My Lady is well

Chapter 168 Leaving the City

Shen Yueyao lowered her eyes slightly, and a barely perceptible light flashed in her eyes.

Time was running out at the moment, and after thinking about it for a while, she felt that the plan proposed by the person in front of her was worth a try.

She said decisively: "Just do as you say."

Qi Feng was surprised when he heard this. He stared at Shen Yueyao and asked in confusion.

"Didn't you just..."

Shen Yueyao ignored her, turned to look at Jin'er beside her, and whispered an instruction.

"Jin'er, go and help him disguise himself."

Jin'er glared at Qi Feng fiercely, pouting her lips and muttering.

"Do you really want to listen to him? Master, we don't have any tools to disguise ourselves right now."

Shen Yueyao looked at Qi Feng silently for a few seconds, thinking in her heart.

This man has delicate eyebrows and distinct facial features, especially his eyes, which are extremely bold and unrestrained. In addition, he has a youthful spirit, which makes him easy to remember.

After thinking for a moment, Shen Yueyao said.

"Cut off his hair and stick it on his face as a beard."

Jin Er nodded and said, "I understand."

Jin'er took out a pair of scissors. Qi Feng looked at Jin'er with a little suspicion, his eyes full of distrust, and couldn't help but question.

"Can you do this? Please don't make me look ugly."

Shen Yueyao glared at him unhappily, raised her long eyelashes and asked.

"Do you have money?"

Qi Feng frowned in embarrassment, glanced at her, and said with some difficulty.

"Originally, there was some... but this assassination cost a lot of money, so there isn't much left."

Shen Yueyao raised one corner of her mouth and said.

"It's okay, I have it. Do you have bases anywhere else besides Kyoto?"

Qi Feng looked at her with a slightly cold look in his eyes and his voice became much more serious.

"What are you asking for?"

"I have a way to get you out of the city, but once you're out of the city, you have to promise to give me my freedom."

Qi Feng's gaze was fixed on her face, and Shen Yueyao read "disbelief" in his eyes.

She smiled calmly and said, "Jin'er, give her the money."

Jin'er took out a stack of banknotes from her sleeve and gave one to him.

Qi Feng stared at Jin'er as she stuffed the remaining stack of banknotes into her sleeve.

She she she is so rich!

Qi Feng looked at her curiously again and asked.

"You are a concubine in the deep palace, what are you doing with the money?"

Shen Yueyao said calmly.

"Be ready to run away at any time."

"...So you don't plan to follow the emperor?"

"..."

Qi Feng thought for a moment and said, "Let's get through this first."

When the officers and soldiers searched the house, Qi Feng went out to deal with it. He saw the leading officer and soldier holding several portraits in his hand.

The painting was so lifelike that he couldn't help but take a deep breath. There was even a portrait of Jin'er.

This woman has some foresight.

At this time, Qi Feng appeared in front of the officers and soldiers as a middle-aged man with stubble on his face.

It was night again, and even in front of them, they couldn't see its original appearance.

"My Lords, what is the matter?"

The leader stared at him impatiently and said arrogantly.

"We are ordered to search every house for the assassin. Tell everyone to come out. Don't make things difficult for the officers and soldiers. Be careful that you will suffer."

Qi Feng nodded and bowed, looking cooperative, and spoke in a low voice.

"The common people know."

So he raised his voice and spoke to the people in the yard.

"Did you hear that? Come out."

Qi Feng quietly pulled the leader aside and took out a hundred taels of silver from his sleeve.

"I have a concubine in my room. She is pregnant and cannot stand being startled. Please help her and don't let so many people in to scare her. You see..."

The man was naturally tempted when he saw such a large sum of money, which was equivalent to several years' salary.

He quickly looked around, quietly took the silver and stuffed it into his chest, and whispered.

"I know, I know."

Seeing that his two men were about to go into his house, the leader shouted loudly.

"Wait, I'll search this room, you two go over there."

He walked straight into the house, and Qi Feng followed behind him.

It's pitch black inside, said the leader.

"You seem to have quite a bit of wealth, why don't you light a lamp?"

Qi Feng's thick eyebrows flickered slightly and he coughed twice.

"This... She used to live in Cuihonglou, and was tortured at night. Since she followed me, she doesn't like to light the lights at night."

When that person heard this, his eyes lit up and he immediately became interested.

"Oh! Cuihonglou, I know it. Who is from Cuihonglou?"

This made Qi Feng stunned. He had never been to a brothel. He only saw the sign of Cuihonglou when he passed by by chance, and saw the courtesan from afar.

She is charming and beautiful, and is indeed a beauty.

"Of course... naturally the most popular one."

"Oh, could it be Miss Qihong?"

As she spoke, she walked towards the couch, and a soft voice came from the living room.

"My dear, I am afraid——"

The sound was as soft as silk soaked in water.

Everyone's bones went soft after hearing this. It must be Miss Qihong.

He usually didn't have enough money to see her alone, but he had been thinking about this courtesan for a long time.

I had heard that he had been redeemed by someone, but I never thought it was this person.

This guy with a stubble on his face is really like a flower stuck in cow dung.

With such a good opportunity, he naturally wanted to see her beauty, so he walked to the bed and wanted to lift the curtain.

Qi Feng quickly stepped forward to stop him.

"Sir, this..."

He stretched his neck to look at the bed curtain, rubbed his excited chest, and felt a silver note inside.

He thought, forget it, this banknote can allow him to go to the brothel several times.

You can't hang yourself on a tree.

He glanced at Qi Feng unwillingly, thinking that he couldn't see anything in the dark.

Then he said, "Since you are relatively sensible, I will give you some face."

After saying this, he glanced at the bed curtain reluctantly, then turned and left the room.

Shen Yueyao finally breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but think of the old saying.

Money can make the world go round.

This money plays a huge role among the people.

After Qi Feng sent everyone away, he felt that it was not appropriate to stay here for long.

Thinking of what Shen Yueyao had said before, he became suspicious.

Does she really have the ability to take them out of the city?

He entered the room and saw Shen Yueyao sitting at the tea table, seemingly waiting for him.

For a moment, he felt that Xu Niannian did not seem to be bragging, and this woman was indeed a man of her own accord.

This girl is not bad, even more beautiful than the courtesan in Cuihonglou.

Why was she so blind as to follow the emperor?

He walked over and got straight to the point.

"Both leaving and entering the city require a clearance disc. Can you get it?"

Shen Yueyao just smiled faintly.

"Of course I have a way. I will help you get out of the city, and once you're out of the city, we'll be even. What do you think?"

"Okay." Qi Feng responded readily.

Shen Yueyao didn't expect him to agree so readily. She became alert and asked him to sign a document.

Qi Feng did as he was told.

……

In the imperial study, Jiang Ye hurried in and bowed to report.

"Your Majesty, I just received a report from the city defense that today, people from Prince Qi's Mansion left the city with the emperor's imperial seal."

Jing Ruzhang's haggard eyes suddenly turned cold, and he gritted his teeth and said in pain.

"Shen-Yue-Yao."
