Even if they go out now, it won't help. The imperial mausoleum is built like a maze, and strangers will definitely get lost if they walk in it.
But seeing so many corpses being carried out, all of them with hideous faces and missing limbs, Lu Hua became more and more frightened.
"I just said that the princess can't go out. She stays in the palace and nothing happens. There's nothing wrong with staying in the mansion. Something will happen when she comes out."
"I used to think that the wangfei was not compatible with that imperial palace, but now it seems that only the Ninth Prince's Mansion is the safest place for the wangfei."
The more Hong Shao said, the more frightened she became, thinking about what happened before, the more she felt that her guess was right.
Lu Hua nodded, she also thought so, but they were just maidservants, Xiao Ting was the master, and she had such a noble status as the Ninth Princess, how could they persuade them
What they didn't expect, not long after, Yuchi appeared here, with a look of horror on his face and asked inexplicably, "Where is Xiaoyun?"
Seeing his appearance, Chu Yun was very happy, and walked over from the corner, "My son is here, Uncle Yuchi, but the father is awake?"
"It's just that you're fine." Yuchi Xinhan looked him up and down, and felt relieved when he found that there was nothing serious.
"Your father is still awake."
Then he suddenly realized that there seemed to be something missing.
"Where is the princess?" Why isn't that woman here.
Upon hearing the news of Xiao Ting's disappearance, Yuchi's expression changed, and he immediately turned around and left, telling them to stay here, and Li Mo followed suit.
There is no danger in the underground palace at this moment, and no one needs protection. The two old men who brought them in escorted them out.
Time flies.
Until night fell, Xiao Ting followed the group back to the imperial city.
Along the way, she was looking for opportunities to listen to these people's speeches, but the pair of brothers and sisters seemed to be very taboo, and never mentioned the name of their organization directly. They only knew that they had a grudge with the Ninth Prince, and they really didn't hear a single word.
She was a little depressed, did she really have no potential to be a spy
Seeing that she had returned to the imperial city, she proposed to part ways, saying that she would go back to the Ninth Prince's Mansion to rescue soldiers.
But the woman felt that she couldn't leave, otherwise she could only be a dead person, her words were so cold and decisive that Xiao Ting was speechless.
"Hey, hey, I'm just a little maid, and I didn't hear what secrets you guys said, and you still want to kill people to silence them, do you have any conscience?"
"Conscience, don't you always think we are not good people?"
The woman tans.
Xiao Ting was speechless, "Then, why did you act now?" Along the way, they had plenty of opportunities.
The woman raised her eyebrows and looked at the stupid girl with some amusement, and said, "It's not easy to kill you earlier, but you have been safe all the way, and you haven't sent any news to the outside world. It seems that what you said is true and you didn't lie to us. Otherwise, do you think you can live till now?"
Hehe, while she was testing others, others were also testing him.
God, this society is too dangerous, the people here are all ghosts and elves, what should I do
"So? What did I lie to you for? What do I know as a little girl? You should let me go back."
"No, unless you help us identify the three maps, which one is the real one?" That's right, the map Miss Xiao Liu was carrying in her bosom has been forcibly handed over.
Right now, people are swordsmen, but she is just a fish.
Xiao Ting didn't know the truth, her eyes swept over other people, if she met an acquaintance at this time, it would be great.
Maybe her begging was not very pious, until she was taken to an inn by this group of people, and she didn't see a single acquaintance.
Xiao Ting sat obediently by the side, carefully comparing the three maps of unknown authenticity, really wanting to see a flower from them.
In this way, she can make some nonsense, and trick them into saving their lives first.
It's a pity that the ideal is very full, but the reality is very backbone.
The woman leaned against the window with her sword in her hand, and said coolly: "Brother, I think this girl is lying to us, she doesn't know which one is real, maybe these are all fake."
"Um."
The man replied with only one word.
"The news that we have been to the underground palace must not be leaked. I still think she should be killed."
The man was sitting at the side drinking tea. Hearing that he was holding the teacup, he tilted his head and glanced at Xiao Ting, "Yeah."
Xiao Ting listened to their conversation with her ears pricked up, and almost ran away when she heard the words.
Um, um, your sister, um.
She is a human being, and this is a living life. Just such a word "um" wants to get rid of her.
dream.
Just then, there was a knock on the door outside.
"who?"
"Guest officer, the villain is here to deliver food to you."
The man nodded, and the woman walked over.
Open the door, "We didn't order so many dishes, did you send them to the wrong place?"
Looking at the dishes on the table, the man frowned slightly.
Xiao Er smiled and said: "Guest officer, don't worry, there is nothing wrong, today our inn has been hired by someone to entertain guests here."
"Master Xie said that everyone who comes to the store will be greeted with good wine and food, all of which will be charged to his account, just for a blessing, ha ha!"
Thank you, sir
Xiao Ting's eyes rolled slightly, "Which master is so grand?"
Xiaoer nodded and bowed, and replied: "Of course it is Xie Shilang's father, thank you, Master."
The relationship and forces in this imperial city are intricate and complicated, Xiao Ting has always been as far away as possible.
So I don't know many things about many people, but this Xie Shilang, haha, is it the one she thought!
Xiao Ting was shining brightly, and obediently stepped forward and said: "Then Xie Shilang has encountered some happy event, please bring our blessings to you."
"It must be. Today is the blind date banquet held by Mr. Xie for Mr. Xie. Many famous people in the imperial city have come."
"That's great, it's really a happy event, congratulations."
"Okay, you go down first! There are so many words." The woman couldn't stand it anymore, and waved her hand.
After Xiao Er left, she stared at Xiao Ting again, "I'm almost dying, but I'm still in the mood to congratulate others."
Xiao Ting didn't look at her, she just sat down at the table, and without saying hello, she reached out and grabbed a chicken leg, and bit off half of it.
"My life is almost gone, so I have to eat enough."
Then, she rolled up her sleeves, raised her left and right hands, and stuffed everything into her mouth, regardless of meat or vegetables.
As long as it was in front of her, without exception, it entered her stomach.
It wasn't until the empty plate in front of her jingled that Xiao Ting rubbed her belly, hiccupped, and muttered, "It's delicious."
As soon as she looked up, she saw many pairs of eyes staring at her, "Huh? You don't eat, what do you see me doing?"
Everyone turned their attention to the empty plate on the table in front of her, let's eat your sister!
"Ah? I've finished eating. This Xiao Er is too stingy to send this little food over. Who will eat enough?"
After saying that, she got up and went to the window, and shouted down: "Send Jingyuesi more food."
Her yell startled many people, many heads were stretched out in the front hall to look this way, Xiao Ting was standing at the window, raised her eyebrows ostentatiously, and continued to shout: "Hurry up, hurry up."
Before she finished her sentence, a figure flashed in front of her eyes, and she was pushed away, and the window was closed.
The woman turned around and scolded coldly, "Do you want to court death so much?"
Xiao Ting immediately backed away with a whoosh, looking a little scared, "You, what are you doing, you don't eat for free, and you eat for free. Besides, I'm all for you, I, I'm full."
As she spoke, she seemed to want to prove that what she said was true, so she hiccupped again.
"younger sister."
When the man made a sound, the woman snorted coldly and let Xiao Ting go temporarily.
Not long after, more food was delivered, and this time it was still the second child who took the lead.
With a smile on his face, he waved for everyone to serve, while he looked at the pitiful Miss Xiao Liu who was nestled in a corner.
That's right, before Xiao Er came in to take a look, she deliberately messed up her hair, her eyes were innocent like a little white rabbit, she was very pitiful, and with a little grievance, she seemed to dare not speak out.
Xiao Er took everything into his eyes, and then withdrew.
In the hall, today is Master Xie's banquet, originally Xie Jingtian would not attend even if he was beaten to death.
It's a joke for no reason.
But he couldn't stand the repeated pleas of his friend Xu Wei, so he reluctantly agreed to this boring banquet in order to let his friend have an explanation from his father.
The two are sitting in the private room at the moment, and there is no woman beside them.
"Who did you hear that voice just now?"
Xu Wei heard Xie Jingtian's question, thought for a while, and said, "Could it be an acquaintance?"
He didn't hear it, after all, he was putting his mind elsewhere now.
"I feel like a person." Xie Jingtian said to himself.
Xu Wei waved his hand, "Didn't you get someone to investigate? There should be results soon."
Sure enough, not long after, there was a knock on the door.
The little girl came back with a smile and said, "Xie Shilang, I have already got the information you asked me to investigate."
"Who is it?"
"It's a woman who turns red every year. She looks so pitiful. Her skin is greasy and dirty. Everyone else is eating it. Only she hides away. She looks very afraid of those people."
"What does she look like?"
That's the point.
"Oh, she looks very handsome, and those eyes are very clear and beautiful."
Xie Jingtian stood up with a bang and was about to go out.
But was stopped by Xu Wei, "What are you going to do?"
Xie Jingtian said seriously: "It's her, it must be her, I can't hear the voice wrong just now."
"what are you saying?"
"Xiao Ting, she might have been kidnapped by those people." Xie Jingtian said very seriously, then pushed away his friend's arm and wanted to go out.
"You're crazy, what place is this, at the feet of the emperor, that's the Ninth Princess, who dared to tie her up after eating the bear's heart and leopard's guts."
"Besides, there is no news of the disappearance of the Ninth Concubine from the Ninth Prince's Mansion."
According to Xu Wei's analysis, that person must not be Xiao Ting.
If Xiao Ting knew that Xu Wei, a pig friend, was sabotaging her self-rescue plan, she might rush over and bite him to death.
Xie Jingtian heard the words and knew that this might be just an illusion. After all, Xiao Ting, as the Ninth Princess, if something really happened, there would have been news already.
"I misheard, she is indeed impossible to appear here."
