You Can Bathe (Part Two)
While Princess DanYang was hesitating, Gu HanMo stood next to the bed was focusing to listen to the movements outside.
Though he had learned some of Immortals Valley’s techniques from Tian Shu, and he had specifically worn clothes that were the same color as the roof tiles, he would not be able to go against multiple enemies at once.
Once he was discovered, escaping was the easy part, but Yin Shuo would be able to use it as a topic of discussion against Marquis Gu’s Manor.
After carefully listening for a while, he noted that there were no unusual movements outside. He then turned to face Princess DanYang, “I don’t have much time. Please quickly make a decision.”
“Princess!”
Dian’er desperately tried to urge her once more, and she suddenly raised her head, “Third young sir, please thank uncle Gu for his kindness on my behalf. I will not return to the palace. I will stay here.”
“Princess, have you gone crazy?”
Dian’er was so frantic that tears were starting to flow, and she quickly moved to stop Gu HanMo, “Third young sir, please wait. I beg you to let this servant try and convince princess!”
Gu HanMo frowned. Thinking of how Gu HuaiJiang’s intention was that he hoped Princess DanYang could return to the palace, he was not in a rush to leave.
Dian’er was extremely grateful, as she anxiously grabbed Princess DanYang’s sleeve and tightly held on, “Princess, what exactly are you thinking? You clearly have a chance to leave, so why won’t you leave? If your husband really is a traitor as princess believes, it’s possible that he might kill princess!”
Princess DanYang broke free from her grasp. Her face was expressionless, “If I go back now, I will become the laughingstock of the entire palace. Everyone in the palace surely knows that I was slapped in the palace by Yin Shuo. If I go back now in my pitiful state, wouldn’t Imperial Consort Xian use that as an opportunity to mock me? Before this princess got married, everything in the palace went as this princess said. I absolutely will not give that petty person a chance to mock me. I would rather die in the prime minister’s manor than go back to the palace and be humiliated!”
“Princess! Where there is life, there is hope. You are a daughter of the imperial family. Your survival is of the utmost importance!”
Gu HanMo gradually started to show signs of impatience. He lifted the curtain slightly and saw the swing in the yard swinging on its own.
With some leaves suddenly falling, they slowly drifted down and landed on the swing.
Gu HanMo frowned, “This is bad. Someone’s noticed me!”
Princess DanYang was in the middle of arguing with her servant. Suddenly hearing this, she was given a fright, as she hastily started to look around for a way for Gu HanMo to escape.
Gu HanMo already heard the sound of swords being drawn in the distance. There were at least ten people carrying blades and at least twenty carrying swords. Who knew how many were carrying bows and arrows.
Princess DanYang suddenly pointed toward the rear window: “Third young sir, quickly exit through there! If you go that way, you will reach Yin JiYao’s courtyard. There are very few servants in her courtyard, so you might be able to hide there for a while!”
This was the only option that was currently available to him. Gu HanMo quickly flew out of the rear window. At almost the same time, Princess DanYang’s door was kicked down.
As the door hit the ground, dust was kicked up and filled the room. Dian’er let out a shrill scream, and Princess DanYang clenched her fists.
“Where is he?”
“Who?”
She feigned ignorance but was unaware that her trembling shoulders had allowed the other side to see through her. The guards rudely pushed her aside and saw the rear window open.
“They must have escaped through there. Move quickly!”
The group left in a rush, leaving master and servant behind in a daze.
Gu HanMo had gone in the direction advised by Princess DanYang, and, sure enough, he arrived in a quiet courtyard. There was a swing in this courtyard, and it was immediately clear that a girl lived here.
The entire courtyard was covered in yellow leaves that had not been cleaned up, which gave it a very desolate feeling.
Princess DanYang had said that her courtyard had very few servants. Sure enough, what she had said was true, as he did not see a single person in the courtyard.
Hearing the soldiers approaching from behind, he quickly ducked into a side room.
The lighting in the side room was dim, and he had just come in from a bright area. For a while, his eyes were unable to adjust to the darkness.
After a moment, he was able to see a figure in the corner of the room.
“Who are you?”
The girl’s voice was indifferent and cold. It was as if she was already dead.
Gu HanMo was shocked and tentatively asked: “Young miss Yin?”
Yin JiYao carefully thought back, and her expression finally changed, “You’re the third young sir? The third young sir of Marquis Gu’s Manor?”
She had previously heard Gu JiuGe mention this third young sir. Gu HanMo had also heard Gu JiuGe talk about Yin JiYao, and he knew that she had been treated poorly by Yin Shuo.
But what was with the large scar on her forehead?
He looked at her forehead, and she subconsciously tried to avoid being looked at, using her hand to cover her forehead, “Third young sir, why are you here? Is it because of my eldest brother?”
Gu HanMo said: “I came to see Princess DanYang. Who knew that I would be discovered by your eldest brother’s people while we were speaking. They will be coming here soon.”
Yin JiYao said: “Though Princess DanYang is haughty, eldest brother’s methods are even more reprehensible. If Lord Marquis Gu can return to court and preside over the situation, things could not be any better. Third young sir, please come with me. I have a place that you can hide!”
She quickly headed towards a small door at the back of the side room, and Gu HanMo followed closely behind her. While he followed behind her, he paid attention to the movements around them.
After passing through a few doors, they arrived at an embroidery room. A maidservant was standing behind a screen and tossing flower petals into some hot water. Hearing the sound of footsteps, she hastily said: “Young miss, I have already prepared the water for you. You can bathe now.”
As she said this, she turned around and saw Gu HanMo standing behind her with a cold expression. She almost let out a scream in fear.
“Shh!”
Yin JiYao immediately covered her mouth, “This is Marquis Gu’s Manor’s third young sir. Regardless of whether it’s for the second young sir’s sake or for the court’s sake, I absolutely must hide him!”
