Chapter [-]: Goodbye Xiao Yi

three days?Dong Ling Jue's eyes dimmed slightly, but after only a moment, he regained his usual vigor and asked, "How is the rebuilding going?"

Fortunately, at least Concubine De was not asked, Yanfeng heaved a sigh of relief, and hurriedly replied: "It's still under construction, Mr. Shen Mengzhong has dispatched manpower, and it should be completed in a few days."

Dong Lingjue nodded, and said again: "Order to prepare a batch of fast horses tomorrow morning."

Finally came, Yanfeng bit the bullet, knelt down and said desperately: "Your Majesty, three days have passed, even if you chase again, you will not be able to catch up. It is important that you take care of the dragon body." [

Dong Lingjue's expression froze, he lowered his eyes to look at him, and said, "I'm going back to the palace, what are you guessing in vain?"

Yanfeng almost thought that he had heard it wrong, and it took him a while to react, and he replied almost excitedly: "This subordinate should be damned, let's do it now."

Dong Ling sat on the head of the bed, looked up, the night was pitch black, extraordinarily quiet, the room was lit with oil lamps, and there were familiar simple decorations, but he was the only one living here.

In the deep palace, Rong Zixuan and Mianyi Mianfang were guarding under the lamp, and they couldn't sleep all night.These days have passed, and there is no news from Dong Lingjue.Mingming's father said that he had made all the preparations and was only waiting for the right opportunity, and there was even a secret report back and forth that Dong Ling had already met Concubine De in Wujiang County and was seriously injured.Ordinarily, this is the best opportunity bestowed by God. Although she feels a little bit sad and painful, she still looks forward to the news of victory.

However, since then, there has been no sound.

"Your Majesty, you don't have to worry, Jiangbei is far away from here, maybe the letter will come tomorrow, you should arrange it earlier." Mian Yi knew that this was a matter of life and death, but she still comforted her softly.

"I'm afraid that if the letter doesn't come in the end, your majesty will take Concubine De back to the palace." Rong Zixuan looked at the burning wick in front of her, feeling an indescribably ominous premonition in her heart.It's all because that Concubine De is really lucky, she tried her best, but every time she always failed miserably.

Seeing that she was so uneasy, Mian Fang also persuaded: "Didn't Your Majesty let You Poor get rid of Xiao Yi? With Concubine De's temperament, if she knew about this, she would definitely not be able to bear it. Empress, don't worry, even When she comes back, with this incident, her life will not be better."

Yes, there is still this matter sideways, this time it must be different from the past.Rong Zixuan told herself this, and said to Mianyi: "After dawn, I will go to inquire again. If it is really impossible, ask my father to send someone to Wujiang to go there again."

She has risked everything and must not fail.

Although Tuoba Moyu didn't participate in politics, he still had a spare time in the court, so he went to the palace before dawn.When I came back, it was already noon, and as soon as I returned to the mansion, I told Mu Lan, "It's been arranged. After lunch, we will go to Zhuangjian Temple."

Mu Lan had already spent a tormented morning in the palace, and when she heard the news, she was immediately excited.After eating lunch in a hurry, she began to change clothes and makeup, pretending to be Xiao Haozi, the attendant next to Tuoba Moyu.

The carriage took them all the way to the West Street near the gate of the palace. The Zhuangjian Temple was built here against the palace.

Tuoba Moyu had obviously already arranged the guards, and when he reached the door, he took out the jade card representing his status as a prince, saying that he had got a good wine, and came to see King Qi.Mu Lan also hurriedly handed over the wine jar and food box in her hand for inspection.

After careful inspection, the guard opened the thick brass door behind him and let them in.

The inside is very big, and there is a courtyard when you go in, bypassing a huge bluestone screen, it is like an ordinary house, with a front hall, a middle courtyard, and behind it is the place where the prisoners are held.Completely different from the dark sky prison in Mu Lan's imagination, the cells here are built on the ground.

The three sides of the cell are walls made of bluestone, and the outer side is tightly separated by iron bars as thick as an arm. On the left side is an iron door with a big lock hanging on it.Mu Lan saw that most of the cells here were empty, and a few were occupied, and the people inside were also in ragged clothes, lying curled up at the innermost end, motionless, no different from dead people.

Thinking that Xiao Yi might be one of them, Mu Lan's nervous and excited mood was immediately overwhelmed by sadness.

Tuoba Moyu took the wine in her hand, took out a pack of stewed meat from the food box, and warned again: "King Qi's prison is on the east side, so let's go separately. Go, he's in the room at the end of here." , remember, we only have half a stick of incense time, we have to leave before the jailer changes shift, come and join me after you see him.” [

Time was urgent, and Mu Lan didn't dare to delay, she nodded, then turned and walked towards the innermost cell.

The closer she got, the more apprehensive she became, and finally, she walked to the iron fence in the last room.This cell was different from the others. Some hay was laid on the corner of the wall, and the person above was wrapped in a worn-out blanket and lay there motionless.

/>

As soon as she got closer, Mu Lan smelled a rotten smell, which made her nauseated. This made her subconsciously think of the smell of corpses, and her heart immediately tightened and ached.

"Xiao Yi..." Approaching the iron fence, she softly called his name, maybe it was because the voice was too low, but the man didn't respond, Mu Lan suddenly became anxious, and her voice also raised , "Xiao Yi, wake up quickly."

This time, the man finally reacted, his whole body was shocked like an electric shock, and then he quickly got up and turned his face away.

Mu Lan could hardly recognize him, his hair was a little disheveled, his face was much thinner than she remembered, and covered with beard.After the blanket slipped, revealing a body of tattered clothes.Mu Lan had been whipped, and she could tell at a glance that the clothes on his body were torn by the whip.There are many black marks on the clothes, but they are left after the blood has dried.

"Xiao Yi, it's me, I'm Jin Ning." Mu Lan waved to him with wet eyes, then hurriedly opened the food box in her hand, took out the food inside, and handed it in from the small hole under the iron gate , while weeping, said: "I'll bring you some food, hurry up, come and eat while it's hot."

"Princess?" Xiao Yi just stood there in a daze, without moving for a while, and said in disbelief, "Am I dreaming again?"

Mu Lan blinked away her tears sadly, pressed against the iron railing, and said, "Come here and take a look, and you'll know if it's a dream."

Hearing that her voice was right next to her ears, and the person did not disappear suddenly, it was much more real than the previous trance dreams, Xiao Yi shook his head again, and said: "No, how could the princess be here? Might see her."

Mu Lan took out the blood book that had been carefully kept all the way from her sleeve, showed it in front of his eyes and said, "Look, you wrote it to me, do you still recognize it?"

Xiao Yi looked at the words on the letter, and suddenly rushed towards her excitedly, snatched the letter, and looked at it in disbelief.

Seeing that he almost dragged one leg and half-crawled towards the iron railing, Mu Lan was stunned immediately, and ignored his strange behavior, only looked at his leg, and asked in a trembling voice: "Your leg What's wrong?"
