The cold emperor reigns supreme, the arrogant empress begs for a truce.

Chapter Ten: The Escape Plan from the Palace

After Mo Zhen left, Leng Yuling completely forgot what she had said and began planning her escape again.

at night.

When the night was deep and quiet, Leng Yuling quietly changed into a palace maid's clothes and left the palace. She was very careful the whole way, barely daring to breathe.

She walked with her back as low as possible, and when she was not far from the palace gate, she stopped and looked at the situation at the gate. She didn't know that she needed a palace token to leave the palace.

As expected, she still doesn't understand the rules of this era.

She sighed deeply, thinking of climbing over the wall to leave, just like when she was a child studying. But looking at the palace wall, which was twice as tall as her, she gave up the idea.

After wandering around the palace for most of the night, she finally slunk back to her own palace. Lying in bed, she couldn't fall asleep, her mind filled with nothing but thoughts of escaping.

Suddenly remembering something, Leng Yuling curled her lips into a smile. There's always a way out.

She summoned her personal maid, Ziyan, intending to ask her if there was any way to leave the palace, but her sharp eyes noticed the palace token worn by Ziyan at her waist.

Leng Yuling took out a silver needle and stabbed it when Ziyan was not paying attention. The next moment, Ziyan fell into Leng Yuling's arms.

"For my happiness, I have no choice but to trouble you." Leng Yuling dragged Ziyan to lie down on the soft couch, then changed into a palace maid's clothes and secretly slipped out again.

When she arrived at the palace gate again, she took a deep breath before walking towards the gate.

As expected, she was stopped by a guard as soon as she reached the door: "Where is your palace token?" The guard's tone was not very friendly. Fortunately, Leng Yuling was a worldly person. In her previous life, she often attended various grand occasions, so why would she be afraid of this small gatekeeper?

She calmly handed the palace token she had taken from Ziyan to the guard. After looking at it, the guard was taken aback at first, and then looked her up and down with a scrutinizing gaze: "Which palace are you from? Why are you leaving the palace so late?"

“I am from Doctor Leng’s palace. Doctor Leng asked me to leave the palace to take care of some business,” Leng Yuling replied calmly.

Even though she was trembling with nervousness, her expression and tone showed no sign of tension or worry.

The guards routinely checked her palace pass from front to back, found nothing amiss, and finally let her out of the palace without any trouble.

Not far behind Leng Yuling, two pairs of eyes were staring at her, but she didn't notice anything. It wasn't until she walked out of the palace gate that the person next to Mo Zhen spoke.

"Your Majesty, since you knew she wanted to escape the palace, why did you let her leave so easily?" The speaker was Di Ren, Mo Zhen's personal guard.

What Leng Yuling didn't know was that the reason she was able to leave the palace so easily was because Mo Zhen had ordered her to leave. Otherwise, the palace was not a place she could come and go as she pleased.

Mo Zhen watched Leng Yuling's figure gradually disappear from his sight and curled the corners of his lips: "If I don't let her escape once, she won't know how easy it is for me to catch her if I want to."

After hearing Mo Zhen's words, Di Ren realized his true purpose in doing so. No wonder he sent a team of men to follow Leng Yuling.

"Then, when should we bring Doctor Leng back?"

"Let her play outside for a day first. I will personally pick her up tomorrow night." After saying that, Mo Zhen waved his sleeve and turned to leave.
