Xiyue let Dong'er crawl into the cave first, and then she followed in. Not long after, the two finally successfully climbed out of the cave.

"Ah, this free air." Chu Xiyue stood where she was, took a deep breath of fresh air, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

However, at this moment, Dong'er suddenly hid behind Chu Xiyue, trembling all over.

"What's wrong, Dong'er?" Chu Xiyue noticed that Dong'er was acting strangely and asked with concern.

"Miss..." Dong'er's voice trembled as she pointed to the darkness ahead, "There seems to be a figure there..."

Chu Xiyue looked in the direction of Dong'er's finger and found several dark shadows swaying not far away. Her heart tightened. Could it be that she had been discovered?

"Don't be afraid, it might just be someone passing by." Chu Xiyue comforted Dong'er, but she couldn't help but get nervous.

At this time, the sky was covered with dark clouds, blocking the moonlight. It was pitch black all around, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you. Chu Xiyue opened her eyes wide, trying to see the situation around her, but her vision was too blurry.

"Oh, I should have brought a lantern with me." Chu Xiyue regretted it very much. This was really troublesome.

"Miss, I'm still scared..." Dong'er said tremblingly, tightly grasping Chu Xiyue's sleeve, as if trying to draw some courage and strength from her.

Chu Xiyue gently patted Dong'er's shoulder and whispered soothingly, "Don't be afraid, Dong'er, I'm here with you. Come, hold my hand, and let's walk slowly together. Don't rush." ​​As she spoke, she reached out and took Dong'er's hand, and the two of them carefully moved forward. However, despite appearing calm on the surface, Chu Xiyue was also filled with fear, her heartbeat threatening to burst through her chest.

As they struggled forward, they heard the sound of a fierce fight not far ahead. Chu Xiyue's heart tightened, and she quickly pulled Dong'er up and hid in a nearby corner. She stared nervously ahead, trying to see what was happening.

When she looked closely, she saw a man wielding a longsword, moving through the crowd like a ghost. His swordsmanship was fierce, and every swing of his sword was accompanied by a splatter of blood, making people shudder. In a short period of time, several people fell in a pool of blood, their life or death unknown.

Witnessing this bloody scene, Dong'er, who was standing behind Chu Xiyue, couldn't help but let out a scream.

"Who's there? Come out!" The man heard the noise and glanced coldly in the direction of Chu Xiyue. His deep and terrifying gaze was like two sharp swords, piercing the darkness and reaching into people's hearts.

Chu Xiyue exchanged glances with the man, and an inexplicable panic welled up in her heart. She realized she couldn't linger any longer, and her body's instincts prompted her to pull Dong'er up and flee the scene without hesitation.

"Dong'er, run." Chu Xiyue and Dong'er ran forward with all their might, and arrived at the entrance of the cave they had discovered before, panting. Without any hesitation, the two of them immediately went into the cave.

At this time, outside the courtyard wall, Mo Feng reported to Xiao Yichen: "Your Highness, those people fled into the Lin Mansion, so we stopped chasing them. Could they be people sent by the Lin Mansion?"

Xiao Yichen pondered for a moment and replied, "Let's not worry about whether they are sent by the Lin Mansion. We will investigate later. Besides, our faces are covered, so they should not be able to recognize us. From today on, you must pay close attention to every move of the Lin Mansion. Also, clean up this place." After speaking, Xiao Yichen's mind kept emerging with the pair of eyes that were full of panic but unusually calm, which made him unable to let go.

"As you command, Your Majesty." Mo Feng responded respectfully. Then, Xiao Yichen left silently.
