After traveling through time, I took command and led the troops to conquer the mountains and rivers.

Chapter 443 Escape
The emperor was ill, and the crown prince was in charge of the country, with full responsibility for the sacrifices given to him.

All the officials followed Li Yansheng and knelt down to worship heaven and earth, praying to God to bless the Great Zhou with good weather and a peaceful and prosperous life for the people.

"Kowtow!"

"Thank God for caring about the people!"

As the chanting began, everyone knelt down.

"Two kowtows!"

"Thank God for blessing the Great Zhou!"

"Kowtow three times!"

“Thank you.”

With a "crack", a crack appeared on the cauldron on the altar.

When everyone saw this scene, they were so frightened that they dared not breathe.

With two "clicks", two more cracks appeared.

The entire altar was silent. Li Yansheng's face was as gloomy as water, his eyes fixed on the cauldron.

“Why are there three gaps?”

"Is there a hidden meaning?"

At this moment, a sudden voice came from somewhere in the corner.

"Does it mean that the destiny of the Great Zhou will be the Third Prince?"

With a loud "boom", the furnace cracked.

All the officials knelt on the ground.

Li Yansheng retracted his foot, turned around and looked at the official in front of him and said with gritted teeth.

"If anyone dares to spread what happened today, I will make you lose your head!"

"As ordered!"

Prince Qi's Mansion

"Yanqing, was it your people who arranged for someone to do this?"

Li Yanzhao wiped the sweat from his forehead and sat down on the chair in a hurry.

"how come!"

Li Yanqing was also very puzzled, "Didn't you arrange today's event?"

Li Yanzhao stopped and looked at Li Yanqing.

"It's not you?"

"Third brother, can I still lie to you?"

The two looked at each other, it was a cold winter day, and they felt like they were in a furnace.

"The prince is back?"

Ah Yan stood up and asked, "Why did you come back early?"

Li Chang was very anxious. "Somehow, the furnace tripod broke, and the prince canceled the sacrifice in anger."

"Not good!" Ayan looked at the token in her hand.

"We're not ready yet!"

"The people outside the city will arrive at 3:30 pm!"

"Now that the prince is back, it's difficult for us to leave the palace!"

Li Chang was supposed to go with Li Yanzhao to offer sacrifices today, but before leaving he used the excuse of feeling unwell and did not go.

"Sister, we have to leave today. We can't wait any longer!"

If you miss this opportunity, you may never have another chance!

The capital is currently in the midst of a sacrificial ceremony and the situation is unstable; they can take advantage of the chaos to leave the capital.

"Let's go, we have to go!"

Ah Yan made up her mind, "According to the original plan, we must go!"

She touched her belly. It was cold now, so she wore thicker clothes to cover it up.

Fortunately, Li Yanzhao has been busy these days and has no time to come and see her.

If Li Yanzhao gets in the mood one day, she won't be able to hide it anymore.

She was in a state of panic all day, fearing that this might bring her death!
"Let's go our separate ways. I'll go out of the city gate first and wait for you at the teahouse three miles away from the city gate!"

Ah Yan pulled Li Chang and said, "Ah Zai, you have to come later, be very careful!"

"Don't worry, sis!"

Li Chang held Ah Yan's hand and said, "If I haven't arrived by noon, you can leave first!"

Ah Yan was about to shake her head but Li Chang stopped her.

"Sister, go find Erzhu first, I'll follow soon!"

"I'm a grown man, so it will be easier for me to get out of this situation!"

However, Ayan disagreed. As Li Yanzhao's personal bodyguard, he had to be by Li Yanzhao's side all the time.

This makes it even harder to escape.

"Sister, don't waste time!"

The mood of parting suddenly surrounded the two of them, and mist formed in Ayan's eyes.

"Ah, you must come!"

"I won't leave until I can wait for you!"

When Ayan left the palace, she took nothing with her. She led her maid to the noisy street.

The people around me were still discussing what happened during today's sacrifice.

All of this has nothing to do with her anymore!

By leaving the hustle and bustle of Beijing, she can live the life she wants with Ah Zai and the baby in her belly.

"girl!"

"Would you like to go shopping in the clothing store?"

Ayan turned around and saw the maid's smiling face pretending to be strong.

But there were tears in her eyes, and she looked a little ferocious.

"Flower, you."

Huaer sniffed and said, "Go to the clothing store."

"When you go in, you are the prince's concubine, and when you come out, you are yourself!"

It turns out that she knows everything.

"I was knocked unconscious and I don't know anything!"

Ah Yan put the bracelet on her wrist into Hua Er's hand and said, "Then wait for me outside!"

Hua'er wanted to refuse, but Ayan shook her head to stop her.

She lowered her voice, "Someone!"

There were people watching the two of them whenever they went out, so naturally they wouldn't be delayed for long.

"Don't worry, girl. Just go ahead and leave everything to me!"

Ayan glanced at the innocent and simple little girl, and made up her mind to go to the clothing store as planned.

After a long time, the guard saw that Ayan still didn't come out, so he went into the clothing store.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw flowers lying on the table.

"Flower, flower, wake up!"

After calling several times, the flower finally woke up slowly.

"It's not good, it's not good!"

She stood up suddenly, but suddenly hugged her head and was about to fall to the ground.

The guard quickly pulled her up and asked, "What's going on? Where is the girl?"

Huaer touched her head and cried anxiously.

"Girl, we just entered the store and I was knocked unconscious!"

"Some criminals must have kidnapped the girl. Go and save her!"

The two guards looked at each other and walked out with the flowers.

As soon as he reached the door, a guard blew a whistle and several people came quickly.

"The girl is missing, go chase her!"

Huaer was brought to Li Yanzhao.

She fell to her knees with a plop.

"Your Highness, it's all my fault for not taking good care of the girl!"

Li Yanzhao glanced at her and instantly nailed the flower to the ground.

"Tell me, which direction did she go!"

Huaer nodded immediately.

"I was knocked unconscious, I didn't know anything."

"enough!"

Li Yanzhao stood up and asked, "Do you all think I'm a fool?"

"Someone, sell this bastard servant out!"

"Li Chang is out too?"

Wang Xiaobo hesitated, but finally nodded.

"out!"

"The two of them must have agreed on a meeting place. Search it for me!!"

Li Yanzhao pinched his brows. Are they all going to betray him?

"Your Majesty, a sacrifice just happened today, so we should be cautious!"

"Besides, the two of them should have left the city by now, let's split up and chase them!"

Wang Xiaobo said this cautiously, fearing that he might get into trouble.

Li Yanzhao shook his head, he was really confused because of his concern.

The most basic practices have been ignored.

"Xiaobo, you and Huang Long take the others to chase them separately."

"Remember, if you want to see someone alive, you want to see a corpse if you die!"

Wang Xiaobo shuddered, "Yes, sir!"

Seeing Li Chang riding his horse closer and closer, Ayan finally let go of her worries.

Li Chang threw the reins to the shop owner and went over to grab Ayan.

"Sister, we have to act quickly!"

Ah Yan nodded, and the two of them went into the shop to dress up.
