Why is this Ding Wei so familiar with Liu Demiao? It all started 20 years ago.

Ding is a gentleman, a man who has been known for three years.

Ding Wei is a native of Suzhou Prefecture, and after passing the Jinshi examination, he returned to his hometown to serve as the magistrate of Changzhou County in Pingjiang, Suzhou, and also did some practical things in the local area with the mentality of benefiting the people of his hometown.

That year, Liu Demiao, who was also a Jiangnan woman, had just gotten married, and her husband was a big businessman in Changzhou, Jia Wang, with a solid family background, and the family lived a stable and happy life.

Who knew that disaster fell from the sky, and in a transaction, Liu Demiao's father-in-law offended the local clan Dou. The other party planned to frame the Wang family and slandered the Wang family for owing tens of thousands of dollars on credit.

Liu Demiao's father-in-law complained everywhere, but the Dou family's grandfather was the governor of Jingzhou at the time, and the county orders of several counties near and far in Suzhou did not dare to offend the Dou family, so they did not accept the Wang family's case.

Changzhou County Lingben was also a gourd monk judging the gourd case, and ordered the Wang family to sell the house to repay the debt, and the case was hastily closed.

Liu Demiao's father-in-law died in a fit of rage, and Liu Demiao's husband was seriously injured and dying by the scoundrels of the Dou family.

The poor and weak Liu Demiao carried the whole family strongly, borrowing debts everywhere to make a living and treating her husband's illness.

Soon after, the Changzhou County Decree was replaced by a new person, and it is said that this Ding County Magistrate was fair and strict, iron-faced and selfless, and Liu Demiao immediately went to the government to avenge his grievances.

Liu Demiao's persistence and strength made Ding Wei admire and appreciate, he carefully checked the case file, visited many parties, and closely examined, and finally, this old case that dragged on for three years was unjust, and Ding Wei returned the innocence of the Wang family.

It's a pity that Liu Demiao's husband and father-in-law have died at this time, and they have not left a son and a half daughter, and the huge family business has been bankrupt.

Her mother's family refused to take Liu Demiao in, and her relatives were unwilling to help her, so she was left with a handmaiden by her side and lived alone.

Ding Wei admired Liu Demiao's tenacity, and when he saw that she was lonely, he took care of her. Liu Demiao couldn't repay it, so she married Ding Wei as a concubine.

In the third year of Xianping, Wang Jun rebelled in the Sichuan-Shaanxi region, and Ding Wei was ordered to lead troops to quell the rebellion.

As soon as he entered Yeongju, he was surrounded by the leaders of the ethnic minorities at that time and was almost annihilated. It was Liu Demiao who used a beauty trick to voluntarily marry the leader of the ethnic minority in exchange for the life of Ding Wei's family.

Later, Ding Wei tried to appease the local area with horses, salt, grain and other materials, and the leaders of the ethnic minorities expressed their loyalty to the imperial court. Without the support of the local ethnic minorities, Wang Jun was soon defeated and executed.

Ding Wei made meritorious contributions to quelling the chaos and was promoted to the envoy of the Pingjiang Army, but no one knows how much sacrifice Liu Demiao made for him.

After a few years in Rongzhou, Liu Demiao recognized a master and invited himself to escape from the Tao. She traveled with her master and experienced countless honors and disgraces.

At that time, if there was no big Taoist temple to protect them, there was not much difference from asking for food, and even some Taoist aunts were secret prostitutes wearing Taoist robes, begging for food everywhere.

Liu Demiao is a weak woman, who has done a dojo for a large family, followed the practice in a small Taoist temple, and traveled around to beg for a living.

Later, the talented and intelligent Liu Demiao gradually found the way to survive, those high-ranking officials and noble families had to accumulate yin virtue, seek longevity, and want Taoist explanations, Liu Demiao wandered in the official palace, the door of the minister, explained the Taoism to others, and became a lobbyist for wealthy families.

At this time, although Liu Demiao has no worries about food and clothing, he has to work hard for this gorgeous clothes and food, and he can't explain it.

Three years and three years, this time, when Liu Demiao was explaining the scriptures to the old lady in the back house of a state capital yamen in western Sichuan, he was recognized by the Zhizhou Lord of the family.

It turned out that this adult was a nephew of Ding Wei, and he had seen Liu Demiao in Ding Wei's mansion, so he told Ding Wei about it.

didn't want Ding Wei to still miss this woman, so he asked this nephew to help take care of it, and let Sanqingguan in Chongzhou take Liu Demiao in, so as to avoid the suffering of her running around.

After a few more years, Ding Wei needed someone to get close to the Queen Mother Liu E, so he thought of Liu Demiao, and invited her from Chongzhou to make her own eyeliner.

Ye Pei didn't know the origin of the relationship between them for many years, and only said that Liu Demiao was a confidant who had an adulterous affair with Ding Wei.

I only heard Ding Wei in the house continue to ask: "When you entered the palace today, did the Queen Mother say anything?" ”

Liu Demiao said: "Today I went to the Baoci Hall to meet the little county lord raised by the Queen Mother, she is really a smart and clever girl, no wonder the Queen Mother and the official family spoil her to the point of spoiling." ”

Ding Wei said: "Don't underestimate that little girl, she is also a merciful and ruthless character, you must be cautious in front of her in the future, don't be tricked by her." ”

Liu Demiao smiled contemptuously and said, "Just because she is such a little girl, is it worth guarding against Xiangye?" It seems that he is really a character. ”

"Don't you know, since she entered the palace, she has been fascinated by the official family and does not think about government affairs, and even wants to make her the queen, even more ......"

Ding Wei suddenly lowered his voice and said: "After the Queen Mother ascended the throne, she thought about making her the crown princess!" ”

Liu Demiao also took a breath in surprise, "Oh! She-only with a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl like her? ”

Ding Wei nodded and said, "It's not, so you must not be deceived by her appearance, you can do this, you are not an extraordinary person!" ”

Ding Wei changed his words and said with a smile: "But De Miao doesn't have to be afraid, the dragon guard and the guards have our internal response, when the time comes——"

Ding Wei made a decapitation action, "It's just fine." ”

Liu Demiao said with a smile: "Xiangye is thoughtful, and those who do great things must be talents like Xiangye!" Liu Demiao said again: "Today, I went with the little county lord to check the pulse of the official's family. ”

"What happened to the official's health? Is it really what the Imperial Medicine Institute says? ”

Liu Demiao nodded, "I'm terminally ill and my life is short." ”

Ding Weiyin laughed, "The wonderful scriptures really have an effect!" It seems that we have a big deal in eight or nine points! ”

Ye Pei was chilling outside the window, but he didn't notice that someone suddenly shouted at the courtyard gate, "What person!" Ye Pei was scared.

It turned out that this backyard was the courtyard where Ding Wei had a private meeting with Liu Demiao, and people were not allowed to enter and leave at will. The maids and servants were all bombarded far away at the moment, so the courtyard was unusually quiet. If it weren't for Ye Pei, a big living person, he would have been found hanging in the back window during the day for a long time.

At this time, the private guard of the Prime Minister's Mansion was patrolling here, and when they found Ye Pei, they didn't dare to enter the courtyard without permission, so they shouted to remind the master to pay attention.

The people in the house were shocked when they heard this, and Ding Wei hurriedly opened the door and came out. Seeing that the situation was not good, Ye Pei hurriedly made a "spirit monkey stealing jade" turn over and jump onto the courtyard wall.

Who knew that there were a large number of guards of private animals in Ding Wei's house, and a few of them had already scurried to the ridge.

Ye Pei wanted to run outside the courtyard, but when she saw that there were unusually many people chasing and intercepting her, she ran to the garden on the other side.

Entering the garden, Ye Pei jumped off the courtyard wall, wanting to dodge for a while, but who knew that the private guards of the Ding Mansion had surrounded the garden

Open. At this time, the sky was already dark, and Ye Pei was unfamiliar with geography in the dimness, and he lost his way after a few turns around the rockery. In a panic, she saw a dark cave in front of her, so she ran over.

Ye Pei looked up and saw that the entrance of the cave read "Xianyou Cave". Ye Pei didn't know what the place was, but he felt that he could dodge it a little, so he dodged into the cave.

Soon, the chasing soldiers had arrived, and Ye Pei had become a turtle in the urn, and he couldn't help but regret it a little in his heart.

In the dark, Ye Pei groped his way forward, this cave was several zhang wide and narrow, but unfortunately the four walls of the cave were smooth, and there was no place to hide.

Outside, Ding Wei led the private guard into the cave, but Ye Pei didn't know what to do, so he had to pull out the fish and dragon whip and prepare for the battle.

After entering the cave, Ding Wei ordered someone to light a torch, and the cave suddenly shone like day.

Ding Wei was also shocked when he saw that it was Ye Pei, and said angrily: "Why did you little girl come to my house?" ”

Ye Pei wanted to deny it, and said softly: "Prime Minister Ding, I went out of the palace to play, and I accidentally entered your prime minister's mansion, I'm really embarrassed." Your prime minister can hold the boat in his belly, let me go. ”

Ding Wei laughed "haha", laughed, and his face showed an extremely cruel color, "What are you going to do here?" It's unheard of to enter this Xianyou Cave and want to get out alive! I don't care what you hear or see, I only believe that the mouth of the dead is the tightest. ”

Seeing this, Ye Pei knew that it was irreversible, and shouted: "I am the adopted daughter of the Queen Mother, Lord Ye Pei, who dares to be rude to me?!" ”

She didn't do this to scare Ding Wei, but she wanted to tell Ding Wei the identity of the guards around him, if there was an official family in his mansion or an internal response placed by the Queen Mother, the news could also be revealed.

Who knew that Ding was vicious, and directly ordered: "Where did the little hairy girl dare to pretend to be the county lord?" It's just a thief! Come on, shoot the arrows! ”

Before the words fell, seven or eight guards squeezed into the Xianyou Cave and immediately began to fire arrows at Ye Pei.

Ye Pei danced the fish and dragon whip and used it as a shield to protect his body. However, no matter how big Ye Pei is, his two fists are hard to beat with four hands, and the fish and dragon whip has been dancing for a long time, and Ye Pei is always full of strength.

Ye Pei's heart was uneasy, his hands were non-stop, and his brain was flying. She jumped up suddenly, grabbed a protruding rock at the top of the cave, and shot a few poisonous needles at the guards, and someone immediately fell to the ground.

Next, Ye Pei fell and stepped in front of the stone statue of Taishang Laojun enshrined in the cave, and another tumble, and a few poisonous needles knocked down three or five guards.

Ye Pei climbed the candlestick, turned around, and a poisonous needle shot towards Ding Wei.

only heard a scream, and Ding Wei fell down.

Liu Demiao, who followed behind him, immediately shouted, "Save Xiangye, save Xiangye." ”

Other private guards outside the cave also swarmed in, some dragged Ding Wei out, and some attacked Ye Pei with long fists and short knives.

Ye Pei didn't know that the candlestick she was holding on was a mechanism, at this time, a guard stabbed with a long sword, Ye Pei flashed back, a stone door suddenly appeared behind Taishang Laojun, the stone door opened in response, Ye Pei couldn't retreat into the stone gate, but in an instant, the stone gate automatically closed again, leaving only a dozen guards in the Xianyou Cave looking at each other.

Liu Demiao couldn't take care of it anymore, just shouted, "This stone gate is tightly organized, and the people inside can't get out for a while, a few of you are guarding outside the cave, and the others are blocking the news in the house, and no one is allowed to leave the house." ”

When Ding Wei was carried to the inner room, Liu Demiao immediately ordered the doctor in the house to come over for diagnosis and treatment, and ordered someone to invite the eldest prince to come over and preside over the big event. Soon, Ding Wei's eldest son, Ding Heng, rushed to preside over the affairs of the house.

Not to mention the commotion up and down the Ding Mansion, it was only said that Ye Pei fell into the hole in the cave, and he was only frightened.

Behind the stone gate are more than a dozen steps, Ye Pei stepped on the air and used his waist to exert force, the "Eagle Harrier turned over" turned his face, and another "Yuxiang shallow bottom" was not fallen.

After Ye Pei landed on the ground, he opened the fire sickle and looked around, and he had to exclaim: "How can this day be so surprising!" ”

I saw that this place was more spacious than the Xianyou Cave above, dozens of steps wide, like a palace, but it was an underground palace, and there were no windows around.

However, the eaves of the house are golden tiles and the big pillars of the coiling dragon indicate that this is not an ordinary palace, Ye Pei approached and lit the candlesticks around with a fire sickle.

The palace is furthest away from Ye Pei's fall, there is a dragon hoop in front of it, there is a nine-dragon carved gold chair in front, the back is carved with two dragons grabbing pearl patterns, and the armrests are golden dragons out of the water, this big chair is the same as the dragon chair on the Daqing Palace.

"This is—" Ye Pei saw a folded dress on the table in front of the dragon chair again, and she shook it open to look at it.

This dark cyan dress is embroidered with twelve chapters such as the sun, the moon, the stars, the mountain, the dragon, and the Chinese insect, and there are gold and jade belts and knee-covering, ribbons and other things in the tray under the clothes, and a white jade bead is placed next to the clothes to wear into twelve "Pingtian Crowns".

"Emperor's crown!" Ye Pei threw his clothes on the table and retreated in fright.

"Ding Wei this guy has all these things ready!" Ye Pei clenched his fists tightly, leaned against a coiling dragon pillar behind him, and said in a panic.

Now how to go out is the primary problem, Ye Pei slowed down and began to think.

She looked around with a fish and dragon whip in her hand, and repeatedly knocked on the stone door she had just entered, trying to find the secret key, but the stone door could not be opened.

Ye Pei groped along the four walls little by little, trying to find other secret passages, but he didn't gain anything after working for a long time.

Ye Pei sat discouraged and rested by the stone door, waiting for someone to come in and then find a way to escape.
