Domineering

The sudden disappearance of the cabinet lord was unexpected by Bai Jasmine, and the plan could never keep up with the changes. Before she could meet Zhong Li, things changed.

When she regained consciousness, Ji Yanlan was still waiting for her, and Bai Jasmine asked tentatively, "Now?"

"En." Ji Changlan nodded, pushed the door and left.

The four knives reappeared, holding the same cloth bag, the sack was strong, and the mouth of the bag was big enough to hold a person's head.

"Looks like a trip to a distant place..." Bai Moli pretended to be calm, and cupped her hands and said, "Four, let me tell the Princess...Ah!"

Those four people didn't listen at all, and covered their heads.

Being held up, Bai Jasmine walked out of the door of the Yuefu library.Turn left, it is 120 five steps.Turn left, it is 35 steps.Turning left seven steps, he staggered, he should have passed through a door... Suddenly, his feet were empty, his body was weightless, Bai Jasmine couldn't stand still, she stepped on a few more feet.

The tiles under her feet are loose, Bai Jasmine guesses that the house is not high.

Just as he was discerning something, a strong force struck from behind and pushed Bai Jasmine down.

"Hey! Four heroes, I don't want to die yet!" Bai Jasmine lay on the ground, moaning and tapping the ground beneath her.

It seems to be very hard wood.Is this a car?Or was it thrown into a coffin?Where are they taking themselves?

"Crack!" With a whip, Bai Jasmine's body trembled.

It wasn't that she moved, but the wood beneath her body suddenly moved, and the sound of horseshoes sounded slowly. Bai Moli persuaded herself to calm down: If Ji Yanlan wanted to get rid of her, she wouldn't do anything unnecessary.

Do you want to escape?Bai Jasmine was a little undecided.

The carriage drove slowly, with bumps along the way. Bai Jasmine counted her name, and after counting to the 2000th two hundred times, she finally couldn't help but want to vomit.

"Where are we...?"

Su didn't respond to Bai Jasmine's question, and the carriage reversed to a stop.Bai Jasmine was dragged out by four people and thrown into another carriage.

Bai Jasmine was worried: This journey is too long. Could it be that you are going out of the city?

The carriage circled half of Xuanyuan City, and finally stopped at a place less than half a mile away from Xiaoqing Tower.This is Ji Yanlan's private house, not too big, the trees outside the house are withered, the house is dusty, few people come.

The four swordsmen carried Bai Jasmine to the innermost room, pushed open the bed board, and pushed Bai Jasmine in without saying hello.

"Ah—" With a scream, Bai Jasmine couldn't take it anymore!

The old wounds along the way were not healed, and new wounds were added, the wooden crutches were confiscated by Ji Yanlan, and Su ignored herself... The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, Bai Moli directly pulled off the rag bag, just wanting to yell at her.

The surroundings were dim, and the air was filled with the dust that she fell down just now. Looking closely, even Bai Jasmine was frightened—the table in front of her was covered with instruments of torture, which seemed to be a prison cell.Taking a closer look, the instruments of torture were clean, not as if they had been used.

"Hey! What is this..." Bai Moli raised her head, but the door above her head was closed, causing her to eat a mouthful of dirt, "Bah! Bah, bah, bah! Where is it!"

Go inside, pass through these bluffing instruments of torture, and there is a secret door.Bai Jasmine pushed open the door, and found that behind the door was a long passage, stretching as far as the eye could see.strangeness?Could these instruments of torture be used to deceive people, and the real place where Zhong Li was detained was behind the door?Bai Jasmine was confused, and the hand that pushed the door began to hesitate.

"The secret paths of Baili Pavilion are all over Xuanyuan City."

"Su!"

Su finally appeared, and she told Bai Moli: "This is the main road of Baili Pavilion, and one can connect to the other three." Seeing Bai Moli's resentment, Su said innocently, "I fell asleep just now."

"What's the meaning of this, Young Master Ji? Why did she lock the cabinet lord here?"

"There are three secret doors here, and only two are safe. I can't guess where Zhong Li is locked up, so you have to go and try."

"Wait!" Bai Jasmine was still puzzled, "You just said that there are only two safe places here?"

"There is a door that never returns."

"What about the other two doors?"

"Maybe the person you want to see is locked up, or it may be empty, maybe it's locked separately." Su kindly mentioned a person, "For example, Bai Rongrong."

At the other end of the passage, in one of the dark rooms, the sunlight shines through the small windows, casting bright light on the ground.

Ji Yanlan said: "Sister Li, please keep the Yin matter a secret."

Zhong Li sat in front of the window, holding the bamboo slips in his hand, and read them intently, ignoring them.

Ji Yanlan said again: "Sister Li, I will send someone to take care of you in a while, if you need anything, just tell her."

Zhong Li didn't lift his head, and gave the order to chase away the guests: "Master Hou, please go back."

"Miss Carp."

"Qinglan, go back, you can't win."

"It's not too late to make a decision after the cabinet minister sees her." Before leaving, Ji Yanlan bowed solemnly to Zhong Li, "The Marquis has something else to do."

Bai Moli managed to push open the heavy stone door, walked in in a daze, and bumped into Ji Yanlan head-on.She greeted her with a smile: "Young Master, Bai Jasmine is late, please make amends."

"Not too late."

Ji Yanlan hugged Bai Jasmine, smiling more proudly than anyone else, and only heard a "click", and something grabbed Bai Jasmine's wrist.

"Huh?" Bai Jasmine raised her hand and saw that there was a three-foot-wide, extremely heavy bracelet made of black iron on her wrist, "What is this?"

The "bracelets" fit together seamlessly, with small loops on each side for chains.The chain is white, extremely long, and extremely thin. Although it is light, it is extremely tough.

"It's made of silk." Ji Yanlan lowered her eyes and picked up the chain with her fingertips. "It's been refined for a long time, and it's not satisfactory. It's more delicate than bronze."

"Master Hou, can Bai Jasmine go back? Princess..."

Ji Yanlan kissed the tender lips of the person in her arms, like a dragonfly touching water, and said softly, "You take good care of your lord here, and when the time comes, I will come to pick you up."

Ji Yanlan's arm pulled away from Bai Jasmine's waist, Bai Jasmine was a little reluctant, she turned around and grabbed Ji Yanlan's sleeve, with a coquettish expression on her face: "Master Hou..."

With a flick of her sleeves, Ji Yanlan shook off Bai Jasmine, making up her mind to go.Bai Jasmine limped after her, and when she reached the door, she stopped in astonishment—the length of the chain was just right, so she could only catch up to this point.

After patting her face and recovering a little bit of energy, Bai Jasmine turned around and walked in.The chain was long enough to walk in front of Zhong Li.

"My lord, I'm here to protect you."

Bai Jasmine grabbed the chain with her backhand, and tugged until she was one foot away from the iron railing in front of Zhong Li, and could no longer approach it.Bai Jasmine stretched out her other arm, this time it was long enough, and her hand reached into the gap in the iron bars.Zhong Li opened Bai Jasmine's hand with a bamboo slip in his hand. Bai Jasmine retracted her hand in pain, feeling wronged: "My lord, my name is Bai Bai Jasmine. I'm here..."

"You do have a certain resemblance." Zhong Li turned around indifferently, dismissively, "Even if Ji Yin taught you how to pick stars, so what. Your Majesty's attitude is not clear enough?"

Bai Jasmine touched her leg, and secretly sighed.

Zhong Li sat back on the bed, waved his sleeves, and his attitude was very clear.

"I'm here to protect you."

"unnecessary."

"You need it. No one here can protect you except me. Yes, my legs are crippled, but this is to save my life. You have come to see me, haven't you? You know my value."

"What do you want to say?"

"I'm sorry, I'm a little nervous when I see you for the first time." Bai Jasmine looked around, pulled a straw mat, and sat on the floor in front of Zhong Li, "The reason why I appear here is because I want to see you."

It's a long story, and plans can't keep up with changes.

"I haven't gone anywhere, I've been waiting in Yuefu, but neither you nor Your Majesty have come. I know that you have a lot of government affairs and don't have time to meet a small person like me, but I can't, I don't have much time. I can go now Let me tell you, Ji Yanlan has been plotting a rebellion for some time, and kidnapping you is just the beginning, when people in the palace panic, she will make bigger moves."

"Ji Yanlan locked me here with you, not to take care of you at all. If I can't change your position before the big event happens, she will order me to kill you. I don't want to kill you, and I don't want to change your position." stand, I’m here to protect you, and I can even take you away.”

Zhong Li sneered: "Forget it, don't bother me."

"It doesn't matter if you don't trust me. Zhong Li, I just trust you. I know you are an upright person and you are Xuanyuan's hope. I will protect you, I swear."

"Tell me, how are you going to protect me?" Zhong Li turned his head and looked at Bai Jasmine's face, "Apart from this face, what skills do you have?"

"My lord, you are not a person who judges people by their appearance."

"I hate you."

"Hate me? Or Su Rong?"

"Don't mention her name! You are not qualified!" Zhong Li got up angrily, "And she is already dead!"

"Zhong Li, calm down! Listen to me!" Facing Zhong Li's gaffe, Bai Jasmine stood up quickly, lowered her voice, and told herself truthfully: "My original name is Mo Li, and I am ranked No.18 in Qing Ming Pavilion. See you For me, when we were in Su Mansion, we played in the water together, until later you found out that I was a fake Pavilion Master."

"You..." Zhong Li was shocked, "No wonder you look so similar! It's you! Are you the first?"

"Yes, I used to be the first and only stand-in for the pavilion master, but because you saw the flaws, I have been hiding until now. I don't mean to blame you at all when I say this. In fact, the reason why the pavilion master left me in Xuanyuan is Now, Zhong Li, I know the secret of the pavilion master, and you also know the secret of the pavilion master, we are not enemies."

"Are you from Su Rong?" Zhong Li's voice also dropped, "How can I believe that you are from Su Rong? As far as I know, she didn't even think about taking you when she ran away. Don't you blame her?"

"Qingming Pavilion is under the orders of Princess Changping and Young Master Ji Wen. I am the only one who directly obeys the orders of the Pavilion Master." If you tell the truth, Bai Moli will slander: She is standing in front of you and talking in my mind .

Zhong Li was suspicious, and confirmed to Bai Jasmine again: "Is she really dead?"

"Before the empress ascended the throne, Xiaoqinglou had already given reliable news—Bailizhuang was massacred, and the owner of the pavilion was desperate and led people to jump off the cliff. Although Xiaoqinglou did not find the body...do you think you can survive if you jump down? "

"There's a lake down there."

"The frozen lake has been frozen for thousands of years. If you don't fall to death, you will freeze to death."

Zhong Li turned his face away, supported his forehead, closed his eyes, and frowned: "I thought she wouldn't die..."

"Everyone is mortal." Bai Moli sighed, "My lord's condolences."

Zhong Li frowned even more when he heard this, doubts flashed across his eyes.Through the iron railing, Zhong Li looked at the uninvited guest again, seeing the latter's expression of pain, with only himself in his eyes, thinking in his heart: "If you can rescue me, I can take you to see His Majesty."

Bai Jasmine raised her sleeves, wiped away her tears, and smiled knowingly: "We have to think long-term."

Zhong Li has been imprisoned here for a day, and he can hold his breath, waiting for the opportunity—the opportunity to escape.Regardless of whether Bai Jasmine comes or not, she has to go out, if she stays here for one more day, there will be chaos in the palace.

Naturally, Bai Jasmine was also worried about something happening in the palace. She heard Zhong Li talking about running away, but she still had the mind to sit down and read the book, and she was very convinced in her heart.

The next day, when the food deliverer opened the door, Bai Moli greeted her with a smile: "Brother, when will the young master come? I miss her."

The other party turned a deaf ear, put down the lunch box, and closed the door.

On the third day, it was still the same.

Two meals a day, each time the lunch box is sent back intact, Bai Jasmine can persist, but Zhong Li can't - she is a literary girl, goes on hunger strike every day, even if she runs away, she can't run far.

After waiting for a while, the door opened again, and a new lunch box was put down heavily.

This time, Bai Jasmine stopped laughing. She lifted the lunch box and put it outside the iron railing of Zhong Li, with a firm attitude: "You must eat."

Outside the passage, the figure flickered, and a figure came out with empty hands.

"She has to eat." The voice of the person who spoke was extremely hoarse, as if every word was torn and shouted, but it was barely heard.

"Follow the order." The guard got the order, suddenly thought of something, turned around and asked for instructions, "Princess, where is the other one?"

"If she eats it, bring it with her."

The guard waited on the spot, waiting for the second half of the sentence, which was delayed for a while, and finally said: "If she hasn't eaten, there is no need to give it away in the future."
