Self-cultivation of Kuaichuan Green Tea

Chapter 15 The First Mission World (14)

Qu Lingyuan was in the prison, and asked Yiling to monitor the emperor's movements. After hearing the news that the empress dowager was under house arrest, her teeth chattered in anger, and she even wanted to punch the emperor with her fists.

Wishes are beautiful, but reality is cruel. The probability of this idea being realized is basically 0.

"Yiling, is there a way for me to escape?" In the dark and damp prison, Qu Lingyuan squatted on the straw mat, flicking the dirt off her skirt distressedly, looking quite pitiful.

Yiling looked at Qu Lingyuan, and turned his hands behind his back to imitate the teacher's words: "Children can't be taught, let's be flexible, your extraction skills can be used to dismantle the iron railings, but as for how to avoid the guards outside, you still have to work hard." Figure it out on your own."

After hearing Yi Ling's words, Qu Lingyuan crouched in a corner and began to think carefully about the way to escape.

With a flash of inspiration, Qu Lingyuan stood up from the ground, grabbed the railing and shouted: "Is there anyone! Is there - someone -?"

"Stop shouting, stop shouting, what's the matter?" The guard outside came over after hearing the shout.

"Excuse me, is this palace allowed to visit the prison?" Qu Lingyuan said very politely.

The guard thought about it carefully before answering: "The emperor didn't give special instructions, so it should be possible."

"Then can you please send a message for this palace to call Ruoxi, the maid of Xiyun Palace?" As she said that, Qu Lingyuan lowered her head and took out an ingot of silver from her bosom.

In this palace, the lower the official positions, the more greedy they are for money.

Qu Lingyuan understood the truth of this well, and thought that it was a good thing that Ruoxi was asked to help her purchase materials for making explosives at any time for convenience, and she always carried the money with her.

Sure enough, the guard who saw the oil and water hesitated for a moment, took the money and put it in his arms, leaving a sentence: "Just wait for the news."

After settling this matter, Qu Lingyuan became more honest. Fortunately, although the emperor put her in a prison, he did not treat her badly. The food was pretty good. She couldn't starve to death, and he didn't find anyone to abuse her. Unfortunately, it is the end of the year and the weather is too cold.
That night, Qianshan was snowing at dusk, the wind was bleak, and the entire capital city was covered in heavy snow.

The auspicious snow heralds a good year, and the common people are overjoyed. Qu Lingyuan, who is still in the prison, looks out of the window with high iron bars on the wall and sees the heavy snow that has fallen all night like goose feathers. Concerns about the frontline battlefield.

The capital is also in the north, not far from the northern border battlefield. The person who sent the emperor's letter arrived at the border in just a few days.

The sound of shouting and killing spread along the streets and alleys. Some of the people moved, and some were stationed here because they were reluctant to leave their homes. Outside the city, the flag of which side fell at the feet of the soldiers. It was stained with mud and blood. Can't see what it looks like.

The heavy snow added a little more difficulty to the battle. Shen Qingmo was in the camp, thinking about countermeasures.

Every time the plan discussed with everyone would be known and deciphered by the enemy army, after these days of inspection and observation, he could almost conclude that this rebel was General Zhen Guo.

But why?
Shen Qingmo couldn't figure it out, General Zhen Guo was a diehard loyalist to the emperor, yet he would betray the country and reveal the battle plan to the enemy?
"Report—" Outside the tent, a soldier ran in with a sealed and undamaged letter, knelt on one knee and said, "My lord, a letter from the capital."

Beijing?

Shen Qingmo took the letter and removed the wax.

From the Prince Regent:
Princess Yueyun has no heart, and I have already put her in prison. If she wants to release her, I will hand over Zhengui.

In just one line of writing, Shen Qing could see that the whites of Mo's eyes were red, and the hand holding the letter was bulging with veins. The letter was wrinkled badly, and even one corner was crushed.

Zhengui is a dragon-shaped jade pendant left by the late emperor, representing military power. When the late emperor passed away, he was not optimistic about his son's ability, so he handed over Zhengui to Shen Qingmo for safekeeping.

Although Shen Qingmo has given the emperor the right to use military force over the years, he has not handed over Zhengui to him. In the eyes of the emperor, as long as Zhengui is still in the hands of the regent, the military power is in the hands of two people. His power will be threatened.

Shen Qingmo resisted the urge to return to the capital immediately. If he wanted to seize power, would Shen Xiaoyi be able to be the emperor in peace until now?
Such a Shen Xiaoyi, such an emperor, has been thinking about this all the time, even threatening Yuan'er.

General Zhen Guo is unreliable, and the current situation does not allow him to leave the soldiers and return to the capital immediately.

Thinking of Qu Lingyuan who had been a charming princess for more than ten years, and now squatting in a prison, Shen Qingmo's heart ached for a while. It seemed that he shouldn't be so fond of Qu Lingyuan in front of the emperor. The hero is saddened by the beauty pass , I didn't expect that Shen Xiaoyi would come up with such a dirty trick and defeat the army.

Now I'm afraid I can only think of some risky but effective tricks to end the battle early.

The two people who couldn't see each other were worried about each other, and Qu Lingyuan finally got what Ruoxi wanted to bring in the prison.

On the second day after bribing the guards last time, Ruoxi quietly came to visit the prison. Qu Lingyuan secretly told Ruoxi where the bomb was hidden, and asked her to bring the explosives to the prison in a few days, and prepare it for her. Dressed in a court lady's attire.

This time, Ruoxi came to deliver bombs and clothes.

It was still the guards who paid the prison with money, and the guards allowed things to be sent into the prison.

After Ruoxi left, Qu Lingyuan began to wait for the night to come.

"Oh, the female prisoner in the cell on the far side froze to death." Yi Ling sighed suddenly.

Qu Lingyuan was surprised when she heard it. She had the clothes and quilt that Ruoxi brought, and she didn't find it difficult. She didn't expect that people would be frozen to death. Is it so inhumane in the prison?

died
Eyes widened suddenly, Qu Lingyuan suddenly thought of a good way to create her own suspended animation.

"Yiling, is the dead female prisoner's figure much different from mine?" Qu Lingyuan asked excitedly.

"The difference is not very big. They are similar in height and thinner than you." Yi Ling didn't know what she was doing with these questions, so she just answered truthfully.

Qu Lingyuan stood up and looked out the window, confirming the layout of the prison.

There is a railing in front of the cell, which is connected to other cells on the left and right. If the wall at the back is pierced, you can go outside the cell. The walls of the cell are made of stone.
