Volume 2 Northern Xinjiang Chapter 117 Still alive
Jiang Dou's impotent rage after Xue Zhen fainted to death spread far away in the rain, but no one knew about it.
And in the underground tunnel not far away, Li Yuejiao, who was holding a wet cloak, hunched her waist and followed behind Chen Sanniang blankly, only feeling like in a dream.
"Mrs. Chen." She tried to call out, only to hear the woman in front of her reply impatiently before it felt a little real.
"Why is Mrs. Chen here?" She asked.
Chen Sanniang held the fire fold, although she was impatient, but walked very slowly, to ensure that Li Yuejiao could keep up with her.
But she still disliked her for talking too much, rolled her eyes and said:
"I don't know, maybe I'm sick, but I actually gave you a word for Xue Zhen and gave you my life."
Li Yuejiao felt her hostility, and was not angry, but said gently: "Thank you Chen Niangzi for saving me." β
"......" Chen Sanniang was speechless for a while.
Why wasn't she angry?
It seems that she is very careful.
"Hmph." She let out a disdainful sigh and turned a corner, and there was a stone wall in front of her, which seemed to be a dead end.
But Chen Sanniang knocked on the wall and found the bulge hidden in the corner, and I don't know in what order she pressed it ten times, and the wall suddenly loosened.
It turned out to be a thick-walled stone gate that could be turned.
After passing the stone gate, in front of a three-way cave entrance, the top of the tunnel was also higher than the front, so that the two women, who were not short, could barely stand up.
Chen Sanniang held the fire fold and looked left and right, pointed to a fairly clean place and said to Li Yuejiao:
"Wait."
She stared at Li Yuejiao by the light of the fire, and reminded rather maliciously: "But Madame, be careful, there is everything underground, mice, spiders, maybe there are-"
She suddenly pointed to Li Yuejiao's feet and said:
"Where's the snake!"
Li Yuejiao shuddered at the last of her loud voices, but she didn't look afraid, she just glanced at her suspiciously, then put the cloak in her hand on the ground and sat down.
Chen Sanniang didn't scare her, pouted, and sat cross-legged opposite.
The cloak was wet, and Li Yuejiao's body was also soaked with rain, and in this dark dark passage, it was so cold that it seemed to be in an ice cellar.
She hugged herself tightly and shrunk into a ball, hid the bag that Xue Zhen gave her in her arms, the closest to her heart, and said to her very seriously:
"Mrs. Chen doesn't have to worry, there won't be snakes in here."
Chen Sanniang was choked by her sincere tone: "What? β
"The walls of the cave are rubbed with medicine made of heavy grass, and the smell of sulfur, all of which are snake-proof." She whispered, "So there won't be snakes." β
Chen Sanniang was even more uncomfortable, and after a while, she said, "You know a lot." β
Li Yuejiao's forehead was handed to her knees, and she said in a muffled voice: "My father is a doctor, and I have learned from him." β
It's just that now her father's life and death are uncertain, and Xue Zhen has also been arrested, and she is at a loss as to what to do next.
Calm down, Li Yuejiao, she shouted her name in her heart, think about it, what else do you mean?
She wanted to open the bag, but Chen Sanniang was by her side, and she couldn't trust her very much.
Chen Sanniang took the time to look at her single figure shrunk into a ball, waiting for her to cry, waiting for her to ask herself questions.
However, after waiting for half a cup of tea, the woman opposite only buried her face in her knees and said nothing.
Just as she had just commanded: wait.
Chen Sanniang couldn't help it first, and asked, "Don't you have anything to ask me?" β
Li Yuejiao didn't look at her, but said, "Since the prince asked you to save me, then I'll follow you." β
Of course, that kind of affirmation.
ββ¦β¦ Ha," Chen Sanniang didn't know if the person in front of him was naΓ―ve or what, "You are really...... I'm crazy. β
She rubbed her temples.
"I will listen to him and take care of you such a waste, and participate in these shitty things."
Li Yuejiao still didn't care about her belittling, but looked at her and said tiredly:
"Mrs. Chen is willing to participate, but it is just for the sake of her mother's heart. Whether it's the eldest princess or the Marquis of Anyang's mansion, keep the wealth of today, only (this chapter is not finished!) )
Chapter 117: Still Alive
It can make your child's life better. β
Chen Sanniang was hit by what she said, and glared at her viciously: "Are you threatening me?" Heh, hand you over, even if Xue Zhen dies, I can change him with a good backer. β
"Oh, really?" Li Yuejiao was powerless to argue with her, her forehead pressed against her knees again, and she continued to think about a way out.
Chen Sanniang was ignored by her, angry and helpless.
She was just dissatisfied with Xue Zhen entrusting her with an oil bottle, so she didn't even want to tell Li Yuejiao what Xue Zhen had confessed.
The people in Hengzhi City will have to wait a little longer before they can come and take them into the city, so it is better for her to take the opportunity to play tricks and bully people.
It's good to be able to cry Li Yuejiao angrily.
But at this time, she was surprised by her cleverness and composure.
In fact, they all know that unless Xue Zhen has a character like that, no one will give shelter to a foreign child of unknown origin.
Even relying on the child to use himself, he still gave her the opportunity to choose a way to live.
Chen Sanniang let out a sullen breath: "You really don't know where we are now?" β
Li Yuejiao shook her head.
"Of these three caves, one leads to the Imperial Immortal Garden, one leads to the outer city of the capital, and one leads to the Imperial City." Chen Sanniang pointed to the three cave entrances, "He said that the mechanisms, paths, traps, etc. of this tunnel were all designed by your maternal great-grandfather, what is the secret of their Xiao royal family, you really don't know?" β
Maternal great-grandfather built it?
Li Yuejiao finally raised her head again, looked at the entrance of the three black holes, and remembered the mechanism that Chen Sanniang pressed when she entered the stone gate before.
I see.
She suddenly felt that this place was not so eerie.
"I haven't heard of it." She shook her head and said, "Shizi didn't tell me that you would come and pick me up when I got here." β
Chen Sanniang sighed: "Then forget about it, that person in Xue Zhen is very careful, after we finish, he will definitely let people bury this road." β
It is said that there are many entrances, and it is not bad for that one.
She smiled provocatively at Li Yuejiao again: "Only I am not a person from Dazhao, Xue Zhen should guard against me, why is he still guarding against you?" β
Li Yuejiao ignored her provocation and lowered her head again to think about things.
Chen Sanniang pursed her lips boringly, and suddenly asked, "Xue Zhen gave a purse, right?" Why don't you open it and take a look? β
Li Yuejiao paused, and when she looked at her again this time, her eyes finally became a little wary.
Chen Sanniang watched her gaze change, but became happy, and then raised her eyebrows arrogantly, and said slowly:
"Madame doesn't know, does she? Your father is still alive and in prison. β
Li Yuejiao's expression of joy and sadness finally cracked, revealing a stunned look.
Chen Sanniang admired her expression, and her mood was better.
"Your emperor is still alive, at least still breathing, not dead; And your crown prince is under house arrest in the Imperial Immortal Garden," her expression became even more arrogant, "I only arrived half a day earlier than you, and Xue Zhen only asked me to inquire about the news of these three people." It was also Xue Zhen who told me that as long as I heard that your majesty was not dead, I would tell you a word. β
