I could smell the faint scent of his wine, a scent I had never felt before.

Winter Solstice, the cathode is at its peak, Yang Qi is at its origin. The palace held large-scale events and banquets with the commoners. Everywhere there was a lively and carnival atmosphere, and the Golden Lotus Palace was no exception. Since tomorrow was the wedding day, the preparations for today were even more complicated. Imperial Concubine Chan specially took care of me by pointing out that her personal female officials had come to help me with my makeup. Naturally, I was grateful for the assistance of this Imperial Consort, and personally welcomed those two female officials to the palace.

After everyone had left, one of the female officials revealed a familiar smile, "Miss, we'll leave this place in a while!"

The female official was dressed in white. I turned my head to look at the other person. "She" was looking down at me with a very gentle expression. I couldn't help but laugh, because that female official was Yue Ze in disguise.

He had seen him play the role of an old man, and today, he had also seen him play the role of a palace maid. His acting skills were truly amazing. Yueze saw me laughing at him, so he raised his eyebrows and gave me a quick glare. Suddenly, I couldn't laugh anymore. As the ruler of a country, he has been wronged to this extent for me. How can I not be moved?

Bai Lin is already helping me with my makeup. Regarding today's escape, I still don't know their specific plans. With my identity, there's no way I can swagger out of the palace. I can only disguise myself as someone else. As for who I'm disguised as, Bai Lin and the others have never told me.

I wondered if she wanted to dress me up as a lady. However, there were strict requirements for the palace maids to leave as well. It wasn't so easy to fool them.

Just as he was wondering, the makeup was done. Looking at herself in the mirror, she saw that there was actually another Bai Lin. She had made me look like herself.

I was puzzled. "Bai Lin, you made me look like this. Could it be that you want me to use your identity to leave the palace?"

Bai Lin nodded. "After today's Winter Solstice banquet, all the performers will be sent out of the palace. When that happens, you can leave with His Majesty."

I turned to Yue Ze. "But, what should we do with Bai Lin?"

If I leave, isn't that Bai Lin who remains in the palace?

However, Yue Ze replied, "Don't worry, Bai Lin will dress up as a witch and leave the palace."

It turned out that Bai Lin also had another identity: the witch who had been summoned.

This was a pretty good idea, but there were many ears and ears in the Golden Lotus Palace. Moreover, I'm currently pretending to be Bai Lin. If I leave now, the Golden Lotus Palace will no longer have anyone to marry.

However, Bai Lin had already thought of this question. She quickly disguised herself and told me to take off my clothes in exchange for her. A quarter of an hour later, she was me, and I was a woman in white.

"I will stay here until you leave the palace. That way, no one will suspect your disappearance. " As she spoke, Bai Lin sat down in front of the mirror and put on a pose. She smiled and said, "It's a pity that even though I have the same makeup as Miss, I still don't have her free and easy temperament! I hope they don't find out! "

I don't know what to say. To save me, she would have preferred to be in prison, but I was not the person she was loyal to.

I am ashamed of my affection for her.

I still had to consider this plan, but Yueze had already pulled me outside. He firmly grabbed my arm and whispered, "If you don't want others to be suspicious, you'd better behave for me."

I was a little depressed, "Since you all have such a plan, you should have informed me earlier! At the very least, I have to have the right to know! "

Yue Ze glared at me. "What is the right to know? Bai Lian, can you not say anything strange? Hmph, you think I don't know your temper? When have you not been in the most dangerous line before? How many times have you been wounded to save your men? If I told you of this plan earlier, you wouldn't have cooperated, would you? "

It was really a black line. In fact, I really want to tell him, Yueze, you are wrong this time. I, Baishui, am a truly afraid of death, not to mention protecting my subordinates. If I were in danger, I would be the first to escape.

Alright, since they are treating me as their high and mighty General Bai Lian, I have no other choice. I followed Yueze outside, thinking that after I return to the Heaven Realm, I must find a way to return the real Bai Lian back to them. Otherwise, I am truly ashamed of the people in this world who have sacrificed themselves for me.

Because Chan Consort had thought it through in advance, Yue Ze and I, disguised as female officials, smoothly left the Golden Lotus Palace and entered the Agarwood Palace. At this moment, someone from the Agarwood Palace came to report that the entertainers from Pear Garden, who were going to perform for the banquet that night, had suddenly fallen ill. A few of them didn't look too good. When this matter was reported to Chan Fei, she was clearly very shocked. After discussing it with the various empress, she finally decided to immediately expel the infected person from the palace. "Wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu After all, it was a taboo for an artist to die in the palace. Furthermore, it could lead to illness.

"The few of you who will go to comfort the artists in the Pear Garden, as well as those infected people who have been sent out of the palace, must immediately find someone to treat them with all your might. If something bad happens, you must also properly pay for it."

Chan Concubine said a few words to her palace maid, at the same time, she gave us a look. I immediately understood that she wanted Yue Ze and I to take advantage of the chaos to return to Pear Garden so that we could regain our identity as' artistes' and leave the palace immediately!

I was excited and followed them to Pear Garden. Those palace maids who came with us to handle matters in the Pear Garden were also Imperial Concubine Chan's trusted aides. They didn't make things difficult for Yue Ze and me, so we were able to smoothly change our clothes and regain our identity as "artistes".

After receiving a large sum of money, we mixed in with the procession that left the palace, and because someone was sick we were specifically allowed to ride in a carriage. The carriage had a curtain that covered the golden world outside. When the cumbersome formalities for leaving the palace were completed and the heavy gate of the palace opened towards us, I saw Yueze breathe a small sigh of relief.

Outside the window was the dark sky and the bright lights of the night. The weather in the north was colder than that of Nan Yu. The moon was bright and clear, and stars could still be seen.

The carriage drove past the palace gate, emitting a dull rumbling sound. The heavily guarded guards eyed the people inside the carriage, the swords in their hands emitting a snow-white light. I was a little nervous. After all, this was the Cang Wu Palace, while Yueze was the Emperor of Nan Yu. If there was an accident, it would always be very dangerous. Fortunately, the guards did not move until the carriage had slowly driven out of the palace gate. When the city gates slammed shut behind me, I also let out a long sigh!

We have finally successfully left the palace!
