After becoming a princess, she fell in love with the emperor of the enemy country

Chapter 296: Stop Sentimental

Time passed minute by minute, and finally, He Xiang slowly opened her eyes.

After careful observation and making sure that there was no one else watching her, she turned around and cast her gaze towards He Yuehuan beside her.

The scene that came into view made He Xiang frown - He Yuehuan's clothes were a little messy, and her originally exquisite bun had become loose and scattered.

At this moment, He Yuehuan's face was flushed and her expression was panicked. Her hands were fiddling with the corners of her clothes helplessly, and her eyes revealed endless fear and helplessness.

He Xiang smiled slightly and said softly, "Miss He was so heroic in confronting Prince Yu just now, why is she so nervous now?"

He Yuehuan was stunned when he heard this, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.

She stared into He Xiang's eyes and asked slowly, "Who ordered you to do this? What's your purpose?"

He Xiang did not respond to He Yuehuan's question immediately, but searched around the house leisurely.

After a while, she really found a few sets of maid's clothes.

With a sly look on her face, she looked at He Yuehuan with interest and said teasingly, "Looking at this situation, I think I really underestimated the young lady! I guess the young lady must have sneaked out of the house many times on weekdays, right?"

He Yuehuan sighed helplessly and smiled bitterly: "To be honest, I already have someone I love. If it weren't for the Queen Mother's decree granting me marriage, I should be living a happy life with my beloved right now."

At this point, He Xiang paused for a moment, then asked, "So, do you resent the Queen Mother? Resent her for issuing this marriage decree without consulting you?"

He Yuehuan frowned and fell into deep thought.

After a moment, she shook her head gently and said firmly: "The Queen Mother betrothed me to Prince Yu, which is a great favor from heaven. If Prince Yu is really a good man, perhaps I can forget the man in my heart, respect him like a guest, live in harmony with him, spend this life with him, and grow old together."

He Xiang nodded slightly to show her agreement, and then handed a set of ordinary maid clothes to He Yuehuan, and whispered: "Hurry up and change into this dress, I will take you away from here later."

However, He Yuehuan was suddenly stunned, with a trace of anxiety on her face, and she almost blurted out: "What about Wang Qi? I can't abandon her!" Her worry for Wang Qi was beyond words.

He Xiang quickly picked up another maid's uniform and put it on herself skillfully, while responding, "We don't know what her condition is at the moment, but we can find a chance to sneak into the woodshed to check on her, and then make a long-term plan."

He Yuehuan knew that this was not the time to act on impulse, so she followed He Xiang to change clothes without hesitation.

She knew very well that Wang Qi had always been frail and sickly.

The fierce kick from Xuan Yemin just now caused her to faint on the spot. This shows how strong his force was, which was really distressing.

Moreover, if she left here, Wang Qi would have to bear Xuan Yemin's anger alone, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

There was no one around and everything was silent.

After quickly changing into maid uniforms, the two of them took advantage of the cover of night to move unhindered to the backyard.

The woodshed is next to the kitchen, and there are two strong guards standing by on full alert.

He Xiang tiptoed towards them, with a wooden stick in her hand.

She flashed and attacked as fast as lightning. Two muffled thuds were heard and the two guards fell to the ground defenselessly.

In the woodshed, the tied Wang Qi had already woken up, but she did not dare to act rashly. She could only struggle desperately to try to break free from the ropes on her body.

Just as she was concentrating on untying the rope, she suddenly heard a slight noise coming from outside the door.

Wang Qi was shocked. Without time to think, he immediately closed his eyes and pretended to be unconscious again.

However, what she never expected was that what she heard was He Yuehuan's familiar voice: "Wang Qi, Wang Qi, wake up..."

Wang Qi suddenly opened his eyes, and when he saw He Yuehuan in a maid's uniform, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

Then, she lowered her voice and said anxiously, "Why are you here? You finally escaped from the dead, why didn't you leave quickly and come back to save me? Isn't this just walking into a trap?"

He Yuehuan deftly untied Wang Qi's ropes while whispering, "How can I abandon you? We agreed to live and die together, so we should leave this place of trouble together."

Upon hearing this, Wang Qi was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes.

But before she could express her inner feelings, a piece of clothing suddenly flew towards her face.

At this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded: "Enough! Stop being sentimental! Hurry up and change your clothes and leave here."

Wang Qi struggled to remove the clothes from her face. When she looked up, she saw a woman also in a maid's uniform standing by the door, staring at what was happening in the yard.

"Who is she?" Wang Qi looked puzzled and couldn't help but ask He Yuehuan beside him.

However, He Yuehuan just shook her head helplessly and replied: "I don't know either, but the current situation seems unlikely to get worse than it is now. So, let's just follow her arrangements for now."

Hearing this, Wang Qi hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded slightly to show his agreement.

Then, she slowly began to change her clothes...

Just when Wang Qi was changing clothes, He Xiang went out alone to investigate the situation.

She cautiously approached the small door in the backyard of the palace, carefully observed the surroundings, and confirmed again and again that there were no guards guarding the place.

When she returned, Wang Qi had already prepared herself, and the two of them waited for her to come back and take them away.

Seeing this, He Xiang gently pushed open the door and said softly, "I just checked, there is no one guarding the back door."

Perhaps it was because the guards today were all frightened and terrified by Xuan Yemin, and they all huddled in the area around the princess's courtyard.

Because of this, they did not encounter a single guard on their way from the woodshed in the backyard to the small gate.

From time to time, she would run into a few servants and maids on night patrol, and He Xiang could usually deal with them in no time.

The three of them tiptoed towards the back door like thieves.

He Xiang secretly rejoiced in her heart. After finally arriving at her destination, she let out a breath and reached out to open the door without hesitation.

However, what she never expected was that when she opened the door, she bumped into Yuehua, who should have left long ago!
