Chapter 75: Leaving the city at midnight!
Hu Zhenghe was so angry that he fell ill in bed. This period of time happened to be a blank period when there was nothing going on in the society.
So Xiao Yan decided to go to Yanzhou.
I want to go and see who this Marquis of Guanjun is and why, when I want military power, the old emperor asks me to go to a state to find a hereditary marquis.
Of course, Xiao Yan would not underestimate this marquis because of this. After all, the old emperor must have been confident enough to say so.
"Your Highness, are you really going to Yanzhou tomorrow?"
Ye Youyue asked worriedly while packing clothes for Xiao Yan.
Although Yanzhou is only a hundred miles away from the capital, it is dangerous to leave the palace.
" I must go. You should not go out during this period of time. No one will hurt you in this Donggong."
"If there is anything going on with Father, you must wait until Shang Haitang comes to pick you up in person before you can leave. No one else can do that."
"Also, if Xiao A Zi comes over during this period, tell her that I have something to do and I won't see her during this period."
"You taught her these poems."
As he said this, he handed Ye Youyue a stack of poems he had just written.
Xiao Yan did this to prevent Hu Shanxiang from knowing that he had left Beijing. He had to be on guard against this woman.
Although the two had an agreement, this person might bite back at the critical moment.
"Yes, I understand!"
"San De, come in!"
Hearing Xiao Yan calling him, Sande hurried in.
"Go and make arrangements. I will leave the palace late at night. I don't want anyone to know that I'm leaving. Can you do this?"
Sande thought for a moment and nodded, "No problem, but I'll have to inconvenience Your Highness!"
"There are vehicles leaving the palace for procurement at midnight. You can blend in and get out."
"But I don't know how to get out of the city gate."
Xiao Yan felt relieved after hearing this.
"As long as I can get out of the imperial city safely without anyone knowing, I have a way to handle the rest."
"Before I leave, I have something to tell you. First, tell everyone that I'm sick and won't be attending court for the next few days."
"Youyue, write a prescription for Sande and ask him to go to the Imperial Hospital to get medicine every day. It would be best if it is a prescription that can treat infectious diseases."
"No one will come to the East Palace this way."
Sande knew that once Xiao Yan's whereabouts were exposed, he would face endless pursuit.
Although Duan Tianya has been arranged to protect him, he may not be able to provide adequate protection by himself.
The only place that is safest is the palace, so we can only create some illusions.
"Yes, I understand!"
"I understand too!"
"Okay, Sande, let's disguise ourselves and take me there!"
After the disguise was completed, Sande brought Xiao Yan to the place where the imperial kitchen was purchasing.
"Everyone, this is the purchase from the East Palace. His Highness has not been feeling well recently, so he ordered her to buy some supplements. Please take some time."
"Don't worry about him when you come back. Just come back by yourself after you finish shopping."
In fact, they have brought more and more people out in recent years, and many people are unwilling to work in the palace, but they cannot leave, and can only leave through some special channels.
This is one of the ways to go out and purchase a fleet of vehicles. You just need to collect some money.
After saying this, Sande stuffed some silver into the hands of several people, and they immediately understood what he meant.
"Okay, Third Master, don't worry. I will do the job for you."
Xiao Yan also frowned. It seemed that Sande had done this kind of thing many times.
However, thinking that Sande was a popular figure among the emperor, and that someone would definitely come to him for help, he felt relieved.
It is best to just turn a blind eye to things like this. There is no need to delve into them. As long as it does not harm the real interests of the royal family, there is no need to care about these things.
"Okay, let's go."
Several people nodded: "Okay, let's go!"
After the convoy set off, several people said to Xiao Yan: "Brother, you have a lot of connections. There are not many people who can make the Third Eunuch speak in person. Can you show some respect?"
If anyone dared to say this to Xiao Yan at other times, he would be dragged out and chopped to pieces by Xiao Yan. But today he couldn't be exposed, so he could only endure it.
"Hey, everything in this palace is good, except that I can't find a wife. I'm not young anymore, I can't stay here all the time."
"We can only find some way to leave!"
They all smiled at each other and said, "I understand!"
Love affairs are not allowed in the palace. If anyone finds out, the person will surely be killed.
Therefore, many palace maids and eunuchs formed couples when they knew they could not leave the palace for the rest of their lives. This way they could have a home in the palace.
Of course, there were also people who used the same method Xiao Yan used today to leave. After all, it was normal for someone to die in the palace every day.
When they arrived at the imperial city gate, the guards began a strict inspection.
"Who is this person? Why have I never seen him before?"
The guard looked at Xiao Yan and asked.
The purchasing manager secretly stuffed some silver into the guard's pocket and said, "This is for the purchase of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the East Palace. Come with us to buy supplements. I hope you can be lenient with me, big brother."
The guard quietly grasped the silver in his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, no problem, let's go!"
In this way, Xiao Yan easily left the imperial city!
After walking for a distance and confirming that there was no curfew, the leader said, "Okay, brother, let's go here. It's safe here. I hope you can find a wife. Goodbye!"
"Thank you very much, goodbye!"
Xiao Yan did not stop but found a place to hide. He would go find Duan Tianya at dawn.
After dawn, Xiao Yan took a small bag and went to the place where he had agreed to meet Duan Tianya.
It was a small courtyard. Duan Tianya opened the door and let Xiao Yan in.
"Greetings, Your Highness!"
Xiao Yan shook his head and said, "Don't call me like that after you come out. Have you arranged it?"
Duan Tianya took out a set of Feiyu suit from a box and handed it to Xiao Yan.
"Your Highness, put this on. It will be convenient for us to leave the city. Then we can say we are out of town on official business. No one will dare to stop us and question us."
The deterrent power of the Jinyiwei was still very strong. Even if the Jinyiwei wanted to leave the city at night, the guards had to let them go.
"Okay, remember, when you put on this outfit, I am no longer the crown prince, but a member of the Imperial Guard. Be careful with how you address me, and I will no longer call myself that."
"Yes, I understand!"
After Xiao Yan changed his clothes, Duan Tianya gave him an embroidered spring sword.
"If you carry this with you, you can protect yourself if you encounter a bad guy."
Although the Jinyiwei are not easy to mess with, it doesn’t mean that everyone dares not to mess with them.
After all, the Jinyiwei have too many enemies and many people who hate them.
In this way, the two of them came all the way to the city gate!
