Chapter 677: Cause, Cause and Effect
Xia Yinhuan thought that she had auditory hallucinations, Concubine Qi had just said that no one would open the stone door not long ago, and there was no mechanism in it that could open the stone door, but at this time, she suddenly changed her words, which made her incredulous.
Cang Linchen had no physical strength, and he didn't know where the strength came from when he heard Concubine Qi's words, so he suddenly stood up and walked down the steps, looked at Concubine Qi who was standing by the Qingtan, and asked out loud: "Dare to ask where is the exit?" ”
He has always felt that Concubine Qi is not the kind of person who can't be saved when she sees death, women are soft-hearted people, how can there be hard-hearted women.
"...... here" Concubine Qi pointed her finger at Qingtan beside her, she didn't want to look at Cang Rinchen more, she turned her head to show coldness, she didn't want to reveal this secret to the world at all.
There was obviously an exit to this place, but she didn't run away, but let Ouyang Chen be imprisoned in the secret room, if Xia Yinhuan knew about it, she would definitely ask again.
This secret room is not unique to Ouyang Chen's accession to the throne, she once secretly asked people to do it without telling the first emperor, when she didn't want to see the first emperor, whenever the first emperor came here at night, she would hide in the secret room.
Therefore, the palace ladies in the desert are either slaves or female officials, and they all know that Concubine Qi is the most likely to disappear, and she often disappears, and she can't find it when she searches the palace, but she miraculously appeared the next day.
The first emperor once asked where she went, but Concubine Qi didn't speak coldly, and over time, the first emperor was so anxious and angry that she almost abolished her, and then she was sick in bed and didn't have the heart to take care of it.
"Here?" Cang Rinchen couldn't help but be surprised when he looked at Qingtan, which was as calm as a mirror, he never thought that the exit turned out to be Qingtan, that is, he had to swim out of Qingtan.
"That's right, this Qingtan is connected to the wading river in the palace, and the wading river leads to the outside of the palace and is connected to the moat." Concubine Qi explained in a few words, not wanting to say too much to Cang Rinchen.
At this time, Xia Yinhuan, who was exhausted, slowly walked down the stone steps, and was surprised to hear the conversation between the two and look at Qingtan.
"How is it possible to swim out of here." She stroked her arm a little timidly, only to feel the chill hit her, and a layer of goosebumps appeared on her body.
Desert nights are the coldest time, so wouldn't it be even worse to swim in the water at this time?
Swim out, do you have a life?
If it's okay during the day, it's too hot to soak in the water is a pleasure, and according to the temperature of the desert, I'm afraid that even the water in Qingtan is cold during the day.
But now it's night......
"Thank you." Cang Rinchen finally laughed, and arched his hand to Concubine Qi as a thank you, although it was dangerous to swim out, but this was their only way out.
Life and death depend on fate, if you don't fight, then the people of Yasukuni will be harassed by the desert, and as the monarch of Yasukuni, he absolutely cannot let that kind of thing happen!
"Don't ......" Xia Yinhuan hurriedly grabbed his sleeve, and she couldn't help but shiver when she looked at the cold Qingtan, let alone enter the Qingtan......
Cang Linchen smoothly grabbed her hand and held it tightly in his hand, looked at Qingtan and then looked at her and asked, "Yin Huan, do you believe me?" ”
His gaze was religious, as if he were praying to the Buddha, and he was very sincere.
Xia Yinhuan nodded without hesitation, how could she not believe in Cang Rinchen, Cang Rinchen was her sense of security, warmed to her heart by the hand he held, no matter when and where, as long as she was by his side, she could be full of confidence.
"Then come with me, believe me, we won't die." Cang Linchen actually didn't have a bottom in his heart, but he believed that there was no way to heaven and man, and since God had let him go through so much suffering and still live until now, he would not easily accept his life.
It is said that the Son of Heaven is the Son of Heaven, and God has the virtue of a good life, and it will not be unfavorable to him.
"Good!" Xia Yinhuan finally stopped being afraid, looked at him calmly, and put her heart back in her stomach.
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Cang Rinchen's mouth, with some pity in his eyes, he blamed himself for coming to the desert with his own will, and he blamed himself for not being able to protect Xia Yinhuan well.
In the end, let her suffer such hardships and experience such dangers with her, if only she were left in the palace.
However, it has reached this point, and you can't go back in time with regret.
The two stood on the edge of Qingtan holding hands, looking at each other, the other party's eyes were not afraid of life and death, with a pop, the water splashed on the Qingtan, and I saw that the figures of the two gradually disappeared into the water.
Concubine Qi lowered her eyes, two lines of tears came from the corners of her eyes, surprisingly Xia Yinhuan never doubted the truth of her words, and she didn't expect Xia Yinhuan to believe her so much.
Perhaps, for the two of them, a glimmer of life will have to be tried, whether it is true or not.
The two are together, they are not afraid of heaven and earth, they trust each other, she thinks that she can't do this, she can't trust each other, Xia Yinhuan did what she couldn't do.
The pool water is indeed cold, and the moment he jumped into the pool, Xia Yinhuan only felt the piercing, almost shocking, and breathless.
It was as if she was in an ice cave, the chill was pervasive, she couldn't breathe, she couldn't speak, she couldn't even open her eyes.
The only thing that could feel reassured was the palm of the firming dust, the interlocking hands made her not so scared or so timid, and let him pull her to swim in the water.
She held back for a long time, almost suffocating, Xia Yinhuan could still think sadly, she had made an agreement with Cang Rinchen that life and death depended on each other, maybe this was the end of them.
Maybe she really wants to realize that agreement, life and death depend on each other, in fact, she doesn't want to die, she almost belongs to someone who has died once, death is terrifying, but no matter how terrible things are with Cang Linchen, it is not terrible, as long as you are not afraid of everything!
She was thinking about it, but Cang Linchen dragged her and hugged her in his arms, as if he was saying something to her while swimming forward, she couldn't hear clearly, she could only faintly see the shape of his mouth from a little light, as if it was silent: "Don't close your eyes." ”
He was afraid, he was afraid that she would never be able to open her eyes again.
Xia Yinhuan pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled, but the cool water slid down her mouth and into her mouth, she swallowed it directly, but there was still water in her mouth.
She secretly said that it is not good, most of the people who drown are supported to death by water, as long as they drink boiling water, there is no limit, the water will always be poured into the mouth, and the person will keep swallowing, until finally the stomach is full of water, and they are supported to death!
At this time, she saw a ray of light, the light was very bright, getting brighter and brighter, she was no longer able to look at it, she pushed the stone door for a long time and drank a few sips of water, her thoughts were becoming more and more chaotic.
The moment Cang Rinchen saw the light, he knew that Concubine Qi was not lying, Qingtan was indeed a wading river leading to the palace, seeing that Xia Yinhuan had slowly closed his eyes, he didn't care about the physical exhaustion, and he went upstream vigorously, gradually surfacing the water, and a palace lamp stood on the riverside, exuding bright light.
Cang Rinchen took the lead in exposing Xia Yinhuan's head to the surface of the river, and then he looked around and found that there were no guards around, so he put Xia Yinhuan on the shore.
Xia Yinhuan's stomach bulged badly, it seemed that she had drunk a lot of water, and when Cang Linchen secretly scolded her for being a fool, she pressed her stomach with her hand and pressed it several times, Xia Yinhuan spit out the water in her stomach with a 'wow' sound, and she also woke up.
As soon as the autumn wind passed, she snorted, and what caught her eye was the handsome face of the gray and dusty almost against her face.
Her eyesight gradually recovered, and she also saw the palace lamp standing beside her, and her eyes focused on light for a moment, and she coughed dryly twice: "We escaped, we really escaped!" ”
"Hmm." Cang Linchen looked at her excited appearance, and almost had the urge to cry, but he endured it, hugged her in his arms, and hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to embed it in his body.
Almost, I watched her go in front of me, and almost lost Xia Yinhuan.
"Don't hold me, it's so uncomfortable, let's leave quickly, if we don't leave, we will be discovered, or if Ouyang Chen knows that we are no longer in the secret room, it will be troublesome!"
There is no impermeable wall in the world, and Concubine Qi is being imprisoned in that secret room, Ouyang Chen will definitely pay extra attention, and it will definitely not be long before he knows the news of their escape.
Cang Linchen sighed for a while, and when he heard Xia Yinhuan say this, he also knew the priority of the matter, and quickly stood up and pulled Xia Yinhuan away.
Both of them looked wet, and even their hard bodies couldn't help but tremble when they were blown by the cool breeze, after all, the river was too cold, and it was the third watch in the middle of the night.
The two of them walked and stopped, and when they met the patrolling guards, they hid, and the ears of the gray were extraordinarily good, and they could hear their voices before they could make the next move.
Fortunately, it was easier to hide in the dark.
After passing through several courtyards, Xia Yinhuan kept in mind the map of the desert palace he had drawn, and turned left and right to the place where he was about to approach the palace gate.
Just after passing through an arch, Cang Rinchen suddenly whispered, "Go, hide." ”
Xia Yinhuan followed the vigilance, and hurriedly followed Cang Rinchen and retreated behind the arch, behind him was a small flower garden full of chrysanthemums, and the chrysanthemums were not very good, because the relationship was transplanted from Yasukuni, which was not as beautiful as Yasukuni.
As soon as I hid in the flowers, I saw two palace maids on night duty carrying oily palace lamps and slowly walked to the arch, yawning and moving listlessly, still talking about some and nothing.
I only heard a slightly energetic palace maid touch the yawning palace maid with her elbow and said: "Have you heard of it, there are always voices of women chanting poems against each other in Fengyi Palace, and recently the emperor has also sent heavy troops to guard it, I heard that it is Concubine Qi's ghost who is staying in Fengyi Palace." ”
Yomona also wanted to scare the yawning maid, so that she could feel the terror and cheer her up.
Unexpectedly, the palace maid was so bold that she was not afraid of this kind of words at all, she still yawned, covered her mouth with her hand, and replied disdainfully: "If there are ghosts, there are ghosts, and there are many such rumors in this palace." ”
"You girl, don't you want to think about it, how miserable Concubine Qi is, her life is embarrassing, and the relationship with the emperor is also embarrassing, the first emperor was also given to die when he went, I think if it were me, I would definitely hate the emperor to death." The palace maid couldn't help but crossbow her mouth as she spoke, not to mention Ouyang Chen's actions, which had been completely manifested on her face.
"Women, they all say that the emperor can't kill her, who let her actually say that even if she dies, she won't be with the emperor, I want to come to Your Majesty who has been infatuated with her for many years, who doesn't feel cold when she hears her words, but I don't understand why she said that to Your Majesty." The palace maid sighed, her voice had gradually faded away, and the two were still talking while walking, but Xia Yinhuan couldn't hear it.
After listening to this, she squatted down and glanced at Cang Rinchen, and said to Cang Rinchen with such an expression: "No wonder Ouyang Chen will detain her in the secret room, in fact, it is for her good, I'm afraid that she will really seek death, right?" ”
"If she really wants to die, what's the use of being locked up in a secret room?" Cang Linchen shook his head helplessly, sighed, and thought of Concubine Qi even more abruptly.
