Chapter 251: The Secret Passage Outside the Osmanthus Forest
Jiao Yuzhen felt unwell, but it did not prevent her from using her own strength, Zisang Yilang and Qingyu both said that as long as they did not leave Zhuangzi, even if the world was in chaos outside, it would be impossible for Zhuangzi to come up, but when she saw the latest official document posted on the emperor's list to announce the world, she knew that even if she never appeared, it was still Jimo Hanfei's weakness.
On the emperor's list, it is said that Liu Qingbao, the former head of the Liu family, is a chaotic party, has been caught, and will be beheaded at noon, and it is Concubine Xi who is in charge of everything while the emperor is unwell to control the overall situation!
Concubine Xi asked Ning, Jiao Yuzhen had no grudges against her, but after a few contacts, she also knew that the most powerful person in the harem was not the powerful Concubine Rong in the past, but this Concubine Xi Niangniang, who had always been quiet and seemed to be not competing for favor but had a stable status!
Concubine Xi is a terrible woman...... Now that she has controlled everything while Jimo and Ao are unwell, and maybe there is still the idea of plotting to usurp the throne, she can even use the name of Jimo Hanfei to launch a forced palace, and then become the empress herself!
Bringing all the things from the phoenix carving wooden box on her body, along with the jasper phoenix shake, Jiao Yuzhen checked her makeup in front of the bronze mirror, perhaps because of pregnancy, it added a little more charm, and there was a maternal brilliance, she stroked her belly that was not very comfortable, but she still gritted her teeth and endured it.
Maybe even Qingyu doesn't know that there is an underground waterway in the ravine on the outskirts of Jiaojia Farm, from which you can go all the way to the south, but the upstream of the waterway is the direction of the capital, as long as you enter the underground waterway, you can go along the waterway in the direction of the capital.
"Yan Duo!" Jiao Yuzhen called out the door, and in the blink of an eye, he saw Yan Duo coming over, "I seem to be a little hungry, you go and prepare some pastries for me." This kid...... It was also able to eat, and it starved me. β
Jiao Yuzhen suddenly called her on this big night, which startled her, but after hearing Jiao Yuzhen's words, she couldn't help laughing: "That's it...... Don't worry, princess, the slave will go and bring some snacks. β
"I want osmanthus cake, I want Yan Duo to make osmanthus cake with your own hands." Jiao Yuzhen grabbed Yan Duo's sleeve and became coquettish like a child.
Yan Duo is older than Jiao Yuzhen, and has always regarded Jiao Yuzhen as his sister, so he can't stand Jiao Yuzhen's cute and petite appearance, and nods again and again: "Good, good, good!" Taking advantage of the fact that the weather is not yet winter, there are still osmanthus flowers in the forest outside, and the slave maid will go to pick them first to ensure that the pastries are made within an hour! β
"In that case, I'm going to go too, and now that the weather is good, let's enjoy the osmanthus in the forest outside."
Jiao Yuzhen's words all followed the topic, without a trace of abruptness, and Yan Duo naturally didn't notice anything unusual, so Yan Duo nodded obediently: "Okay, the princess puts on a cloak, and the slave maid and the young lady go out together." β
put on a cloak and walked to the outside of the village with Yan Duo, Jiao Yuzhen has been thinking in her heart, it is very simple to slip away under Yan Duo's nose, because when she comes out with Yan Duo, Qingyu doesn't care, but the dark guard doesn't say so, even if Liuxun is not by her side at this moment, but there are eleven dark guards led by Qingyun, at this time her heart is the most entangled, that is, Mo Hanfei actually let the secret guards follow her after she left the mansion, in fact, it would be much easier if she just left Liuxun aloneβ¦β¦
"Princess, look how good the osmanthus blooms this night, it's almost late autumn and winter, and there are still so many large osmanthus forests......"
Jiao Yuzhen retracted her thoughts, and looked up at the osmanthus flowers on the trees, silver, silver, and white, reflecting the moonlight, exuding a soft light, this dreamlike scene made her stunned for a while, thinking that she was in a dream.
couldn't help but stand under an osmanthus tree and stretched out her hand, gently caught the osmanthus that hung down low, and it was a gentle touch that made her smile: "It's so beautiful......"
Suddenly, Jiao Yuzhen thought of how to break those secret guards, she laughed, and then seemed to jump up to pick osmanthus flowers, and suddenly a black shadow appeared beside her, holding her shoulder steadily, Jiao Yuzhen looked fixedly, it was Qingyun.
"Princess, you are pregnant with Liujia, don't be like this." Qingyun frowned and spoke.
"I want to pick osmanthus flowers, but those on the top of the tree are beautiful, you ask everyone to pick osmanthus for me, I'll wait here." Jiao Yuzhen had an excited expression on his face, and that child-like expression was impossible to refuse.
"Okay, the princess is waiting here." Qingyun made a gesture as he spoke, and suddenly many black shadows rushed towards the osmanthus forest.
Although the figure of the dark guard is very fast, Jiao Yuzhen's eyes are powerful, and she can see those black shadows clearly in the blink of an eye, it is indeed the eleven dark guards, since everyone has come out, then she is relieved.
Jiao Yuzhen touched her stomach, and in a flash, she jumped directly into the ravine on the side, where the water was deeper than before, and the water went directly to her chest when she jumped down, but because of this, even that kind of impact just now didn't make her stomach have any problems, this water was like a pair of gentle big hands, supporting her body, the only regret was that the water was a little cold.
This is next to the osmanthus forest, although this night can be found so clearly because of her eyes, but the secret guards will definitely come to her when they find that she is gone, and when the time comes, they will naturally see it when they look around with torches.
Jiao Yuzhen stabilized himself in the water, and then went in the direction of the countercurrent......
******
Jiao Yuzhen was gone, Zhuangzi was naturally in a mess, Qingyun and the others blamed themselves, Yan Duo was even more silent at the basket full of osmanthus flowers, but he stopped because of Qingyu's faint words.
Qingyu said softly: "If she wants to leave, no one can stop her." The people of the Xuanyuan royal family are always so stubborn, she is our princess, and naturally she is also a stubborn princess. β
"What the hell is going on?" Qingyun They are secret guards, they don't dare to go away against Qingyu, Xin Pengyi has palpitations about Qingyu, and naturally he doesn't dare to say anything, but Zisang Yilang is not like this, he has always been arrogant, an arrow stepped forward, the purple sleeves were thrown up, he grabbed Qingyu's collar with his hand, and lifted Qingyu, who was a little shorter than himself and seemed to be just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, "You said that it is impossible to go out here, as long as you don't go out, it will be very safe, So you tell me why Qingbao just stood in the forest outside for a while and then disappeared, there are so many secret guards, how did she get out if she didn't know martial arts? β
"I don't know." Qingyu didn't care about Zisang Yilang's roar, he shook his head slightly, "I also laid eyeliner and illusions in the forest outside the Zhuangzi, if she went out of the forest, I would have found it, but I didn't find anything unusual, then it proves ......" Saying, Qingyu lowered her head and looked at the floor under her feet, "There is a secret passage under this Zhuangzi that I don't know." β
"What secret passage?" Zisang Yilang let go of Qingyu, he didn't care about those things, even if he guessed the relationship between Qingyu and Jiao Yuzhen, but he didn't pay attention to it, so he paused after asking such a question, "I don't care about any secret passages, you get her back for me as soon as possible, her body can't withstand a little toss." β
Qingyu nodded, and then sorted out the clothes on his body: "At night today, a new imperial list was posted in the capital, saying that the imperial court caught Liu Qingbao, the former head of the Liu family, and accused Liu Qingbao of treason. And there are rumors that the emperor is sick, and now it is Concubine Xi who is controlling the government. Because of such rumors, if Prince Jing sees the imperial list, he will think that the imperial court has really caught Qingbao, and then there will be a robbery field. Qing Bao knew about this and would be sure that it was a trap, and in order to tell Prince Jing that she must have gone in person and would appear in the court before noon. β
"In that case, why don't you go and look for it? Get her back now......"
"yes, get her back now!" Qingyun finally couldn't help but add a sentence, he never told Jiao Yuzhen about the outside matter, no one knows how Jiao Yuzhen learned about the emperor's list, and because of this, this matter is completely a mistake by the secret guard!
"As I said, no one can get out of here, including you. Because in order to completely isolate this place from the outside and ensure the safety of Zhuangzi in the turmoil, my illusion cannot be solved in a short time, and you have no way to get out, even if you go to the edge of the forest, you will walk back like a ghost hitting a wall. Even if it's me...... I can't get out now. Qingyu said this, but laughed, "Since Qingbao can get out, she has her own way, we are all trapped in the cage of our own making, and she ...... It's a phoenix that can fly......"
******
Although Jiao Yuzhen has a big belly, her movements in the water are not very slow, although she is swimming against the current, but she only swims a short distance before she sees the shore, so she walks all the way along the shore road, and her body does not feel cold at all because of the exercise, and then it is ......
Touching her stomach with her hand, although her stomach was a little uncomfortable, she could still persevere, because she knew that if she didn't persevere, even Mo Hanfei would probably die because of falling into the trap, and when she thought of this, she couldn't bear it!
I don't know how long she walked, Jiao Yuzhen felt that she was very close to the capital, remembering the day she was reborn, she relied on herself to go to the capital, the only difference is that she took the official road at that time, and now she is walking the underground waterway, so it should be much shorter than the original distance......
Suddenly, the soles of her feet slipped, Jiao Yuzhen hurriedly reached out to pay the stone wall on the side, but was surprised to find that she had encountered something that was obviously square in her hand, she was surprised to see that the stone that was touched by herself turned out to be artificially created by the whole fixed protrusion, if she didn't have a pair of eyes like this, then she would never have found this stone in such a dark place!
The underground secret passages that extend in all directions under the ground of Qingguo may not only have those entrances and exits that go straight to the ground, but also this kind of underground river that connects to this naturally formed underground river!
Jiao Yuzhen could see through that behind this square stone was an artificially created passage, which was indeed the appearance of an underground secret passage, and if there was nothing wrong with that direction...... It's the Royal Palace!
The emperor said that the place to kill "Liu Qingbao" is the noon gate, and it is definitely much safer to come out of the palace than in the city, and she is already very familiar with the palace, if Jimo and Ao are sick, and Concubine Xi Zhiwenning controls everything, then it must be very difficult to appear from the harem, but if it comes out of the underground palace of the royal family's secret vault, it will be much easier!
Silently holding down the things that were hidden in her arms, Jiao Yuzhen pressed the square stone without hesitation, and then after a vibrating sound, a stone door opened in front of him that only allowed one person to pass through!
