The jailer had previously dismissed the other guards. After getting the jailer drunk, Eunuch Liu took the opportunity to carry the He sisters out, creating the illusion that they had escaped from prison.

When the jailer sobered up and realized the girls were gone, he was so frightened his legs went weak.

Just as he was about to report this to the Empress Dowager, he noticed three characters carved on the table: "Don't make a sound."

Upon recalling the whole incident, the jailer instantly understood, then acted as if nothing had happened.

Eunuch Liu carried the He sisters to the garden of the Cold Palace, and he was already panting heavily. The Empress Dowager had instructed that as few people as possible should know about this, so he did it himself.

After throwing the first two corpses into the dry well, just as he was about to throw in the third, Eunuch Liu suddenly felt a sharp pain in his stomach, as if he was about to have diarrhea, and he couldn't wait even a second longer.

I originally intended to resolve the matter on the spot, but seeing the corpse nearby made me feel uneasy.

Seeing that the outhouse wasn't far away, Eunuch Liu quickly ran there. He took a big dump and felt much better.

When he returned, he found the body was gone, which led to the scene at the beginning.

Liu Gonggong looked around but couldn't find the corpse. Suddenly, a chill ran up from the soles of his feet.

One of the three corpses is missing. Could it be that the woman pretended to be dead and escaped while she had diarrhea?

Liu Gonggong was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and dared not linger there. He quickly left as if his pants were on fire.

Liu Gonggong thought to himself that if there were other people here, since they were able to move the body away silently without being discovered, they must not be ordinary people.

Moreover, the other party definitely knows kung fu; taking my life would be an easy task. I'd better slip away as fast as I can.

Before he left, he had already made up his mind that when he returned to report to the Empress Dowager, he would say that everything had been taken care of.

Anyway, only he knows about this. If he doesn't tell anyone, only heaven and earth know. As for whether anyone else knows, he doesn't even dare to think about it.

Since things have come to this point, this is the only way. Let's get through this hurdle first.

After watching Eunuch Liu walk away, Song Wenjie and the Third Prince climbed down from the tree.

"Your Highness, this girl is still breathing!"

While they were in the tree, Song Wenjie vaguely sensed that the woman he was carrying on his shoulder still seemed to be breathing.

Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed upon hearing this, his usually stern face breaking into a smile: "Excellent! This is a wonderful surprise! This girl definitely knows some secrets; we must find a way to get her out of the palace!"

"Hmm~" Song Wenjie simply hummed in response.

The palace is heavily guarded. It would be fine for him to go out on his own, but it's broad daylight now, and he's carrying a woman. It would be difficult to avoid being discovered.

If it were nighttime, things would be much easier, but this girl is barely clinging to life, and we can't delay any longer.

Seeing that the girl's face was turning purple, if this dragged on any longer, even a god couldn't save her.

"Follow me!" Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a moment and immediately thought of a place.

He accidentally wandered into this place when he was a child. He learned that there was a dog hole not far from here that led directly outside, and he even crawled through it when he was little!

However, the dog hole wasn't big enough for him and Song Wenjie to squeeze through without knowing how to shrink their bones.

But if the two of them can't get through it, this girl in front of us has a small frame, so we might give it a try.

They were exceptionally lucky today. Along the way, they managed to avoid the guards, and relying on his memory, the Third Prince found the location of the dog hole.

A wooden board was covering the dog hole. The Third Prince removed the wooden board, and a square dog hole was revealed.

Unexpectedly, after so many years, the dog hole was still there. Song Wenjie quickly put the girl off his shoulder and tried it out.

The shoulder area was a bit wide, and it got stuck there, so the person had to be pushed out.

Song Wenjie examined the dog hole and found that the edges were damaged. He immediately used his internal strength to crush the stones at the edges into powder.

The stones of this palace wall are exceptionally hard, and it took a tremendous amount of effort to finally expand it a bit.

Song Wenjie pushed the girl out little by little, and after several attempts, he finally managed to push her out. By then, he was covered in sweat.

After getting the girl out, the two men straightened their clothes and then swaggered out, with the Third Prince in front and Song Wenjie following behind.

Although the Third Prince rarely entered the palace, some guards still recognized him, and he also carried a token.

Seeing the guards, the Third Prince acted as a cover, drawing their attention away, and Song Wenjie quickly made his escape.

The journey was fraught with danger but ultimately safe. Only after leaving the palace did the two breathe a sigh of relief.

After leaving the palace, relying on his memory, the Third Prince led Song Wenjie to the dog hole on the outer wall. Outside the dog hole was wilderness, and the entrance was overgrown with weeds. Fortunately, the girl was still there, and there were no other animals beside her.

Song Wenjie carried the girl back to the Prince's mansion. Granny Su used acupuncture and induced vomiting to pull the girl back from the brink of death.

However, it's still uncertain whether she'll survive. Granny Su said that if the girl wakes up, everything will be fine. Right now, all we can do is wait.

Suddenly, Song Wenjie remembered something and stood up hurriedly: "Your Highness, I almost forgot something. I have to go back to see someone."

Seeing Song Wenjie's anxious expression, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately teased, "Wenjie, look how anxious you are. You must be meeting a young lady, right?"

Song Wenjie raised an eyebrow, looking mysterious: "Your Highness, to be honest, it is indeed a young lady. I have to go now, she must be getting impatient."

After saying that, Song Wenjie walked out without looking back.

Hey!

Seeing Song Wenjie, usually so composed, unusually anxious, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled. This guy always leaves things unsaid, acting all mysterious.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but become curious about what kind of girl she was.

As far as he knew, Song Wenjie did not have a sweetheart yet, nor had he heard of him liking any girl.

I'd heard before that a junior female student had chased him all the way to the military camp, following him around all day, but apparently he sent her back later.

cough cough cough ~

Suddenly, the girl on the bed coughed a few times, instantly pulling him back to reality.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked up and saw that the girl had woken up at some point, was hunched over, and looked to be in pain.

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately stood up anxiously, strode to the door and called out, "Granny Su! Granny Su! Come quickly, the girl is awake!"

"Hey~ Here it comes!"

Granny Su walked over quickly, carrying a bowl of medicine in her hand.

The girl's face turned purple from holding her breath, and she opened her mouth wide, pointing her finger at her throat.

After examining the girl, Granny Su found that she was fine, except that she had phlegm stuck in her throat, which she could neither cough up nor swallow.

He immediately clenched his fist, patted her back, and finally spat out the phlegm.

After a short while, the girl's complexion finally returned to a rosy hue.
