Chapter 20: Walk Up
%&*"; i^
Lin Yueyao is dead. Bai Rushuang locked herself in her room and secretly had fun for a whole day. For her. That's great news. She finally pulled out Lin Yueyao's thorn in the flesh. Removed the biggest obstacle to the back position. Now. She's pregnant again. She decided. Seek for your children's sake. To be the queen. Give your children a country. One world.
Next. What she has to deal with is Xiao Ziling. She knows. The Xiao family and the Lin family are each planning to make their daughter the queen. Now. Lin Yueyao is dead. And Xiao Ziling won Meng Hongyu's favor. So. Next. Her biggest rival is Xiao Ziling.
She knows that she doesn't have a prominent background and a strong backer. In this deep palace. If she wants to stand firm. Step by step towards success. You have to rely on yourself. Therefore. She already knows how to win people's hearts. has long been able to buy people with ease. The whole harem is praising Bai Zhaorong's virtues. She is said to be humble, soft-spoken, and smiling like a spring breeze. And Ouyang Ying, the "ice beauty", was of course criticized for nothing in private.
After Lin Yueyao's death. Xin Min was raised by Ouyang Ying. Xin Rou, Xin Ning and Xin Yu live together in the Thorn Tong Garden near Cining Palace. Taken care of by a dedicated nurse and custodian. Xinyang continued to stay in Cining Palace. Raised by the Queen Mother herself. Originally. The Queen Mother intends to cultivate Xinyang. But look at his qualifications are not high. and arrogant and stubborn. I'm afraid that if the country really comes into his hands. He will be ruined. Therefore. and extinguished the idea of cultivating him as a prince.
As white as frost. I was secretly happy because of Lin Yueyao's death. It is estimated that there is only Xiao Ziling.
yes. The day I heard the news of Lin Yueyao's death. Xiao Ziling secretly worshiped Su Zirong in the Xihua Hall. The paper burns. The ashes flew like butterflies. In the flames. Xiao Ziling cried with joy.
How could she not be happy? Lin Yueyao is dead. Su Zirong and her child's revenge were avenged. From now on. She has no hatred in her heart. No worries; From now on. She will never wake up in the middle of the night again because of the unavenged revenge. Shame on the sky; From now on. She can rest assured that she will wander the world.
She had decided to escape from the palace. Even if it's hiding in a small house and digging tunnels every night. She's also going to dig a way to freedom. This royal palace. There's nothing left to be nostalgic about. And the man...... Forget it. She had vowed never to love him again.
She's going to escape from the palace. Go and find a paradise without wind and rain. to pursue a complete freedom and dignity. Go live the life you want to live. Night rain in rivers and lakes. Singing about wine. Otherwise. If you really die trapped in this palace for the rest of your life. Wouldn't she have worked hard to travel into this wonderful world in vain?
This evening. Xiao Ziling solemnly called the jade slave over. Tell her what is in your heart. After all. In this harem. Yunu is the only person she can trust. Only Jade Nu can help her.
"Jade slave. Is there a way you can help me get out of the palace?" Xiao Ziling asked bluntly.
Out of the palace. Listened to Zi Ling's words. Yunu was obviously taken aback. Hurriedly shook his head and said, "Miss. Don't say that. Don't say it's an escape from the palace. Even if it's going back to Xiao Mansion to save relatives. They all have to be approved by the emperor."
Zi Ling was silent. Don't. Is there really no way. Though. She already knew she was a caged canary. Unable to escape. But. She still had a glimmer of hope that it would be extinguished: "What if I die. If I die. Isn't it okay to go out of the palace?" Xiao Ziling suddenly said faintly.
Yunu was taken aback again. I'm afraid that Xiao Ziling will do something stupid. So he hurriedly persuaded her: "Miss. Don't think about it." The jade slave was afraid that she would really do something stupid. So I want to stabilize her first. Then he said casually: "This matter. . . Let me go and discuss it with Brother Zhan. Okay?"
"Brother Zhan. Will he have a way?" Listen to what Yunu said. A glimmer of light suddenly shone into Zi Ling's heart. The light dispelled the darkness in her heart. It seems that she sees hope perhaps. Brother Zhan really has a way
"This ...... The slave and the maid don't know. But. Brother Zhan is well-informed. There's always a way." Just coaxing her. Why did she take it seriously? The jade slave had to secretly complain in his heart.
"Then why don't you go and help me find Brother Zhan." Zi Ling hurriedly urged the jade slave.
"Miss...... You see it's so late...... I'll go back to him someday." Yunu dodged. Ay. And she took it seriously. There's really nothing she can do about it.
"It doesn't have to be tomorrow. Here's the lowly position." Suddenly a deep voice came from outside the door. And then. A tall and handsome figure pushed the door in. As soon as I saw the exhibition battle. Yunu couldn't help but be startled: in the past, he was just secretly hiding in the dark and watching her young lady. How can he be so bold today. I dared to enter the house. If it is really discovered. Then her young lady really jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't wash it.
"Brother Zhan. You go out first......" The jade slave hurriedly stepped forward in two or three steps. I want to push the exhibition out of the door. How can I show my burly body. I have practiced martial arts again. Stand still as if you have taken root. The jade slave couldn't push him at all.
Yes. In the past. Zhan Zhan only dared to look at Xiao Ziling from a distance. Thinking about her silently. Secretly thinking of her. But nowadays. He couldn't take it anymore. He watched the women in Meng Hongyu's harem being killed one by one. One by one, the fragrance disappeared. How he was afraid of one day. His spirit sister will die like this.
Therefore. This time to come. Zhan Zhan is always faintly uneasy in his heart. Inexplicably manic. He couldn't wait to get Xiao Ziling out of the palace immediately. Keep her away from intrigue and harm. Just now. He heard a conversation between Xiao Ziling and Yu Nu outside the window. Knowing that Zi Ling also wanted to leave the palace. Zhan Zhan couldn't hold back the ecstasy in his heart. I don't care about etiquette. Hurried up the hallway. Pushed the door in.
"Brother Zhan came just in time." Zi Ling clapped his hands and smiled. Full of joy. She is a woman who has lived in the twenty-first century. At this time. She has long forgotten the strict rule that "men and women do not kiss". I don't know if it's in this palace. If her and Zhan Zhan's blatant "private meeting" is discovered. That's going to be a head-off.
Zhan Zhan is fearless. And Xiao Ziling is ignorant. Only the jade slave was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. Secretly worried about them.
"I've seen my mother." Zhan Zhan still does not forget the gift of the master and servant. Lean over and say hello to Zi Ling.
"Brother Zhan is quick to say. You can help me get out of the palace." Zi Ling looked at Zhan Zhan expectantly. This moment. She's become a fun-loving little sister again. Eagerly waiting for Zhan Zhan to give her an answer.
"As long as the mother has the heart to leave the palace. There's always a way. Willing to go to the soup for the mother. At all costs." Zhan Zhan swore a promise. Little by little, the joy in my heart spreads. She's willing to get out of here. As long as she herself intends to leave here. So. Everything is much easier.
"Brother Zhan. This matter has to be discussed in the long run......" Yu Nu stood aside and stomped his feet in a hurry. Hurry up and look at Zhanzhan secretly." This thing. You'll have to discuss it with the Prime Minister."
"Nope." When it comes to discussing with Prime Minister Xiao Cheng. Xiao Ziling strongly objected." I've made up my mind. Now you must escape from the palace. Daddy will definitely object to it. After all. This is no small matter. If discovered. That's going to hurt your family. But. I have a way to ......."
"What a way." Zhan Zhan and Yu Nu asked in unison.
"I know. I want to leave this palace. There is only one ...... death," Zi Ling's mouth showed a vague smile. There's a little cunning, a little confidence in that smile.
Die...... Yu Nu was worried. Zhan Zhan is also incomprehensible...... Xiao Ziling doesn't really want to die.
"Anyway. Brother Zhan. You'll help me. Yes." Zi Ling stared at Zhan Zhan's eyes. Asked earnestly.
"Humble duty must be done with all your heart." Zhan Zhan nodded in promise.
". The slave maid has something to report...... "Zi Ling has not yet had time to inform Zhan Zhan of the plan in her heart. Outside the door, there was a panicked voice. In fact. Shinoru really happened to have something to report. So he went to the study to look for the child's spirit. I walked out the door. I heard a man's voice in the study.
I didn't see the emperor come to the Xihuatang. So. How could there be a man's voice in Yukado? Xiaoru was puzzled. So he secretly hid outside the door and listened for a long time. Thereupon. She then overheard the conversation between Zi Ling and Zhan Zhan. As soon as I heard Zi Ling say that he wanted to escape from the palace. Xiaoru was terrified.
To know. If Xiao Ziling really escaped from the palace. So. She, the personal palace maid, will not escape the blame. Then it will be certain death. Therefore. She instinctively wanted to stop it. He hurriedly opened his mouth to report.
As soon as I heard Xiaoru's voice. Zhan Zhan quickly jumped out of the window. Disappear into the endless night in an instant. Looking at him, he can almost be called a "ghostly" good skill. Zi Ling was relieved to have such a master to help. Presumably, it will be much easier for me to get out of the palace.
"Come in." Zi Ling said.
Shinoru pushes the door in. Sneaking a glance at the room out of the corner of his eye. But I didn't find the posture of Zhan Zhan. Yunu also noticed Xiaoru's inquiring eyes. I know that Shinoru has already noticed something. hurriedly put on a smile and asked, "Sister Xiaoru has something to report to Niangniang?"
Xiaoru quickly withdrew his searching eyes. Zhengyan said: "The slave maid just went to close the courtyard door. I found someone hiding under the acacia flowers outside our yard door. Very suspicious. That's why I came to report it to my mother."
"It's so dark. Sister Xiaoru is afraid that she hasn't seen it clearly." Yu Nu was worried: Could it be. What Xiaoru sees is an exhibition battle. After all. Zhan Zhan often "wanders" around Yukado.
"No. Looks like the slave saw him last night. Seem...... It's a little eunuch who is quite a face......" Xiaoru said as she pondered.
Little eunuch. That's not an exhibition. Yunu put his mind at ease. Then he asked, "Where did the little eunuch come from?"
"Maybe it's the little eunuch who sprinkled and swept nearby." Zi Ling said. I don't really care about it. After all. There are many "little eunuchs with faces" in this palace. It's just that it happened to be seen by Xiaoru. What's all the fuss about.
