Chapter 245 Hidden Path

Shaohua almost forgot to breathe and struggle when he heard it. Although their words were obscure and their voices were different, they were "threatening", "ambit ambition" and " usurpation", and every word made her nervous to breathe.

Especially when he heard Mrs. Yan's fierce and arrogant words, Shaohua couldn't help pinching a cold sweat for her and howled in his heart: At least this is the Empress Dowager, and she doesn't want to be domineering.

But the more she listened, the colder her heart became. Suddenly, she felt that everything she knew was false, and all the truth covered up the lies.

"Empress dowager, I once had the honor to be a family with you. I'm just a pawn in your hand. At the beginning, you were good to me because you knew your aunt's concern, and I just satisfied the illusion you created. Later glory and wealth just made me grateful to you. But I said that the mountains, rivers, seas and sky I want, do you dare to give it to me? Mrs. Yan lit up her eyes, and her whole body looked radiant.

Empress Dowager He took a breath, her face turned red, and her anger fell into laughter when she touched her eyes, "My sister is always so free and easy. You know that I don't want to kill you. The harem is so lonely, and I will live a lonely life without you."

Knowing that she was trampled on her weakness, she chose to forgive again and again, not because of her inner guilt, but because she had no enemies in the harem for a long time. If she didn't even have the last person to speak, she would probably be bored in her life.

Mrs Yan was furious by what the Empress Dowager He said, as if she had been tolerating her.

"Thank you for not killing the Empress Dowager." Mrs. Yan gritted her teeth and replied, "Can you return the fifth mother to me?"

"This doesn't work." Empress Dowager He shook her head.

"Aren't you worried about me telling Erlang everything?" Mrs. Yan felt for the first time that she had no chance of winning in the face of Empress Dowager He.

Empress Dowager He actually smiled very happily and said, "I just said that my sister is smart. Why is she confused? You and I are all from the same boat. Even if I sink, what's good for you and Kaizhi? Besides, I'm Erlang's mother.

Originally, Mrs. Yan had given up when she heard the previous words, but the Empress Dowager wanted to emphasize the last sentence, which made Mrs. Yan smile: "The Empress Dowager doesn't have to emphasize to me who Erlang's mother is."

Empress Dowager He seemed to have been stepped on her tail. She immediately jumped up and did not look dignified and calmly. She said harshly, "His mother is me! Only me! Get out of here!"

Mrs. Yan knows that she has stimulated her too much today. After all, there are too many secrets and too many tacit understanding between them. As the Empress Dowager He said just said, if the ship sinks and the Empress Dowager He can't get any benefits, she will definitely go into the water, and Kaizhi and Lanzhi will certainly not escape. Mrs. Yan had no choice but to calm down and choose to leave.

And Shaohua, who was hiding in the secret room, was suddenly scared by the fierce scream of the Empress Dowager He. Before he realized why they had just quarreled, he only heard the Empress Dowager He keep shouting for Mrs. Yan to get out. Shaohua was shocked. If she missed this opportunity, she didn't know when she would leave here. Thinking of this, Shaohua struggled desperately to kick out a sound to attract Mrs. Yan's attention.

But without waiting for her to kick out a little movement, she didn't know what switch to kick. The slate on one side suddenly opened, and a dark and deep channel appeared, and the slate she was lying tilted and slid her into the channel. She couldn't even scream, and her whole body disappeared into the darkness.

"Mother, you indulge her too much." A hoarse voice came in from the door, looked at the empress dowager He sitting in a chair with a depressed face, and couldn't help sighing. After so many years, you don't have to carry General Yan's death on your shoulders. I don't think the general's wife will appreciate your feelings, but it will encourage her arrogance.

Empress Dowager He raised her eyes and saw a good-looking steward came in and blessed herself. She slowly regained her senses and said to her, "Ying'er, do you want me to kill her?"

Yingshang Palace is the dowry maid of Empress Dowager He, who has been following her since she entered the Second Palace. Since her husband's death, she has been widowed. Because she has no children under her knees, she simply pleaded to go to the palace to continue to serve the Empress Dowager He. Now she is the maid of honor in the Empress Dowager's bedroom.

"I dare not be presumptuous, but I just feel that the Empress Dowager's favoritism to the general's wife is too much." He said he didn't dare, but the expression of the Yingshang Palace was a faint mockery. The Empress Dowager should not have been ashamed of her. It is her blessing to be loyal to her. Instead, she stepped on the bamboo pole and took her grace for granted.

"Yinger, you are presumptuous." The Empress Dowager He was dissatisfied with the words of the Yingshang Palace.

Ying Shanggong frowned and immediately owed himself, "I'm just not worth it for the mother."

Empress Dowager He sighed, "Is it worth it? She has also done a lot for me. This is what she deserves."

The Yingshang Palace obviously couldn't see Mrs. Yan's arrogance and said bitterly, "Mother, you have a good temperament since childhood and are not mean to her, but she..."

The Empress Dowager He's tone calmed down and was dissatisfied with interrupting Ying Shanggong's words: "Enough, remember your own identity. After all, she is the mother of Xing Yonghou." Even if Mrs. Yan was presumptuous, even if she came out, she did not allow a slave to dictate to her.

Once again, because Mrs. Yan was reprimanded by the Empress Dowager He, the Ying Shang Palace calmed his temper and replied respectfully, "I know my mistakes and remember the teachings of the Empress Dowager."

Empress Dowager He leaned on the chair tiredly, supported her forehead with her hand, rubbed her fingers in her temple a few times, closed her eyes as if she were thinking, and seemed to be taking a nap. The Yingshang Palace beside him squeezed his lips and waited, not daring to disturb him, but his mind floated to what had just happened, and he couldn't hide a trace of resentment in his eyes.

Suddenly, Empress Dowager He suddenly seemed to remember something and shouted, "Yinger, come and see how the girl is!"

The Yingshang Palace immediately reacted and hurried to the wardrobe behind the screen. Mrs. Yan just had time. Before they had time to hide Shaohua, she arrived in a hurry. Fortunately, she took a hairpin on Shaohua's head, which made people drive out quickly. Yingshang Palace opened two cabinet doors, moved the two stacks of velvet at the bottom, and pulled out a layer of wooden partition to reveal a large stone slab. She pushed it with her hand, and the stone slab slid lightly into the wall.

But the empty space in front of her made Ying Shanggong panic. She hurried to the Empress Dowager He to apologize, "Empress, Mrs. Hou is gone!" When Empress Dowager He heard this, she was shocked and sat up at the table. Ying Shanggong turned his mind and quickly said, "Will it slip into the secret palace?"

The expression of the Empress Dowager He immediately condensed. The so-called secret palace is actually a dark room hidden under the palace. The imperial city is so big that there will inevitably be several dark rooms hidden under the palace. However, some are used to escape, some are used for storage, and some are used as cold palace execution rooms. In the secret palace under the bedroom, the Empress Dowager He has imprisoned many concubines, and even the Empress Dowager He herself can't count them.

If Shaohua really falls in, it will be troublesome, which is bound to arouse Hongyi's suspicion.

However, a person disappeared in her bedroom for no reason, and she is still pregnant. In case something goes wrong in the secret palace, she will be even more difficult to deal with. Empress Dowager He pondered for a moment and whispered, "Sent someone to find her immediately and carry her out quickly." She hesitated for a moment, "If you find it, send it to Qingyue Palace."

Ying Shanggong's eyes widened a little, and he almost didn't say the sentence "Qingyue Palace is not haunted". He agreed in a low voice and hurriedly retreated.

Looking at the figure of Yingshang Palace leaving in a hurry, the Empress Dowager He seemed to smile, but said in her heart: If she could come out of the Qingyue Palace alive, no one would doubt it even if she died.

But at this moment, Shaohua can't wait to die.

She didn't expect that there would be a secret road directly from the Empress Dowager's bedroom. Because her stomach was heavy, she slipped quickly, which scared her to open her mouth for help. Unfortunately, even a voice was released, and it could only make a hoarse and dry babbling. In order to control the speed, she had to rub the slate with her hand, but the speed was reduced, but the friction along the way worn out her palm.

It was probably fortunate that her clothes were thick enough, so there was no injury except for the palm of her hand. When she fell to the ground, the child in her stomach turned excitedly, making Shaohua angry and laugh. The only blessing was that the rope on his hand could also be worn. Shaohua broke free from it in three or two times. He just looked at the skin and fleshy palms and suddenly sweated with pain on his forehead.

I finally untied the rope on my feet and barely stood up straight. I was really ready to observe around and find a way to escape.

But she saw a pair of shining eyes in the corner, like mice and people. In the dark, she couldn't see each other clearly, and only vaguely felt that the eyes were a little scary. And her eyes fell straight on her, as if she were stared at by a hungry wolf in the dark, which made her back feel cold. She couldn't help grasping her fist and retreat step by step.

However, Shaohua obviously didn't expect that his hand had just been injured. He clenched his fingernails into his skin and skin, and he shouted in pain.

It was okay if she didn't shout. Although she couldn't shout anything, her bright eyes looked at her opening her mouth and immediately rushed over. Shaohua immediately softened his feet and did not have the usual courage and courage at all. I only felt that a pair of surprisingly thin hands covered her mouth, but the strength was so great that it could hold her throat and make her breathless.

Shaohua struggled to touch the hair comb on his head and was about to pull it out as a weapon. No matter what, he wanted to get out. Suddenly, his belly shook, which obviously shocked the other party. He actually loosened Shaohua's neck and shouted, "Child..."

The first reaction is to finally breathe fresh air, and the other party is a personal one.

But when she felt that the hand that had just pinched her neck touched her stomach, she immediately bent down, protected her stomach, pulled an almost silent hoarse voice and shouted, "Don't touch it!"
