Chapter 8 The Cage
The bird palace, which can be called a cage, refreshed Mu Shiyu's cognition. If she vomited blood and died in this place in the future, it would be too miserable.

The high wall blocked the sunlight, and the alley was extremely gloomy. Mu Shiyu couldn't help feeling chills down his spine. Seeing that Fang Gongshi knew a lot, he didn't need to hide it deliberately, and continued to ask:
"Do the concubines have other places to live?"

Fang Gongshi stopped, looked around, and after confirming that there were no other palace servants, he whispered:

"Lord Mu, these women who are not considered His Majesty are all concubines or princesses of the four kingdoms, that is, subjugated slaves. They are not qualified to live in a good palace. His Majesty spared their lives, and they will be fine alive."

Fang Gongshi paused, looked at Mu Shiyu's appearance, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, and continued:

"All the stunning beauties collected by His Majesty live in the Palace of Musical Symbols. Where is it like a real harem? Your Majesty often goes to the Palace of Musical Symbols to listen to music and watch plays."

If Mr. Mu does not become an official in the court, with his good looks, sooner or later his Majesty will take him into the Palace of Lefu.

"I see."

He Lianchuan never holds a banquet in the palace, who would have thought that there is a prison like hell behind the palace.

Passing one narrow red wooden door after another, Mu Shiyu saw countless pairs of eyes staring at her behind the crack of the door.

There were all kinds of gazes, and some people even smiled gloatingly, thinking that she was also one of the prisoners.

"Here we are, Master Mu, this is Limei's residence."

Fang Gongshi opened an ordinary wooden door, stood aside obediently, and had no intention of following Mu Shiyu in.

The moment the door was opened, a strong smell of medicine wafted out, and the narrow yard like a courtyard was covered with medicine residues. The door of the room was half open, damp and dark, and the bed, tables and chairs could be vaguely seen, enough to show how small the room was.

Mu Shiyu remained vigilant and slowly walked into the room.

"Cough cough!" A violent cough sounded, and on the bed in the corner, a woman in a white underwear was half lying on the edge of the bed, her messy hair was half hanging, shaking with the movement of her body when she coughed.

His skinny arms clasped the edge of the bed tightly, and after the coughing stopped, he slowly raised his head. His expression was extremely haggard, and he could vaguely distinguish the once exquisite facial features.

"Who are you?" The voice was hoarse, dry, and he spoke very forcefully, and after he finished speaking, he fell back on the bed as if he had exhausted all his strength, with a look of breathlessness.

"You are Li Sheng, the former third princess of the Western Qin Dynasty."

Mu Shiyu didn't answer Li Sheng's question, but pointed out her name and identity. He glanced at the clean table and the neatly placed teacups on it. The room was not as messy as imagined.

Li Sheng turned her head slightly and noticed the court clothes on Mu Shiyu's body, her pupils shrank slightly, as if she saw something terrible, her expression changed suddenly, she pulled off the quilt and hid inside, howling in despair,

"Don't come here! I'm dying, don't torture me anymore!!!"

Mu Shiyu was indifferent, looked around, looked at the dark bed, listened intently, his eyes became more piercing.

Soon under the sharp voice, she heard something more interesting, and walked towards the bed step by step.

Sensing Mu Shiyu's approach, Li Sheng's piercing voice stopped abruptly, her whole body was stiff and trembling slightly.

"Why don't you cry? The voice is full of anger, it doesn't look like someone who is about to die. The snow lotus given by His Majesty has a good effect." Mu Shiyu stopped and looked at Li Sheng who was hiding under the quilt, his tone was calm and unpredictable well.

After the voice fell, the room was extremely quiet, and there was a hint of weirdness in the frozen atmosphere.

Suddenly there was a very slight knocking sound on the beams, and Li Sheng, who was wrapped in the quilt, clenched her lower lip, her eyes gradually became fierce, she lifted the quilt violently, and under the cover of the quilt, she rolled to the ground, clenched the dagger in her hand, and stabbed To Mu Shiyu.

At the same time, two silver-white swords flashed coldly, a woman in white slipped out from under the bed holding a sword, and a man in black clothes jumped down from the beam with a sword.

The already narrow room was even more crowded, and the targets of the three stabbing were Mu Shiyu, full of murderous intent, obviously wanting to kill her, so Mu Shiyu could only retreat towards the door in this position.

In an instant.

Time seemed to slow down.

The sword in Mu Shiyu's hand was out of its sheath, unflappable in the face of danger, and reacted extremely quickly. He pulled a beautiful sword flower to resist the attack of the man in black, and threw his strength at the woman who came out from the bottom of the bed. Take a few steps back.

Immediately, he jumped lightly and kicked Li Sheng's wrist. There was a crisp fracture sound, and the dagger fell to the ground.

"Ah! Pei Sheng, my hand!"

"Lisheng!" Pei Sheng withdrew his long sword. Seeing that Lisheng was about to fall, he wrapped his arms around her waist, his eyes full of distress, and he turned his head and shouted:

"Yu Hua, stop her."

Yu Hua looked at the two people who were hugging each other, her breath was unsteady, she lost her mind for a moment, and subconsciously touched her slightly protruding belly.

Mu Shiyu, who had just escaped the fatal attack, saw the relationship between the three of them at a glance, raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "The name Pei Sheng is very familiar. It has the same name and surname as the invincible general of the Western Qin Dynasty?"

"Shut up, dog officer! You are not worthy of mentioning Xiqin." Pei Sheng's eyes were dark and he swiped his long sword, and the teacup on the table flew towards Mu Shiyu with astonishing force.

On the first day the new official took office, he was scolded as a dog official. Mu Shiyu felt very emotional, and hurriedly retreated to the courtyard and split the teacup with his sword.

"Clang!"

The fragments splashed everywhere, and the sound alarmed the Palace Attendant Fang in the alley. After seeing the situation in the yard, his eyes widened in horror, and he turned and ran towards the palace gate.

Seeing that his whereabouts had been exposed, Pei Sheng rushed out of the room and jumped onto the eaves with the thin Lisheng in his arms.

Yu Hua also wanted to escape, but it was a pity that her martial arts and lightness skills were not as good as Pei Sheng's. Mu Shiyu easily captured her, knocked her unconscious with a palm, and flew up to the eaves to chase Pei Sheng.

Fortunately, it was General Xiqin who escaped from Zhao Shen's pursuit. He was accompanied by one person, and his lightness kung fu was so good, his speed was so fast that only an afterimage remained.

Mu Shiyu tapped her toes lightly, her body was as light as a swallow, her court clothes fluttered in the wind, and she was extraordinarily heroic.

Pei Sheng's face darkened, and he speeded up. The distance between the two was kept less than two meters. Obviously, he made a mistake in his judgment and underestimated Mu Shiyu.

Seeing that he was about to escape from the palace, Mu Shiyu had a plan, and said regretfully:
"It's a pity that the pregnant woman risked her life to accompany you into the palace to save others, and ended up like this."

As soon as these words came out, Pei Sheng's footsteps paused slightly, even Li Sheng in his arms looked in disbelief, and it was because of this moment of hesitation that Mu Shiyu approached Pei Sheng.

Pei Sheng took a big step back, stepped on the ground, avoided the steps dangerously, and landed on the corridor only about ten steps away from the north gate of the harem.

Mu Shiyu also floated down and stood in front of the north gate to prevent Pei Sheng from escaping.

Pei Sheng glanced around quickly, but he didn't see Yu Hua's figure, panic spread in his heart, pointed his long sword at Mu Shiyu, and said angrily:

"What did you do to Yu Hua?"

Mu Shiyu said calmly, "It's nothing, I just knocked her out. As for the Shenwuwei who arrived, I don't know."

Whoever enters the palace to save someone is still dragging his feet, this Pei Sheng seems to be good-looking, why is there something wrong with his mind.

"You!" Pei Sheng had never been so entangled and painful in his heart. It was difficult to choose between his childhood sweetheart and his lifesaver.
