C7 Failing to Flee

Miserable screams filled the entire street. Du Jiuyue frowned hatefully as she looked with dissatisfaction at the middle of the street. A young girl was rolling and crawling towards the distance, looking as if she had seen a ghost.

There was one more. Du Jiuyue stared at the woman with dissatisfaction in her heart. Was it so hard for her to slip away quietly?

This figure seemed a little familiar? Du Jiuyue thought, hesitating for a moment before she finally caught up with him. She originally wanted to slip away, but she was worried that there would be a leak. She had to see who it was first.

All the people in the palace have left, who would have thought that there would still be someone here, and it still happened again and again …

"Halt!" Although Du Jiuyue did not have any martial arts skills, but she had been trained by the special forces for a long time, so her footwork was quite fast. Within a few breaths, she had already caught up to him.

When the young girl saw Du Jiuyue chasing after her, she was so frightened that she fell to the ground, her face full of fear. Her hands kept backing up while her whole body trembled and she screamed out in fear, "Y-y-you! Don't come over! Are you a human or a ghost?"

Big eyes stared pitifully at Du Jiuyue, their eyes filled with unspeakable fear.

"It's you …" Du Jiuyue saw the young girl's face clearly and didn't answer her. She only sighed lightly and shook her head. "If you say I'm human, then I'm human. If I'm a ghost, then I'm a ghost."

She wanted to walk around the girl as she spoke. This young girl was the eldest miss of the Du Residence, Du Meixue. She and Du Meixue had never been on good terms with each other before, but she didn't want to cause any trouble at this time.

In the middle of the night, how did a young miss of Du Residence like her, who was born with a thousand gold coins, manage to leave the Palace? However, when she saw the palace maid attire on her, she understood that someone must have come to help her.

"Ah!" "Don't come over here …" Du Meixue, however, thought that Du Jiuyue wanted to get close to her. She was so frightened that she supported herself with her hands and took a few steps back. Her voice was shrill and her face was filled with fear.

"What are you afraid of? People do not do bad things in the open and knock at the door in the middle of the night. No matter what, you are still my big sister. Even if you and I are at loggerheads, do I have to go and harm you? " Du Jiuyue originally wanted to leave quickly, but seeing her intense reaction, she stopped. Unsatisfied, he coldly stared at the original owner's blood sister, the big miss of Du Residence.

"You — you — you don't want to come — come again — come again." Du Meixue's teeth chattered so hard that she couldn't utter a complete sentence. Her face was as pale as paper.

"Elder sister, why are you scared?" Du Jiuyue smiled eerily, her long hair still stuck to her face. The black robe Xuan Yu gave her was wide and big, and it fluttered as she walked. In this kind of night, under the moonlight, her face was pale and could easily scare people out of their wits.

Not to mention that Du Jiuyue also had ill intentions at this time. The mother and daughter were extremely insulting to her. Even though it was towards the original owner.

"Come over here again – come over here again – come over here and I'll call for someone …" Du Meixue was so scared that her heart was shaking. She didn't want to die. It wasn't easy to kill Du Jiuyue, so she moved her stumbling block away. Just when she was successful, Du Jiuyue actually came back to find her …

Du Jiuyue's smile disappeared as she coldly shouted, "Go on!"

A gust of wind blew past, causing a few strands of half-dried hair to float upwards. It looked more like a female ghost that had returned from the Underworld to take her life. Although Du Jiuyue was currently in an extremely sorry state, her small face and cold gaze gave others a sense of danger.

"Big Brother Chu, save me!" Brother Chu, there's a ghost! " Du Meixue finally shouted in fright. At this time, she didn't care if anyone discovered it or not.

Du Jiuyue knew that things weren't going well. There were still people nearby. She took a step forward, but Du Meixue's eyes rolled back as she fainted on the ground.

When Du Meixue was scared senseless, a team of patrolling soldiers rushed over after hearing the noise. He shouted from the distance, "What's going on? What happened? Where's the ghost? "

Just as Du Jiuyue was about to retreat, a sharp gust of wind came from the side and a man came running down from the roof of a house on the side of the street. His palm struck out towards Du Jiuyue. He scolded loudly, "What kind of monster dares to put on a show here?

Du Jiuyue let out a sigh of bad luck. She shouldn't have been pestering Du Meixue here just now. Her figure flashed as she dodged the palm strike. The palm strike was still hurting her face.

That man didn't hit Du Jiuyue, but he didn't continue to pester her. Instead, he quickly carried Du Meixue off the ground and disappeared into the night. Du Meixue was the direct descendant of the Prime Minister's daughter; if people found out that she had appeared on the streets in the middle of the night, it would harm her reputation.

Therefore, he gave up on chasing after Du Jiuyue.

At this time, the patrolling soldiers had already arrived. They didn't manage to keep the two people behind, but they surrounded Du Jiuyue. They sized up Du Jiuyue's sorry state and discussed in low voices. An officer came out and shouted at her.

"Who is it?" Why are you here in the middle of the night? " The others had even placed their hands on their sabers at their waists, careful of their weapons, as if they were treating her as a prisoner.

"I am the Ninth Miss of Du Residence." Du Jiuyue thought about it. It seemed that she couldn't hide the news of herself anymore, so she decided to borrow the power of Du Residence.

"Du Residence's Ninth Miss?" A few people were so shocked that their jaws dropped. They looked at each other and whispered, "It can't be the one who got married yesterday, right?"

"Exactly." Du Jiuyue lifted her chin and straightened her back, straightening her expression so that she wouldn't be in too much of a sorry state.

"But …" "You …" A soldier was about to question him, but the officer simply pushed him aside and hurriedly said, "Since it's the Ninth Miss of Du Residence, or the Sixth Princess Consort, this official will send you back to your residence."

As he spoke, he quickly whispered to the soldier by his side, and the soldier quickly left.

The moonlight on the horizon slowly faded. The morning light seemed to have begun to shine, and it seemed that dawn was approaching.

Du Jiuyue knew that the patrolling soldiers wouldn't let her leave so easily, but if she let these people go, then perhaps she wouldn't be able to be kind. Even if she left, how could those people who had always wanted him dead let him go so easily?

It would be better to stay here and play it by ear. Once they left the city, they would die even faster.

"Which manor will you send me back to?" Du Jiuyue asked with a hint of amusement. She was not angry, but her voice was filled with dignity as she looked at the leader. It made a group of patrolling soldiers involuntarily want to listen to him.

These patrolling soldiers were not stupid. If the dignified Princess Qi appeared here, it would definitely not be simple. If they let her go without permission, it would definitely not be easy for Prince Qi. Thus, in order to preserve their lives, they had no other choice.

"Miss Du … Where are you going back to? " the officer asked good-naturedly.

"Du Residence!" Du Jiuyue knew that Du Residence was also not a good place to go to, and at this time, she had no other choice. I'll have to see you on foot.

"You still have some pride." Xuan Yu and his master, who had been hiding in the dark, whispered to each other.

There was still admiration in the man's eyes. Actually, Du Jiuyue being able to climb out of the river made him look at her in a different light. Even if it was him, he would have to put in a lot of effort to escape from such an environment.

"Interesting." Xuan Yu stared at his master and said with a smile.

His master was someone with a high opinion of him. All these years, even Prince Qi was nothing in his eyes. To be able to get his praise, this Du Jiuyue was still the first person Du Jiuyue had ever met.

"Shut up!" The man was slightly angry from embarrassment. The ridicule in Xuan Yu's eyes was too obvious.
