Chapter 68 Chapter 68 Secret Passage

The Cuiying Palace without Princess Yunyang made people feel even more dead silent. Long Baiyue looked at the taciturn palace servants and thought about his own way out.Without a master, everyone in Cuiying Palace will be dismissed sooner or later, where will she be sent?The Medical Bureau seems to be a very distant existence to her, do the imperial physicians still remember her? Long Baiyue smiled wryly, and was a little unwilling to think about it, so she hurriedly recited the acupoint and meridian map silently in her heart, but luckily she still remembered them all.She should still be able to return to the medical officer's office, although she has always wondered why the queen transferred her to the Cuiying Palace. Apart from massaging the princess and the occasional minor illness of the palace servants, she basically has no ability to display her skills place.

Of course, what Long Baiyue desires most in her heart is to go out of the palace. As an ordinary court lady, according to the practice of this dynasty, she can leave the palace when she reaches the age of twenty-five.Even though it was a long, hard time.Although both the princess and Master Zixuan reminded her not to stay in Cuiying Hall for long, but with eunuchs guarding all around, where could she go?In the palace, one can only listen to "Heaven" and let it be. The palace people all gathered in the wing room of the outer hall, sitting on the bunk in unison without saying a word, as if they were waiting for something.Long Baiyue couldn't stand their dullness, so she simply went into the inner hall alone, and found a pen and paper to write a letter to Zi Mian.She bit her pen and thought: I don't know if Bao'er can successfully rescue the princess; I don't know when she will come back to help her contact Zi Mian, why not write some letters first and send them to Zi Mian when the time comes go.

She wrote eloquently, from the afternoon to the evening, when Long Baiyue was about to finish writing, she suddenly heard a scream. At first, Long Baiyue thought that she was deaf and misheard, so she quickly pressed the letter paper and did not dare to move. She listened attentively, and after another scream died out, she finally confirmed that something happened in the outer hall.The restless vigilance made Long Baiyue dare not be reckless, she tiptoed behind the curtain of the inner hall, took a peek outside, and almost fainted from fright. Kill, kill! A servant with a strange face actually led the eunuch into the Cuiying Palace, and blatantly strangled the palace people at the gate of the main hall. Long Baiyue hid behind the curtain and peeped in fear, and gradually noticed a trace of strangeness.

The massacre went extremely smoothly and cleanly.The palace people knelt in a row with expressionless faces, lowered their heads and let the eunuch hold the white silk around their necks, like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.They closed their eyes, and only let out a mournful cry when Bai Ling tightened her grip for the first time, and then the long moan was so low that the people around her shivered in fright, but they just knelt on the ground and trembled with their heads in their hands - numbness At this point, they must have been prepared for today's death, no wonder they are like walking dead on weekdays.

The grief, indignation, shouting, crying, and begging for mercy have exhausted all their vitality as early as the distribution list was announced-Cuiying Temple is not only a cold palace, but also a Shura hell that was judged early!Everyone who was assigned to this palace was enlightened, except for Long Baiyue who became a monk halfway. The palace servants fell one by one at the entrance of the main hall, and their prostrate bodies were slowly stiffened and cooled by the setting sun like blood.Long Baiyue found that the strange servant was holding a register in his hand. He was holding a writing brush, and every time he strangled a palace servant, he would tick off the register.

She choked for breath, and immediately realized that her name must also be on that roster. What Princess Yunyang said came to Long Baiyue's mind one after another - I have heard these words a lot, even if you are dumb, you still can't live... Hearing what you said, it seems that you are willing to die immediately, hey, you can also die. Well... I won't grow old, if I want to stay in this palace, I have to change my identity from time to time... You should leave here as soon as possible, otherwise... Damn it, why didn't she understand the princess' implication until now!

The poisoning of the princess was also a sudden change, otherwise the princess would tell her the truth sooner or later.Thinking of this, Long Baiyue pressed her swollen head, raised her head with burning eyes - such an orderly massacre can deter weak palace servants, but it can't restrain her, Long Baiyue! She has to save herself! The boldness and carefulness cultivated when she was with Zi Mian in the past—or call it boldness plus good luck, has fully recovered in Long Baiyue at this moment—she should not expect to be able to rely on anyone in the harem, she has to rely on herself! Long Baiyue still fumbled back to the table, shaking her hand and scratching the pen on the paper—"The eunuch is here to kill people, and I will try to escape right away, and I will leave everything to fate. Bao'er, when you see this letter, hand it over to Zi Zi." Go to sleep, it doesn't matter if I'm not here, tell him that I've always been waiting for him with peace of mind..."

The attendant in the outer hall flipped through the roster, and suddenly found that the back of the last page was slightly ink-colored. He felt that something was wrong, so he turned the page over after thinking about it: "Our family remembers that the rule in this hall is to match sixteen palace servants... ...Hey, why is there another one here?" He usually worked in the torture chamber, but he had never worked in the Cuiying Palace. At this moment, he stared suspiciously at the fresh ink stains on the paper, and asked, "Who is Long Baiyue?" No one answered him.He looked around at the few palace servants on the ground, with a worried look on his face, he tilted his head and ordered to his two eunuchs: "Maybe I really missed one, you two go down and look for it."

Long Baiyue pricked up her ears, and when she heard movement outside the hall, she quickly turned the letter paper upside down on the table, and gently pressed it down with the paperweight.She got up and looked around, except for the cushions and brocade curtains, there was no weapon that could be handy, so she picked up a bronze candlestick and quietly retreated into the curtain to hide. The outer hall is surrounded by wolves and tigers, and she must not show up. Long Baiyue glanced sideways at the complicated and beautiful inner hall—heavy curtains and twisted screens, which might help her escape.Thinking that the palace people outside the palace did not confess her, Long Baiyue couldn't help feeling sad and moved. She always thought that the princess was kind and didn't pay too much attention to them. She didn't know that there was no kind heart beating under her dull expression. ?Holding the bronze candlestick in her arms, Long Baiyue listened with bated breath to the sound of footsteps outside the hall getting closer, praying in her heart: Why do tragedies always happen around me? If I can survive safely, I must live to understand... …

Those who have inspired her before, please bless her this time too. The sound of searching around gradually approached her, the curtain in front of her was lifted with a bang, and an eunuch stared at her as expected: "Come here, there is really a..." Before she finished speaking, Long Baiyue raised the candlestick and hit him on the head.The eunuch rolled his eyes and passed out on the ground, Long Baiyue struggled and ran to the depths of the inner hall, another eunuch quickly stopped her, his left hand protected his head, and his right hand stretched out to grab her candlestick.

"I'm sorry," Long Baiyue raised the candlestick, and stabbed the acupuncture points on his arm with the bronze spikes, "Look for the acupuncture points, not only for acupuncture and massage." Attacking the acupuncture points is several times more effective than ordinary beatings. Long Baiyue picked a few more acupuncture points and pierced them, and the eunuch soon fell to the ground in pain.The servants in the outer hall heard the eunuch's screams and knew that the situation was not good, so they quickly ordered his subordinates to rush into the inner hall to arrest people. Long Baiyue understood that escaping into the inner hall was a dead end. She was thinking that she didn't see many people in the outer hall just now. Maybe she could get rid of them all under cover. As long as she bought a little time, she could escape from the Cuiying Hall go.Bypassing Princess Yunyang's gums is the deep part of the inner hall, because of Yunyang's ban, Long Baiyue never really entered, and the layout of the inner room made her feel strange. Behind the gauze curtain should be a screen for changing clothes, there seems to be another world inside, Long Baiyue ran in, thinking that God bless the tricky and eccentric princess to open the back door here. As a result, when the entrance of a secret passage really appeared in front of Long Baiyue, she was at a loss for what to do.The brass dressing room, which was as tall as a person, was ajar like a mirrored door, and the cold wind blowing from the depths of the dark passageway aroused goosebumps all over her body.She didn't know where this secret passage would lead, but compared to the killer chasing after her, this passage with an uncertain future was obviously much more intimate.Long Baiyue made up her mind and quickly got into the secret passage. The sharp-eyed eunuch who caught up saw Long Baiyue fleeing into the secret passage, and without knowing it, followed him in.The secret passage is extremely narrow, only allowing one person to pass through, Long Baiyue is running desperately in front, and the eunuch behind him can't do anything to her for a while. Stumbling and fleeing in the dark, Long Baiyue was almost caught by the eunuch several times, and her hair bun had already been grabbed, if not relying on the candlestick in her hand, she might have fallen into the clutches of the devil long ago.After running for an unknown amount of time, suddenly a light came from the end of the dark passage, Long Baiyue's mood lifted, and she couldn't help speeding up her pace. The chasing soldiers also found that the exit was not far away, fearing that Long Baiyue would escape, they chased harder and harder.Even an eunuch, his foot strength is still better than that of a weak woman, once he lifts his spirits, he can catch her in two or three strokes.Long Baiyue turned around and struggled to resist, the bronze candlestick pierced the eunuch's body, the touch of the bronze tool piercing into the soft flesh made her feel guilty, and in the dark, she couldn't see where the acupoints were, so the eunuch was afraid that he would lose it even if he ate it. She couldn't let go of the pain even if it hurt, so she struggled endlessly, but Long Baiyue retreated to the exit. She struggled desperately and didn't pay attention to her feet, she staggered and fell out of the tunnel, and fell on her back to the ground. The hand that was entangled with Long Baiyue suddenly wilted at this moment, she was still in shock, she only felt that a shadow was enveloped above her head, and when she looked closely, it turned out to be a strange middle-aged man.The man stared at Long Baiyue's face, as if he had discovered some treasure, and spoke to her with a trembling voice, his voice was unexpected and pleasant: "Yanyan..." Yanyan?What Yanyan?Long Baiyue was in a daze, and heard the eunuch who was still vicious just kneel down honestly at this moment: "The villain deserves death, alarm the Holy One - this woman is a slave of the Cuiying Palace, the villain is about to arrest her, so I just want to take her back." Earth rectifies the law." Hearing the words, Long Baiyue opened her eyes and stared at the man in front of her again - he was wearing a ochre-yellow dragon robe, he was the emperor. Isn't he the chief culprit who tormented Zimian, mutilated Yunyang, and ordered the execution of Cuiying's palace officials? But even so, she had to bow her head.Long Baiyue got up, brushed her hair and leaned down on her body, and said in a soft voice that she was familiar with in the past: "My slave, Long Baiyue, kowtow to the Holy Majesty..." Heartbroken, she just wanted to stay on the edge of the cliff—she was struggling, and she had no other bargaining chips in her hand.
