Early the next morning, An Su got up as usual to deal with the fecal water in the dung truck, and as soon as she stepped out of the door, she was stopped by a little girl, who was sent by Xu Muma to call An Su over.

I don't know why, but I vaguely feel that it will be related to yesterday's events. Princess Lu Yuan will repay her eyes, and she will never give up on that slap.

When he came to the courtyard at the door of Xu Mu's house, there were already eunuchs waiting for execution standing aside, and An Su knew in his heart that he would not be able to escape this time after all.

"Mama, why did you call the slave and maid over?" Even though she knew what she was about to face, Ansu remained calm.

"You didn't do your errand yesterday, and the dung water was sprinkled on the palace road, and it smoked Princess Lu Yuan who was passing by. The princess told us to teach you how to do things. Mama Xu Mu beckoned to the eunuchs waiting behind, "If you have nothing to justify, just take the punishment directly!" ”

"No." An Su didn't say anything, obediently walked up to the eunuch, and took down the forty boards.

But what she didn't expect was that these forty boards were not the whole of the punishment, and when she supported herself and wanted to retreat, she was stopped by Mama Xu Mu again.

"Did I let you go?" Mama Xu Mu scolded angrily, and An Su stopped in place again.

"What else does Mama command?" Ansu's voice was very weak, and he was almost using his whole body to support himself.

"Someone, bring me chili water." Mama Xu Mu gave an order, and two little palace maids took out two cans of chili water from the house, "This chili water is poured on the wound, not to mention how comfortable it tastes, Princess Lu Yuan specially instructed us to make the girl comfortable." ”

Now An Su is really a little afraid, it's okay to be beaten, and the injury can always recover, but after pouring pepper water, it is difficult to ensure that the wound will not festering and pus, and it may leave some hideous scars at that time.

No matter how scared he was, An Su was alone, and after a few struggles, he was still pressed to the ground, and the pepper water poured directly on his body. An Su couldn't help but let out a few screams, and the wound was like thousands of ants biting, and the pain was so painful that she almost passed out.

I don't know how long this punishment lasted, An Su's eyes were blurred, and he only felt bursts of pepper water pouring over his body, and he was used to the pain. She stayed on the ground like this until Mama Xu asked them to stop.

Later, I don't know what they said again, Ansu only knew that he could go back. She propped herself up, leaned against the filthy and smelly wall in Yongxiang, and returned to her residence step by step. When he finally arrived at the door, his strength was loosened, and the whole person fell into the house. She was so tired that she didn't want to think about anything, she didn't want to do anything, so she lay quietly, letting the daylight through the window turn into moonlight.

"Ansu, wake up." It was already night, and Ansu's consciousness was starting to drift, and she was in a daze or heard someone calling her.

She struggled to open her eyes, and there seemed to be a small eunuch in front of her, and she couldn't see much else. She felt as if the eunuch had picked her up and laid her on the couch, fed her a pill, and took off her coat to examine the wounds on her body.

An Su didn't have the strength to resist, so he tossed him, but after taking the medicine, his mind seemed to be much clearer, and the pain in his body became clearer. An Su was finally able to see the appearance of the person in front of him clearly, what kind of eunuch was this, it was clearly Deng Tong who was dressed as a eunuch.

"Deng Tong? How did you end up here? An Su wanted to stand up, but his strength couldn't recover much, so he had to lie on the couch and ask him.

"The news came out of the slave's eyeliner in the palace, and the slave hurried over." Deng Tong looked at the injury on An Su's body distressedly, "Girl, bear with it first." ”

After a sharp pain, An Su felt a cold patch from the wound, probably because Deng Tong had used some medicine to clear the burning sensation caused by the pepper water.

"Miss Ansu, don't stay here, go out of the palace with the slaves!" Deng Tong hesitated for a moment, and then said, "The slave will help you find your younger brother, and Miss Bo and Miss Su will also send someone to take good care of it." ”

"How do you know...... Did you investigate me? Ansu was a little surprised, but not angry. A mysterious person like Deng Tong is naturally cautious, if he doesn't find out her identity, he will definitely not be so kind to her with confidence.

"The slave just wants to know more about the girl." Deng Tong helped An Su tie her clothes, seeing that she seemed to be hesitating, and said, "Go out of the palace with the slave, and the slave will handle all the things that the girl is worried about." As soon as you settle down after leaving the palace, the slave will send someone to the Changting Hall to inform Gu Xiangshi and ask him to meet you. ”

An Su Fangcai was also a little reluctant to Gu Wenzhou, and he saw this. An Su bit his lip, and no longer hesitated too much, and nodded as soon as his heart was horizontal: "Okay, I'll go with you." ”

Deng Tong had arranged several eyeliners in Yongxiang a long time ago, and now if he wants to take Ansu out smoothly, he can just use them. According to An Su's meaning, he would wait for his injuries to heal before going out, but Deng Tong was worried that they would find a way to toss her, so he chose a day and went out tonight.

An Su was injured, and it was very troublesome to change clothes, so Deng Tong directly put on the eunuch's robe for her, and quietly went out through the side door while there was no one at night. The side doors of Yongxiang extend in all directions, and Deng Tong chose the side gate closest to the Northwest Palace Gate, and after they came out, they only needed to walk a distance to slip out from the Northwest Palace Gate.

Tonight is a suitable day to escape, the moonlight is very dark, the northwest palace gate is closed at night, but the palace wall here is low, with Deng Tong's ability, it is almost effortless to take An Su to leap over. It's just that Ansu was injured, and if he walked a little faster, he would be involved in the wound.

The two of them walked slowly under the cover of the nearby woods, and the guards on night came and went, but they never found their figures. Finally arrived at the gate of the Northwest Palace, Deng Tong found a palace wall that was best to climb, and there was a tree next to it that was connected to the head of the wall, just with the help of the power of this tree, Ansu went up first.

"It may involve the wound for a while, if it hurts, bear with it a little, and when you return to the drunken spring building, the slave will give the girl the best wound medicine, and it won't take a while to be completely fine."

Deng informed An Su, then grabbed her waist and flew to the tree, stepped on the branch again, and stepped on the palace wall with the help of such strength. Although Deng Tong told him in advance that he would pull the wound, he was always careful, and An Su didn't feel much pain.

It's just that the slamming on the branch seems to have attracted the attention of the guards near the palace gate, and a small group of people has already begun to turn this way. Deng Tong escorted An Su and leaned down against the palace wall, listening to the footsteps of those people. They came in a hurry, but after searching around here, they found no clue, and hurried back again, thinking it was a wild cat or something.

Deng Tong quietly breathed a sigh of relief and slowly raised his body, but a beam of light that did not belong to the moonlight shook on his face. Those guards were gone, but another group of people approached this side, led by Cheng Jiao, the great eunuch in Changle Palace. An Su quietly raised his eyes to look at them, and when he recognized this person, some cold sweat involuntarily broke out on his forehead.

"Deng Tong, we may not be able to leave." An Su sighed, "Those are the Queen Mother's people, and their appearance here means that the Queen Mother has found out that I am not in Yongxiang." ”

"So what? It's only a matter of time before you're discovered, and the slave must take you away today. Deng Tong grabbed An Su's waist again, wanting to take her out of the palace directly.

Although the northwest palace gate is slightly lower than other places, if it jumps down directly, it will definitely make a lot of noise. If they attract the attention of those guards, they will be caught even if they leave the palace gate. What's more, the Queen Mother's people are also here, if they know that the two of them are fleeing, maybe there will be a capital crime on their heads.

An Su glanced at Cheng Jiao, who was getting closer and closer, and ruthlessly ripped away Deng Tong's hand around her waist.

"Miss Ansu, what's wrong?" Deng Tong looked back in surprise.

"I can't get you involved." Ansu struggled to squeeze out a smile at him, and without waiting for him to say anything, she pushed him out of the palace, and she herself jumped inside without hesitation.

The two of them landed at the same time, and the sound attracted the guards patrolling the palace, but they didn't expect that there was another person outside. The guards, like the people brought by Cheng Jiao, focused their attention on An Su who fell inside.

"Miss Shangguan, our family is ordered by the Queen Mother to take the girl to Changle Palace." Cheng Jiao's voice sounded in front of him, An Su didn't feel that he was held by Deng Tong before, but at this time, he was alone, the wounds on his body hurt and panicked, and his consciousness slowly became confused again.

An Su only heard Cheng Jiao mention the three words Changle Palace several times, and then closed his eyes and fainted completely.

When she woke up again, it was dark or dawn outside, and Ansu was lying in a room she had never seen before. Looking at the gorgeous style and some familiar decorations, it seems to be a side hall in Changle Palace.

An Su endured the pain and stood up, but saw a small figure sitting next to the bed, she thought it was the new eunuch of Changle Palace, but this figure looked like a child, and it was not wearing the clothes of a eunuch.

"Eldest sister." A soft and glutinous voice came out of the little boy's mouth.

An Su seemed to be electrocuted for a moment, her heart twitched violently, and the sound was very similar to her lost young brother. Looking at the figure of this little boy, he is only eight or nine years old, about the same age as his younger brother Shaojun. Ansu pulled the little boy in front of him, and when he saw his face clearly, he couldn't help but hold him tightly in his arms.

"Shaojun, Shaojun, the eldest sister has finally found you, where have you been these days? The eldest sister has been looking for you for a long, long time. Ansu's tears fell uncontrollably, and she felt the little boy's hand caress her back, patting it gently one after another. By the way, this is what she often did to Shaojun when he was crying in the past, and the boy in front of him is her younger brother Shaojun, there will be no mistake.

"Shaojun, this is Changle Palace, how did you appear here?" Ansu asked as she checked the boy for injuries.

"Of course, the mourning family brought him over." Outside, the voice of the Queen Mother sounded, and the little boy obediently stepped aside.

"Shaojun, you go down to play with Mama Hu first, the mourning family has something to say to your eldest sister."

Seeing Shaojun obediently run out, An Su was still a little reluctant, and his eyes kept following his figure. The search and suffering of the past two years have all bloomed at this moment.

"Thank you Queen Mother for helping the slave find my brother." An Su had many questions in her heart, how the Queen Mother learned about her family affairs and how she found her younger brother, but these were no longer important at this time. She saw her younger brother again, and it was the Queen Mother who helped her find it, and this alone was enough for her to express her gratitude to the Queen Mother.

"Don't be in a hurry to thank the mourning family first, you have been looking for your brother for two years, and you still haven't found anything, so you know that it is not easy to find someone." The Queen Mother sat on the edge of An Su's bed and signaled that she didn't have to get up and salute, "The mourning family has spent so much effort to help you get your brother back, but it's not just doing good deeds." ”

An Su naturally understood what the Queen Mother meant, so she asked directly: "What does the Queen Mother want the slave to do?" ”

"Sure enough, it's a smart person, and he can understand it at one point." The Queen Mother slowly explained, "I also told you about the mourning family last time, and now the princes and kings are eyeing Chang'an. In order to prevent them from threatening the emperor's power, the mourning family had to send some fine works to the vassal states as family members. If there is any change in these princes and kings, they will inform the mourning family of the situation at any time. ”

"What does the Queen Mother mean by letting the slave maid become one of the fine works?" Ansu frowned inadvertently.

"Yes, you are smart and clever, and you can withstand pain, coupled with such a good look, after training, even the princes and kings, no one will not be tempted by you."

An Su bit her lip and clenched her fists, she finally shook her head: "Queen Mother, please forgive the slave maid for not agreeing." ”

"Why not? On the surface, you are the concubine of the princes and kings, enjoying all the glory and wealth, and you only need to pass the news to the mourning family on weekdays. Even if the princes and kings find out that you are the meticulous work of the mourning family, because of the prestige of the mourning family, they will snub you a few points at most, and they will not dare to do anything on the surface, you will be safe no matter what. ”

But An Su still shook his head: "The slave is overwhelmed, and I ask the Queen Mother to find someone else." ”

"Ansu, the private affairs of children should be let go in the face of national affairs." The Queen Mother meant something.

An Su pursed her lips, lowered her head and said, "Whether it is for the sake of children's personal affairs or not, slaves and maids can't take on this heavy responsibility." ”

"Really? That's a pity, the mourning family has never liked to do anything to children, but sometimes it's in a hurry, and it will break the rules. The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes dangerously, she had already prepared two ways, if the temptation failed, then coercion, there was always a way to achieve her goal.
