In the Temple of Heavenly Blessing, the lights are bright.

Xia Chengyou sat cross-legged on the huge dragon bed wearing only his middle coat.

Sleeping has been a luxury for him for as long as he can remember.

Even when I fall asleep, I sit cross-legged.

It's been twelve nights in the Temple of Heavenly Blessing.

Xia Chengyou has lived in Wuwang Mountain since he was a child, and he is followed by either eunuchs or Taoist priests, and after entering the palace, the people who serve in Tianyou Hall are all the original people. Father-in-law An is even more inseparable, and his life is still the same as before.

"Father-in-law!" Xia Chengyou, who was meditating, suddenly raised his chest and felt depressed, "I suddenly remembered that the imperial grandmother said that there is a secret passage in the Tianyou Hall that can lead to the outside of the palace, do you know the secret passage?" I want to see it. ”

"This ......," Father-in-law An hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The old slave doesn't know." But even if there is, it's been more than ten years, and it's likely that the Sima Dog Thief has sealed the secret passage, or rebuilt the secret passage. It's late at night, Your Majesty might as well rest early, and ask Niang Niang to see it tomorrow. ”

"Good!" Xia Chengyou closed his eyes again,

Silence in the palace.

The dragon and golden phoenix in the secret passage moved forward with difficulty.

She couldn't remember the time.

These days, he barely survived with the few bottles of wine and a few boxes of frozen snacks that were buried with Sima Yu. Now, the snacks are gone, and the wine is gone. If she didn't go out again, she was afraid that she would starve to death just by starving.

The passage is so narrow that it allows only one person to pass through.

The queen's bedroom to the Tianyou Hall is to walk on it, and it will take a little half a day.

This secret passage should not be short.

At first, there was still light in the secret passage, and the further you went, the less light there became.

Long Jinfeng walked with difficulty, and he didn't know how long he walked, when he suddenly heard a gentle knock on the wall on one side.

She has been gone for a long time, and she must be about to arrive at the Heavenly Blessing Palace.

Remembering that the Empress Dowager Long said that there was a secret passage to the outside of the palace in the Tianyou Palace, Long Jinfeng suddenly came to her senses, she pulled out the phoenix hairpin on her head and knocked on the wall with a sound.

The knocking on the opposite side stopped.

Long Jinfeng hurriedly stopped.

Hold your breath.

After a long time, there was another knocking sound.

Long Jinfeng hurriedly knocked it with the phoenix hairpin again.

This time, instead of stopping, the sound was hitting harder.

The voices seemed to be getting denser and denser.

Long Jinfeng didn't move, and waited all the time.

She always believes that there is no endless way, even in such a desperate situation, she still believes that she can still live.

She leaned against the wall and listened to the sound getting closer and clearer. Someone must have come to her rescue.

From time to time, she tapped the wall with a phoenix hairpin to tell the other party that she was here.

The wait is long, but it is also full of hope.

Gradually, the voice grew clearer, and she could hear it clearly, it was the sound of a wall chiseling.

Looking for the sound, Long Jinfeng held the phoenix hairpin tightly and chiseled it open one by one.

There is an earthen wall in the secret passage, although the soil is dry and hard, and it is laborious to chisel, but if it is hard to chisel down, she can still chisel some off, even if it is some dust, chisel through the wall, and she can go out.

Just chiseled one by one, the more the dragon and the golden phoenix chiseled, the more energetic they became.

I don't know how long it took to chisel, but when she chiseled hard at the wall again, the wall pierced all at once.

There is light on the other side!

Long Jinfeng's heart suddenly lit up.

A faint light shone through the holes.

"Is it you?"

There was a sound on the other side.

This voice, Long Jinfeng is very familiar with, it is the dark guard of the Empress Dowager Long.

"It's me!" Long Jinfeng opened his mouth only to find that his voice was hoarse like air-dried dry wood, "I...... It's the dragon and the golden phoenix. ”

"What about the Queen Mother? Are you okay? Duanmu Buping stepped up his speed again, "I have opened up the two secret passages, and we can get out of the palace......"

Soon large holes appeared in the walls.

In the dust, a clay sculpture-like head appeared in the sight of Long Jinfeng.

Ignoring the dust on her hands, she reached out and covered her mouth.

She knew she would survive.

Before dawn, Xia Chengyou came to the Empress Dowager Xia's room to say goodbye.

Looking at Xia Chengyou, who was wearing the court clothes of the Great Xia Emperor, walking towards her, the Empress Dowager Xia was full of smiles: "It's twenty-eight today, and it should have been a long time ago to rest according to the court practice, and this morning, let them all go home to rest." On the fifteenth day of the first month, he will come back to the court. ”

"It's too late!" Xia Chengyou smiled, "It's okay on the fifth day of junior high school." At the end of the month, there is still a sacrifice, besides, the year name, the deployment of officials, and so on have not yet been decided, and the grandson does not dare to slack off. ”

"Good!" Empress Dowager Xia nodded, "Go ahead!" Grandmother is here, and grandmother has something important to discuss with you. ”

Watching Xia Chengyou salute and leave, Empress Dowager Xia asked Mo Li to gather all the eunuchs in the palace.

"Remove all the flowers and trees in Fengxiang Palace!" Don't forget to say to a kind of eunuch, "The Empress Dowager needs to build a pool over there, at least three people deep, all of you go and dig it." Try to dig well before sunset. It's a bounty! ”

Don't forget to point to the gold ingots in the big box on the side, "It's dug up, one ingot of gold per person." This gold can be sent back to your family. ”

Fengxiang Palace's three-person deep pit is not a small project, but fortunately, there are many of them. One shovel per person, it should be done before sunset. They were also rough eunuchs, and some of them had strength.

Seeing that the eunuchs ran to move flowers and trees and dig the ground one after another, Empress Dowager Xia breathed a long sigh of relief.

Even if she digs the ground, she also has to find the aunt and nephew.

Xia Chengyou dispersed early, and saw the Empress Dowager Xia sitting in the pavilion of the imperial garden, watching a group of eunuchs working hard to turn over the soil.

The palace roads around Fengxiang Hall are full of dirt.

"What is the Imperial Grandmother going to do?" Xia Chengyou has already changed out of his court clothes and is wearing a bright red regular robe, with a smiling face, which is even more gorgeous than the plum in the garden.

"Dig a pool!" Empress Dowager Xia said with a smile, "I think back then, your mother also set fire to the dormitory when she escaped death, and now this demon woman is also concocted in the same way, and my grandmother thinks that there should be more water features in this palace." ”

"Grandmother is worried that they will run away." Xia Chengyou sat opposite the Empress Dowager Xia obediently, "Even if they are destined to leave the palace, they will not be able to get out of Ying Tiancheng." The grandson had already passed the decree, and when he saw a suspicious person, he immediately reported it to the official. The Sima dog thief and the Long family are dead, and no one will protect them. ”

Empress Dowager Xia bowed slightly.

"Grandmother." Xia Chengyou leaned forward, "Didn't you say that there is a secret passage in the palace?" But have you sent someone to see it? ”

Empress Dowager Xia sighed slightly: "Naturally, I have seen it, but my mouth has been sealed." It looks like it's been sealed for a long time, and it hasn't been touched. ”

"Will there be a new secret passage?" Xia Chengyou's eyes shone brightly, "That Sima dog thief, if you are a thief, you will definitely dig a lot of secret passages......."

Before Xia Chengyou could say anything, he saw a eunuch running over in a hurry.

"The Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, has discovered a secret passage...... There's also an ice house! ”
