Bright Spring

"Yes, my lord." Wang Gui hurried out.

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu said kindly: "Little aunt, my father wants to send me to do an important matter. This is a very important matter, and there is no room for any mistakes. Not only is the survival of the whole family of the Yan Palace likely to be in one action, but also I will go there personally, and I will take great risks. If the news leaks out, I will be doomed!"

He paused and continued, "Little aunt is beside my concubine mother every day, she is at the center of the vital point, so she will surely find out about this matter sooner or later. I also want to trust my little aunt, but after all, you are a spy of the imperial court. I will let you ignore it. Too dangerous……

I neither have the heart to let you expose your identity, nor do I want to hurt you.After much deliberation, I had no choice but to make this bad move.Don't worry, little aunt, as long as this matter is over, I will definitely let you go. "

Xu Miaojin stared at Zhu Gaoxu's face, her bright and clear eyes were almost dripping water, but her panic was gone.

After a while, Wang Gui ran to the door and said, "My lord, the carriage is ready."

Zhu Gaoxu stepped forward, picked up Xu Miaojin, carried it on his shoulders, and strode out.

He put Xu Miaojin into the carriage first, and then got into the carriage himself.He said: "This carriage is a bit smelly, little auntie bear with it a little bit, I put a clean quilt underneath."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Gaoxu slapped the wooden board of the carriage, and ordered: "Go!"

There was a "crack" of the whip in front, and the carriage started to wobble.After a while, there was an unexpected "bang", and the wheel of the car was directly pushed out from the threshold.

The carriage stopped for a while, Wang Gui ran back and locked the gate.

Along the way, Xu Miaojin was very quiet, neither made a sound nor struggled, and seemed to give up resistance.Zhu Gaoxu took care of her and relaxed a little, but he didn't dare to be careless.Although the carriage tried to take the road with few people, there were still pedestrians outside from time to time.

Xu Miaojin, who was tightly bound, was lying on her side in the carriage. Her hair was already a little messy due to the previous toss, and a strand of black hair stuck to her cheek. Her body was curled up again, looking very pitiful.

I don't know how long after, the carriage stopped, Wang Gui got out of the carriage, and said: "Your Majesty, wait a moment, this servant is going to unlock the door. This north gate is usually locked from the inside because no one goes there. Today, this servant has made some preparations and locked it. It's outside."

"Go quickly." Zhu Gaoxu ordered from behind the curtain.

After a while, a heavy "ga" sound came from outside, and the north gate of Gaoyang County Prince's Mansion opened.

Chapter 94 Arrangement

On the northernmost side of the Prince's Mansion in Gaoyang County, there is a garden with illegal construction. In the garden, near the gatehouse of the inner hall, there are several houses, one of which has a wine cellar inside.

There used to be a stockpile of wine in the cellar, but now almost all of it has been removed, and the few jars left are thrown in the corner.It was dimly lit in here, and the light from the hole above could only illuminate a small area.

Xu Miaojin was tied hands and feet, and sat on a chair covered with soft fur.The ball of silk in her mouth has been taken out, and she can speak now, but she doesn't say a word, just silently watching Zhu Gaoxu busy there.

On the brick wall next to it, there is a picture with some lines drawn on it. Zhu Gaoxu seems to be rebuilding according to this picture. He not only designed it in advance, but also fell into the blueprint. It can be said that it is deliberate.

"This kind of cellar is most afraid of accumulating carbon dioxide." Zhu Gaoxu was talking, but Xu Miaojin was confused, as if he was listening to a scripture.

He rolled up his sleeves, held a shovel, and was digging a hole while standing on a pair of ladders.He put the excavated soil into a sack, hung it on the hook rope at the entrance of the cellar, and said to it: "Pull! Just put it in the house, and we will get it and pour it into the lake at night."

Zhu Gaoxu turned around, glanced at this side, and said: "The matter is in a hurry, I only prepared some things in advance, but I failed to repair the cellar, and now it is halfway through, so I can only rush to work overnight.

The hole I dug leads to a utility room, and there is a narrow passage outside the utility room, facing the northwest direction, it is like a vent.In the spring and autumn season, the wind at the tuyere is particularly strong.

As long as one window in the utility room is opened, the strong wind can flow into the house; after the hole is dug through and the other doors and windows of the utility room are locked, the wind can only go through this hole...and then through the cellar, Go out from the opening on the top to achieve the purpose of ventilation. "

Xu Miaojin was speechless.

What she didn't care about was whether the dark cellar was ventilated, so she frowned and said, "King Gao Yang imprisoned me at home, or in this cellar, have you ever thought about my innocence?"

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Wang Gui won't say anything, other than that, only you and I know."

Xu Miaojin almost cried: "Innocence is more than reputation."

Zhu Gaoxu frowned and said, "I didn't do anything to my little aunt!"

"Alas..." Xu Miaojin sighed and was speechless again.

Zhu Gaoxu came down from the ladder, went to the corner, picked up a jug of wine on the left and right, and picked up the shovel with one hand, turned his head and said, "I'll dig on it, and wait a while before I come down." After finishing speaking, he walked from the cellar entrance The original wooden stairs went up.

Xu Miaojin didn't blame Zhu Gaoxu, but at first he didn't expect him to do this, what he did was unimaginable!But after calming down and thinking about it for a while, she felt that this matter was not wrong.

Zhu Gaoxu seems to be going to the capital to do something, if the court finds out in advance, it will be a trap for himself.When Zhu Gaoxu knew that she was a spy, besides tying her... it seemed that he could only feel at ease if he got rid of her first.

Trust is indeed a luxury, and sometimes it costs too much.

But what a shame she was locked up in the cellar!After going through such a thing, what face do you have to show people?I don't know how long she will be locked up. During this period of time, who knows what kind of treatment she has suffered in the secret room?

After an unknown amount of time, a faint ray of light suddenly came in from above.The hole that Zhu Gaoxu dug is cleared!Sure enough, a gust of wind blew down immediately.

After a while, Zhu Gaoxu came in with four square stools in both hands, and then went up the wooden stairs silently, and came down holding some wooden boards.Xu Miaojin watched him work with complicated emotions, and at this moment he saw clearly that he was building a bed.

Xu Miaojin looked back at the small cellar, then at the bed, her face was hot.

She could tell day and night from the light above, and now the light was dimming, and candles were lit in the cellar, so it should be night.Zhu Gaoxu and Wang Gui are still busy.

Sometimes they didn't come down for a long time, Xu Miaojin felt a little scared, but she had no choice but to endure silently.

... The replaced candle was blown out, and the light at the entrance of the cave was gradually lit up, from night to day again.Zhu Gaoxu only slept for a short while last night, and he shamelessly slept in the cellar.

Xu Miaojin's hands and feet were not tied tightly, but she couldn't move freely. Now she feels pain in her back and back, which is very uncomfortable.

She struggled on the chair and changed her position slightly, opened her tired eyes, and soon found that the cellar had changed.She was so surprised that she really wanted to rub her eyes and see clearly at once.

The surrounding brick walls are covered with moon-blue silk curtains, and the breeze is blowing in through the ventilation holes, and the curtains are shaking gently, with red flower embroidery on them.The cellar no longer looked so shabby and gloomy.

"Do you like light blue?" Zhu Gaoxu said in a tired and deep voice, "I saw you wearing light blue dresses a few times, so I chose this color."

Xu Miaojin rolled his eyes at him and didn't say a word, but his heart was full of mixed emotions. He really didn't understand what his mood was, but at least he understood that she had never felt like this since she grew up.

There is also the wooden bed padded with four square stools, covered with soft and thick mattresses, and then covered with large blankets, with the sides hanging down to cover the stools.I haven't laid it down yet, but it looks very comfortable just by looking at it... Such a simple build, it looks very good.

There are still two curtains hanging in front of the bed, a translucent silk curtain and a thick blackout curtain, which are now rolled up, giving it a more bedroom feel.He didn't even forget to bring the pedals and put two pairs of cloth shoes.

In the corner of the wall at the foot of the bed, there is a bathtub with silk curtains still drawn; beside the bathtub is a round stool with white towels and a few glass bottles stacked on it.

At the head of the bed, there is a wooden table and an upholstered chair, and a row of books is placed vertically against the wall.What's more, there is a plum blossom in a vase on the top.The opposite corner was covered with a thick cloth curtain.

Xu Miaojin originally thought that he would be imprisoned like a prisoner, but he saw this scene. The place is not big and everything is available, and it was all arranged by the King of Gaoyang County himself.

Zhu Gaoxu took a long breath and said: "It's almost done at last, I have to wrong my aunt for a while. Later, I will remove the stairs. There is a twisted rope on it. I usually deliver food and water, and put it in Wang Gui's food box. After the little aunt finished eating, put the dishes and chopsticks back into the food box, and the things that need to be disposed of were all hooked by twisted ropes and Wang Gui got them out."

Xu Miaojin deliberately didn't respond to him, her face was red, and she felt very complicated in her heart, but she couldn't say it... What can she say?Do you want to thank King Gaoyang for his careful arrangement, and thank King Gaoyang for locking himself in a cellar?

Chapter 95 Fragrance

The rope on Xu Miaojin's body has been untied, and she paced back and forth in this dark place, moving | numb hands and feet.Before King Gaoyang left, he bought a few more things, candles, a charcoal stove, flint and steel, and several wooden barrels with covers filled with well water.

There is a thick cloth curtain covering the corner of the wall opposite the bed curtain, which should be a "changing" place.

The vents dug now are relatively small and located high.The only way to pass is the entrance of the wine cellar, and now the stairs have been removed; Xu Miaojin looked up and observed that no one could reach without a ladder, and there was an iron fence on it, so it was impossible to climb out.

The entrance above is also the place where internal and external things are exchanged through twisted ropes. Xu Miaojin's future expenses and waste to be sent out can only pass through this place.
