There is not much time left for Lu You to lament, the most urgent thing is to save his life.

While thinking about it, his feet had already stepped on the ground, and Hu Ji also let go of the arms around his neck.

Lu You couldn't wait to withdraw his numb arm, rubbed it lightly for a few times, and finally he felt a little bit slowly.But it was so sore and limp that it seemed to have collapsed into a ball of tofu.

"What are you waiting for, let's go!"

Li Hongqu had also smoothly slid behind him, and at the same time as he landed, he immediately cut off the hemp rope with a knife.

At this time, the heavy wooden door of the roof was also knocked open, and the frantic red light of the torch was like a lighthouse, illuminating the surrounding land in an instant.

Lu You didn't dare to hesitate anymore, immediately helped Hu Ji up, and followed Li Honghe to take a shortcut and ran to Moon Shadow Terrace.The four of them hid in the small courtyard where Lao Shanggong usually lived, and covered the door, and only managed to breathe out a long breath.

"The most troublesome thing is done. It's not a troublesome thing to go out of the palace next."

Li Honghe stood by the door and listened quietly for a while, making sure that there was no sound of pursuers, and then asked Lao Shanggong to take Hu Ji to change into her prison uniform; then she grabbed a cloth towel and threw it on Lu You's head.

"What are you still doing here in a daze? You take off your military uniform first, and change your mask. Now that things are getting serious, sooner or later someone will search everywhere. You should go back to the jackdaw and pretend to sleep, don't be caught by that beast Yang Ren." Arrested."

When she said this, Lu You's heart, which had been so hard to let go, suddenly hung in the air again.He hurriedly climbed over the walls and crossed the alleys, and chose a secluded path to hide in the small courtyard where Jackdaw fell.

As soon as he got home, he immediately locked the door, took off his night clothes and stuffed it into the hearth in the anteroom to light it, and sat by the fire to wipe and dry his wet long hair.

Just when the hair was almost dry, there were finally noisy footsteps outside the courtyard gate.

Not only Lu You, but the entire Ministry of Internal Affairs was awakened.

Every corner of every eunuch's residence in Jackdaw's Fall was searched strictly.Those young and healthy eunuchs were uniformly called to the Chonghua Hall of the Changqiu Prison, and they set up torches to be identified one by one by the prison guards who had been knocked unconscious by Li Hongzhi earlier.

Lu You was standing in the corner of the last row. He heard footsteps coming towards him little by little, and lowered his eyes pretending to be respectful.

"look up."

It was the voice of Yang Ren, Prison Prisoner, who rang coldly.

Lu You did as he said, and made eye contact with the soldier who recognized him.

The other party squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully for a while, then shook his head decisively: "No."

But Yang Ren didn't give up, he reached into Lu You's hair again, obviously testing the humidity of the hair.

The benefits of warming and wiping finally came to the fore. Yang Ren fumbled twice, but quickly withdrew his hand.

Soon, all the eunuchs present were checked carefully, and four or five "suspicious people" were actually found.

Seeing that the matter was about to end, who knew that another soldier came running outside.I saw Yang Ren nodded while listening to the report, and suddenly issued a new order.

"Everyone, take off all your clothes."

This is to check the wounds on the body! "Lu You's heart skipped a beat.

The matter was urgent, he had been busy drying his rain-drenched hair just now, and he had no time to pay attention to the wounds on his body.Now the blood doesn't flow anymore, but the slender knife mark is clearly there, and everything can be understood just by looking at it.

So, what excuse is there to avoid strip inspections?

Even though his mind was spinning, Lu You really couldn't think of any good solution for a while.

Seeing the eunuchs taking off their robes one by one, he had no choice but to put on a face.

"Lu You!"

When he unbuttoned the second button of his robe, a voice suddenly came from outside Chonghua Hall.

"His Royal Highness King Xuan is asking why you haven't passed yet."

It was actually Chang Yunu.

This gentle servant who is like a Confucian scholar is like a god on the cliff at this moment.

Lu You was not the only one who was surprised, even Yang Ren turned his head sideways, frowning and looking at the eunuch who was above him.

After all, he was a prominent figure in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and Chang Yunu looked at him calmly.

"Master Prisoner, just now I passed by the Huiqing Hall on night duty, and heard that King Xuan needed this child to serve him. So I stopped by and took him there."

Just as he was saying this, Lu You had already arrived at his side in two or three steps, and the two of them were about to turn around and leave.

"Stay."

Yang Ren suddenly stopped him.

What does he want to do? !Lu You was suddenly tense in his heart.

I saw Yang Ren walking straight towards them, but without even looking at Lu You, he lowered his voice and said to Chang Yunu: "Come to me later."

Chang Yunu was not surprised either, he just nodded slightly, turned around and led Lu You out of Chonghua Hall.

Outside the house, the autumn rain was still falling heavily, and the two of them walked eastward along the corridor of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and did not stop until they reached the Zilan Pavilion.

"You can go back."

Chang Yunu turned around and looked at him: "You shouldn't be so stupid as to really think that King Xuan is looking for you."

"I understand." Lu You nodded: "Thank you Lord Chang for saving me, and Lu You will leave now."

Chang Yunu is the only person in the Ministry of Internal Affairs who knows Lu You's identity and secrets except Qi Yunchu.So these actions of his are certainly not just a whim.

However, you know what you know, and there are some things that don't need to be clarified.

After bidding farewell to Chang Yunu, Lu You chose a secluded road to return to his residence.In the second half of the night, although there were still some unsteady sounds outside from time to time, no one came to disturb him again.

With the help of a dim oil lamp, Lu You began to bandage the wounds on his body little by little, while thinking about various situations that might happen tomorrow.

Is it to offer a reward for arrest with great fanfare, or to turn to a secret investigation?

Either way, there may be endless troubles that follow.

But then again, when and where will there be no trouble in this nine-fold deep palace?

The pattering autumn rain fell all night.However, the next morning was clear and clear in autumn, which was a rare fine weather.

As for the turmoil among the crowd, it is far from subsided.

There are whispers in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, everyone is guessing what happened to the special search station last night; and those eunuchs who were taken away, what mistakes did they make...

The wind spread like wildfire, and began to waft around in the palace.When Lu You pretended to be Zhao Yang and went to study in the Hongwen Library, even the princes of the aristocratic families in the academy began to talk about it with great interest.

Of course, there were also people who tried to ask "King Xuan" for information, but Lu You didn't care to answer him because he found that he had started to have a fever.

It was raining last night, and he was extremely lack of sleep. Early this morning, he felt the burning wound swollen and painful.I took a look at the cloth and found that the wound was red and swollen, which seemed to be a sign of ulceration.

In the hut where he lives, there are only some medicinal cloths for daily wounds.Better wound medicine has to be reported to Xi Guanju, and this is undoubtedly a self-inflicted trap.

The only solution for now is to endure silently, and then go to Li Hongzhi for some medicine after dark.

Under such torment, Lu You naturally didn't have the time to listen to the class seriously, nor did he have time to pay attention to the actions of the people around him.

On the contrary, there is a pair of eyes that are watching him all the time.

At two o'clock, the first recess ended.Among the students who filed back into the hall, one person was missing.

In view of the fact that most of the relatives of these students worked in the left and right provinces or the imperial city, even if they left the meeting halfway, they probably went to those places, and the doctor who taught them didn't ask much.

In a blink of an eye, the second class was coming to an end, Lu You's head was already dizzy from the heat, and he just wanted to take a nap at the table.

But before his forehead was attached to the desk, someone grabbed his arm and dragged him outside.

Lu You was startled, and hastily rounded his eyes to look back, but only saw the back of his head.

But he still recognized it, it was Tang Ruilang!

The students around them cast inquiring gazes because of their strange movements.In order to avoid making things worse, Lu You had no choice but to get up and follow Tang Ruilang out.

When the two of them reached the corridor, Tang Ruilang still didn't stop, and he pulled Lu You into the depths of the bamboo forest in the courtyard.

"what are you doing?!"

Looking around where there was no one around, Lu You finally couldn't help but shake off Tang Ruilang's hand, and took a step back at the same time, looking at him warily.

"Shut up and follow me!"

For the first time ever, Tang Ruilang glared at Lu You viciously, and then, involuntarily, stretched out his hand again to grab Lu You tightly.

Undisputable strength, brutality, and an indistinct resentment.

Lu You had never seen Tang Ruilang like this before, he was almost frightened, he even forgot to resist, and obediently let Tang Ruilang lead him to move on.

The two of them walked into the back door of the history museum one by one without saying a word.A plum grove is planted here, hiding a hut for storing sundries, secluded and uninhabited.

Tang Ruilang kicked the door open, then swung Lu You through the door with a vigorous swing of his arm.

The body hit the hard wall, and the wound under the robe was squeezed, exuding unbearable pain.Lu You's eyes were staring with pain, and his eyes turned black one after another.

With great difficulty, he supported the wall to stabilize his body, when suddenly a faint bell sounded in his ear.

"It's about to start..."

He turned his head and wanted to go out: "Let go of me, I have to go back!"

"You can't go anywhere!"

Tang Ruilang's anger was rolling in his throat, as if he was about to vent his anger.

Lu You was worried that if the quarrel continued, others would be attracted, so he could only temporarily calm down his thoughts of going back.

Tang Ruilang threw Lu You into the room, entered the room himself, and then slammed the door shut.Suddenly, the light dimmed, leaving only a small window with a little light.

With this light, Lu You saw Tang Ruilang picked up a porcelain bottle from the corner, bit off the red silk stopper roughly, and grabbed his chin with one hand.

Lu You could only smell a stench of herbs, and instinctively wanted to resist.

Tang Ruilang moved around a few times but couldn't do it, he gave a heavy "tsk", and simply took a big gulp, then pinched Lu You's mouth and went right up.

Lu You, who was resisting in his heart, was completely unprepared, the smelly and bitter medicinal juice kept pouring into his mouth, he opened his mouth to shout, but instead he coughed violently.

But this time, Tang Ruilang didn't give him a chance to breathe again, and kept pouring the concoction one gulp at a time.

Until the porcelain bottle was empty, Lu You also fell into a state of confusion and powerlessness due to dizziness, fatigue and suffocation, and leaned softly in Tang Ruilang's arms.
