The two of them glanced at each other and thought of something at the same time.

The next moment, Ye Yuanpei had already walked outside, and Zhuang Siyan was about to follow him out, but was stopped by Ling Tiancheng.

"Leave it to him here, you come with me."

"Your Majesty, there is just a little sign of ...... here, so what, why don't you go back first, and when I catch Anli, I must return to the capital as soon as possible."

Ling Tiancheng frowned: "I have already roughly coordinated the forces here, even if An Li wants to hide, he won't hide for too long, not to mention that now Ye Yuanpei has found his location."

Whether it's on that mountain, or on the island, Anritsu can't escape death, and you don't need to stay here anymore. ”

He couldn't help but break up and dragged Zhuang Siyan back, and his tone was cold: "Hurry up and pack up your salutes, and we can leave." ”

"Do you want to be in such a hurry? I still have something to do! Zhuang Siyan muttered.

But Ling Tiancheng didn't have anything else except to give her a little time to treat Qinglin, and before the city gate was closed, a group of several people had already left Jincheng and headed north.

It was near midnight that they came across a small village, where they spent the night and set out early the next day.

When he returned to Kyoto City, it was already full of prosperity, and Zhuang Siyan actually had a dream-like feeling.

The north side was born by farming, and the imperial city was also here, so all kinds of caravan officials gathered here, which also invisibly promoted the development of the economy.

So even if it is the life of ordinary people, it is not good, but on the surface, it is still prosperous.

The south side is different, all the sources of subsistence are by the sea, and these were previously controlled by Anli, so they are relatively poorer.

Jincheng is very prosperous, but compared with Kyoto, it is still far behind.

Especially since Zhuang Siyan went there, he didn't have time to go shopping and play in the city, and most of the time was spent on the dock and in the camp tent by the sea.

Because of the war, even fishermen are rare at the wharf, and it is even more desolate.

When I first came back here, I was really uncomfortable.

As soon as she and Ling Tiancheng entered the city, they sat in the carriage, and at this time looked at the situation outside, their eyes lit up: "It's better to be in the capital, there are people everywhere, and there is anything delicious."

I am in Jincheng, I eat salted fish every day, and I am about to become salted fish after eating it. ”

After speaking, he turned his head and asked Ling Tiancheng: "I'll go down for a walk, you take the car to the palace gate, I can arrive in a while." ”

As he spoke, the man jumped out of the car.

Ling Tiancheng stretched out his long arms and already encircled her in his arms: "Don't make trouble, go back to the palace first, there is still business to do, when it is done, I will accompany you out for a walk." ”

Zhuang Siyan lowered his head and rolled his eyes where he couldn't see.

Shopping with him, there is really nothing fun, where she wants to go, Ling Tiancheng will not let her go, except that this moat will spend money without hesitation, there is really nothing to be desired.

However, everyone is back, and there will naturally be a chance to come out in the future, so if you don't go, you won't go.

Ling Tiancheng went out this time, but he still went secretly, of course, relatively speaking, the secrecy work was not as good as last time, so most of the people in the palace knew about it.

But in order to show respect for the emperor, when they returned, there was no warm welcome.

Only a few concubines who usually looked more favored were waiting outside the Xuan Palace.

There was something serious to deal with, Ling Tiancheng didn't look at them much, he walked through the middle, and said coldly: "Let's all go back, I still have political affairs to deal with, and I will see you later." ”

An unwilling concubine hurriedly got up and took a step forward, but before the words could be spoken, they were blocked back by Li Fu: "Niangniang, the emperor has just returned, there is something to deal with, and you also need to rest, you can go back to the palace first and wait!" ”

Li Fu's words were the same as Ling Tiancheng's personal biography, no matter how unwilling the concubines were, they didn't dare to make a mistake, so they could only go back to their palace first.

Zhuang Siyan looked at the faces of those women and shook his head for a while.

This palace is really not a place for her to stay, just to compete for favor and make such a gesture, Zhuang Siyan can't do it.

People still have to know each other, and it is clear that Ling Tiancheng doesn't want to pay attention to them, but he still insists on going to the top, which can't play any other role except for making him hate it even more.

Fortunately, Zhuang Siyan had no hope for this matter from the beginning, and now he is not disappointed, at most he feels a little uncomfortable, but for the sake of money, forget it.

When she returned to the side hall, Lan Xin and Ping'er were startled, and the two were sitting together, playing with the ants on the ground.

When Zhuang Siyan entered, he didn't call them, and his body flashed around them.

Ping'er rubbed her eyes and said, "Did you go in alone just now?" ”

Lan Xin nodded: "I saw it too, it seems that there is still a man." ”

Two of you, look at me, I look at you, and suddenly straighten up, and run to the inner sanctum.

Then they all saw that Zhuang Siyan had already taken off his coat and was busy looking for a suitable set of clothes to wear in the cabinet.

"Mother, you're back."

Lan Xin knelt down with a "plop", with a cry in her voice, and tears were about to fall out.

Ping'er also looked at Zhuang Siyan directly, and forgot to react for a while.

Zhuang Siyan glanced at them and called Ping'er and said, "Hurry up and find a set of clothes for me, and I'll go out in a while." ”

"Still leaving?"

The two spoke in unison.

Zhuang Siyan nodded: "Go out with the emperor to do something, you can find me the kind of clothes that can represent my identity and will not be particularly ostentatious."

Oh yes, this hair has to be combed too, let's say okay first, don't wear so many things, Shen panicked. ”

Lan Xinhe was in a hurry, fetching water and getting a comb.

When she comes back, she wears men's makeup, but when she goes out, she looks like a concubine, and the makeup on her face must change, hair, clothes, shoes and socks, etc.

It's been an hour since this set of things was put together.

Ling Tiancheng had already packed up and waited for her in the main hall.

Zhuang Siyan took Lan Xinping'er and two other little eunuchs over, followed the example of the previous palace concubine, and whispered, "Your Majesty, you can go." ”

Her voice was originally good, but now it was deliberately pinched into a delicate appearance, so that Ling Tiancheng couldn't help but look at her twice, and his hand also took her hand.

At the gate of the palace, there was already the emperor's car waiting, Ling Tiancheng helped Zhuang Siyan to go up together, and watched him drive towards the heavenly prison immediately, before he spoke: "Wen Qing is already waiting for us there." ”

Zhuang Siyan raised his eyebrows.

She almost forgot that there was still Wen Qing in Beijing.

He said that he was Ling Tiancheng's brother, but in fact, he was similar to his shadow, one was in the palace and the other was outside the palace, all doing the same thing.

Zhuang Changyuan's escape this time was too smooth, and Zhuang Siyan felt that this Wen Qing must have something to say.

In the distance, I saw a person standing at the gate of the prison.

deliberately dressed up, if you don't look carefully, you can't recognize Wen Qing, just think he is an ordinary person.

Wearing a coarse cloth shirt, his hair is a little messy, and the makeup on his face is deliberately wrinkled on his forehead and the corners of his eyes, so he looks very old.

His gaze quickly swept over Zhuang Siyan happily, and then whispered to Ling Tiancheng, "Go in." ”

Wen Qing led the way, and Ling Tiancheng took Zhuang Siyan's hand and walked behind.

In ancient times, because there was no modern technology, and because of the fear that the prisoners would escape, most of the cells were built on the ground.

In this way, it is good to just guard the entrance and exit, anyway, there is dirt on all sides, and they can't get out like rats.

Enter the prison, walk a little way on the ground, and then the prison door.

From here down, all of them are stairs, and it's dark inside, even if it's a nod on the wall, but when you go inside, you still feel very cold, so cold that you panic.

Zhuang Siyan's hand was originally just pulled by Ling Tiancheng, but as soon as she entered here, she involuntarily grabbed the man's arm, and hugged it tighter and tighter.

Ling Tiancheng looked down at her and asked softly, "What's wrong?" Afraid? ”

Zhuang Siyan shook his head: "That's it...... It's a bit cold. ”

"Otherwise, you'll be waiting outside, and we'll be out soon." Ling Tiancheng had already paused, wanting to send Zhuang Siyan out.

But I saw the little woman shake her head and said, "It's okay, let's go." ”

At this time, Wen Qing had already taken a few more steps forward, widening the distance between the two of them.

The prison is full of repeat offenders, and naturally it is not like an ordinary cell, where many people live in one room.

There is only one room in it, and there is a separation in between, and when a person enters it, it is almost the same as a person being locked in a small dark room.

Except for seeing the cell boss deliver food every day, don't think about seeing anyone.

Zhuang Changyuan's cell was relatively close to the inside, and when they arrived, they saw that the lock was intact, and there were no obvious traces of the iron chain inside, and it could be judged at a glance that someone had taken the key here and let people out.

Ling Tiancheng asked Wen Qing: "The people in here are all under control. ”

Wen Qing: "Well, but it's useless, they were drugged, they don't know anything, they have all been tried." ”

"How is that possible? There are so many people in the prison, can they all be drugged? Zhuang Siyan replied immediately.

Wen Qing looked sideways at her and didn't answer.

Actually, he also thought it was incredible, but he did check all those people, and they all showed signs of poisoning, and they didn't lie.

"What poison? The person who poisoned them was quite merciful, and he didn't poison them all, but he was just poisoned? ”

Zhuang Siyan asked again, this time looking at Wen Qing.

Wen Qing's brows furrowed: "It's just an ordinary drug, the other party may be afraid of poisoning people at once and attracting the attention of others, right?" ”

"It's too far-fetched, the drug has stunned everyone, won't anyone pay attention?"

The two of them went back and forth, and the more they talked, the more they found that this problem was serious.

Wen Qing spoke: "The group of people who guarded the cell are also in the prison now, is the emperor going to try them?" ”

Ling Tiancheng looked at Zhuang Siyan and was about to speak, Zhuang Siyan had already taken it: "It's all small shrimp and crabs, don't go to the emperor, leave it to me, right?" ”

Both men looked at her, especially Wen Qing, who didn't have much confidence.

Among those people, he has examined and checked them all, and found no abnormalities, can Zhuang Siyan still enter their brains to see what is hidden inside?

And Zhuang Siyan's thoughts are completely opposite to him.

For such a big thing, all the people in the prison were unconscious, and there was only one reason, lying.

Whether everyone is lying, or some people are lying, or even Wen Qing is lying, in short, someone must be using lies to guide them down the wrong path.
