"Auntie, the courtyard where she lives is about to be hollowed out, and she is not in her own yard!" Ming Ye quickly said his plan, "Time is not for others!" Only by immediately sending more people to find her as quickly as possible can we ensure her life! ”

He said and looked at the Empress Dowager Xiaoduan with a serious face, "Grandmother, it is related to the inheritance of the Ming family, you have to think carefully and consider!" ”

The four words "inheritance of heirs" instantly raised the matter of saving Wei Qingqing to a new level, and Ming Ye almost didn't say anything like "Wei Qingqing is related to the survival of their Ming family......

Empress Dowager Xiaoduan couldn't resist Ming Ye, but in the end she still made a big fight for him, and under the pretext that Wei Qingqing was still treating her, she asked her to bring a message to Emperor Wu, asking him to send all the forbidden troops to find Wei Qingqing.

Emperor Wu has always served his mother to filial piety, and naturally did not hesitate to fight for his mother's illness, and soon dispatched the forbidden army to search for Wei Qingqing's traces in the entire Qingyi Garden.

Ming Ye got the letter and no longer pestered the Empress Dowager Xiaoduan, and plunged into the search army again.

Just when Ming Ye tried all kinds of ways to find Wei Qingqing, Wei Qingqing, who was buried under the ruins of Nanyuan, became weaker and weaker.

She was weak, hungry, tired and thirsty, "...... water"

Her unconscious moaning made Zhao Lingxi feel distressed!

Not to mention that he is trapped at the moment and cannot move freely, even if he can move freely to rummage through this pitch-black ruins, this abandoned palace has been uninhabited for a long time, and there is no water at all!

At this time, a hoarse female voice suddenly sounded, "I, there is water." ”

This hoarse female voice exploded in the ears of Wei Qingqing and Zhao Lingxi like thunder on the ground, and they were very shocked - there was actually a third person in this small space!

The slightly familiar voice made Wei Qingqing sober up instantly, and asked tentatively: "Is it you?" Is it the girl in red who asked me to come here? ”

"It's me." The woman in red generously admitted and told Wei Qingqing her name, "You can call me Hongluan." ”

Zhao Lingxi had a gloomy face, frowned and looked in the direction where Hongluan's voice came, and his eyes hidden in the darkness had a hint of murderous aura - this woman named Hongluan is good at the method of breathing!

She was hiding beside them, but she never made a sound, like a poisonous snake that lurked in the shadows and would burst out and bite them at any moment!

Hongluan is indeed not dead and has been dormant on her side, and she also deliberately used the method of breathing to hide her wheezing.

She has not made a sound for the past two days, quietly hiding in the dark, using her ears to catch Wei Qingqing and Zhao Lingxi's words and deeds, first making sure that Zhao Lingxi really can't move, and then patiently waiting until Wei Qingqing is exhausted and extremely weak, before she speaks out to show her existence.

Wei Qingqing vaguely remembered that Hongluan seemed to be carrying a food box to meet her before, and when she was chasing her, she also ran with the food box all the way, and the food box was still in her hand when she was in distress!

The water Hongluan said was probably wine or fruit stuffed in a food box!

Wei Qingqing was really thirsty, and couldn't help but ask Hongluan: "Hongluan, you said you had water before?" ”

"Yes, I was on an errand in the dining room, and when I came to see you, I happened to be carrying a food box, which contained not only fruit brew but also a few plates of pastries." Hongluan replied briskly, his voice was light and fast, and his tone was a little less polite and more flamboyant than when he talked to Wei Qingqing before.

Wei Qingqing was overjoyed when she heard this, and just wanted to ask for a few things, she heard Zhao Lingxi speak up one step ahead of her and asked Hongluan, "Say, what conditions do you need before you are willing to give us the pastries and fruit brew?" ”

"Commander Zhao is really transparent, it's easy to talk to a smart person like you," Hongluan's laughter came from the darkness, and her mood seemed to be really happy, "Since Commander Zhao is so refreshing, then I should also be more cheerful - Zhao Lingxi, if you cut off a finger and throw it over, I will throw you a piece of pastry." ”

"Fingers?" Wei Qingqing snorted in surprise when she heard this, and subconsciously shouted: "So ruthless? Do you have a grudge against him? ”

"Miss Wei, you guessed it, I really have a grudge against him!" Hongluan's voice suddenly became gloomy, and there was a strong hatred in just one sentence!

Wei Qingqing just said casually, who would have thought that Hongluan really had a grudge against Zhao Lingxi!

Now that the enemy is very red when they meet, it seems that she doesn't want to get the food in Hongluan's hands......

At this time, Zhao Lingxi opened his mouth calmly and asked, "Jinyiwei killed your whole family?" Or kill your husband? ”

"It wasn't Jinyiwei who did it! It's you! Hongluan, who was hidden in the dark, gritted his teeth with hatred for Zhao Lingxi, and the voice accusing him of his crime was sad and sad, like a cuckoo crying blood, "Zhao Lingxi, do you remember the old gentleman who was cut off ten fingers by you?" ”

Zhao Lingxi said indifferently: "There are more people who have been cut off by me, how do I know which one you are talking about." ”

"Good, good, good! Very good! Zhao Lingxi, you are crazy and arrogant! Today, I finally see what it means to lose your conscience and kill people like hemp! Hongluan was stimulated by Zhao Lingxi's indifferent tone, and his voice rose in vain, instantly becoming sharp and harsh, "But how arrogant you are?" Don't you have to wag your tail at me today? ”

"Hahahaha......" Hongluan said and suddenly burst out laughing, the laughter dispersed in all directions in the ruins, and it shook that some small stones rolled down above his head, "Zhao Lingxi, I know you're not afraid of death, but you are reluctant to let her die!" ”

Zhao Lingxi was too lazy to fight with Hongluan, and simply agreed to her conditions: "Don't talk nonsense, one finger for a piece of pastry, can you change it?" ”

Hongluan gritted his teeth and replied, "Change!" One finger for a piece of pastry! ”

Zhao Lingxi pulled out the dagger inserted in his boot neatly, and without hesitation, he cut off an index finger and threw it to Hongluan, "Give your finger and give her the pastry." ”

Hongluan vaguely heard something fall on her side and rolled a few times, she groped in the darkness for a while, and sure enough, she touched a bloody severed finger.

Hongluan touched a palm-sized stone from his side, smashing the severed finger into a bloody blur.

When she broke her fingers, she didn't forget to sarcastically mock Zhao Lingxi, "Commander Zhao is really bold!" ”

Zhao Lingxi was silent, but casually used a dagger to cut a strip of cloth from the hem of his clothes, tightly wrapping around the wound that was still dripping blood.

Hongluan was also trustworthy, and quickly took a piece of pastry from the food box next to him, put it in the wine jug and wet it and threw it towards where Wei Qingqing was, "I will give you some fruit brew to quench your thirst!" ”

The transaction between Zhao Lingxi and Hongluan went on too fast, Wei Qingqing's head was a little sluggish due to her weak body, and it wasn't until Hongluan threw the pastry into her arms accurately that she realized what was going on!
