While the whole imperial guards got alerted, the three of them make a run for it. They must get out before the guards circle them!

Jiang Liu turned to look at their pursuers and saw Jiang Chen lagging behind. "Ah! Ah! Jiang Chen keep up!"

"Carry him!" Without stopping, Wei Yi Yi grunted and lifted Jiang Chen. She cannot control her strength and almost knock out Jiang Liu when she passed the child towards his back.

"That hurts!" Jiang Liu complained but still hold out his hands towards the back to support Jiang Chen. "Ack! Don't cling too tight!"

Wei Yi Yi then took off her outer robe and drape it over Jiang Chen's head to hide him. They could be caught but Lil One must not.

Startled by the sudden motion, Jiang Liu turned his head. He saw as the wind blows directly towards Wei Yi Yi face, clearing it and laying it bare. Her hair that initially lays down flatly at her back, the edge of her robes, and her wide sleeves were swaying by the tune of the wind.

And the wind carried a faint sense of her smell. Jiang Liu pursed his lips.

Wei Yi Yi slowed down a little and took the rear. She would look back towards their pursuers and then look in front. Worried that Jiang Chen might fell down, she readied herself to break his fall at any moment.

Not counting the first one running at their back, the guards started to form their five-man team to intercept the intruders.

Each time they turn a corner and saw a group running in their direction, Wei Yi Yi and Jiang Liu would feel their heart jumping at their throats.

Feeling his hair standing at its ends, Jiang Liu made a sharp turn. Jiang Chen felt dizzy with this bumpy ride. He fears he might bite his tongue off if he complains even a little bit!

They run towards another area and then Jiang Liu turn. Most of the arena are interconnected with each other. While it is easy to circle them, it is also easy for him to run around the guards.

After changing their paths a few times, they finally circled around the guards and found a side gate left open.

They run outside the martial hall immediately.

Once again, Jiang Liu turned to look. He found that the guards are still stubbornly pursuing them. He shrieked a few times as Wei Yi Yi covered her ears.

"Once we turn that corner, Ah Chen and I will hide while you pretend to pass! You lure them away then!" Wei Yi Yi picks up the pace and pointed forward. She could still run properly while Jiang Liu is panting heavily by now.

Jiang Liu scraped the idea immediately. "Absolutely no! Not even a shadow of me can be found a step outside my prince palace! Royal brother will kill me! What more if he found me inside the imperial palace?! He might as well bury me directly!"


Right, the three of them are runaways. Both of them are screwed. "Tsk. Big guts you have." Wei Yi Yi smirks. "Lil one, come here."

His aunt spread her arms open and so, Jiang Chen immediately let go of Jiang Liu and jump towards Wei Yi Yi's embrace.

Wei Yi Yi fixed her robes properly around Jiang Chen and securely carried her nephew away.

"Stop that!" Jiang Liu, who was kicked at the back once again, complained. "Where are you going, big sister?!"

"Towards the inner palace then pretend nothing happened!"

As long as she could reach towards her domain, she could walk it off. Even if they show up searching, she could pretend she's been in her palace all day!

"What about me?!"

"I don't know! I don't know! How could I know?! You were able to sneak in. Sneaking out should be easier!"

"Not with guards running after us! Take me with you and hide me away, big sister!"

"No thanks! You're a piece of walking evidence! It's hard to hide such grow up!"

The two adults were still able to throw remarks with each other while in a pinch. Jiang Chen took a mental note of this.

"What's all this commotion about! Why are you running around the imperial palace?!" A berating voice sounded. Jiang Chen couldn't be any less familiar to the owner of the voice. Before Wei Yi Yi could even turn her head to look, Jiang Chen is already peeking his head out.

'The dog came looking for his mistress.'

Xiao Yuan Xi successfully stopped the pursuing guards on their track momentarily. That split second where they turn their head to look at the head eunuch was enough for Tang Mei to grab the empress towards a hidden spot.

"Waaaahhh! Ah Mei, you're here! You're here!" Wei Yi Yi almost jumps Tang Mei. Too bad this little lady is sending her some death glares. "Cough. Cough. Why are you here?"

Tang Mei give her a heavy sigh. "This servant is worried for your majesty and wanted to take a look. Who could have thought I would find my mistress being chase by imperial guards? I have truly underestimated your majesty."

"Have I ever told you how you look like an angel sent from above?! Ah Mei you're so bright! You're shining!" Wei Yi Yi praise with her eyes full of admiration. Tang Mei's words got filtered in her ears and pass thru the other.

As long as her Boss does not catch on her mess, then all is well!

"Don't forget about this prince!" Jiang Liu crunched down between the two. If he didn't react fast, this pair of servant and mistress almost left him alone standing there!

Seeing the sixth prince, Tang Mei gulp down her words in fear. She has forgotten about this prince once again! And she had just casually reprimanded the empress!
