Ximen Yi waited until dark in Yunxiaoyuan, but saw no news from Su Ranhua.
"Are you going to stay overnight here in my palace today?" Concubine Shu asked.
Su Xin had returned a long time ago, and there was no news about Su Ranhua in the entire harem. It seemed that she had never appeared at all. However, Concubine Shu still thought that something was fishy, otherwise Ximen Yi would not have stayed quietly in Yunxiao Garden for so long.
"Oh, no." Ximen Yi stood up and felt uncomfortable after staying in Yunxiao Garden for a whole day. Thinking about Su Ranhua's methods, he wondered if she had managed to get out of the palace quietly?
Therefore, Ximen Yi gave up his plan of waiting for her and said goodbye to Concubine Shu, "Concubine, it's time for me to return to my home. It must be very lonely if I stay here alone with Ranqing."
"Thank you for remembering your princess." Concubine Shu snorted coldly, showing great disdain for Ximen Yi's excuse.
That night, Ximen Yi returned to the Nanwang Mansion and heard the news about Xiaocui being beaten.
Didn't Su Ranhua go back? Ximen Yi couldn't help but frown, wondering what went wrong.
Su Ranhua was trapped in the secret room, and it became more and more difficult to breathe. At this time, she had to admire the methods of the ancients in building secret rooms, and also wanted to have a modern thermal weapon. Even a grenade could break the tightly closed room.
A hole was blown in the wall, but at this moment, she could only be trapped and couldn't find a way out.
"Lean against the wall and listen to me."
Suddenly a sound passed through the thick wall and reached Su Ranhua's ears.
Hearing this sound, Su Ranhua's mind suddenly brightened, and he followed the instructions and sat down against the wall closest to the sound.
The low voice from the other side of the wall reached Su Ranhua's ears, and it turned out to be teaching her the turtle breath technique of holding her breath.
Su Ranhua followed his instructions and practiced alone. It was an easy task for her who had studied martial arts.
Soon, Su Ranhua felt that breathing was not so difficult because she seemed to no longer need to breathe. She felt that her heartbeat was getting slower and slower, but her mind was very clear.
"You just practice like this, keep at it, and as long as you don't die, you will have a chance to leave here." The voice on the other side of the wall said, "Although this turtle breath method is not as good as the turtle breath method mastered by Prince Yuehua, it is enough for you.
When dealing with more than ten hours, try to breathe as little as possible to prevent the smell that will enter the secret room later. Remember!"
Su Ranhua was about to ask the man how long she would be trapped, but she could no longer hear the man's voice and he had already left.
Su Ranhua knew that she could hear the voice on the other side through the wall because the person used strong internal strength to talk to her through the thick wall, so the voice sounded a bit heavy in her ears, but she still
You can hear the familiar tone hidden in it, and the corners of your lips slightly raise.
Just as the man said, after an unknown amount of time, a gap seemed to open somewhere in the secret room, and as a stream of cool air came in, a strange smell floated in.
Su Ranhua continued to practice the Turtle Breathing Technique, paying attention to the subtle changes happening around him.
You can't see the light, but you can feel the direction the breath is coming from.
Su Ranhua didn't dare to act rashly, because according to the words of the previous person, the breath that came in was poisonous. The closer she got to the entrance of the breath, the more dangerous she would be.
Therefore, she could only practice the Turtle Breathing Technique obediently, reduce her breathing, and stop by calming down.
After persisting for a long time, maybe it was the time limit of more than ten hours that the man said, Su Ranhua felt that he could no longer stop breathing, his chest was floating more and more violently, and the familiar pain swept through his body very quickly.
Finally, she couldn't help coughing anymore. In the dark room, she knew that what she vomited must be black blood.
As soon as the Turtle Breathing Skill disappeared, Su Ranhua felt as if she was about to die. She ignored the fragrant smell, and the severe pain in her body stirred her internal organs, making her feel as if she was experiencing a tear that was worse than death.
When will Ximen Xianchu open the secret room? Is she going to die in pain here?
It was obvious that that person didn't know that there was something wrong with her. According to his estimation, she couldn't wait until the secret room was opened.
Su Ranhua covered his chest with his hands and couldn't help but curl up into a ball. He couldn't help but cough. Black blood spurted out from mouth to mouth, and his body spasmed uncontrollably.
So uncomfortable, so painful...
Su Ranhua's fingers were clasped tightly at the placket of her chest, her nails poking through the cotton robe and about to embed themselves into her flesh.
What was wrong with this body? Su Ranhua wanted to know. She was sure that the unbearable feeling on her body at this time was not because of the strange fragrance coming from the secret room, but was related to the various strange things she had revealed before. Although Ximen Hao said it was because of her
Her body was weak, and she had taken a lot of tonics, and she had not felt any discomfort recently. However, the discomfort was now more intense, to the point where she felt worse than death, which showed that her body was not simply weak at all.
Su Ranhua's brain gradually lost the ability to think, and her whole body was shrouded in the painful torture. The only thing left in her heart was the desire to survive.
Time seems to have stopped at this moment, endless pain, no future waiting...
"My lord, it's already noon and there's no news about the princess. Is something really wrong?" Butler Lin stood in front of the desk in the study and asked Ximen Hao, who was holding a document and had no intention of looking at it.
Ximen Hao threw down the paperwork in his hand, stood up, walked out of the study, looked at the sun that had lost its temperature in the winter, and walked towards the Wutong House with striding steps.
Xiaocui was still hanging on the tree. Although Ximen Hao did not order her to be put down, he did not say that she would not get wet, so Liuer stepped on the chair intermittently, fed her some water and porridge, and then saved some
Hold her legs with all your strength, don't let her hang in pain all the time.
"Tell me what you know about the incident between Su Ranhua and King Nan, and I will let you go." Ximen Hao asked coldly.
"This slave doesn't know." Xiao Cui's voice was intermittently soft and inaudible.
But Ximen Hao heard clearly that this girl was still protecting Su Ranhua at this time!
"Keep hanging, Liu'er is not allowed to take a step closer to her, otherwise we will be held accountable together!" Ximen Hao said, "I would like to see how stubborn a little girl can be."
Liu'er wanted to confess to Ximen Hao that it was actually Su Ranhua who left the palace on his own, but at night, Xiaocui told her when she was clear-headed that she must insist that it was the princess who was taken away, otherwise she would be tortured even if she came back.
She also has someone to support her when it comes to punishment, so she won't be left to bear it alone.
Although Liu'er's attitude towards Su Ranhua was vague due to Bai Yiyi's troubles, seeing that Xiaocui was devoted to protecting the Lord, it was hard to say anything more. After all, this incident was all because she had been hit by five
It was caused by taking powder and it had nothing to do with her.
