Ling Zhiqiao also struggled to stand up, because of the pain in her left wrist, she could only use her elbow instead, and the skin was already worn out.

She looked at the gradually open space around her, the walls were still full of dirt, and Ling Zhiqiao said to Jin Gui'er, "Let's go further, and when there is no dirt, we should be almost at the exit." ”

The secret passages under this palace were all built by Ling Ge Lao back then, whether they were repaired or not, they all had air eyes and did not have to worry about insufficient oxygen.

The little eunuch Jin Gui'er held Ling Zhiqiao's injured arm, looking nervous, and walked forward next to her, her eyes still looking back and forth, left and right from time to time.

Ling Zhiqiao didn't care about finding the exit of the secret passage, and when she saw him like that, she couldn't help but want to laugh: "I said Jin Gui'er, you don't have to be so afraid!" ”

"If there are really any demons and monsters in this secret passage, it is estimated that it is not you who will be scared away!"

"Who's that?" Jin Gui'er stared at Ling Zhiqiao's big eyes, and winked at Ling Zhiqiao, if Ling Zhiqiao hadn't known that he was Jin Gui'er, she would definitely be scared half to death by him.

Jin Gui'er is really like a rejuvenating rice dumpling now, her hair is tied up on the top of her head indiscriminately, and her face is covered with nosebleeds just now, mixed with the black stinky water from the well, and then covered with dust in the dark passage.

Ling Zhiqiao didn't look around, she also felt a little cautious.

"Miss Ling, what do you say? Who was scared away? "How did Jin Gui'er know how terrifying he looked now, and he still leaned towards Ling Zhiqiao's side one by one.

"Jin Gui'er, from now until you wash your face, don't let me see your face, just your image now, whether it is a human or an animal, you have to be scared away.

If you go back in your face, I can't promise I won't hit you. ”

Jin Gui'er touched his face and smelled his body again, and the way he pouted was even more terrifying.

He said with a crying voice: "Am I as scary as Miss Ling said?" I jumped to save you, and it hurts my heart so much that you're doing this! ”

Jin Gui'er was about to cry when he said that, but he still held Ling Zhiqiao's injured hand, in fact, he was holding it, it was better to say that he was hanging on Ling Zhiqiao's arm to find comfort!

Ling Zhiqiao said helplessly: "If you can wipe your face clean with your tears, then you can cry hard, if you can't wipe it clean, then you will only be more scary." ”

Jin Guier immediately stopped crying, of course he didn't have so many tears!

Ling Zhiqiao laughed secretly in her heart, this trick really worked, she was going to be laughed to death by this little eunuch, and after walking for about a long time, they walked into a small room surrounded by stone walls.

Facing them, there are three rows of upper and lower stones, each with a total of 10 holes, and in each hole there is an everlasting lamp burning!

The little eunuch Jin Gui'er let go of Ling Zhiqiao's arm and walked forward, and just as he was about to reach out to touch the everlasting light in one of the holes, Ling Zhiqiao drank him.

"Don't move! If you make one mistake, we will never be able to get out again, and then we will really become ghosts. Jin Gui'er was so frightened that she immediately retracted her hand and ran back to Ling Zhiqiao.

"Miss Ling, hurry up and think of a way, how can we get out?"

"Don't talk, let me think about it" Ling Zhiqiao closed her eyes and searched for the memories of the original owner, and the dense symbols in her mind began to overlap again.

It took a while for her to determine how to solve this mechanism, and according to the direction where it fell, Ling Zhiqiao judged that the exit of this secret passage should be the location of the cold palace marked by Ling Ge Lao!

Ling Zhiqiao thought in her heart, it's just that this cold palace is located in the southeast remote part of the palace, and she doesn't know if it's still where the cold palace is now!

As for why he made a secret passage to the cold palace, Ling Zhiqiao had no way of knowing, presumably even Ling Ge Lao might not know what the purpose of each secret passage mechanism he cultivated was, probably only His Majesty the Emperor knew.

Ling Zhiqiao opened her eyes and said to Jin Gui'er: "Jin Gui'er, listen up, take out the lamp with both hands as I said, blow it out and put it back in its original state." ”

Jin Gui'er nodded solemnly and said, "Don't worry! Miss Ling, tell me which one to take, and I'll take which? ”

Ling Zhiqiao nodded: "You need to blow out a total of six lights, and there are two lights on each horizontal row that need to be blown out." ”

Take the third lamp in the left hand of the bottom row first, you stand in that position first, we confirm it at the same time, you take it down again, remember to hold it with both hands. ”

Jin Gui'er walked to the position of the lamp that Ling Zhiqiao said, and pointed back.

Ling Zhiqiao nodded: "Yes, that's the one, just do what I say now." ”

Jin Gui'er used a speed slower than a turtle, and took the lamp with both hands very slowly, probably because he was afraid in his heart and his breath was not very stable, but the puff was not blown out, and he was just about to look up at Ling Zhiqiao with a sad face.

"Don't look at me, blow it out with all your might, and if you don't blow it out with the second breath, you and I will die." Ling Zhiqiao scared Jin Gui'er.

Jin Gui'er hurriedly faced the ever-bright lamp again, he puffed up his cheeks and blew it out in one breath, and then respectfully put it back to the position of the hole.

When they blew out the last lamp, the wall of holes burning with the lantern suddenly split in two and moved to both sides.

The little eunuch Jin Gui'er ran quickly and hid behind Ling Zhiqiao, and when the wall moved left and right to the end, a passage with steps was revealed inside.

Jin Gui'er said happily: "Miss Ling, it's really an exit!" ”

Ling Zhiqiao also let out a sigh and said, "Let's go!" Be quiet, don't know what's going on above? ”

"Miss Ling, where is this?" Jin Guier asked.

"If that's right, this should be the location of the cold palace, do you know the cold palace? It should be a little remotely southeast of the palace. ”

As the two of them walked up the steps, Jin Gui'er whispered, "Of course I know about the cold palace, but she is not in the southeast of the palace. ”

"I heard the old eunuch say that since His Majesty the Emperor ascended the throne and the Empress was canonized, the people who were locked up in the cold palace before were given Bai Aya to be executed."

And now in the harem, there are few concubines, and the queen can't tolerate a few people, she can't get all His Majesty's concubines to the cold palace!

However, the queen said that this cold palace is on the same axis as her Fengluan Palace, which is particularly unlucky, and then she sent someone to get rid of the people in the cold palace.

"So that's the case, so according to what you say, there should be no one up there?"

"In principle, that's how it should be." Jin Guier finally has something to show off.

Ling Zhiqiao smiled and said, "I hope the above is what you think in principle." ”

Jin Gui'er helped Ling Zhiqiao step by step to the top of the stairs, and at the end of the stairs was a door, which was a sliding door and was not locked.

Ling Zhiqiao motioned to Jin Gui to be quieter and not to make a big move, Jin Guier nodded in understanding, and he pushed the side of the sliding door to the right little by little.

Inch by inch, Jin Gui'er pushed the door, and Ling Zhiqiao observed the movement in the door, fortunately, behind this door was like a room with miscellaneous items, which was full of useless things, and a room of decay and dilapidation.

Ling Zhiqiao and Jin Gui both entered the room with their hands on their noses, and closed the sliding door again.

Jin Gui'er tiptoed around the room to observe, and there was nothing useful! Jin Gui'er waved her hand at Ling Zhiqiao and pointed to the door of the house, meaning that we should open this door.

Ling Zhiqiao nodded in agreement, Jin Gui'er walked to the door of the room, and then gently pushed it open a little bit, until finally it was all pushed open, and waved her hand at Ling Zhiqiao.

When Ling Zhiqiao pushed the door for Jin Gui'er, she picked up a white board casually, measured it and measured it to be about the same width as her arm, she took out a cuff around her waist and tied the white wooden board with embroidery, and tied the injured wrist with embroidery, along with her arms and palms, so as to play a fixed role.

This small white board is both sturdy and smooth, and after Jiang Wanqing got it, Jin Guier was waving at her.

They entered the second room, which seemed much cleaner than the previous one, but it was still full of useless things.

Jin Gui'er pointed to the door of the second room again, this time Ling Zhiqiao shook her head, and she said softly: "The houses in this palace can't be one by one, the outside of this door should be the courtyard!" ”

Ling Zhiqiao walked into Jin Gui'er, who was standing at the door, and said, "You look outside through the crack in the door, is there anything abnormal?" ”

Jin Gui'er lay on the crack of the door, looked at it and said, "There is no shadow of a person in the courtyard." ”

"It's right if no one is right, if it's all people, it's not normal."

Besides, it's broad daylight now, just the two of us are dressed now, a gray face, a person who is not a ghost or a ghost, don't look at me when I fight with Nangong Ying, no one sees it, if the two of us appear, we may be seen, and it will be difficult to become famous. ”

"Miss Ling, what do you want me to say From the day the crown princess was selected, I, Jin Guier, decided to follow Miss Ling."

Ling Zhiqiao glanced at Jin Gui'er and said, "Then I don't think you have a good eye!" I wasn't chosen as the crown princess. ”

Miss Ling, I'll tell you the truth, on the day of the selection of the crown princess, I really thought that you could be selected, so I thought about being courteous to you, so that I could get a good errand for Jin Gui'er in the future.

But since you brought me delicious food last time, I was moved, and I decided that no matter whether the girl was selected or not, I would play for Miss Ling.

Ling Zhiqiao was just about to continue, but suddenly thought that something was wrong, and changed her words: "Jin Gui'er, didn't we just discuss whether to go out or not to go out?" Why is it that the selection of the crown princess is discussed again,"

"Yes, yes, yes, it's a bit off-topic, so what should we do next, Miss Ling?"

Let's take a break in this room and see that it's probably getting dark outside, and wait until it's dark before going out, so that no one notices us.

I know a secret place to leave the palace, and when the time comes, when I go out from there, you will go back to your chore. In the near future, the father-in-law will send someone to go.

"No problem, since the girls are all arranged, we will wait here until it gets dark! And then go back."

Jin Gui'er found a relatively clean place in the corner of the room, cleaned it up again, helped Ling Zhiqiao sit down, and the other person felt that the bones in his body seemed to be falling apart.
