The next morning, Lingyun went to say good morning to her mother as usual. When passing by the corridor, I saw that the lotus flowers in the pond were blooming just right, and the breeze was swaying slightly, just like when I first met the old man.

Lingyun fell into memories and smiled: "Like the moon, like stars, do you remember that a few years ago, we often secretly took a boat to pick fresh lotus pods to eat." ”

"Of course I do. Ruxing smiled: "Once the boat accidentally capsized, and the young lady fell into the pool, the master was furious when he found out, and he never allowed us to get close half a step again." The lotus pods I ate later were all secretly picked by Brother Shunliang......" Ruxing was halfway through speaking, realizing that he was quick to speak, and quickly lowered his head.

"Yes, since he left home, I don't think it's interesting to eat lotus seeds anymore. Lingyun's eyes dimmed.

"If Miss wants to take this bite, I'll ask the family to go down and pick it. Ruyue stepped forward and reminded in a low voice: "It's just this person's name, Miss don't mention it again, lest the master know it and ...... again."

"Ruyue, I know you're good for me. Lingyun looked at the pond full of emerald lotus canopy and smiled: "I haven't eaten it for a few years, but I think about it very much." Ruxing, you are good at crafting, help me go to the small kitchen to make a bowl of lotus seed soup. ”

"Yes, miss. Ruxing bowed down and made a blessing, and happily went to find the family to pick the lotus pod.

When Ruxing turned to leave, Lingyun tugged at Ruyue's sleeve. Ruyue understood and walked back to the room with her.

"Miss deliberately branched out like a star, but you have something to say to me alone?" asked Ruyue.

"You know?"

"Since Yang Shunliang left, Miss is no longer willing to drink lotus seed soup. What you're going to say today is also related to him, right?" Ruyue gently patted Lingyun's shoulder: "Miss, although I entered the mansion late, I have been with you for so many years, and I can understand your mind to some extent." ”

"Ruyue, I called you alone today to ask you to do me a favor. Lingyun thought about it for a long time, and told her the plan they had made with Wen Ash.

Ruyue shook her head in fright, and knelt down with a plop: "Miss, I know that you have a deep affection for Yang Shunliang, but I must not watch you take this risk." ”

"Ruyue, when I was with him back then, you helped cover a lot. Now you should help me one last time, okay?" Lingyun took her hand, and his tone was almost pleading, "You are calm and wise, and you are my most trusted confidant. If I fail this time, I will resign myself to my fate, and I will listen to my father no matter who I want me to marry. ”

Ruyue's face turned pale, she bit her lower lip, and it took a long time before she came to her senses: "How does Miss want me to help...... I did my best. ”

Lingyun smiled with tears of relief: "Tonight is like a starry night, you and her will change shifts." At three o'clock, I will quietly walk through the secret passage. Although Ruxing and you are twins, they are timid and can't hide things. Don't let her know about this plan. ”

"Don't worry, Miss, I'll keep it a secret. It's just ......" Ruyue frowned and said, "I've been in the Sun Palace for so many years, and I've never heard of a secret passage, are you sure it works?"

"It works. The dry well in the backyard is a tunnel covered with hay that leads to the outskirts of the city. Lingyun held her hand: "There are few guards in the backyard, and I need you to help me lure them away when the time comes." ”

"Good. Ruyue Ying agreed, frowning and worried: "Miss, are those people who helped you really reliable? ”

"It's a gamble. Lingyun smiled bitterly: "Except for them, no one else dares to help me." ”

When she arrived, Lingyun quietly turned over and got out of bed, and Ruyue handed her the luggage she had packed earlier. The two of them walked out of the room with bated breath, the moonlight filling the hallway, and all the guards on the side of the road fell asleep.

"What's wrong with them?" Lingyun said in surprise.

"Just now, I gave them Menghan medicinal wine on the grounds that the feast was over, and the old man rewarded everyone for their hard work. However, I am afraid of arousing suspicion, so I will start lightly, this medicine will only have an hour, and please hurry up. ”

"Good. Lingyun replied.

When she arrived at the dry well, Ruyue looked at the bottom of the well repeatedly, measured the strength of the rope, and said with tears: "Miss, be careful." If something happens to you, Ruxing and I won't be able to live. ”

"Rest assured. Lingyun solemnly held her hand, his eyes red: "You should go back quickly." It's late at night, and it's hard to explain it when you're seen. ”

"Good. Ruyue answered. Lingyun grabbed the rope and jumped straight to the bottom of the well.

There was an exclamation behind him, Ruyue turned around, and saw Ruxing standing in the corridor, already stunned.

"Miss!" Ruxing threw herself to the well and cried, "Sister, why did you watch Miss jump off!"

"Be quiet! Don't startle the snake. Ruyue covered her mouth tightly: "Let's talk about it when I go back to the room." ”

When she returned to the room, Ruyue closed the door tightly, and half-truthfully informed her of the plan, concealing the part of her fake death.

Ruxing shook his head again and again: "You are really crazy! We are Miss's personal maidservants, no matter whether this plan succeeds or not, we will lose our lives because of dereliction of duty, do you understand!"

"Ruxing, when my mother had lung disease and was dying on the bed, it was the young lady who took out the jewelry and asked us to sell it, so my mother survived, don't you remember? ”

"Do you want to repay your life?" Ruxing cried: "Why are you so stupid, I can't do it." ”

"If it comes to light, I'll take all the blame for it. Ruyue touched her head with pity: "Don't worry, my sister will definitely keep you." ”

"You're my sister, how can I sit idly by. Ruxing shook his head with tears: "That's it, the wood is already in the boat." You lie down on Miss's bed and pretend to be asleep, and tomorrow I will go to report to Madame, saying that Miss is infected with the wind and cold and cannot come to say goodbye. As for how long it can be delayed, it depends on the creation. ”

"Thank you. Ruyue held her hand tightly: "It won't go wrong, you have to trust Miss." ”

At night, Ruyue lay on the bed and fell asleep. Ruxing tossed and turned, sat on the edge of the bed and listened to her snoring, then pushed open the door and walked out.

"Miss Lingyun hasn't arrived yet, it's been two hours since the third hour. Tang Qiqi said anxiously.

"This tunnel has not been used for many years, so I think it was delayed on the road, so let's wait. Ember said.

The four of them waited quietly, and after a while, they heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and a group of officers and soldiers rushed over with torches.

"Let's go!" Wen Ember quickly hid in the grass with the three of them: "I'm afraid things have changed." ”

"Search for me!" the Ling Master led by the leader looked around and shouted angrily.

"Miss Tang, you take Xiao Mu with you, let's go. Wen Yan got up with Liu Xunyin's light skills, and Tang Qiqi was about to turn around and leave, but he stepped on a trap set by Orion and fell hard. When he looked up, a coarse cloth net rope fell to cover his face.

"Qi Qi! Xiao Gongzi!" Liu Xunyin exclaimed.

"Don't make a sound. Wen Ember covered her mouth tightly: "The situation is unknown, let's go first, and then come back to save them." ”

The two took advantage of the night to travel for a long time, and after confirming that the officers and soldiers had not followed, they stopped to rest.

"How is this good?" Liu Xunyin said worriedly: "Qiqi and they are caught, I'm afraid it's dangerous." ”

"You calm down first, it's still uncertain whether Miss Lingyun gave up this escape, or if the matter was revealed. Wen Ember comforted: "I'll go to the Sun Palace to find out the situation first, and you wait for me here." ”

"No, it's too dangerous, I'm with you. ”

"Good. Seeing that she was very firm, Wen Yan nodded slightly: "There is such a turmoil, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the Sun Palace to enter tonight, so we will go through the secret passage according to the map given by Lingyun Girl." ”

"Good. ”

The two of them covered their mouths and noses and walked along the tunnel for a long time, the road was full of cobwebs and thick dust, very dilapidated, and it seemed that no one had used it for many years.

"There's a rope here. When it reached the end of the tunnel, Ember grabbed it and pulled: "There is light on it, it should be the Sun Palace." I'll go up and see how it's going to go first, and you're waiting for me here. ”

"Well, you watch out. Liu Xunyin said.

Wen Ember climbed up along the rope, only to see that the guards in the backyard were all bowed and listless, as if they had just woken up, and did not notice the movement by the well. Ember circled behind them, knocked them unconscious, and flew up to the eaves and looked around.

"Seek sound, come up. Wen Yan returned to the backyard and stretched out his hand to pull Liu Xunyin up: "I looked around just now, Miss Lingyun has been placed under house arrest. There were many guards at the door, and the back was unguarded, so we walked along the wall so as not to attract their attention. ”

"Good. Liu Xunyin asked, "Do you know where the dungeon is?"

"I'm not sure yet, let's go meet Miss Lingyun first. ”

The two of them walked cautiously along the wall for a long time, and when they reached the bottom of Lingyun's bedroom, Wen Ember quickly flew up the wall and knocked on the window gently, and Liu Xunyin looked around below to let go of the wind.

"Young Master Wen!" Lingyun hurriedly opened the window when he heard the voice, his eyes were very red and swollen from crying: "I'm sorry." I really don't know what went wrong, are you and Miss Liu okay?"

"We're alright, what about you?"

"I was punished and grounded by my father, and Miss Tang and Xiao Gongzi were all locked up in the dungeon. ”

"Miss Lingyun, continue to act according to the plan. Ember said.

"Ruyue Ruxing has also been locked up, and there is no one on Shunliang's side to ventilate the news. ”

Xiao Mu expected that things would not go so smoothly, and he had already given Yang Shunliang a letter of repair before going out. You can rest assured, as long as you take the fake death pill at night, we have our own way to do the rest. ”

"Good. Lingyun nodded solemnly.

After explaining the matter, Wen Shen returned to Liu Xunyin's side: "We have to find a way to be caught in the dungeon and meet Xiao Mu." ”

"Good. Liu Xunyin had an idea, and shouted loudly: "Someone, protect Miss, catch the assassin!"

The guards were reprimanded by the master because of Lingyun's escape, and they couldn't wait to make meritorious contributions immediately to keep the beauty of the Sun Palace. Hearing the shouting, he quickly came, surrounded the two of them, and clasped them on the ground with his backhand. Wen Ember and Liu Xunyin did not resist, and were obediently escorted and imprisoned in the dungeon.
