The palace is quiet, and the empress of the cold palace is acting as a demon

Chapter 15 The First Escape
"..." Ning Yi lowered his head and continued to practice calligraphy.His pen is clear and handsome, and his writing is like a strong wind and strong bamboo, full of courage.But after writing a few lines, he felt bad again, so he dropped the pen, crumpled up the words he had just written and threw them aside.

Yuan Ying bowed her head and asked for instructions: "Your Highness, this subordinate will go and bring the empress back."

"Don't worry, she's locked up for too long on weekdays, let her come out for a run." Ning Yi said.

"The subordinate will lead someone to secretly protect the empress." Yuan Ying begged for orders.

Ning Yi walked to the sword stand, took off the sword and hung it on his waist: "No, this king will go in person."

Here, Qin Wan found that his escape journey was too easy.

She sneaked along the path in the palace, holding the map of the palace that Liuying helped her draw in her hand.Follow several rockery lotus ponds, bypass the small bridge and flower hall, and there are still dozens of steps to reach the gate of the palace.

Just when she was worrying about how to break through the palace gate, a group of guards suddenly came and called away the guards in front of the palace gate.Then an astonishing scene appeared, the officer and soldier closed the east gate of the palace, but opened the east gate, and then left in line with the group of guards.

"What the hell is this? Are these officers and soldiers so casual in guarding the door?" Qin Wan took out a silk scarf from her bag, covered her face, lowered her head, and trotted to the palace gate. She looked left and right, and found that there was really a After no one was there, he walked out of the palace gate in a hurry.

Before he dared to walk out of the palace gate, a clean and beautiful little red pony was tied to the horse post outside the palace gate.

Qin Wan tilted her head and looked at the little red horse, took off the rein in disbelief, stepped on the horse stool that had been placed, and straddled the horse with ease.

Qin Wan was a little dazed, but he couldn't turn his head back, so he could only try to drive away.She once traveled to the prairie for a week and learned how to ride a horse for a few days with local herdsmen.With this skill, she managed to make the pony jog easily, not only without bumps, but also with a bit of fun shaking.

The bright moon led the way, and the pony knew the disciples. With little effort, Qin Wan was taken to the center of Yingyang City by the pony.At this time, the city has not yet reached the curfew time, and there are still pedestrians shopping in shops on the road.Qin Wan got off the pony and leisurely led the horse while walking and looking at the products displayed by the vendors.

Although they were all simple daily utensils and ordinary snacks and pastries, Qin Wan, who had been locked up for nearly 20 days, felt a burst of novelty.

As he walked, suddenly a tranquil fragrance floated in the air.

Qin Wan took a closer look, and it turned out to be a small stall selling pastries.

Qin Wan leaned over, the store just steamed a basket of yellow rice sweet cakes, she was drooling watching.

"Girl, two copper coins for one piece, how much do you want?" The inspection found that she was not dressed like an ordinary woman, and asked courteously with a smile on her face.

Qin Wan was immediately stopped by the question, and it was only then that she realized this serious problem.She has no money on her now and can't buy anything at all.Moreover, she didn't know what the currency of this era looked like, nor how to exchange it, so she escaped like this, completely unprepared.

Qin Wan turned to look at the little red horse, thinking about selling the horse.

But if the horse is sold, if someone chases after him, he will not be able to escape.And she doesn't know how much the horse can sell for, and whether she will be cheated, these are completely unknown.

"Girl, how much do you want?" The boss asked urgently.

Qin Wan shook her head in embarrassment: "Forget it, I don't have any money."

Hearing this, the boss changed his attentive manner, and spat: "What to see if you don't have money, just walk around, don't delay my business."

Qin Wan looked at the two pieces of yellow rice cake again, and led the horse away resentfully.She took out a piece of biscuit from her bag and gnawed it.

"Hmph, the yellow rice cake is no better than the biscuits I made myself." Qin Wan comforted himself as he walked forward, tearing off half of it and feeding it to the little red horse.

She walked for a while, and the night market came to an end.She looked around, not knowing where she should go, let alone where she could live tonight, so she could only bite the bullet and move on.

Until we walked across a small stone bridge, the night market just now was no longer visible behind us.She sat on the bridge, touched the little red horse's head and said: "Little red horse, little red horse, where do you think we are going? I never thought that I could run out at first, and it was so easy, so I didn't plan at all. Where do you want to go when you come out? This is good, but you came out of the cold palace, but you became homeless."

The little red horse intelligently pushed Qin Wan's arm with its head.

"You said you want me to go back to the palace? I even escaped, and it would be too shameful to go back by myself. I don't want to be ridiculed by that King Yama, let alone make him proud."

The little red horse didn't hit her again, but quietly stayed by her side.

Qin Wan sat on the edge of the small stone bridge and looked at the moon above his head and in the small river, feeling a little desolate in his heart.

At this time, several men were drinking in the tavern on the corner of the street, and one of them saw Qin Wan sitting on the stone bridge from a distance.The man winked at the drinking buddies next to him, and they turned their heads to look in Qin Wan's direction at the same time.

Immediately afterwards, the four men understood, and came out of the tavern at the same time, sneered maliciously, and walked towards Qin Wan who hadn't noticed the danger step by step.

One of them said: "This little girl looks good, and she will definitely earn a good price if she sells it in Chunxiangfang."

Another person said: "I don't care how much I can sell it for, let my brothers taste it first."

Several men smiled wretchedly and walked towards the small stone bridge.

Suddenly, the man at the head heard a few muffled sounds behind him.He scratched his head and turned around, only to see his three brothers standing still with their necks empty, while their three heads were gurgling like watermelons and rolling on the ground with blood.

He just wanted to yell, but found that he couldn't make a sound, he just felt his neck stiff, and then his eyes fell to the ground, and he rolled like those heads.

Ning Yi put away the sword in his hand, walked around the man's upright corpse in disgust, and strode towards Qin Wan.

Qin Wan shook his legs, gnawed on the last bit of sesame seed cake, and wanted to drink water, only to find that the small bamboo kettle had leaked at some point, and there was still a pitiful mouthful of water in the kettle.She drank the sip of water with her neck raised, her head drooped, as despondent as a pineapple in Hainan, the fresh energy she just ran out of the palace was completely gone.

Forget it, let's go back.

As soon as Qin Wan jumped down from the edge of the stone bridge, he saw a familiar figure walking towards the opposite side of the stone bridge. before night.

Ning Yi: "Go, go back with me."

Qin Wan pouted and said dissatisfiedly, "Are you following me?"

Ning Yi took a deep breath: "Do you think you can come here so easily without my king's permission?"

Qin Wan said angrily, "I won't leave."

Ning Yi raised his eyebrows: "Then what are you doing here? It's not like you have nowhere to go, so you can only sigh here."

Qin Wan was right, but he couldn't lose face: "I'm just here to watch the moon."

Seeing how desperate she was for face, Ning chuckled, took off his cloak and put it on Qin Wan's shoulders: "Okay, for today's full moon, I will accompany you here to watch the moon for a while."
