Chapter 396 Escape to Qingling
Lin Sheng's tone was harsh, as if he was angry.

Wu Junfeng did not dare to raise his head and kept repeating his previous words, "Eunuch Lin, I have no intention of offending Mrs. Hou, but it is official business..."

"Official business?" Lin Sheng twitched the corners of his mouth, his eyes sarcastic, "Are you talking about this with our family?"

Wu Junfeng's face stiffened, and he no longer argued against him. He turned to look at Fang Xu and said in a deep voice, "Mrs. Hou, I understand that I am humbled by my position, so please don't take today's matter to your heart."

Fang Xu curled his lips, leaned on the cushion behind him, and said leisurely, "If Commander Wu had known the current affairs so early, how could he have caused the current situation?"

Wu Junfeng was worried, but he had to force a smile and whispered, "In this humble position, please remember Madam Hou's teachings."

Fang Xu chuckled and said quietly, "Let's go."

The wheels turned again, and Wu Junfeng watched the Yongcheng Hou Mansion's carriage drive away with his own eyes, with an unhappy look on his face. When he turned around, he met Lin Sheng's indifferent eyes.

Just this look almost scared Wu Junfeng crazy. Before the anger on his face dissipated, he hurriedly smiled again. Unfortunately, the smile was uglier than crying.

"You can join the Forbidden Army and become a junior commander. You must have spent a lot of money on your family, right?" Lin Sheng seemed to see through his hypocrisy, with a scrutinizing look in his eyes, "Wu Junfeng, don't blame our family for not reminding you to do things. You have to be a human being first, and if you want to run, you have to learn to walk first. You don’t need to explain clearly what you shouldn’t say and what you shouldn’t do, right?”

Wu Junfeng's face was ashen, and there was a flash of panic on his face. He pretended to be calm and said, "Where did Eunuch Lin come from, and why can't I understand it?"

Lin Sheng sneered, his eyes instantly turned cold, and he stopped speaking. He just ordered the people in front of him, "Let's go. Those who pretend to be asleep, we won't be able to wake them up."

As soon as the words fell, Wu Junfeng suddenly felt a chill running down his spine. The sound of wheels turning was heard in his ears, and the fear slowly dissipated.

After leaving the palace gate, a carriage had already parked outside, picking up several concubines and concubines, and headed straight to the city.

Arriving at Dongshi, the carriage suddenly turned a corner and passed by another courtyard.

Queen Mother Zhu opened the curtains a small crack and looked out of the car. Seeing that it was not the way to the Marquis' Mansion, she turned to look behind her and whispered, "Xiao Xu, where are we going?"

Fang Xu pursed his lips and smiled, then said, "Go to a safe place."

After a while, two carriages stopped in front of a yard. Everyone got out of the carriage and looked at the small house in front of them with different expressions.

Queen Mother Zhu stood in front of Fang Xu, looked at the word Fang Zhai engraved on the door plaque, and said softly, "This is..."

Fang Xu looked sideways at her and said in a gentle tone, "Everyone, please follow me in."

The door was pushed open, and Fang Xu led everyone into the courtyard.

In the courtyard, there was a woman with her back to them, bending down to pack something. There was a mess in the courtyard, with large boxes and small bags piled under the wall.

"Madam, the Queen Mother rewarded you with an inkstone, do you still hold it?"

A woman's clear voice came from the room.

"Everything! If something unexpected happens along the way, you can always use these things to offset it." The woman who was cleaning up in the yard had no time to pay attention to her and only responded vaguely.

"elder sister."

Fang Xu called softly, and saw the woman not far away trembled, as if she was startled, and turned around immediately.

Seeing that it was her biological sister, Fang Lan was just about to agree. Her eyes flashed and she saw a few people behind her. Her face froze and she asked in a low voice, "Xiao Xu, these are..."

"Alan."

A familiar voice sounded. Fang Lan's eyes widened, and he looked at the woman in horror. He was so frightened that he stammered, "Too... too..." It took a long time, but he didn't have much explanation.

Queen Mother Zhu had a smile on her lips, but there were tears in her eyes, and she whispered, "A Lan..."

Ever since Fang Lan reconciled, he and she hadn't seen each other often. He thought the relationship had faded, but he didn't expect that at the critical moment, she would step forward.

"Hey." Fang Lan responded in a low voice. He didn't care about saluting and rushed to her. He looked her up and down and kept asking, "Why are you like this? Did it go well when you left the palace? Yes. Not injured?"

The Queen Mother Zhu let her play with her, not feeling offended at all, but feeling extremely cordial. She held her hand and comforted her softly, "Xiao Xu is here and she is acting securely. Why are you so worried?"

"Yes." Fang Lan was naturally happy when he heard others praising his sister, "But how come they all changed? They became..."

Everyone is ugly in his own way.

Fang Lan only dared to say the second half of the sentence in his heart.

"If not, we wouldn't be able to come out safely." Queen Mother Zhu held her face in her hands and joked, "Before I came here, I was always worried that this fake nose would fall off!"

These words resonated with several concubines, who hurriedly touched their faces, fearing that a piece of them would be missing due to bumps on the road.

"It's getting late, sister, let's set off quickly while the sky is still bright." Fang Xu looked up at the sky with a serious face, "It will be safer to get to Qingling as soon as possible."

"Qingling?" Queen Mother Zhu asked in a low voice, puzzled, "Why go to Qingling?"

Fang Lan lowered her voice and told the whole plan, "We sisters are considering bringing back some masters under the pretext of worshiping ancestors. Qingling Tomb is far away from the capital and is surrounded by mountains. It is a good place to hide until the dust settles." , let’s go back to Beijing.”

Hearing this, Queen Mother Zhu relaxed her eyebrows and nodded gently, "Okay, let's set off quickly to avoid a long night and many dreams. In a few days, I'm afraid we won't be able to get out."

"Okay." Fang Lan nodded and shouted into the room, "Xunfang, come and move things quickly."

There was a response from the back room, and after a while, someone ran out. When he saw a few people in the courtyard, he was stunned for a moment, and then made a big salute, "This slave has met several masters."

Fang Xu looked around and saw no two children. He turned around and asked, "Where are Qi'er and Chang Ge?"

Fang Lan carried two packages and walked out of the hospital, not forgetting to respond to her words, "The children are still young, so I can't worry about it, so I asked Jia'er to lead them away first."

As soon as they left the courtyard, they saw Lin Sheng, who had been waiting outside the door for a long time.

When Queen Mother Zhu saw him, she was surprised and asked, "Lin Sheng, how did you find yourself here?"

Lin Sheng changed his attire and stood beside the carriage in regular clothes. His originally straight spine bent down again when he saw several nobles. "This slave has discussed with several masters' personal maids and brought many masters with him." Get things we can use on a daily basis.”

After saying that, Lin Sheng opened the carriage and unloaded the things inside one by one.

Lin Sheng was busy working and talked much less than usual.

Seeing him like this, several masters who escaped from the palace had red eyes.

Those whom they trusted also stayed in the palace as cover.

I don’t know what the outcome will be, and I don’t know if we can see each other again.

Farewell today, or forever.
