After grabbing Little Muzi, Le Yao Yao immediately said, "Hey, how about we go out?"
"Ah? Go out of the mansion?" Little Muzi looked slightly stunned at her words.
"Yes! Let's go shopping. We've finished our tasks, and I'm feeling really bored here. It's perfect to kill some time by going out!"
Le Yao Yao spoke with excitement, but although Little Muzi wasn't particularly clever, he wasn't foolish either. Hearing Le Yao Yao's suggestion, he glanced around warily before pulling her to a secluded spot. Lowering his voice, he said to her, "My Xiaoyaozi, you shouldn't be reckless. Even if you manage to leave the royal mansion, you won't escape the guards. There have been many little eunuchs who served the prince and tried to run away before, but they were all caught by the guards in the end. And those who attempted to escape ended up suffering terribly. So I advise you to give up on that idea! With your small frame, you wouldn't last more than ten lashes!"
Knowing that Le Yao Yao had tried to escape multiple times made Little Muzi very worried for her. After all, he had entered the royal mansion on the same day as her, and they shared a close bond. He understood that serving the prince was a terrifying task, but seeing his good friend take such risks compelled him to remind her.
Upon hearing Little Muzi's earnest words, Le Yao Yao realized he was genuinely concerned for her.
In fact, after she inadvertently learned about this matter earlier, her first thought had been to escape.
However, now that she heard Little Muzi's warning, she understood that her thoughts had been far too simplistic.
Indeed, as someone who was new and unfamiliar with this place, having only a couple of silver coins on her person meant that even if she managed to flee the royal mansion, she wouldn't be able to get past the city gates.
Especially with so many guards in the royal mansion; if she were caught again after trying to escape, her fate would undoubtedly be dire. Thinking about it made Le Yao Yao's previously ignited hope extinguish once more.
However, even so, she still wanted to go out and stroll around the streets.
First of all, she had never seen what the streets of this era looked like. Secondly, it would be good to familiarize herself with the surroundings now, so that if an opportunity arose in the future, she wouldn’t get lost.
Thinking about it, Le Yao Yao smiled sweetly, her eyes brightening.
"Alright, my Little Muzi, I know! I just want to take a simple walk in the streets. Besides, didn’t we just receive a reward? Of course we should treat ourselves to a nice meal! Let’s go get the palace token from Chief Eunuch!"
Seeing that Le Yao Yao was serious, Little Muzi couldn’t resist her pleading and agreed.
At Chief Eunuch's place to retrieve the palace token, they were met with a heartfelt lecture from him, reminding Le Yao Yao that she must return before the hour of the Rooster because the prince would be back home at that time. This meant that Le Yao Yao and Little Muzi had two hours to wander around.
Although it wasn’t a long time, for Le Yao Yao, being able to step outside the royal palace and breathe some fresh air was a delightful experience.
After all, while she was in the palace, she always felt overwhelmed by the strict guards and numerous rules that made it hard for her to breathe.
So once she was out of the palace, Le Yao Yao felt like a bird released from its cage, flitting about excitedly while Little Muzi chased after her.
"Xiaoyaozi, don’t run so fast! Wait for me..."
"Hehe, Little Muzi, why are you running so slowly? Hurry up!"
Le Yao Yao laughed as she and Little Muzi quickly arrived at the largest and most prosperous street in the Capital City.
