The next day, the weather was still not improving, the wind was raging on the earth, and the ground was flying sand and rocks, and there was no longer the light of day.

It was daytime, but it was as gloomy as night, the wind was blowing, and the rolled sand and stones were frantically lapping against the windowpanes; It was getting darker and darker, and the little trees were swaying in the wind, whining.

Yun Ruonan didn't go out in the Heyun Palace, flipping through the books and watching.

Suddenly, with a "boom-" sound, an arrow flew in through an open window and accurately inserted it into the wooden cabinet next to Yun Ruonan.

Yun Ruonan was indeed taken aback, and at the same time he was frightened, he found that there was a cloth on the arrow.

It should just be a messenger.

She took the arrow, took off the strip of cloth and spread it out, and her face changed dramatically when she saw the words inside.

"Dungeon for help, Asen"

It was written in blood, twisted and twisted, and it didn't seem to have dried yet.

Asen she knows, but she doesn't know if this Asen is the Assen she knows.

Ah Sen is Mu Xi's most heartfelt subordinate, and he was the one who protected him when he was hunted down and killed, but his whereabouts are also unknown.

If this is really the Ah Sen she knows, will she find Mu Xi's whereabouts because of this?

But why is he in the dungeon? Was it captured by Mu Yang?

Holding back the excitement in her heart, Yun Ruonan once again silently wrote down the location of the dungeon in her heart.

After burning the strips of cloth, Yun Ruonan looked at the rainy sky outside, which was still gloomy and terrible.

She had been in the palace for many years, and the terrain had already been figured out.

She tidied up her clothes a little to make her move at least less inconvenient, and then went out with an umbrella.

After she went out, a figure in black behind the rockery also flashed away.

Luan Yin Temple.

An Hejun seemed to be in a very good mood to enjoy tea with Concubine Shen Shu, and at this time, a maid came over and whispered something in An Hejun's ear, which made the curvature of An Hejun's mouth more obvious.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Sister Shen, there are still some important things to deal with in the palace, and I will enjoy tea with my sister another day."

Concubine Shen Shufei put down the teacup, "Sister is busy, and she must also pay attention to her body, since this is the case, it is not good for the concubine to stay, so she will go back to the palace first." ”

An Hejun nodded, "Then my sister won't send it." ”

Concubine Shen smiled, answered, and went out with the maid.

An Hejun in the hall smiled with a smile, took a sip of tea in a good mood, and looked at the maid next to him, "The emperor can rest in the Heart Cultivation Palace?" ”

"Yes."

"Okay, now you do as I say."

……

Yun Ruonan came to the dungeon, and it was even darker inside.

The floor of the cell was much lower than the ground outside, even lower than the city, and therefore very wet.

Only one or two small window openings let in the light, and the windows were open high enough that the prisoners could not reach them with their hands raised. The little light that came in through the window was very faint, even at noon.

And now the weather was already gloomy, and the place had long since turned into jet black, except for a few weak candles flickering on the walls.

The shackles and chains that had been used to lock prisoners away from escape were still hanging on the walls of the dungeon, rusty.

There were still two gray-white bones left in the iron ring of the shackles, probably human leg bones, which showed that the prisoner was not only emaciated to death in the prison, but also tortured into a skeleton.

Yun Ruonan has never been here, and there is a rancid smell of rotten meat, which is very unpleasant.

If she hadn't been looking for Asen, she would have been gone.

It was so lifeless that you couldn't tell who was still alive, and finally, after looking for an unknown amount of time, she seemed to hear a weak cough.

It was one of the few voices she had heard since she came here, and she whispered, "Arsen? ”

She screamed a few more times, only to hear the sound of chains clashing, and a weak voice came slowly, "Who?" ”

She followed the sound and finally found the source, and found a man with unkempt hair and a face covered in stained blood, his limbs chained, lying on straw and dying.

When the man saw the beautiful woman outside who was out of place here, his eyes suddenly widened, and he hurriedly got up, but he tightened the wound, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead, "Emperor, queen mother." ”

"Asen is really you." Yun Ruonan couldn't help but sour his nose when he saw his old acquaintance, "You, how can you ......?"

Ah Sen's eyes were also red, "I have been imprisoned here since I was chasing and killing, but don't worry, Ah Sen has never betrayed the emperor and you." ”

Hearing his words, Yun Ruonan finally couldn't hold back her tears, "Ah Xi, aren't you with me?" ”

Ah Sen frowned, "Your Majesty...... Didn't you find it back then? ”

Yun Ruonan shook his head, and then looked at the lock, fortunately, his brother taught him how to unlock it when he was young.

She took out the hairpin, tinkered with it twice, and with a "click", the lock opened, she went in and helped Ah Sen up, "Can you go?" I'll take you out. ”

Ah Sen struggled to get up, but his right leg seemed to be unable to move, so he could only be supported by her, "Niangniang, why are you back here again." ”

"That's a long story." Yun Ruonan shook her head bitterly, "I'll tell you another day." ”

Letting the woman help him walk a few steps, Ah Sen seemed to think of something, "How did Niang Niang know that I was in the dungeon?" ”

"Didn't you write the strip of cloth for someone to pass it on to me?" Yun Ruonan glanced at him suspiciously.

"Strips of cloth?" I saw that Ah Sen's face changed, he paused, and pushed Yun Ruonan away, "Niangniang, go quickly, this is a conspiracy!" ”

"What?" Yun Ruonan was pushed and stumbled.

Ah Sen fell to the ground without support, his tone was still firm, "Niangniang, go quickly, someone wants to harm you, leave the dungeon, quickly!" ”

But at this moment, there were hurried footsteps and voices not far away.
