Chapter 149: Midnight
The news broke the peace in the palace like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, Ruan Xian obviously felt that the people around her looked at her differently, she fell into the grass and trees, and the huge panic made her guard every inch in September, a few days passed, but she found that the queen seemed to have dropped her idea of being a "traitor's daughter", and three meals a day were still as usual, that is, there were a few more guards waiting at the gate of the small courtyard, and they became more and more strict, surrounding the entire remote small courtyard.

Ruan Xian began to become restless, day after day, rumors in the palace were flying all over the sky, and even Ruan Xian's "meat ticket" could know, which showed that someone deliberately put the news to her.
The front line was losing and retreating, and the emperor consulted with the ministers late every day, and even the harem was infected with tension and panic, and the palace people secretly began to panic. Especially when I heard that the army had already conquered Zhongzhou, and if it broke through the eight cities, it would enter the capital.
Night.
Ruan Xian tossed and turned, how could she not sleep peacefully, did Yan Xu really rebel?
Thinking about it, she was very bitter in her heart, if the news was true, Yan Xu betrayed Xuguo, then she and September ...... Now trapped in the palace, does the queen want to use them to blackmail Yan Xu? But here's the problem......
Are they ...... Already abandoned?
Engaged in sending it to this day, there is not a trace of news, with Yan Xu's ability, his eyeliner in this palace is dense, has he given up now? Why did it turn out like this, or was he wronged?
"Knock knock—"
A faint knock sounded on the door, which was unusually abrupt in the silent middle of the night, Ruan Xian's eyelids jumped, and she suddenly held her breath and remained motionless. There was silence for a while, and there was no sound in the air, as if it was just her illusion just now, and just as she was relaxing her breathing, a dull "dong dong" sounded again.
Ruan Xian suddenly tightened her heartstrings, took a deep breath, and spit out slightly, staring at the door sharply, "Who?" ”
There was silence outside the door for a moment, and a familiar voice sounded low, "Ah Xian, it's me." ”
Ruan Xian was stunned when she heard this voice, muttered for a moment, suddenly lifted the quilt and went to the ground, quietly walked to the door and quickly opened the door, and turned her body sideways, "Come in." ”
A black shadow flashed in outside the door, wearing a black cloak, and his delicate little face was half-hidden under the faint oil lamp, and it was the appearance of a crane.
"The slave crane has seen the lady......"
"Don't, don't be like this, when is it?" As soon as the crane entered the door, he was about to salute, Ruan Xian hurriedly opened his mouth to stop him, he was very nervous with a drum in his heart, and the crane suddenly came in the middle of the night, Ruan Xian felt a surge of hope in his heart, it must have been sent by Yan Xu.
He'er was able to avoid the obstruction of Kunning Palace and find her accurately, Yan Xu's influence and eyeliner in this palace were really extraordinary, Ruan Xian hurriedly asked, "He'er, is the news from the palace true?" Yan Xu, did he really take refuge in Tanglin? ”
He'er's expression was very calm, and her eyes looked at her seriously, "Madam, the slave can't say much, right now you are being detained in the palace by the queen's mother, and the master is very worried." But the situation outside is tense, and the master can't help himself to come in person, so send a servant to rescue you and the little master from the palace. ”
"Where is Yan Xu now?" Ruan Xian had mixed feelings in her heart.
"Mrs. Hui, how can the master's movements be known?" He'er took out a small bag from her hand and gave it to her, and instructed in a low voice, "The Tanglin army is menacing and powerful, and now the defeat of the Xuguo has appeared. The government of the Xuguo Dynasty is corrupt, the officials are greedy for life and afraid of death, the day of the destruction of the country is not far away, tomorrow at three o'clock, the slave will come again, then the slave will take you out of the Kunning Palace, take you to sneak into the East Palace, there is a secret way out of the palace in the East Palace, all the slaves have been arranged, please rest assured. ”
"Tomorrow? So urgent? Ruan Xian was shocked, not only because He'er arranged it so urgently, but also because Yan Xu knew that there was a secret passage under the East Palace. She always thought that only she knew this secret, and she once fantasized about secretly escaping from the palace with September from this secret passage, but she didn't expect that Yan Xu knew all about it.
Ruan Xian couldn't help but stretch out her hands around her chest, suddenly felt a little cold, several emotions and thoughts were rampant in her mind, she gritted her teeth, and secretly endured it.
He'er said, "Madam, Kunning Palace is heavily guarded, and your courtyard is the top priority, which shows that the queen has long been on guard." The so-called late will change, and the minions will never dare to be careless, taking advantage of the current situation before it is at the end, otherwise, everything will be too late. ”
Looking at his sincere appearance, Ruan Xian actually believed it, her eyes flashed a little deep, and she said lightly, "These are all arranged by Yan Xu?" Since there has been an abnormal movement in the early stage, why not arrange it early? ”
He'er's eyes flashed, and she replied, "Madam, how can the master's mind slave guess it?" You better hurry up and prepare, Ming'er minion will come to pick you up, okay, it's time for the minion to retire. ”
Ruan Xian pursed her lips, nodded, watched the crane salute respectfully, and then gently opened the door and left quietly.
The faint light of the oil lamp swayed slightly, a moth flew around the sparks, Ruan Xian sat at the table with a calm face, her hand slowly covered the position of her heart, and her eyes slightly lowered to cover everything complicated in her eyes.
This night, Ruan Xian almost didn't sleep all night, the second morning light lit up the room, Ruan Xian's eyes were astringent, her brain was jumping and jumping, obviously her body was extremely tired, but her spirit was extremely tense, her face was pale, she knew that she needed to rest, but she couldn't sleep.
After breakfast, Ruan Xian walked in the courtyard as usual, and slipped back to the room for an hour to play, the eunuch and the palace maid were busy in the courtyard as usual, and the palace guards at the gate of the courtyard were as straight as pine. After noon, Ruan Xian coaxed Xiao Jiu to sleep again, and then she gradually felt a little sleepy, and after thinking about it, she told the palace maid to call her up at dinner, and she took Xiao Jiu to sleep together.
Perhaps after a morning of psychological preparation, Ruan Xian almost fell asleep with her head in her head, and was not awakened softly by the palace maid until the sun went down and sunset. I opened my eyes in a daze, yawned, and the next second, the gentle and sweet voice of the palace maid drilled into my ears.
"Madam, the queen is going to have dinner with you today, and I specially asked the slave to inform you in advance, so you can get up and prepare quickly."
Ruan Xian's mind suddenly cleared up.
There was a sudden panic in her heart, and she felt a sense of foreboding, and she was pressed down again, she sank her breath, turned over and got out of bed.
With a calm face, she asked the palace maid to dress her and comb her hair, and when everything was ready, she took the initiative to hug Xiao Jiu. Seeing this, the palace maid said very naturally, "Madam, if you have dinner with the queen's mother, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient to take care of the little lady, so it's better to let the slave and maid love to help you, and you can rest assured that you can go to dinner, right?" ”
Ruan Xian's heart suddenly tightened when she heard this, almost as if she was facing a great enemy, she refused with a tense smile, "No, the queen loves September very much, and she must be very happy to see September later." Don't bother the girl. ”
When the palace maid heard this, she had no choice but to smile, "Madame is really outside." ”
After speaking, without further words, she took the lead in going out, Ruan Xian pondered, and followed behind her with a calm and natural expression.
