Chapter 371 Escape

She ignored him, only quickly combed her hair and tidied up her messy clothes, then took off the token from his waist, and hurriedly escaped from Cuiyun Palace.

In the entire Cuiyun Palace, there was no one else except Zhu Sheng, and no matter how loud his voice was, no one could hear him.

When Xia Yuanqiu left Cuiyun Palace, she met many guards on the way, she showed Zhu Sheng's badge, and since then she has been able to pass without hindrance.

It would be the best opportunity to leave the palace at this moment, but she ran in the opposite direction and ran towards the Yizheng Hall.

Zhu Sheng put the emperor under house arrest, and those who knew the location of the house arrest must be Zhu Sheng's confidantes, and Zhu Sheng's confidantes must be in charge of government affairs for Zhu Sheng in the Palace of Political Affairs.

Sure enough, as soon as she stepped into the Yizheng Hall, a figure stepped out from the darkness and appeared under the lights.

"Miss Zhuo Er, what are you doing here if you don't accompany His Highness?"

This is a middle-aged man in his early forties, with short eyebrows and mouse eyes, and a small goatee on his chin, with a sinister vibe.

People often say that looks come from the heart, and the gloomy look on this face can prove the darkness in the person's heart. Sure enough, those who work with Zhu Sheng are not good people.

"My lord has granted me permission to come and see the emperor." She raised the token in her hand.

The middle-aged man looked suspicious, glanced at the token in Xia Yuanqiu's hand, and said coldly: "My lord asked you to see the emperor, what are you doing in the Palace of Political Affairs?"

"My lord said, I can only meet the emperor if I look for you." She had to take a gamble, she had no other chance.

The middle-aged man stared at Xia Yuanqiu in front of him, and said word by word: "Is this really what the prince said?"

Xia Yuanqiu raised his eyebrows, and said coldly, "What? Are you going to confront Zhu Sheng with me?"

He is a counselor, although he is highly used by King Liang, he knows the difference between a minister and a wife, and he is the most beloved person of King Liang.

He hurriedly laughed along with him: "Second Miss Zhuo is serious, that's not what a villain means!"

Xia Yuanqiu snorted coldly: "That's not what it means, what does that mean?"

Seeing the anger on Xia Yuanqiu's face, he laughed twice and said: "Second Miss Zhuo, please come with the villain, and the villain will take the second miss to see the emperor."

Xia Yuanqiu took a deep breath, tried his best to maintain a calm expression on his face, and said softly, "Lead the way ahead."

The middle-aged man brought Xia Yuanqiu into the back hall of the Yizheng Hall. There was a study in the back hall, and four guards with swords stood outside the study, guarding the door of the study.

Why would a study be guarded by guards? There must be something in this study.

Sure enough, the middle-aged man directly led her into the study room. Looking at the study room, the entire wall was covered with books. Apart from the book collection, there was nothing else, not even a desk.

The middle-aged man did not avoid Xia Yuanqiu, and walked directly to a book shelf, stretched out his hand and moved the book shelf, and after hearing a few clicks, the bookshelf that was standing still opened from both sides, revealing a delicately carved The middle-aged man pushed open the carved door, and made a gesture of invitation to Xia Yuanqiu: "Second Miss, please!"

Things went so smoothly, it made her feel suspicious. She suspected that this guy deliberately led her in, in order to temporarily trap her in her footsteps.

But the matter has come to this point, she has no way to retreat, she has no strength to restrain Zhu Sheng, it is a trick for the moment, if she wants to restrain others, especially martial arts fighters, it is not easy. , Maybe the emperor is really imprisoned, even if he falls into the prison net again, at least the life and death of the emperor can be determined.

Thinking of this, she stepped into the carved door without hesitation. As she expected, as soon as she entered, the carved door slammed shut, and she had no way out.
