Chapter 1: The Soul Pierces the Ancients

Next Chapter

Mai Jiu thought he was dreaming, so he closed his eyes and fell asleep again. When she opened her hazy eyes again, she was completely stunned.

But she remembered that it was a dream.

She closed her eyes and opened them again, what was not a dream! She lay on the bed and looked at the carved wooden roof beams, where was this? After a moment's pause, he sat up abruptly.

Obviously I was typing code at home, why did I come here when I opened my eyes?

The boss said that if he couldn't complete this task, he would be disqualified from promotion, and Mai Jiu fought hard in order to have more salary, drinking coffee like drinking water these days, and eating three meals a day was takeout.

Late that night, she ordered a spicy hot soup, and as soon as she ate a mouthful, she was swept over, and fell asleep on the table, and came here as soon as she woke up.

Mai Jiu looked around vigilantly, wanting to cry without tears, where is this?

She pulled her clothes off her body, what was this? Skirts? A strand of hair slipped from the ear, hair? When did my hair grow so long.

It must be spicy and poisonous, and I ate flies last time, but this... It's not an illusion.

She knocked on the wall to find the door, but it didn't. Lying on the ground again, banging on the ground, maybe the exit was on the ground, but there was still none.

Is this being brought to play the drama version of the escape room?

Mai Jiu suddenly thought that a few days ago, the little sister said that there was a super exciting escape room nearby, so it couldn't be that she slept too hard and was smuggled here.

What about walkie-talkies, cameras? There was only a table, a stool, and a bed, and nothing else.

"There's not even a clue, how can people play?" She kicked the stool away from the stool next to her.

Mai Jiu jumped up and down and looked for the camera unrelentingly, and maybe he could find other clues to get out.

At that moment, the window above the room opened, and a man probed and said, "It's time for lunch."

Mai Jiu was startled, the man tied the rope to the rice basket and gently put it down, Mai Jiu saw this and quickly ran to the window and looked up at the man.

This must be the NPC that provides the clue.

The man looked at the man who had been staring at him, "Take the food down, there's no one here to call you"

Mai Jiu looked at the man's disgusted expression with a question mark on his face. Are all the current NPCs involved in the drama like this?

Mai Jiu was so anxious that she had been waiting for the man to tell her a clue.

"It's a waste of time if you don't take the food off yet"

Mai Jiu looked at the contents of the basket, a blackened steamed bun, and a bowl of smelly vegetables.

She covered her nose, "Haven't you put this prop for a long time?"

The man snorted impatiently and said, "Otherwise, you still think of yourself as a princess, and some of them eat well."

Princess? It turned out to be a costume plot.

The man's face was full of disdain, and he laughed contemptuously, "The prince told the slave to let you stay in it well, and I can't talk to you more."

Mai Jiu waved his hand helplessly, "Big brother, big brother, talk about the key clues!" "For a long time, Mai Jiu didn't get a clue about the secret room.

The man glanced at him: "It's not like you're wasting saliva!" Don't eat and pull down" After speaking, he spat at Mai Jiu.

Mai Jiu felt that there was a spit on her face, she turned her head, the hand in her sleeve was tightly clenched, and the anger in her heart couldn't help but rise outward, but the man closed the window by himself.

Is this the case with all the current staff? I want to complain!

She shouted her little sister's name to the window, "Yang xx, you bastard, you must be hiding somewhere to steal the fun now"

No one responded

Mai Jiu savored the words of the man just now, but there was really nothing, she looked at the furnishings in the room, and didn't know what to think.

Table? Stool? Will it climb out and be the next level?

This thought appeared in Mai Jiu's head, and she immediately took action, pushing the solid wood table under the window with great force, and placing the stool on top of it.

It's better to try it first than to stay like this.

She rubbed her palms together, climbed onto the table and climbed onto the stool, reaching for the window, but it was still some distance. She stood on her tiptoes and stretched her fingers straight, still a little bit, and a jump should be enough.

"Bang" The stool fell, and her waist slammed into the corner of the table, and her head fell down.

"Hiss" Mai Jiu gasped, his back hurt. She reached out again and touched her head, and sure enough, she picked up a big bag.

She lay on the ground and didn't want to get up, so helpless that she wanted to cry.

"Yang xx, you **, when I go out, I'll throw all your cosmetics into the river" Mai Jiu pointed to the roof girder and scolded.

A girl's voice came from outside the window of the "master", "I brought you a fresh steamed bun"

Mai Jiu stood up with her body propped up, and she felt that this NPC outside must be the one who provided clues. Endured the pain and stood on the stool again, so that she could speak closer, and now she wanted to curse very much.

"Is your shop sick, is it for normal people?"

The people outside heard the sound and hurriedly opened the window, and a man in ancient costume poked his head out.

Mai Jiu was angry, and stretched out his hand to the girl's nose, "Open the door of your secret room, and then find your store manager, I must ask for an explanation today" After speaking, he put down his hand and touched his sore waist, after all, it must hurt when he hit the corner of the table.

The girl looked puzzled: "Master? What do you say? ”

Mai Jiu put one hand on his waist, and his voice raised a lot, "I said, give it to me, open the door, I want to go to your store manager and complain!" ”

The girl stretched out her hand to Mai Jiu in a daze, "Master, I'll pull you up"

Mai Jiu was angry, and his other hand was also on his waist: "Don't tell me that the exit of this broken house is this small window?" ”

The girl nodded.

Mai Jiu took a deep breath to suppress her anger, she knew that it was not good to lose her temper at a little girl, so she should go out and find the store manager to theorize.

She reached out and grabbed the girl's arm, then kicked the wall upwards to borrow strength, and finally climbed up with great effort. But what catches my eye is a broken yard overgrown with weeds.

Mai Jiuleng, escape the escape room to the wilderness? What is it? Escape from Earth?

Where is this escape room, it was not from the beginning.

Zhihua looked at Mai Jiu, whose hair was messy and her clothes were dirty, and she said weakly, "Master"

Mai Jiu turned her head to look at the people around her, "Master, what master, it's time for you to play" Her tone was a little stern, and her eyes were also a little vicious, and now she was confused and angry.

Zhihua was so frightened that tears flowed down after brushing it, "Master, master, what's wrong with you?" Don't scare me. The slave maid brought you steamed buns," Zhihua was about to cry and took out a paper bag from his sleeve.

She knew that her master was suffering in the Forget Worry Building, and tears rolled in her eyes. At dinner, she hid the steamed buns in her sleeves, thinking that the master must have eaten leftovers in the Forget Worry Building, so she ran out while no one had a gap.

"Where is this?" Mai Jiu knocked off the steamed bun in the girl's hand, kicked the weeds next to him again, and hit her hands a few times.

Zhihua was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, afraid that his master would be angry and punish himself.

Mai Jiu was puzzled, what is the situation? Why do you have to kneel on the ground? She tried to pull the girl up, but Shiba sat on her knees with all her strength and refused to get up. Mai Jiu gave up after dragging it a few times, willing to kneel.

"It's not a little sister, you tell me where this is"

Zhihua raised her teary eyes but lowered them again, she was afraid, afraid that her master would punish her.

"Master... This is the Forgotten Building."

Forget the worry building, it should be a building when you hear the name, but this is an underground building, and the door is the small window that just climbed up.

Mai Jiu was in a trance and realized that everything didn't seem to be quite right, she pressed the back of her head, her head hurt, probably the one she had just fallen to the ground.

"What dynasty is it now?" She actually doesn't believe in crossing, isn't that the author's reading material written in the novel for everyone's entertainment.

Zhihua didn't know what his master was doing when he asked this, so he could only answer truthfully, "It is the Da'an Dynasty now, and the peace period is seventy-two years."

Mai Jiu fell backwards when he heard this "he", and Zhihua quickly got up and caught Mai Jiu when he saw this.

On the way to the inner courtyard, Mai Jiu already knew that the original owner of this body was the princess of King Jin's mansion, and she was not favored by the prince, and the concubine wanted to sit in the position of her own main room, so she framed the original owner and poisoned her, and was demoted to a concubine and imprisoned in the Forget Worry Building.

My back hurts, and I can't walk because of the pain.

The person next to him noticed the abnormality, "Master, what's wrong with you?" Zhihua stepped forward worriedly, "Don't scare the slave. ”

"Don't... Don't call me master," Mai Jiu was very unaccustomed to this title.

Zhihua grinned, as if he was about to cry again: "Master... I don't call you master, what do you call you?"

Mai Jiu couldn't accept all this, and she hugged her head with pain on her face.

"Master, what's wrong with you, the slave maid will take you to the Imperial Doctor" Zhi Hua stepped forward worriedly and grabbed Mai Jiu's arm.

Mai Jiu broke free and grabbed his hand, "Don't touch me"

Everything around her is strange now, and she can't accept and doesn't want to accept this fact, obviously she just fell asleep on the table.

Zhihua looked stunned, and hurriedly knelt down, "Master... The slave knows that it is wrong, it is the slave who did not protect you well, and let that slut frame you"

Mai Jiu flipped through the memories in her mind, but she only had memories of herself before she was alive.

She still couldn't accept it and began to pace from side to side.

Zhihua looked at the people walking back and forth in front of her, and wanted to speak but held back, she felt that the master must be angry now.

Mai Jiu had been struggling for a long time, and she wondered if she had died suddenly due to overwork, after all, she had been typing code for two days and two nights in order to catch up with the schedule.

She stopped and suddenly remembered the TV series and novels she had watched, and it was quite interesting to think about it.

Forget it, since you have come, you will be safe, since you don't have the memory of the original owner, pretend to be amnesia.

She pulled Zhihua up, and she couldn't let the little girl kneel all the time.

Zhihua is a little uneasy, the current master is too strange.

Mai Jiu touched his head, "I fell off the stool, my head hurts, I can't remember who I am." ”

Zhi Hua opened his mouth in surprise and walked behind Mai Jiu and pulled off her hair, and then there was a big bag on the back of his head, and Zhi Hua was nervous, "Master, slave maid, I'll take you to the imperial doctor!" After speaking, he took Mai Jiu's hand and wanted to walk forward.

Mai Jiu leaned back, his feet were forced, and he didn't want to move forward, "Don't, I'm fine"

What's the use of going to see the imperial doctor, I don't have this memory in my mind.

Zhihua let go of Mai Jiu's hand, "But... Master"

Mai Jiu shook his head: "Can you tell me about the original thing?" Maybe then I'll be able to remember."

"It's... Master, you are the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, called Gu Ziyuan, your mother and the Queen Mother are world friends, so you and the prince are married, after the death of the old lady, you married into the palace, the prince is aimed at you everywhere, the queen mother always protects you from bullying you, but... If it weren't for that slut who took advantage of the Queen Mother's retreat in the courtyard to chant Buddha this time, how could you have suffered such grievances?"

"Slut? Who is it? Listening to Zhihua's slut screaming, Mai Jiu was really curious.

"Master, do you really not remember?"

Mai Jiu smiled and shook his head, "I don't remember"

"That slut is the prince a year ago to bring back a game called Yun Ran, the prince disregarded the royal face to bring an artist to the palace to set up a concubine, I don't know what she has to seduce people, the prince goes to her yard every day, and especially protects her, knowing that you are framed by her... Also"

"OK, OK" Mai Jiu gestured to OK, she was very excited when she heard this, this is much more fun than the script killing, and she is about to start the 13th battle.

She scratched her itchy scalp and looked at the dusty skirt again, "Can you take a shower and change clothes before you go to see the Queen Mother." ”

Shiba hesitated for a moment, "But... Okay, slave maid, I'll take you back to Yi'an Courtyard to freshen up," Zhihua also thinks it's better to go to see the Queen Mother, and it's better to pack up properly.

Mai Jiu took a shower and changed into a light green skirt, put on a white veil on the outside, combed a garden sideburns, and put on two white cloud hairpins.

She looked at the face in the bronze mirror, this face looked exactly like herself, is this the past and present life? She reached out and touched the face in the mirror, this was obviously her appearance when she was seventeen or eighteen, her skin was fair, her lips were cherry red without applying anything, a pair of dimples were evenly distributed on her cheeks, and she smiled lightly The dimples were a little more cute.

Sure enough, youth is good.

Zhihua looked at Mai Jiu, who was motionless with his hand on the mirror, "Master? Master? You'd better hurry up and find the queen mother, if the prince knows... The prince knows that you are out, and he will arrest you back."

Mai Jiu sighed, "Alas, let's go"

Back mountain path

Mai Jiu stopped the fast Zhihua, and the person in front of him stopped and turned around, "What's wrong?" Master, you say"

"We... When will it be there?" It has been almost twenty minutes since I left Yi'an Hospital, and Mai Jiu is tired.

"It's almost in front of the master, and if you pass through the garden less than half a pillar of incense, you can get there, but... I'm afraid that you will be seen by other minions, and if you go to sue the prince, you will go back to forget the building again."

Mai Jiu twitched the corner of her mouth, "You are really clever" She didn't know if this little maid was really smart or stupid, if the prince wanted to know, he would have known it a long time ago, it was better to go through the garden faster.

South Courtyard Mercy Garden

An old lady pushed the door in, and the queen mother of the main seat in the house was wearing a dark purple Feiduan palace robe, embroidered with large peony flowers on the robe, and the thin gold thread outlined a delicate outline, graceful and luxurious, wearing a pair of white jade upside-down bead cones on the earlobe, and the head was full of fine phoenixes, and the Buddha beads were held in slow motion in her hands.

Mama walked to the Queen Mother's ear and said something, and the movement in the Queen Mother's hand suddenly stopped, "Why are you still stunned, hurry up and let her in"

Mai Jiu, who was standing at the door, could only enter the courtyard with the permission of the Queen Mother in the house.

Mama Ji pushed open the courtyard door and said, "Princess, please go inside."

Mai Jiu followed Mama Ji to the house, and she looked at the Queen Mother on the main seat, more gentle than she imagined. She carefully learned the way to salute on the TV series, "See the Queen Mother"

"Get Up"

The Queen Mother looked at Mai Jiu, who had clean makeup and clothes, "How did you come out, Huai'er was released?" ”

"If you go back to the Queen Mother, I ran out by myself"

"Ziyuan, you ran out on your own! The mourning family also just heard that Sang Huai'an, the son of a sinner, spoils that wild girl too much, and she is simply lawless. When the mourning home does not exist? "The Queen Mother took the case

Mama Ji next to her reminded: "Queen Mother, don't be angry, be careful of being angry."

Mai Jiu also hurriedly opened his mouth to show his goodwill, "Queen Mother, don't be angry, don't be angry, it's my fault that I can't get the favor of the prince, I am willing to be punished, now I don't want to ask for anything, I just want to live my life peacefully in this deep mansion" She also pretended to be pitiful.

The queen mother's eyes were full of distress, "Ziyuan, the mourning family watched you grow up, how could you let you suffer such grievances, the mourning family will seek justice for you"
