The whole family travels with me

After the morning court, Tian Huo went to see Zhou Xuemei with a gloomy face. He saw that she was groggy and kept shouting "Wenfu" in her dream. An idea flashed in his mind and he immediately went to report to King Chen, "Your Majesty, the peace envoy I kept calling Wen Fu's name, and I thought it was Wen Fu who left Changxi Mansion privately and returned to Longcheng to kidnap the peace envoy, so he did not harm the two maids of the peace envoy.

According to Wei Chen's inference, Wen Fu's purpose was to send the peace envoy to Mrs. Wen, but because he was not familiar with Ciyun Nunnery, he mistakenly mistook Miss Gongsun's room for Mrs. Wen's room.

The peace envoy must have discovered a problem and wanted to leave, but accidentally fell down and was injured. Wei Chen thought that the Wen family should be captured as soon as possible. The truth about Wen Fu would be revealed as long as he found it. "

Tian Huo's words cannot withstand scrutiny, but King Chen has long wanted to attack the Wen family, so he sent people to capture all the Wen family members based on the reasons Tian Huo said.

The Zhou Jiawen family met in the cold palace. Zhou Xuemei's father, Zhou Boli, looked guilty, covered his face and cried bitterly, "In-laws, it's our family that has caused you trouble!"

Wen Tao, the head of the Wen family, had a free and easy look on his face, "Life and death are determined by themselves and have nothing to do with you."

He knew in his heart that if he surrendered to King Chen like the Gongsun family, nothing would happen to the Wen family, but he could not bow to such a foolish king.

Mrs. Wen was in a state of embarrassment, but her back was straight, "The master is right. I have been fasting and chanting Buddha for many years, and I have long taken life and death lightly. It's just a pity that Xuemei stayed in Longcheng to fulfill her filial piety. Instead, she became a A victim of a power struggle!”

Mrs. Zhou looked at her unconscious daughter, bursting into grief and crying.

Other Zhou family members also cried silently.

Zhou Xuemei had actually woken up long ago, but she didn't dare to move, so she could only pretend to be unconscious until late at night before slowly opening her eyes.

Mrs. Zhou kept holding her, and was the first to notice that she was awake. When she was about to speak out, Zhou Xuemei covered her mouth.

No one else dared to speak in the darkness. When they saw Zhou Xuemei quietly walking to the door to observe what was going on outside, she kept standing. Others didn't dare to make any moves and just watched.

She waited until dawn before she continued to lie back and pretend to be unconscious.

Everyone knew from the way she moved quickly that she was fine, and because she pretended to be dizzy, everyone knew there was a reason even if they didn't understand, so they all tacitly ignored it.

The palace servants came over to deliver several meals. During this period, Mrs. Zhou wanted to feed Zhou Xuemei some, but she couldn't swallow a bite. Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Wen secretly hid some food and waited until dark before letting Zhou Xuemei eat it. .

This time she started taking action as soon as it got dark. According to the information given by Tian Huai, the secret passage was in the abandoned well in Leng Palace. The abandoned well was in the side courtyard next door. From the yard where they lived to the side courtyard, they would pass through an open area. , after observing last night, she found that there were not many guards in Leng Palace, only two at the gate, but there were quite a few soldiers patrolling outside. A group of people passed by in less than a quarter of an hour, as long as they made less noise and did not disturb Those two soldiers would be fine.

After making up her mind, Zhou Xuemei made several gestures in the dark. Everyone almost understood what she meant. Everyone looked solemn, but no one said a word, because this was their only chance.

With so many people walking around at once, it was too quiet and caused several waves.

Zhou Boli resolutely let the old, weak, women and children in the family go first. Wen Tao also asked Mrs. Wen to follow the women of the Zhou family. Mrs. Wen was unwilling. Zhou Xuemei looked pleading, so she could only sigh and agree.

Zhou Boli and Wen Tao looked at each other in the dark, understanding each other tacitly, and walked to the door together, leaning against the door frame and expressing their sorrow to the moon.

"In-laws, are all the people in your family asleep?" Wen Tao's voice was very low and very muffled, but in the quiet night, you could hear it clearly if you strained your ears.

Zhou Boli sighed and said in a loud voice: "Sleep! You just came here yesterday. I don't know what to say. We have lived here for a long time and have long been used to it. You will get used to it after a while, hey! If not In our family, you will not be implicated to this extent!" "Stop talking about it! The matter has come to this, and we have accepted it. My old life is gone if it is gone. I just suffered a lot from my eldest daughter-in-law. She is old. lightly."

Wen Tao and Zhou Boli were talking to each other while Zhou Xuemei and others quietly slipped out of the back door.

Their hearts were almost in their throats, but they still chatted leisurely, talking about everything from reminiscing about the past to lamenting the Ming Dynasty.

Everyone here arrived at the abandoned well. Brother Zhou Xuemei grabbed the cloth and went down the well without saying a word. When he landed, he pulled the cloth. Zhou Xuemei felt confident and quickly asked the children to go down first, followed by Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Wen. She The last one went down the well and pulled off the cloth strip.

The two people who have been chatting here estimate that the time is almost up.

Zhou Boli yawned and said, "Go to sleep, you can still see the sunrise tomorrow."

"The in-laws said, let's go and have a rest!" Wen Tao responded, and the two of them got up and walked in. When they almost reached the place, they immediately slowed down their steps and slipped out of the back door.

The two soldiers guarding outside curled their lips in disdain, pretending to be open-minded and hypocritical even when they were about to die!

After Zhou Boli and Wen Tao landed safely, they did not dare to show their anger and hurriedly got into the small hole.

Zhou Xuemei asked them to leave first, and she stayed to block the entrance of the cave. In this way, the people above would not know the mystery inside unless they jumped down the well.

After doing this, she followed the large group of people. The group kept moving forward with hunched bodies. After walking for almost half an hour, they were finally able to straighten their backs.

Tian Huai is waiting here with a group of men in black.

Zhou Xuemei's eyes lit up when she saw him, and she hurried forward, "I have done everything you asked me to do, but this secret passage is not hidden. Sooner or later they will find us when they find out that we have escaped."

Zhou Boli asked suspiciously: "Who is this?"

"It's me." Tian Huai pulled down his scarf.

Everyone was stunned, "Prince Tian!"

Tian Huai curled his lips and said, "This is not the place to talk. You go first. My people are waiting outside, and I will deal with the aftermath here."

Now that he is here, he will naturally give King Chen a big gift.

Zhou Wen and Zhou saw that Tian Huai seemed to have a backbone and had blind confidence in escaping from Dragon City.

After dawn, the imperial guards went to the cold palace to deliver meals as usual. When the door opened, they found that it was empty. King Chen was furious when he received the news. He covered Tian Huo's head and scolded him, "This is the person you brought! A group of living people are here." They ran away under the noses of the Imperial Guards! You know nothing! What are you doing to keep waste like you alone? Tian Huo! I'll give you one day to catch those traitors. If you haven't found them before dark, come back. See!"

Tian Huo was sweating and quickly gathered people to arrest him. However, they turned the cold palace upside down and couldn't find anyone. Seeing that half a day had passed, he could only run back to Xiwuhou Mansion to find Tian Lin for help.
