The confused imperial physician was sent away just like that.

As soon as Qinghuan sent the person out, she immediately closed the door and walked quickly to the bed.

"Princess, my servant... got... the jade seal, but... my servant was...discovered."

Hua Manman lifted the quilt and sat up: "King Wuzhang found you? Where is he now?"

Qinghuan replied truthfully: "The slave... knocked him out...."

After she finished speaking, she lowered her head, looking very disturbed.

She messed things up and caused a lot of trouble for the princess.

Hua Manman didn't mean to blame her, and said calmly.

"Since we've been discovered, we can't stay here any longer, let's go."

In fact, her original plan was to leave the palace as soon as possible after stealing the jade seal, but now she just advanced her departure plan.

Qinghuan helped the princess to get up, and the two walked out quickly.

They went to the study and opened the mechanism familiarly.

The bookshelves slowly opened to both sides, revealing a deep secret passage.

at the same time.

Liang Yong had already discovered King Wuzhang who had been knocked out.

He hurriedly helped King Wuzhang to the bed, and asked someone to call the imperial physician over.

The imperial physician gave Li Ying two needles.

Li Ying's mind finally became much clearer, but the pain in the back of his neck was still severe.

The imperial doctor applied medicine to the scar on the back of his neck and told him not to move around and to recuperate for a while.

However, how could Li Ying still be in the mood to recuperate at this time?

Enduring the pain, he stood up and ordered while getting dressed.

"Hand down the king's order, Qinghuan stole the jade seal without authorization, and arrest him immediately!"

After receiving the order, Habayashi immediately began to search intensively.

Regardless of the dissuasion of others, Li Ying went to the bedroom next door.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw that the bed was empty.

The flowers are gone forever.

In fact, when Li Ying saw Qinghuan stealing the jade seal, he already guessed that Qinghuan was instigated by Hua Manman.

They should leave immediately after getting the jade seal.

He was mentally prepared for this.

However, when Li Ying saw the empty room with his own eyes, Li Ying still had a feeling that a piece of his heart had been ripped out.

Sadness, anger, grievance, disappointment.

These emotions rushed to his heart, making his eye sockets gradually turn blood red.

He should have thought of it earlier.

It is impossible for a person like him who has been burdened with hatred from the moment he was born to receive real care.

No one will stay with him sincerely.

Not before, not now, and never in the future.

Liang Yong asked cautiously.

"Princess Zhao should not be far away, should I send someone to chase her?"

Li Ying stared at the empty bed, and forcefully squeezed out a word between his teeth.

"Even if you dig three feet into the ground, find them!"

...

Inside the secret passage.

Qinghuan supported Huamanman and walked forward quickly.

There is no fork in the secret road, so they don't have to worry about getting lost.

Just follow the secret path and go straight ahead to find the exit.

Soon they saw a small door.

Push open the door and go out, and there is a flower garden outside.

There was no one in the garden at this time.

Qinghuan walked through the flower garden with the flowers in his arms, and saw the waterwheel parked in the corner.

The two were about to get into the waterwheel and hide when they saw a group of Habayashi guards running towards them not far away.

The two of them were so scared that they quickly left the waterwheel and got into the utility room next to them.

The Habayashi guards began to search.

Not only did they search the flower garden inside and out, but they didn't even let go of the waterwheel parked in the corner.

Hua Manman and Qinghuan, who were hiding in the firewood room, saw the scene through the crack of the door, and they were both a little scared.

If they hid in the waterwheel just now, they must have been discovered by now.

But it didn't take long for them to rejoice when they noticed the Habayashi guards walking towards the utility room.

It looked like they were planning to search the utility room as well.

Hua Manman and Qinghuan exchanged their busy schedules to find a hiding place.

But there are only so few in the utility room, and there is no suitable hiding place at all.

Hua Manman is very anxious.

Is this about to be discovered?

Qinghuan had already prepared for the worst, she stepped forward to protect the princess behind her.

If Habayashi Wei rushed in later, she would risk her life to hold him back, so as to give the princess a chance to escape.

At this moment, voices sounded outside.

It's like someone is coming.

Hua Manman approached the door again, and peeked outside through the crack of the door.

She saw Mu Qing talking anxiously to the Habayashi guards.

"I seemed to see someone running over there just now. Among them was a woman with a big belly, who looked very much like Princess Zhao. Could it be they are the people you are looking for?"

Habayashi Wei hurriedly asked: "Which direction did they run?"

Mu Qing pointed in the direction of Xuande Gate.

"They ran over there, probably wanting to leave the palace through Xuande Gate."

The Habayashi guards immediately turned around and ran towards Xuande Gate quickly.

They must stop people before Princess Zhao leaves the palace!

After everyone had left, Hua Manman dared to open the door and walked out with Qinghuan.

Mu Qing: "My servant just heard that King Wuzhang's jade seal was stolen, and he sent people everywhere to arrest you.

The servant girl was worried that something might happen to you, so she hurried over.

Unexpectedly, just in time for this incident, the servant girl thought of a way to distract him. "

Hua Manman thanked her.

"Fortunately, you came in time, otherwise Qinghuan and I would have been miserable."

Mu Qing glanced at the waterwheel placed in the corner, and said helplessly.

"Now Habayashi guards are arresting people everywhere, and all palace gates should have been closed.

At this time, it is impossible to get out of the city.

Let's go back to hide in the secret passage first, think about what to do next? "

Hua Manman nodded and said yes.

The three returned to the secret passage, and the candles on the incense table were still burning quietly.

Mu Qing put incense on the woman in the portrait as usual.

Hua Manman had walked so much just now, her legs were already trembling.

Qinghuan helped her sit on the futon to rest.

Mu Qing looked at Hua Manman, her eyes fell on her swollen belly, and she couldn't help asking.

"How does the princess feel now? Is there anything uncomfortable?"

Hua Manman exhaled slowly, trying to relax her body: "I'm fine."

Mu Qing: "What is the princess' plan for the future?"

Hua Manman: "In this situation, we will definitely not be able to leave the palace. We can only stay in this secret passage for a while."

Mu Qing sighed: "This is the only way to go now."

Hua Manman asked Qinghuan to take out the jade seal.

"Before Wu Wang can react, we have to send Yuxi to Concubine Zhen as soon as possible.

But Qinghuan and I are too eye-catching, as long as we show up, we will definitely be caught.

I can only entrust this to you. "

She solemnly put Yuxi into Mu Qing's hands, her eyes were full of pleading.

Holding the heavy jade seal, Mu Qing was quite surprised.

Unexpectedly, Princess Zhao would hand over such an important thing to her.

It seems that Princess Zhao really trusts her.

Mu Qing was quite moved.

She promised: "The servant will not let you down."
