In the northernmost part of the palace of Gaoyang County, there is a garden of illegal buildings, and in the garden, near the entrance house of the inner hall, there are several houses, one of which has a wine cellar built in it.

The cellar had been stocked with wine, but now it was almost all removed, and a few jars were left in the corners. It was dimly lit, and the light from the hole above could only brighten up a small area.

Xu Miaojin was tied hands and feet and sat on a chair covered with soft fur. The silk ball in her mouth had been taken out, and she could speak now, but she didn't say a word, just silently watched Zhu Gaoxu busy working there.

On the brick wall next to it, there is a picture with some lines drawn on it, and Zhu Gaoxu seems to be rebuilding according to this drawing.

"This kind of cellar is most afraid of silting carbon dioxide." Zhu Gaoxu spoke, but Xu Miaojin was confused, as if he was listening to a book from heaven.

He rolled up his sleeves, took a shovel, and stood on a pair of ladders digging holes. He put the excavated earth into a burlap bag, hung it on the hook and rope at the entrance of the cellar, and said to it: "Pull! Put it in the house, and we'll get it back to the lake in the evening. ”

Zhu Gaoxu turned around, glanced over here, and said: "Things are in a hurry, I only prepared some things in advance, and I couldn't repair the cellar, and now I am halfway through, so I can only rush to work overnight."

The hole I dug led to a utility room, and there was a passage outside the utility room, facing the northwest direction, which was an air outlet. In spring and autumn, the wind at the tuyere is particularly strong.

Just open one of the windows in the utility room and the wind will pour into the house; When the hole is dug and the other doors and windows of the utility room are locked, the wind can only penetrate the hole...... Then through the cellar, through the opening above, to achieve ventilation. ”

Xu Miaojin was speechless.

What she cared about was whether there was ventilation in this dark cellar, so she frowned and said, "King Gaoyang has imprisoned me at home, or is it in this kind of cellar, have you ever thought about my innocence?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Wang Gui won't say it, but only you know anything else." ”

Xu Miaojin almost cried: "Innocence is more than fame. ”

Zhu Gaoxu frowned and said, "I didn't treat my little aunt like this!" ”

"Alas......" Xu Miaojin sighed and was speechless again.

Zhu Gaoxu came down from the ladder, walked to the corner of the wall, picked up a jar of wine on the left and right, lifted the shovel with one free hand, turned his head and said, "I'll dig up there, wait for a while, and then come down." So saying, he went up the wooden staircase that had been at the entrance of the cellar.

Xu Miaojin didn't blame Zhu Gaoxu, but at first he didn't expect him to do this, what he did was incredible! But after calming down and thinking about it for a while, she felt that this matter was not wrong.

Zhu Gaoxu seems to be going to Beijing to do something, if he is detected by the imperial court in advance, it will be a self-defeating net. Zhu Gaoxu knew that she was a spy and kidnapped her...... It seems that only by eradicating it first can we feel at ease.

Trust is indeed a luxury, and sometimes too costly.

But it's so humiliating that she's locked up in the cellar! After experiencing such a thing, what face do you have to see? I don't know how long she will be held, and who knows what treatment she has suffered in the secluded room during this time?

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly a faint ray of light came through it. The hole Zhu Gaoxu dug is open! Sure enough, a gust of wind blew down.

After a while, Zhu Gaoxu came in with four square stools in both hands, and then silently went up the wooden stairs and came down with some wooden planks. Xu Miaojin watched him work with mixed feelings, and then saw clearly that he was building a bed.

Xu Miaojin looked back at the small cellar, and then at the bed, her face was hot.

She could tell the day and night from the light above, when the light was fading, and the cellar was lit with candles, and it should be night. Zhu Gaoxu and Wang Gui are still busy.

Sometimes they haven't come down for a long time, Xu Miaojin faintly feels a little scared, but she has no choice but to endure it silently.

…… The changed candles were blown out, and the light at the entrance of the cave grew brighter, from night to day. Zhu Gaoxu only slept for a short time last night, and he brazenly slept in the cellar.

Xu Miaojin's hands and feet were not tied tightly, but she couldn't move at will, and now she felt back pain and was very uncomfortable.

She struggled in her chair for a moment, opened her tired eyes, and soon found that the cellar had changed. She was so surprised that she wanted to rub her eyes and see it clearly.

The surrounding brick walls are covered with moon-blue silk curtains, and the breeze blows in through the vents, and the curtains are gently shaking, and there are some red flowers embroidered on them. The cellar doesn't look so shabby and gloomy anymore.

"Do you like light blue?" Zhu Gaoxu's tired and deep voice said, "I saw that you wore a light blue dress a few times, so I chose this color. ”

Xu Miaojin glanced at him and didn't say a word, but her heart was mixed, and she really didn't understand what her mood was, but at least she understood that she had never felt like this when she was so big.

There was also a wooden bed with four square stools, covered with a soft and thick mattress, and a wide blanket, which hung down on both sides to cover the stool. I haven't even laid down, but it's quite comfortable just to look at...... With such a simple build, it looks very good.

There are still two curtains hanging in front of the bed, a translucent silk curtain and a thick blackout curtain, which are now rolled up, giving it the feeling of a bedroom. He didn't even forget to bring a foot pedal and put two pairs of cloth shoes.

In the corner of the wall at the foot of the bed, there was a bathtub, still holding the curtains; Next to the tub is a waist stool with white towels and several glass bottles stacked on top of it.

At the head of the bed, there is a wooden table and an upholstered chair, and a row of books is erected against the wall. What's more, there is a plum blossom in a vase on it. In the opposite corner, a thick curtain was covered.

Xu Miaojin originally thought that he was going to be imprisoned like a prisoner, but when he saw this scene, there were not many places available, and they were all arranged by the king of Gaoyang County.

Zhu Gaoxu took a long breath and said, "It's almost over, I have to wronged my little aunt for a while." Later, I will dismantle the stairs, with a skein on it, and bring food and water to Wang Gui in the food box. After the little aunt finished eating, the dishes and chopsticks were put back into the food box, and the things that needed to be processed were all hooked through the noose and made out by Wang Gui. ”

Xu Miaojin deliberately didn't respond to him, her face was red, and she felt very complicated in her heart, but she couldn't say it...... What can you say? Do you want to say thank King Gao Yang for his careful arrangement, thank King Gao Yang for locking himself in a cellar?
