Chapter 12: Escape
The Lou orchid in the Muning Palace withered, and was replaced by another flower called Ling Xiao, which was bright red and bright red, and looked very warm. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Mu Junning had been silent for several days looking at these flowers, Zi Su felt sorry for her, but she didn't know how to speak, so she could only take the medicine sent by the palace people, pondering the time, and when the medicine was a little colder, she lifted the wooden lid on the jade bowl, put it on the tray and held it: "Niangniang, the temperature of this medicine is just right, it's better to drink it first." ”
Mu Junning turned his head, lowered his eyes and glanced at the black lacquered medicine, picked up the jade spoon, slowly scooped half a spoonful into his mouth, and a bitter and slightly sweet taste gradually spread in the mouth, although this medicinal soup is non-toxic, it will make her no longer able to move half a minute of true qi, and there is no way to complete even a little violent action, she can only be like a waste person, trapped in this gorgeous Muning Palace.
Zi Su stared at Mu Junning and drank the medicinal soup one by one, and breathed a sigh of relief in her heart: The emperor's meaning was to ask Concubine Ning to drink this medicine no matter what, and when she drank the medicine, she couldn't leave for a moment, she was still hesitating what method to use, but she didn't expect Concubine Ning to be so obedient that she drank it without asking anything.
"Anything else?" Mu Junning put down the jade spoon, wiped the medicine on his lips, and looked at Zisu indifferently.
"It's okay, it's okay." Zi Su hurriedly waved his hand, glanced at the jade bowl that had bottomed out, hesitated again and again, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Niangniang, what is this medicine ......?"
"You don't have to ask about this, you just need to tell Yu Wenxuan......" Mu Junning looked at Shang Zisu and said word by word: "I will drink the medicine he sent, let him rest assured." The corners of her mouth turned up slightly, but her eyes were cold, like ice for ten thousand years.
Under Mu Junning's gaze, Zi Su's heart jumped suddenly, and he didn't know how to continue, and at this time when the atmosphere was awkward, Tong Chuhan suddenly appeared with the medicine boy.
As if he had been rescued, Shiso's somewhat tense face relaxed, and he hurriedly saluted and went down with the bowl and spoon he had drunk.
Seeing Zisu's figure disappear, Tong Chuhan breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a low voice: "Niangniang, the Queen Mother ordered Weichen to assist Niangniang to leave the palace, and at two o'clock in the afternoon three days later, at the back door of Muning Palace, Weichen will answer." ”
There are many people secretly monitoring Muning Palace, and there are many dreams at night, Tong Chuhan directly went straight to the point and explained his intentions.
Mu Junning was slightly stunned, and then a mocking smile appeared: "You said to answer, but I don't even have the strength to walk at the moment, how can I escape?" ”
When these words came to the back, it was obviously a questioning tone, but Tong Chuhan didn't care, but reassured: "Niangniang don't worry, this medicine is prepared by Weichen, these three days, just secretly reduce the amount of medicine, the emperor will definitely not know." ”
"Niangniang only needs to cooperate, pretending to be the same as ...... on weekdays" Tong Chuhan replied softly, and suddenly the words changed, "Niangniang's body is not bad, she only needs to recuperate a lot to heal." ”
Noticing Tong Chuhan's eyes, Mu Junning nodded cooperatively, his eyes quietly fell on Zisu, who was light and silent, and quickly made a gesture of promise, without the help of the Queen Mother, I am afraid it would be impossible to escape from the palace, so no matter what reason the other party wanted to help her, she couldn't refuse.
In the next three days, the amount of drugs in the medicinal soup that made people weak did gradually decrease, and even if they still couldn't use light power, they finally had the ability to act.
It was agreed with Tong Chuhan that the time to leave the palace was set at two o'clock in the afternoon, which was the hottest time at noon, and all the guards were tired, and compared to the dark night, the vigilance of the day was relatively looser.
Mu Junning lit the incense in the palace, the antidote was approved by Tong Chuhan in advance, and after everyone fell asleep, he hurriedly packed up, changed into the clothes of the medicine boy, and walked out the back door.
Tong Chuhan was outside the door on time, after all, staying in place for a long time would attract unnecessary attention. When Mu Junning was ready to go out, he handed over a thin piece of things: "This is ********, Niangniang should bring it in case you need it from time to time." ”
After Mu Junning thanked him, he immediately put the ******** on his face: "Master Tong still calls me Miss Mu, I can't bear to call me Niangniang." After the disguise, the mask completely covered her original stunning appearance, and her current appearance, although it is also a rare beauty, but compared to her true appearance, it can only be barely regarded as delicate and elegant.
"Yes." Tong Chuhan answered, and took Mu Junning to the west gate of the palace one after the other.
The west gate of the palace is relatively far away from the outside of the gate, but compared with the east gate, the south gate is outside the city street, and the north gate is the towering and impassable snow-capped mountain, as soon as you get out of the west gate, there is a dense forest outside the city, and it is easier to escape by taking this road.
The midday sun was very scorching, and the heat waves were surging on the jade floor, making people sweat profusely and drowsy. Mu Junning has been walking with his head down, holding a bamboo umbrella in his hand to shade Tong Chuhan in front of him, the pace under his feet is not hurried or slow, no matter how he looks at it, he is just an ordinary imperial doctor and medicine boy, and he was ordered by a nobleman to go to the harem to see a doctor and ask for a pulse under the scorching sun on his head.
Who would have thought that this medicine boy walking with his head bowed would be the emperor's favorite Concubine Ning?
In late spring and early summer, when the grass grew and the warbler flew, Mu Junning silently followed Tong Chuhan across most of the palace unharmed, and soon arrived at the west gate of the palace. On the tall city tower made of blue bricks and yellow mud, the word "White Tiger" is engraved vigorously on the plaque, and the "White Tiger Gate" is where the west gate of the palace is located. On the tower of the castle stood a group of soldiers, each holding a blade, vigilantly watching the movements in all directions.
If it was placed in normal times, a city tower of this height would not be able to trap Mu Junning at all, but her internal strength has not recovered now, and she can't even go up to half the height at all.
When he walked some distance away from the White Tiger Gate, Tong Chuhan stopped, pulled Mu Junning to the corner, and said in a low voice: "Mother...... Miss Mu ......" He didn't seem to be used to calling her Miss Mu directly, and said with a somewhat evasive gaze: "When you go out here, it is the dense forest outside the city, generally speaking, except for hunters, few people will go out of the palace from here, so Miss Mu, please wait for a while, Weichen will bring two horses over, so that the soldiers guarding the city will not suspect." ”
"That annoying boy." Mu Junning thanked him with a soft voice.
Tong Chuhan turned to leave, his lowered eyes flashed a trace of strangeness, and he pursed his lips and said, "No need to ......"
In order to facilitate the people who need to leave the palace through this door, the stable is located not far from the White Tiger Gate, and it only takes half an hour to come and go, but Tong Chuhan left this time, and it took two quarters of an hour. Mu Junning didn't know the layout of the palace, but he hadn't seen anyone for a long time, and he suddenly knew that something was wrong, and at this moment, a rapid and neat running sound slowly came from a distance, listening to the sound of weapons colliding in the sound of running, it seemed that the guards were approaching here.
Mu Junning held his breath, his back was tightly pressed against the wall, and he cautiously turned his head to look at the end of the trail, unfortunately, this was a closed dead end. Her internal strength has recovered thirty percent, but it is basically impossible to jump onto the palace wall without being discovered, so she can only pray to the heavens, hoping that the guards will not find out what she is.
The footsteps are getting closer and closer, not as neat and orderly as at the beginning, but the range has expanded, and it seems that he is dispersing his subordinates into the palace roads on both sides to look for it, and at this moment, Mu Junning is even more frightened, and his clenched palms are gradually sweating.
"Someone's there!"
Suddenly, someone pointed to Jun Ning's hidden palace road and exclaimed, and the scattered guards heard the sound and hurriedly gathered. Mu Junning looked at the strength, and when there was basically no chance of winning, she hurriedly rushed out of the palace road, but the moment she stepped out of the palace road, she was stunned, except for the guards who came to search, under the city tower of the White Tiger Gate, I don't know when, the soldiers who had already stood in three rows were already standing in front of each other, and the guards surrounded her in the middle.
At this moment, how could Mu Junning not understand that it was Tong Chuhan's secret. It's just that she doesn't understand, since he is the Queen Mother's person, and the Queen Mother ordered him to help him escape, so in the end, why did he defect?
"Ning'er ......" The deep voice sounded from the city tower, and a silver-white figure slowly appeared, he hung his head slightly, the sun could not shine on his face, but that terrifying majesty, Mu Junning immediately recognized that it was Yu Wenxuan on the city tower. Her escape from Muning Palace was half an hour ago, and Tong Chuhan's departure was only two quarters of an hour, that is to say, as early as as soon as she left Muning Palace, Yu Wenxuan already knew about it, and waited on the White Tiger Gate first.
It's really a good trick to invite you into the urn!
Mu Junning smiled and slowly walked towards the White Tiger Gate, and the soldiers under the city tower suddenly raised the halberds in their hands one after another, looking heavily guarded. But she had no intention of stopping, and continued to stroll leisurely, as if waiting in front of her was not a murderous weapon, but harmless flowers and plants.
Seeing that the person walked in front of the soldier, and the next step was to pass through the halberd, Yu Wenxuan on the city tower couldn't help but shout anymore: "Stop!" Stop! ”
Everyone put down their weapons one after another after hearing the order, and Mu Junning also stopped, raised his head slightly, and looked at Yu Wenxuan calmly.
"Ning'er, I ask you again, do you really want to leave me and leave Xirong?" Yu Wenxuan's hand on the city wall burst out, and his fingertips scraped through the green bricks fiercely, leaving a few clear blood marks, and he couldn't help but ask this question again. His eyes were fixed on her, and there was a hint of anticipation in his expression on the verge of rage, expecting her to answer "no", but with a hint of fear in anticipation, for fear that she would refuse mercilessly.
Looking at Yu Wenxuan's ever-changing strange expression, Mu Junning sighed lightly and said, "Ah Xuan, do you know my answer......
Hearing her answer, Yu Wenxuan still couldn't help but be stunned, slowly buried his head in his chest, and let out a wail sound similar to that of a beast, sad and sad that people couldn't bear to hear, just when everyone looked at each other, Yu Wenxuan suddenly raised his head and yelled at the sky, haha laughed, but the laughter was filled with incomparable pain and sadness, he laughed for half a quarter of an hour, until he laughed out of tears, and then slowly stopped.
"Mu Junning, I can let you go......" He paused, and whispered to a soldier behind him who didn't know what to say, the soldier left in a hurry, he looked at Junning, smiled coldly and continued: "As long as you can dodge my three arrows, how about it?" ”
