Xia's meals on this day were several times more than usual, not only did the staple food change from a small bowl to a pot, but there was also an extra roast chicken and a few meat dishes.

The girl wondered how Xia had filled the food of these four or five people into her not plump belly. Xia tried his best to ignore the suspicious gaze of the girl's mother-in-law, holding his stomach and waving his hand to send them out.

Westinghouse, where Chen Sheng and Blue are hiding, are waiting.

It's finally getting dark. When the lights in the courtyards of the palace were extinguished one after another, and when the night finally quieted down, a dark shadow passed through the garden not far from Qingfeng Garden, alarming the patrolling guards.

The guards around Qingfeng Yuan waited to keep an eye on the door of their house, and only breathed a sigh of relief when the guards chased them in another direction.

After Xiao Wenxuan finished meditating, he changed his soaked clothes, washed his hands and face, and sat on the Taishi chair to read the travelogue written by Su Muling according to his suggestions.

The two of them were locked up in this hut, and their lives became simpler, and the time seemed to increase. In addition to three meals a day, there is a lot of time left, Xiao Wenxuan suggested that Su Muling can write out his experience of going to Donggu Island in the form of a travelogue and bind it into a book.

Su Muling accepted his suggestion and began to write a book.

As soon as I stopped writing that night, I heard a noise of people outside, and after a while, it fell silent again. Suddenly, Xiao Wenxuan put down the manuscript in his hand, jumped up from the chair, and blocked Su Muling with an arrow step.

At the same time, the back window of the house was opened, and a bulging object came in.

Su Muling's reaction was half a beat slower, and he trembled and grabbed Xiao Wenxuan's arm and looked at the window, but he was so shocked that he almost dropped his jaw. I saw Chen Sheng drill out a head and was gesturing at them.

"You?"

Su Muling hurriedly walked to the door, put his ear on the door and listened carefully to the movement outside. Xiao Wenxuan saw that it was Chen Sheng, and his fist was loosened.

"I've seen the king of Ningjun and the princess of the county." Chen Sheng knelt down on one knee and saluted them.

"Get up, how did you get in? Did you make the noise outside? Xiao Wenxuan pointed out the door and asked in a low voice.

As a first-class master, it is embarrassing enough to make such a big move and make people chase everywhere.

"Hehe, it was Blue who was attracting the attention of the guards just now, covering me in." Chen Sheng scratched his head a little embarrassed.

"Blue? That fool ......" Su Muling suddenly stopped his mouth and glanced at Xiao Wenxuan.

Chen Sheng understood, and hurriedly said: "Blue is strong in martial arts, those people can't catch him." Lord Wang, my subordinates heard that you were trapped and came to rescue you out, so put on your clothes and follow me......"

"Chen Sheng." Xiao Wenxuan raised his hand and pressed his words. "We can't leave right now, but I have something for you......"

Chen Sheng stepped forward and handed his ear to Xiao Wenxuan.

After a while, a dark shadow silently drew out from Qingfeng Garden.

That night, it was reported from Qingfeng Yuan that Su Muling was frightened and had a fever.

In the early morning of the next day, Nangong Yi was accompanied by Xu Zhen and entered Qingfeng Garden again.

Su Muling was lying on the bed, her cheeks flushed.

"What happened last night? Noisy. Xiao Wenxuan shrank in the Taishi chair and asked Xu Zhen.

Xu Zhenyi arched his hand and replied: "It's okay, it should be the Mao/thief of that day, I don't know where to hide, I came out again last night." ”

Nangong Yi loosened his hand to control the pulse, and a pill slipped and fell into Su Muling's palm, Su Muling's heart beat faster and he hurriedly clenched it, retracted his hand under the pillow, and his eyes aimed at the handkerchief next to the pillow.

Nangong Yi stood up, his arms raised lightly, and his wide sleeves brushed over Su Muling's face. Su Muling was stunned, and then looked at the pillow, and the handkerchief was gone.

"Mr. Wu, how is Ling'er? Does it matter? Xiao Wenxuan saw Nangong Yi get up and crossed over to Xu Zhen to ask.

"Don't worry, the princess of the county is frightened and causes fever, and she will be fine if she takes two medicines. However, the princess's complexion is not very good, so you should pay attention to resting more. ”

"Ling'er is fine."

Xiao Wenxuan stood up from the chair, ignoring that Xu Zhen and Nangong Yi were still in front of him, and directly climbed on/bed and lay down beside Su Muling, stretched out his hand, and hugged her in his arms.

Su Muling closed her eyes, and her cheeks turned even redder.

Xu Zhen and Nangong Yi were stunned, this county prince is really temperamental, and outsiders are still there, so they hugged each other like this.

Seeing that the two of them were stunned and didn't move, Xiao Wenxuan was reluctant, and glared at them with a calm face: "Don't hurry up and grab the medicine." ”

Xu Zhen hurriedly closed his gaze and went out with Nangong Yi.

Seeing that the person was gone, Su Muling took Xiao Wenxuan off his body, fished out the towel that had been soaked for a long time from the copper basin, twisted it slightly, and spread it on his face.

Just now, in order to get by, she roasted by the charcoal stove for a long time, and her whole face was almost baked.

Xiao Wenxuan was disgusted, leaned on the head of the bed, and smiled at Su Muling's own "fever".

"Why are you missing one earring?" Xiao Wenxuan suddenly asked.

Su Muling was stunned and reached out to touch it. No, I don't know when the left earring fell off.

"Hurry up and help me find it." As he spoke, he didn't care about his hot face, so he threw down his towel and looked around.

This pair of earrings was left by Xiao Wenxuan's mother. When Xiao Wenxuan gave it to her, she was reluctant to wear it and treasured it. This time when she came to Qizhou, she found it and put it on her body.

It is not a trivial matter that the things left by the mother concubine are lost, and Xiao Wenxuan is no longer lying on the bed. Seeing Su Muling looking at the desk, he got out of bed and shook all the bedding on the bed by himself, no.

Where will it fall? Su Muling searched all over the desk, but there were no bookshelves or baths.

"Will it roll under the bed?"

Su Muling reminded Xiao Wenxuan in one sentence. He hung the golden bell upside down from the bed, swept it under the bed, and suddenly stretched out his hand to Su Muling: "Give me the night pearl." ”

"Found out?" Su Muling hurriedly handed the night pearl in his purse to him.

"Like, I'll go in and get it."

Xiao Wenxuan took the night pearl and turned over/got out of bed and got directly under the bed, in the corner of the wall, the missing earrings were really lying there quietly.

Xiao Wenxuan picked it up and held it in his hand, turned around and just wanted to climb out, but the floor suddenly sank, Xiao Wenxuan hurriedly grabbed the ground on both sides of his body, hung in the air, and looked down carefully: a hanging ladder leading to the ground appeared in front of him.

"Did you find it? Youan? Su Muling saw that he didn't move for a long time, and asked uneasily.

Xiao Wenxuan stretched out his head, beckoned her to the front, put the earrings into her palm, glanced at the door mysteriously and whispered to her in a very low voice: "I didn't know where I moved just now, and a secret passage appeared under the bed." I'll go and see, you wait for me! After saying that, he retracted again.

Xiao Wenxuan's words made Su Muling suddenly come to his senses. Having a secret passage means that there is hope to get out of here, but you don't know where this secret passage leads.

She got up and patted the dirt on her body, and put down the curtain on the bed, in case someone came and Xiao Wenxuan hadn't come back yet, she could pretend that Xiao Wenxuan was sleeping on the bed to confuse.

A quarter of an hour passed, and Xiao Wenxuan did not come back. Su Muling walked back and forth on the ground like an ant on a hot pot. Two quarters of an hour passed, and it was still as quiet as usual under the bed. Su Muling began to be a little worried, this secret passage didn't know where it leads, it can't be found and caught, right?

Just as she was hesitating whether to go down and take a look, there was a sound from under the bed, and Xiao Wenxuan crawled out of the bed covered in dust. Seeing that he was safe and sound, Su Muling's heart, which had been beating wildly, calmed down a little.

"How? Where does it lead? Su Muling asked while patting the ashes on his body.

Xiao Wenxuan's eyes flashed with joy, and a hand reached into her waist to pull her closer. Looking at her big eyes full of expectation, the corners of her mouth hooked.

"To an uninhabited mansion outside the palace."

"So, we can get out?" Su Muling happily wrapped her arms around his neck and hung on him.

"Yes, but not right now."

Xiao Wenxuan kissed her slightly open mouth, took her off, walked to the basin, and washed her face.

"Why?" Su Muling didn't understand and came over to ask.

"King Ping has not left the palace yet, which means that the time for rebellion has not yet come, if we escape, in order to prevent me from leaking his intentions to the emperor, he will definitely act in advance, so we have to wait."

Xiao Wenxuan threw the towel into the basin and walked to the Taishi chair under the window and sat down, his eyes fluttering, as if he was thinking about something.

"Wait? What are you waiting for? Su Muling didn't understand.

"Wait until the emperor is ready, and wait until King Ping leaves."

"Your Majesty is preparing? You told the emperor that King Ping was going to rebel? Su Muling's heart was beating wildly.

Xiao Wenxuan's eyes dimmed. When he left the capital, he handed over to Fang Ping the evidence of King Ping's rebellion that he had collected for more than a year. Tell him that if he doesn't bring a letter back when he arrives in Qizhou, let him present these evidence to the emperor, so that the emperor can prepare early. If he has a letter back, let Fang Ping burn the evidence.

It's a pity that King Ping didn't give him a chance to burn the evidence.

"I have been away from Beijing for two months, and there is no news, and the emperor should have known about King Ping's actions."

"Do you think the emperor will win?" Su Muling didn't ask how the emperor knew, raised his legs and squeezed Xiao Wenxuan on a prince's chair and asked quietly.

"Yes."

Xiao Wenxuan leaned back to make Su Muling more comfortable.

"Who lived in this house before?" The one who has a secret passage in the house must be a big man.

"I heard that this palace was the palace of a vassal king of the previous dynasty. Later, because of his rebellion, he was beheaded by the whole house. After King Ping arrived here, because of the small population of his family, this courtyard has not been opened. When I was three years old, my mother asked for the yard to be cleaned up and I moved from my old home. Later, it became my yard. ”

"So there is a secret passage in this house, which even your father doesn't know?"

"I don't know." If he knew, King Ping wouldn't have locked him up here with a brain.

"It seems that God has eyes to bless us, Yoo'an, I think we have to be ready to leave at any time now."

More than a month has passed since the rebellion of King Ping in the previous generation, and Di Guopuluo's mistake has changed King Ping's plan, but she knows that King Ping has been planning for so long, and he will not give up.

"Okay."

It was late at night, Su Muling couldn't stay up anymore and fell into a deep sleep.

Xiao Wenxuan stared out of the window sleeplessly. He struggled to remember when he moved into the house.

At that time, he was still young, because his mother insisted on feeding herself, so he had been living in the same courtyard with the princess.

Until he was three years old, Princess Ping let him move into Qingfeng Yuan on the grounds that he wanted to be independent. His unbearable background is a thorn in the flesh in the eyes of King Ping, Princess Ping did not dare to touch him in the world, but as soon as Princess Ping died, King Ping immediately attacked him.

Could it be that the concubine knew that there was a secret passage here, and she expected that King Ping would not allow him, so she insisted on letting him move in here?

Thinking of this, Xiao Wenxuan's eyes filled with tears. Princess Ping can be said to have exhausted her mind because of her background. Instead of giving the child to the nurse like others, she fed it herself, and she thought about what happened, so she painstakingly chose a room with a secret passage for him.

It's a pity that Princess Ping died early at that time, and Xiao Wenxuan didn't find the hidden vitality under the bed. If it weren't for the emperor who installed people in the Pingwang Mansion, Xiao Wenxuan was afraid that he would not be alive now.
