Chapter 886: A Secret Passage
I have a way to get out of here. When the princess suddenly said this, Nameless and Yuan Zhen were stunned. The princess had been in this unknown prison longer than either of them, and she was trapped here, still holding the cold body of the prince in her arms, but she said she could get out...... Although it is surprising, it should be asked.
"I wonder what the princess can do?"
The princess looked down at the corpse that was already cold in her arms, and when she looked up again, a smile was already on the corner of her lips. However, this smile is different from the smiling face at other times, if the smile at other times can bring people a sense of comfort like a breeze, then the smile on the princess's face at this time is a pool of stagnant water that cannot make waves, and there is no life at all.
"If I send you out, will you do something for me?"
Nameless Yuanzhen glanced at each other and nodded: "Please also ask the princess to explain in detail."
It's night, the capital.
The fire came very suddenly, and at first there was nothing unusual about it, but in the blink of an eye, the fire was blazing. The red flames devoured everything in the terrified gaze of the people, like a smiling devil, and the sky was full of ashes like stars.
"It's on fire, it's on fire, come and put out the fire!"
The place where the fire caught fire was a prestigious restaurant, and there were even a lot of people in the restaurant eating, drinking and having fun when the fire burned, and when the flames burned, people were frightened one by one, and ran out of the soles of their feet in the oily wind, for fear that if they ran one step slower, their lives would be explained in this raging fire!
The form has been so severe that there are still people who are not afraid of death and want to rush into the restaurant, but the fire is too big, and they can't do anything even if they want to go in, so they can only choose to accept the reality helplessly.
Several people looked at each other and let out a helpless sigh.
One of the highest-ranking men was in charge of going to the palace to report the news, and he rode his horse through the streets all the way to the royal study, and showed his waist badge, and arrived at his destination with ease. At this time, Gonggong Zhao was guarding in front of the imperial study, and when he saw him coming, his face changed slightly: "Just now, our family saw a sudden fire, and the fire has not been extinguished yet...... Isn't it a fire in a restaurant? ”
The man nodded solemnly: "I entered the palace this time to report the fire of His Highness, and I hope that my father-in-law will make it convenient."
As the prince's confidant, Zhao Gonggong naturally knows the restaurant and the meaning it represents! If Your Highness knew about this, he would have to lose his temper! He went into the imperial study to report the situation.
"Your Highness, someone just came to report that the restaurant in the east of the city suddenly caught fire, and the fire has not been extinguished so far."
The person who was reading the mountain-high recitals on the table slowly raised his head, twisted his brows and asked, "What about the people locked up in the dungeon?" Where are they now? ”
Zhao Gonggong stubbornly said: "None of the people have been rescued." The fire was so great that even the minions could see it in the palace, and the fire came so strangely that it burned almost instantly, and by the time people found out that something was wrong, the fire had already blocked all the roads! Those who were imprisoned in the dungeon must have died in the fire here. ”
Holding the inkstone raised his eyebrows slightly, a complicated mood lingered in his mind.
He's dead? It's so good, it's just a pity that he wanted to torture these people before, especially the shameless princess, one of them has unparalleled medical skills in the world, and the other has a talent for making poison that ordinary people can't match, and they died quietly before they could exert their abilities, and it's really pitiful when you think about it.
But he didn't mean to be sad for them, and after telling Gonggong Zhao to go and see Bai Huan, he buried his head in the fold pile again and never raised his head.
Gonggong Zhao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this situation, fortunately, His Highness did not blame!
After being hopeless of separating from Yu, Feng Changqi and the others dressed up in disguise and rushed for a whole day, with the aim of arriving at the palace as soon as possible. Bai Huan's situation was so bad, Feng Changqi was worried that if it dragged on like this, he wouldn't even be able to see Bai Huan for the last time, so he was extremely anxious.
At first, their plan was to divide their troops into two routes, Yu Wuwang took the token and the letter written by Bai Huan to the northwest camp to find General Lu Minglu who was guarding the border pass, and the others went north to the capital in disguise, and finally Feng Changqi walked through the secret passage to the palace alone.
Yueqing really wanted to accompany Feng Changqi back to the palace together, but Wu Xi insisted on pulling her and said that he would not let her lie in this troubled water, so Yueqing gave up.
The two of them didn't even enter the capital, and stopped at a long distance.
"Ahem, we're here waiting for your news." Wu Xi said with an uncomfortable face.
Feng Changqi can understand his current mood, Yueqing was finally found by him, and it took a lot of effort to persuade him to get back together. Neither of them is from Meng Liguo, and they really shouldn't be involved in this troubled water, so Feng Changqi nodded vigorously: "If you find something wrong, you don't have to wait for me, just escape from here."
"You don't need to be reminded of this, we know it ourselves."
Qingxiu, who had been standing quietly next to her and didn't say a word from beginning to end, suddenly opened her mouth: "Your Highness, let the slave maid follow His Highness into the palace together, the slave maid came out of the secret passage, and she is more familiar with the situation inside, maybe she can lead the way for His Highness or something!" Please also ask Your Highness to fulfill the hearts of the slaves! ”
Feng Changqi furrowed his brows.
The reason why they brought Qingxiu to the capital was because of the secret passage. Where is the entrance to the secret passage to the palace, Feng Changqi has never heard anyone talk about it, and Qingxiu in their group knows the specific location, Feng Changqi is afraid that he can't find the way when he arrives at the place, so he brought Qingxiu over. Qingxiu offered to go back to the palace with her, which was something Feng Changqi never expected.
Surprise is surprise, but she still resolutely chose to shake her head: "It's too dangerous." You finally escaped from the palace, why do you still want to go in, you know that the current palace is so dangerous...... I'd better go on my own. ”
Qingxiu shook her head again and again, her delicate face was full of firm emotion: "Your Highness, let the slave maid go in with you!" The slave maid was originally an orphan, and after entering the palace, she was bullied because of her personality, and if it weren't for His Majesty's kindness, the slave and maid wouldn't even be able to live to this day. A long, long time ago, the slave maid wanted to repay His Majesty, but she never had a chance! Now I finally have the opportunity to repay Your Majesty and Your Highness, and I hope that Your Highness can fulfill the mind of the slave! ”
Feng Changqi originally wanted to refuse, but her lips moved slightly, and before she could say anything, Wu Xi beside her said: "Don't refuse people anymore, it's better to give her a chance."
"But it's just too dangerous......"
Wu Xi smiled softly: "Daring to say such a thing to you shows that she has made all the psychological preparations, and even thinks of the possibility of her own death, why should you worry about her?" Didn't you even know about that secret passage, and never even walked it? Wouldn't it be more convenient to have someone who walks by to show you the way than to explore it yourself? ”
Under the offensive of Wu Xi's words, Feng Changqi was a little shaken.
Qingxiu made persistent efforts and knelt on the ground: "Please also ask Your Highness to fulfill the slave's heart!"
It's obviously an extremely dangerous thing, and being moved by her like this makes Feng Changqi seem a little unkind! Feng Changqi pressed his temples with a faint pain, and finally chose to nod: "You must remember to protect yourself."
"Slave understands!"
The group of four people was divided into two teams again, Feng Changqi and Qingxiu went to the entrance of the secret passage, preparing to enter the Forbidden City through the secret passage, while Wu Xi and Yueqing stayed where they were.
Looking at the backs of the two of them drifting apart, Yue Qing frowned.
Wu Xi stood behind her: "Yueqing, what are you thinking?" You can't want to enter the palace with them, right? ”
Yueqing glared back at him. In fact, she really had this kind of thought, but because she had just promised Wu Xi that she would not go, she would accompany him and others here, so she canceled her plan.
"Don't think everyone is as untrustworthy as you are, I promised you that you wouldn't go, then you wouldn't go back."
The expression on Wu Xi's face changed from tangled to joy: "It's good if you don't go, it's good if you don't go!"
Yue Qing glanced at him and turned his gaze to the direction of the palace: "What did you say that he put His Majesty under house arrest for, to control His Majesty in order to control the entire Meng Li Kingdom?"
Yueqing himself does not understand much about the affairs of the court, but Wu Xi knows that after all, he is also the king of a country, and he is naturally more familiar with this kind of power struggle than ordinary people, so after Yueqing opened his mouth, he immediately began to think about a certain possibility: "I don't think his actions are like to control Meng Liguo, but to lure someone out." At least for now. Yueqing thinks that he can make a human skin mask that is so similar to the victim, why don't you choose to directly dress up as the queen of Meng Liguo, no matter how bad it is, just kill the queen and replace her as a prince, and then order someone to assassinate Feng Changqi, so that she can never return to Meng Liguo. However, he chose the most troublesome path. ”
is really worthy of being the king of a country, as the winner of a certain power struggle, Wu Xi has seen it too thoroughly, and all the things that he might think of were guessed by him, except for admiration at this time. Yueqing couldn't think of another emotion.
"Your analysis is very reasonable, so what is the purpose of holding the inkstone?"
Hearing this question, Wu Xi breathed a little, subconsciously glanced in the direction where Feng Changqi and the others left, and took a deep breath: "I can't think of the purpose of holding the inkstone."
Yueqing's eyes were slightly fascinated, and she had already seen one thing from the details: "What you said is not the truth at all."
