Chapter 999: Chapter 837, Luo Qiong Dies
Daohua quickly pulled Beijing’s Prince into the throng of people; Xiao Yechi had entered Beijing, no doubt with men who were probably scattered around. All she could do now was to ensure her and the Beijing Prince’s safety and avoid capture.
Yet she worried if Xiao Yeyang would fail to receive the message promptly, so she shouted once more, “The Eight Princes’ Party’s son is in the carriage!” And after yelling, she dragged Beijing’s Prince and ran headlong into the bustling crowd.
From the moment the carriage door was pushed open to their dashing out and the loud yell, it all happened in an instant. By the time Xiao Yechi’s men and those following in another carriage, like Mei Lan and Huai En, reacted, Daohua and Beijing’s Prince had already been swallowed by the crowd.
“No good!”
Mei Lan, Mei Ju, and Xiao Yechi’s men simultaneously changed expression.
Mei Lan and Mei Ju leaped down from the carriage and swiftly chased in the direction Daohua and Beijing’s Prince had gone, while some of Xiao Yechi’s men pursued Daohua and Beijing’s Prince, and others rushed to Xiao Yechi.
The commoners of Beijing were to a greater or lesser extent informed about palace affairs, and the mention of the ‘Eight Princes’ immediately stirred them into commotion. This successfully bought some escape time for Daohua and Beijing’s Prince.
On the carriage, Xiao Yechi, who had been hit with anesthetic and Soft Muscle Powder, could only signal hurriedly with his eyes that his men should bolt out of the city immediately. Realizing their whereabouts were exposed, Xiao Yechi’s men dared not stay any longer—quickly loading the box that contained Xiao Yechen onto the carriage, they drove towards the city gates at breakneck speed.
Meanwhile, Daohua had led Beijing’s Prince into an alleyway. Seeing Mei Lan, Mei Ju, and Huai Zhong catch up, they both couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. However, before they could relax completely, they saw Xiao Yechi’s men catching up.
Quickly, Mei Lan and her two companions engaged with Xiao Yechi’s men in combat. Xiao Yechi had more men, and Mei Lan’s trio couldn’t hold them all back, letting two assailants move towards Daohua and Beijing’s Prince.
Daohua positioned herself in front of Beijing’s Prince, taking out her slingshot to shoot at the two men. Beijing’s Prince, moved by seeing Daohua defend him, gestured with his hand, and suddenly two Hidden Guards descended from above rapidly towards Xiao Yechi’s men.
“Father, you have Hidden Guards?”
