"No, the slave didn't think so, and the lord didn't command it." The palace maid kept her head down: "In the past two years, the slave maid has also understood that the emperor who dislikes the queen in the palace is fake, and the emperor does not like the queen, but does not like others." It's just that at that time, the emperor had not yet secured his seat, and had to act for the women of the harem, and by the way, for those in the previous dynasty. But now, he is a veritable and upright emperor, and he no longer needs to hide anything. Perhaps, he will get tired of the queen in the future, but you can't wait for that time. In the inner garden of the deep palace, even if Niangniang is now a concubine, what can she do, she has no heirs, and she is resting on the clouds after all. The slave and maid do all this for the sake of you. It doesn't matter what the slave thinks, the slave doesn't matter, even if at this time, the mother kills the slave and the maid, and the slave still has these words. The slave never thought of killing the mother. ”

"Even if you haven't thought about it, your master has thought about it."

"Slaves and maids do not dare to speculate on the Lord's will." The maid lowered her head.

"You are faithful."

"Slaves and maids are equally faithful to their mothers."

"You go down, anyway, we are grasshoppers on a rope, we can't run away from me, and we can't lose you. It's okay to be loyal, but when you're alone, you also have to think about whether the Lord in your mouth is worth your life for her. Of course, I'm not advising you, life is your own, if you don't cherish it, I will help you cherish it. Yan Muyun waved her hand impatiently, and the palace maid pursed her lower lip, got up and went out.

The inner garden of the deep palace, even if the wind blows, is the kind that cannot be seen. Yan Muyun walked to the bronze mirror, looked at herself in the mirror, and sighed softly: "Mother, is my daughter wrong?" The daughter was wrong from the beginning. ”

If what she liked back then was not Gu Yanqing, but an ordinary son of a family in Yecheng, maybe she would have lived a peaceful life of husband and son now. If she had calmly accepted the reality back then, instead of feeling that Yan Su should not be a head taller than herself, would her mother not have died. If she hadn't been bewitched by that person back then and hadn't entered the palace, at least she would still be free now.

She reached out and touched herself in the bronze mirror, and sighed again: "Mother, don't worry, I will definitely let myself live, and I will definitely not die in this palace." Mother, don't worry, I won't be angry with my sister anymore, I will find a way to take her out with me. This palace is not a nest of wealth, but a cannibal mound. ”

The wind passed silently, and nothing was left in the bronze mirror.

The night is getting deeper.

Yan Suwen put the child to sleep and handed it to Er Rong, and asked her to take the child to the mother and nurse to take care of. It's not that Yan Su asked if she didn't want to stay up late, but her mother and mother-in-law gave an order to let her rest as much as possible at night, and after the second watch, the child would be handed over to the nurse.

If there were no such bad things now, the nurse would live with Yan Suwen, but right now, it's a mess, no one knows when something will happen, and even the nurse who invited her into the house is not at ease. Old Mrs. Yan, Yan Baiqing and Du Ruo all lived in Mrs. Gu's yard, and they also placed the nurse and the child over there. Yan Weilin and Shen Jiu lived in a small courtyard separated by a wall from Yan Suwen, so as not to take care of any situation.

After Errong took the child out, Yan Suwen sent Youbai to sleep. She lay on the bed, tossing and turning, thinking about Gu Changfeng's affairs. It's not that I'm worried about whether he will be charged with rebellion, but I'm worried about whether he will suffer in prison and whether he will be punished. She has never been to the prison, but she has been to the prison of the Criminal Department more than once. That dark prison is not a place where normal people can stay. In a trance, she seemed to see a bearded Gu Changfeng, who was tortured to the point of being inhuman, her heart suddenly hurt, she sat up, and just heard the sound of the window paper being punctured.

Through the moonlight, she saw a dark shadow outside the window, followed by a faint scent. Quickly covered her nose with her hands, then took out the short blade that Gu Changfeng had given her before from under the pillow, got up quickly, and after camouflaging the quilt on the bed a little, she hid it on the side of the bed.

After a long time, the black shadow turned over through the window and entered, with a clear goal, and went straight to the bed. He originally wanted to take the person away with the quilt, but when he leaned over to pick up the quilt, he noticed that something was wrong, and before he had time to think about it, his neck was cold, and the short blade was lying there.

"Don't move!"

The warning was obviously useless, and the shadow not only moved, but also didn't take her into account yet, trying to subdue her in one move.

"Since you are the one lurking in my Gu family's house, you should know that your wife and I are not a lady who doesn't know anything." A faint light streaked through the darkness, followed by the smell of blood. When Yan Suwen fought with him, he accurately stabbed him into his acupoint with the tip of a short-bladed knife.

"Does it hurt? If it hurts, tell me, who is your master? What is the purpose of him letting you take me captive? I was very strange before, even if the city was disrupted, my Gu Mansion was also guarded by secret guards, how could those thieves pass through the defenses and kidnap the old lady from the mansion. Therefore, there must be a very deeply hidden spy in this house, and there must be a secret passage that we don't know. ”

"Don't say? Is it that you don't want to say it, or that you can't say it? Yan Suwen held the hilt of the knife and stabbed it a little deeper. At this time, her voice was delicate and soft, and hell lingered, and if you didn't know it, you would think that the hostess was whispering something to the man. But as a party, the heart of the man in black was full of fear at this time. Of course, he knew who Yan Su was, and he had heard of her past methods. Just hearing it, it doesn't mean that he really understands, but at this time, he really saw the cold light flashing in her eyes, and knew that this was not a noble lady who was afraid of killing, but a female demon who was even more terrible than a killer.

"It seems that the threat I gave you was not enough." Yan Suwen quickly pulled the short blade out of his acupoint, the target quickly and accurately attacked his arm, and before the black shadow could react, she first grabbed his right hand, quickly broke his tendon, followed by her left hand: "How?" This time, do you feel pain? I don't dare to say that the best doctors in the world are all in the Gu Mansion at this time, but at least the best doctors in Dawei are here, if you don't want to die, and you don't want to become a waste for the rest of your life, it's best to tell everything you know. As long as you say it, I will save you and promise to heal you exactly the same as before. If you don't say it, I'll put Gu on you, let the little worms crawl into these wounds of yours, and gnaw and bite in your body every day, so that you can't survive or die. Biting your tongue? I cut your tongue to see if you still bite. ”

"Please give me a good time, I can't even say it if I die." The dark shadow said through gritted teeth.

"It's not that you don't say it, but you can't say it, it seems that you are not willing to die for your master." Yan Suwen took a step back and played with the short blade in his hand.

"It's true that the subordinates are not willing." The black shadow lowered his head: "They arrested their subordinates' families, all their families, and threatened the lives of their subordinates' families." Their parents, brothers and sisters, as well as their families and children have all been taken away by them, and if they don't do what they tell them, they will ......"

"I understand that you really have no choice when you meet such a shameless person. Then you can at least tell me where you're taking me, right? ”

"Outside the house."

"By what means? Where is the underground tunnel? Yan Su asked tightly: "Say, it's not that I'm tricking you into talking, but as long as I don't go to that place, they will know that your mission has failed." There is only one result of a failed mission, and that is death. If everyone is dead, will your family still be useful? Family members who have no use value, what do you think those despicable villains will do? ”

"No, they promised me that as long as I do what they tell me, they will spare my family."

"They promised? Do you think they're the kind of people who keep their word? It's a shame that you're still the one raised by our Gu Mansion, it's too true, it's so naïve. I tell you, only if you live, your family can live. You have no choice but to work with me to get this rat out of the deepest part of the ground. ”

"No, it's impossible, ma'am, you can't fight them. There are many of them, they are very powerful, and they are elusive. ”

"I haven't fought yet, so I'm still admitting it? If you don't fight, how do you know you can't fight. Well, even if you can't fight, you have at least fought it, and if you fail, you blame yourself for not being strong enough. Now, I didn't admit it at the beginning, and I just confessed to death, did you go in your heart? You're a son, a younger brother, a member of your family, you haven't done anything, you're just waiting to be killed, are you still a man? ”

"Madame, I-"

"Tell me, where is the secret passage, how did you hide from the Gu family's secret guards and smuggle people out?"

The black shadow pointed to the courtyard, "Stone tables, there are stone tables in all courtyards. ”

"When did you dig it?"

"I don't know, but my subordinates have seen those secret passages, it should have been a long time ago. This Prime Minister's Mansion, when it was in the previous dynasty, was already the Prime Minister's Mansion. Xiangye just moved in, and then made simple repairs to the house and this yard. Whether it is Xiangye or the previous Master Gu, they are not extravagant people, and many things in this courtyard have remained the same. The subordinates guessed that this secret path had existed for a long time, but that person knew it, but Xiangye himself didn't know. Oh, some places in the secret tunnel are rebuilt, but the secret tunnel is still some distance from the ground, and if it is a secret excavation, Xiangye should not know about it. ”

"The former Prime Minister's Mansion?" Yan Suwen pondered these four words.

"Oh, it's still the princess's mansion, before Xiangye moved in, this courtyard used to be the princess's mansion, and it was the place where Princess Hehui and the concubine stayed together."
