The carriage stopped, and Wang Zhao went to report the situation to the people waiting at the door. He pointed to Ji Bingyan and said, "My elder brother suffered from some wind and cold in Lanzhou, so it is not convenient to talk, so I will take care of it."

The person at the door looked at Ji Bingyan, didn't become suspicious, and called people over to check the carriage, saw Hua Manlou, and asked, "Who is this?"

Wang Zhaodao: "This is the blind doctor I mentioned earlier."

The man stared at Hua Manlou for a while, nodded slightly, turned around to check the carriage, saw that there were only five people inside, and said, "Come in."

Wang Zhao responded, and drove the carriage in. Chu Liuxiang climbed under the carriage and entered the Xiunu Palace smoothly.

After walking a short distance, the carriage stopped.

Wang Zhao shouted: "You all come down."

Li Miao, still wearing a veil, stepped down from the carriage with four other people, saw Hua Manlou standing with Wang Zhao, an old woman came out from a small door, and asked, "Five people?"

The man who brought Wang Zhao in earlier said: "Yes."

The old woman said, "Bring it in, the doctor will bring it in too, and the others can go."

Wang Zhao then said, "The five of you go in with Doctor Hua."

So the five of them entered the room together for some inspections. Hua Manlou was taken to other rooms for inspection and questioning.

The inspection is actually very simple, and it doesn't check whether the woman is a virgin. It seems that the king really doesn't care about this. When the old woman saw Li Miao's appearance, she was obviously taken aback, then smiled and said: "You This girl looks very iconic, if she can get out of this Palace of Showgirls safely, she will definitely become a noble person."

Li Miao pretended to be frightened, and asked tremblingly, "Nurse, why did you go out safely?"

The nun smiled and didn't answer, she summoned a woman under her command, ordered the three of them, and said: "You three go and follow her."

The three women couldn't help looking at Li Miao, and the mother said, "What's the matter?"

Li Miao whispered: "They have a very good relationship with me, can't we live together?"

The nanny smiled and said, "Of course you can't. You are so outstanding, so there is a place for you to go." Then she said to her subordinates, "Take me away."

The three women were taken away.

Hong Juan'er lowered her head, she didn't dare to look at Li Miao, she didn't dare to cause trouble for Li Miao, she was afraid that Li Miao would not save her when the time came.

Mammy called another person and said, "Take it away."

Hong Juan'er left obediently without saying a word.

In the end Li Miao was left, and the nanny asked, "What's your name?"

Li Miao said: "Qi Yun."

The nanny said, "Okay, come with me."

Li Miao followed her, walked through a long winding corridor, and came to a small courtyard. She saw women in twos and threes chatting in the courtyard. When they saw her coming, they all looked over. He was wearing a veil, so he could see a bit of hostility in those gazes.

Although it is said that many women did not come here voluntarily, but since they came here, most of them resigned to their fate. With the hope of climbing higher, they worked hard to learn etiquette, and even secretly eradicated women who were more beautiful than themselves.

That's why the nun said that earlier.

Li Miao was brought to the door of a house, and the man said: "There are two people in the same room. Someone will take you to learn etiquette every day. Don't do unnecessary things. You may live longer. Go in."

Li Miao pushed the door open and went in, only to find that there was already a person inside, and it turned out to be Lan Qiaoqiao who Chu Liuxiang was looking for.

Lan Qiaoqiao was stunned when she saw Li Miao, and immediately jumped up from the bed, saying, "What are you doing here?"

After closing the door, Li Miao asked, "Why are you here?"

Lan Qiaoqiao knew that Li Miao knew martial arts, and it was Li Miao who rescued her in Lanzhou Mansion, so she was very puzzled by Li Miao's appearance here.

Li Miao said, "How did you come here?"

Although Lan Qiaoqiao somewhat regarded Li Miao as her rival in love, but seeing Li Miao now, she suddenly felt hopeful.

She said: "I wanted to visit the country of Kucha, so I found a camel caravan at the post station to take me here. Who knew that person had put sweat medicine in my food, and he appeared here after I woke up. There are people in this place. The martial arts of the guards are very strong, I have no way to go out, and I can't contact the outside world."

She was born in a well-known Jianghu family, and she has never experienced such grievances and frights. Now Li Miao is her only savior, but thinking about all the things before, she looked at Li Miao with some embarrassment, and she still couldn't say the words for help. .

Li Miao said: "How is it here? Can't go out at all?"

Lan Qiaoqiao said: "The defense here is relatively tight, and there are a few guards with good martial arts."

It is no problem for Li Miao to go out by herself, she is not worried about this.

Li Miao: "When will we enter the palace?"

Lan Qiaoqiao said: "I heard that we will enter the palace tomorrow, but new girls always have to learn etiquette, so you may not be sent in so soon. By the way, why are you here?"

Li Miao said, "I'm here to find something." She didn't shy away from it, because now she didn't have any clues except that Lan Qiaoqiao was the key person, so she could only disclose the information to Lan Qiaoqiao.

Lan Qiaoqiao was puzzled, "What are you looking for?"

Seeing that she was really confused, Li Miao whispered, "A jewel."

Lan Qiaoqiao was still confused, seeing Li Miao on the other bed, planning to change into Xiunv's ordinary clothes, she couldn't help but said, "Sister, can you take me out?"

She knew that Li Miao was good at martial arts, and this was the only way for her to get out of here.

After Li Miao changed her clothes, she said with a smile, "You don't have to worry about this, Chu Liuxiang is here."

Lan Qiaoqiao immediately stood up, surprised and said: "Really?"

She was really happy and couldn't help crying, she hoped that Li Miao could save her, but she was still uneasy, but if Chu Liuxiang came, she would be relieved, Chu Liuxiang must have come to save her.

Li Miao said: "It's absolutely true. But Chu Liuxiang was brought by me, so you have to do me a favor."

Lan Qiaoqiao said: "Of course there's no problem." Then she added, "I'm sorry about what happened before."

What she was talking about was Huamanlou, and she was still very embarrassed and ashamed when she said it now.

Li Miao was naturally concerned, but he only said, "It's okay."

Lan Qiaoqiao said: "What can I help you with?"

Li Miao said: "I want to know about a gem called the Star of Bliss, and I want to get it."

Lan Qiaoqiao didn't answer immediately, she frowned, and said with a look of reminiscence, "The Star of Bliss, I seem to have heard of it somewhere."

When Li Miao heard it, there was indeed something going on, and said, "Think about it carefully."

Lan Qiaoqiao sat on the bed and thought.

Li Miao was also thinking about where Chu Liuxiang was now, how he would contact her, and if he saw Lan Qiaoqiao, would he take Lan Qiaoqiao and leave?

In fact, the last question is certain, there is no need for Chu Liuxiang to help her, and it is impossible for her to coerce him by saying that she helped Chu Liuxiang.

After a while, someone shouted: "Please put out the candles!"

Lan Qiaoqiao extinguished the candle, and said to Li Miao in a low voice: "Here, the hours are all arranged every day. What time do you have to do things? Tomorrow, we have to go to the shared room for dinner and learn to eat. Etiquette. I heard we will be sent away early next month."

Li Miao asked, "Why did the nanny say that we should pay attention to safety here?"

Lan Qiaoqiao sneered and said: "These women have started fighting here, especially in Qixia Palace, which is our courtyard. According to their lingo, the women living here are high-class goods, and now they suddenly have To compete for the position of princess, I naturally tried my best to reduce my competitors. In the past few days I have been here, I have seen several people being carried out. No one cares here, whether they are killed or disfigured, No one cares."

This was beyond Li Miao's expectations, but these were not important.

"So, do you remember the Star of Bliss?"

"Ah, that's right!" Lan Qiaoqiao said, "I remembered, the person who brought me here seems to have mentioned the Star of Bliss, and he is also looking for the Star of Bliss, which is a very beautiful diamond."

Li Miao said: "So no one knows where the Bliss Star is?"

Lan Qiaoqiao said: "No, I remember a person named Wu Juxuan in our group, he seemed to have talked about the Star of Bliss with the boss of the camel team, but at that time I didn't know what the Star of Bliss was, so Didn't care."

Li Miao said: "I see, let's rest first, maybe we will see Chu Liuxiang at night."

She was right, Chu Liuxiang really came in the middle of the night.

Not only Chu Liuxiang came, but Hua Manlou also came.

When they came, neither Lan Qiaoqiao nor Li Miao was asleep, there was a light knock on the window, Li Miao and Lan Qiaoqiao got up and opened the door for Chu Liuxiang.

Lan Qiaoqiao didn't expect Hua Manlou to come back and was obviously stunned. Chu Liuxiang didn't expect Lan Qiaoqiao to be here and was also stunned.

Li Miao bypassed the two stupefied people, closed the door, stood with Huamanlou, and asked how Huamanlou was doing in a low voice, just to spare some time for Chu Liuxiang and Lan Qiaoqiao.

Chu Liuxiang didn't expect Lan Qiaoqiao to be there, he only knew that Li Miao had entered the house, so he observed secretly, planning to sneak in in the middle of the night, and then discuss how to find Lan Qiaoqiao, but he didn't expect that it would take no effort at all.

Lan Qiaoqiao has been panicking a lot these days. She was originally the daughter of the Lan family, and she was pampered since she was a child.But this desert is remote, and there are no relatives, there is no way to ask for help, she just realized now that not everyone will be spoiled by her, so now seeing Chu Liuxiang, she threw herself into the arms of the man .

Chu Liuxiang comforted her for a long time before talking about serious business under Li Miao's playful gaze.

The room is not big, so the four of them sat on the bed in twos. Lan Qiaoqiao was embarrassed to look at Huamanlou, and kept her head down.

Chu Liuxiang said first: "I just did a search and found that there are about 80 to [-] people in this palace of beautiful women. Even if they can only enter the palace after several rounds of screening, the number of people is quite considerable."

Lan Qiaoqiao said: "That's not the case. After several rounds of screening, people will continue to come in, so the total number of people is far greater than this."

Chu Liuxiang was very puzzled, "Does such a small country need such a large-scale draft?"

Li Miao said: "But now you have found Qiaoqiao, take her away, and your mission will be completed."

Chu Liuxiang said: "Although that's the case, I will save the four girls I promised to save today."

Li Miao said, "What about the others?"

In fact, she didn't want Chu Liuxiang to save everyone, but she saw Chu Liuxiang's hesitation, so she pointed out the crux of his heart.

Chu Liuxiang sighed, and said, "If you ask like that, I really don't know what to do."

Li Miao said: "I just wanted to explain to you when I saw you were worried. You see there are more than 70 people here, and not all of them want to leave. Who are you going to save?"

Chu Liuxiang said: "You are right."

"Besides, Miss Lan will be sent to the palace tomorrow. If you want to take her away, you have to act tonight."

Chu Liuxiang was taken aback, and said, "Go to the palace tomorrow?"

Lan Qiaoqiao said: "Yes."

Chu Liuxiang stopped talking, he had to think of a way.If he took Lan Qiaoqiao away tonight, it wouldn't be too difficult.He has already made an agreement with Ji Bingyan, and Ji Bingyan will meet him outside the door.Although he doesn't know where Ji Bingyan is yet, he knows that as long as he takes action, Ji Bingyan will definitely appear to help him.

Hua Manlou said: "You can take Miss Lan away tonight, otherwise it may be even more troublesome to enter the palace."

Chu Liuxiang said: "You are right."

Lan Qiaoqiao really wanted to leave, but remembered that she had promised to help Li Miao, so she said, "What about my sister?"

Li Miao said: "You worry about what I do, I can always go out."

Hua Manlou said: "No problem, I will be by her side."

Lan Qiaoqiao: "..."

Well, anyway, she doesn't need to stand in front of them.

Then she said to Chu Liuxiang, "Can we stay in Kucha first? Maybe we can help my sister."

Li Miao did not tell Chu Liuxiang the purpose of her visit. Although Chu Liuxiang felt a little weird in her heart, she still said: "I came to find Qiaoqiao. It was Madam who helped me. If Madam needs Chu, Chu will definitely help me." Will not refuse."

Li Miao said: "I just want to find a gem called the Star of Bliss. If I find it, I will leave. Now Qiaoqiao has some clues here." She looked at Lan Qiaoqiao and asked, "Do you know the person named Wu Juxuan?" where are you now?"

Lan Qiaoqiao said: "That person seems to be recruiting people for the camel team. I heard that he has some relationship with the people in the palace, but I don't know more specifically."

"Wu Juxuan? I know this person!" Chu Liuxiang suddenly said, "He is Ji Bingyan's friend, we had a drink together."
