A New Character Every Month

Feifei pushed the cabinet hard, and then some mechanism was activated, and an entrance with a length and width of half a meter appeared under the cabinet.
Under Lilian's puzzled eyes, Feifei explained: "This secret passage leads to the outside of the palace, and it is the only way you can escape now."
"Secret way?"
Lilian fell into deep thought. She had never heard of such a secret passage in the palace before, otherwise she would have escaped from the palace a long time ago. With the appeal of her empress status, she might not be able to form an army to fight against the regent.
With Feifei's appearance, she obviously knew it long ago, why didn't she say it earlier?
"Someone saw Her Majesty the Queen here, hurry! Search with all your might!"
A voice came not far from the door.
"Your Highness, it's too late."
Feifei anxiously pulled Lilian to the entrance.
Facing the imminent crisis outside, Lilian didn't bother to ask, and walked down the ladder in the entrance to the secret passage several meters deep.
The secret passage was not as dark as she had imagined, and a light was lit every time a certain distance passed.
Although the light was weak, it was enough for her to see a section of the road clearly, and it also had a little psychological comfort.
Lilian glanced at it, then raised her head and said to Feifei who was looking up from above: "Feifei, come down quickly."
"It's too late, Your Majesty, you can go quickly, I will help you as the Empress."
Feifei shook her head and closed the door from above.
Lilian quickly shouted: "Feifei..."
At this moment, she faintly heard the sound of breaking the door from above, as well as a scream, followed by the sound of rummaging through boxes and boxes.
"Feifei, I will never forget you."
Lilian's eyes were flushed, she lifted her skirt, and quickly ran towards the other side of the passage.
After a few minutes, dozens of minutes, or hours, Lilian finally came to the end of the secret passage before she was exhausted.
Looking at the wall, she pressed the switch next to it, which was obviously of a different color from the surrounding ones.
With a soft sound, a half-person-high exit opened next to it.
Outside the exit is a darker passage, but it is much larger than the secret passage, and there is a foul-smelling water flow in the middle.
"sewer."
Lilian covered her nose. She always stayed away from this stench.
But I didn't expect that one day, I would take the initiative to walk in.
Thinking that there might be pursuers at any time, she gritted her teeth and walked out.
"Since this is a sewer, I should be able to find a safe place to go up."
Lilian turned around and closed the exit behind, then walked forward along the side of the sewer.
She didn't know the exact location here, but she chose a direction far away from the imperial palace based on the location she was in when she went down the secret path just now.
Because she was eager to get rid of the stench, she walked several times faster than usual.
"Squeak!"
Suddenly, a small black shadow ran past her feet.
"what!"
Lilian jumped up and screamed.
Looking around in a panic, he found that it was just a dirty mouse, but the mouse that is usually no more than the size of a fist here is more than twice as big here.
Let her both loathe and fear.
After being taken aback, Lilian didn't dare to walk as fast as before.
She tensed her body and walked forward cautiously.
Within a few minutes, she came to a crossroads.
In the dark sewer, she could only vaguely see a few meters around. Faced with three choices, she thought about it, turned and walked to the right.
But just a few steps away, a light appeared at the end.
Judging from the constant movement of the lights, it appears that someone is using the lighting equipment.
"Are you here to catch me?"
Lilian's face changed, and she immediately exited this passage and changed direction.
There was a splash.
Because of her anxiety, she didn't have time to look at the road under her feet, and she fell directly into the fetid water at calf height.
The sound of falling water immediately attracted the lights over there, and they quickly ran towards this side.
Seeing this scene, Lilian ignored the stench and filth, got up, and ran forward with her skirt.
During this process, she also freed one hand to untie the coat on her body, and finally ran away wearing only a cold single coat.
But even so, he couldn't get rid of the tracking of the owner of the light.
Once again, Lillian ran around a corner, looked at the manhole cover overhead, and stopped, panting.
"If this continues, I will definitely be caught up. This is the only way."
She grabbed the rusty ladder, climbed up two times, and reached out to lift the manhole cover.
But this manhole cover seems to have been unused for too long, and it has been delayed for a long time.
Hearing the approaching footsteps and the lights shining around the corner, Lilian pushed the manhole cover with all her strength, her face flushed.
Finally, before the light owner found out, he successfully opened the manhole cover, climbed up, and put the manhole cover back at the last moment.
Immediately, Lilian heard the sound of footsteps gradually going away through the small hole in the manhole cover, and her face gradually relaxed.
Chapter 250 Two Love Story in the Imperial City
When people are in crisis, their infinite potential will always burst out.
But after the crisis, it will also be weaker than ever.
Lilian was not surprised either.
After a tense escape, seeing that the crisis was over, with a relaxed expression, he immediately felt that his whole body was sore and unbearable. Every muscle and every cell in his body seemed to have exhausted its strength.
Not surprisingly, she collapsed powerlessly to the ground.
Fortunately, this is a remote alley, almost no one passes by.
"Ma'am, are you all right?"
At this time, a gentle and polite voice sounded beside him.
Lilian looked back nervously, and found that the person who came did not look like a pursuer, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then took a closer look at the person.
Male, about 20 years old, tall and straight, with a handsome face with youthfulness.
There was a shy smile on the corner of his mouth, he was not affected by the stench on her body, and he looked into her eyes very politely, not looking at the exquisite clothes that were tightly attached to her body because of the wet clothes curve.
The clothes were not distinctive, but judging from their style, they vaguely looked like a small brand. Obviously, the man's family should be pretty good.
Seeing that Lilian didn't respond, the man asked again, "Ma'am?"
"I am fine."
Lilian covered her chest with her hands and lowered her head.
She didn't trust this man who appeared suddenly.
The man didn't mind Lilian's attitude of rejecting people thousands of miles away. He took off his coat and handed it over: "My name is Phyllis. If you don't mind, you can put on this coat first."
Although Lilian wanted to refuse, but the shady weather made her shiver slightly in wet clothes.
She had no choice but to take the coat and put it on her body. Feeling her body warming slightly, she glanced at Felis and said coldly, "Anna."
Based on the principle of equivalent exchange, she reported her name.
Of course, not real names.
"Anna?"
Phyllis was surprised at first, and then turned into joy: "Is this your name?"
Lilian stopped talking, and tried to stand up with her hands on the uneven ground, but just halfway up, she fell down again feebly.
"Ah~"
She raised her right hand with a pain, and the edge of the palm was cut by a sharp stone, and a little blood flowed out.
It was particularly obvious on the palms that were somewhat darkened by the sewage.
Seeing this scene, Phyllis asked nervously, "Anna, do you need my help?"
Lilian shook her head and was about to refuse, when she heard some voices faintly coming from outside the alley, in which there were words such as "queen", "search", and "capture".
"Are the pursuers coming?"
Anxiety flashed in her eyes. The location where the voice came from is not far from here, and I am afraid that it will be found here soon.
But now she is struggling to even get up, let alone escape.
"You, and you, search the front!"
A rough and loud voice came.
Hearing this, Lilian's expression changed.
Phyllis noticed her anomaly, glanced at the deserted intersection outside the alley, turned around and said, "How about... let me help you?"
His face was a little nervous, as if he was afraid of being rejected.
After Lilian was stunned for a moment, seeing Felice's sincere expression and pure eyes, she gritted her teeth and nodded.
