Chapter 725 - What do you want? (2/2)
-
” Miss, shouldn't we go back now? The sun is about to set and soon it will be night. If we reach the palace late, then it will not be good. I am worried that those guards would have found out about our sneaking out of the palace.” Lu shi said worriedly, making Zhao Ming think about its possibility as well.
” Hmm, Let's go.” Zhao Ming replied.
”But how are we going to go now?” Lu shi asked worriedly. ”Didn't you spend all the money on buying clothes and hairpieces? We can't take carriages without money, are we supposed to walk to the palace now? ” Lu shi asked when fear struck her.
The palace is too far and if they decide to walk back, they can only reach there by midnight. They reached here by going here and there and riding on a carriage.
However, they don't have any way to go back now. No money and walking back to the palace seems nearly impossible if they want to go back in time.
Zhao Ming pursed her lips and said, ” Well, at least let's leave from here. Upon reaching the road, we can ask for a ride from someone.” she said casually, not finding any problem in it.

When she stood up to leave and turned around, two people suddenly jumped in front of her from the tree, frightening her. The two men were wearing black clothes, with their faces and head covered with cotton black cloth, only their eyes were visible to them.
She stepped back in a startle and held onto Lu shi's hand upon confronting the two mysterious men.
” Who..who are you?” she asked hesitantly while stepping back nervously. She was trying to appear as strong and serious but her hands were trembling.
She looked around and gritted her teeth realizing that no one was there other than them. The fear-filled inside her as she looked at them alarmingly.
By attending the palace courts, she was aware that there are thugs who kidnap people and sell them as slaves, or in worse cases, they can even kill the people just to loot them. For them, others' lives don't hold any value and only care about their goals and results.
” If...if you want money, then you found the wrong person. I don't have anything with me right now.” she said hesitatingly. She wasn't wearing any outstanding clothes or accessories so she was expecting them to think about their choices knowing her condition.
” Your Majesty seems to be fl.u.s.tered right now. If you don't want anything unfortunate to happen, then please come with us.” the man smirked and pulled a sharp knife out of his belt.
Zhao Ming's eyes widen in shock seeing that he knows her identity. Even Lu shi was addressing her as 'Miss' all the time to not reveal her identity to everyone. But how do they know who she is?
Her lips trembled to see them holding the sharp knives and they even had swords attached to their belt making her think about her actions carefully.
” Go with you? Where? Who sent you guys? What do you want?” Zhao Ming asked cautiously while stepping back in fear, holding Lu shi's hand tightly.
