The prefect of the county government is backing, Su Mulian and the three of them were locked in a stone room, with candles lit on the walls, there was a faint light, and the sound of dripping water could be heard, but now they could only keep their composure and find a way to escape.

Su Mulian meditated in place, trying to calm herself and not get angry, while Cheng Aoran and Lin Xuan observed the surrounding environment.

After a quarter of an hour, Cheng Aoran said: "This is actually a cave, you see that this wall is made of stones, maybe it will be a way to survive after moving away." ”

Hearing this, Su Mulian couldn't wait to stand up, walked between the two, and carefully studied the wall in front of her.

"This town is already in the mountains, and the mansion is also built against the mountain, so the people moved stones to make a wall for convenience, so that it can be used as a secret room or something." Lin Xuan nodded approvingly and analyzed.

Su Mulian was already afraid of the dark, she didn't want to stay here for a long time, and urged: "In this case, let's quickly move these stones away and escape!" ”

I saw Cheng Aoran and Lin Xuan looking at each other meaningfully, and of course Su Mulian saw this move in her eyes.

"Is there anything wrong?" Su Mulian asked in a low voice.

Lin Xuan nodded and explained in a low voice: "It's just past noon now, maybe He Yiping will come later, if we act rashly, we will definitely startle the snake, besides, these stones are too big, too long, and they can't be moved at all." ”

After Su Mulian heard this, she pursed her mouth in frustration and said dejectedly: "Why did Ping show us his cards, it is obviously Ning Changming's person, the Ning family originally wanted to put us to death, and now in this situation, if we don't escape, we will really die." ”

Of course, Cheng Aoran knew that she was afraid, clasped her hands, and comforted her in a low voice: "Princess, don't be afraid, I am here." ”

After Lin Xuan on the side saw it, a touch of sourness swelled in his heart, how much he hoped that the person who comforted her was himself.

As long as Cheng Aoran was by Su Mulian's side, he would be safe, breathed a sigh of relief, and nodded.

"If my guess is correct, He Yiping won't do anything to us for the time being, he should be like Ning Changming and follow his instructions." Su Mulian, who calmed down, thought about it carefully and said.

Lin Xuan and Cheng Aoran also nodded in agreement.

"We can't escape from this main gate, and the only hope at the moment is the mountain road blocked by stones." Lin Xuan reminded.

The three of them studied the wall carefully, and the bottom stone was sure that it could not be moved, so they started from the top stone, and finally decided to act in the middle of the night, after all, at that hour, even the gatekeeper was out of a sweet dream.

After agreeing, the next most important thing was to recuperate, Cheng Aoran and Lin Xuan sat side by side, leaning against the wall, while Su Mulian used Cheng Aoran's thighs as a pillow and fell asleep.

I don't know how long I slept, I saw Cheng Aoran and Lin Xuan open their eyes at the same time, and after they glanced at each other, Cheng Aoran pushed Su Mulian away.

Su Mulian, who was angry to get up, rubbed her sleepy eyes, pursed her mouth dissatisfiedly, and complained: "What are you doing?" ”

"Someone's coming." Cheng Aoran helped Su Mulian to stand up and reminded in a low voice.

This sentence made Su Mulian sleepy, and then there was a sound of unlocking, the door was opened, and I saw He Yiping, who was wearing expensive clothes, with his hands behind him.

The sky outside was already orange-red, apparently late afternoon.

"I wonder if the three distinguished guests are still comfortable living here?" The corners of He Yiping's mouth rose slightly, and he asked with a smile.

When Su Mulian saw him, she was full of anger, her hands in her sleeves were clenched into fists, and her eyes were glaring at her with angry eyes, but she forced back the anger that was about to explode.

The so-called knowledge of the times is a handsome, even if their status is noble, they can't fight this local snake.

"Xia Guan knows that the three of them haven't eaten at noon, so they must be very hungry, right?" He Yiping sneered and asked jokingly, "Xiaguan prepared a meal for the three of them. ”

After that, I saw three maids with trays walking in, and at He Yiping's signal, they put them on the ground, and then withdrew.

Su Mulian looked at the tray on the ground, which contained nothing more than porridge and pickles, and it was obvious that He Yiping was deliberately insulting them.

"Princess Zhaohua, please rest assured, these three dishes, Xia Guan has not released poison, so you can eat them with confidence." He Yiping said triumphantly, and he didn't forget to laugh wildly.

Su Mulian, who was so angry that she gritted her teeth, forcibly let herself hold back, she must hold back!

"Princess Zhaohua, General Zhenyuan, Leader Lin, you use it slowly!" He Yiping deliberately dragged out the tail note, then turned around and left, and did not forget to remind, "Add a few more locks to this official, and be sure to take care of the three of them." ”

Lin Xuan looked at the food on the ground with great disgust, and scolded angrily in a low voice: "How can this damn Yiping dare to eat this with the princess!" ”

Su Mulian could only comfort herself: "That's it, in our situation, he didn't give him a lot of food." After that, Su Mulian squatted on the ground, took off the silver hairpin on her bun, and then tested the poison one by one.

Although He Yiping said that it was not poisonous, how could he believe his words.

Su Mulian repeatedly made sure that the three meals were not poisoned, so she picked up the porridge and spoon and ate it without hesitation.

Lin Xuan was a little surprised by this scene, he didn't know much about Su Mulian's past, but now that she was a princess, she could still accept this bad chaff, which was admirable.

Su Mulian looked at the two of them standing still, looking at them curiously: "What are you doing with the pestle?" Are you not hungry? ”

Lin Xuan, who was relieved, stepped forward and picked up the bowl, since Princess Zhaohua didn't mind, then what right did he have to complain?

Cheng Aoran silently picked up the bowl and ate it.

Although the porridge is not full, it is better than not eating at all, and then all the candles in the cave were extinguished, leaving only one, and after a long few hours, it was hard to stay up until late at night, and after Lin Xuan was sure that the gatekeeper was asleep, he began to act.

Cheng Aoran and Lin Xuan climbed to the top through the stones, and worked hard to move the same piece, because at the top, it belongs to the sweeping project, and most people will be perfunctory, and it was no exception in ancient times.

After the two big men loosened the easiest stone, the other stones became a little easier.

"What's behind this stone?" Su Mulian asked softly.

"It's too dark to see!" Lin Xuan replied, carrying another stone.

But fortunately, only three stones were moved, and the man's figure could pass, Cheng Aoran went over first, then Su Mulian, and finally Lin Xuan.

After the three of them turned over, Su Mulian reminded in a low voice.

"Put the stone back in to stall for time."
