After landing, Wei Yunqing immediately left Yanxi Palace and walked in the direction of the Imperial Garden. Due to the limited location, Wei Yunqing could only see the patrol guards near Yanxi Palace before, but at least he could estimate how long it would take them to patrol to other places. However, there must be more than this team of patrol guards, and those are not something that Wei Yunqing can understand, she can only hope that she is lucky and will not meet other patrol guards.

Wei Yunqing walked in the direction of the Imperial Garden in horror, perhaps because she was lucky, she really didn't encounter other patrolmen. She was worried until she reached the imperial garden, and she was relieved.

In fact, now that she has changed into the clothes of a palace maid, there is no need to be so nervous, the patrol guards should treat her as an ordinary palace maid without hindrance. It's just to avoid more troubles, so it's natural that it's best if you don't meet it.

As soon as he entered the Imperial Garden, Wei Yunqing saw a group of people coming slowly from a distance, and hurriedly hid - if it was someone else, she could not hide, but the person who came was Concubine Zhuang, and the other party recognized her!

Fortunately, there was a rockery near Wei Yunqing, and she immediately hid behind the rockery, clinging to the rockery wall, holding her breath and waiting for the other party to pass.

Who knows, when the group passed by the rockery, they suddenly stopped and sat down in the pavilion next to the rockery. Wei Yunqing was so close to them that he was almost so frightened that his heart stopped. She used the excuse of taking a nap to kick everyone out of her room, but sooner or later they would find out that something was wrong, she didn't have much time, and if she delayed here for too long, she would probably fall short this time.

Wei Yunqing was about to tiptoe around here, trying to leave quietly, when he heard Concubine Zhuang on the other side ask, "Yinling, have you inquired about the situation of the Wei family outside the palace?" ”

Wei Yun stopped suddenly.

I only heard a gentle female voice say: "Hui Niangniang, it's almost." I heard that the Wei family bought a small courtyard alone, and he always showed his face, and he was not clear with General Yan Rusongyan. ”

Concubine Zhuang sneered: "That slut, this palace knows that she doesn't abide by women's morals and is a slut. Woman! ”

Yinling said again: "Yes, Niangniang." I heard that she never shies away from contact with foreign men, but it's really unethical! ”

"The emperor was deceived by her!" Concubine Zhuang said angrily.

Yinling said hesitantly, "But I heard...... The emperor knows the relationship between the Wei family and General Yan! ”

"What?" Concubine Zhuang was surprised.

"The slave also thinks it's strange." Yinling said strangely, "I don't know what kind of medicine the Wei family gave to the emperor, the emperor doesn't care at all, he knows that she is not clear with others, but he has to take her into the palace." Didn't the Wei family beat the emperor two days ago and was locked up by the emperor? In this way, the emperor still did not punish her. Slave maid look, that Wei is a little weird. ”

Concubine Zhuang was silent for a moment and asked, "You said before that the Wei family beat the emperor because she wanted to leave the palace, but the emperor didn't let her go?" ”

"Yes, sis." Yinling was puzzled, "The women in this world all want to become women in the harem, the higher they climb, the better, they prefer her, obviously as soon as she enters the palace, she is already the position of the imperial concubine, and she is only one step away from the queen, and I don't know what she is thinking, she has to leave the palace." Could it be that she wants to capture the old and indulge, saying that she wants to get out of the palace, but in fact she wants the position of queen? ”

"Hmph, just her?" Concubine Zhuang sneered, but after a while, she said in a low voice, "Xu Yes...... She just wants to grow old with General Yan. ”

"Mother?" Yinling called Concubine Zhuang with some concern.

Concubine Zhuang's momentary sigh immediately dissipated without a trace, and she snorted coldly: "There is nothing to do in this palace." The position that others have worked so hard to want, but Wei shirks it in every possible way, which is also hypocritical! This palace wants to see how long she can shirk after tasting the most prosperous and honorable days in the world! ”

Wei Yunqing listened silently, and said secretly, this Concubine Zhuang said as if she had never seen the world, she had never seen or played anything in modern times, and there were many people in the ancient palace, which was very suitable for lazy people who just wanted to lie on the bed and were unwilling to do anything, in addition, the degree of fun, richness and convenience were not as good as those in modern times, not to mention that there was no freedom here, so it was strange that she would miss the days in this palace.

"Send someone to explore outside the palace in a while, how did Yan Rusong react." Concubine Zhuang suddenly said again.

Yinling said: "Yes, Niangniang, why don't you let the little orange go?" ”

"Well, that kid is clever, let him go." Concubine Zhuang did not object.

Wei Yunqing's eyes lit up, isn't this a good opportunity to leave the palace? She can pretend to be the little eunuch in Concubine Zhuang's palace and rob the palace token in the hand of the little orange, once she leaves the palace, the sky is high and the bird will fly.

She quietly poked her head out and saw that Yinling, the big palace maid beside Concubine Zhuang, called a young chamberlain, gave him a token, told him a few words, and let him leave. Wei Yunqing immediately quietly bypassed the rockery, waited quietly for a few seconds, and then ran out in an instant, hiding behind a big tree in front of her, and after tossing and turning like this a few times, she left where Concubine Zhuang and the others were, and followed the chamberlain called Little Orange.

"By the way, Sun Shoufu is still ......"

There was a faint sound of discussion between Concubine Zhuang and Yinling behind him, but Wei Yunqing was far away and could no longer hear clearly. She didn't care much about it, thinking that what they were talking about was Sun Shoufu helping her plead with Yang Yi. Although she didn't know the news of the previous dynasty, she knew that Sun Shoufu would not ignore her wishes, and she believed that the respected old man would ask the emperor for her. It's just that at the moment, it doesn't have any effect.

When she has the opportunity in the future, she must thank Master Sun well.

Wei Yunqing followed the little orange for a while, and soon caught up with him, seeing that there was no one around, she hurriedly greeted: "The father-in-law in front!" ”

The little orange was in a hurry to leave the palace to run errands, and at first he didn't hear Wei Yunqing calling him, until Wei Yunqing called twice, he stopped and turned around and wondered: "This sister, are you calling me?" ”

"Yes, little father-in-law!" Wei Yunqing smiled, "You're next to Concubine Zhuang, right?" ”

"Exactly. I wonder what my sister is looking for me? Little Tangerine said strangely. He had only seen Wei Yunqing once before, when she was dressed as the imperial concubine, and now she was dressed plainly, so he didn't recognize that the person dressed as the palace maid in front of him was the imperial concubine he hated the most at the moment.

Wei Yunqing smiled and said, "It's not me who is looking for you, it's Cao Jun and Father-in-law Cao, go and take a look!" ”

"Grandpa Cao? Why is he looking for me? Little Tangerine said strangely.

"How do I know that? You'd better go and ask Grandpa Cao by yourself! Wei Yunqing shrugged.

The little orange nodded again and again, took two steps back, suddenly remembered something, and turned around and said, "This sister, have I seen you anywhere?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the stone that Wei Yunqing had just picked up from the rockery smashed into his forehead, and he rolled his eyes and fainted. Wei Yunqing hurriedly looked around, dragged him to a hidden place, took out the token given to him by Concubine Zhuang from him, took off his clothes, changed himself, changed his hairstyle, put on his hat, turned into a little chamberlain, and walked towards Xuanwu Gate.

When he saw the Xuanwu Gate from afar, Wei Yunqing's heart beat rapidly. Just across the door, there's the free world.

She tried her best to suppress her overexcitement and walked slowly forward. When she reached the guard at the door, she was stopped.

"Who, what is the matter with leaving the palace? Is there a token? The man asked with a grim face.

Wei Yunqing glanced at it quickly, and found that there was no leader of the guards when she left the palace before, so he relaxed a little, pinched his throat and said: "The slave maid is the little Weizi in Concubine Zhuang's palace, and she has to go out of the palace on the order of Concubine Zhuang, and ask the adults to let her go." As she spoke, she took out the token, and when she handed it over, she hid a piece of silver that she had easily touched from the little orange under the token.

The guard touched the silver first, and then smiled on his face, and then saw that the token was genuine, so he let go and said with a smile: "Little father-in-law, you have to come back early, don't miss the time when the palace gate is locked." ”

"Your Excellency is polite, the slave remembers the hour, and she will definitely come back before the palace gate is locked." Wei Yunqing said with a smile.

The guards let Wei Yunqing pass, she was sweating in her heart, but she tried to put a natural smile on her face, and slowly walked through the aisle where there were many guards, and walked towards the outside of the palace and towards her freedom.

One step, two steps......

It's less than ten meters away...... Five-meter ......

"Catch him! He's suspicious, get him! Far away, someone shouted.

Wei Yunqing looked back and found that it was a brocade guard who was shouting, and not far behind him was followed by a little orange who was only wearing a middle coat and running out of breath with his head covered.

Wei Yunqing was shocked, and when she turned her head again, she was only one step away from the outside of the palace, how could she succeed?

She didn't care if she could run away or not, and ran out with all her might.

It's just that under the shouts of the Jinyi guard, the guards on both sides have come back to their senses and formed a human wall in front of her, she is not a peerless martial arts master, so naturally she can't escape.

She was brought to the brocade guard with her hands cut off behind her back, and he asked, "Who are you?" What did you do to knock him unconscious? ”

Wei Yunqing did not answer.

The little orange covered her head on the side, glared at Wei Yunqing fiercely, and shouted, "She also snatched my clothes!" He almost recognized Wei Yunqing before, but after she knocked on the door, he forgot all the things he had thought about before.

"Shut up!" The brocade guard glanced at the little orange impatiently, then turned to Wei Yunqing, and said sternly, "Don't you say yes?" Okay, I'll give you a taste of prison! ”

He waved his hand, and his brocade guards took Wei Yunqing outside the palace - the edict was not in the palace, but outside the palace.

Seeing that she stepped through the palace gate in one step, Wei Yunqing had a complicated feeling - she had left the palace in the end, but she didn't expect it to be like this.

However, is it easy to escape from the palace, or is it easy to escape from the edict?

On the way to the imperial prison, Wei Yunqing had been silent, and she was seriously considering whether to tell her identity as the imperial concubine.

If she reveals her identity, she will inevitably be respectfully sent back to the palace. Then, in that heavily guarded palace, it would be much more difficult to escape again, when she had already escaped once, which would inevitably arouse their vigilance. But if she doesn't say it, she will naturally be imprisoned in the Imperial Prison, and the Imperial Prison, this legendary hell, seems to have unjustly killed many people, and it is an extremely terrifying place, but there, no one knows her true identity, is it possible for her to bribe someone to let him go?

Wei Yunqing thought of the silver ticket hidden in the mezzanine of her clothes, if she wanted to escape from the palace and survive outside the palace, she couldn't do it without money, she didn't want to abuse herself, and the money she brought was naturally enough.

It wasn't until she came to the Imperial Prison that Wei Yunqing finally made up her mind - she didn't want to go back to the palace, she didn't believe that she couldn't find a Jinyi guard who dared to take bribes and let her go!

The place of the edict prison is even more terrifying than Wei Yunqing imagined, not to mention the dirty and chaotic environment, there are people screaming like unjust souls in the daytime, which shows the gloom here. As she walked, she could see the tragic situation of the people in the cells around her, and she couldn't help but look away.

She was finally pushed into a stench cell, and the brocade guard clapped his hands in disgust and left, not immediately arraigning Wei Yunqing.

She stood in the middle of the cell, frowning and looking around, surrounded by a few people held in bits and pieces, their faces haggard and numb, showing no interest in her as a newcomer. She used to be in prison, and compared with the edict prison, the prison in Xuancheng was like heaven on earth.

Wei Yunqing stood at the door of the cell and looked out.

There were a few brocade guards on duty outside the cell, and she looked at them one by one, trying to find the brocade guards who seemed to be the easiest to bribe. After looking at it for a long time, she finally chose someone and shouted, "My lord! I have inside. I want to tell you! It's about the anti-Liang rebellion! They plan to assassinate the Emperor! ”

Assassinating the emperor is a big event, and the brocade guard didn't dare to slack off, and immediately came over and said, "What did you say?" Let's go into more detail! ”

Wei Yunqing said: "My lord, please come here with your ears, this matter is very important, please allow me to explain to you slowly." ”

The brocade guard narrowed his eyes slightly, didn't lean over, only sneered and said: "If you have important information, just say that you want to trick me into getting close to the cell, you save that thought!" ”

The vigilance of this Jinyi guard is not unreasonable, there was once a court prisoner who was imprisoned in the edict, because he knew that he could not escape death, and at the moment of death, he used similar words to let the Jinyi guard on duty approach, and bit off the other party's ear, this matter has become known to everyone in the brocade guard, and no one dares to attach his ear to the edict prison anymore - it's not that he has too many ears!

Wei Yunqing didn't know the reason for this, seeing that the brocade guard was full of vigilance, although she was puzzled, she didn't think much about it, she only lowered her voice and said: "My lord, I didn't want to lie to you, it's just that this matter is really important......

As she spoke, she took out a fifty-tael ticket from her bosom, flashed it in front of his eyes, and immediately took it back.

The brocade guard's eyes lit up, and he finally got a little closer, and said in a low voice: "What do you mean by this?" ”

Wei Yunqing hurriedly said, "My lord, I want to ...... Can you be accommodating and let me out? I was really wronged, I didn't do anything, but I was arrested. You see, I'm still wearing the clothes of an inner servant, I can't hide it, I am the inner servant next to Concubine Zhuang in the palace, who knows that I accidentally bumped into an adult of yours here, he said that I want to rebel, and arrested me. I'm in a hurry to do things for Concubine Zhuang, I have to go back before the palace gate is locked, where can I afford the delay? I just asked the adults to let me go, and when I returned to the palace, I told Concubine Zhuang Niangniang, and Niangniang must have a thank you gift. ”

Wei Yunqing's excuse was to get his hands on it. She had already observed that the people who arrested her were not the same people as those on duty in the prison, and the people who arrested her did not seem to have confessed her crimes, so she made up such a lie again, hoping that this brocade guard would not use his brains too much, and let her go directly for the sake of money.

She deliberately said such things, naturally to let Jin Yiwei relax and facilitate his decision to let her go. If she told the other party that she had robbed someone else's token and escaped from the palace, I am afraid that this brocade guard would not have let her go, but if she said the whole thing so legitimately, in his opinion, this is just a trivial matter, not only can she get fifty taels of silver, but she can also get Concubine Zhuang's gratitude afterwards, why not?

"You're right, but really?" The brocade guard was already moved, but he was still struggling.

Wei Yunqing hurriedly added a fire, and handed over the fifty taels of silver directly: "My lord, the villain promises, if there is a lie in what I say, the sky will thunder!" Fortunately, she is not superstitious, and she doesn't believe in swearing at all, "My lord, if you don't believe it, you can go back to the palace with me, and when the time comes, there will be people around Concubine Zhuang to prove that what I said is true." ”

As soon as these words came out, the brocade guard had no doubts, he thought, since the little chamberlain in front of him could say such a thing, he thought that he would be a person in Concubine Zhuang's palace, otherwise how could he dare to confront him face to face?

What he didn't expect was that what Wei Yunqing was thinking at the moment was to wait for the edict to get out of prison, if this brocade guard really wanted to go back to the palace with her to ask, she would immediately find a way to get rid of him.

"You come with me." The brocade guard took the silver ticket and opened the door of Wei Yunqing's cell and let her out.

Wei Yunqing was excited in his heart, and hurriedly walked out of the cell and followed the brocade guard outside.

Just after walking a short distance, a Jinyi guard, who was also on duty, asked: "Li Xun, what are you doing with the prisoners?" ”

"Caught the wrong person!" Li Xun waved his hand, "I'll explain to my brother when my little brother comes back." ”

The brocade guard smiled knowingly, waved his hand and said, "You kid should come back early!" ”

"Definitely, definitely!" Li Xun was a little heartbroken about the silver that had just arrived, but he thought that everyone would drink wine together and earn silver together on weekdays, so it was a little easier.

Wei Yunqing followed Li Xun out without saying a word, but the other party suddenly stopped and said in a loud voice: "See Lord Pacification!" There was five points of respect and five points of fear in his voice.

Wei Yunqing was startled, and subconsciously wanted to raise her head, but the name of a person in her mind corresponded to this official position, so she hurriedly lowered her head and stood aside silently.

The person who came was Baili Yue, as the envoy of the Beizhen Fusi, he was in charge of the edict prison, and he was the head of the edict prison, although the grade was not high, but if he had something, he could report directly to the emperor, and he didn't need Bai Benwei, and he had a lot of power.

He glanced at his subordinates casually, his gaze naturally swept over the little attendant who followed him, nodded slightly, and continued to move forward, but after only taking a step forward, he stopped, turned around and shouted at Wei Yunqing, who had just taken two steps, "You, turn your head." ”

Wei Yunqing was shocked, and silently told himself that this person's name was not himself, not himself, not himself......

But Li Xun in front of her immediately stopped and said solemnly to her: "Don't you listen to the order?" ”

Wei Yunqing was counting on the other party's poor memory, expecting her male appearance to deceive people, and hesitated for a long time before turning around helplessly.

Bai Liyue frowned and said, "Look up." ”

Wei Yunqing cried in her heart that she was unlucky, seeing that she was only one step away from freedom, but she fell short, she felt that her doom in her life must have fallen today.

She raised her head as if she was dead, but she didn't dare to look directly into Baili Yue's eyes, and her gaze fell silently to the ground.

Bai Liyue frowned slightly, the person in front of him seemed to be a little familiar, he thought about it carefully, and suddenly thought that if there was not a man in front of him, but a woman, then ......

"Miss Wei?" Baili Yue raised his eyebrows, and then sneered, "No, I should call you the imperial concubine." ”

Listening to Baili Yue's words, Li Xun's jaw dropped in shock, and he looked at Wei Yunqing speechless in surprise.

Bai Liyue looked at Wei Yunqing's face like ashes, and slowly hooked the corners of his lips.

Wei Yunqing's matter caused a lot of turmoil in the Liang court, that day he only knew that she had a relationship with Yan Rusong, and later after Liang Baihu's confession and his own investigation, he found that Wei Yunqing's woman was really not simple.

He didn't recognize Wei Yunqing at first glance just now, but he had trained a pair of fiery eyes in the edict and prison, and he found that the figure of the chamberlain was too slim, like a woman, so he stopped him, who knew that it was not "him", but "she". Moreover, she is now one of the emperor's harems, and the imperial concubine Wei who should have stayed in the palace.

"My lord, you recognized the wrong person, I don't know what you're talking about." Wei Yunqing continued to pinch his throat and said, "The slave maid is a subordinate in Concubine Zhuang's palace, and this time she left the palace to do something for her mother, and she was caught here by mistake." Some people also said that the slave and the maid looked alike with the imperial concubine, and I think the adults misunderstood because of this. ”

When Li Xun heard this, the expression on his face was slightly softened, and he felt a kind of relief. He said, the imperial concubine is so noble, how can she appear in the edict and pretend to be a servant?

Bai Liyue sneered, and with a movement of her hand, she saw a cold light flashing, and the embroidered spring knife slashed across Wei Yunqing's head, and the hat she was wearing fell to the ground, and the green silk scattered, revealing her female identity.

After all, it wasn't when she just escaped from the battlefield, she could still smear mud on her face and pretend to be a man, and she wouldn't show her stuff. She thought of pretending to be a eunuch temporarily, and she didn't make up any makeup on her face, but fortunately, the eunuch was feminine enough, and her appearance was at most considered a beautiful eunuch, and it would not lead people to think that she was a woman. But who knew that Baili Yue didn't eat her and directly scattered her hair, so that no one believed her when she said that she was a eunuch!

Wei Yunqing was stunned, and quickly reacted, and said sharply: "Baili Yue, how dare you be rude to this palace?" ”

Baili Yue was stunned, Wei Yunqing had changed too much before and after, and he didn't react for a while.

Wei Yunqing frowned, and said coldly: "You wait, see if this palace doesn't sue you in front of the emperor, the official position of the envoy of the Beizhen Fusi, see how long you can sit!" ”

Bai Liyue stared at Wei Yunqing for a long time, and suddenly raised his eyebrows and said, "It seems that I confessed my mistake, you are indeed not the imperial concubine." ”

This time it was Wei Yunqing's turn to be stunned.

She originally thought that since she had been recognized by Baili Yue, she would simply admit her identity, scare him, and leave the edict first to see if she could find a chance to slip away again. didn't expect him to deny her identity, and this was what she said at the beginning! Even if someone investigates him in the future, he won't be able to catch the slightest mistake!

Moreover, in order to escape, she deliberately put on the prestige of the imperial concubine to intimidate Baili Yue, he would not decide to treat her as a fake imperial concubine because he was afraid that she would really sue Yang Yi, and was ready to kill people, right? This is an edict, I don't know how many people die every day, and it's not too many to have an anonymous person......

Thinking of the tragic situation in the edict, Wei Yunqing was afraid, and said with a reluctant smile on his face: "Lord Baili...... Hongu was just joking with you. The lord recognized the palace and escorted the palace back to the palace, he was the great benefactor of the palace, how could the palace say bad things about you to the emperor? On the contrary, the palace will also praise you vigorously to the emperor, so that he knows that he has such a young and promising, loyal, resolute, loyal and sharp-eyed official. Your Excellency is a role model for all officials in the court, and the emperor will definitely reward you vigorously when the time comes. ”

Although he deliberately softened his attitude, Wei Yunqing still beat the drum in his heart. This Baili Yue's character is really not good, even if she clearly says that she will not complain to the emperor, I don't know how he will choose? If he had a choice, Wei Yunqing would definitely not choose to escape the situation of possible extinction at the cost of admitting himself as the imperial concubine. It's just that instead of being killed quietly, she would rather choose to return to the palace, at least then she still has a chance to escape.

Baili Yue didn't shy away from anything, looked directly at Wei Yunqing, and looked at her seriously. This was the first time he did not look at her with the label of "Yan Rusong's good friend" and "the emperor's woman", and after a while, he came to a conclusion - such a wonderful woman is indeed worthy of the competition between the monarch and the minister.

"Imperial Concubine Niangniang......" Bai Liyue said meaningfully, and the end note was slightly raised, so that it was impossible to hear whether he was acknowledging her identity or questioning her words.

Wei Yunqing's heart contracted, and that breath almost reached his throat. This person is so annoying, it's better to recognize her or not! If she recognizes her, she will immediately go back to the palace to stay away from him, and if she does not recognize her, she will ...... Let's see if you can bribe him with money......

But seeing Bai Liyue's words suddenly changed, he smiled and said, "Do you know that Lord Chengji, the first assistant, is also in prison?" He was imprisoned for persuading the emperor to let the imperial concubine Niangniang out of the palace. 166 Reading Network
