"I naturally believe what General Zheng said." Gu Ning chuckled and reminded, "After all, my relationship with Concubine Chen is here, even if it is for Concubine Chen, General Zheng will surely Keeping promises."

Zheng Li heard Gu Ning's threatening words, his face froze, but he quickly nodded and said: "It's natural, the princess just don't worry."

Even though he knew that Gu Ning was threatening him, Zheng Li still couldn't bring up any resentment. All the things between him and Concubine Chen could not be blamed on Gu Ning, and even thanked Gu Ning for keeping the relationship between the two of them. life.

Thinking of this, he said: "Princess, the emperor has asked me to step up patrols in the palace in recent days, I am afraid it is directed at you. If you still want to go out, you might as well send someone to send a letter to the lower official first." , the next official can arrange the manpower, so that today's incident will not happen."

Zheng Li is thinking for Gu Ning from the bottom of his heart. Whether he and Concubine Chen can have a future depends on the Pei family. Nothing will happen to Gu Ning, and neither will the Pei family.

But Gu Ning waved his hand lightly: "No, I will travel with Concubine Chen in the future, and I will not go to some forbidden places in the palace in the future, so I won't bother General Zheng."

She didn't dare to put her life in Zheng Li's hands. Zheng Li was reliable, but the people around Zheng Li might not be reliable. If the news got out, wouldn't she be jumping into someone else's trap?

After this idea appeared in Gu Ning's head, under Zheng Li's gaze, he firmly rejected Zheng Li's proposal: "I have my own way."

When Zheng Li heard Gu Ning mentioning Concubine Chen, he panicked.

But Gu Ning made it clear that he was unwilling to accept his help, which made him very distressed.

After a while, he sighed and said: "Since the princess insists on this, the next official will not mention this matter any more."

"The lower official will immediately lead the person away, and I hope that the Princess can return to Concubine Chen's side during this period."

"General Zheng, don't worry." Gu Ning clapped his hands lightly, "with me here, concubine Chen will be fine."

When she said this, Zheng Li became even more worried.

But before Zheng Li could speak, Chunyu had already grabbed Gu Ning's hand, performed lightness kung fu, and disappeared into the woods with Gu Ning.

Zheng Li stood where he was, his eyes changing.

After a while, other scattered people found this place.

After Zheng Li saw them, he suddenly thought of why Gu Ning rejected his proposal just now.

He sized up these subordinates, and asked casually, as if very ordinary: "Didn't you be asked to look for traces of suspicious people in all directions? Why are you all here?"

A guard teacher replied: "Vice General Yuan asked us to come here, saying that you are fighting alone, if you meet those suspicious people, you may be injured, now Vice General Yuan has led people to chase south. "

"Vice General Yuan." Zheng Li recited these three words in his heart, and slowly clenched his hands.

No wonder the princess is unwilling to disclose his whereabouts to him. It turns out that there are people with ulterior motives like Deputy General Yuan beside him. He must be worried that he will betray the emperor!

Thinking of this, Zheng Li trembled in fear.

But soon he calmed down, and said to everyone: "I didn't find any trace of the suspicious person here, maybe it's in the south, follow me immediately to support Vice General Yuan."

"Yes!"

The guard's loud response was very loud in the woods, startling the birds.

Gu Ning saw such a big movement in the place where he was originally staying, and snorted coldly in his heart: "Sure enough, there are many emperor's eyeliners around Zheng Li."

"The emperor is suspicious by nature. Just one or two things are not enough to make Zheng Li the emperor's confidant. He naturally wants to send more people to watch Zheng Li." Chunyu said in a low voice, "Fortunately, the princess is smart. , did not contact Zheng Li."

Chunyu didn't realize until now that the emperor was so suspicious.

But when I think about it carefully, there are traces to follow. After all, her vision is too narrow.

Just before, she wanted to contact Zheng Li.

Seeing that Chunyu seemed to be in a low mood, Gu Ning patted her on the shoulder and said in a low voice, "Fortunately, you are here, otherwise, with my three-legged cat skill, I can't hide from the emperor's eyeliner."

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Chunyu's face again: "The princess is really pissing off the servants! The servants can only do such stupid things."

"You can't say that." Gu Ning immediately retorted, "I have my own strengths, and your strengths are martial arts. If you say that you can only do some stupid kung fu, wouldn't Yue Rong be even more stupid?"

When Chunyu heard this, she couldn't help laughing out loud.

At the same time, the even more stupid Yue Rong sneezed loudly.

He patted his chest in fear, fortunately what he did today was not hidden, otherwise, just one sneeze would be enough to expose his hiding place.

Xie Yan glanced at him with cold eyes, his back tightened, and he said hastily: "This subordinate may have caught a cold."

Xie Yan ignored his words, and only ordered: "Take advantage of the opportunity of patrolling the palace, and find those secret passages."

The first emperor dug many secret passages before, but they were all blocked by the emperor.

However, when Xie Yan learned from the eldest princess that Taizong was here, he also dug a few secret passages, and they were not blocked by the late emperor. If the entrances and exits of these secret passages can be found, his chances of winning will be even greater. .

The excavation of the secret passage is usually in a remote palace, otherwise it will attract attention.

And the most remote part of the entire imperial city is the cold palace where Concubine Xian lived.

Even though Concubine Xian was imprisoned in the cold palace, she still maintained her inherent demeanor. Even if her clothes were worn out and she had no jewelry, she still dressed neatly. She sat under the stone table in the courtyard and murmured: "Meng Yang, when will you Did you just come back to see the concubine?"

Seeing this, Yue Rong muttered in a low voice: "Concubine Xian has done a better job of superficial skills."

Although Concubine Xian is pretending to be crazy, she is not very clever, because the hatred in her eyes is too obvious, and she doesn't even hide it at all. Fortunately, the emperor is addicted to beauty and doesn't care about Concubine Xian at all, otherwise If not, Concubine Xian's life will not survive today.

"Don't say too much." Xie Yan winked at Yue Rong.

Seeing this, Yue Rong immediately climbed over the wall and tiptoed towards the main hall of the Leng Palace.

And at this moment, Concubine Xian who was sitting on the stone bench suddenly glanced in Yue Rong's direction.

Although it was only a superficial glance, it was enough to make Xie Yan vigilant.

Yue Rong noticed the change in Xie Yan's body and stopped immediately.

"Concubine Xian." Xie Yan walked out from a hidden corner, "Good eyesight."

Seeing Xie Yan who suddenly appeared, Concubine Xian made a panicked look.

But Xie Yan obviously didn't accept her move. After Concubine Xian screamed in horror, his tone was still calm: "It seems that you know the purpose of my visit today."

The hatred in Concubine Xian's eyes suddenly burst out at this moment, she stood up and approached Xie Yan step by step: "I don't know your purpose."

"But I know what you're looking for." Concubine Xian smiled lowly, "You're looking for a secret passage leading to the outside of the palace, right?"

These days in the cold palace, her body has become much thinner, and the sides of her cheeks have sunken even more. Now when she stares at people, people can't help but feel horrible. Even the little eunuch who delivers the food is not willing to step into the cold palace. Throw the food at the gate of the palace and ask Concubine Xian to get it.

However, Xie Yan's eyes were still calm, never fluctuating because of Concubine Xian's ferocious and terrifying face.

"Thank you for being so determined." Concubine Xian giggled, her appearance becoming more and more terrifying.

Seeing her like this, Yue Rong couldn't help rubbing his arms.

Seeing Concubine Xian's eyes, Xie Yan already had some guesses.

I'm afraid Concubine Xian already knows her true purpose, and even... her true identity?

Thinking of this, Xie Yan's eyes became sharper.

Concubine Xian put her messy hair behind her ears pretending to be elegant, and said in a low voice: "Master Xie, don't worry, I don't care about your identity at all, I just want to remind you that although I am a woman , and was rejected by the emperor, but I want to spread a word, it is very simple..."

"Concubine Xian, I don't care about your petty thoughts at all. I would like to remind you that the fourth prince died unjustly, and the murderer has not been able to bring him to justice. You really..."

Speaking of this, Xie Yan shut his mouth.

Concubine Xian firmly clasped the corner of the stone table, staring at Xie Yan with wide eyes: "Where is Meng Yang? Where is it!"

"If the subordinate's affairs are completed, I believe that the concubine Xian will be able to reunite with the second prince."

Xie Yan's voice was very cold, after dropping these words, Concubine Xian's eyes changed.

Her eyes have changed from ferocious to soft, and then from soft to complicated. There are several emotions in her eyes, and outsiders can't understand her mood at the moment.

After a while, Concubine Xian said word by word: "What do you want me to do?"

"I just hope that Concubine Xian can continue to maintain her previous state." Xie Yan urged, "Otherwise... I am afraid that not only the subordinates, but even the emperor will be suspicious.

Hearing these words, Concubine Xian's eyes became extremely ferocious.

But soon, her attitude became peaceful again.

"Bengong naturally understands what you said." When Concubine Xian spoke, her attitude became elegant again, "Bengong only has one purpose, and that is to avenge the Fourth Prince."

"Can you really kill the person behind the scenes for me?" Concubine Xian said suddenly, her eyes fixed on Xie Yan, her attitude was already very obvious.

Xie Yan knew that Concubine Xian had really guessed her purpose.

"If the concubine Xian wants to, she can kill the enemy with her own hands." Xie Yan said slowly.

Concubine Xian suddenly laughed loudly: "Okay! Good! Good!"

She laughed heartily, but tears welled up in her eyes: "As long as you can let Bengong kill your enemies! Let Bengong do whatever you want!"

"Where is the secret path?" Xie Yan asked immediately.

Concubine Xian wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said softly: "There is a mechanism on the pillar of the main hall, you only need to press it, and you can see the secret passage."

Yue Rong looked at Concubine Xian in shock, this secret passage leads directly to the outside of the palace, Concubine Xian is willing to suffer in the cold palace?

As if seeing Yue Rong's shock, Concubine Xian said softly: "The business of this palace has not been completed yet, why do you want to leave?"

"Go to the main hall and look for it." Xie Yan ordered.

Yue Rong nodded quickly, and ran to the main hall without saying a word.

Seeing Xie Yan's handsome face, Concubine Xian suddenly smiled: "Actually, you look very similar to the former prince, but the emperor has a guilty conscience and has long forgotten the appearance of the former prince, which allows you to hide your identity." .”

Hearing this, Xie Yan's eyes never fluctuated in the slightest.

Concubine Xian seemed to have not talked to anyone for a long time, but when she opened her mouth today, she seemed to be eloquent.

"I still remember that the county magistrate of Changning also came to look for me." Concubine Xian said softly, "She gave me the hope of living. Is she okay?"

"Everything is fine, princess."

Mentioning Gu Ning, Xie Yan's stern eyebrows finally showed a touch of softness.

Seeing this, the smile in Concubine Xian's eyes grew stronger, and tears gradually rolled down.

Once upon a time, she had imagined that her future husband would look like this, but in the end, her so-called husband was actually a man-eating monster!

She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said word by word: "When you kill him, you must tell me!"

"Okay." Xie Yan simply agreed.

Concubine Xian sat back on the stone bench again. She raised her head and stared blankly at the sky above her head, feeling that the haze above her head had dissipated a lot at this moment.

Finally... She finally got her hope!
