The three of them came to the backyard of the ruined temple, which was overgrown with weeds, and there was a dry well in the weeds.

"This is it, let's go to the entrance to the secret passage. The passage is connected to the library in the palace. The location of the library pavilion in the palace is relatively remote, and few people usually go there, so there are relatively few guards patrolling that area. ”

Xia Yunxi looked at Su Wan with some concern: "Wan'er, you must be careful. ”

In order not to worry Xia Yunxi, Su Wan pulled a smile at the corner of her mouth and patted her shoulder.

"This is not the first time I have entered the Xia Liang Palace, I am so alert. Naturally, nothing will happen. ”

Su Wan turned her head to look at Chu Mojing: "Fourth Prince, the Ninth Emperor will trouble you during this time." ”

Chu Mojing said calmly: "This is what I should have done. ”

Xia Yunxi was still not at ease, she took Su Wan's hand.

"Promise me, you'll be fine."

Su Wan smiled and said, "I promise, I'll be fine, I'll be back at dawn." ”

Chu Mojing said: "I will send someone to guard here, and I will never let anyone get close to here." ”

Su Wan smiled at him: "Okay!" ”

When the words fell, Su Wan jumped to the dry well.

The dry well is not too deep, and the bottom is more spacious than Su Wan imagined, and the passage can accommodate two people walking side by side.

The passage is very dark, and she can't see her fingers, what Su Wan is most afraid of is that it is dark, she always feels that something will run out.

Su Wan took out the fire fold and lit it.

With the faint light emitted by the fire fold, Su Wan raised her feet and walked forward.

Xia Yunxi looked at the dark wellhead.

The night breeze blew a few strands of hair from her sideburns, and she brushed those handfuls behind her ears and said slowly, "Let's go back!" ”

Chu Mojing didn't answer her, and looked at the mouth of the dry well with a pair of dark eyes.

Chu Mojing didn't seem to hear Xia Yunxi's words.

Xia Yunxi repeated what he had just said; "Let's go back first! It's no use waiting here. ”

Chu Mojing retracted his gaze and nodded.

Xia Yunxi opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end she still didn't say what she wanted to say.

Xia Yunxi lowered his eyes slightly and followed behind Chu Mojing.

The passage was very long, and Su Wan didn't know how long she had been walking, but she felt that her calves and stomach were a little sore.

Walking and walking, Su Wan found that there was no road ahead, she stopped, and then the faint light from the fire fold, Su Wan reached out and touched the wall.

Xia Yunxi said that there is a mechanism on the wall to open the door.

Su Wan felt a slight bulge on a brick, and Su Wan thought that this bulge should be the mechanism that opened the door.

Su Wan gently turned the bulge, and the "wall" in front of her slowly opened.

The moment the wall opened, Su Wan blew out the fire fold in her hand.

Coming out of the library pavilion, Su Wan walked towards the Taihe Palace where Concubine Shu lived.

Along the way, Su Wan encountered several teams of guards.

It can be seen that the guards in the palace have increased a lot.

A dark shadow passed through the trees, bringing a gust of wind, and the leaves swayed slightly, and for a moment they fell silent, and no one noticed.

Su Wan had been in the Xialiang Palace for a while, and she was familiar with this place.

The car came to the Taihe Palace where the concubine lived.

There were only two guards guarding the gate of Taihe Palace, Su Wan observed for a long time, and saw that there was no one else except these two guards, so she was relieved to detour to the other side.

Look at the palace wall that is three meters high.

The corners of Su Wan's lips were slightly hooked, this height was nothing.

She jumped up to the palace wall with a slight leap, and with a slight leap, she jumped off the palace wall and landed gently without making any sound.

There was no one in the courtyard of Taihe Palace, only the lights of the main hall were still on.

Su Wan entered the main hall unconsciously, she was afraid that in addition to Concubine Shu, there would be others, so she took her steps lightly.

But as soon as she walked behind the screen that was placed aside, a woman's soft voice sounded in the hall.

"Who dares to be so bold and dare to break into Taihe Palace at night."

Su Wan's body stiffened, she didn't expect her to be discovered so easily.

Now that she has been discovered, she doesn't need to hide anymore.

Su Wan slowly walked out from behind the screen.

There was a beautiful woman about thirty years old sitting on the main seat in the hall, and Su Wan thought that this should be the concubine.

Concubine Shu looked at Su Wan who came out from behind the screen.

Concubine Shu scolded sharply; "Who are you? How could you break into Taihe Palace at night? ”

Su Wan saluted Concubine Shu and smiled; "I am the Nine Emperor Princesses of Northern Chu, and the reason why I am here is because of Princess Xia Liang, Xia Yunxi asked me to come."

Concubine Shu's eyes narrowed slightly, looking Su Wan up and down; "You said Yunxi called you?"

Afraid that Concubine Shu would not believe it, Su Wan took out a hairpin.

"I think the lady should recognize this."

Concubine Shu glanced at the hairpin in Su Wan's hand.

The ruby hairpin in Su Wan's hand was given to Xia Yunxi by Concubine Shu, and this ruby hairpin is Xia Yunxi's favorite thing, so she usually carries this hairpin.

When she came, Xia Yunxi was afraid that Concubine Shu would not believe what Su Wan said, so she specially gave her this hairpin.

When Concubine Shu saw this hairpin, she would not doubt Su Wan's origin.

After confirming that the hairpin was Xia Yunxi's, Concubine Shu asked with some concern; "Yunxi...... Yunxi, is she okay? ”

"She's fine, she's in Jinling City right now. Concubine Shuniang, you should know that Northern Chu sent the four princes to come to Xia Liang to discuss the development of iron ore by Xia Liang and Northern Chu? ”

Although she was confined in her palace by King Ning, she still knew what was happening outside.

"This palace has heard about this, is it possible...... Be...... Yunxi asked Beichu for help? ”

Concubine Shu was a little shocked.

Concubine Shu couldn't imagine that Xia Yunxi, who was pampered and grew up in the palm of everyone's hands, went to Beichu alone for help.

Concubine Shu thought that she must have suffered a lot along the way.

Hearing that Xia Yunxi was fine, Concubine Shu also relaxed a little.

"Concubine Shuniang, you should know the current situation, now the palace has been completely controlled by King Ning, King Ning has controlled the palace, and you can ascend the throne and become the emperor now."

"He didn't move for a long time, according to our guess, the reason why King Ning didn't do it was because he wanted to sit on the throne justifiably, and King Ning wanted to sit on the throne justifiably, and there was an obstacle in front of it."

Su Wan's eyes were cold and looked at Concubine Shu; "Lady Niangniang, you should know what this obstacle is."

Concubine Shu's face changed, how could she not know why King Ning didn't hesitate to make a move, because the eldest prince and his son were the biggest obstacles on his way to becoming emperor.

The lady's voice was soft; "This Hongu knows."

Concubine Shu is very calm on the surface, but there are turbulent waves in her heart.

"You will appear here, there should be a way to deal with King Ning."

Su Wan nodded; "Our plan is very simple, that is, first contact the generals who are loyal to the emperor."

"No wonder you came to Hongu."

Lady Cis's eyes narrowed dangerously suddenly; "Aren't you afraid that this palace has joined forces with King Ning?"

Su Wan said very calmly; "I don't think that you will cooperate with King Ning."

"Haha......" Shufei smiled; If all this is a plan set up by me and King Ning, the purpose is to assist my son in ascending to the throne. ”

Su Wan stared at Concubine Shu for a moment, her eyes were cold; "If that's the case, Concubine Niang, you are really hiding deeply."

Concubine Shu couldn't help but shudder when she looked at Su Wan's cold eyes.

When the words fell, the coldness in Su Wan's eyes disappeared, and she suddenly smiled; "But Concubine Shu Niangniang will not be in the same league as King Ning."

Concubine Shu looked at Su Wan.

For some reason, for a moment, there was a trace of fear in her heart.

Concubine Shu stabilized her mind; "With you, I'm relieved."

Su Wan had long known that Concubine Shu was testing her when she said that just now, testing whether she had the ability to solve Xia Liang's crisis.

"I will contact my brother and ask him to contact the ministers who are loyal to the emperor in the court, and I will ask my brother to send letters to several generals at the border pass and ask them to secretly return to Jinling."

"I believe that Xia Liang will survive this catastrophe safely."

Concubine Shu sighed; "I hope so."

"This thing is for you." Concubine Shu took out a seal; "Print this seal on the envelope, and the letter with this seal can be sent to any place in Xia Liang through a special channel, and it will definitely not be checked."

Su Wan took the seal.

Su Wan knew that this seal was very important to Concubine Shu.

"Such an important thing, Concubine Shu handed it to me, I will use it well."

"Okay, it's not too early, you can go back quickly, and everything will be entrusted to you and the four princes."

Su Wan put the seal away and was about to turn around and leave.

Concubine Shu spoke slowly; "Trouble the Nine Emperor Princesses to tell Yunxi, let her rest assured, don't be impulsive."

Concubine Shu got up and walked in front of Su Wan, she took Su Wan's hand, her eyes were slightly red; "I have something I want to ask the Nine Emperor Princesses."

Concubine Shu didn't say it, and Su Wan also knew what she wanted to say; "Don't worry, one day, I will not hesitate to bring Yunxi back to Beichu."

Hearing Su Wan say this, the big stone in Concubine Shu's heart finally let go.

Although Xia Yunxi is not her biological daughter, she regards her as her biological daughter, even if she is the only one who lives in the end, she hopes that she can live well.

Coming out of Concubine Shu's Taihe Palace, Su Wan's mood was very heavy.

Xia Yunxi has a strong temperament, how can she tolerate being alone and surviving in this world.

Su Wan secretly swore that she would not let this happen.

As she passed by the Imperial Garden, Su Wan saw a team of patrolling guards walking towards her.

She hurriedly dodged and hid in the rockery on the side.

Su Wan lightened her breath and waited for the patrolling escort to pass.

Suddenly, a hand covered her mouth.

Su Wan trembled in fright, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

How can there be people here?

Su Wan's head was spinning fast, she didn't want to die here.

Su Wan struck the person behind her with her elbow.

was shot in the abdomen, and the person behind him let out a muffled grunt.

Su Wan took the opportunity to use all her strength to step on the feet of the people behind her.

Her strength was not small, and the person behind her painfully let go of the hand covering Su Wan's mouth.

Su Wan turned around and was about to give the man the final blow.

She saw a familiar face.
