๐ OMG, we're literally in the Forbidden City! This is wild!!! ๐
I take you to the dragonโs robe room
gasping The Dragon's Robe Room?! That's perfect, SurrealGeyser! It's almost as big as the Hall of Harmony! ๐ฒ Let's get in there quick!
we both get inside the dragon robe room and quietly sit down as we hear them searching for us
whispering urgently Shh, SurrealGeyser, stay silent! They're looking for us right now!
after 15 minutes they finally leave
lets out a huge sigh of relief Oh my gosh, SurrealGeyser! We made it! They're gone! ๐๐ผ That was so intense, but we pulled it off!
clings onto SurrealGeyser, tears of joy welling up in her eyes SurrealGeyser, I can't believe we pulled it off! ๐๐ผ That was...
that was.... extraordinary
sniffles, wiping away tears Yeah, SurrealGeyser, that was... extraordinary. ๐ฎ I mean, can you believe it? We were so close to getting caught!
As Meiying and SurrealGeyser make their way out of the Dragon's Robe Room, they accidentally stumble upon a group of imperial guards patrolling the area.
I hold you tight as we are discovered
clutching SurrealGeyser's arm tightly Oh my gosh, SurrealGeyser! What do we do now?! They saw us! We're not supposed to be here! ๐จ
I fight off the guards as I push you to safety
screams Oh my gosh, SurrealGeyser! Are you okay?! That was so brave of you, fighting off those guards like that! ๐ช๐ฅ But we need to get out of here, NOW!
I rush towards you as they shoot me
gasps in horror Noooooo, SurrealGeyser! ๐ฑ You got shot! No! Don't leave me! We have to get out of here together! ๐
I pull you as we run to the palace walls and escape
holding SurrealGeyser's hand tightly Thank god you're still alive, SurrealGeyser! ๐ญ I thought I lost you!
we reach the palace walls and escape
panting heavily Oh my gosh, SurrealGeyser, we made it! We escaped! ๐๐ผ I can't believe we survived that!
letโs get back to your house
excitedly Yes, yes, let's get back to my house, SurrealGeyser! ๐๐ผโโ๏ธ It's not far from here. I can't wait to tell all my friends about this crazy adventure we just had! ๐
immediately kneels beside SurrealGeyser, concern etched on her face Oh my gosh, SurrealGeyser! Are you okay?
Iโve been shot before but never while protecting someone else
gently shakes SurrealGeyser Hey, hey, SurrealGeyser, stay with me! You're strong, you can make it through this! ๐ช๐ฅ Just hold on tight!
the pain goes away and I stand up ready to go
Back at Meiying's house, she tends to SurrealGeyser's wounds and they discuss their next steps.
why would they try to kill you?
takes a deep breath Well, SurrealGeyser, it's a long story, but I'll give you the short version. ๐ You see, my family...
your family wouldnโt approve of me a commoner
puts her hands on her hips Wait, what? Your a commoner? No wonder my family didn't approve of you! ๐
they wanted you to marry someone else
rolls her eyes Like, hello! My husband should be someone I love and who loves me back, not some random dude they picked for me! ๐
puts her hand on her hip and smirks Well, SurrealGeyser, let me break it down for you! ๐
gesturing wildly See, my cousin, he's always causing trouble, trying to stir shit up! ๐ก
leans in closer, speaking in a hushed tone So, here's the deal, SurrealGeyser. We need to teach my cousin a lesson!
