After everyone finished eating, Yu Yanran packed up her dishes and was about to leave the palace with her food box, when she heard the eunuch who brought her in say that the palace gates were closed.

Everyone was very surprised why the palace gate was closed at noon.

The eunuch who led the way went out to inquire, and soon ran back in in a panic.

"Murder! Murder! There are corpses everywhere outside!"

"What? Murder? How could such a thing happen in the palace?"

Everyone present felt something was wrong.

The eunuch continued, "I don't know. They were a group of soldiers. I don't know which group they belonged to, but they killed anyone they saw. They also... they captured some palace maids and openly did that shameful thing!"

"What?!!"

Changbai subconsciously protected Yu Yanran behind him.

Yu's father and Sheng Hong looked at Yu Yanran in the room at the same time.

They all knew that if that group of soldiers came in, these grown men would at most die, but Yu Yanran would be in misery.

At this critical moment, Yu's father felt a little love for Yu Yanran and asked his father-in-law.

"May I ask if there is a place for me, your daughter, to hide?"

My father-in-law shook his head in embarrassment. The house was so small that it was obvious at a glance. There was no place to hide.

Just when Changbai was feeling somewhat desperate, the eunuch suddenly remembered that many walls in the imperial palace had dog holes, some even leading to outside the palace.

"I remember that there are dog holes on many walls in the palace, which can allow petite people to pass through. This lady can go through there!"

"Then please, sir, take my wife away from there!"

Changbai pushed Yu Yanran and asked his father-in-law to take Yu Yanran away from this dangerous place.

"If I don't leave, you're all still here! How can I just run for my own life?"

Yu Yanran held Changbai's hand tightly and didn't want to leave. You know, not only her husband is here, but also her father-in-law and father.

"Alas, we are all grown men. The rebels won't do anything to us. At most, we will die. But you... don't forget An Ge'er. He is still young and cannot live without his mother!"

Changbai was so anxious that he spoke without thinking.

Yu Yanran was retorted by Changbai and thought of An Ge'er at home.

Seeing Yu Yanran and Changbai acting like little girls, Yu's father stamped his feet in anger and said, "It's already late. There's no time for you to hesitate. Go!"

Yu's father pulled Yu Yanran over and pushed her out of the house.

Yu Yanran was pushed out somewhat unexpectedly. She looked back at the closed door and followed her father-in-law with tears in her eyes to the dog hole he mentioned.

The eunuch was unwilling to leave the palace, so Yu Yanran had to leave the palace alone in the direction the eunuch told her.

When she arrived at the dog hole at Chonghua Gate, Yu Yanran met a little palace maid.

When the young palace maid saw Yu Yanran dressed in luxurious attire, she thought she was a member of a noble family who had been summoned into the palace, and she hurriedly revealed her identity.

"I am Ruichu, a maid in Funing Palace. The Queen sent me out to report the news and save the emperor."

After hearing Rui Chu's words, Yu Yanran realized that there were more than one rebellion in the palace, and that someone was forcing the Emperor and the Empress to abdicate.

Thinking of Ruichu's mission, Yu Yanran felt sleepy and wanted to throw a pillow. She was worried that she wouldn't be able to find someone she trusted to rescue people after she got out, and then she met Ruichu.

She no longer hesitated and hurriedly pulled Ruichu to run away.

After the two escaped from the palace, Ruichu looked at the unfamiliar streets and suddenly realized that she did not know the roads in the capital.

She subconsciously looked at Yu Yanran and asked, "Madam, do you know the way to Yuzhou?"

"Why are you going so far?"

"Go find Zhao Zongquan, the commander of the Yuzhou militia, to save us!"

Seeing that she did not mention the imperial guards, Yu Yanran knew that the imperial guards must have participated in the rebellion. Otherwise, the emperor would not have gone so far as to seek help from afar.

Whenever Yu Yanran thought of Changbai and others who were still in the palace, she became extremely anxious.

Without any hesitation, he dragged Ruichu to a clothing store.

This shop was part of Yu Yanran's mother's dowry. It has been in Yu Yanran's hands for many years and she has been here many times before.

Therefore, as soon as Yu Yanran walked in, the female shopkeeper recognized that this was the boss.

Just as he was about to salute, he saw Yu Yanran dragging Ruichu into the inner room.

Yu Yanran didn't waste any time talking to the shopkeeper and asked Ruichu to change out of her eye-catching palace maid's attire.

Then he took her out of the city in the store's cloth carriage.

Because the two men changed their clothes quickly, the rebels who were chasing them could not find any trace of them.

Only then was Yu Yanran able to take Ruichu and run out of the city safely.

Not long after the two ran out of the city, they met Gu Tingye, who was bringing Zhao Zongquan, the Yuzhou militia leader, to Beijing.

When Yu Yanran learned that Zhao Zongquan, a member of the Yuzhou militia, was among Gu Tingye and his group, she felt that it was God's will on their side.

"Great, the purpose of Ruichu and I's trip is to go to Yuzhou to find Zhao Tuanlian."

As Yu Yanran spoke, she asked Ruichu to take out the imperial edict and military token that appointed Zhao Zongquan as the crown prince, and asked them to take the imperial edict and military token to summon the army to rescue the king.

Zhao Zongquan was a little hesitant at first, but he could not resist the persuasion of those around him. He had no choice but to accept the imperial edict and go into the city to quell the rebellion.

Yu Yanran and Ruichu were waiting anxiously outside the city.

By the time it got dark, the rebellion in the city was successfully put down.

Gu Tingye released Changbai and his group who were imprisoned by the rebels, and took Changbai to the outside of the city to meet Yu Yanran who was anxiously waiting with Ruichu.

When Yu Yanran saw that Changbai was safe and sound, she immediately jumped into his arms with joy.

"I'm so glad you're okay, I was worried sick!"

Changbai was also very excited. Having survived the disaster, he didn't care that there were outsiders around and hugged Yu Yanran tightly.

"It's okay, it's okay. Don't worry, I'm fine!"

Gu Tingye was fed a mouthful of dog food. After the two of them calmed down, Gu Tingye proposed to take Ruichu back to the palace.

After seeing Zhao Zongquan coming to rescue him, the emperor learned that Ruichu had successfully delivered the blood edict and the military token to Zhao Zongquan, and immediately expressed his intention to reward her.

The main reason for Gu Tingye's visit was to bring Ruichu back to the palace to receive a reward.

The four of them entered the city together, and only after entering the city did the two sides go their separate ways.

Changbai took Yu Yanran back home, ending the thrilling day.

After the rebellion was quelled, the emperor soon collapsed. Before he passed away, he issued an edict to confer the title of Princess Ningchang on Ruichu and married her to a member of the royal family.

Yu Yanran, who went with Ruichu to deliver the imperial edict, was also granted the title of Princess He'an.

Although it was just a title of county lord, it already made the Sheng family feel very surprised.

Yu Yanran had never thought that she could get the title of county lady. After all, she helped Ruichu deliver the imperial edict just to find someone to save Changbai and the others.

In fact, what Yu Yanran didn’t know was that even if she didn’t help Rui Chu deliver the imperial edict, Sheng Hong and Sheng Changbai would be fine.
