Diseased Prince and His Stupid Consort - C47
The capital was very big, and the distance from the palace to the city gate was not too close. Moreover, in this city, there were quite a few people who knew her identity. In order to not be recognized, Zhao Xiaoxue kept her head down as she jogged all the way.
Her goal was clear. She wanted to leave Anduo, find a safe place, and then slowly figure out what would happen in the future.
The whole journey was quite smooth, and Zhao Xiaoxue was not recognized, nor did she encounter any of the strange things that happened last time. However, this An Du was simply too big, and she had walked for a long time, from flying at the beginning to supporting herself as she walked, until this moment, she finally realized how important transportation was.
“City gates!” We’ve finally arrived! ”
Looking at the tall tower in front of her, Zhao Xiaoxue felt her heart throb. She could finally get out. She took out her last bit of strength and ran towards the tower.
“Eh? Why is the door closed? ”
Zhao Xiaoxue was quite puzzled, so she carefully asked the soldier brother beside her:
“Sir, the door is closed. Is there still a small door that you can enter from?”
In the past, Zhao Xiaoxue lived in a residential area with its doors closed. Only when the vehicles entered would the doors open. Therefore, she guessed that the city gates would be closed as well.
“What door?”
He had been standing guard here for several years, but no one had ever asked him such a bizarre question. If the other party was an ordinary person, he would have long since chased them away with the lance in his hand.
“Are you planning to leave the city?”
Hearing the other party’s question, Zhao Xiaoxue immediately nodded, hoping that the other party would point her in the right direction. But very quickly, her wish fell through. The soldier elder brother waved his hand and said:
“Go back. Come earlier tomorrow. Now that the city gates are closed, there’s no way for you to leave the city!”
Hearing this answer, Zhao Xiaoxue felt her body start to sway. It had been difficult for her to get out, but the result was like this. She still had to wait until tomorrow, but tonight …
Zhao Xiaoxue really couldn’t guarantee that she would be able to escape unscathed from the Prince’s hands.
“Sir, I really have urgent matters to attend to. Can we make some arrangements? Look, it’s already so early. The sun hasn’t even set yet. Isn’t it a bit too early to close the city gates?”
Zhao Xiaoxue estimated that it was only 4 PM. She did not expect that the city gate would be closed so early. It was really annoying.
“Harmony?” “Miss, please don’t make things difficult for us. There is a rule that we must close the city gate when the time comes and only open it when tomorrow comes. If the city gate is randomly opened in the middle, then we won’t be able to keep our heads anymore!”
It was because she was beautiful and wanted to take a few more glances. Otherwise, the soldiers guarding the door would not talk to her so much.
If I can’t go out, what can I do tonight? Zhao Xiaoxue was shocked. She dragged her backpack and walked back. No matter what, she couldn’t go back to the Mansion.
Of course, they couldn’t go back to the Xue Manor. Although their fat father and brother were good, they definitely couldn’t accept going home on their first day of marriage. Should they find a hotel?
With this idea in mind, Zhao Xiaoxue became spirited again. She would stay for a while, and when the city gates opened tomorrow, she would immediately leave the city. However, which hotels were in this city?
An extremely powerful bookworm, now illiterate, with a huge drop in popularity. Looking at the pretexts everywhere in the city, Zhao Xiaoxue could only shake her head. It seemed like she could only rely on experience to stay here.
“Giddy up!”
Just as Zhao Xiaoxue was about to leave, a horse carriage drove by at high speed with several people following behind it. Looking at the direction they were heading towards, it turned out to be the city gate.
“Why are you running so fast? I can’t go out! ”
Due to the fact that they shared the same illness, Zhao Xiaoxue was especially concerned about the movements of this group of people.
“Open the gates!”
The carriage only stopped at the city gates for a short while before the guard began to shout towards the city walls.
“What?”
Hearing the soldier’s loud roar, Zhao Xiaoxue was instantly dumbfounded. Didn’t that man just say that once the city gate was opened, his head would fall off? However, at this moment …
Zhao Xiaoxue was very angry, but she couldn’t find anyone to argue. Forget it, since the city gates were already opened, she would hurry out of the city, carrying her backpack and chasing after the group.
“You … You… “Come out!”
Just as Zhao Xiaoxue reached the city gates, she was stopped by the city guards. Zhao Xiaoxue knew that she was very conspicuous, after all, that group of people were all men in dark robes, and how could she, a brightly dressed woman, not be noticed?
“Sir, if I really want to leave the city, you can do it!”
Zhao Xiaoxue suppressed her temper and said some good words.
“This won’t do, I already said that I am not allowed to leave the city after being declared!”
His attitude was even more resolute than before.
“Then why can they go out?”
Zhao Xiaoxue could no longer suppress her temper.
“You don’t know what to say. If you saw that he had a carriage, it meant that he had power and influence, so you didn’t dare to offend him. That’s why you let him go. Seeing that I’m easy to bully, you intentionally made things difficult?”
“You … What nonsense are you spouting? ”
Who would have thought that the lady in front would suddenly go crazy. The magistrate was also shocked. Moreover, she was pointing at the person in the carriage. If she angered the owner of the carriage, the consequences would be unimaginable.
“Quick, quick!” Get this crazy woman off the stage! ”
He didn’t want to alarm the owner of the carriage, so he wanted to block the mouth of this girl who was speaking so arrogantly.
“Don’t come over! “Otherwise, I …”
Zhao Xiaoxue wanted to threaten him. After all, her big brother was also a great general. But now was the time to reveal her identity? She couldn’t hide it in time, so she didn’t dare to say it herself.
“Wait!”
The commotion attracted the attention of the group in front, and one of them quickly walked over.
“Aiyo, this girl is in trouble!” You! ”
The guard was terrified. Although he had the heart to cherish the fairer sex, he didn’t have the ability to protect her.
“What orders do you have, Sir Guard?”
Seeing the other party approach, the ferocious gatekeeping officer quickly revealed a fawning smile.
“My family’s young master asked where the young lady is planning to go?”
The guard directly asked the lady in front of him. After all, this was the answer that the young master wanted to know.
Could it be that the kind-hearted young master in the carriage in front was going to help her? Thinking of this, Zhao Xiaoxue couldn’t let go of this opportunity.
“I want to leave the city. If Young Noble can help me tell this Official!”
After receiving the answer, the guard couldn’t answer immediately. He turned around and quickly went to report to the young master. He spoke a few words in front of the carriage, as if he had received instructions from the owner of the carriage.
“Young Master said that it’s getting late, and it’s not safe for young lady to go out of the city alone. I’d like to request young lady to return as soon as possible!”
Hearing this answer was really disappointing, but after thinking about it carefully, this young master’s decision was also correct. It could be seen that this young master was a good person, but she had her own difficulties and could not speak out the truth.
“Can’t you help me if I really have something to do to get out of the city?”
