บท 38: Safe and sound
"Your Majesty, who would dare to use the emperor's gift?" Eunuch Xie reminded the Emperor in a low voice.
Only then did Shizong realize that all of his people had to offer him things as tribute, who would actually dare to use them? In other words, if he wanted to help this little girl, he would have to rely on someone else? Thinking of this, the Emperor told An Jinxiu, "If your household doesn't have enough servants. You can go find your father. How can he not care about you?"
These words from the Shi Zongshi were not limited to An Jinxiu and An Yuanzhi. Everyone present was shocked. Was the monarch going to take care of the family matters of a fifth-grade Martial Officer? What was this? A considerate subject?
Did she need to be separated from the king of a country by a curtain to be able to stay at home?
A fast horse came running from the direction of the eastern prison of the justice courts. When the imperial bodyguard came close to the Emperor, he jumped off the horse and whispered a few words in a low voice to Eunuch Xie, who was quickly approaching him.
"Your Majesty, thirty-six people died in the prison. Of those, seven of Wang's nine Death Soldiers died, and two others whose whereabouts are unknown."
"To the justice courts," Shizong said.
Eunuch Xie said, "Your Majesty, they came from the prison cell. Do you want to take a look at this carriage?"
"Take a look," Shizong said.
After Eunuch Xie received the order, he walked towards the carriage on which An Jin was sitting.
At this moment, An Yuanzhi's clothes were drenched in sweat. He only had one thought left in his mind, and that was that they were finished.
Through the gap in the curtain of the carriage, she could also see that Eunuch Xie was walking towards her. Her breathing slowed down as she realized that this carriage was just an ordinary carriage. There was no hidden compartment or small space. She had no place to hide these two Death Soldiers.
The two Death Soldiers also saw that Eunuch Xie was walking towards them. Their hearts felt like dying, but they felt guilty for implicating their benefactor.
An Jinxiu gritted her teeth and suddenly lifted the curtain. She got off the carriage and gracefully stood up. She raised her head to look at Shizong before kneeling on the ground.
An Yuanzhi saw An Jinxiu kneel down. Although he didn't understand her intention, he also knelt down.
Shizong hurriedly asked, "What are you doing?"
"When this subject's wife heard that His Majesty was about to go, how could An Jinxiu sit in the carriage and not kneel down to send him off?"
Just now, he had said that he would go to the justice courts in a loud voice, causing the Emperor to laugh. Seeing how An Jinxiu treated him with respect, and looking at him with a smile just now, this little girl did not put on makeup, but still looked like she had a hibiscus on her face, making the Emperor feel much better.
It was quite a coincidence that An Jinxiu was kneeling in front of the carriage. If he wanted to look at the carriage, then he would have to make An Jinxiu kneel somewhere else. Otherwise, he would have to walk around behind her. Others might not know, but she knew what her master was thinking. She didn't dare to do either of these things.
"Eunich Xie, come back," Shizong ordered. Then, he said to An Jin, "You two and your brother should go home. There's something going on in the city tonight, so don't go out."
"Your servant obeys the decree," An Jinxiu said as she kowtowed to the Emperor.
"Get on the carriage." Shizong refused to leave as he told An Jin.
An Jinxiu stood up and heard the Emperor tell An Yuanzhi, "Help your sister get on the carriage."
An Yuanzhi stood up from the ground and ran to the front of the car.
An Jinxiu gave An Yuanzhi a comforting smile and patted the back of his hand.
The Shizong watched as An Jin got into the carriage before riding past the carriage. When he thought of how she called herself An Jin, the Emperor decided that if this little girl called herself a concubine, then it would suit his wishes.
An Yuanzhi waited until the line had gone far before jumping into the driver's seat, whipping his horse and running in the direction of the Shangguan family.
An Jinxiu waited until the carriage started to move before letting out a sigh of relief. When she relaxed, she discovered that her clothes were soaked through with sweat.
The two Death Soldiers were also shocked. Just now, when An Jin got off the carriage, the two of them instructed An Jin to open the secret door at the bottom of the carriage and get off. The carriages were parked in the backlit area, and their white prison uniforms were covered in blood, so no one noticed.
"It's fine now." An Jinxiu's heart was still thumping as she comforted the two deathsworn, whose faces had lost all color. "Just now, we were safe and sound. If we don't die from great danger, we will have good fortune."
It wasn't just the two Death Soldiers, but even An Yuanzhi, who was driving the car outside, admired An Xiuxiu. The three of them combined didn't seem as bold as this little girl.
"When we get home, I'll go in through the front door. Yuan Zhi, you take them and lead the horses in through the back door," said An Jinxiu as she leaned out of the window and looked behind the car.
"Alright," An Yuanzhi agreed.
There were no more pedestrians on the street behind the car. The houses on both sides of the street were shrouded in darkness, making it difficult to see clearly. An Jinxiu did not see a single person, but she did not dare to be careless. If the Emperor could let the eunuchs by her side see her carriage, they might be able to order them to follow her.
An Yuanzhi was also paying attention to what was going on behind the carriage. He was also afraid that they would be followed by the Emperor. If another team rushed out to check on the car, he and An Jinxiu's lives would be forfeited today.
