When Wang Jiao'e came out of Ye Duan's palace, it was already dark, and the bright moonlight shone on her tear-stained face, and her eyes were lowered as if she had not yet escaped from her sorrow.

The palace people caressed her and slowly walked in the direction of Fengyi Hall step by step. Seeing that the winter solstice is approaching, the day is getting cooler and cooler day by day. I don't know if it was freezing or something else, her eyes were full of tears again, and she stopped in place for a while, looking back at the golden palace.

"This is clearly a cage that has imprisoned me for the rest of my life, but why can't I give it up?"

The palace people lowered their eyebrows and hugged her, silently listening to Wang Jiao'e's confession. The people who live in the palace, whether they are emperors and queens or palace maids and eunuchs, all have a thousand kinds of suffering.

Sometimes a person in a high position may not be able to compare with a lowly slave who takes his place to do his job. Wang Jiao'e, as the queen, should let go of her children's love and assist the emperor wholeheartedly. In the eyes of all the victorious people now, she is not Wang Jiao'e but the queen of the great victory.

"Mother, it's too cold, stand outside again, beware of catching a cold."

Wang Jiao'e finally took a deep look at the towering palace, and she didn't know whether her eyes were looking at the palace or the people sitting in the palace.

"Let's go." Let's go, as if she has exhausted all her strength, and the next goodbye may be a separation between heaven and earth.

A long time has passed since Ye Yufu was imprisoned, and during this time, the uneasiness in her heart has deepened, and her body has become thinner, and her already pointed face is now even thinner, and even her cheekbones are protruding.

She has been having nightmares these days, and what she keeps repeating in her dreams is the sentence she once asked Ye Yugui.

"The three princes died violently, the crown prince was imprisoned, and all this has nothing to do with you."

Although Ye Yugui didn't answer her question at that time, she was not a fool, and she had already seen the result from his reaction.

Because Ye Yufu hates being deceived by others, she has also made an agreement with Ye Yugui, and every time Ye Yugui has to lie, she will subconsciously choose to be silent.

But how much Ye Yufu hoped that Ye Yugui's reaction to her at that time was not silence, if he could say that he didn't do it himself, how good it would be.

She can always dream that Ye Yuxuan, whose face is covered with blood, comes to her to beg for her life, and dreams that Ye Yushen scolds her in every way. If she had discovered Ye Yugui's plan earlier, maybe it wouldn't have evolved into today's situation.

She began to rejoice that Ye Yugui had never been here since this month, because she didn't know what kind of face to use to treat him. to face the cruel truth.

Ye Yuxuan and Ye Yushen are all Ye Yugui's own brothers, they are all relatives who are related to him by blood, how can he do such a thing as killing his brother and killing his brother.

And she became more and more disgusted with herself, because from the beginning, she introduced Ye Yugui to Ye Yushen's side. If it weren't for her, maybe Ye Yushen would still be the prince with infinite scenery. How could you think that you would be locked up in the Prince's Mansion like this today.

It is precisely because it is rare to have so much time to think that Ye Yufu has thought of many things that she has not paid attention to before. But the more I thought about it, the more frightened I became, and the more I thought about it, the more terrible I felt.

Could it be that Ye Yugui began to plan step by step from the beginning of the drought, and his goal had long been aimed at the throne. He was part of his plan.

Thinking of this, Ye Yufu's face turned pale. She suddenly thought of the two palace people that Wang Jiao'e had sent to the Hangui Hall ten years ago to murder Ye Yugui. Why did Wang Jiao'e send someone to kill her own son? Later, I never saw those two palace people in the palace again, what did Ye Yugui do to those two?

Ye Yugui has always been a person who doesn't listen to others, why would he now be so obedient to the queen's will to marry the daughter of the Liu family who he doesn't like at all?

Ye Yugui is like a big net, so big that people can't notice that it's a net. This net is so big that it can be captured from the emperor to the next person. By the time he realized it, he couldn't break free. In the end, it's not a man, it's not a knife, I'm a fish.

The more Ye Yufu thought about it, the more she felt faint in front of her. No wonder Ye Yugui wants to lock himself up. Because she's in his way! Maybe Ye Yu didn't have a sincere heart for her from the beginning! From the past to the present, all the entanglements are just because she still has use value.

In the middle of the night, smoke suddenly rose from the room where Ye Yufu was locked. The guards guarding the door were a little drowsy, but they suddenly woke up from the smoke.

One of the guards shouted, "Why is this a sudden fire in the middle of the night?" Hurry up and get people out! If the master knows what happened to the one inside, we don't need to ask for our heads. ”

The other didn't even think to open the door all at once, and as the door opened, more smoke poured out, but inside

But there was no fire. Smell the smell of fire with your nose! It's clearly the smell of charcoal fire!

By the time the two of them cleared the smoke, Ye Yufu was already missing from the room.

Ye Yufu had been secretly hiding the coal from the furnace every day for a long time, and until today, when the two guards were a little confused, they burned it. At first, she was dizzy from the smoke, and she could only curl up and cover her mouth and nose with a water-soaked handkerchief. Standing next to the door, he escaped through the billowing smoke as soon as the door opened.

She knew that she was not fast, and if she escaped directly, she would be caught back soon, so she simply found a place to hide first, and waited for everyone to leave before taking the opportunity to slip away.

It's smoking, so I don't feel cold, but right now, it's frozen. Ye Yufu looked at the ground, there was already a thick layer of snow. She hadn't been able to get out of that room once in a long time. I didn't expect the temperature to plummet to such an extent now.

She shrunk and exhaled to warm her hands. In the hurry that he came out, he also wore a very thin white cloak on his body. Now it seems that with the right hand, this snow-white cloak can better hide in this snow-white sky. Almost immediately, she found a large haystack covered with a thick layer of snow. She brushed aside the grass underneath and crouched down to bury herself in it.

Ye Yufu had actually guessed that Ye Yugui had locked her up in the Seven Princes' Mansion, because the maids here were dressed like the maids she had seen with Liu Xiaorou at that time.

As expected, the news of Ye Yufu's escape spread in less than a stick of incense, and within a moment, a group of guards quietly left the house with lanterns.

Ye Yufu observed the movement outside, and waited until there was no one around before carefully getting up from behind the haystack, but what to do next made her worried.

If you go out like this now, you will definitely be caught by people outside, but it is so dark and so cold that you can't hide outside all the time. The subordinates of the Seven Princes' Mansion all obeyed Ye Yugui, and it was impossible for anyone to help her. Is there no one in this house who can help him? After thinking about it for a while, it suddenly occurred to her that there was someone in this mansion who would definitely help her.

Fortunately, when Ye Yugui got married, he took advantage of the wine to visit the Seven Princes' Mansion, so he still knew where Liu Xiaorou was.

Although it was dark now and the road was not easy to walk, Ye Yufu still carefully groped to find the bedroom where Liu Xiaorou rested at night.

After she knocked lightly a few times, Liu Xiaorou's slightly angry voice came from inside.

"You know what time it is. Is it to disturb my rest because you want to be beaten? ”

It seems that Liu Xiaorou must regard herself as a maid under her. Ye Yufu thought so, and whispered: "The Seventh Princess, it's me." ”

There was a moment of silence on the other side of the door, and he couldn't believe it for a long time: "Eldest princess? ”

"It's me."

As soon as Liu Xiaorou opened the door, what she saw was Ye Yufu wrapped in a cloak and her face was red from the cold. She looked around to make sure that no one had let Ye Yufu in.

When I entered the house, it was like coming to another world, and the house was burning with good charcoal, which warmed Ye Yufu's hands and feet gradually.

Liu Xiaorou put on a coat on her back, then looked at Ye Yufu, who was standing next to the stove to keep warm, and said angrily: "Princess, can you tell me why you appeared at the door of my room in the middle of the night." ”

Ye Yufu frowned slightly, hesitating whether to tell Liu Xiaorou the truth, as she expected at the beginning, Ye Yugui locked her up without Liu Xiaorou. If you make up a random reason now, I'm afraid you won't be able to get past it. Now there is no need to worry about anything at this point. It's better to tell the truth.

"Ye Yugui locked me up here, and then I escaped now. There is no other way but to come to you. ”

Liu Xiaorou reacted for a while before she asked in disbelief: "You said that His Royal Highness the Seventh has locked you up here!" ”

"That's right, and it's been more than a month. Didn't he forbid you to set foot in any place during this time? ”

When Ye Yufu said this, she suddenly remembered that almost a month ago, a side room was suddenly locked, and she asked the next person, and the next person just said that these useless things were put in it. She didn't care. Now it seems that Ye Yufu must have been locked up there.

"Why did His Highness the Seventh lock you up, aren't you her imperial sister. And it's still ......" Liu Xiaorou said, glaring at Ye Yufu with a little hatred.

Ye Yufu sighed deeply, the less people knew about Ye Duanli's intention to make her the emperor, the better, and if she told Liu Xiaorou and asked her to tell the Wang family, maybe the situation would be even worse than now.

So she said in a deep voice: "I said I was going to leave him, and then I quarreled with him for a few words, and I was knocked unconscious and woke up and was here." ”

Sure enough, after Ye Yufu said this, Liu Xiaorou didn't doubt it at all. Said directly: "You want me to help you get out of here?" ”

Ye Yufu nodded: "That's right, I owe you a favor this time." ”

Liu Xiaorou thought for a while, and finally agreed: "When it gets dawn, I'll help you get mixed up with the people who buy vegetables." ”

As soon as the two of them reached an agreement, there was another knock on the door. The source of the voice was Liu Xiaorou's maid.

"Miss, Your Highness came back just now, and said that she would come to Miss's room in a while."
