Princess Pei Ru immediately pushed her away: "After all, you still let me marry you. In your eyes, what my father says is heaven. Even if he pushes me into the fire pit with his own hands, you will follow his wishes, right? "

Princess Huainan explained anxiously: "Ru'er, you have misunderstood your mother and concubine!"

She raised her eyebrows impatiently: "Even if I really misunderstand you, do you dare to let me go secretly? I will never agree to a blind marriage and a dumb marriage. I want to go back to the capital!"

A look of hesitation flashed across Princess Huainan's face. Just as she was about to say something, the door behind her was kicked open suddenly.

Then the sullen King Huainan strode in and said, "Come here, tie her up with shackles for me!"

Princess Huainan's eyes widened in horror. She subconsciously stood in front of Pei Ru and said, "Your Majesty, Pei Ru is our daughter. You can't treat her like this. She is not a prisoner. Why are you using shackles?"

Pei Ru also started crying: "Father, please let me go, you can't do this to me!"

A sharp chill shone on King Huainan's face, and he said in a cold voice: "When you get married, this shackles will naturally be released!"

He glared at Princess Huainan fiercely: "A woman's kindness, if you spoil my big event, you will never see your son again in this life!"

Princess Huainan bit her lip hard, tears falling down.

After he rolled his sleeves and left, the mother and daughter held each other's hands and cried.

Pei Ru sobbed: "Mother, why did my father become like this? Didn't he love me very much in the past?"

Princess Huainan fell silent immediately. Did he really love Pei Ru?

No, he was cultivating her as a pawn from the beginning to the end.

For his own ambition, he would rather sacrifice his daughter's happiness for the rest of his life. This man is really cruel!

She wiped her tears hard and said: "Ru'er, my mother will let you go. At midnight tonight, you can wait for my news with peace of mind. Don't go on hunger strike again. Only when you are full can you have the strength to run away!"

Pei Ru looked at her pitifully: "What about you? Mother and concubine, my father will definitely be very angry!"

Princess Huainan smiled bitterly: "What if I'm angry? For the sake of giving him a son, he will keep my life. As long as I'm alive, there is hope!"

In fact, she didn't even believe it when she said it.

However, only by letting her daughter have no worries can she leave the prison of Huainan Palace without hesitation.

Pei Ru nodded vigorously, and his emotions gradually calmed down.

When the maid came to deliver the meal in the evening, she ate quite a bit.

The maid's face was full of surprise: "Your Highness, it's best if you can figure it out. In fact, Mr. Zhu is very good. He follows the prince and visits the military camp every day. He is gentle and gentle, and he is a very sensible young man. !”

Contempt flashed in Pei Ru's eyes. From the first time she saw him, she felt that this man was too good at pretending.

His face is too innocent. How can a down-and-out young man look indifferent to fame and fortune?

Unless, he is extremely deep in the city.

His father actually valued him, he was really blind!

No matter what, she was going to run away from the marriage anyway. Whoever thought he was good would marry him.

Thinking of this, she took a few more mouthfuls of soup.

It wasn't until she was full that she cheered up and listened to what was going on outside.

After a while, all the maids who served her fell asleep.

After all, it was too late, it was already midnight.

Princess Pei Ru pretended to be considerate and said, "Go down and sleep for a while. Who can bear it? I'm already shackled, so how can I escape?"

The maid looked at her worriedly and asked cautiously: "Your Highness, you really won't run away, will you?"

Pei Ru raised his eyebrows impatiently: "Believe it or not, it's not me who's sleepy anyway!"

After saying that, she turned her back and lay on the bed.

Seeing her attitude, the two maids didn't hesitate anymore and hurriedly walked to the next room to sleep.

Soon Pei Ru heard a noise coming from the window, and then a masked woman with nimble skills came in.

It was Lian Zhi, the secret guard protecting Princess Huainan.

She whispered: "Your Highness, this servant will carry you out!"

Pei Ru whispered: "What should I do with these shackles? They rattle when I wear them. I'm afraid of alerting the secret guards in the house!"

Lian Zhi looked around carefully and muttered a little worriedly: "This is made of black iron, and it uses a special mechanism. It's hard for me to open it now, but we wrap it in brocade cloth and it won't make any noise." There’s no sound at all!”

Pei Ru didn't hesitate and quickly pulled off the curtain and wrapped the shackles tightly.

The two climbed out of the window and narrowly escaped the guards patrolling the house.

Just as he was about to climb up the wall, a shout suddenly came from behind him: "Who is sneaking around in the middle of the night?"

Lian Zhi's expression changed suddenly, and she raised her hand and pushed Princess Pei Ru down hard. She urged in a deep voice: "Your Highness, run quickly, towards the capital!"

Pei Ru didn't care that her bones hurt from the fall. She asked anxiously: "What about you?"

Lian Zhi pulled out the sword from his waist and faced the chasing guards, without answering her words.

Pei Ru burst into tears, but she also understood that this was Lian Zhi's chance to risk his life for her.

She got up and ran to avoid being caught, and even went into a dark alley.

No one is more familiar with Huainan City than she is. She can run out of those dark alleys with her eyes closed.

Moreover, she also knows a secret way out without going through the city gate.

As expected, the secret guards led by Zhu Qian rushed to nothing at the city gate.

Seeing that it was almost dawn, he said with a gloomy face: "I'm afraid Princess Pei Ru has left Huainan City at this moment, and we have to chase her on the official road to the capital!"

He didn't hesitate anymore and quickly got on his horse.

Princess Pei Ru didn't dare to stop along the way, but she was Miss Jiaojiao after all, and she walked on bumpy stone roads, which bruised both of her feet.

She couldn't walk anymore, so she rested against a big tree for a while.

When she saw the blood staining her shoes, she burst into tears.

She sniffed and said, "I'm so pitiful. Doesn't the book say that when a good-looking woman is in trouble, a handsome man will risk his life to save her? Why can't anyone save me? Am I not good-looking?" "

A gloomy voice suddenly sounded behind her: "Didn't I come to save Your Highness the Princess?"

Pei Ru was so frightened that her face turned pale. She quickly stood up and saw Zhu Qian sitting on a tall horse, looking at her with a mocking expression.

She gritted her teeth and asked, "How did you catch up?"

How could he still find her after she had been running for so long?

What a torture!

Zhu Qian sneered: "Can your feet defeat my horse with four hooves? There is only one official road. You must not dare to walk on it. I can only try my luck on these stone roads. Unexpectedly , God actually favored me so much, and really allowed me to find my little wife who had escaped from marriage!"
