The ropes on Xu Miaojin's body had been untied, and she paced back and forth in this dark place, moving her numb hands and feet. Before leaving, King Gaoyang added a few more things, candles, charcoal stoves, flints, and a few wooden barrels with lids filled with well water.

A thick curtain was placed in the corner of the wall opposite the bed curtain, which was supposed to be a place for "changing".

The vents are relatively small and high. The only passage is the entrance to the cellar, where the staircase has now been removed; Xu Miaojin looked up and observed, there was no ladder that people could not reach, and there was an iron fence on it, so it was impossible to climb out.

The entrance above is also the place where the internal and external things are exchanged through the rope, and Xu Miaojin's future needs and the discarded things to be sent out can only pass through this place.

In such a situation, it was difficult for her to escape. What's more, she didn't want to run away without permission, otherwise more things might happen.

Zhu Gaoxu was able to do such a thing, his courage was greater than Xu Miaojin imagined!

Xu Miaojin said in his heart: It was Zhu Gaoxu who took advantage of the danger of others and bullied himself in this cellar, what can he do? This place is secret, and her identity is held in Zhu Gaoxu's hands, and she dare not make a noise......

Thinking of this, Xu Miaojin's face was hot, and there was an indescribable feeling in his heart...... Forcibly imprisoned in the cellar, she was very ashamed; But Zhu Gaoxu has his own reasons, and he didn't despise her, he wanted to blame but couldn't blame him.

Everything here was so carefully prepared, he probably imagined that he would live in it himself, so thoughtful...... Xu Miaojin faintly had the illusion that Zhu Gaoxu lived with her.

…… Zhu Gaoxu walked to the door of the storehouse full of wine jars, turned his head and said: "Wang Gui, lock the gatehouse of the back garden, no one else is allowed to come in, you live next to this storehouse." Tell your godson Cao Fu to deliver more food, divide it in a bowl, and send it to the wine cellar. ”

Wang Gui said: "The slave and maid obey the order. ”

Zhu Gaoxu thought for a while and said, "Didn't you study in Yanwang's Mansion?" Later, I went to the study to bring some books and told Cao Fu that you should study hard here. ”

After he said that, he looked around again, looking at the high wall of the county king's mansion, and his panicked heart settled down a little. If an ordinary person hides an individual, it will be easy to find out; But the high wall of the county king's mansion is erected, and it is the home of the powerful, now except for King Yan, who dares to check the county king's mansion?

He was carrying his head to do important things for King Yan, and it was impossible for King Yan to move his mansion.

Zhu Gaoxu took out a letter written by Xu Miaojin from his arms and handed it to Wang Gui: "You clean up, put on a big hat, and go to Chiyueguan to deliver the letter first." ”

Wang Gui took the letter, hugged his fists and said, "The slave and maid take their leave." ”

Zhu Gaoxu looked around, and let out a long breath, now he couldn't care about anything more, and he had to prepare the trip immediately.

He walked out of the back garden, locked the gatehouse, and then found Cao Fu and told him to pass the order: find Wang Bin and Wei Da and then go to the mansion to discuss matters. Zhu Gaoxu was busy changing his clothes, and went to the Yanwang Mansion first to contact the eunuch Zheng He.

Zhu Gaoxu took a few horses, rode out on horseback, and rushed to the Yanwang Mansion. He found someone to find Zheng He, agreed to leave tomorrow, and then went to the inner house of King Yan's mansion to say goodbye to his mother and wanted to tell her to pay attention to secrecy.

……

It was the cold time of the spring, and Princess Xu was not in good health, and there was still a clay stove for heating in the room. The princess Zhang is also here, helping Princess Xu sew a red cloak.

"I heard that my father and second uncle are going to fight again." Zhang said softly, "Before, my daughter-in-law met my father at the door of the inner hall, and my father said that he was going to go far away, and asked his daughter-in-law to come over to accompany the princess more often. ”

Princess Xu said: "You are also busy at home, you don't need to listen to him!" There are so many slaves and maids in the palace, and your little aunt is with me. ”

"By the way, didn't you see my aunt today?" Zhang asked casually.

Princess Xu said: "I haven't seen anyone for two days, and a slave said that she went back to Chiyueguan, and she estimated that she would be back soon." ”

"Also, the little aunt is a true person, and when she cultivates, she is a divine dragon who sees the end and does not see the head." Zhang said with a smile.

At this moment, a maid said at the door: "Princess Niangniang, King Gaoyang is here." ”

After a while, sure enough, I saw Zhu Gaoxu walking to the door, and when his foot stepped on the threshold, he bent down slightly, beware of hitting his head on the door. The burly figure blocked the doorway, and the light in the room dimmed a little.

"Erchen to meet the concubine......" Zhu Gaoxu turned his head to look at it again, "The sister-in-law is also there." ”

Zhang said with a smile on his face: "The mother concubine is sewing a cloak for my father, and I came to help." The second uncle also wants to hurry up and marry a brother-in-law for me...... Mother, don't you say? ”

Princess Xu immediately nodded and said, "When he is done with your father, I will help him arrange it." ”

"Mother, there is something ...... matter with the son," Zhu Gaoxu muttered.

Zhang's eyes rolled, and he immediately came back to his senses, and soon put down his needle and thread and stood up, "Ouch, my legs are sore, my daughter-in-law will go out for a walk first." The mother concubine also has to move her legs and feet, but don't sit for a long time. ”

Princess Xu nodded and smiled: "Just think thoughtfully." ”

Zhang walked towards the door and crossed shoulders with Zhu Gaoxu. Suddenly, she smelled a very faint fragrance, and it passed in an instant. At this time, Zhang had already walked to the door, and it was not good to go back and smell carefully, so he had to go out.

Although the faint fragrance is faint, Zhang's nose is very smart, and he can vaguely smell it when he gets closer...... That's the rare spice of the Western Regions she got it! In Beiping, except for what she has in her hands, I really haven't smelled it anywhere else.

Zhang immediately thought that the last time he sent the purse, the spice gave Xu Miaojin a few pieces!

She suddenly "plopped" in her heart, and said in her heart: Zhu Gaoxu and Xu Miaojin had physical contact? Or did Xu Miaojin send a little spice to Zhu Gaoxu?

Either way, the relationship between these two people is not ordinary!

The Zhang family was shocked at first, Xu Miaojin was the younger sister recognized by the mother, and even gave her name. But soon she didn't think it was strange...... That Xu Miaojin looks gorgeous, this huge Yanwang Mansion, who can compare to her in terms of appearance? Zhu Gaoxu is a teenager again, and he hasn't even married a daughter-in-law, he often runs to the mansion of King Yan, and there are many opportunities to meet Xu Miaojin.

If there is something unsightly about the two of them, it is not enough to be surprised.

Zhang was not born in a wealthy family, but he had heard of this kind of noble family before, and there were the most dirty things. When she thought about it, she almost decided that something was wrong with King Gao Yang and Xu Miaojin.

However, she thought about it again, just that smell that was easy to dissipate, couldn't make Zhu Gaoxu sit down; It will also make the Zhang family himself hated by Princess Xu and considered to sow discord.

Therefore, Zhang quickly decided that he could not act rashly for the time being, and the matter had to be seen in the aftermath.
