"Is it really the hand of the second prince? Could it be that he found out that Zhao Ling and I knew what he did, so he ...... Zhao Ling" Li Zhu'er said and shuddered, "What should I do?" Will Zhao Ling be okay? Do you want to tell the emperor? ”

"It's useless to look for my father, don't tell anyone else about this matter yet. You will stay in the Yonghe Palace for the next few days, and don't go anywhere, I will send someone to guard you. Bai Heng said quietly.

"That'...... What about you? ”

"I'll go find Zhao Ling."

"Good...... That...... You...... You two, you all have to come back well......" Li Zhu'er's eyes were red, and her voice trembled a little.

"Don't be afraid." Bai Heng touched her head, "It's not a life and death, it's going to be fine." ”

Li Zhu'er nodded vigorously, buried her face in Bai Heng's chest, and spoke in an urn-like voice: "Well, I believe you...... You must bring Zhao Ling back. ”

"Hmm." Bai Heng took Li Zhu'er in his arms and stroked her thin back.

After appeasing Li Zhu'er, Bai Heng sent someone to send her back to the dormitory, and there was a message to Gonggong Zhang, who was in charge.

Father-in-law Zhang is over fifty years old, and he has been in charge of Yonghe Palace since Bai Heng's mother was alive, taking care of their mother and son.

"Hey! Your Highness, what is the matter with the old slave? Father-in-law Zhang bowed his waist a little and came to Bai Heng with a smile.

"Grandpa Zhang, Princess Tongguang and Shen Fengjiu are missing, I want to ask you to help me find Shen Gongzi and bring him to see me."

"Oh? Who is the plan, can Your Highness know in your heart? Grandpa Zhang asked with squinted eyes.

"It's the second prince."

"The old slave understands." Grandpa Zhang nodded.

"Father-in-law Zhang, originally since the death of my mother, I have decided to escape from the world, I know that you no longer want to participate in the disputes in this palace, and I want you to retire in peace in Yonghe Palace. But now that someone is pressing, I can't retreat anymore. ”

"Your Highness doesn't need to say any more. Niangniang entrusted His Royal Highness to the old slave, but the old slave did not take good care of him, so that His Royal Highness was in danger twice, which was really a dereliction of duty. Although we don't want to fight with others, we are not afraid of things. That person has deceived people too much, and the old slave should help His Highness. ”

"Thank you...... Father-in-law Zhang. ”

"This is a torment for the old slave. This old life was left behind to wait for His Highness to send him. Father-in-law Zhang made a gesture.

Bai Heng nodded: "You go." ”

"The old slave retired." Gonggong Zhang bowed his body and quietly withdrew from the hall.

Father-in-law Zhang went all night.

In the early morning of the second day, Gonggong Zhang took Shen Fengjiu to meet Bai Heng.

Father-in-law Zhang looked tired, and Shen Fengjiu was fine, but his face was very ugly.

"The old slave and the ghost shadow beside the second prince have been fighting for half a night, and they are really old, and their legs and feet are rusty." Grandpa Zhang sighed.

"Thank you for your hard work, Grandpa Zhang. Shen Gongzi, are you hurt? Bai Heng asked eagerly.

Shen Fengjiu shook his head: "He can't hurt me, but his methods are extremely despicable and trap me." There was a hint of vague anger when he spoke.

Bai Heng nodded, and asked again: "Princess Tongguang is gone, do you know?" ”

"Yes."

"I know that Bai Xi has a secret room in the Kangning Palace."

As soon as Bai Heng said this, before his words fell, Shen Fengjiu immediately said, "Go quickly." ”

"Seeing that the sky is already bright, you can't trespass on the realm of the second prince openly." Grandpa Zhang was a little embarrassed.

"Where? I'll go. Shen Fengjiu said decisively.

"I don't know the exact location." Bai Heng said.

"I'll look for it." Shen Fengjiu said.

"Your Highness......" Gonggong Zhang also wanted to dissuade him.

Bai Heng pondered for a moment and said, "Father-in-law Zhang, you have considered it well. But Shen Gongzi has now escaped, and Bai Yu will definitely get the news, and it is very likely that Zhao Ling will be transferred immediately, or it will be unfavorable to her. We must get her out as soon as possible. ”

"This ...... Alas, does Your Highness have a plan? Father-in-law Zhang had no choice but to sigh and acquiesce in Bai Heng's decision.

"Go deep to save people, I think Shen Gongzi is enough for one person, we need to do a good job. The best skill next to Bai Xi is that black shadow, with Shen Gongzi's skills, he should only need a pillar of incense. ”

"Hmph, just for a moment." Shen Fengjiu was still angry.

"Okay." Bai Heng nodded, "Let's do it in half an hour, I will trap Bai Heng and delay it as long as possible." ”

"Go now." Shen Fengjiu said in an unquestioning tone.

"It will take half an hour for the end of the early dynasty, and I need to ask my father to summon Bai Xi in order to isolate him from the bottom. He was on his guard against me, and I was the only one who couldn't hold him back. Bai Heng explained.

"We have solved all the people guarding Shen Gongzi, and the second prince should not find out so quickly." Father-in-law Zhang persuaded on the side.

Shen Fengjiu didn't speak for the time being, as if he was thinking, looking a little anxious.

"Shen Gongzi, when you rescue Zhaoling, bring her to Yonghe Palace first, and I will send someone to settle her." Bai Heng said.

Unexpectedly, Shen Fengjiu said, "I'll take her away." ”

"Let's go?" Bai Heng asked in surprise, "Where to go?" ”

"Leave Anping."

Bai Heng was dumbfounded and speechless for a while.

"I'm here to take her away." Shen Fengjiu said.

"That's really ...... Your Highness? Father-in-law Zhang stopped talking and looked at Bai Heng inquiringly.

Bai Heng thought silently for a while.

"To take Zhao Ling out of the palace in broad daylight, even you are too risky. Bring her first, and I'll arrange it for you. ”

Shen Fengjiu thought about it briefly and agreed, "Okay." ”

Grandpa Zhang sighed, shook his head, and said no more.

--

I don't know how long it took, Lu Zhaoling woke up weakly from the nightmare.

The pain made her want to moan, but she still had a ball of cloth in her mouth and could only make a "whine" sound.

She was still hanging in the dungeon, and if she was hallucinating or not, she began to hear the sound of dripping water.

I'm sure I can ...... Get out...... I must ...... Get out of here......

Lu Zhaoling's consciousness was vague, but there was strong pain and unwillingness in his heart.

She felt thirsty and swallowed hard, her lips tearing and aching.

In a trance, she felt someone come in, remove the cloth that had gagged her mouth, and feed her water with a bamboo tube.

Instinct made her drink greedily for a while, and after rehydration, she began to gradually sober up a little.

Standing in front of her was still Bai Xi, who made her angry and a little frightened.

"What a pitiful little one." Bai Xi smiled and pinched Lu Zhaoling's chin, his fingers running across Lu Zhaoling's chapped lips.

Lu Zhaoling suddenly bit Bai Xi's finger fiercely.

"Tsk."

Bai Xi was in pain, and immediately pinched Lu Zhaoling's cheeks with his other hand, forcing her to open her mouth, and then slapped Lu Zhaoling in the face.

Lu Zhaoling had a bloody breath in his mouth and laughed coldly.

"I will never ...... At your mercy......" Lu Zhaoling said weakly, "I want to ...... Tame me...... You dream. ”

Bai Xi looked at the finger that was bitten by Lu Zhaoling with deep blood marks, and gradually laughed.

"Zhaoling, you will never let me down."
