The news came from the direction of the Heavenly Prison, and everyone who heard it was horrified and their hair stood on end.
Shen Tianao was hung in the air, and the food he was given every day was barely enough to fill his stomach.
Tonight, when another torture began, his eyes flashed with light, and he secretly practiced internal energy to eliminate the power that was dissipated by drugs.
At the same time, Concubine Qi in the cold palace was not having a smooth life either.
Without the emperor's favor, she had a hard time in the palace.
When she and Ye Feng were arrested together, they were not together. Now, besides Ye Feng, she also has Shen Qingwan in her heart, which makes her heartbroken.
On a moonlit night, she, who had not eaten enough dinner, stood at the window to admire the moon. Only when she saw the silvery-white jade plate hanging high in the sky did Concubine Qi feel a little relieved.
"Moon Goddess, please bless Afeng and Qingwan to return safely. Even if they are alive and well, it is better than dying in the wilderness, in an unknown wasteland, with no one to take care of them."
Thinking of this, her tears couldn't stop flowing.
She vented out all the bullying she had received in the cold palace for many days through her tears.
Just at this moment, someone came in from outside the door. Concubine Qi looked up nervously, but was stunned.
"Why are you here?"
The visitor was wearing a pink palace dress and her hair was neatly combed, showing that she was living a good life.
"Ruotong, I'm here to save you, don't be sad."
Concubine Shu sent her most trusted palace maid away to guard the door, and started talking to Concubine Qi.
"Qi Fei, now only the emperor can come back to have a chance to turn things around. Please be patient for now. I will find a chance to rescue Ye Feng and ask him to go to the military camp a dozen miles outside the city to inquire about the situation. Then you will know the result."
Hope was rekindled in Concubine Qi's heart.
"Sister, if this works, Ruotong will never forget your kindness."
Concubine Shu helped her up from the ground, without any intention of taking credit in her eyes.
"We are all women trapped in this deep palace. Apart from being filled with sorrow, we only have a little affection and conscience left. You and I met because of Qingwan. I know that you have a kind nature. Even if it costs me my life, I will not let the queen touch you at all."
Although Concubine Qi was grateful, there was still one thing she didn't know the outcome of.
"Sister, after such a long time, why didn't the Queen cause you any trouble?"
Shufei's smile was mostly bitter.
"I have never had any conflicts with her. Fortunately, when the emperor was alive, he did not often come to my palace, so I was able to save my life."
Concubine Qi thought for a moment, then said with a hardened heart, "Sister, you don't have to save me. The Queen sees me as a thorn in her side and wants to get rid of me as soon as possible. Send someone to rescue Ye Feng. He knows martial arts and may be able to find the whereabouts of the Emperor."
Concubine Shu looked at her in surprise, but did not move, waiting for her to continue.
"Sister, do you really believe that the emperor has passed away? Ruotong doesn't believe it. A man with such a plan and strategy would not give up the last hope of survival even in a desperate situation. If you give Qingwan's help, I don't believe he is no longer in this world."
Concubine Shu was thoughtful for a long time before she took Concubine Qi's hand and nodded, saying, "Sister is right. I am narrow-minded. I will go back and contact my brother. He and Brother Shen both have military power. If Sister Qingwan is fine, uniting their forces will be the best way for the emperor to fight back."
Only then did Ruotong nod and agree.
Ye Feng has been worried about Li Ruotong's safety since he was locked up in this remote little room. He couldn't even use his internal energy and lightness skills. If he hadn't been alert and found the power-dispersing medicine in the food, he wouldn't even have the strength to stand up at this moment.
"This damned queen is so vicious. She wants to trap him to death in this narrow room to vent her anger."
As Ye Feng thought about this, some of his strength returned to him, so he meditated and practiced martial arts in secret until a palace servant came in to bring him food.
"Sir, it's time to eat, you can go."
Ye Feng, who was lying on the ground, didn't even raise his eyelids. He was stunned for a moment when he heard the unfamiliar voice of the palace maid. Then, a still warm note was stuffed into his palm.
"Tonight at midnight, we will meet at the peach forest. See you there."
When I touched it again, I felt something cold and hard that almost cut my hand.
"key!"
Ye Feng was overjoyed, he took it up and quickly put it in his arms, then he stood up and saw a red bottle, which seemed to contain pills. He opened the lid without thinking and started eating, no matter who wanted to see him, this kindness could not be wasted.
This is his only chance to escape and save Ruotong.
At night, Ye Feng waited until everyone was asleep, then quietly stretched out his arm from the door and used the key to open the lock on the dilapidated door.
I don’t know where this corner is, but there are such dilapidated and old facilities.
With a single finger, he knocked out the palace maid guarding the gate, then used his lightness skills to fly towards the agreed woods.
When I got there, I saw a woman in a pink dress standing in the moonlight, standing out particularly.
"You're here?"
The man gently opened his lips, and a pleasant voice slowly flowed out.
She turned around, and Ye Feng was startled: "Shufei? Why are you here?"
Concubine Shu smiled sadly, handed him the money and sword, and said, "The palace is extremely dangerous now, and only you can save us from the dire situation. Ruotong is trapped in the cold palace and cannot turn over. I am alone and weak and cannot compete with the queen. I only hope that after you leave the palace, you can help me to explore the situation in the military camp and see if there is any news about Qingwan."
Ye Feng then understood Concubine Shu's good intentions. He put down his bag, clasped his fists, smiled, and turned to leave.
They galloped along the way at lightning speed and the horses were almost exhausted.
Coincidentally, when he arrived at the military camp, Qingwan was about to leave and meet Fu Yuheng in the ruined temple. On the night before departure, a soldier suddenly came to report.
"General, there is a man who claims to be Ye Feng who wants to see you. He said he came for Miss Qingwan. What do you think?"
Without waiting for Brother Shen to speak, Shen Qingwan ran towards the gate.
The moment I saw Ye Feng, the heart that had been weighing on my chest finally settled down in my stomach.
"Ye Feng!"
She greeted him with tears in her eyes. Thinking of the dramatic changes in the palace and her friends who didn't know what their situation was, her heart was filled with worry.
Without waiting for her to come closer, Ye Feng knelt on one knee and greeted her first: "Your Majesty is well, I am relieved."
There was a tremor in her voice. Qingwan was still alive, which meant that the emperor...
Ye Feng's heart was beating fast.
Qing Wan quickly helped him up and said, "Let's talk inside."
There are too many people here and it's not a good place to talk.
Ye Feng also knew that he had lost his composure, and quickly followed Qing Wan into the room.
