Yuan Qiu also sighed. The struggle for imperial power was indeed terrible. It was common for relatives to disown each other.
She stood up and looked at the dark room and asked: "This is the imperial city, where you have lived all your life. I'm afraid no one knows this place better than you. Is there any way out in this secret room?" In front of the emperor's eyes A glimmer of starlight emerged, and he said happily: "There is indeed an exit hidden under this bed, but I am poisoned by the cartilage pill, and I am weak and unable to save myself and escape. Now that you are here, you should quickly move away from this bed and escape." Go out and find Yan'er."
Xia Yuanqiu shook his head: "Let's go together. I will never leave you." Her eyes were firm. Now that she was here, she had no intention of leaving empty-handed.
The emperor couldn't resist her, so he could only obey her words, let her sit down on the bed, and let her help him to another open space to sit down and rest, while she moved the couch away.
The couch wood was heavy, and it took almost all her strength for her to move a small inch away.
If this continues, even if Zhu Sheng is rescued, she won't be able to move away from the bed.
"If you take off all the bedding from the bed, it might make it lighter." The emperor looked at Xia Yuanqiu with distress. How could such a delicate woman move such a heavy wood couch? Even he would find it difficult.
Yuan Qiu followed his words and threw aside the bedding on the bed. Then he saw that the bed boards on the horizontal couch were movable. He was overjoyed and hurriedly removed them one by one. Once the bed boards were removed, the bed boards under the bed were exposed. There is a hole in the wall. The hole in the wall is blocked with unmixed blue bricks. All you have to do is remove them piece by piece.
The green bricks in the wall hole were removed piece by piece. It was not yet dawn outside, and it was still dark. There was even cold wind pouring in from the gaps in the hole. It was unknown where it was outside.
The emperor saw that she kept looking out, but could not figure out the reason, so he said: "Outside this wall is the back garden of the Yizheng Hall, where many flowers and plants are planted."
She thought about what happened in Xipo Village in the front line. Jiang Chunyan jumped from the wall with her eyes closed in order to meet Zhu Yan in Shixia Mansion. Unexpectedly, she jumped into a pond and almost lost her life.
She didn't want to make the same mistake as Jiang Chunyan. It didn't matter if she fell into the water alone. She couldn't be drowned, but if she took the emperor with her, it would be hard to say.
"Is there a pond in the back garden?"
The emperor shook his head, knowing her fear, and said: "There is no pond, so you can go out without worry. Someone will come soon, and I will try my best to help you drag it up."
Yuan Qiu shook his head: "No, let's go together. If you don't want to leave, then I won't leave either."
The emperor had no choice but to agree to go with her, and it took a lot of effort just to crawl out of the hole.

Cuiyun Palace
Su Mei came in a hurry and saw that the door of Cuiyun Palace was closed, so she asked the guard guarding the palace door: "Is Your Highness here?"
The guard nodded: "Your Highness came in at Youshi and never came out again."
"Your Highness went in alone?" Su Mei frowned slightly, feeling unhappy.
The guard first shook his head, and then nodded: "Your Highness was not alone when he came down. Later, he asked everyone to leave, so he was alone in the palace."
Su Mei didn't have time to think too much and rushed in immediately, passed through the front hall and went straight to the bedroom in the back hall.
As soon as the bedroom door opened, he heard His Highness calling: "Here comes someone! Are everyone dead?"
Su Mei hurried forward, passed through the heavy gauze curtains, and saw His Royal Highness Prince Liang lying flat on the bed.
"Your Highness!"
As soon as Zhu Sheng heard Su Mei's voice, he hurriedly said: "Quick, call the imperial doctor to come and remove the needle for me."
