With a sound of "click", the lock was pried open, Wei Jiao walked to the prison door, and looked at Gu Jin who was dressed as a guard in disbelief.

"Daughter-in-law... daughter-in-law?"

"It's me." Gu Jin looked at the broken skin on Wei Jiao's face, and touched Wei Jiao's face with distress, "Been beaten?"

Wei Jiao had tears in her eyes, her voice trembling, "It hurts."

Gu Jin pushed open the cell door, walked into the cell, hugged Wei Jiao, and sighed, "I finally found you."

Wei Jiao hugged Gu Jin and frowned, "How did you know I'm in the East Palace?"

Gu Jin ignored Wei Jiao's question, took out a guard uniform and handed it to Wei Jiao, motioned him to change it, looked at the entrance of the dark prison, and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Chunyu found out that mother is in the East Palace, so he sent someone to rescue her." , I... I followed, I didn't expect to see you being locked up in a dark prison."

Wei Jiao quickly put on his clothes, looked at Gu Jin, and sighed, "That means you ran out secretly?"

Gu Jin silently ignored Wei Jiao's words, looked at Wei Jiao who was already dressed, ran outside, dragged the unconscious guard into the cell and locked him, and pulled Wei Jiao out, "The prince was summoned by the emperor, he is not in the East Palace, We can go first."

Wei Jiao looked at Gu Jin who was sneaking towards the main hall, and suddenly laughed.Pulling Gu Jin back, Wei Jiao sighed, "You're going in the wrong direction, this way."

Gu Jin: "...Oh."

Wei Jiao took Gu Jin's hand and turned around in the courtyard. Suddenly he felt that Gu Jin might have lost his way on the way to find his mother. Haven't figured out the roadmap yet?

But... Wei Jiao pinches Gu Jin's hand and slowly smiles, maybe this is their fate?

As the sky gradually darkened, the palace maids lit up palace lanterns, Wei Jiao pulled Gu Jin away from the patrolling guards, looked at the pink-clothed palace maids coming and going, frowned, the dungeon would change every hour, one by one If he hasn't left the Eastern Palace within a few hours, it will be difficult to get out when someone finds out that he has run away.

The two frowned, looked at each other, and walked straight to the corridor after the inspecting guards left.Wei Jiao lowered her head properly, her hair was half loose, most of her face was buried in the shadows, and she followed Gu Jin and walked forward.

The promenade has three turns, one side is a water pavilion, and the other side is a courtyard separated by a covered bridge, in which green bamboos and rocks are placed.Gong'e carried the octagonal palace lanterns, came one by one, and hung up the lights.

Gu Jin missed them head-on, the scent of powder and fat on the woman's body rose faintly to the tip of her nose, Wei Jiao frowned uncomfortably.As soon as he turned around, he was about to walk through the corridor, but he heard a woman's shy call from behind, "Brother in front, can you do me a favor?"

Looking at the guards who were about to turn around, Wei Jiao and Gu Jin pretended not to hear and walked forward quickly.

After a few steps, when he was about to cross the corridor, a guard shouted from behind, "You two, where are you going?"

Wei Jiao frowned, it's too bad!

------------

Wen Yiru covered her lips and coughed violently. The maid on the side immediately gave Wen Yiru a sigh of relief and handed her a teacup.Wen Yiru raised his hand to catch Fang and took a sip, and saw a cloud of bright red in the cup slowly blooming.

Calmly closing the teacup, Wen Yiru swallowed the blood that surged in his throat, handed the teacup to the maid, and signaled the maid to step back, and she wanted to rest.

After being rescued by Duan Xu for a month, the other party said it was for her health and she needed to cultivate, but in fact she was placed under house arrest.Duan Xu would visit her from time to time, and every time he came, he would ask Gu Jin how he was.

Wen Yiru never thought that the prince would have such affection for his son.During the years when Gu Jin was an official in the court, the Gu family wanted to take her back to the house, but Wen Yiru refused.At that time, Duan Xu often went out to see her in casual clothes, but his relationship with Gu Jin was only friends, but he did not expect that Duan Xu's feelings for his son were so suppressed.

Only, now there is no restraint.

Wen Yiru lowered her eyes, she doesn't care whether her son likes a man or a woman, but...it has to be what he likes, mutual consent.Duan Xu used her as bait, it was a bit despicable.

But... my body can't last long.Wen Yiru coughed lightly, with a calm expression, raised his hand to wipe away the blood from his lips, and then lay down wearily.

The window on one side creaked and was blown open by the wind. The maid stepped forward to close the window, but suddenly there was no sound.

Wen Yiru frowned, stood up slowly, and frowned, he saw the window was wide open, one person was holding the knocked-out maid and put it in the corner, and another person was crawling towards the window.Seeing her get up, she quickly stretched out her hand and made a shush gesture.

The other maid fell into a drowsy sleep, and was pressed into a sleeping hole by someone who came, and completely passed out.

"Ma'am, my son asked us to take you away. Mr. Gu is already in Biezhuang." Wen Yiru watched the masked guard in front of him take out Gu Jin's letter, took it with his hand, read it carefully, and closed the letter, Wen Yiru Nodding, "There are many guards in the East Palace, I'm afraid it's not easy to go out."

"Ma'am, don't worry." Chun Yuke rolled over from the window, holding a black cloak in his hand, "The prince is not here, and the defense of the East Palace is not so tight, so it's fine to go out."

Wen Yiru raised her head and looked at Chunyuke who was wearing night clothes. She was stunned for a moment, then she looked back and nodded lightly, "Mr. Trouble."

Chunyuke pursed her lips, and handed over the cloak, Wen Yiru reached out to take it, and put it on silently.Looking down, she saw a pair of white hands stretched out in front of her, "Ma'am, let's go."

Wen Yiru looked at Chunyuke's palm, it was fair, slender, with a callus on the index finger, a literati's hand.With downcast eyes, Wen Yiru covered her hands.

Chunyuke had calculated everything, but she never thought that she would be disturbed by two little bastards.Looking at Wei Jiao and Gu Jin who were stopped by the guards, Chun Yuke stretched out her hand to hold Wen Yiru down, and gave a hidden guard a look, the other party nodded knowingly, jumped forward a few times, and went to a pavilion.

Gu Jin turned around calmly, looked at the guards coming towards them, and said in a deep voice, "I was called to do a favor just now, I was afraid to change guards later, so I was rushing over there."

The guard glanced at Gu Jin, but didn't say anything, waved them away, Wei Jiao still bowed his head, trying not to show his face.Unexpectedly, after walking only a few steps, he was stopped by the guard again, "The prince ordered to go to the dark prison to change shifts every hour. It's close to here, you go to the dark prison first to have a look."

Gu Jin: "...this..."

The guard waved his hand, "Don't be a mother-in-law, hurry up!" Looking up at the two of them, the guard raised his eyebrows, "Why? Don't you want to?"

Gu Jin quickly waved her hand, "No, no." Pulling Wei Jiao, she walked back and passed the guard.Gong'e hung up the lamp, the light was dim, and her sight became clear all of a sudden, just as Wei Jiao passed in front of the other party.

"Wait." The guard frowned, and instantly clasped the long knife around his waist with his fingers, "Why do you look so familiar?"

The guard raised his hand towards Wei Jiao's face, trying to straighten Wei Jiao's messy hair.Gu Jin squeezed Wei Jiao's hand fiercely, and quietly clasped the long sword at his waist.If it is discovered, it is only two corridors and a courtyard away from the entrance of the East Palace. If it is killed, it may be possible to escape.

Wei Jiao looked at the guard's approaching hands, and out of the corner of his eye, he began to count the people around him, and at the same time deduced the escape route after he made a move.

"Water-"

The servant's panicked voice sounded, and the guard suddenly withdrew his hand. Looking at the burning palace of the prince, his face changed drastically, "Quick! Follow me to put out the fire!"

Wei Jiao took Gu Jin's hand, ran a few steps with the crowd symbolically, and took advantage of the panic to grab Gu Jin and hide in a corner.

"Someone help us." Wei Jiao looked at Duan Xu's burning palace, and there was a faint cry of catching an assassin, Wei Jiao frowned, "But Chun Yuke is here?"

"Stinky boy, what are you mumbling about, why don't you go!" Chun Yuke raised his hand and threw a stone, which hit Wei Jiao. Wei Jiao turned his head and saw Chun Yuke waving his hand to signal them to go out.

Wen Yiru lifted the cloak slightly to reveal her face, and nodded at them.Wei Jiao squeezed Gu Jin's hand, and the two looked at each other, seeing surprise in each other's eyes.Because with Wen Yiru, Chunyuke and the others had to avoid the crowd, Wei Jiao and the others were different.

Nodding at Chunyuke, Wei Jiao and Gu Jin pretended to be in a hurry and quickly ran towards the gate of the East Palace, intending to escape while there was chaos.

Gu Jin held hands with Wei Jiao, looking at the door getting closer and closer, never felt so relaxed.Then, Wei Jiao looked at Duan Xu who was rushing to the East Palace, and suddenly cried to the point that he might be about to turn from extreme joy to sorrow.

On one side is the pool, and on the other side is Duan Xu who is rushing to dare, Wei Jiao grabs Gu Jin and jumps into the pool without saying a word, and swims out of the East Palace along the flow of the pool.

Chunyuke led Wen Yiru to sneak in the dark, Wen Yiru held Chunyuke's hand, looking at Chunyuke's thin back, tears gradually leaked from his eyes.

"Sir, how have you been all these years?"

Chunyuke paused when she heard the words, and then squeezed Wen Yiru's hand even tighter, "Very good... when will I treat myself badly?"

There is a secret passage in the East Palace, Chun Yuke pushed Wen Yiru into a dark wall, and then he also sneaked in, "Duan Xu is back, he will definitely find that you and Wei Jiao have been rescued, we must hurry out of the palace."

Wen Yiru nodded, silently swallowed the fishy smell rising in her throat, followed Chunyuke through the secret passage, and ran towards the imperial garden.

"Gu Jin and the others..."

"Don't worry, Wei Jiao is very familiar with the imperial palace, they will definitely be able to sneak out." Chunyuke pulled Wen Yiru to a sudden stop, looked at the bright torches in front of him, frowned, "It seems that we won't be able to get out so easily this time. "

Duan Xu stood where he was, the guard's long knife was out of its sheath behind him, the blade was cold, "Mr. Chunyu?" Duan Xu raised his eyebrows, then slowly lowered his eyebrows, his eyes were indifferent, "Since you are here, why don't you stay and join us?" Students have a cup of tea?"

Chunyuke blocked Wen Yiru behind her, looked at the palace not far away, raised her eyebrows, "I'm afraid I won't be so lucky."
