Everything came according to his own plan, but it seemed that everything was going too smoothly, which also deepened the uneasiness in Chu Yunsheng's heart.

After watching Eryuan take Master Yuanchen away, she didn't stop long, and went directly to the attic where her aunt and her aunt were.

Not as cautious as when he came, the Dongyuan side was already in chaos outside because of Brother Dumb's mixing, and before Chu Yunsheng flashed out of the courtyard just now, he heard the sound of catching assassins from inside, the scene was already chaotic enough, because of the death of several people in the secret room and the escape of Master Yuanchen, the scene became more and more chaotic, and Chu Yunsheng took advantage of this chaos to directly copy the nearest road and swept in the direction of the attic.

After leaving the East Garden, she gave up the eaves and walked on the wall, but still used her identity as a palace maid who followed Concubine Duan to go all the way back, although the guards along the way looked at her from time to time, because her hair and clothes were all soaked, so wet and sticky to her body, it was inevitable that people would look weird, but Chu Yunsheng was making a gesture from Nanyuan to the attic, and the structure of Nanyuan and Dongyuan is similar, there is also a lotus pond, after the guards interrogated by the two teams, she said that she was going to get the relics of Her Royal Highness the princess left in Nanyuan, because there was no one to go to Nanyuan, and there was no light line, she stumbled and fell into the lotus pond, and such a statement can still be said in the past, but at this time, the whole mansion is clamoring to catch the assassin, and the guards and generals want to arrest Chu Yunsheng as a suspicious character, but because of the token of the concubine on her body, she had to let go, and finally see that she is a delicate little girl, and she really doesn't look like an assassin, so no one asks about this matter.

Chu Yunsheng kept his eyebrows down and lowered his hands, and returned to the courtyard where the attic was located safely.

At this time, the courtyard was not the same as when she left, but after a while, the maids and servants in plain clothes were already kneeling on the ground in the courtyard, and even the guards here had changed into white robes.

In the distance, the wailing could be heard from the attic.

After saying hello to the previous guard, Chu Yunsheng walked up to the attic around the kneeling maid and servant on this place.

Before he reached the door, he could already hear the sobbing sound in the room, and when Chu Yunsheng turned around, he saw a room full of people, including the old lady who was wiping her body and changing clothes for the "princess" on the edge of the bed, the maid who was cleaning up the room, and the old servant who was burning incense and kowtowing in the house.

And beside the bed of "Her Royal Highness the Princess" sat the figure of Concubine Duan, her eyes were full of tears, indescribable sadness and distress.

As soon as she saw the figure of Chu Yunsheng appearing at the door, Concubine Duan's eyes lit up, and she immediately said to those who were still busy: "Let's all retreat and wait outside the door, and the palace will personally change the clothes of Her Royal Highness the princess." ”

Hearing this, the maids and old ladies in the room were stunned, and they obviously didn't expect that the dignified Duan Concubine Niangniang would personally change the clothes of Her Royal Highness the princess, but at this time, since her order had been issued, everyone did not dare to disobey it, so they only bowed their heads and took the order and retreated.

After they all retreated, Chu Yunsheng, who had been standing at the door waiting for them to leave, turned around and closed the door.

Seeing that Concubine Duan was already busy getting up to greet her, Chu Yunsheng said anxiously, "How is my aunt?"

Hearing this, Concubine Duan nodded and then pointed to the compartment covered by the curtain and said, "Don't worry, it's good, how is Mr. Yuanchen?"

The compartment over there can obviously hear the movement here, and when Master Yuanchen was mentioned, Chu Yunsheng and Concubine Duan only heard the door panel of the compartment suddenly click, and then immediately after that, a gap was revealed in the door panel of the compartment behind the curtain, and then the eyes of Su Yun and Xiao Yijun poked out.

When they saw that there was no one outside, they pushed open the door and walked out through the curtain.

Xiao Yijun's body was still a little trembling, and her face was getting paler, but her eyes were shining, she looked at Chu Yunsheng and asked, "How is your master?"

When Chu Yunsheng saw her coming, he hurriedly stepped forward to help, and looked back at the closed door behind him, making sure that no one was eavesdropping on the door, so he lowered his voice and said to a few people in the room: "Don't worry, he has been rescued, but the situation is not very good, he has been tortured, and now I can't see my aunt in person, when I escape with my aunt, I will meet him." ”

When she heard the first half of the sentence, Xiao Yijun's eyes were obviously relaxed, what she had been worried about finally didn't happen, at least he was rescued now and alive and well, but when she heard the second half of Chu Yunsheng's words, her heart hurt again, she knew Chu Yunsheng, if it wasn't for the tortured inhuman form, she wouldn't have said the words "I can't see my aunt in person after some torture...... Thinking of this, Xiao Yijun's heart hurt even more, she couldn't wait for herself to grow a pair of wings at this time, fly away from here, and go all the way to his side.

Chu Yunsheng naturally understood her mood at this time, and now that they were here, they really couldn't delay.

She raised her eyes and glanced at Xiao Yijun and Su Yun, then turned her head to look at Concubine Duan and said, " Just in order to rescue Master Yuanchen, it has caused a lot of sensation on the Nanyuan side, I believe that after they thoroughly investigate other places in the mansion to no avail, they will send people to search here, after all, according to reasoning, if Master Yuanchen wants to escape, the first person to come to see is the aunt, so it is definitely not safe here, but the guards outside are hindered by Concubine Duan's mother here, if they want to search here, they will definitely go to King Wei to ask for their lives, once they ask for their lives and we haven't left, we can only give up our efforts, and ......"

Speaking of this, Chu Yunsheng paused, and she turned her head to look at the side face of the girl who was disguised as her aunt in the dim light on the bedside...... The light here is dim, and the situation is special at this time, and few people will seriously look at the princess on the sickbed, and if once you thoroughly investigate here, someone will notice that this "princess" is different...... That is, all the efforts have been wasted.

Therefore, this is what Chu Yunsheng is most worried about now.

And before Chu Yunsheng finished speaking, Concubine Duan in front of her had already caught the worry in her eyes, she hurriedly stepped forward and put her palm on Chu Yunsheng's shoulder, and said gently: "And at that time, if you come to investigate thoroughly, not only will you not be able to run, but the fake princess on the bed will also be discovered?"

Seeing Chu Yunsheng nodded, Concubine Duan sighed, then looked at Xiao Yijun and said, "Then there is no other way, but to ask the princess to forgive me...... I'm going to burn this attic. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yijun was stunned.

And Chu Yunsheng understood what Concubine Duan meant at this moment.

She hadn't thought of a way yet, but she never thought that Concubine Duan had already made a decision in the blink of an eye.

Facing Xiao Yijun's surprised expression, Concubine Duan said: "Wait a minute, I will send everyone down the attic, and then set fire to burn this place, and obstruct those guards who came to extinguish the fire, and when King Wei or someone questioned it, I said that this is the princess's meaning, she didn't want to leave a remnant body here, so she asked me to burn the fire clean, at that time, when the fire spread from the attic, and everyone was busy fighting the fire, you took advantage of the chaos to leave the princess's mansion, and from then on, Her Royal Highness the princess is really dead, and there is no longer any evidence and omission." ”

Listening to her analysis one by one, Xiao Yijun's eyes also crossed with appreciation.

Similarly, Chu Yunsheng also had to look at Concubine Duan with admiration, she used to think that she was decisive and ruthless, but now it seems that she still underestimated her, compared to her ruthlessness and decisiveness, the ability to be fearless and adapt to situations is beyond Chu Yunsheng's reach at this time.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel such a feeling, fortunately, they are friends, not enemies, if they are enemies with such a woman, I am afraid that they are not opponents at all.

However, it was precisely because they were friends at this time, seeing that she was so considerate of them, Chu Yunsheng couldn't help but feel distressed, she raised her eyes to look at Concubine Duan and said: "This is naturally a good way, but if you take the initiative to make decisions about such a big matter and obstruct the guards from fighting the fire, I am afraid that King Wei will not be able to explain it, plus tonight's incident, if he investigates it afterwards, he will also know that it has something to do with you, and ...... then."

Even if King Wei dotes on her so much now, he will definitely be punished, she has already helped them so much, Chu Yunsheng really can't bear to drag her down anymore.

And when Concubine Duan glanced at Chu Yunsheng's eyes, she had already guessed the scruples in Chu Yunsheng's heart, she shook her head and said: "My life was given by Her Royal Highness the Princess, and she has raised me by her side all these years, and I have never repaid this kindness, and now I can do what I can, there is nothing more worthy for me." ”

Saying that, without waiting for Chu Yunsheng to say anything more, Concubine Duan said: "That's it, I'll call those girls and old ladies to come in later, and then after telling them some things, let them retreat together, you will follow them down to the attic first, and leave the rest to me." ”

Hearing her firm tone, Chu Yunsheng knew that no further persuasion would be useless, and there was no better way than this now, so she had to nod, and then let Su Yun help Xiao Yijun to hide by the pillar at the door.

As soon as they hid their figures, Concubine Duan nodded to Chu Yunsheng, and then Chu Yunsheng turned around and pushed open the door, calling in all the maids and old ladies who were waiting outside.

For a while, it was another room of people, and Concubine Duan first gave them a lecture, and then arranged the details of the layout of the mourning hall in the front hall and told them all to retreat.

At this time, more than a dozen people walked out of the house together, and Su Yun also walked behind them with Xiao Yijun and followed them down to the attic.

Because it was night, the light was dim, so the guards outside noticed that there were one or two more people among the maids and old ladies who came in.

And before they stepped out of the door, Concubine Duan turned around and walked to the candlestick that had been extinguished under the evening breeze, raised her hand to pick up the candlestick, and then lit the layers of curtains.

The silk curtain caught fire as soon as it caught fire, and the wooden attic was already a few years old, and as soon as the curtain was on fire, the flames jumped up to the roof in the direction of the wind.

And Chu Yunsheng on the side also did the same, using a candlestick to light the curtain next to him, and by the time the smoke had begun to billowing out of the room, there were already exclamations outside.

Chu Yunsheng walked quickly down the attic with Xiao Yijun at this time.

They walked down the wooden ladder with their front feet, and the guards below greeted them anxiously, and after saluting Duanfei, they asked, "I don't know what happened in the attic of Duanfei Niangniang?" The subordinates saw that there was billowing smoke above at this time, and they were about to check it out. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yijun shook his head and said, "You don't have to go up." ”

Hearing this, the guard was stunned, obviously not understanding what Xiao Yijun meant.

At this time, there was more and more smoke coming out of the attic, and there was already an open flame on the roof, and the masters who were hiding not far away also flew towards the courtyard, and the maids and old women who had not gone far just now were already starting to scream: "It's on fire!"

At this time, even the guard could already guess what was going on there, even if he was stupid, and Concubine Duan was standing at the entrance of the stairs to block his steps to check.

He raised his eyes to look at Concubine Duan, and in addition to respect, there was also surprise and doubt in his eyes.

Seeing this, Concubine Duan said: "This may be the meaning of Her Royal Highness the princess who has passed away." ”

"But Niangniang, for such a major matter, if the subordinates don't put out the fire in time, I'm afraid that I will be punished by Your Majesty, and I ask Niangniang to forgive me. ”

Although he can't afford to provoke the concubine in front of him, he can't afford the crime of destroying the princess's body, and under the trade-off, he can only take the risk of putting out the fire and rescuing the princess's remains first.

Speaking of this, he no longer dared to stalemate with Concubine Duan, he turned around in a flash and ordered the guards who were still stunned: "What are you still doing in a daze, go put out the fire and fetch water!"

Before his voice fell, the guards in the courtyard and the masters who had already pounced on the courtyard began to hurriedly extinguish the fire, rushing into the sea of fire.

However, it was only a matter of moments, and the attic was already completely on fire, and even if they immediately started to extinguish the fire, it was too late.

By this time, the yard was already in a mess.

Concubine Duan stepped aside, then glanced at Chu Yunsheng and motioned for her to leave now.

Chu Yunsheng nodded, although she was still very worried about Concubine Duan, but she couldn't delay any longer after the matter had come to this, so she just raised her hand and tightened Concubine Duan's palm, and said softly: "Take care"

Then he turned around and ran out of the courtyard with a guard who had rushed out to fetch water.
