Prisoner of the Eastern Palace

Fire.

Luo Ange remembered that there was a small wooden two-story building not far from the dungeon. It is said that it was originally a resting place for sentinel guards. Later, a new resting place was built, and the small building was abandoned. The guards, too, were not locked.

The sky was dry, and the wind was blowing and the fire was blowing. Luo Ange vaguely knew what to do.

Now there is only one thing missing, and Luo Ange thinks it is not difficult to get it.

He needs a torch.

Luo Ange cast her eyes on the little palace maid in front of her. She was busy tidying up the lampshade in the room, so she didn't notice Luo Shaoqing's unusual gaze.

Luo Ange remembered that this little maid was the lantern maid of the outer courtyard, and she was responsible for lighting the small piece of lamps, so it's no wonder she cared so much about the lights.But more importantly, she most likely has what Luo Ange wanted.

So Luo Ange asked her to come over, the little maid thought he had some orders, and hurriedly approached, before she could speak, Luo Ange grabbed her arm and pulled her forward.

No matter how thin Luo Ange was, he was still a man, and the little maid was completely unguarded, and fell on Luo Ange with a cry of surprise.

Luo Ange took this opportunity to find the fire pocket in the pocket of the little maid's coat, quickly pulled it out, and stuffed it under the quilt without a sound.

The little palace maid was so frightened that her face paled, she hurriedly pushed Luo Ange away, knelt down on the ground with a plop, and kowtowed in panic, "Shaoqing, please spare me! Don't do this, if His Highness finds out, this servant will die!"

Several guards guarding outside heard the commotion inside, and rushed in too.Luo Ange pushed the Huoziezi in, coughed lightly, "I'm sorry, I was teasing you, I was the one to be rude."

After finishing speaking, he looked at the guards again, "It's all right, it's a misunderstanding, you all go down."

The guards looked at each other in blank dismay, but seeing that there was nothing wrong with the situation, they all bowed respectfully and stepped back.

Luo Ange watched the panicked figure of the little maid disappear at the door, and then heaved a sigh of relief, took out the fire folder and looked at it carefully.

Maybe the little maid will soon find out that she has lost a fire bag, but she won't care much.She might think that she accidentally dropped it on the road, or she knew that she might have landed in Shaoqing's room, but she would not have the guts to come back and look for it.

A fire note is not important to the little maid, but to Luo Ange, it may be the last straw.

……

In the early morning of the next day, Luo Ange had something on his mind, so he opened his eyes early, got up, washed up briefly, put on his clothes and went out.

No one stopped him from going out of the courtyard, but there were two maids and two guards following behind, not far or near, I don't know if they came to serve him or watch him.

But Luo Ange didn't see Mu Ke, so he asked the little maids, and they also shook their heads to express their ignorance.

Luo Ange thought that maybe Mu Ke didn't want to see him now, and it happened that he didn't want to see Mu Ke either.He touched the skirt of his clothes, where the fire pocket he stole last night was hidden.

In the morning, when it is fresh and bright, house sparrows are jumping on the eaves, unaware of the sufferings in the world.Luo Ange took a deep breath, and walked slowly towards the dungeon.

Sure enough, the maids and guards behind him all followed.

Luo Ange tried to tell them that he wanted to walk alone, but the guard just replied indifferently that this was the prince's order.

Then there is nothing to understand, these four people made it clear that Mu Ke sent them to watch him.

But it doesn't matter, when Luo Ange made the plan last night, he had already taken this situation into account.

Luo Ange was more afraid of being grounded by Mu Ke than being stared at.From this point of view, this situation is not bad, as expected.

Thinking of this, Luo Ange's complexion improved, and he walked towards the dungeon.

The air in the morning was still a bit cold, Luo Ange wrapped his dark red cloak tightly around his body, and quickened his pace to move forward.

There was a change on the road, Luo Ange was walking along the palace road, suddenly a group of people came in front of him, several strong men were carrying a walking chariot, and a person was sitting on it.

When Luo Ange saw the man, his face turned pale instantly.

The fourth prince, Mu Yuan, was sitting leisurely on the chariot, but when he saw Luo Ange from the corner of his eye, his expression changed suddenly, and he almost jumped off directly.

"Stop, stop!" Mu Yuan repeatedly ordered, and the bearers hurriedly walked carefully and reassuredly.

Mu Yuan rushed to Luo Ange angrily, worried about the guards and maids behind him, so he lowered his voice, approached and gritted his teeth and asked, "Why are you still here?!"

He came to the East Palace today because of His Majesty's permission to learn from his elder brother to be a director. He just wanted to see if Luo Ange kept his promise and left. Unexpectedly, he ran into him on the palace road before he reached the main hall. .How can this not be annoying?

Luo Ange sneered, his eyes like knives, "I want to ask you, how did Mu Ke know about it? If you hadn't informed me, how could this plan have been exposed?"

Mu Yuan was stunned, took a step back involuntarily, and quickly explained: "I didn't say it, wait, Brother Huang already knows?"

Luo Ange didn't want to waste time with him, and walked around him, "I still have something to do, I don't have time to hang around with you here."

Mu Yuan wanted to ask more details, but he also knew that the people behind Luo Ange were subordinates of the prince, so he kept his mouth shut and didn't dare to say more.

He was also really afraid that his elder brother would alienate him and hate him if he found out that he didn't report it, so he could only watch Luo Ange go away.

Shan and Sanxi thought about it, and felt that something was wrong. Luo Ange's plan to escape was revealed, and now they are still intact?There are almost no injuries on the body, not even a slap mark on the face?

When did his brother's temperament become so good?

Luo Ange didn't expect to meet the fourth prince here, but now he has no time to care about Mu Yuan, so he quickened his pace and walked towards the dungeon.

After a while, I saw the gloomy entrance of the dungeon. Luo Ange walked through there without looking sideways, and arrived at the door of the two-story building within a few steps.

This small building has been abandoned for a long time, and no one has cleaned it. There is dust in front of the door, and moss grows on the stone steps.

Luo Ange frowned and stood in front of the steps for a while, then turned back and told the maid guard behind him, "I want to go in and find something, you guys wait here for a while."

One of the guards said respectfully: "What is Shaoqing looking for, please help me find it."

Luo Ange's eyes turned cold, "I said, wait outside."

At any rate, he was once the king of a country, so he still has some deterrent power. At this time, the cold eyes intimidated the four of them, and the guard in the lead thought that there was only one door in this small building, so it would be okay to guard it here. No problem, he nodded in agreement.

Luo Ange stretched out his hand and pushed the door open, and the dust raised made him cough a few times.

Luo Ange didn't dare to delay, he closed the door with his backhand, leaned against the doorframe and listened to the movement outside for a while, and after making sure that those people would not follow in, he rolled up his sleeves and started working.

He piled all the easy-to-burn things in the house in the center of the house, the cotton door curtains, and the gauze bed curtains, all placed on the wooden floor.

Luo Ange was also very lucky to find a jar of lamp oil of unknown age, and poured all of it on the ground and pillars.

After tidying up all this, Luo Ange took a deep breath, took out a torch from his pocket, lit it and threw it on the bed curtain soaked in lamp oil.

With the help of lamp oil, the fire ignited instantly, Luo Ange took a few steps back, and turned out from the small window.

Luo Ange landed steadily on the grass, using the bushes to hide his figure, and slowly groped towards the dungeon.

But in the blink of an eye, the thick black smoke had already floated out along the crack of the door.

The person guarding the door realized that something was wrong and hurried up to open the door, only to find that the door was locked from the inside.

After half a cup of tea, the bright yellow tongue of fire had already reached the second floor, and the little palace maid let out a terrified scream: "Come here! It's flooded! Put out the fire! Shaoqing is still inside!"

The two guards knocked open the door with their shoulders. The fire inside was ignited by the wind and burned even more violently. The heat wave hit the face, burning the hair of the person in an instant, and the inside was filled with black smoke, making it impossible to enter.

Luo Ange hid in the grass and observed the situation here, and secretly rejoiced that he found the old can of lamp oil. If the lamp oil had not been spilled, the fire would not have burned so fast and so big.

Since I am an important "hostage" of the prince, these few people dare not let him have an accident. Bi Ran will try to find someone to put out the fire, but the dungeon is sparsely populated and there are almost no guards on duty, so the only person who can put out the fire is the dungeon guard jailer.

Sure enough, as he expected, the two maids yelled loudly for a while, and then several people rushed over from there. Luo Ange took a closer look, and they were indeed the jailers of the dungeon.

The dungeon has set up a fire tank all the year round. It is actually a huge water tank with wooden wheels and shafts repaired underneath.

Luo Ange saw a group of people pushing the mortise tank, thinking that with so much water, the fire might not last long, so he sneaked into the dungeon while everyone was in a hurry.

There was no one in the dungeon, all the guards went to put out the fire, Luo Ange went down the stone ladder, and saw Mei Luzhi locked in the prison at a glance, his nose was sour and his eyes were red.

Mei Luzhi heard the movement, and hurried to the prison door, and was shocked when he saw Luo Ange, "Xiaozheng?! Why are you here?!"

Luo Ange raised his hand to wipe away his tears, turned around and went to the wall to find the key, and opened the cell door, "I'll save you, you..."

Looking at Mei Luzhi's injuries, Luo Ange was silent for a while, "You, how is your body? Can you move?"

"It's okay, it's all flesh and blood wounds." Mei Luzhi came out of the prison, looking at Luo Ange hesitantly, "What's going on? Why is it so noisy outside?"

"It's okay, I lit a fire and led them all over." Luo Ange smiled reluctantly, and took Mei Luzhi's hand, "Hurry up, you turn out from the palace wall, the official road is outside ...The wall is a bit high, but there are many big trees, and you are good at it, and you will definitely be able to climb over it."

Mei Luzhi followed him out, hesitantly said: "Then what should you do? Shall I ask you to go up first, or go up and then drag you?"

Luo Ange was silent for a moment, and forced a smile, "Lu Zhi, you know how much I weigh... I can't climb up."
