After a while, no movement was heard outside, and Zhao Xueying was about to turn the switch.

Feng Manyun hurriedly grabbed her hand and said, "What if there is danger?"

"Mother, don't worry, nothing will happen."

Seeing her confident appearance, Feng Manyun had no choice but to put her hands down.

Zhao Xueying turned the switch, and the door burst open.

In the dim light, it can be seen that the exit is on a small hill covered with thorns, and there are thorns and shrubs as cover outside, which is quite hidden.

Zhao Xueying asked Feng Manyun to wait inside, and she came out first and looked around.

This is a small mountain. Standing here and looking towards Lin'an, one can see the burning flames of Lin'an City, and one can see crowds of people in the firelight.

There was nothing unusual outside, so Zhao Xueying went in and asked Feng Manyun and the maids to take off the hair ornaments on their heads, and then put on the spare common people's clothes they found in the passage.

The person who designed the passage really had ulterior motives, not only was there a dense network of traps, but he also prepared disguised clothes.

After some dressing up, they look like ordinary people.

Zhao Xueying said: "Mother, I will arrange you well first, and then go to ask for reinforcements."

"Reinforcement?" Feng Manyun said in disbelief, "Where are you going to ask for reinforcements? You are not familiar with this place, not as many people as I know."

Zhao Xueying said: "Don't worry, Queen Mother, I naturally have my own method. Don't talk too much, let's move to a safe place now."

Zhao Xueying took a group of people to a nearby town, exchanged some jewelry for money, and let the group live in an inn.

Everything is arranged properly, and the sky is already daylight.

Zhao Xueying took Lingyin downstairs to inquire about the situation.

Because of the war, although it was just dawn, a lot of people had gathered downstairs, chatting in groups of three and two.

A said: "Why can't I hear the sound?"

B said: "There is a temporary truce. After fighting all night, both sides are tired."

A asked: "Young Master's reinforcements haven't arrived yet?"

B said: "Such a long distance, even if we arrive, it will take three or four days. How can it be so fast?"

A said: "It seems that Your Majesty is in danger."

B continued, "The common people are used to it. How can there be a rest in the past few years? We common people should live our lives and let them call."

B shook his head, sighed, and said: "If they really fight on their own, those refugees and rogues don't have trouble, don't they all flee to nearby places to do some thugs and robbers, it's really hard for the people, and the people are dead. Bitter. We ordinary people just wonder why it is so difficult to live our own peaceful life?"

After listening to what they said, Zhao Xueying figured out the current situation, the most important thing right now is to find a matchmaking person according to Wanyan Lie's instructions, so that she can tell Wanyan Lie the letter and let Wanyan Lie come to rescue them.

After leaving the door of the inn, Zhao Xueying suddenly pulled Lingyin aside and hid.

Suzune was about to ask.

Zhao Xueying hastily made a silent gesture, and said in a low voice, "Someone is following us."

Sure enough, as soon as they came out on their front feet, Caiyue came out on their back feet.

Lingyin opened her eyes wide and looked at Zhao Xueying.

Zhao Xueying said: "Caiyue can't let Caiyue tip off the news."

"Ah."

Zhao Xueying whispered a few words in Lingyin's ear, making a sound on purpose.

Caiyue hurriedly followed, but what she saw was Lingyin walking alone.

Where did Zhao Xueying go?
Regardless, Zhao Xueying won't be far away if she follows the bell.

Lingyin led Caiyue to a remote alley, and suddenly stopped, turned around sharply, and met Caiyue face to face.

Caiyue couldn't dodge in time, so she could only look at her and said, "Where's the princess?"

Lingyin asked, "Who are you from?"

"Do you think I'd be so stupid to tell you that?"

Lingyin said with a smirk, "Of course."

Caiyue didn't know what she meant, and a needle pricked her back.

Caiyue turned her head and saw Zhao Xueying standing behind her leisurely.

"What did you do to me?" Caiyue asked.

Zhao Xueying just looked at her and smiled, without speaking.

Caiyue felt pain all over her body, dizzy, and fell to her knees on the ground.

"You... what did you do to me?"

Zhao Xueying smiled and said: "The needle is poisonous, if you want to survive, tell me, who are you?"

Caiyue hesitated.

"You can't live by doing your own crimes, Lingyin, let's go." Zhao Xueying said and was about to leave.

"I said, I said!!" Caiyue was very emotional.

She can't die.

Zhao Xueying turned around and looked at her.

"I... I belong to the imperial concubine. She asked me to kill you in the chaos. I didn't expect you to discover the secret way. I haven't had time to kill you." Caiyue said, "I've said everything now, you can Give me the antidote?"

Zhao Xueying said coldly: "Do you know why I didn't tie you up?"

"..."

"Because there is no cure for this poison, it can be regarded as a lesson for you to deceive and entrap my mother."

Caiyue roared in pain, but finally let out a muffled groan, and died on the ground with her eyes open.

Zhao Xueying wandered the street with Lingyin.

Lingyin asked: "Miss, I haven't seen any shops selling porcelain."

"Khan said that his influence spreads all over the country of Liang, and he uses the porcelain shop as a place of contact. There is nothing wrong with it, so look carefully."

"it is good."

At the end of the night, Yan Lie took advantage of the chaos in Lin'an to sneak into the palace and arrived at Zhao Han's bedroom.

Wanyan Lie said to the shadow guard: "Look around, is there a secret passage here?"

"Yes!"

According to the news from Jia Sidao, Zhao Han would never allow anyone to enter his bedroom, even the maids in the palace.

This is very strange.

There must be hidden secrets in his bedroom.

A group of people searched everywhere, but they couldn't find anything suspicious. Just when Wanyan Lie was at a loss, Wanyan Lie found a treasured sword in front of the wall.

There are ink paintings all around, and it is really strange to have a sword in the middle.

Wanyan Lie walked over, picked up the sword, saw no reaction from the surroundings, put down the sword, moved the sword holder, and the wall covered with ink paintings burst open in response.

The rich families in Liang State would dig some secret passages in their homes to prevent thieves from attacking them, and the imperial palace was even worse in terms of secret passages.

Wanyan Lie went in along the secret passage, and closed the switch tightly from the inside.

There are lights on in the secret passage, it seems that Zhao Han often comes in.

Going inside is a big dark room.

Inside the dark room was a man with disheveled hair. His clothes were ragged, and a pair of surprisingly bright eyes could be seen through the hair.

Seeing someone come in, the man was full of fear.

Wan Yanlie asked: "Who are you? What's your name?"

The man only knew how to dodge, hesitated and couldn't speak.

Wanyan Lie motioned to the shadow guards, and the two shadow guards walked over, restrained the man, and opened his mouth.

Wanyan Lie could clearly see that this person had his tongue cut out in an extremely cruel manner, and he was tortured to the point of insanity.
