Xiao Yuehuai clearly remembers:

In the early autumn of the fifth year of Chongyuan, not long after she and Lu Pingsheng got married, there was a flood in Qingzhou. Qin Shenghan, the head of the household, was ordered by Emperor Zhou to go to the flood relief site, but encountered a flash flood and mudslide on the way, which delayed the release of disaster relief silver.

Later, the theft of the treasury silver was unfavorable for disaster relief, and the news reached Jinling, and Qin Shenghan was held accountable and escorted back to Beijing to await trial. At this critical juncture, Qin Shenghan's father, Qin Tiancong, the left servant, was accused of corruption and bribery.

The Qin Mansion was seized by the Criminal Department, and all the children of the Qin family were temporarily removed from their official positions.

After investigation, it was found that Qin Tiancong's study did hide official silver from all over the world, and the crime of corruption was confirmed. So the whole Qin clan was convicted, the adult gentlemen were imprisoned to be beheaded, and the girls were imprisoned in the inner court to wait for their fate.

Qin Tiancong has been honest and honest all his life, and he has been thinking about the people in a down-to-earth manner in everything he does, and has outstanding political achievements. Xiao Yuehuai didn't believe that the Old Lady Qin Guild would do such a scandalous thing that damaged the lintel and buried the whole clan.

At that time, she had not been placed under house arrest by Lu's father and son, so she took advantage of the opportunity for the Criminal Department and Dali Temple to verify the case again, under the pretext of visiting her father, and returned to the palace accompanied by Lu Pingsheng.

That night, while her father and Lu Pingsheng were discussing the affairs of the palace, she stayed in the Changqing Palace, coaxed and stole the warrant of the queen mother, sneaked into the inner prison, and secretly released Qin E from the prison.

Qin E, the daughter of the Qin family, is Xiao Yuehuai's close friend, who has been reading and learning calligraphy together since childhood, and has a good relationship.

This woman is smart and witty, and quite a city government. Xiao Yuehuai thought that there would always be a glimmer of hope to save the Qin family if she was released.

However, not long after Qin E escaped from prison in her previous life, she was killed on the spot by Lu Pingsheng's eyeliner, and she was insulted and raped before her death.

Her best friend died tragically, and she failed to save the lives of the entire Qin family, watching the execution of the Lang Jun and the burial of the girls.

Reliving a lifetime, Xiao Yue was thinking about the situation, and immediately pulled Ah Lu to the place where Qin E was arrested in the previous life.

The moonlight is thick. At the base of the palace wall, the two little girls ran quickly with their footsteps and came to the path of the apse of the Changqing Palace.

Ah Lu stopped panting, sweating slightly: "Princess... What are we doing here? ”

Xiao Yuehuai quickly covered her mouth and lowered her voice, "Be quieter." ”

Just when Ah Lu was puzzled, there was a commotion at the end of the path, and the forbidden army patrolling the palace was noisy, as if discussing the change of guard. Not far away, next to the water pier, a figure flashed by and hid behind the rockery on the side path.

Xiao Yuehuai saw this scene, and while paying attention to the movements of the forbidden army, she moved her steps and jumped into the grass next to the rockery.

The man hiding seemed to hear something, and when he looked out, he was jerked out by a hand.

The man was frightened and was about to fight with his hands, but Xiao Yuehuai grabbed his wrist hard.

"Woo! It's me. ”

Qin E trembled and turned her head to look, and couldn't help but be taken aback: "Princess? You... Didn't I knock you out? ”

Xiao Yuehuai didn't have time to explain to her, her expression was solemn and her eyes were sharp, and she just said three words: "Don't speak." ”

As soon as the words fell, two little eunuchs walked on the verandah leading to the side, looking around and looking around, who seemed to be palace guards on duty at night. At this moment, the moonlight happened to fall, reflecting on their sleeves, reflecting a faint cold light.

It's a knife!

The three of them looked more closely, and they found that the two little eunuchs walked with unusual steps, and they couldn't hear a sound, and they didn't look like ordinary palace people at all.

Seeing that they were about to approach, Xiao Yuehuai's heart rose to her throat.

At first glance, these two people are people with deep internal strength, and although their hiding place is hidden, the sound of breathing is heavy, and those who practice martial arts can quickly detect it.

Xiao Yuehuai glanced down at Qin E beside her, and saw that the clothes she was wearing were silver silk robes dyed with smoke and ink, so she had a plan. She moved quickly, tore off Qin E's robe and draped it on, removed her hair bun, combed a man's crown at will, and threw her to the ground.

Ah Lu on the side was stunned when he saw this scene, like a stone standing in the corner, motionless.

Qin E was surprised at first when she saw the princess like this, but within a few seconds, she reacted and cooperated with her to act.

The two were very close, Xiao Yuehuai supported her body, pricked up her ears to listen to the movement, faintly felt a cool breeze blowing, and immediately sat up vigilantly, the whole person just covered Qin E, leaving only half of the cold water cage smoke robe outside.

The thin clouds and light fog linger, the girl's hair is messy, her clothes are untidy, her red lips and rouge are slightly dissolved, and a pair of phoenix eyes are frivolous and charming, as if she has just passed the clouds and rain, and at this moment she is panting and resting, and the picture is extremely fragrant.

This scene happened to fall into the eyes of the two eunuchs who heard the sound, and they were stunned for a while.

The good thing was broken, the girl's eyes lit up, burst out with a strong sense of killing, and a knife flew over, shouting: "Where did you come from? Dare to disturb the princess's Yaxing? ”

The eunuch carefully identified it, and by the dim light, he saw the girl's face clearly, and her complexion changed greatly.

"Huaicheng... Huaicheng Princess? ”

The moment they made a sound, Xiao Yuehuai immediately ordered: "Ah Lu! Call someone in, tie them up and throw them into the Jinwu River! ”

When the little eunuchs heard this, they all looked towards the side path, and faintly heard the footsteps of the forbidden army, so they did not dare to linger any longer, and hurriedly turned around and galloped away.

It wasn't until the rockery fell completely silent that Xiao Yuehuai was sure that they had left, and the tense nerves in his body were also relaxed.

She was still riding on Qin E's lap, and when she woke up, she heard the little girl under her say helplessly: "Huaicheng... Haven't you pressed enough? ”

Xiao Yuehuai bounced up instantly, looked at Qin E's crying and laughing expression, and twitched the corners of her mouth in embarrassment: "Don't mind it, don't do that..."

Before she finished speaking, Qin E cut off softly: "I know, you don't have to explain." ”

"If you hadn't shown up, I'd have been arrested and sent back to prison again."

"Huaicheng... Sorry. I don't want to hurt you, I don't want you to be dragged down by me. Wound on the forehead... Does it hurt? ”

Qin E said a lot of words in one breath, leaning over to see the wound on the princess's forehead, but she caught her hand.

Xiao Yuehuai: "I know what you're thinking, I'm fine." There is not much time left for us, and now is not the time to care for each other. Someone stalked me... Know that I have secretly released you from prison. ”

"Those two eunuchs should be killers. If they can't find you somewhere else, they'll react right away. You need to get out of the palace quickly. ”

Qin E clenched her palms, her eyes cold: "... The palace gate has been locked, the forbidden army is heavily guarded, how can we escape the palace without censorship? I wanted to hide all night, and tomorrow I pretended to go out of the palace to buy in the guise of Xiao Gong'e. But now that someone has noticed your whereabouts, I'm afraid that my escape from prison will not be hidden tonight, and if the palaces strengthen their patrols, I will be exposed before dawn..."

Xiao Yuehuai pondered for a moment: "I have a way, but... Have to endure some hardships. ”
