Chapter 24
Lady Xie's Elopement
Lan Wangji went back to sleep again. It seemed he was still not awake.
Wei Ying got up from bed, having covered himself with the quilt,he went towards his majesty's wardrobe.
Wei Ying-- ( muttering to himself ) " I am serving in your bed chamber as an injured man. Is it too much to take some clothes from you? "
He kept rummaging and after a lot of search, found one that fits him.
Wei Ying-- I like the colour of this one. Its style and size suits me, and it looks common.
It was a light blue coloured hanfu and after wearing it, Wei Ying strode through the door.
Wei Ying ( wondering ) Odd. Why is Yan Gui sleeping so deep today? Generally, he is a light sleeper.
Whatever, let him be. I am leaving.
But, Why are there no guards?"
____________________
The Eunuch at the palace -- " I don't know what his Majesty was thinking, Dispatching all the Guards away....
It will take at least 2 hours for the New Imperial Guards to arrive, even with fast horses from the palace.
Such a huge dwelling palace remains Unguarded. It is not safe. If someone with bad intentions knew this, then he could come and go as he pleases.
Wei Ying heard this and thought,
" Does that mean he too can escape if he wants to?"
Wei Ying-- I do not remember what exactly has happened to me, but the pain seems to have left my body.....
Feels like I have come back from the gate of hell.
And if there's no remedy for the ninth princess's venomous insect, then my so called Escape Plan is just a waste of time.
I might as well take this chance and escape now. And maybe I could see my mother and little brother before I die.
Will Yan Gui miss me? Will he lement my death?
Whatever--- why am I thinking about this now!
I should hurry and leave.
The Eunuch saw Wei Ying's running figure from behind.
Eunuch-- That Robe--- It was the common robe his majesty used to wear when he was still Yan King.
He called out--
Your Majesty, why didn't you summon me after you were awake!
Your Majesty-----
Then the Eunuch thought,
" Wait a second.
His majesty has long stopped wearing light coloured robes. Although he looks more handsome when he wears them.
Maybe his majesty wants to impress Lady Xie with a Surprise?
I should not interrupt their little game.
I will pretend, I saw nothing----"

On the other hand-
Wei Ying reached the palace walls.
" There isn't even one Guard in my way. How lucky am I!
Mother, brother, Wait for me!
Wei Ying started to climb, but soon felt tired.
Wei Ying-
" Climbing walls is really tiring....
Eh....
His hands slipped but it was caught just in time.
Yan Zichen-- What are you doing?
Wei Ying-- ( astonished to see him ) Yan Zichen!?
Yan Zichen-- Yes it's Me.
You wanna leave? I can help you.
Regarding the venomous insect inside you, I can also help you get it out.
Wei Ying-- ( feeling unsure and apprehensive ) Why would you help me? What's in it for you?
And..... And you have discovered my venomous insect? "
Yan Zichen pulled him closer.
" Yes. You had a poison episode and was in a coma for 4 days. It was me who suppressed your venomous insect with the underground Cold Ice Pond.
Suddenly there was a shout from the guards.
" Who's on the back?"
Wei Ying was alarmed and worried. He looked at Yan Zichen expectantly.
" You said you will help me, then please help me get away from here!
Yan Zichen-- ( happy and satisfied) Good. I'll.
And in seconds Yan Zichen pulled Wei Ying in his arms and crossed the wall.

Inside the Bed Chamber.
Lan Wangji opened his eyes after a wonderful and memorable night, he was happy.
He looked beside him, but couldn't see the Ninth Princess.
Lan Wangji-- Where is he ? Where did he go so early?
Impatient, he called the Eunuch. He had a bad premonition.
Lan Wangji-- Where's Lady Xie?
Eunuch-- Your Majesty, weren't you looking for Lady Xie earlier?
Why did you come out of the palace...
Lan Wangji frowned.
His eyes emitting Fire.
With his intelligence, he quickly understood what must have happened while he was sleeping.
But he had to make sure.
