"Alright, I'll go out and wait for you first." With his words, An Xiaomian was completely at ease.
Because the Shimen could be opened at any time, as long as he was still inside, if he couldn't get out, he could open the Shimen, and by then, she would come back to accompany him.
She nodded, then relaxed and walked towards the door.
Just then, she heard hurried footsteps behind her in the corridor and someone calling her name. She paused, glanced back, and saw a group of Imperial Guards about ten meters behind Shangguan Xiu. When they saw her, they urgently shouted, "Princess Xiaomian..."
An Xiaomian panicked and quickly ran out of the Shimen, then shouted to Shangguan Xiu, "Shangguan Xiu, come out, quickly..."
Actually, Shangguan Xiu had heard someone coming earlier, but he didn't tell An Xiaomian for fear of scaring her.
Now, the Imperial Guards had finally caught up. Seeing An Xiaomian also running out, he wasted no time.
