In the middle of the night, a dazzling lightning bolt pierced the sky, and after the rumbling thunder, the rain fell overwhelmingly.

In the solemn palace, the patrolling guards had to find shelter from the rain and wait for the rain to stop before continuing their patrols.

Another flash of lightning flashed, and a fleeting light flashed in the entire night sky, and it was also at this moment that two figures flickered on the tall city wall, fleeting, as if it were an illusion.

"This way." Guo Jing was dressed in a black night robe, and waved his hand at Tang Ruyan who was following behind, Tang Ruyan immediately followed, although the body deity grew up in this palace, but she was the first time to come, and she only sighed why the palace was so big and the ancient emperors were rich and unkind.

The two hid under an eaves and shook off the clothes on their bodies, this is a raincoat made by Tang Ruyan, made of high-grade oiled paper, light and able to cover the rain, and a hat brim is made of a hat hat on the head, and the pullable brim can cover the whole face.

"The palace is really big." Tang Ruyan looked around, the two of them had been in the palace for almost an hour, but they didn't find anything, and now they didn't know where it was, it seemed that they were lost.

Getting lost is a simple thing, with a mouth under the nose, but here, it obviously doesn't work. Tang Ruyan frowned, she has always been a place she has always passed by, when there is no task, she travels to pass the time, and has visited a lot of ancient palaces, according to the law, it shouldn't be.

But now the fact is that they are really lost, and although the rain hides their whereabouts well, they can't judge the direction from the position of the stars.

Without those high-tech gadgets, it's really inconvenient to get things done. I'm going to have to get a compass when I go back, and I don't think I can let something like this happen again.

Guo Jing was obviously thinking about the same question, looking around, "Master, are we leaving?" It's been an hour. ”

Tang Ruyan shook his head, "Look for it again, this is a good opportunity." ”

Without refuting, he pulled up his raincoat, and the two of them fell into the rainy night again, and took a look when they saw the room.

"Ah, you're all damned people, you're all damned people, Lan Xin, you're a slut, you're the most vicious woman in the world, I'm going to kill you, hahaha!!"

The poignant female voice was mixed with the sound of the rain, coming out intermittently, and in this dark rainy night, it was terrifying.

Ghosts! Of course not. Although she has experienced such an oolong incident as crossing over, Tang Ruyan still has a hard time imagining the theory of ghosts, in her world, people are far more terrifying than ghosts.

Hearing the shrill female voice, the two of them glanced at each other and ran towards the source of the voice. In such a deep palace backyard, there is such an existence, which has to make people curious.

Following the sound, the two of them came to a very secluded place, where a bamboo forest almost obscured all vision, lightning flashed, and the swaying bamboo shadows formed a mottled image falling on the rain-soaked ground.

It's not like it's inhabited at all. Tang Ruyan frowned, but the voice just now obviously came from here.

The two glanced at each other, slowed down and walked forward along the bamboo forest, and a vermilion lacquer wooden door appeared in front of them, but most of the vermilion lacquer on it had already fallen off, and there was only one door tied to the door.

Zoyou Palace. With the help of flashes, the three words above the door plaque can barely be seen.

Zoyou Palace! Tang Ruyan repeated these three words on one side, and suddenly felt a headache, everything in front of him became blurry, something flashed in his mind quickly, like a picture but he couldn't see anything clearly, and it seemed that something was about to break free from it. Holding his forehead with both hands, he tried to suppress the sharp pain.

"Hmm!" The severe pain made Tang Ruyan couldn't help but snort.

"Master, what's wrong?" Guo Jing immediately sensed that Tang Ruyan was wrong, even if it was dark night, it was difficult to hide her pale face. "Master."

Tang Ruyan didn't answer, closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths, and the pain disappeared on its own.

"Let's go, I had a sudden headache just now, and now it's fine."

Guo Jing wanted to say something, but saw that Tang Ruyan had already rushed inside, so he had to quickly follow.

The yard was empty, full of half-man-high weeds, a row of tall houses, the windows and doors were all tattered, lightning flashed, and it was faintly visible that there were countless strips of satin hanging in the house, and the white satin danced in the wind, and in such a place, it was eerie.

Rao is a well-informed person like Tang Ruyan and Guo Jing, and he can't help but be afraid in his heart.

"Hahaha! Lan Xin, you slut! Slut! Slut! I'm going to become a ghost, and I won't let you go if I become a ghost. The poignant female voice sounded again, and the two of them could hear it clearly at such a close distance. Woowoo woo ......"

In the harem, such a bleak place, it's easy to guess what kind of place it is. The harem, in the beautiful face will also become hideous here, in this gorgeous cage, there are only two extreme results waiting for them.

"Nothing to look at, just a poor, pathetic woman." Tang Ruyan turned around and wanted to leave, she hadn't taken care of these things yet, and the child would never be in such a place.

"Smoke! My cigarettes. ”

The two people who rushed out a few steps were stunned, Yan'er, that woman actually shouted Yan'er? In this harem, the thought of the possibility made a layer of cold sweat instantly break out on Tang Ruyan's forehead.

"Guo Jing, what kind of person is Lan Xin?" Tang Ruyan turned her head and asked Guo Jing on the side, she really didn't know the characters here.

Guo Jing glanced at Tang Ruyan, after hearing the woman shouting Yan'er, the panic in his heart was more real than Tang Ruyan, originally he didn't care, but after the woman shouted the name Yan'er, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have heard it somewhere, the queen of the Southern Capital Kingdom, that is, Tang Ruyan's mother, was beaten into the cold palace.

"Lan Xin is the mother concubine of the current emperor, and now she is the queen mother." Guo Jing carefully observed Tang Ruyan's expression, for fear of what she would do.

Tang Ruyan laughed miserably in her heart, it turned out that her guess had come true. Think about it, the battle for the harem, a queen without an heir, in the end, the ending will be worse than those concubines. The new emperor ascended the throne, the mother is more precious than the son, as the mother of the new emperor, she naturally became the queen mother, how could she tolerate the existence of the queen who has been high pressure on her head?

Now, she understands why she is being treated as a pawn, and the power that guards her has collapsed, so it is only natural that she will become a pawn.

A sneer bloomed at the corner of Tang Ruyan's mouth.

Whoever she was, she should go and see the poor woman, for she had given her this body.

"Go in and have a look." Although the original intention was only because this person was the mother of the original owner, for some reason, when he said this, a sour feeling hit his heart, and his eyes were instantly flooded with a liquid.

As soon as he raised his head, the rain fell on his face, Tang Ruyan reached out and touched his face, telling himself that he couldn't cry, he had to be strong, tears would not bring any benefits, and everything in this world needed to be fought for by himself.

The two of them came to the house one after the other, and before they could step inside, a fishy smell rushed towards them, almost making people breathless. Raising his hand to cover his mouth and nose, Tang Ruyan quickly entered the hall, the hall was covered with white satin, each of which was stained with blood, and under the blowing of the wind, it shook wantonly, like a soul seeking his life.

The people in the room seemed to be aware of someone's arrival, and they stopped scolding.

The two soon spotted the screaming woman in the corner of the hall. What a miserable scene was that? Tang Ruyan only felt that his heart was violently shocked.

On a hard wooden board, a pitch-black coarse cloth was placed, and a large half-broken bowl was placed on the ground, and there was unfinished leftovers in it, and the smell of leftovers was disgusting. And in the corner, curled up a woman, if it can still be called a woman.

The clothes on his body have long since disappeared, his hair is messy, he is skinny, the torn clothes are vaguely visible The hideous whip marks on his arms, his face is also pitch black, his body emits an intolerable stench, and only a pair of eyes are extremely bright, looking at the two people who suddenly appeared in front of him with fear.

But-the first time she saw her, there was a hint of surprise in the woman's eyes, although it was fleeting, but Tang Ruyan was almost sure that she was not mistaken, over the years of her agent career, she had become accustomed to looking at people at the first glance and looking at each other's eyes.

Suddenly, the woman seemed to recognize Tang Ruyan, and cried and threw herself in front of her, "Yan'er, my Yan'er, you're finally here." ”

Tang Ruyan looked at the woman quietly, although she guessed the identity of the woman in front of her, she still instinctively avoided it, it was really-

The woman threw herself into the air, staring blankly at her hands, tears falling down her eyes, "Smoke, where is my smoke?" Suddenly looked up at Tang Ruyan, his eyes showed a fierce light, and he looked at Tang Ruyan with a hideous face, "It's you, it's you, it's you who killed my Yan'er, you femme fatale-hearted woman, you can't die well, I'll kill you today, I'm going to kill you." ”

The woman said as she threw herself at Tang Ruyan again.

Lose your marbles! Tang Ruyan realized that the once noble woman in front of her had gone completely crazy when she was locked up in such a place, and her heart suddenly hurt, looking at the woman in front of her, she really wanted to take her out of here for a moment.

It turned out that she was not the only one who suffered, compared to the woman in front of her, who was already crazy, she was still much happier, if her whereabouts were not exposed, maybe she was still the woman who was favored by the prince. But—I always felt that something was wrong.

"Lan Xin, you vicious woman, you return my cigarettes, give me back my cigarettes." The woman continued to cry, her face contorted with hatred.

Poor woman! If she stays here, she will die sooner or later, but reason tells her that this is a critical moment, and she can't startle the snake, so she can't take her away for the time being.

"I'm sorry."

Tang Ruyan said softly, leaving the crazy woman, pulling Guo Jing and quickly rushing out of this room that she couldn't bear anymore, she was afraid that if she stayed any longer, she would really leave with the woman. "Please bear with me, I'll definitely pick you up and leave when I'm done dealing with the outside world."

Guo Jing followed behind Tang Ruyan, although he couldn't see the expression on her face, he sensed her mood at the moment, so when Tang Ruyan said to leave, he didn't say a word.

She naturally has her ideas. For her, he chose to trust for no reason.
