In the Diligent Palace.

It was late at night when Su Yan reviewed the recital, and although Li Dawei and Gonggong Li on the side were standing, they were dozing.

As soon as Su Yan looked up and saw Gonggong Li's appearance, a gentle smile appeared on his face: "Gonggong Li, if you are tired, go to sleep." ”

Gonggong Li hurriedly cheered up: "The old slave is not tired!" Old slaves are not tired! But Your Majesty, you have worked until now, and it is time to rest, and your health is important. ”

Su Yan nodded, and had already put away the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, but suddenly seemed to remember something: "By the way, Gonggong Li, have you done what I ordered this morning?" ”

"Two guards have been sent." Gonggong Li raised his eyes and glanced at the emperor while helping to clean up his things, with a tentative tone: "This queen mother, the fall on the city tower has changed her temperament a lot." actually threatened to run away, if the emperor was alive, she would ...... like this"

Gonggong Li didn't finish his words, because he saw the emperor's eyebrows frowning, as if he was very tired.

"Your Majesty, it's better to go back to Wanxin Pavilion. Concubine Li came over in the afternoon and told the old slave that she had specially boiled bird's nest for the emperor. ”

"Just leave these things to the palace maid and eunuch, why should Concubine Li do it herself?"

"As long as it is related to the emperor, Concubine Li will try her best to do it herself, and she is really heartfelt."

"Concubine Li is gentle and understanding, and she keeps my harem in order, and she really has a heart."

Su Yan said as he walked out of the Qinzheng Palace, and turned left when he went out.

"Your Majesty, you are wrong, Concubine Li's Wanxin Pavilion is on the right." Gonggong Li hurriedly stepped forward.

"I said I was going to Wanxin Pavilion?" Su Yan had a cold expression on his face: "It's not too early, I won't bother Concubine Li, let's go back to the Palace of Cultivating Hearts." ”

After saying that, he had already headed in the direction of the Heart Cultivation Palace.

"Alas!" Gonggong Li glanced at the rockery at the door and sighed heavily.

After they left, a palace maid came out from behind the rockery: Rui'er.

Rui'er went back and reported to Concubine Li truthfully.

Concubine Li was sitting in front of the dresser, still drawing her eyebrows in the middle of the night. Hearing Rui'er's words, her eyebrows were a little crooked.

Putting the eyebrow pencil heavily on the dresser, Concubine Li's tone of voice was as calm as possible: "Is the emperor still running to the Tomb of the Resentful Woman these days?" ”

"I didn't go yesterday or today...... "Rui'er didn't dare to speak loudly, because she knew that her master was in a bad mood now, so she just suppressed it and didn't show it.

Concubine Li looked at herself in the mirror, her face expressionless.

After a long time, she said faintly: "Rui'er, what did you think about what I told you last time?" ”

The girl named Rui'er was stunned for a moment, but quickly calmed down: "As long as my brother can enter the military camp and be a young general, Rui'er is willing to work for Concubine Li's mother." ”

Concubine Li turned sideways, pulled Rui'er, and gently patted the back of her hand: "You are really a good girl." Then you do what you have to do tonight! ”

Ruier knelt down: "Thank you, Niangniang." ”

……

The door creaked open.

There was a small palace maid standing at the door.

On the night of the Grievance Woman's Mausoleum, except for the room where Shan Mu lived there were still two or three candles, there had been no lamps outside for a long time.

The old lady is very frugal, and she is calculating expenses at any time.

Shan Muxi couldn't see the little palace maid's face clearly, so he had to ask, "Who is outside?" ”

The little palace maid walked in and saluted: "The slave knocks on the Queen Mother." ”

Shan Muxi felt that she was a little familiar, and vaguely had some impressions: "Are you ...... The people around Concubine Li? ”

It seems that I have been photographed somewhere.

The little palace maid didn't look up, and looked very respectful to Shan Muxi: "The slave's name is Rui'er, and she is the person next to Concubine Li's mother." ”

Concubine Li? Shan Yuyu and her, the new emperor's favorite concubine, don't seem to have any relationship.

"What are you looking for me?" Shan Muxi's tone was very flat, but his eyes were scrutinizing.

"The slave saw that Niangniang missed the prince all day long, but always the mother and son couldn't see each other, and felt pity......" Speaking of this, Rui'er glanced at Shan Muxi and found that her gaze was not as soft as she imagined, so she buried her head lower: "Niangniang forgive your sins!" The minion has a gaffe, you are the noble queen mother, how can it be the turn of the slave to have mercy......"

Intuitively, Shan Muxi felt that Concubine Li would not be kind to her. So what she said was simple and straightforward: "You came to me so far at night, tell me something." ”

Rui'er slowly stood up and looked at Shan Muxi, her eyes seemed to be very sincere. After hesitating for a long time, she bit her lower lip: "The slave dared to suggest that the Queen Mother take the prince of Guo to escape from this place of right and wrong......"

Shan Muxi just wanted to escape, but that had to be carefully arranged. There is also a checkpoint at the bottom of the mountain, which is guarded by soldiers. The hypocritical Dog Emperor originally wanted to trap Shan Muxi and Liu Zhiguo here and wait for death, how could he let them escape easily?

Shan Muxi didn't dare to act rashly.

Rui'er seemed to see through Shan Muxi's thoughts, and there was encouragement in her eyes: "The general who guards the mountain is my fellow countryman and grew up together. I'll go and tell him he'll let you go. ”

"The emperor knows that he let us go, so he should punish him, right?" Shan Muxi's eyes were suspicious: "Wouldn't Miss Rui'er feel bad about her fellow villagers like this?" ”

"I'm also thinking about you...... Niangniang" Rui'er hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth: "Niangniang and Guo Wangye are both highly poisonous, I am afraid that something will happen, and the emperor should not deliberately investigate where you went." ”

It means: you have to die anyway, no matter where you die?

Shan Muxi was a little frustrated when she heard Rui'er's words, but she still wanted to take Guo'er out to give it a try.

What if you meet a miracle doctor?

It seems that the situation is really in favor of the escape. After careful consideration, Shan Muxi nodded: "I'd better give it a try, I don't want to wait here to die." Thanks for the reminder. ”

Rui'er looked sincerely frightened: "The status of the mother is noble, don't thank the slave!" ”

When someone gives grace, you must know who the benefactor is. Shan Muxi asked: "I don't know if Rui'er's comparison is the meaning of Concubine Li's mother, or Rui'er's personal actions?" ”

"It's just Rui'er doing it alone, and Concubine Li doesn't know about it."

So.

Shan Muxi smiled at Rui'er: "Thank you, Miss Rui'er!" Once I escape, I am afraid that Da En will not have a chance to thank me again, so I can only say thank you here. ”

Ruier hurriedly knelt down: "Don't be like this, mother! Ruier is just a minion with a humble status, and she can't afford the word "thanks" from her mother! ”

Shan Muxi hurriedly pulled her up: "All beings are equal, and no one is born with a humble identity." ”

Rui'er's eyes were full of gratitude, and she took out a silver bracelet: "When the time comes, you give this to the general who is guarding the city, he knows that this is my object, and he will naturally let you out." ”

Shan Muxi nodded.

Before going out, Rui'er seemed to remember something, and turned back: "It's best for Niangniang to dress up as a man, and then dress up Guo Wang Ye as a girl, so that no one will pay attention when you go out." ”

It seems that this Ruier is a wise girl.

Shan Muxi nodded again and again: "Thank you girl for reminding me." ”

Ruier then retreated with confidence.

The night returned to tranquility, but Shan Muxi's heart could no longer be quiet.

Thinking that after tomorrow, she can leave the emperor's clutches with poor Liu Zhiguo, how can she sleep?
