The night in mid-August in Yecheng was already quite cool. The half-circle moon was bright and clear as frost, and the magnificent Ye Palace complex was silent. Most of the concubines and maids who escaped from the palace in the past two days were sent back. Now Zuo Chu
Faced with each other in prison, the future is uncertain, and we are filled with sorrow and sorrow——
Princess Murong Qinchen of Qinghe returned to her Yongshou Palace silently under the cold moonlight. Behind her was a rouge warrior named Sanuer who was sent to her by her younger brother Murong Chong. The original maids of Yongshou Palace saw that the disaster was coming.
They escaped and even though they are back now, Murong Qinchen no longer wants their service——
Just hearing the conversation between his mother and the emperor's brother, Murong Qinchen felt chilled to his heart. Is this still the empress who dotes on her? Is this still the emperor's brother who loves and protects her? There are also uncles, such as Zuhunyi. These close relatives have to protect their lives.
But her life was to be given to an ugly man like Huan Xi as a concubine, and the princess made a marriage proposal. But was this a marriage? This was just treating her like a treasure and giving her away!
Princess Qinghe was pampered since she was a child, and she was extremely beautiful. She liked bowing, horse riding, and shooting. She was proud and naive. She was deeply loved by her father, the queen, and her queen. Of course, after the birth of the phoenix, her mother loved the phoenix even more, but Murong Qinchen was not jealous, because
She also likes her younger brother Phoenix——
Murong Qinchen had a straightforward and arrogant temperament. He had never suffered any injustice before the age of twelve and could always get what he wanted. However, the year before last, Chen Caozhi refused to stay in Yedu, which made the proud Xianbei princess resentful.
Now, the country is ruined and the family is destroyed, but she has been reduced to the point of being a concubine. In just a few days, she fell from the clouds into the dust. She wants to work hard to maintain her nobility and pride, but the situation in the Saga Mountain Bamboo Forest Jingshe
This scene made her understand that she had no one to rely on. Guys like Huan Xi, whom she had never looked at before, could insult her arbitrarily. Among those strange and vicious Jin people, she only knew Chen Caozhi, but Chen Caozhi was the only one she knew.
Cao Zhi wouldn't help her, he was just a little more polite than others——
Well, she is a person who has subjugated her country. She is only worthy of being a concubine and a slave to others. She is insulted and harmed. This is her fate!
Murong Qinchen walked quickly as if he wanted to shake off the sadness, but tears still fell on the left hem of his white robe——
Standing in front of Yongshou Hall, seeing the lifeless looks of those palace people, Murong Qinchen didn't want to go in anymore. He saw the Hongqiao of Jinfeng Terrace in the distance, cold and solemn under the moonlight, so he took the Rouge Warrior Sanu'er into the Tongque Garden from the small door.
Usually this small gate is guarded by guards, but now it is completely unattended. Jin soldiers only guard the gates of Ye Palace and do not enter -
In the Bronze Bird Garden, the moonlight was like blue mist, the flowers and trees were blurred, and there was no one around. Murong Qinchen went straight to the north of the garden, where there were her three favorite magnolias, which were transplanted from the distant Dragon City.
The three surviving trees often lingered under the flowering trees in May and June when they bloomed in previous years. However, this year because of Henan's successive defeats, even though Murong Qinchen lived in the palace, he felt sad and spent several months there.
I didn’t come to visit these three goddess magnolias. I couldn’t suppress my sadness tonight. I didn’t want to go back to the palace, so I thought of coming to see it as a farewell. The day of leaving Ye Palace is not far away——
However, the sight in front of him shocked Murong Qinchen. The three goddess magnolias actually withered and died!
Murong Qinchen burst into tears. This was really a sign of the country's subjugation. The goddess Mulan, who was growing so well, would die for no reason. This goddess Mulan, who came from the Daxianbei Mountains thousands of miles away, was so noble. She couldn't bear the change of owner in the Ye Palace and would rather die withered.
Yes, wood is like this, how can people be embarrassed!
Rouge Warrior Sanuer was not as sad as Murong Qinchen. She looked around, tucked her skirt around her waist, quickly climbed up a birch tree at the edge of the garden and looked outside the Bronze Bird Garden. Then she came down and said: "Your Highness Princess,
How about the two of us protecting you and escaping from the palace at night?"
Murong Qinchen was stunned: "What!"
Sanuer said: "Princess, let's go find His Majesty Phoenix. His Majesty Phoenix must be out of danger."
Murong Qinchen hesitated for a moment, then thought again, since the queen mother and the emperor's brother were so cruel to give her to the scar-faced man, why should she worry about the queen mother and the emperor's brother? If she married Huan Xi, she would be worse than the goddess Mulan and die of haggard.
——
Murong Qinchen is not a weak and cowardly person. She is not willing to be manipulated. If there is a chance to escape, she will not miss it. Yes, when she returns to Dragon City, Phoenix will definitely be there——
Murong Qinchen looked at the high garden wall and asked, "Can you escape? The four gates of Tongque Garden are guarded by Jin troops."
Sanuer suddenly smiled mysteriously and said: "Your Highness the Princess does not know something. When Fenghuang lived in the palace, she wanted to go out to play at night, but the guards did not let us go. So Fenghuang asked us to stay in the Tongque Garden near the main ice well platform.
A hole was drilled under the garden wall, and he often got out of the hole to play."
"Ah! There is such a thing. Fenghuang hid it so tightly that I didn't know it. I had to teach him a lesson -" Before he could finish his sentence, his voice was suddenly cut off, and a bitter smile appeared on Murong Qinchen's lips. He continued for a long time.
Fang asked: "Where is the hole?"
Sanuer then led Qinghe Princess Murong Qinchen to the west for more than a hundred steps, then turned around and said: "Princess, please lend me your little golden knife. This hole has not been used for a long time, and there must be weeds and vines."
"Sanur is not allowed to wear weapons in the palace.
Murong Qinchen's small golden knife was tied with a silk ribbon to the outside of his left thigh, for self-defense or suicide. At this time, he lifted up his left robe, exposing his snow-white and round thighs. The green silk ribbon tied the small golden knife. The small golden knife was an exquisite knife.
The shell jade on the sheath reflects the moonlight——
Murong Qinchen took out a small golden knife and handed it to Sanuer. Sanuer looked at the knife in her hand, which was less than seven inches long and more decorative than practical. She shook her head, turned around and walked towards the wall. Murong Qinchen followed behind her.
, watching her cut off the vines at the root of the wall, pressing here and there on the solid wall, and really pulled out a big tree root, revealing a two-foot-square wall hole——
Sanu'er was both loyal and brave. I really don't know how Fenghuang'er Murong Chong managed to train them. She climbed out of the wall first, took a look, and then whispered: "Your Highness, you can come out now."
Murong Qinchen climbed out of the hole in the wall, his hands were muddy and he didn't know what to do.
Sanur was seventeen years old, much more experienced than the fourteen-year-old Princess Qinghe. She first plugged the rotten tree roots into the hole in the wall, and then whispered: "We need to find a place to hide for the night and wait until dawn."
Go out of the city again. There is a dry well in Bingjing Terrace over there, so go there."
The two people leaned against the wall and walked to Bingjing Terrace. At this moment, they suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance. There were about dozens of horses running towards this side. Of course, only the only people who could gallop in Yecheng in the middle of the night were
It was a soldier of the Jin army. At this time, it was too late to avoid the ice well in front. Fortunately, there were several small courtyards and terraces nearby. This was where the princes and nobles of Yan used to have banquets. Now of course it is deserted and deserted. Murong Qin
Chen and Sanuer ducked into a small courtyard. When they heard the sound of hoofbeats running closer and closer, they hurriedly hid in the room again, held their breath and listened to the movement outside——
But when they heard the sound of hoofbeats, they stopped outside the courtyard. The knights dismounted one after another, and one of them said: "Youdu, look, this is the apartment where I stayed in Yecheng the year before last."
Another person smiled and said: "It's not bad, it is also a mansion. The people of Yan treat their children as important guests. Why don't you ask Da Sima to give you this mansion."
…
Murong Qinchen's heart was beating wildly in the room in the courtyard. He never expected that Chen Caozhi would come here in the middle of the night. Oh, it turned out that he lived here in Yecheng the year before last!
Hearing the sound of footsteps, a group of people entered the courtyard——
Sanur, who was beside Murong Qinchen, was a little anxious and whispered: "Princess, what will happen if these people come into the house?"
Strangely enough, Murong Qinchen was not very scared, and said in a low voice: "Don't make any noise, these people will leave after a while." Looking at the room, the cold moonlight entered the room, and it could be seen that this was a bedroom, with a bed
On the bed, there is a small table under the south window, and a copper vase on the table. There seems to be a flower arrangement in the vase——
Murong Qinchen thought to himself: "Could this room be Chen Caozhi's original bedroom?"
Just as he was thinking like this, he heard the sound of footsteps coming this way. Murong Qinchen was not in a hurry, but Sanuer was in a hurry and signaled Murong Qinchen to hide in the brocade tent. She stood behind the door holding a small golden knife.
, prepare to give the incoming person a fatal blow——
Murong Qinchen was about to go to bed when he glanced at the flash of a knife in Sanuer's hand. He quickly walked back and stood side by side with Sanuer behind the door, whispering: "Don't act rashly." He thought to himself: "What if this is coming?
Huan Xi, then kill him with one sword and die together." But why can't Chen Caozhi be killed with one sword? Murong Qinchen didn't think much about it -
Sanu'er leaned into Murong Qinchen's ear and said, "I won't act recklessly. I want to capture this man and let him send us out of the city."
With a "squeak", the door was pushed open, and a slender and handsome man walked into the room. It was Chen Caozhi. After he and Xie Xuan came out of Prince Shangyong's Mansion, they took advantage of the wine to revisit their hometown. Yesterday, he had ordered
A man came here to clean up and prepare to move here, and the room in front of him was his original dormitory. But when he saw the moonlight shining on the copper bottle on the small table in front of the window, he couldn't help but said "Huh" and walked over to pick up the bottle.
Standing among the dead branches, he whispered softly: "The goddess Mulan."
This branch of Mulan was taken from the Bronze Bird Garden by Murong Chong when he asked Chen Caozhi to paint it. Two years later, it is still inserted in this steel vase. Of course, the branch is withered and the flower is broken——
Chen Caozhi, who had sharp ears and eyes, suddenly heard thin breathing in the room. He was shocked and turned around suddenly——
Na Sanuer had been staring at Chen Caozhi, and seeing his strange movement, knowing that he had noticed him, she immediately jumped out with a knife, but Princess Qinghe behind her exclaimed: "Don't hurt him--" Sanuer paused for a moment
She hesitated, but when she heard a muffled thump and a heavy knock on her forehead, it was Chen Caozhi who picked up the copper bottle on the small case and hit her on the head. Sanur was in severe pain and fainted.
Fall to the ground.
Chen Caozhi was very careful and recognized that the low voice just now was the voice of Murong Qinchen, Princess of Qinghe. He looked closely and saw that it was indeed the beautiful Princess of Xianbei. He asked in a deep voice: "Why are you here?"
Chen Cao's relatives in the courtyard heard the commotion and asked hurriedly: "Chen Sima, what's the matter?"
Chen Caozhi said to Murong Qinchen, who was at a loss, "Stay here and don't move." After saying that, he quickly went out and said to his bodyguard, "Nothing, I knocked over an old copper vase."
