Chapter 194: Secret road

After coming out of the cold palace, Ji Lingxue turned around, planning to go from the imperial garden to the gate of the palace. If she was lucky enough to encounter the carriage that the adult parked at the gate of the palace, she would be lucky to leave.
When Ji Lingxue walked into the Royal Garden, she noticed something was wrong. She seemed to have walked into a formation, otherwise, how could she still be in the original place after making a circle.
Ji Lingxue raised her head and glanced at the sun above her head, cheered herself up, changed the position and continued to move forward.
After bypassing the rockery group, Ji Lingxue wiped the sweat from his forehead, "I finally came out!"
"The emperor!" Ji Lingxue had just breathed out, her heart tightened, and she actually met Xiao Yichen. She tilted her head to look at the source of the sound, and the cat hid in a shrub on one side with her waist.
At this moment, Xiao Yichen and Bai Mo are walking side by side.
Bai Mo said: "The emperor, you are injured and recuperate, don't be too tired, it is not conducive to the recovery of the wound."
Xiao Yichen smiled indifferently: "With you as a genius doctor, I am afraid that the small wounds will not heal?"
Ji Lingxue: Xiao Yichen was actually injured. Seeing that he was walking in the wind, it seems that he was only on the outside.
Bai Mo said: "The emperor, I heard that Xiao Yimo was still locked in a prison by you?"
Xiao Yichen hummed. At that time, he was irritated by Ji Lingxue's death and implicated Xiao Yimo. Although he forced him to retreat from the throne, Xiao Yimo treated him pretty well these years. Many veterans in the court belonged to Xiao Yimo's faction. , I also asked him where Xiao Yimo went. As a benevolent emperor, he did not want to bear the charge of killing his brother and taking the throne.
Xiao Yichen turned his head to look at Bai Mo, with an arc of laughter at the corners of his mouth, "Unless you came to the palace today, didn't you give me a follow-up visit, but also came to Xiao Yimo's lobbyist?"
Bai Mo was full of grievances, and said: "Look at you, when you are an emperor, you are so suspicious. I just want to persuade you to stop killing. The death of the uncle and the former queen is enough to calm you down. Xiao Yimo's reign time He is also a good emperor when he is benevolent."
Xiao Yichen waved his hand: "I know all these things, you don't need to say that, even though he is in prison, I take good care of him, and the cost of food and clothing is the same as before." He just hasn't seen the sky, he hasn't decided yet. How to deal with him, just do that first.
Bai Mo patted Xiao Yichen on the shoulder, "I can rest assured if you think so."
The two of them walked through a flower tree, Bai Mo patted the falling flowers on his shoulder, and changed the subject: "The emperor, nothing special happened last night, right?" As he said, he blinked, his face full of gossip.
Xiao Yichen tilted his head to look at Bai Mo, smiling and asking, "What special thing should have happened last night?"
Bai Mo shook his head hurriedly. He just wanted to know if Xiao Yichen knew that Zhixue was Ji Lingxue. Zhihao lost someone, and Yuchi Ruge would naturally make trouble in front of Xiao Yichen, but he didn't know whether the person who robbed Ji Lingxue in the end was Xiao Yichen’s person. He was so curious. I really want to know.
Xiao Yichen coughed: "Last night I asked Chi Feng to round up Yuchi Gongru. Then there will be nothing good for you once you enter Beijing."
Bai Mo sighed, not the gossip he wanted to know, he was a bit disappointed, "That Yuchi Gongru is very cunning. At this time, the prime minister is going out in person. Have you caught it yet?"
Xiao Yichen replied sincerely, "No, that's what Chi Feng's person is. To let him catch a fish, he has to find a fishing net with holes."
The voices of the two of them drifted away, Ji Lingxue curled his mouth, walked forward with cat waist, did not take a few steps, suddenly a pair of embroidered shoes appeared in front of him, looking up along the toe, Ji Lingxue smiled and said hello: "Auntie, you It’s a coincidence that I am also basking in the sun!"
The aunt tuber turned the whip in her hand and looked at Ji Lingxue with a smile, "Dead girl, I was lazy hiding here, so I was so easy to find!" The whip came down as expected.
Ji Lingxue hurriedly covered her face and avoided it, "Auntie, please take your life!"
"Stop, the dead girl dared to run!" The aunt in charge held her whip and chased after her wildly.
Ji Lingxue twitched her mouth. Aunt in charge must be in menopause, her temper is so bad! If you don't run faster, you really have to peel off. It's true that Xiao Yichen didn't pass by here just now. Why can't he catch up with people if he needs to save the field?
Ji Lingxue opened her mouth. She wanted to call Xiao Yichen's name, but then she thought that he is now the emperor. If you call your name directly, someone will rub your spine. Maybe you have to go to half life, forget it, let's help yourself!
Ji Lingxue flashed herself into the formation just now, and Ji Lingxue, who easily escaped the whip, smiled triumphantly. The next moment she was empty of her feet, she had only time to make a short "ah" and fell into darkness.
Ji Lingxue rubbed his aching arms and legs, raised his head to look at the place where he fell, where the mechanism had been restored, and the top of his head was completely dark.
Ji Lingxue: "Why is there a secret road here?"
It is not uncommon to hear that there is a secret road in the palace. The emperors of the past have specially set up for self-protection, but they do not know where the secret road leads?
Ji Lingxue touched the cave wall and walked forward slowly. The secret road was very narrow and could only allow one person to pass. Being in the dark would inevitably make people panic.
Ji Lingxue gritted her teeth and covered her chest. Fortunately, she quickly came to an end. She saw a small secret cell in the bright light. There was a person sitting in the cell. It was Xiao Yimo who just didn't know what to do with Xiao Yichen. .
Hearing the footsteps, Xiao Yimo raised his head and looked at Ji Lingxue in surprise, "Are you not dead?!"
Although he was in prison, Xiao Yimo was not haggard, his hair was meticulously combed, and his clothes were neat and tidy. Although he was dressed in common clothes, the emperor's manners were cultivated from his bones, which made him admire at a glance.
Ji Lingxue smiled: "Why are you here, the emperor?" Just after hearing what Xiao Yichen said, shouldn't he be locked up in a prison?
Xiao Yimo smiled sarcastically at the corner of his mouth: "Brother, you are really a good method. My imperial brother has a deep and righteous affection. He was so angry that he became a beauty. He instantly seized my country, let my wife disperse and be trapped in prison. prison."
Ji Lingxue looked around, but didn't see the guardian, and couldn't help but wonder.
Xiao Yimo said: "You don't need to look for it. I am alone here... Haha, I am no longer the emperor, so I shouldn't call myself me anymore."
Ji Lingxue asked: "Do you know where the exit is here?"
Xiao Yimo looked at Ji Lingxue with a weird look. He still remembered that he and Ji Lingxue had a good relationship back then, eating and drinking together, and now that things are different, Ji Lingxue still has the same character.
"How did you come in?" Since she didn't come to laugh at him or come to visit him, how did she come here.
Ji Lingxue shrugged, "I accidentally hit the mechanism and fell off."
Xiao Yimo twitched the corners of his mouth, only to realize that Ji Lingxue was dressed as a court lady, and the clothes on her body were a little dirty and a little broken, and it didn't look like a lie.
Xiao Yimo said again: "Why are you dressing up like this? I heard that my emperor's brother gave you the position of queen after he became a throne, with unlimited grace." But the scene before him was different from what he had heard.
Ji Lingxue said: "It's a long story. I was taken into the palace by someone. I actually don't want to stay here at all."
Xiao Yimo's eyes flashed, "If you can let me out, how about I take you out of the palace?"
Ji Lingxue nodded, "Okay!" She pulled a hairpin from her head and inserted it into the keyhole, flicking and picking it up, only hearing a click, the iron lock was opened, and Xiao Yimo rushed out of the iron door ecstatically.
Xiao Yimo laughed twice, raised his hand to clasp Ji Lingxue's neck, his eyes gradually becoming fierce.
Ji Lingxue's eyes widened, and Xiao Yimo's kung fu was also very good. She was like a rabbit pulling her teeth from a tiger's mouth. She was confined by his big hands and had difficulty breathing, and her hands and feet were weak.
Xiao Yimo said: "I'm sorry, I lied to you. Rather than going out of the palace with you, I want to kill you and Xiao Yichen and avenge my wife and children, so that Jiangshan can belong to me!"
Ji Lingxue only felt that her neck was about to be chopped off by the other party, and her suffocation left her brain blank. How could Xiao Yimo become like this? It is not the same as the ambassador of her elder brother in her memory. Is it because of the death of the queen?
Ji Lingxue made a difficult voice: "Xiao Yichen did not kill your wife and children. The imperial concubine is now in the cold palace. The little prince and princess have been given fiefs, and there are special people to take care of their diet and daily life... Xiao Yimo, you believe me, I said Everything is true."
Xiao Yimo's sanity seemed to have finally returned, his hand was slightly loosened, fresh air poured in, making Ji Lingxue who was almost suffocated, tears in his eyes.
Xiao Yimo said: "Really?"
Ji Lingxue nodded vigorously, "Really, I swear, as long as you go out, you will know."
Xiao Yimo nodded, "Very well, you go out of the palace with me."
In the Imperial Study Room, the aunt in charge bowed her head and knelt down in front of Xiao Yichen, trying to calm her voice, "The emperor..."
Xiao Yichen said to Aunt Guan, "Have you seen the woman in the painting?"
Aunt Guan raised her head and looked at the painting in Xiao Yimo's hand. Her pupils suddenly shrank and nodded vigorously, "I have seen it before, and the slave servant has seen the woman in the painting."
Xiao Yichen nodded, "Very well, then you tell me this woman will bring me to see me now."
My aunt's chin almost fell to the ground. I heard that the emperor had a single-minded affection and only had a soft spot for the deceased queen. But the truth does not seem to be the case?
Aunt Guan slandered for a moment in her heart, "If you return to the emperor, the girl in this painting is a new errand girl from the imperial dining room, and she disappeared after working for a long time this morning."
Suddenly Xiao Yichen stood up and approached the auntie in charge. She was so scared that the other party's legs were soft and shivering. "It's gone, have you looked for it? Why didn't anyone tell me?"
The aunt’s soul was almost frightened and cold sweat broke out layer after layer,
Just now the servant girl saw her who was slacking off at the Royal Garden. The servant girl was about to teach, but she did not expect that the girl ran away, running fast, the servant girl was stupefied. After not catching up, the slave servant was called by the father-in-law to see the emperor."
Xiao Yichen's figure flickered, and the aunt in charge only felt a strong wind blow her face, and when she looked again, Xiao Yichen was no longer visible.
Xiao Yichen stood in front of the bluestone where Ji Lingxue dropped the mechanism, bent over to pick up a few hairs on the ground, glanced at the sunlight, Xiao Yichen muttered, "It won't be that coincidence!" His foot stomped, and the tightly connected bluestone moved to both sides. Parting, revealing a narrow road.
