Chapter 214 No.20 Scene Eight

As soon as Gao Li left Feng Weishu's sight, a light figure flashed into the dungeon—it was Ning Yue who came to meet her father.In order to avoid Gao Li, she had already wandered outside the prison for a long time.

Fortunately, Qi Dianwei, who was on patrol, passed by several times, and was discovered by Xue Ling in the girl's arms in advance, so he was able to escape without any danger.Now that she was in prison, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Gao Li came here just now, did Yue'er meet me on the road? If he finds out that you came to see me secretly, I'm afraid it will hurt your life. Let's leave quickly today, so we don't need to talk anymore!"

Feng Weishu nervously held the iron grille in front of him, wishing he could squeeze a face out of the gap between them.He never thought that his daughter would rashly change the agreed time to meet, and after informing Gao Li of Ning Yue's life experience, he became more and more restless.

Ning Yue didn't understand the whole story.Seeing that his father was so nervous about himself, he suddenly felt moved, but he quickly suppressed it and didn't show it. He just trembled his lips slightly, shook his head and said:

"Tomorrow is the auspicious day selected for enthronement. If I don't see you today, maybe I won't see you again."

"Tomorrow? But our plan is not ready yet!"

Feng Weishu, who was mentally exhausted, was imprisoned and couldn't accurately calculate the passage of time, so he couldn't help being surprised.The red-haired girl seemed to have made up her mind, and said firmly and decisively:
"Even if we are not ready, we must take action immediately. Otherwise, once Gao Li succeeds in ascending the throne and the imperial power is in his hands, not only the [-]th Wuwei Army in Yujing City will follow his orders unconditionally, even those who come outside the palace city will follow his orders." All the armies of the vassal states who are watching the ceremony may swear allegiance to him! At that time, it will be difficult for even a bird to fly out of the entire Yujing!"

Feng Weishu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly said seriously:

"So - what I asked you to find, did you bring it today?"

"Xun found it, but can this thing really enable us to break through the barrier that Gao Li set up in the palace?"

Ning Yue nodded with some hesitation, and immediately took out a small piece of round black rose from her bosom.A few days ago, she deliberately softened her attitude towards Kun Jie, which made the other party gradually let go of her guard, and finally got a custom-made hosta from him.And the black rose in front of him was taken from that hairpin.

Originally, Kunjie was still a bit apprehensive, but under Ning Yue's persuasion, he finally agreed to her request.After all, this red-haired girl is about to become his new queen, and she couldn't get her attention after giving gifts several times, but now she is asking for it, so it's not good to refute her face.

What's more, he knew that Ning Yue still couldn't completely control the powerful power contained in her body, and if she wanted to escape from under her nose with a small black rose, it was nothing short of a dream.Therefore, when Ning Yue mentioned that the two of them belonged to the Cangyu clan, and that they should wear some rare items unique to Cangliu City on the wedding day, he agreed without hesitation, and did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to live in the capital city. The skillful craftsman personally made such a unique hairpin in the world, and handed it to the girl before the grand ceremony.

"The center of Yujing Palace is the most powerful place in the entire barrier, so it is impossible to break through."

Feng Weishu took the piece of black gem from the girl's hand, and looked at it carefully under the dim moonlight in the prison, but his eyes suddenly froze, "But the conceited Gao Li has promised to bring me to watch the ceremony tomorrow. It's near the palace. The southernmost point of the city is also the weakest place in the barrier. With the help of this black rose, Father can cast a spell to break it and lead you to escape from here!"

"However, when Kunjie came before, Gao Li used some means to strengthen the barrier. If we can't break it even outside the Yongyang Palace, what should we do?"

Ning Yue couldn't help but worry.

Feng Weishu looked at the daughter in front of him.From the eyes of the other party, I can still feel a trace of distrust towards myself.He didn't answer, but let out a long sigh.After all, after going through so many changes, it is impossible for the father and daughter to return to the closeness they had when Ning Yue was still a child in Cangliu City.

At the same time, on the palace road in front of Si Nian Hall, a hurried figure was rushing towards the main entrance under the escort of Zhi Jin Wu.

That was Gao Li who had just left the dungeon.After meeting Feng Weishu, he couldn't forget whose daughter Ning Yue was, and whether Kun Jie deliberately placed her by his side.Although it was nearly midnight, he tossed and turned on the couch, unable to sleep, and finally left his bedroom, intending to ask the red-haired girl for clarification.

The servant who came to answer the door saw that it was him, but he did not open the door immediately, but stood behind it and said timidly:
"Miss Ning Yue has been asleep for a long time, if Master Gao disturbs her rest, I'm afraid—"

The servants had just seen Ning Yue lose her temper during the Wuyang Festival, and Gao Li's noncommittal attitude towards it, and he did not convict her of any charges, so they were all a bit jealous of this girl who was about to become the new empress.

However, Gao Li was very anxious in his heart right now, he couldn't help but order Zhi Jinwu who was beside him to knock open the gate of the palace, and immediately shouted loudly:
"Whether she sleeps or not, you have to get up today and tell me clearly. If this woman is really Kun Jie's flesh and blood, I will definitely not forgive you lightly! From now on, all of you should never sleep again!"

The person who answered the door was pushed to the ground, but he didn't dare to say any more, and immediately knelt down beside him with his buttocks pouted.

Kunjie led Zhijinwu straight into the depths of Desi Nian Hall.There was silence everywhere, footsteps were chaotic, shouts were everywhere, the armors and weapons on the soldiers collided with each other, clanging loudly, but Ning Yue, who would normally be woken up, didn't complain at all today.

Gao Li's face gradually darkened.He seemed to realize that something was wrong, quickened his pace, and finally started to trot all the way.However, outside Ning Yue's bedroom, apart from the two maids who had just woken up and stood shivering in the corridor with their heads bowed, there was still no sign of Ning Yue.

"The new empress is still asleep?"

Gao Li stood in front of the door, and raised his hand to pat it.Seeing this, the maid at the side immediately grabbed his arm:

"Master Gao, Ms. Ning Yue has been in a bad mood for the past few days. I'm afraid there's something wrong with you rushing in like this—"

"What's wrong?! Don't forget, whose slave are you!"

Gao Li was completely enraged by these words, he slapped the maidservant in front of her hard on the face, then kicked the door open and broke in.

In the empty room, there was no light on, only a dark shadow on the couch, motionless.Kunjie stepped forward quickly, stretched out his hand, but found that it was not Ning Yue, but deliberately folded the quilt into a human shape, and his anger suddenly became stronger:

"Where did you lowly maidservants take Ning Yue? If you didn't recruit them for the truth, I'll break your tendons and tendons right now, and then send them to Qingying Mountain to feed the eagles!"

The maidservants who had already been panic-stricken also knew the seriousness of the situation, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed their heads continuously, blood oozing out after only a few strokes.The first person begged the other party for forgiveness:
"The servants really don't know! Miss Ning Yue went to bed early tonight, and she specifically asked no one to disturb her. The servants really don't know where she went!"

But Gao Li didn't buy it, he waved his hand, and Zhi Jinwu behind him also entered the room immediately, and pushed a group of maidservants serving Ning Yue to the ground.

"Don't disturb, it doesn't mean you can sleep soundly! If you don't do it, you will be punished for conspiracy!"

The man continued to threaten viciously, and even pulled out a dagger he was wearing with him.The palace maid knew very well the cruelty of this lord Gao, she trembled, but she still shook her head and said in a tearful voice:
"My lord, we really don't know! Please forgive us!"

However, Gao Li didn't intend to let the other party go. He raised his hand and stabbed the dagger into the heel of one of them, and then yanked hard.Accompanied by an incomparably shrill scream, the skirt under the maid was immediately stained red with blood.However, she was still firmly held down by Zhijin Wu, even though she was in severe pain, she was unable to move her body at all, she could only slam her forehead into the ground fiercely, and fainted after only a few strokes.

Another maidservant turned pale with fright on the spot, but she couldn't even speak clearly, she just kept panting loudly.

It wasn't until this time that Gao Li believed that the two of them really didn't know about it, so he ordered them to be dragged down and punished twenty times with sticks.But in Yongyang Palace, as long as you are hit five times by the court staff that is more than eight inches wide, anyone will be torn apart, and then the wound will fester and die.Now if these two maids were beaten twenty times, they would die on the spot in all likelihood before the execution is over.

The maidservant's heart-piercing screams gradually faded away with Zhi Jinwu's departure.The moonlight spilled into the house from the open door, and shone on the pool of slowly congealed blood on the side of the couch, dyeing it a deep purple.

Suddenly, Gao Li saw an inconspicuous hosta falling near the bloodstain.One end of the hairpin has been damaged, leaving only a semi-circular depression, which seems to have something embedded in it before.

The man immediately jumped up, led Zhi Jinwu out of the room again, waved his arms vigorously, and ordered everyone to disperse immediately:
"If Ning Yue didn't sneak away, she must be hiding somewhere in the Hall of Si Nian at this moment! Search for me! Even if I dig every inch of the ground, I have to find her!"

Zhi Jinwu got the order, Dang even moved his hands, and even the few rhododendrons that had just been planted in the courtyard were all uprooted by them and thrown in a corner of the courtyard.

"My lord! There are holes in the palace wall here!"

Soon, the soldiers discovered the secret passage that Ning Yue used to enter and exit the Hall of Sinian, and shouted loudly.Gao Li hurried to catch up, and saw that the plants beside the hole had obvious signs of being trampled on, it must be that someone came in and out frequently.He became anxious immediately, he didn't even say anything about the ineffectiveness of the repairs, and immediately ducked out of the cave.

At the same time, a figure also got in from outside the cave, and that red-haired figure was none other than Ning Yue who had just returned from the dungeon!
Seeing the flames flickering on the other side of the palace wall and people moving around, the girl immediately realized that something was wrong.As soon as he raised his head, he happened to meet Gao Li's face directly, and it was too late when he wanted to back up with his buttocks pouted.

Gao Li grabbed the girl by the hair, dragged her in from the other side of the cave, and asked sharply:
"Since when did you sneak out of the Hall of Missing Years by yourself? Who is the person you went out to meet? Did Kunjie put you here to watch over me?"

Hearing what the other party said, Ning Yue suddenly let go of most of her heart.At this time, she was already ready for her whereabouts to be discovered.It's just that she originally thought that her secret meeting with Feng Weishu had already been revealed, but now she realized that Gao Li was actually still kept in the dark, and she admitted without hesitation, and then turned her head to blackmail the other party:
"That's right! It was Kunjie who ordered me to pretend to be close to you and lure you into the bait as the daughter of the high priest! These days, everything you have done and every word you have said, I respect you I have told my lord exactly, and let this girl go quickly, maybe I can intercede in front of him for you!"

"Are you really Kunjie's daughter?!"

Such an answer immediately frightened Gao Li.He couldn't believe his ears, and after looking Ning Yue up and down for a long time, he asked again, "But you were handed over to me by Zhu Ren, the guard of Suoyang Pass! You have already taken refuge in Kunjie, intending to be my enemy?!"

"Exactly! Otherwise, according to the temperament of the chief seat, how could you have been looking for me for a long time without success, but still didn't ask you for your ineffectiveness?!"

Up until now, Ning Yue had no worries in her heart, and just talked nonsense according to Gao Li's words.Now that she has successfully handed Xuan Gui into Feng Weishu's hands, as long as she disturbs the other party as much as possible, the escape is half done.

However, the unthinking lie was still caught by the opponent:

"Wait a minute—you are Kunjie's daughter, why do you call him the chief seat in the tone of a subordinate?"

The red-haired girl also immediately realized that she had slipped her tongue, and was at a loss for words for a while, unable to think of any words to respond.Gao Li in front of him rolled his eyes and understood:

"Also, what about the black gem on the jade hairpin that you asked for from me a few days ago? If you could use it to break the barrier in the palace, I'm afraid you would have already used your breath to fight me again at this moment, so why bother?" Talking? You are lying! You did not leave the palace to meet Kunjie, but to meet the man in the dungeon, right?!"

"What dungeon, who? I don't know what you're talking about. I only know that I will never marry you tomorrow!"

Ning Yue was too naive after all.In desperation, he could only stare at the other party viciously and cursed.However, this made Gao Li more sure that his speculation was correct.

"Sure enough, you are going to meet Feng Weishu! So--very good! I don't want to marry you again, but I am going to charge you with being good at using witchcraft and witchcraft at tomorrow's ceremony. Beheaded in front of all those who come to watch the ceremony!"

After becoming angry from embarrassment, Gao Li suddenly stopped all the panic, and became the ruthless and fearsome tall man in the center of Yujing City again, and then walked away, leaving only the red-haired girl sitting slumped in the Si Nian Hall. Falling to the ground, I don't know whether the end of life or death will be ushered in by myself after dawn.
