Chapter 195: CH 195

Following down the flight of steps, he soon arrived at the dark prison, Xiao Yi Chen frowned looking at the empty cell, the lock had been opened and dropped in the corner, , he turned to look at the two guards watching over the prison who dared to rush over on hearing nose, seeing the empty iron cell and the cold demon like Xiao Yi Chen, the two guards' legs turned weak and knelt on the ground begging for forgiveness.

Xiao Yi Chen's ice cold voice sounded from above them: "Where did you two go just now?"

The guards looked at each other, one of the guard's said: "We were guarding the entrance just now, for some reason we fell asleep, when we woke we heard there was noise from the cell, we didn't expect...your majesty to have come."

Xiao Yi Chen's lips raised into a cold smile, his hands underneath his sleeves turned into fists.

Xiao Yi Chen: Ji Ling Xue you really are still daring, you caused chaos as soon as you come into the palace, and ran off with Xiao Yi Mo, how much can you bear not to see me?

Taking in a deep breath, Xiao Yi Chen said in one: "Seal the palace gates, no one can leave, search."

The palace wasn't huge but it wasn't small either, defence was the strictest, wanting to escape from under his nose, it was easier said then done?

Xiao Yi Chen had given such an order, a quarter of an hour later the wide open palace gates were closed, the palace guards tripled, one by one each palace was searched, not an inch forgotten.

Ding Si Fang who was about to leave the palace was also locked in the palace, as someone who had nothing to do he also joined in the search, he only heard a serious criminal locked up in a secret prison had committed another crime by kidnapping a maid and escaped, his majesty had issued an order so the person must be very important, it was related to  the fate of the nation.

Ling Lan entered the house holding a bunch of peach blossoms, Yi Yun who was leaning against the window reading turned to glance at her, "Didn't you just leave, what happened?"

Ling Lan said: "Mistress, for some reason the imperial guards have suddenly increased two-folds today, they made this servant lack the mood to pick flowers."

Yi Yun calmly turned a page in her book: "Maybe an assassin entered the palace, don't go running about either, stay in Zaizhaohua palace until it's safe."

"An assassin in the palace?" This was in broad daylight, the assassin wanted to die this badly.

Yi Yun said: "Dust covers a vast territory, new emperor, new officials, his majesty haven't ascended the throne for long, quite a few people are unhappy with his majesty ascending the throne, assassinations will be very normal in the future, don't make a fuss about nothing either."

Ling Lan scratched her head, "Mistress, you're really calm."

At this moment, Ji Ling Xue and Xiao Yi Mo were in a secret tunnel in the palace, just as Ji Ling Xue previously thought, the successive generations of emperors would know about the secret tunnels, the switch was under the table in the imperial study, the distance between the secret prison and the imperial study wasn't short, fortunately Xiao Yi Mo was very familiar with the layout of the palace, it didn't take him much effort to avoid the imperial guards.

Ji Ling Xue held an oil lamp following behind Xiao Yi Mo, she asked: "I heard the day Xiao Yi Chen forced the abdication you didn't use the secret tunnels to escape, rather you sat on the throne in the main hall and waited for him to arrive, why?" What great confidence did he have that Xiao Yi Chen wouldn't kill him?

Xiao Yi Mo walking in front of her halted, a bitter smile on his face, "I am the ruler of a country, not a coward, even facing life or death, I need to be neither obsequious nor supercilious."

Ji Ling Xue's lips twitched, "Isn't there a saying, while the green hills last, there'll be wood to burn? Do you not want to take back the country and change the tides?"

Xiao Yi Mo turned to give Ji Ling Xue a questioning look, he smiled: "Do you not want Xiao Yi Chen on the throne? He is the ruler of the country, you are the empress of a country who is incomparable and captured the imagination of all?"

Ji Ling Xue shook her head, "I'm unlucky, I'm not interested in the position, truth to be told, I'm already dead in the eyes of others." It was when she was framed for Ji Yu Qing's death and had been locked up in the prince's prison by Xiao Yi Chen, her heart had already died.

Xiao Yi Mo's interest seemed to raise, he continued to ask Ji Ling Xue what happened, even though he wasn't a gossipy person, but he had always been listening out for news on Xiao Yi Chen and Ji Ling Xue's relationship.

Ji Ling Xue laughed, "The past is the past there's no need to talk about it."

Xiao Yi Mo said: "Do you want to know, how important you are to Xiao Yi Chen?"

Ji Ling Xue said: "I already knew, after I died he became the emperor, his complexion seems quite good, he doesn't look like he's grieving."

Xiao Yi Mo chuckled, the two smoothly arrived at the exit, the exit was a sliding stone door, Xiao Yi Mo pushed the switch, the stone door slowly opened, it was also the first time he used the secret tunnel, he didn't know where this led.

The stone door opening suddenly allowed the sunlight to hit the two person's eyes, Xiao Yi Mo squinted, now he could see clearly, this was a small alley by the palace gates, it didn't actually lead outside the palace.

Xiao Yi Mo looked into the distance towards the palace gates: "The palace gates...we can't leave..." Distress filled his voice, but he expected this, Xiao Yi Chen's actions were as quick as he thought.

Ji Ling Xue said: "Then what can we do?" They couldn't just stay in the secret tunnel, even though the tunnel was safe there was no food.

Xiao Yi Mo suddenly had a strange smile on his lips, "That'll depend on you." After he spoke he wrapped his arm around Ji Ling Xue's neck again, he jumped up on the wall.

Ji Ling Xue secretly rolled her eyes, why is this trick being used again, older brother, can you not say something before you do it, at least I'll be mentally prepared.

Xiao Yi Mo's movement no doubt exposed himself, in an instant the imperial guards surrounded him and stopped him from escaping, lances were pointed at Xiao Yi Mo, on guard.

Xiao Yi Mo said: "Call Xiao Yi Chen over!"

The commander of the imperial guards said: "Xiao Yi Mo you're surrounded, you can't escape, why don't you give up and be taken in, we won't make things difficult for you!"

Xiao Yi Mo laughed strangely: "Do you know who the woman in my hands is?"

The commander of the imperial guards sneered: "Isn't it just a maid, a lowly servant's life is like grass, you want to use her life to bargain an escape, you ought to have calculated more carefully!"

Xiao Yi Mo lowered his head to look at Ji Ling Xue, currently Xiao Yi Chen was covered in dust and dirt, her maid outfit was also very striking, they couldn't be blamed for not being able to recognise her.

Ji Ling Xue very discreetly revealed her identity: "I am Ji Ling Xue." Just now in the secret prison, she was almost suffocated to death by Xiao Yi Mo, a wise man submits to circumstances, she didn't want Xiao Yi Mo to be forced to die along with her.

"Ji Ling Xue? Who is Ji Ling Xue?" Someone amongst the guards asked in confusion.

"Ji...Ling Xue...isn't that princess Chen...isn't that the empress..." Someone uttered.

"Isn't the empress dead?" Another suspicious voice said.

"Yes, the empress is dead, then why is the woman here calling herself Ji Ling Xue?"

"Should we report to his majesty before we make another move?" The commander of the imperial guards came to this conclusion.

Very soon a guard was running towards the imperial study, the sun gradually shifted west, Ji Ling Xue was shivering standing on the wall as a hostage, time passed very slowly for her, it was so slow it was torturous, she had thought of a thousand situations when she might meet Xiao Yi Chen again, but she never imagined such an embarrassing situation as today.

Ji Ling Xue looked up at the sky, sighing silently, Xiao Yi Mo's teasing voice came from beside her ear, "You're going to see your beloved emperor soon, aren't you a little excited?"

Ji Ling Xue: It wasn't excitement as such, she was more melancholy, would Xiao Yi Chen really let Xiao Yi Mo go because of her?

He was a reasonable person, he has always been good at making the right decisions, it wasn't the first or second time he made use of her, letting Xiao Yi Mo go was very dangerous for him, this concerned the establishment and maintenance of his country?

Xiao Yi Mo said: "I know what you're thinking, you're thinking Xiao Yi Chen will abandon you..."

Ji Ling Xue turned to glance at Xiao Yi Mo.

Xiao Yi Mo smiled: "I guessed right...why don't we make a bet, bet on Xiao Yi Chen's heart, would he give up this country for you?"

Ji Ling Xue asked: "I'm not betting." She was not certain enough or have the confidence.

Xiao Yi Mo said: "Life is dull, if you don't place a bet how would you know your worth?"

Ji Ling Xue said: "Reverse psychology doesn't work on me, I can't afford to lose, you used to be the ruler of a country so you can see through people, even if you lose, you'll only die, it's worth it for you."

Xiao Yi Mo said: "You really understand me, from your words, no matter what Xiao Yi Chen decides, I won't kill you, a man does not go back on his word."

While the two of them were talking a guard hurried back: "His majesty wasn't in the imperial study, I asked the prime minister for instructions, he said the empress is already dead, this person's word can't be trusted."

Ji Ling Xue's heart turned cold, Xiao Yi Chen you actually don't dare to face me?

Xiao Yi Mo's smile gradually stiffened: "Ji Ling Xue, we've lost!"

A thousand bows and crossbows were already aimed at Ji Ling Xue from the opposite palace wall, Ji Ling Xue suddenly smiled, the next moment she pushed Xiao Yi Mo aside and leapt, the sharp lances of the guards flashed coldly under the light, she wondered how painful it would be when it pierced her flesh!

It happened suddenly, the archer forgot their position, Xiao Yi Mo reached out to the empty air, if Ji Ling Xue waited for him to rescue her, she would be dead, Xiao Yi Chen very quickly arrive, with a turn he had leapt outside the palace wall.

Ji Ling Xue had her eyes closed, the sound of wind rushing into her ears, suddenly, her fall was halted, Ji Ling Xue opened her eyes and looked, she saw a belt wrapped around her waist, at the other end of the belt, was a fluttering white cloth, the sun shone behind him, even though she couldn't see his face, Ji Ling Xue recognised that figure, wasn't it the emperor the guard had just spoken of Xiao Yi Chen.

Xiao Yi Chen also looked at Ji Ling Xue, all kinds of emotions seemed to fill his dark abyss eyes, Xiao Yi Chen pulled with strength, Ji Ling Xue flew up in the air and landed in his arms, the two saw each other clearly.

Xiao Yi Chen: Ji Ling Xue, do you hate me that much, so much so you would rather kill yourself than wait for me to save you?

Ji Ling Xue: Xiao Yi Chen, how much do you care about me? Do you know if you came a little later, I would have died.

The two looked at each other, no one had any intention to speak first, the guards beneath the wall looked at each other in dismay, what was happening in front of them, why did the emperor suddenly appear on the palace wall?

Xiao Yi Mo needed to be apprehended, they didn't dare to move without the emperor's order.

Xiao Yi Chen returned to his senses first and turned to the guards: "Give chase!"

The guards dispersed in confusion, no one dared to remain and watch.

Ji Ling Xue said: "Let me go."

Xiao Yi Chen held Ji Ling Xue's hand tightly, he stared into Ji Ling Xue's eyes, with red eyes he asked: "Do you have nothing to say to me?"
