Chapter 383: Xiao Wu is in distress
Seeing Xiao Wu's gambling curse and swearing, Lian Xiang finally believed it: "That day, the prince asked me about Concubine Yun, and I ...... I'll tell you all I know. ”
Xiao Wu's hand hung down weakly.
"Xiao Wu, maybe you, like me in the past, think too badly of Concubine Yun." Lian Xiang said, stretched out her hand and climbed on Xiao Wu's shoulder, and comforted her in turn: "I used to think that Concubine Yun was a bad person, but now it seems that this is not the case. ”
"You see, after so many days, the prince didn't ask Concubine Yun Xingshi to ask for the guilt, nor did he attack me." Lian Xiang said, nodded firmly, I don't know if she was comforting Xiao Wu, or comforting her poor self: "If Concubine Yun is really guilty, the prince will send someone to investigate and punish her, it must be that we misunderstood Concubine Yun, it must be!" ”
"You're thinking too simply." Xiao Wu hung his head and said dejectedly: "What kind of person is the prince? If he knew something, he would definitely try his best to collect evidence of the crime, instead of going to Concubine Yun first. ”
"If you are really discovered by Concubine Yun and forced her to be anxious, I am afraid that your life will not be guaranteed."
In this way, it is even more urgent to find the mother's relatives.
"Nope." Lian Xiang listened to Xiao Wu's words, and shrank back weakly: "Xiao Wu, didn't you say that you wouldn't say anything about this matter?" ”
"I'm not going to say it." Xiao Wu nodded firmly, letting Lian Xiang calm down for the time being: "But if the prince makes a move at that time, do you think Concubine Yun will not suspect you?" ”
Xiao Wu stretched out his hand and climbed Lianxiang's shoulder again: "Lianxiang, about whether Concubine Yun is good or bad, let's not think about it first, okay?" ”
"Right now, we need to come together and get through this together. Don't worry, if something happens, I won't leave you alone. And the most important thing for me is to find my mother! ”
Xiao Wu thought of seeing his mother that day, and he couldn't help but feel a little more worried; "But I don't even know how my mother is doing, whether she's safe or not, but I have to go to her."
"This ......" Lianxiang was a little scared: "But it's so late now, the door of the mansion is locked, how can you get out?" Besides, if Concubine Yun suddenly summons you, I don't know how to get through. ”
Xiao Wu solemnly said to Lianxiang: "Lianxiang, if Concubine Yun asks about me, you can tell Concubine Yun that I have fallen asleep." If there's anything, just go for it. ”
"This ......" Lianxiang was still a little uneasy: "Say that you are asleep, Concubine Yun may also let you get up!" It's too risky, why don't I say you have a fever? ”
"Are you stupid?!" Xiao Wu hated the iron and said: "What if Concubine Yun invites a doctor to come and see?" ”
"That's it, in case Concubine Yun has something urgent, you say I'm asleep, just go." Saying that, Xiao Wu didn't wait for Lianxiang to answer, and ran towards the night by himself.
At present, Lianxiang also offered to serve Concubine Yun, but it gave Xiao Wu a loophole.
"Hey!" Lianxiang lowered her voice and shouted, but she could only see Xiao Wu's back running farther and farther away. So Lianxiang didn't feel sleepy anymore, and was alone in the dimly lit room, pacing nervously.
Right now, Lian Xiang can only believe Xiao Wu. She only hopes that Xiao Wu will come back safely.
Xiao Wu quickly ran to the back of the courtyard, and when he saw that there was no one around, he squatted down, carefully picked up the floating grass in front of the dog hole, and got out.
Before, she deliberately went outside at night, when everyone in the palace was asleep, to investigate the situation, just to find a place to enter and exit without being discovered by the patrolling guards.
After a few days of investigation, Xiao Wu found that there were only two places where he could go out of the palace without knowing it. One is the place where the princess always climbed over the wall in the past, where the guards in the palace were relatively weak.
But she can't work lightly, so it is naturally difficult to climb over the high courtyard wall. So the only thing that can get out without knowing is this inconspicuous dog hole.
Xiao Wu got out of the dog hole, and after confirming that there were no pursuers, he quickly ran towards the east of the city. It was already late now, and there were no extra people on the road except for a few horse-drawn carriages carrying people.
Xiao Wu ran all the way, sweating a little, and then ran to the street. Running so far, presumably the guards of the Zhennan Wangfu would not notice.
At this moment, a carriage on the side of the road stopped beside Xiao Wu: "Girl, where are you going?" ”
Xiao Wu raised his head and glanced at the man, only to see that the man had a sharp beak and monkey cheeks, and his eyes were squinting when he looked at her. Xiao Wu knew that in the street market at night, most of the carriages were pulled by girls like Xunxiangfang, or benefactors in the neighborhood, and the horsemen who pulled the carts were not surprised by these things, and they were inevitably contaminated with some frivolity.
Xiao Wu glanced at him with disgust, and didn't intend to ignore him, so he bypassed the carriage and continued on his way.
"Girl, there aren't so many carriages at night, and if you want to go far away, I'm afraid you won't be able to reach it until dawn." As he spoke, the sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked groom looked her up and down again: "Moreover, such a beautiful little girl, if she meets a bad person, it is not worth it." ”
Xiao Wu looked at the groom, weighed it for a while, and then turned back to the side of the carriage: "Then you say, how much does it cost to go to the east of the city?" ”
"Chengdong?" The groom looked at her, "A tael of silver." ”
Xiao Wu thought about it for a long time, but he didn't refuse or agree.
"Girl, don't be too expensive!" The horseman pointed in the direction of Xiao Wu and the east of the city: "The east of the city is several miles away from here, besides, it is night now, and it must be more expensive than in the daytime." ”
Xiao Wu slandered in his heart: One or two silver, why didn't he grab it?!
Xiao Wu lowered his head, took out three taels of silver from his sleeve, shook it in front of the man's eyes, and saw that the man's eyes were fixed on the silver in his hand, Xiao Wu quickly stuffed the silver into his sleeve: "As long as you send me safely to the east of the city, and then send me back, I will give you three taels of silver!" ”
"Okay." As he spoke, the groom got out of the carriage very attentively and lifted the sedan curtain for Xiao Wu.
The carriage was galloping all the way, and Xiao Wu didn't dare to relax for a moment, so he lifted the sedan curtain and looked outside.
At first, the road was still the same road, but the more the carriage went, the more Xiao Wu felt that it was wrong. Xiao Wu remembered that the place where he went with Qin Ruoyun last time was not as remote as it is now.
"Groom, where is this?" Xiao Wuhu asked suspiciously.
"Go to the east of the city." The groom replied, and whipped the horse's ass again, and the horse ran faster. Xiao Wu continued to look outside, only to see a street in front of him, with eye-catching red lanterns hanging at the door.
It's clearly a secret prostitution street!
This is the way to find the incense shop! When Xiao Wu saw it, he immediately became alert: "Your path is not right!" Where are you taking me?! ”
