38 Safe and sound (2/2)

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.
