In my past life, I was buried alive! Reborn, I'll overturn the capital.

Chapter 132 Leaving the City

In front of a pavilion in the suburbs, a guard leads a horse and carries a package in his hand.

Qin Congyu instructed the guards to hand the reins to Jiang Qingyue, along with the package.

"Princess……"

"Qingyue, I have prepared everything for you. You should leave as soon as possible. Leave the palace to me. Go find General Gu or find another place to settle down. The farther away you are, the better."

Jiang Qingyue accepted the things Qin Congyu had prepared for her, thanked the princess, mounted her horse, and took her leave.

Meanwhile, after Qin Congyu left, the guards quickly went in and helped Qin Jinghao up.

As time went on, he was able to move around a bit more.

"You're all useless. Why didn't you stop your aunt?" Qin Jinghao had long since abandoned Qin Congyu, so how did she get out of the palace and even find Jiang Qingyue?

Now look what's happened; the duck that was about to be eaten has flown away.

And Jiang Qingyue, he will absolutely not let her go!

Upon returning to the palace, Qin Jinghao immediately prepared to have an arrest warrant drafted.

When the emperor learned of this, he stopped him.

At this juncture, even if Jiang Qingyue did something, it wouldn't be appropriate.

"Father, I cannot swallow this insult. Jiang Qingyue has repeatedly toyed with me, and I absolutely cannot let her get away with this!"

Qin Jinghao was so angered by Jiang Qingyue that he lost his temper and spoke without thinking.

"A woman is out in the world alone. You have many ways to make things happen to her, so why do you have to use such a stupid method!"

The emperor scolded Qin Jinghao, and Qin Jinghao had no choice but to agree.

Back at the East Palace, Qin Jinghao suppressed his anger and became expressionless. A guard stepped forward and handed Qin Jinghao a note, "Your Highness, Jiang Qingyue is currently on her way to Qiancheng Mountain."

Qin Jinghao took the note, looked at it, and then burned it before the candle flame.

Jiang Qingyue, I was merely playing along. If I let you go and actually succeeded, it would be a waste of the fun.

"I hope Father hasn't suspected anything?"

"Your Highness, rest assured, His Majesty has not discovered anything."

Qin Jinghao's impulsiveness, irritability, and even a series of absurd methods he used to win Jiang Qingyue's heart led everyone to believe that he was a good-for-nothing prince who had nothing to offer except for his status.

He wanted his father to think that he was useless and depended on his father in everything; otherwise, given his father's suspicious nature, he wouldn't even trust his own son.

However, what they didn't know was that all of this was a pretense, designed to lower people's guard so that he could act secretly and escape more quickly if he were identified.

"Your Highness, what should we do next?" the guard asked, seeking instructions.

Qin Jinghao took a step forward, gazing at the sky, which seemed so distant yet so close...

"How could this road be smooth sailing? Let's cause her some trouble and delay her arrival. As for what comes next... the real show is yet to come!"

Gu Linsen, in the end, your military power will only belong to me! And Qin Xuanyu, my good imperial uncle, now that you've handed me leverage, I have to return the favor.

Qin Jinghao revealed a sinister smile.

After all, as the crown prince, he cannot be too foolish, otherwise, he will not be able to hold onto this position!

Meanwhile, Jiang Qingyue was constantly on the road.

Actually, even if *** hadn't made arrangements for her, she would have gone anyway. Now that *** has made arrangements, it saves her from wasting time constantly fighting wits with these people in the palace.

"Xu~"

Suddenly, a cavalry appeared in front of Jiang Qingyue, blocking her path.

These people were dressed in a rough and unrefined manner, with rather ferocious faces and murderous intent in their eyes, which was enough to show that their hands were stained with a lot of blood.

Jiang Qingyue was on high alert. Regardless of whether the group ahead was encountered suddenly or pre-arranged, she had to deal with them cautiously.

"Young lady, where are you going all by yourself?" One of the leaders, a burly man with a thick beard, rode forward two steps on his horse.

Jiang Qingyue wasn't going to waste any more words with this group of people, so she turned her horse around and prepared to leave.

But just as she turned her horse around, a group of people came from behind, surrounding Jiang Qingyue from both sides and blocking her way out.

On one side was a river with no way to go, and on the other side was a dense forest that could not be entered on horseback. They had deliberately chosen this place.

"We have no past grievances or recent feuds. I don't care who instructed you. I'm giving you a chance to leave each other alone, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?" Jiang Qingyue was interrupted by the burly man with the thick beard before she could finish speaking. "Don't scare us, little lady. We're easily frightened, hahaha..."

Instantly, a burst of loud laughter erupted around them.

Jiang Qingyue closed her eyes, shook her head, and parted her lips slightly, "Nameless."

"Huh?" The people around were a little confused, not understanding what Jiang Qingyue was talking about.

But they soon received an answer.

Suddenly a figure flashed by, and before they could react, many of their companions had already fallen.

"Hurry up and do it!" The remaining men immediately drew their weapons, but they were no match for Wuming's speed. In no time, only the bearded man remained, sitting on his horse, looking around in terror.

"You...you..." He stared wide-eyed at Wuming in horror, never expecting that there was someone protecting this woman behind her.

He quickly dismounted and knelt before Jiang Qingyue, pleading, "Heroine, spare my life! Hero, spare my life! This has nothing to do with me; I was ordered to do it by others..."

The burly man with the thick beard didn't care about anything else and sold the person out in one fell swoop.

Although he didn't know who the other party was, someone who could produce so much silver must be either rich or noble.

He described the person who had asked him to do this, and after making sure he hadn't missed anything, he begged for mercy again, "Heroine, hero, that's really all I know, really!"

Jiang Qingyue already had a guess in her heart, but she still stretched out her hand and showed me the silver he had given you.

The burly man immediately pulled it out without hesitation and handed it to Jiang Qingyue, saying, "Here, this is it."

Jiang Qingyue looked at the appearance of the silver coins and the purity of the silver at the bottom, and it was indeed Qin Jinghao!

Jiang Qingyue sneered, which made the burly man with the thick beard shrink back, feeling uneasy.

"get out!"

The bearded man was immediately relieved and ran away as fast as he could, not even bothering to ride his horse.

Seeing that their leader had run away, the surrounding henchmen ignored their pain and scrambled to their deaths.

Jiang Qingyue looked at the silver in her hand, lost in thought...
