If Feng Lingtian really defeated Chu Xuanchen, wouldn't the Chu Kingdom become Feng Lingtian's bag?
At that time, Chu State will be destroyed.
But Chu Yao didn't care about this at all. He only cared about whether he could still be the emperor.
Fortunately, what she just said was to deceive Chu Yao so as to gain his trust.
Thinking of this, she said again, "Your Majesty, the situation outside is very unclear now. How about I send Amina out to have a look and find out what is going on?"
"Amina?"
Chu Yao looked at Amina behind Xue Tianxiang and said hesitantly, "But she is just a weak woman, what news can she get?
Besides, Yun Qing sent people out to investigate a long time ago, so there is no need for Amina to go again."
Xue Tianxiang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, haven't you always wanted to escape from Shengjing City and go south?"
"Yes, but Chu Xuanchen's people are guarding the city gate, and we can't get out at all."
Chu Yao said depressedly.
Precisely because they couldn't escape, they had been hiding in this underground castle in Yunqing.
If they could escape, they would have left long ago and wouldn't be suffering in this dark and damp basement.
Xue Tianxiang rolled her eyes and said, "Your Majesty, to tell you the truth, I know a secret passage through which I can sneak out of the city."
"What?
Do you know the secret way out of the city?"
Chu Yao looked at Xue Tianxiang with a look of disbelief.
Yun Qing also looked puzzled, "Concubine Xue, you live in the palace all the time, how do you know these things?"
Xue Tianxiang's eyes flickered and she said: "Oh, that's the case. When Amina and I didn't enter the palace, we came to Shengjing City to visit relatives, but our money was stolen.
After we ran out of money, we had no place to live, so we wandered on the outskirts of the city for a while.
During that time, in order to find a place to stay, we visited many ruined temples and looked for many places. Finally, we found a long secret passage under a ruined temple in the east of the city.
Moreover, this secret passage can also lead directly to the outside of the city."
"real?
My beloved, have you really seen that secret passage?"
Chu Yao asked excitedly.
Xue Tianxiang sneered in her heart, it was really weird, wasn't this made up to deceive him?
But she hurriedly said: "It's absolutely true. At that time, my concubine and Amina were curious and walked into the secret passage.
As a result, while walking, we discovered that we had actually left the city.
From that time we knew that this secret passage must have been dug deliberately by someone in order to sneak out of the city. As for who dug it, we don’t know.
In short, with this secret passage, the emperor can escape from the city, so no matter how many people Chu Xuanchen arranges at the city gate, he can't stop us."
"Okay! My beloved, this is really great. Do you still remember where the secret passage is now?"
Chu Yao asked.
Xue Tianxiang said with some embarrassment: "It's just that it's been too long, and I've long forgotten where the secret passage is, so I asked Amina to go to the east of the city to see if I could find the ruined temple.
As long as you can find the ruined temple, you can find the secret passage."
As she said that, she quickly winked at Amina behind her.
Amina hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I still vaguely remember where the ruined temple is. If I ask you to go to the east of the city and look around, you will definitely find it."
"Okay, then I'll send a few people to escort you to the east of the city to find the secret passage."
Chu Yaodao.
"Well, yes, without further ado, I will go right away."
Amina said.
As she said that, Amina quickly looked at each other with Xue Tianxiang, and Xue Tianxiang nodded secretly towards her.
In this way, Chu Yao sent several guards to escort Amina quietly out of the Yun family's castle, and the group hurried towards the east of the city.
Chu Yao, on the other hand, looked at Yun Qing with hope, "Yun Xiang, you have never been able to find a way out of the city before. Now if Amina can find the secret passage, then we can get out of the city!"
Yun Qing said: "Yes, I also hope that Amina can find the secret passage as soon as possible, and I don't want the emperor to stay here and suffer anymore.
It will be fine when we escape to the south where there are no people from Chu Xuanchen!"
Hearing what the two said, Xue Tianxiang sneered in her heart.
snort!
Does this foolish king still want to escape to the south?
Beautiful thought!
By the time Amina finds Chu Xuanchen's people to report the news, it will be the day when this faint king will die.
Although Amina has gone out to find the secret passage, the princes, grandsons, and ministers in the castle are all very scared now.
They stayed inside in fear, terrified all day long, for fear that Chu Xuanchen's people would catch them.
They are all Chu Yao's people, and as long as they are caught by Chu Xuanchen, they will definitely end badly.
Even the owner of the castle, Yun Qing, was filled with anxiety.
He was also worried about whether they could successfully escape, and even if they escaped, would they still be hunted down by Chu Xuanchen?
They suddenly lost hope and hope for the future.

At this time, in a room in the castle, a man of seventeen or eighteen years old who looked like a scholar was sitting reading under the dim candlelight.
His desk was filled with pens, ink, paper, inkstones, and many poems.
