Chapter 243
"Your Majesty, will the emperor blame you for this?" Rouge trotted quickly to keep up with Jian Xi's pace, and at the same time couldn't help Brick went to look at the person who was pressed away by the hidden guards.

Although her family has always been arrogant, but to scratch the emperor's most beloved concubine and send them to the Qianqing Palace with the hidden guards sent by the emperor, isn't this a bit too arrogant?

Jian Xi shaved her nails, and clicked her tongue lightly, feeling a little pity.

Zheng Xuan'er still has her demon pill in her body, no matter how badly she shaved her face, it will slowly recover without leaving a trace.

Sure enough, she should have dug up the demon pill just now, wouldn't it be better?

"Where is the place where those children are detained?" Jian Xi covered her lips and yawned. Although it was cold winter, the sun was particularly dazzling today, not only did it not give warmth to people, but they also felt a little chilly.

"In the Zhaixing Tower."

Picking up stars?
Jian Xi lowered her eyes and scratched the back of Huohuo's neck.

Isn't this the palace that the Dog Emperor specially built for Rong Qing?

"I heard that Master Guoshi was also imprisoned there." Rouge sighed, the emperor is so confused, people like Master Guoshi who are as bright as the moon don't believe it, but want to trust that stinky Taoist priest with evil eyebrows and mouse eyes, He also locked up the master of the country.

"Master National Teacher has been imprisoned for five days."

Jian Xi paused, raised her head to look at the sun in full bloom, and pursed her lips slightly: "Let's go."

"Your Majesty, wait for this servant! Where are we going!"

Picking the Star Building.

Rong Qing was sitting in the pavilion, flipping through the books in his hands, the palace servants who came to deliver the food unconsciously slowed down, for fear that their actions would hit me too much and disturb him.

He was dressed in white, spotless, with an indifferent expression, neither sad nor happy, and his demeanor made people feel fearful.

"My lord, please have something to eat." The eunuch sighed, watching the untouched food delivered at noon, and persuaded in a low voice.

Rong Qing didn't say anything, and turned the book over.

The eunuch shook his head, put the cold food into the lunch box, and walked out as lightly as possible.

"Give these to those kids."

When the cold voice came, the eunuch was taken aback for a moment, then lowered his head, and answered: "Yes."

The emperor is really confused.

"Your Majesty, you can't go in! The emperor has ordered that no one can enter the Star Picking Tower! Slaves like you will be beheaded!"

"Niangniang! Niangniang!"

The noisy sound outside the palace entered the attic, Rong Qing frowned slightly, put down the book and looked up from the window.

Seeing Jian Xi standing under the palace pavilion in a red dress, she impatiently pushed away the palace servants who were blocking her and walked in.

The guards stationed in the palace hurried over and stood in front of the palace: "Your imperial concubine! This is an important part of the palace, and concubines in the harem are not allowed to enter!"

Jian Xi became impatient, raised her chin, Rouge understood, walked forward with the token bestowed by the emperor, and showed it in front of the guards: "Bold! My mother has the token bestowed by the emperor. There is no place you can't go! What? Are you trying to resist the decree?"

Seeing the token as if seeing the emperor, the guards glanced at each other, quickly put down the weapons in their hands and knelt on the ground, with respectful expressions: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Jian Xi glanced at the guard kneeling on the ground, raised her head as if feeling something, and just happened to meet Shang Rongqing's gaze, she raised her eyebrows, compared her mouth to him, and smiled flamboyantly: "Long time no see, Master."

Seeing her bright smile, Rong Qing's heartbeat beat uncontrollably. He squeezed the space between his brows, clenched the book in his hand, and watched the red figure striding into the palace, disappearing behind him. In the field of vision, lowered his eyes, his expression was dim and unclear.

Jian Xi looked at Chen Shi in the Zhaixing Building, curled her lips, that dog emperor actually locked her Master Guoshi in such a place, he really didn't know what to do.

"Where are those children?" Yan Zhi asked the chief guard who was following her, frowning.

Apart from the majestic appearance of the Zhaixing Building, the inside is extremely simple, and it doesn't match the rumors at all.

It doesn't match up with this resplendent imperial palace at all.

"In the cellar." The chief guard was silent for a moment, then replied in a low voice.

"What?!" Rouge raised her voice in disbelief, cellar?

To lock those captured children in the cellar?
The interiors of the Star Picking Building are still like this, not to mention how crude the dark cellar will be.

"This is the order of the Taoist, and there is nothing we can do about it." The chief guard nodded helplessly. He was already within his ability and tried his best to make the life of those children better.

But he is just a small head of guards, he has no rights, and he has more than enough energy to do what he wants to do.

Jian Xi stood still in front of a mahogany round table, stroked the round table with her fingers, and wiped off a thick layer of ash. She looked up at the hollow pavilion and the solid wooden stairs, and said in a cold voice, "Where is the national teacher?"

This dog emperor is really damned.

"Go back to your mother, it's on the third floor of the palace." The chief guard was taken aback for a moment, unexpectedly Jian Xi would suddenly ask where the national teacher was.

Jian Xi nodded, took the handkerchief from Yan Zhi, wiped her hands, raised her chin: "Lead the way."

Because the cellar is opaque all the year round, there is a gloomy and cold dampness. Now it is cold winter, and the cellar is filled with a chilly air, which makes people shiver, with a musty smell and countless wind dust. .

The head guard waved his hand lightly, held up a small lamp, and took the lead to walk in front, leading the two of them forward step by step.

Rouge walked behind Jian Xi, watching her carefully, for fear that she would fall.

The cellar is very damp, and water is constantly dripping from the top. The space here is not large, and it is so dull that people can't breathe.

Go down the stairs, there are two small cells below.

The head guard walked to Langfang and held up the lamp. There were more than a dozen children who were dependent on each other in the cell. They were crowded in the narrow cell, wearing thin clothes, hugging each other for warmth.

When they saw someone coming, they didn't make a fuss, but shrank slightly, hugged each other even tighter, lowered their heads, and didn't dare to look at them.

Rouge's sharp eyes found that the outermost little boy was covered with mottled scars and bruises all over his body.

It was clearly winter now, but their clothes were so torn that it was difficult to cover their bodies, and they were shivering in this cold cellar.

She covered her mouth, her eyes were red, and she looked at these tortured children with distress.

The chief guard sighed and hung the lamp on the iron railing. The gorgeous lamp was incompatible with this dilapidated environment.

"I'm in charge of the three hours in the afternoon, and other guards are responsible for the rest of the time."

"What they did to these kids..."

The chief guard didn't say any more, his expression was gloomy and depressed, annoyed that he couldn't help these children.

"Those beasts." Rouge gritted her teeth, these are living beings!Just because of the emperor's own selfish desires, he was taken into the palace, separated from his family, and tortured in this small cellar.
