Chapter 14

"Yes Yes."

Tong Fuwen hurriedly replied respectfully: "I am Tong Fuwen, what can I do for you two officials?"

"We are ordered by the Empress Dowager to pick you up and settle down in the posthouse." The officer and soldier said expressionlessly.

Hearing this, Tong Fuwen was overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Well, I'll have you two officials to lead the way."

As soon as they arrived in Lijing, did the old lady know about it? !

Tong Shiying suddenly felt threatened.

It seems that she has to act faster, otherwise it will be difficult to leave after entering the palace.

After settling everything, in the room, Tong Shiying opened the bag that Lan Xin had packed for her, and found that besides clothes, there were jewelry, jewelry, and bank notes inside.

It turned out that there was money in the baggage.

Just to put it bluntly, she is also a rich daughter, so how could she not give her a tael of silver.

Tong Shiying picked it up and looked at it. The value marked on it was 100 taels, and she counted it, and there were ten in total.

That is 1000 taels.

Although I don't know what the currency system of this dynasty was like, but 1000 taels should be a lot, right? !

"Dong dong!"

There was a knock on the door.

"Who?"

Tong Shiying immediately packed up her things and put them aside.

"Miss."

Lan Xin's voice came from outside the door: "The hot water is ready, you can take a bath."

"Come in." Tong Shiying said lightly.

Lan Xin entered the room, put the hot water on, and was about to leave when Tong Shiying suddenly called out to her: "Lan Xin..."

"Miss, what else can I order?" Lan Xin looked up at her.

"Nothing, let's go out."

Tong Shiying opened her mouth, but finally said nothing.

What can I say, take care?

That little girl has to make a fuss for everyone to know.

Forget it, it was a chance encounter, she just borrowed the light of the second young lady of the Tong family.

There is no need to worry so much!

"Oh." Lan Xin pursed her lips and exited the room.

"You don't need to guard the door anymore, go rest."

Tong Shiying's voice came faintly from the room.

"Yes, ma'am."

Lan Xin replied, for some reason, she suddenly felt a little uneasy.

She glanced at the closed door, then slowly turned and left.

Tong Shiying took a bath to relieve the fatigue of traveling these days, and then chose a dark robe to change into.

There are a lot of men's clothes in the baggage, which were all prepared by Lan Xin before departure.

Now, just waiting until the dead of night, she can leave quietly.

At any rate, after such a trip, she always had to walk around to see the unique customs of ancient times.

After dinner, Tong Shiying paced leisurely in the room, secretly observing the movement outside.

Seeing that the lights outside are still brightly lit, patrolling officers and soldiers pass by from time to time, wondering how often they pass by...

Gradually, she found that the officers and soldiers on patrol appeared less and less frequently, and the intervals between them became longer and longer.

She estimated that this time period was probably in the middle of the night.

Before dinner, she had surveyed. Her room was at the back, only a corridor away from the backyard. The backyard wall is not high, so it should be easy to climb up.

She packed up her things, and went out the door with that small bundle on her back, her movements were crisp and neat.

Walking straight along the road in memory, suddenly, she swayed and felt dizzy for a second.

She immediately supported the mahogany pillar next to her and stabilized her body. She felt blank for a moment, as if she had forgotten where she should go.
