Chapter 531 The Three Caves of the Cunning Rabbit
After bathing and changing clothes, Princess Ping'an regained her former glory. In the west building, Song Nan sat opposite her and quietly watched Princess Ping An drinking a bowl of bird's nest porridge, and her heart was full of guilt.
Princess Ping'an was a little embarrassed by Song Nan's burning eyes, but she was really hungry and didn't care about any etiquette to eat a bowl of porridge.
"Princess, let's have another bowl." Qingluan whispered beside him.
Princess Ping'an shook her head and said, "Enough, Qingluan, you go and eat some. You have suffered more than me these days. Thank you very much."
Qingluan whispered, "What did the princess say? The maidservant should do it."
Princes Ping'an nodded and said, "You are fine. Go ahead. I have something to say to Lord Song."
Qingluan answered, cleaned up the dishes and walked slowly, and gently closed the door.
The candlelight jumped on the case. Princess Ping'an got up and handed over tea for Song Nan. She sat on Song Nan's side and sighed and whispered the situation of the past few days. On that day, King Anhua could not assassinate Song Nan, which damaged Ye Baoren and Ye Baoyi's two powerful guards, and vented all his anger on Princess Ping'an County. He was forcing Ping'an County. After admitting his mistake, the Lord ordered someone to drive Princess Ping'an and Qingluan out of the west building and let them live in a low house in the southwest corner of the yard.
King Anhua said that since the princess eats inside and crawls to help outside, she does not deserve the treatment of the princess. When will she take the initiative to admit her mistake and when will she restore the status of the princess; the princess must live in a shabby house and work for forgiveness. She must clean the fallen leaves and snow in the yard every day to get full food, otherwise she will not be allowed. Give them food.
In this way, from that night, Princess Ping'an's servants worked in the yard during the day and slept on the straw shop of the small shabby house at night. The daily food was also nests and pickles. How could the spoiled princess of the royal palace have suffered such pain, but Princess Ping'an actually gritted her teeth and persisted, resolutely not to admit her mistake to the king of Anhua. Qingluan, the maidservant beside her, took care of the princess every day and did most of her work. The master and servant lived so hard.
The day can still survive, and the night is cold and piercing. The master and servant hug and snuggle together to keep warm. Yun'er, a maidservant who had made friends with Qingluan, couldn't see it. She secretly sent clothes and food one night, but was caught by Mrs. Ma and other servants arranged by the prince in the West Building, who were secretly staring at her and locked Yun'er in the woodshed for several days. Since then, the West Tower has the intention to secretly help the princess's servants.
In just more than ten days, it seemed that ten years had passed in the eyes of the servants of the princess of Ping'an. Today, Song Nan suddenly appeared to save him, as if the person who was about to drown was suddenly picked up, his eyes were full of sunshine, and he felt more and more desperate.
Listening to the whispered narrative of Princess Ping'an, Song Nan sighed. Although she knew in her heart that Princess Ping's life must be difficult during this period, she didn't expect it to be so difficult; King Anhua's move was actually a disguised way to kill them. In such a cold place, the night of the leaking hut around must be as cold as ice. Cellar, such a large yard must be cleaned during the day to get pickles. Isn't this forcing them to die?
Song Nan's heart was stirred. She reached out and suddenly grabbed Princess Ping's little hand, gently wiped the palm of her hand with her fingers, and found that the chapped part of her hand, which was the mark of cold and hard work.
"The princess suffered, and Song couldn't get rid of this. In order to save Song's life, the princess was tortured so much, and Song was really uneasy." Song Nan sighed.
Princess Ping'an blushed and gently broke away, broke away her little hand and whispered, "Don't think so. I'm not doing this entirely for you. Don't forget what you promised me."
"Yes, so I came today and heard the shouts in the royal palace. Did you see the firelight and the sound of the blades at the front door? That's when my man is attacking the gate of the palace; my promise will be fulfilled today, and tonight I will capture Zhu Yu alive and let him kneel in front of you and beg for mercy.
Princess Ping'an smiled and said, "I knew you wouldn't ignore me, and it's not in vain for me to suffer so much. There is no need for him to kneel in front of me and beg for mercy. After all, he is my uncle. He raised a rebellion, and the emperor and the court will punish him. I only ask the Qing Palace to restore peace, and my brother and I can live a peaceful life.
"The princess is really an open-minded person, whatever, it's up to you."
"Don't call me princess, Fengtong, you can call me by my name, and I can also call you by your name." Princess Ping said softly.
Song Nan smiled and said, "Okay, so as not to share. Miss Fengtong, although the attack at the main gate was fierce, it was not very effective, so I took this strategy of attacking the east and west. I took people into the palace to take advantage of the chaos to unexpectedly attack Zhu Yu's residence and draw a salary from the bottom of the pot. Can you tell me where Zhu Yu's residence is?
Princess Ping'an frowned and said, "Why are you wearing guards' clothes? So that's it. However, the man's residence is heavily guarded. He is very alert. No matter whether he eats or sleeps, the guards around him will not leave. Especially the top ten guards under him, although Ye Baoren and Ye Baoyi are dead, the other eight people's martial arts are also very tight. Coupled with the other guards around him, your hands may not work. "
Song Nan said, "You don't have to worry about this. You just need to tell me the location, and everything else belongs to me."
Princess Ping'an thought for a moment and said, "Well, I'll take you there in person. His residence is on the side of the mind hall, but there are many checkpoints. Just telling you the place, you still can't find it."
Song Nan waved his hand and said, "No, it's too dangerous. Just draw a sketch and explain it to me."
Princess Ping'an shook his head and said, "I have to go, because my brother King Qingding also lives near there. I have to save him, otherwise I will never be at ease."
Seeing her resolute words, Song Nan knew that it would delay time if she continued to pester it. It had been delayed for more than half an hour here. The brothers outside were working hard and could no longer waste time, so she nodded and said, "Okay, but you must pretend to be a guard to follow me. I want to ensure your safety."
Princess Ping'an smiled and said, "Do you still need to say that? If I don't follow you, who else will you follow?"
Song Nan smiled, and Princess Ping An suddenly felt that there was ambiguity in her words and said hurriedly, "I mean, follow you to protect me."
Song Nan got up and said, "It's not too late. Zhu Yu must be caught before the foreign reinforcements in Tianliang City turn back, otherwise everything will be over."
Song Nan ordered people to take off the clothes of the fallen guard at the gate of the courtyard, picked up a slightly thin set and sent it upstairs. After a while, Princess Ping'an came downstairs in the guard's clothes, which was also decent, but her face was whiter and she walked a little twisted. However, Song Nan didn't want her to pretend to be like. She just wanted to simply hide her identity so as not to be recognized and notice that the West Building has changed.
The group of people went out of the west building and walked to the gate of the courtyard. There was a long maid of the west building kneeling on the roadside, one by one with whipped blood stains. On the two adjacent trees, Ma and another woman were tied up, all blood on their bodies and had already died.
Princess Ping'an squeezed her lips tightly and kept silent. Song Nan whispered, "This is the punishment they deserve. As your slaves, they are greedy for life and forget righteousness. The two are even more for the tiger and torture you for Zhu Yu. This is the price they pay."
Princess Ping An whispered, "They are also innocent."
Song Nan sneered and said, "There are no innocent people in the world. Everyone needs to be responsible for his actions. If order is to be maintained, someone must prove it at the cost of his life."
Princess Ping'an sighed, "Although the slave family can't bear it, I know you're right."
Under the guidance of Princess Ping'an, the group avoided the main road running through the royal palace and headed south. The footsteps on the trunk road were faintly loud, and it seemed that they were all heading in the direction of the main gate. Song Nan speculated that the pressure at the main gate was huge, and Zhu Yu had to order the mobilization of guards from other places to rush to reinforce. ; It is not a good thing for Hou Dabiao, who attacked at the main entrance, but it is good news for Song Nan.
Because they not only had to avoid the ubiquitous guards, but also to avoid being discovered by others, the road that everyone walked was extremely remote. Several times, even Princess Ping'an himself was confused and led people into the dead end. Fortunately, this group of guards had ropes and hooks, so they climbed over the wall all the way to the hospital and climbed the tree and climbed over the house, tossed for half an hour. After that, I finally saw one of the three halls of the royal palace standing in the night sky from afar.
There are large courtyards and houses in the north of the Heart Hall. This is the place where the families live in the royal palace. The collateral line of the Qingwang Mansion, Zhu Yu's family and concubines brought from the royal palace of Qingyang County all live here. A large wall isolates them from the outside and standing outside the wall, and you can clearly hear them crying and running in the house in the courtyard. The sound of walking.
"There is an inconspicuous courtyard next to the Heart Hall. Others think that he will definitely live in the Heart Hall, but in fact, he lives in that yard." Princess Ping An whispered in Song Nan's ear.
"Okay, everyone, get ready. It's about to cross the inner courtyard in front of you. It's all cheer me up. It's a great achievement to catch Zhu Wei alive." Song Nan shouted in a low voice.
The guards rubbed their hands and prepared to do a big fight.
Princess Ping'an suddenly said, "Soong Nan, no one has ever entered that yard, but I heard that the yard is a little strange and should not be taken lightly."
"What a strange method?"
"I don't know about this, but it's best to be careful. This person is elusive. Since the daily escort does not leave, how can he stay in an ordinary courtyard without being strange?"
Song Nan nodded and said, "That's right, be careful; where does King Qingding live?"
Princess Ping'an pointed to the wall in front of her and said, "It's in this yard, living with the family in the house."
Song Nan said, "Okay, we happened to save the little prince by the way."
Wang Yong probed his head and whispered, "Your Excellency, the rope has been hung up."
Song Nan waved his hand and said, "Up, inside is the residence of the royal family. Tell your brothers not to kill indiscriminately. If you can avoid it, avoid it. Come back to liquidate."
Wang Yong bowed his hand and ordered the guards to climb up the rope. Song Nan turned his head and opened his arm to Ping'an County and said, "Come on."
Princess Ping'an lowered her head and moved her head. Just like when she climbed over the wall house before, she moved her little waist to Song Nan's arms and hooked Song Nan's neck. Song Nan stepped on the rope buckle, fixed it with one hand, and hugged Princess Ping'an tightly with the other hand. Several guards on the wall pulled the two on the wall together.
