“Eldest Miss, what should we do now?”

“Open the main gate!”

“Yes.”

Hearing Jiang Peihuan’s voice, the guards of the General’s Mansion immediately opened the gate.

The crowd outside, upon seeing Jiang Peihuan, were filled with excitement, “The Prince has ordered that whoever captures Queen Cheng will be rewarded a thousand taels of silver.”

“Quick, charge!”

Hearing about the rewards, everyone rushed towards Jiang Peihuan.

“Protect the Queen!”

“Protect the Eldest Miss!”

Upon witnessing this scene, both Ye Xiao and Deputy General Liu simultaneously shouted.

Facing the approaching crowd, Jiang Peihuan’s eyes revealed a chilling intent.

The sound of galloping hooves instantly reached everyone’s ears.

Lie Feng ran to Jiang Peihuan’s side.

Apart from Lie Feng, Xiao Bai also ran to Jiang Peihuan’s side.

“Everyone, follow me!”

As she mounted her horse, Jiang Peihuan addressed the people of the General’s Mansion.

Upon hearing her voice, everyone promptly followed.

“Quick, stop Queen Cheng!”

The outsiders saw Jiang Peihuan mount and immediately surrounded her.

Jiang Peihuan, with one hand on the reins, drew out a long whip with the other.

With a flick of her wrist, the whip in Jiang Peihuan’s hand struck down the frontline attackers.

“Let’s go!”

The people behind her followed her lead.

Upon reaching an intersection, Jiang Peihuan couldn’t help but look back. The entire General’s Mansion was ablaze.

With mixed emotions in her eyes, she continued forward.

Pursuers continuously chased from behind.

When they reached a street corner, Jiang Peihuan pulled her reins and turned to Jiang Songbai and Deputy General Liu, “Everyone, split up!”

“My Queen, if we split up, what about you…”

“Don’t worry about me!”

“Ye Xiao, head west!”

“Yes.”

After speaking, Jiang Peihuan headed west with Ye Xiao.

Jiang Songbai instinctively wanted to follow but was stopped by Jiang Peihuan, “Elder sister?”

Confusion filled Jiang Songbai’s eyes.

Meeting his gaze, Jiang Peihuan whispered, “They’re after me, don’t follow.”

With that, she went straight west.

An hour later, those soldiers surrounding the General’s Mansion also headed west.

Witnessing this, Jiang Songbai instinctively wanted to chase, but was held back by Deputy General Liu.

“Third Young Master, our priority is to find reinforcements. Even if you chase after them, it’s of no use and will only make Eldest Miss worry more.”

“Reinforcements? Let me think.”

Jiang Songbai’s eyes were filled with anxiety, but thinking of the way Jiang Peihuan used to speak to him, he forced himself to calm down.

At this time, Han Feng had already appeared at the General’s Mansion with a team of men and horses.

Seeing the flames shooting up into the sky from the General’s Mansion, Han Feng’s expression changed drastically.

However, after observing the surrounding environment for a moment, he headed toward the neighborhood.

Hearing the noise, Jiang Songbai’s eyes were filled with caution.

But when he saw who was coming, a hint of joy appeared in his eyes.

“Han Feng?”

Upon seeing Jiang Songbai, Han Feng sighed in relief. But after a quick glance around and not seeing Jiang Peihuan, he couldn’t help but frown.

“Third Young Master, where is the queen?”

“Eldest sister went west. Han Feng, come with me to find her.”

Upon hearing Jiang Songbai’s words, Han Feng didn’t hesitate and immediately headed west.

Jiang Peihuan, accompanied by Ye Xiao, went directly to the West Mountain.

Upon reaching the foot of the mountain, it was no longer possible to ride horses. Jiang Peihuan dismounted and patted her horse, Lie Feng, saying, “Lie Feng, find a place to hide.”

Saying this, she began to climb the mountain.

Ye Xiao and the wolf Xiao Bai followed closely behind Jiang Peihuan.

Xiao Bai was born in the West Mountain and hadn’t returned since, but he was very familiar with the area. As they climbed, it kept glancing at Jiang Peihuan. Footsteps echoed from behind them.

Jiang Peihuan followed Xiao Bai, continuously ascending the mountain.

Ye Xiao, hearing the noise from behind, whispered to Jiang Peihuan, “My

Queen, they won’t set the mountain on fire, will they?”

“No, they wouldn’t dare.”

Hearing this, Ye Xiao sighed in relief.

But at that moment, a group of soldiers suddenly charged forward.

Seeing them, Jiang Peihuan’s brows furrowed. These weren’t the same men who had surrounded her home but seemed to be waiting here for her.

Not recognizing the soldiers, Jiang Peihuan tensed, but as they saw her, they immediately drew their longswords.

Ye Xiao, seeing the threat, reached for his dagger.

However, before he could act, Xiao Bai charged forth, killing one of the soldiers and then letting out a wolf’s howl.

At the foot of the mountain,

Hearing the wolf’s howl, excitement filled Han Feng’s eyes. “It’s Xiao Bai! Let’s hurry!”

Han Feng and Jiang Songbai rushed up the mountain but collided with the chasing soldiers.

Without hesitation, Han Feng said to Jiang Songbai, “Third Young master, go find the queen. Leave this to me.”

“Alright, be careful.”

Saying this, Jiang Songbai continued up the mountain.

As he got closer, the wolf’s howl became clearer.

Finally, he saw Jiang Peihuan.

But the scene before him made him smirk.

Jiang Peihuan and Ye Xiao stood to the side, while Xiao Bai faced off against ten soldiers, showing no signs of weakness.

“Eldest sister?”

“Songbai, why are you here? Weren’t you with Deputy General Liu?”

“1 was worried about you. By the way, Han Feng is here too. King Cheng probably sent him.”

“Queen Cheng?”

As Jiang Songbai was speaking, he saw Han Feng and his men approaching.

After giving a respectful bow to Jiang Peihuan, Han Feng whispered, “Queen, we’ve dealt with the pursuers. Are you okay?”

“I’m fine.”

Hearing Han Feng’s words, Jiang Peihuan shook her head.

She then softly asked, “How is Xiao Nanye?”

“Prince Rui has besieged the palace. Our master and the great general are guarding the gates of Qianqing Palace.”

“Prince Rui is that close to Qianqing Palace?”

“Yes.”

“If not for our master and the great general arriving in time, Qianqing Palace would’ve already fallen.”

“Let’s go!”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Peihuan started heading up the mountain without a second thought.

Watching her, confusion filled Han Feng’s eyes.

While following her, he whispered, “Queen, where are we going?”

“To the palace.”

“Queen, from here? You intend to go to the palace from here?”

Doubt filled Han Feng’s eyes. If it weren’t for the fact that this was Jiang Peihuan, he would’ve thought she was joking.

Upon hearing Han Feng’s words, Jiang Peihuan nodded seriously.

Looking at him, she whispered, “Follow me, and you’ll understand.”

With that, Jiang Peihuan continued to climb.

An hour later, Jiang Peihuan led Han Feng and the others into a secret passage..
