Chapter 137 Escape from Green Shadow Palace

The exit was open, and the cool evening breeze was blowing in from outside.It can be seen that it is a circular wellhead.They were standing under a dry well.

The walls of the well were polished so slippery that it was almost impossible to climb up with bare hands. Even with light skills, it was difficult to find a place to borrow strength.After all, when they came down, they went down eighteen steps.The prince smiled and said: "I'm afraid only Yan Shiyi's Yanyun Ladder can go up here."

"That's not necessarily true. We still have to see if Feng Mingze's eagle claw arrow can hit it." As he said that, King Duan took out the modified barrel-shaped sleeve arrow from his arms.He came to Ji Mansion specially to save people, so he naturally brought all the tools.King Duan quietly shook Haitang's hand to reassure her.

I saw Duan Wang jump up, and in vain he held up the slippery well wall, and swung his hand upwards. The range of the sleeve arrow was not far, but due to the inertia of his jumping and swinging his arm, Duan Wang did not fall again. Returning to the ground and hanging in the air - the eagle claw arrow opened and hooked the mouth of the well!

Duan Dynasty glanced at Haitang at the bottom of the well, grabbed the soft rope tied to the eagle's claws, and used Qinggong to rush up.As soon as he stretched out his head, he couldn't help but gasped: The tunnel actually led to the palace. This is Concubine Ji's Green Shadow Palace!
King Duan did not dare to pull out the few people in the well rashly. He covered his face and returned to Qinghe Palace after a few ups and downs.Prince Duan was dressed in night clothes, which shocked Concubine Ji. When she heard that there were three people at the bottom of the well in Concubine Ji's backyard, Concubine Ji almost lost her temper.

"Son! This is a matter of beheading. If Concubine Ji finds out, we must kill our mother and son." Concubine Ji's thoughts changed and she said decisively: "Take the clothes of the maid and the chamberlain, and you and Concubine go Say hello to Concubine Ji."

A warm current surged in Prince Duan's heart. Normally, the mother-in-law was timid and afraid of getting into trouble, but when things really happened, she was braver than anyone else. "Mother, when the time comes, just hold Concubine Ji to chat, and I will figure out the rest!" A brave mother will never raise a weak son.

King Duan changed his clothes, and Concubine Ji immediately ordered Chang Gui to burn the night clothes.The mother and son walked towards Concubine Ji's Green Shadow Palace with several chamberlains and maids.

In the Green Shadow Palace, Concubine Ji had just finished taking a milk bath. She smelled of milk and her skin was as elastic as that of a young woman in her twenties.

"Mother, half of the human milk was added to today's milk bath. My uncle said, just use it if you want. There is plenty." Yun Duo said while combing Concubine Ji's hair: "Recently, the emperor seems to come to our palace less. .”

"The emperor is busy. Didn't Chuan'er recommend two more Taoist priests to the emperor? I heard that there are incense cauldrons placed at the entrance of Wuying Hall, and there is also a dojo inside. As long as the emperor does not go to other women's palaces, let him do whatever he wants. Isn't it good for us to be idle? Just keep busy and the day will pass." Concubine Ji said casually, holding a beaded hairpin and fiddled with the beads on it with her sharp nails.

The master and servant were chatting, and word spread outside that Concubine Ji had come to pay her respects with Prince Duan.

"It's already dark, why hasn't Prince Duan left the palace at this time?" Concubine Ji threw the hairpin in her hand into the box and said, "Invite them in."

"Why is the prince still in the palace late at night? If you don't leave, the palace door will be locked." Concubine Ji smiled and looked at the mother and son who were giving her a gift, but her eyes were burning with no concealment: "Why is your son When he grows up, my son will die young!
How could Concubine Ji not understand this look?He quickly said: "Zhan'er, you go to the backyard and wait. I'll say a few words of respect to my empress before we leave."

King Duan made a promise, and indeed took Chang Gui and Xiang'er to the backyard.Concubine Ji wanted to hear what Concubine Ji had to say, but she didn't care where Prince Duan was standing.I saw Concubine Ji frowning and saying worriedly: "Your Majesty, the Queen cannot leave the palace now, so there is something I need you to take care of!" "Oh? What happened?" Concubine Ji just took a shower. Bath, I am in high spirits, just in time to listen to any gossip.

"The emperor has become more and more obsessed with Taoism in recent times. Maybe you don't know that this afternoon, the emperor asked people to place a large tripod outside Wuying Hall, saying it is for offering incense. Wuying Hall is not a Taoist temple. What do you think? What are you talking about? Concubine Ji said anxiously: "I'm afraid that tomorrow morning, some officials will come to impeach Your Majesty!Just now Zhan'er rushed into the palace to tell me about this matter. When I thought about it, the only way to solve it was to rely on the imperial concubine."

Concubine Ji smiled proudly: "Let me tell you, what a big deal it is, it's worth running to me all night, mother and son! The emperor is the emperor, and there's nothing wrong with having some hobbies. Besides, what's the use of a few officials talking about it? If you say something powerful, if you cut off one or two, no one will say anything anymore. However, it is hard for you mother and son to think of me. I will remind the emperor when I see him. You go ahead."

Concubine Ji retreated. Prince Duan, two maids and four chamberlains were already waiting at the entrance of the palace. When Concubine Ji came out, Prince Duan stepped forward and supported his mother's arm, and together they left the Green Shadow Palace.Concubine Ji asked in a low voice: "How is it?"

"Thank you, concubine, for everything was safe."

While Concubine Ji was still talking to Concubine Ji, Prince Duan arrived at the backyard, and two chamberlains followed him out.One of them glanced at the wellhead and said nervously: "Guizi, you forgot to cover the manhole today? Go quickly!"

Guizi was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. Guizi's father was the cell leader below. He used a basket to carry some food and wine down as usual today, and even asked the small kitchen to fry a plate of broad beans for his father to drink with.As a result, I forgot to put the manhole cover back on.This really helped King Duan a lot: if the manhole cover was covered, the eagle's claw arrow would not be able to hook the wellhead. It was impossible to move such a large stone without any support underneath.

It's now!Duan Wang took advantage of the fact that both of them were paying attention to the manhole cover, and directly tapped their black sweet hole twice.The two chamberlains fell down softly.Chang Gui quickly put the two of them aside, and sat beside the door of the backyard.King Duan took out a pebble and knocked three times on the edge of the well, only to hear three knocks below, and then he threw a rope into the well.

The first person to come up was Haitang, and Xiang'er quickly handed her a palace maid's coat.Then came the corvee king and the crown prince.As soon as the corvee king came out of the well, Duan Wang was stunned for a moment and almost laughed out loud.It turned out that the prince didn't know whether King Duan wanted them to pretend to be Jinwu guards or chamberlains when they went out of the palace. Anyway, the King's beard must have been too eye-catching.He grabbed the corvee king's beard and shaved him clean with three knives.

After the three people came out, Duan Wang and Chang Gui covered the well mouth, and the six people went around from the side passage to the entrance of the main courtyard.As soon as they stood still, Concubine Ji came out.Back at Qinghe Palace, Concubine Ji did not leave them alone and asked Chang Gui to send them out of the palace.

It happened that the person guarding the door today was the Yulin Guard. A guard asked a little strangely: "Huh? Why didn't I see King Duan bring people into the palace? They didn't register!"

Zhao Muzhe slapped him on the back of the head: "I caught you, didn't you? You must have slipped away! You went to the latrine and dozed off again, didn't you? Go and make up the registration, and write down the time you went to the latrine!"

The little guard dutifully went to make up the registration.
