"What about people?"

Changfeng rushed over with Jiuqingzi, and there was no trace of them in the bamboo forest for a long time, leaving only two broken nets swaying in the cold wind.

When Tao Yao woke up, it was pitch black all around, and her head ached, as if there were hundreds of insects eating her, she remembered that she and Xie Lan were hung in the air together, and then they were black and unconscious.

Where is this? What about Xie Lan?

Tao Yaoyao struggled to get up, when there was a slight wheezing sound around her, and she almost subconsciously reached out to touch the person next to her, "Xie Lan, are you next to you?" ”

At first, there was no movement next to him, Tao Yaoyao didn't like this environment very much, the movements in his hands were faster, and soon he touched a warm thing, and she was about to get closer to see what it was, when Xie Lan's voice came.

"Let go."

Tao Yaoyao was too nervous just now, she only felt that she had touched something hot, and she felt a sense of security in her heart, and she didn't think about what that thing was, and when she heard Xie Lan's voice, the whole person completely relaxed, and then she realized that something was wrong.

After leaning over to see what she was touching, she jerked her hand back.

"That...... I didn't mean to. It's too dark to see anything. Tao Yaoyao cursed and swore an oath, "I really don't mean to take advantage of you." ”

However, his face is really smooth and tender, and she is not as good as a woman.

I don't know how he takes care of it on weekdays.

After Xie Lan and others recovered some of their strength, he leaned against the wall to do a good job, his eyesight was better than Tao Yaoyao, but it was too dark around him, and the range he could see was not large, but he could still see what the specific place was from the only space.

"Wells."

No wonder her back was wet, they had been thrown into the well?

"It's not just a well, it looks like it's a well that has been abandoned for a long time." Xie Lan added.

If he guessed correctly, even if the people outside found out that they were missing, they were afraid that they would not be able to find this place for a while. But there wasn't much air in the dry well, and if they didn't find a way out as soon as possible, they were afraid that the two of them would die here.

The news of Tao Yaoyao and the king of Dingbei missing at the same time quickly spread throughout the harem, and the emperor did not react when he learned about it, but only said, "Even if the palace is turned over, you must find Mama Liu." ”

The people present were all smart people, and almost the moment the emperor finished speaking, they understood what the emperor meant.

However, they disappeared with Mama Liu, as long as Mama Liu is found, they should be able to be found.

"I really didn't expect that the inconspicuous old woman next to Concubine Li was still a ruthless character, but now Concubine Li is also in trouble."

Wang Meiren doesn't care about the life and death of Tao Yaoyao and Xie Lan, although she doesn't take Concubine Li in her eyes at all, but if Concubine Li dies, she won't even have to deal with her in the future, it's not bad to think about it.

After the second prince got the news, he went to Concubine Li's bedroom as soon as possible. At this time, Concubine Li also knew about Mama Liu, and she looked panicked and worried at this time. Seeing the second prince coming, as if he saw a savior, he rushed over and pulled his arm and asked what to do next?

"Your father must have known about this by now, what if he thinks that I am in a gang with Mama Liu and wants to kill me?"

It's just an ordinary thing, who doesn't know that His Majesty hates Miao Jiang the most, the key is that someone is still poisoning in the palace, and this murderer is still from her bedroom.

She now has ten mouths, and she probably can't tell.

"The mother concubine will go to the imperial study with her sons to ask her father for her guilt." Before coming, the second prince had already thought of a way, and now he pulled Concubine Li and walked out.

Concubine Li also knew that this was the best way now, so she hurriedly followed the second prince out.

Zhou Cairen was still fishing at night, seeing more and more people coming and going, she was depressed and packed her things and prepared to go back to the palace, who knew that as soon as she packed her things, she saw a black shadow flying in front of her, and then the person fainted.

Tao Yaoyao and Xie Lan sat in the dry well, thinking about how to escape, and suddenly the lid above the dry well was opened, and just when Tao Yaoyao thought that Mama Liu was going to come down to see them, the wellhead suddenly went dark, and then something fell from it.

Xie Lan was the first to react, reaching out to pull her, and then he heard a thud, and a person fell in front of them.

Immediately afterwards, the dry well was covered, and the well again became invisible.

"Who is this?" Tao Yaoyao squatted down, looked closer for a while, and didn't see who this person was.

Xie Lan knew him and said softly, "Zhou Cairen." ”

Zhou Cairen? Why is this name so familiar, by the way, the right envoy said before that it was she who first discovered that something was wrong with Mama Liu, so they found the bee house.

So, Mama Liu arrested her in order to take revenge on her?

There was less oxygen in the dry well, but now there is one more person, and their time is even shorter. Tao Yaoyao looked at Xie Lan without tears, "Is it a disagreement between me and the palace, why is it not good every time I come over." ”

In this regard, Xie Lan didn't know how to comfort her.

"My internal strength has been sealed, this dry well is very deep, and we shouldn't be able to go up on our own. We can only wait for them to find us now. ”

But this place is very remote without thinking about it, but I am afraid that when they come, they will be suffocated.

Tao Yaoyao didn't like to sit still, after hesitating for a while, she stood up and touched the wall to investigate the situation in the well, she always had a sense that Mama Liu didn't want them to die.

If her guess was correct, then there must be a way out of the dry well.

The dry well is very large, the feet are full of silt, and it is very laborious to walk, Tao Yaoyao feels that he has walked for a long time, but when he looks down, he only walks four or five steps on weekdays.

"Lord Wang, otherwise, you and I will look for it." At this point, she was already having trouble breathing, and she feared that she would be suffocated before she could find an exit.

Anyway, he is idle, and it is better to move, than to sit here and wait for death.

Xie Lan didn't refute, behind him, from the other side of Tao Yaoyao began to search, the two of them looked for it faster than before, just when Tao Yaoyao felt that victory was in sight, she suddenly touched a fluffy thing, looked down to see what it was, but it was against the mouse on the wall.

At that moment, Tao Yaoyao felt creepy, and in the next second, she jumped onto Xie Lan. The mouth shouted, "Mouse." Xie Lan, there are rats. ”

Xie Lan glanced at where she had been, then took out a small piece of broken silver from her waist and hit the mouse, and soon heard the mouse bark twice, and then there was no movement.

"You can come down, it's dead."

Tao Yaoyao didn't believe it, and hugged it tighter, "You take me over to have a look." ”

Xie Lan was amused by her scoundrel, and it could be seen that she was trembling all over, and she didn't say anything more. So he took her by the arm, walked over slowly, stood in front of the mouse, and said in a deep voice, "Look down, and you can see it." ”

Tao Yaoyao carefully probed, moving a little bit every time, and the cautious look was funny.

Tao Yaoyao didn't think that she was looking out with the greatest courage now, if it wasn't for the urgency of the situation now, she wouldn't say anything to personally determine whether the rat was alive or dead.

After finally seeing the dead tiger on the ground, she was frightened again.

"You...... Why are you so heavy. "That rat was covered in blood, just lying in you, the mud around it was stained red with its blood, and Tao Yaoyao didn't want to go down a little.

Xie Lan saw his thoughts, let go of his hand and pulled the person down, Tao Yaoyao hugged his neck and refused to let go.

"Lord Wang, if you feel uncomfortable holding me, you can carry me on your back. I'm light. But he just wouldn't come down.

Xie Lan laughed directly this time, "Tao Yaoyao, men and women don't kiss, aren't you in a hurry to get married?" If people know that you are hugging this king, can you still get married? ”

If it were on weekdays, Tao Yaoyao would still care about a little face, but now, his life is gone, what is his reputation, what is it?

"It's not that I don't want to go down, I'm just scared. Otherwise, you carry me to the side, and as long as I can't see the corpse of the mouse, I'll come down." After speaking, he was afraid that Xie Lan would not believe it, so he raised his hand and promised, "If I lie, let me ......"

"Remember what you say." Xie Lan interrupted her and carried her to the next place. Waiting for Xie Lan to put her down, he turned around and went to the place where Tao Yaoyao was standing just now, that is, the position of the dead mouse.

Tao Yaoyao subconsciously wanted to say something, but when the words came to his mouth, he felt as if he was a hypocritical person.

"If this king cared about these people, he would have died I don't know how many times." Xie Lan probably saw his thoughts, said this, and then lowered his head and continued to look for an exit.

Zhang Jing and Xiao Shuo almost turned the harem over and did not find the whereabouts of Tao Yaoyao and King Dingbei, seeing that it was about to dawn, the two were worried.

Jiu Qingzi followed Xiao Shuo and suddenly thought of a place.

"Let's go, let's go to the Autumn Frost Courtyard."

Qiushuang Courtyard, it is said that the former emperor used to be very favored by a concubine lived in the palace, but the concubine went at a young age, after his death, the first emperor was very sad, and later let people seal this courtyard.

No one has entered the Autumn Frost Courtyard for many years, but there are still guards guarding the courtyard outside, which is why Xiao Shuo did not suspect this place.

But now that Jiu Qingzi was walking over there with a strange expression, Xiao Shuo didn't say his guess.

Now that the left and right are like this, find one more place, maybe there will be a glimmer of hope.

"Lord Xiao, the emperor has ordered that no one is allowed to trespass on the Autumn Frost Courtyard." The guards stopped them.

"This is His Majesty's order, do you want to resist the order?" Xiao Shuo frowned, and the guards were embarrassed, "Lord Xiao doesn't know, even if it is Your Majesty here, he can't do it, this is the emperor's will before he died." ”

"What do you mean?" Xiao Shuo really didn't know about it.

At this time, Jiu Qingzi, who had been standing next to him, stepped forward, "They are right, before the death of the former emperor, they decreed that no one is allowed to enter here without permission except for the British king, even the current majesty." ”

The guard nodded, "That's right. If the King of England had agreed to let you in, his subordinates would not have embarrassed you, but the King of England has been missing for many years......"

Jiu Qingzi took out a token from his waist and handed it over, the guard didn't pay much attention to it at first, and only after seeing the words on it did he take a closer look at the sloppy uncle in front of him.

Then they remembered the rumors in the palace a few days ago, and their faces suddenly changed greatly. Then he knelt down and saluted, "My subordinates participate in the king." ”

"Get up."

With Jiu Qingzi's token, they successfully entered the Autumn Frost Courtyard, Xiao Shuo was looking at him all the way, and after Jiu Qingzi was uncomfortable by him, he spoke, "Even if you are curious, now is not the time to talk about this." ”

Xiao Shuo nodded, he was just too surprised. Unexpectedly, the King of England, who has been missing for many years, is not only still alive, but also has become a famous hero.

"Hasn't this palace been abandoned for many years? Why is it so clean and tidy, it's like ......" Changfeng was surprised.

"It's like someone lives here, doesn't it?" Jiuqingzi took his words and looked around, thinking that he would never set foot in this place again in his life, but he didn't expect that he would come back one day.

Although the imperial brother has changed a lot, he has not ruined this place, which is rare.

"Let's find someone. At the moment, this is the only place in the entire palace that has not been found. Mama Liu can't get out of the palace, and it is most likely that she is hiding here. ”

Jiu Qingzi did not follow these people to find people, but sat in the courtyard, admiring the moon and scenery, and more reminiscing about the past.

This is where he grew up and the happiest time of his life. After many years of separation, I thought that everything had changed, but this place is the same as before.

It was as if the concubine was still reading in the house, drinking tea, and then waiting for him to go back.

My father was still in the imperial study. He was still that carefree child.

But Zhang Jing's voice quickly pulled him back to reality.

"Senior, we found footprints next to the well in front."

Zhang actually came over to tell the guards, and the guards lifted the manhole cover over there. By the time they had passed, there were already guards who had gone down to check on them. Only, there's nothing underneath.

"No way. There are obviously footprints here, and it seems that the footprints have not been left for a long time. So there must be someone here, and you should bring someone to find it immediately. ”

After the guards left, Zhang actually squatted down and circled the well, and said with great certainty, "I smelled the smell in the beehouse." Miss Tao said that this is the smell of Gu worms, so Mama Liu must have been here. ”

At this time, the guards who came down later came up from the well. Also brought a message.

"There was a dead rat in the well, and it didn't look like it was sick or drowned." The guards brought the rat up, and after taking it over and looking at it carefully, she said happily, "This was killed by someone." ”

Unlike the rat that was killed by a human being, the rat's eyes were wide open and obviously frightened. And there is a visible scar on the stomach, which is also a fatal injury.

But how could a rat that hid in a dry well all year round be killed, unless...... Someone was in the well, and the rats scared them. That's when he was killed.

So, Tao Yaoyao had been under the well before.

At this time, another guard came up and said, "There are footprints below, and my subordinates have also picked up a piece of broken silver." ”
