Fei Zuo laughed and pushed her back, suddenly releasing his grip. Mei Kaiye’s body uncontrollably fell backward. In her panic, she grabbed randomly, hearing a “rip” sound as something shattered. Without thinking, she grabbed with her other hand… finally stabilizing her backward momentum. Looking up, she saw Fei Zuo raising the corner of his mouth, gesturing for her to look down.
Lowering her gaze, Mei Kaiye realized she had grabbed his white inner garment, which she had torn… Embarrassed, she let go and, with utmost apology, tried to straighten his clothes. However, no matter how she arranged them, they couldn’t cover his chest, now bearing several scratch marks.
Mei Kaiye felt a hot flush rising and touched below her nose – she was bleeding.
Across from her, Prince Fei Zuo’s smile deepened.
Mei Kaiyi sighed, “Wearing a thin garment, coming out of the Emperor’s witch concubine’s bedroom with a ‘I’m an adulterer’ expression, you’re more likely to be caught.”
Seeing the guards about to jump onto the roof, Fei Zuo looked troubled but still asked calmly, “Yes, what should we do? We’re about to be caught.”
◇◇◇
At this point, of course we must escape,” she kicked Fei Zuo, “Idiot.”
Mei Kaiyi got up, but her shoulder was pressed down. Fei Zuo lowered his head and whispered in her ear, “Anyway, we’re accomplices now. Don’t even think about leaving me behind and escaping alone.”
Mei Kaiyi rolled her eyes, grabbed his shoulder with one hand, and threw him on her back, “Fine, fine, it’s quite exciting.”
Dodging the charging guards, Mei Kaiyi flashed several times, lightly tapping her toes, quickly jumping from one rooftop to another, landing and then leaping again. Her movements were agile and light.
“Night Concubine, are you going to break into prison?”
“No.”
“Then you want to walk into a trap?”
“No.” Surprised.
“We’re almost at the Ministry of Punishment’s prison.”
Mei Kaiyi was stunned, immediately changing direction, “Why didn’t you say so earlier?”
Fei Zuo looked at the guards chasing behind and laughed, “This is more exciting.”
“…Aren’t you afraid of being caught?”
“Not afraid.” His low laughter came from beside her ear, “Anyway, this prince was kidnapped by you.”
“Fei Zuo!” Mei Kaiyi’s voice was without emotion, “I’m going to throw you away.”
