The rebirth of the poisonous girl is back

Chapter 186 Nine Palaces Maze (Part [-])
She left Yin Xiangsi to eat at the house, and when she parted, Jing Se suddenly couldn't bear her to leave, and said softly, "Xiao Qi, don't leave tonight, stay with me, okay?"

Yin Xiangsi had already stood up, but unexpectedly, Jing Se suddenly said this sentence to persuade her to stay. She was stunned, and said with a smile: "No problem, I will send someone to the princess mansion to inform me later."

Jing se glanced at her gratefully.

It is said that mothers tend to be sentimental, and Jing Se thinks this is true.

When she was not pregnant, she could still do other things to pass the time every day, but when she suddenly found out that she was pregnant, and thought that Fan Chen could not be by her side, she felt unspeakably uncomfortable, and always felt that she was alone at night Sleeping, no matter what, the bed can't be warmed up, it's icy cold until midnight, even if she wakes up from a dream, no one can stretch out a warm arm to warm her lower abdomen.

This kind of loneliness, no one can understand.

Yin Xiangsi looked at Jing Se, although she never shed a single tear, but her haggard eyebrows and eyes could not deceive anyone, just hearing that she kept her, Yin Xiangsi knew that she was very lonely in her heart, especially when she knew she was pregnant At this moment, she needs someone to accompany her the most, but the person who should be by her side the most is not there, and she doesn't know when she will come back.

With a sore nose, Yin Xiangsi took Jing Se's somewhat cold hands and put them on her own, choked up and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will always be with you and protect you until the baby is born safely."

Jing Se nodded, bit her lower lip and said nothing.

At night, Yin Xiangsi and Jing Se shared the same bed. Before going to bed, the two talked for a long time. When Yin Xiangsi asked Jing Se if she wanted Fan Chen, Jing Se fell silent. After the silence, she fell asleep. The sound of even breathing came.

Yin Xiangsi didn't feel sleepy at all, she sat up and saw Jing Se lying on her side, her petite body curled up into a ball, her hands hugging her shoulders, even when she fell asleep, her brows were wrinkled uneasily, as if she was terrified in her sleep.

Yin Xiangsi, who never shed tears easily, saw this scene, and immediately burst into tears. While wiping away her tears, she carefully pulled the brocade mattress to cover Jingse's shoulders, her throat was so sore that her voice became hoarse, "Sister-in-law, wait for brother-in-law to come back, You must not forgive him easily. That bastard made you suffer so much. Even an outsider like me wanted to cry. When he comes back, ignore him. I will clean him up for you and make him suffer too. !"

Jing Se was already sound asleep, and she couldn't hear Yin Xiangsi's words at all. She just felt cold all over, and her thin body shrank back into the brocade mattress unconsciously.

Yin Xiangsi just sat like this, sleepless all night, tucked Jing Se's quilt countless times, and shed silent tears countless times.

At dawn the next day, Jing Se opened her eyes, and saw that Yin Xiangsi had already got up, washed and dressed, and was sitting at the table.

Seeing her eyes open, Yin Xiangsi was overjoyed, "Sister-in-law, you finally woke up, are you hungry? I'll send someone to bring breakfast in right away."

Jing Se propped herself up and sat up, and glanced at her, "Your eyes are so swollen, have you ever cried?"

"Is there?" Yin Xiangsi reached out to touch her eyes, and smiled coyly, "Probably because I didn't sleep well last night."

Hearing what she said, Jing Se didn't expose it, and said quietly: "Are you denying the bed? If so, then you don't have to stay tonight, you should go back to the princess mansion to sleep. I was just in a bad mood last night. In the future, I will One person can do it."

"No, no, no." Yin Xiangsi quickly shook his head, "That's not what I meant."

As soon as she saw Jing Se, Yin Xiangsi couldn't help thinking of her weak and pitiful appearance when she fell asleep last night, her eyes became hot, and she said: "I just think of that big bastard Yixiong leaving you alone like this, and I feel uncomfortable, so I can't help but want to cry..."

"What's the matter, I'm used to it." Jing Se interrupted her, her tone was extremely calm, her face was calm, "I was alone when Haohao was born, and I was alone when he was killed in Huating Mountain. Now I'm pregnant with my second baby, and I'm still alone. After so many years, I've become used to being alone, so it doesn't matter if he's around or not?"

Lifting the brocade quilt and getting out of bed, Jing Se sat directly in front of the mirror stand.

Yingluo immediately came in to wash her up.

Qing'er brought warm bean porridge and some assorted snacks. Jingse couldn't finish it, but for the sake of the baby in her stomach, she still managed to eat a little before being taken away.

Seeing her like this, Yin Xiangsi was filled with emotion.

*
At noon, someone came to the palace. It was Eunuch An, the head of the imperial court.

He was different from the last time when the female officer next to the Empress Dowager was so defiant. When he saw Jing Se and Yin Xiangsi, he greeted Ann very respectfully, and then said: "Yesterday, the emperor recovered and was able to stay here, and it coincided with the first meeting of the year. Xue, the Empress Dowager's sacred heart is very joyful, and she is holding a banquet in the palace today, and the two masters, Concubine Ning and Princess Zhaoran, are specially invited to the palace for the banquet."

Yin Xiangsi frowned, "Do I have to go?"

Eunuch An raised his eyes to look at the two masters, and nodded, "This servant is just passing on the message for the empress dowager."

"Okay, please wait for a while, my father-in-law, and I will leave when I am ready."

This Eunuch An was the most useful eunuch of the late Emperor during his lifetime, so Yin Xiangsi spoke politely to him.

Mr. An followed the rules and led a group of palace people to stand outside the gate and wait.

After Yin Xiangsi pulled Jing Se back to the room, she frowned tightly, hesitating left and right, "Sister-in-law, what should I do, I feel that today is a Hongmen banquet."

Jing Se said calmly: "Aren't there too few Hongmen banquets we went to?"

"But..." Yin Xiangsi glanced at her lower abdomen, "It was the past, when you were alone, and now you are pregnant, so we are not fighting with two, but three, I am worried that the baby will be born What an accident."

"It doesn't matter." Jing Se said: "It's a blessing, not a disaster. It's a disaster that can't be avoided. I know so many secrets of the Queen Mother Wei. Between me and her, sooner or later we have to settle. We have to fight each other to the death. Why bother?" Procrastinating again and again, I hope that this day will come as soon as possible, at least before they find out that I am pregnant, I must solve all these troubles as soon as possible, and then I can calm down and have a baby. An Sheng, I don't want the second child to repeat the mistakes of the first child, otherwise, how can I, as a mother, be worthy of my child?"

After a pause, she added in a low voice, "Fan Chen is not here, the only one I can rely on now is myself."

Yin Xiangsi pursed her lips tightly, unable to bear it in her heart.

"Okay." Jing Se patted her on the shoulder, "Don't look at me with such sympathetic eyes, I'm not weak enough to ask for sympathy, I don't have martial arts, I can't protect anyone, but at least, protect I still have the ability of myself and my baby, so it won't be easy for people to calculate."

Yin Xiangsi came back to his senses and smiled, "Sister-in-law, what self-defense items do you usually prepare, just tell me, and I'll help you find them."

Jing Se said: "I usually go out with only silver needles."

"How can we do that?" Yin Xiangsi said, "Today we are going to the Hongmen Banquet. Silver needles alone cannot guarantee the safety of the baby in your womb. Let me prepare some self-defense items for you."

Jing Se smiled faintly, but didn't stop her. She sat on the wicker chair and waited for her.

After about a cup of tea, Yin Xiangsi prepared everything and came out from the room.

Jing Se glanced at her up and down, and said, "It doesn't look any different from just now, what did you bring?"

Yin Xiangsi smiled mysteriously, "I'm good at using poison, so most of them are poisonous. Although these things can help you defend yourself, you are pregnant with a baby after all, so you can't take it with you at will, so I'll do it for you."

"Are you all ready?" Jing Se asked.

"Well, everything is fine." Yin Xiangsi nodded and helped her stand up, "Let's go."

Putting on the precious white fox fur, Jing Se followed Yin Xiangsi out of Prince Ning's Mansion, got into the carriage arranged by the palace and soon entered the imperial city.

Today's palace banquet was held in the Chenxiang Pavilion, a waterside pavilion in the Imperial Garden. When Jing Se came, he vaguely heard the palace people talking about "competition", "winning prizes" and other gossip.

But because the voices of the palace people were too low, she couldn't hear clearly.

Yin Xiangsi also noticed, she simply dragged a court lady over and asked, "What were you talking about just now?"

The palace maid was so frightened that she shivered, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Princess princess, please forgive me, this servant dare not talk too much."

Yin Xiangsi half-closed her eyes and shouted, "Stand up and speak!"

The maid trembled tremblingly and stood up shaking her body.

Yin Xiangsi's eyes turned cold, "Be honest with the princess, what are you talking about?"

The palace maid glanced around and saw that there was no power-holder like the queen mother nearby, so she dared to whisper, "If you go back to the princess, it is His Royal Highness Xuan who traveled abroad and returned. His Royal Highness Xuan is addicted to metaphysics, the princess should know. Your Highness has learned a lot during this trip. Half a month ago, someone started to set up a big maze in the imperial garden. His Highness King Xuan was very interested, and he has already given orders. There are only one of the eight entrances in the maze. The exit is the way of life, and after a while the palace banquet begins, people will be selected to enter the maze, and the first to get the flag out of the maze will be rewarded heavily."

When Yin Xiangsi heard this, he immediately rolled his eyes, "I just said that my cousin has nothing to do all day, and he just makes some messes, and there are rewards for everything. He likes to study the five elements and gossip all day long, and he is almost an old magician. , with him like that, what good luck can you get?"

The palace maid lowered her head and murmured: "I heard that the regent is full of praise for His Royal Highness Xuan Wang's move, and promised that whoever gets the flag first and finds the exit will agree to a condition."

Jing Se raised her eyebrows, and there was a bit of interest in her eyes.

Yin Xiangsi looked at Jing Se nervously after waving his hand to screen the palace maid, "Sister-in-law, aren't you interested in this labyrinth?"

Jing Se pursed her lips, "Or, what I'm interested in is the condition of the regent."

Yin Xiangsi immediately frowned, "No way! This matter is strange when you hear it. The regent is obviously sure that you will take the initiative to participate in the maze because of the lottery he offered. This is a trap. Sister-in-law, you can't jump down .”

Jing Se's face was calm, but her tone was cold, "I know this is a trap, but if I don't go down and give it a try, how do I know if I will fall?" Suddenly smiling at Yin Xiangsi, she said, "What if I Good luck, did you really find the exit? Then, can I take the initiative to propose a condition to the regent?"

Yin Xiangsi was so anxious that he turned around, and his heart broke, "Sister-in-law, what wish do you have, just tell me directly, and I will fulfill it for you even if I try my best, but I do not allow you to participate in this maze."

Jing Se looked over the majestic palace, cast it far, far away, and said slowly: "My wish is very simple, I want to go back to West Qin."

Yin Xiangsi was shocked, "You want to go back to West Qin?"

"Well." Jing Se nodded, "I don't like this place. I miss my grandmother and my little treasure. I want to see them every day. Xiaoqi, you don't understand. After becoming a mother, I have lost a lot of ambition. The biggest My wish is to be able to stay together with my loved ones, even if it is eating chaff, I am willing."

Yin Xiangsi was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his head, his eyes said firmly: "Let me think about it again, there must be a way, sister-in-law, we know it's a trap, we can't continue to drill in, otherwise... if you have a What can be done if there are three long and two short?"

Jing Se smiled, "I have a sense of proportion, and I won't joke about my life and the baby in my stomach."

Yin Xiangsi couldn't resist her, and the two came to Chenxiang Pavilion together.

The Empress Dowager Wei, Emperor Xi, the Regent and other people in power were all seated inside, and there were many ministers and clan members under them.

Jing Se's gaze was fixed on the man sitting next to the regent, and he was wearing a water-colored gown, fresh and elegant, with handsome and elegant features, thin lips with smooth lines, always upturned, and a smile.

Sitting clearly in the crowd, yet he exudes a brilliance that cannot be ignored like morning dew being illuminated by the warm sun, standing out from the crowd, making people's eyes move over involuntarily.

Jing Se tilted her head and glanced at Yin Xiangsi, Yin Xiangsi whispered: "This is His Royal Highness Xuan Wang, the fifth son of my emperor's uncle, and also the younger brother of the former prince Yin Che."

The younger brother of the former prince Yin Che?
Jing Se squinted her eyes, secretly thinking that His Royal Highness Xuan Wang knew that his elder brother was killed by the cooperation of the Queen Mother Wei and the Regent.

Pulling back her thoughts, Jing Se slowly stepped forward to salute everyone.

Hearing the sound, Xuan Wang Yin Cheng turned his head slightly, his eyes paused for a moment on Jing Se, and a trace of inexplicable light flashed across his eyes. This moment was extremely fast, and then he returned to normal, the smile on the corners of his mouth deepened, and his two fingers Holding the wine glass and drinking by himself, his posture is extremely chic and willful.

Empress Dowager Wei looked at Jing Se with a half-smile.

Since the riot in Jingren Palace a month ago, this woman has become more and more calm. Could it be that she thought she would be safe if she got hold of her?
The Empress Dowager Wei's eyes showed a cold killing intent, and she looked at the regent without a trace.

The regent also looked over, and the eyes of the two met in the air, full of conspiracy and vendetta, especially hostile.

Coldly pursing her lips, Queen Mother Wei looked at Jing Se.

The gossip and nine palaces that the regent personally participated in arranging today is the date of this woman's death!

With a smile on her face, Empress Dowager Wei asked Jing Se and Yin Xiangsi to give seats, and said with a smile: "Princess Ning has not entered the palace for nearly a month, I am afraid she is not familiar with the members of Dongli's royal family, Aijia will introduce you. "

After finishing speaking, she patiently introduced the royal princesses and highnesses who had been crowned kings to Jingse one by one.

When it was King Xuan Yincheng's turn, Empress Dowager Wei made a special introduction.

"This is the fifth son of the first emperor, King Xuan Yin Cheng. He is the most free and unrestrained person in the whole royal family. He has been obsessed with metaphysics since he was a child. He especially loves to study the five elements and eight trigrams. He has just returned from going out for half a month."

Jing Se gave a symbolic blessing, "I have met His Royal Highness Xuan Wang."

The corners of Yin Cheng's lips were smiling, and his eyes fell on her, with dark light flowing in his clear eyes. After a while, he smiled softly, "Princess Ning, you are welcome."

Jing Se always felt that Yin Cheng was looking at her with strange eyes, but she herself was not sure where the strangeness was, so she simply lowered her eyes and sat down slowly.

Empress Dowager Wei made a long prologue before getting to the point. She raised her eyebrows and said, "Everyone, please look behind you."

Everyone turned their heads in unison.

Jing Se also turned her eyes to look over, and saw that the imperial garden not far ahead had been surrounded by thorns into a huge wall of thorns at some point. It was airtight, and it was impossible to see what was going on inside. What is certain is that this labyrinth is huge, occupying about half of the imperial garden.

With a slight movement in his mind, Jing Se thought that the Queen Mother Wei and the Regent had put in a lot of painstaking efforts to deal with him.

"This is the Maze of the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams." The Empress Dowager Wei said: "Ordinary palace banquets, in addition to drinking and enjoying singing and dancing, everyone finds it boring. Now King Xuan is ingenious, and it took half a month to personally arrange this maze for us. The Ai family also thinks it is very interesting. interesting."

The Empress Dowager Wei just finished speaking, and the eyes of the ministers, ministers, family members and royal princesses are shining. You must know that these people have been locked in the courtyard and the palace all day long. , Naturally, everyone is full of curiosity in their hearts, and they all want to go in and find out.

So, someone immediately asked: "Empress Dowager, can everyone enter the maze?"

The Queen Mother smiled, "Of course. It's just that due to the large number of people, we will make another arrangement later, enter the maze in batches, a group of eight people, each person chooses a door to enter, and the time limit for a stick of incense is limited. Can get the flag with the word 'glass' written in the middle of the maze within the specified time limit and get out of the maze safely..."

Before she finished speaking, Queen Mother Wei looked at Prince Regent Yin Long.

The corner of Yin Long's mouth hooked slightly, "The winner, I will grant him one condition."

The Empress Dowager Wei glanced at Jing Se without a trace, and then said: "You have also heard that those who get the flag within the specified time limit will have a condition personally agreed by the regent, but if it exceeds the specified time limit, whoever If you don’t get the flag, or if you get the flag but the time limit is exceeded, then you won’t be able to count and you’ll lose.”

The regent personally promised a condition!
This once-in-a-century lottery is simply too tempting.

Ministers and ministers whispered to each other, Miss Qianjin and princesses were eager to try, everyone was full of 12 percent confidence, and wished they could grow their wings and fly into the maze to check the situation.

"Then..." Picking up the wine glass and taking a sip, the Empress Dowager Wei looked down again, smiling lightly, "From now on, you can sign up."

"I'll come first!" Yin Xi stood up first, raised her eyebrows and looked at Queen Mother Wei.

He was the emperor himself, and he lacked everything, so naturally he would not be interested in the regent's promise. He mainly wanted to go in and see what was so mysterious about this labyrinth.

Empress Dowager Wei immediately frowned, "Emperor, you have just recovered from a serious illness, so don't mess around!"

Yin Xi was not convinced, and snorted coldly, "The queen mother said that everyone has the opportunity to enter, and I am also a human being, why can't I enter?"

Empress Dowager Wei's eyes became colder, "You are the emperor, if something goes wrong, where will you put civil and military officials, Liming and the people?"

Yin Xi stared, "I don't care, I'm going to decide today's Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams Maze Formation, and whoever dares to block it, I will punish him for a serious crime! Even if you are my mother, if you dare to block it, I will punish you for the same crime !"

Empress Dowager Wei turned pale, pointed at him, and her tone was full of hatred for iron, "You!"

Yin Xi didn't want to argue with Queen Mother Wei anymore, he stared at the direction of the maze, his eagerness to try showed on his face, full of interest.

Yin Long took the opportunity to say: "Since the emperor wants to go, it's okay to let him try. The maze is just some innocuous small obstacles, and there will never be any danger of life. The emperor is talented and sensitive to the maze." interest, maybe he will be the first to get the flag."

Hearing what Yin Long said, Yin Xi raised his eyebrows proudly at Queen Mother Wei, his eyes full of provocation.

Empress Dowager Wei was still hesitating, her complexion was not very good.

King Xuan smiled lowly, and suddenly said: "Since the emperor's uncle has said that there will never be any danger of life, the queen mother might as well let the emperor have a try. If I can get the flag in one fell swoop, it will prove that my emperor Dongli is outstanding at a young age. ?”

The Empress Dowager Wei glanced at Yin Long again, and saw that the other party nodded almost imperceptibly, so she said to Yin Xi reluctantly, "Since the two princes, the Regent and Xuan Wang, have spoken in person, the Ai family will You are allowed to be willful once."

Yin Xi snorted arrogantly, "What is capricious? I am the Son of Heaven, so I naturally have the responsibility to lead the people. If I don't set an example for such interesting things, how can the subjects under my feet be obeyed?"

Empress Dowager Wei pursed her lips tightly and said nothing.

The emperor also wanted to participate in the Nine Palaces Labyrinth, so it was decided.

The official daughter, the princess and the princes quickly went to the place designated by the Queen Mother Wei to sign up.

The Empress Dowager Wei didn't care about the enthusiasm of those people at all, her gaze swept across Jing Se who was motionless on the seat like a poisonous snake, and frowned inadvertently.

This woman is still indifferent until now, could it be that she is not interested in the conditions of the regent?

Jing Se noticed the malicious gaze of Queen Mother Wei, she slowly raised her head, and happened to meet Queen Mother Wei's gaze.

The coldness in her eyes turned into a deep smile, Queen Mother Wei bent her lips and asked, "Isn't Princess Ning interested in this Nine Palaces puzzle?"

Jingse smiled indifferently, "Such an interesting puzzle and lottery, my wife is naturally interested."

The subject changed, "It's just..."

"Just what?" Queen Mother Wei asked.

Jing Se's soft eyes fell on the Prince Regent Yin Long, and the corners of his mouth turned up, "The Prince Regent just promised that you, the winner, will agree to a condition. Is this true?"

Yin Long looked at her with a smile, "This king is a majestic regent, the emperor's assistant minister, how can he easily change what he said in front of all the officials? This king said that he agreed to one condition, so the lottery is that the winner can make the condition at will." , of course, this condition must be within all moral principles."

Jing Se understood, "Then, if the minister's wife wins the competition, will the regent agree to the minister's wife's conditions?"

Yin Long's smile deepened, "Of course." After a pause, "But the premise is that Princess Ning must get the flag and come out safely within the specified time limit."

Jing Se smiled slightly, "The condition for the minister's wife is that the Queen Mother and the Regent Enzhun the minister's wife to return to West Qin for one year."

Everyone's face changed greatly.

Regardless of whether it is not in accordance with the etiquette to return to the country with the princess, Princess Ning's tone is too arrogant. She put forward the conditions before the competition started?
All the officials looked at the regent at the same time, expecting how this iron-blooded emperor's close minister would answer such a tricky question from Princess Ning.

Empress Dowager Wei's brows were calm. She didn't agree with Jing Se's words, but she knew that there was a murder trap in the maze, and she was waiting for Jing Se, a bitch who knew all the secrets of her and Yin Long, to die.

As long as Jing Se dies and finds a way to get rid of Yin Xiangsi, no one in this world will know about her relationship with Yin Long, and no one will expose Yin Xi's true life experience.

Gently pursing his lips, Yin Long smiled charmingly, "Okay! It's rare that Princess Ning is so courageous that she can win the first place. Then, this king agrees to your condition in front of all civil and military officials."

All the ministers gasped when they heard the words, thinking to themselves, could it be that the sun is coming out from the west today?

It's fine for Princess Ning to be crazy alone, but the regent also let her go?It's unbelievable.

The slander belongs to the slander, but no one dares to stand up and question the decision of the regent. Everyone is just holding a wait-and-see attitude. After all, although Princess Ning has spoken out, it is still unknown whether she has the ability to win the top spot. Maybe in a while It is also possible to lose and lose face.

Yin Xiangsi's expression changed drastically in anxiety, and he gently tugged at Jing Se's sleeve, and advised in a low voice, "Sister-in-law, you can't go, it's dangerous."

Jing Se tilted her head, looked at Yin Xiangsi and smiled slightly, "Xiaoqi, trust me once."

Yin Xiangsi shook his head vigorously, "It's not that I don't believe you, but I can't do it knowing that there is danger in the maze, but I still want to watch you go to the danger. How can I explain to my brother-in-law?"

Jing Se lowered her eyelashes slightly, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "For the sake of the baby in my stomach, I must go for a while."

"Sister-in-law!" Yin Xiangsi's eyes were red with anxiety, "If you insist on going, then I will accompany you."

"Xiaoqi, you..."

"Sister-in-law don't need to talk anymore." In an instant, Yin Xiangsi had already made a decision, "I will go with you, if there is any danger, I will just block it for you, as long as you can come out safely, I can do whatever you want."

Jing Se sighed softly, slowly stood up and turned to the queen mother and the regent, and said, "Both the minister's wife and Princess Zhaoran want to sign up."

Empress Dowager Wei smiled, "To see Princess Ning showing off her charm on the first snow this year is considered a blessing to the Ai family and all the officials. Since you all want to participate, then follow the rules and draw lots to enter the maze. order of."

Yin Xiangsi was startled, "The order of admission has to be drawn by lot?"

"Of course." The Empress Dowager Wei said: "This is to be fair and just to all participants. Why, Princess Zhaoran has objections?"

Yin Xiangsi wanted to say more, but Jing Se grabbed his wrist and shook his head indistinctly.

Yin Xiangsi was very angry. Although she knew that there was nothing wrong with drawing lots for the sake of the fairness of the game, but today's game was unusual, and it was obviously a game set up by old bastard Wei and Yin Long to deal with the sister-in-law. They are adulterous and secretive people.

Thinking of this, Yin Xiangsi felt uncomfortable and her teeth were grinding.

No matter how reluctant, Yin Xiangsi was still dragged by Jing Se to the registration office to draw lots with other participants.

Because the Jiugong Maze is too new, there are many participants today, about a hundred or so.

Yin Xiangsi and Jing Se each reached out and grabbed a ball of paper from the cage.

Jing Se didn't have any expression on her face, but Yin Xiangsi was extremely nervous, half-squinting her eyes and uncovering the paper balls bit by bit.

Anxious to see the order and nervous to be overwhelmed.

Jing Se looked at her, suddenly amused, took the ball of paper for her and opened it directly.

It clearly states that Yin Xiangsi's trademark is "Number [-]".

A group of eight people, according to the order, No. 21 is the third group.

Fortunately, not in the first group.

Yin Xiangsi breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Jing Se suspiciously, "Sister-in-law, what's your number?"

Jing Se smiled, and spread out her palms, "Number One" was written on the ball of paper.

Eyes widened suddenly, Yin Xiangsi glanced at the others in disbelief, everyone had different serial numbers.

"It's such a coincidence!" Yin Xiangsi frowned, so many people in front had already drawn serial numbers, so no one has drawn number one?
The more I think about it, the more I feel that Jing Se's account has been tampered with, and Yin Xiangsi is full of resentment.

"Xiaoqi, forget it." Seeing her complexion, Jing Se said, "The first group is the first group. I just happen to be quite interested in this maze." Lowering her voice, Jing Se whispered: " When I come out, I will find a way to reveal the situation inside to you."

The order was arranged, and it was destined that he would not be able to be in the same group with his sister-in-law. Yin Xiangsi could only sigh and sighed, and could only hang his head and tell her, "Sister-in-law, you must be careful. If... if you really can't get the banner, don't force it." Myself, come out as soon as possible. And me, I will get it for you, if I win, I will give you the condition, and then personally escort you back to the country, okay?"

"Okay." Jing Se smiled softly.

The maze was arranged by Xuan Wang Yincheng himself, and now that the order of entry has been determined, it is natural for him to explain the precautions.

Standing in front of the entrance of the maze, Yin Cheng glanced at the eight people in the first group and smiled, "Today's maze formation is all set up to celebrate the emperor's recovery from a serious illness. Come on, the picture is just for entertainment. There are eight directions and eight entrances in the maze. After a while, someone will take you to the entrance corresponding to your respective serial number. When the king blows his whistle, the game will start. One stick of incense is the time limit. A flag is in the center of the maze, your goal is not just the flag, you have to find the exit to win. Do you understand?"

"Understood—" everyone replied in unison.

King Xuan glanced at the No. [-] card in Jingse's hand, and his smile was a bit meaningful, and the voice of mosquitoes and flies came from the wind and snow, "Princess Ning, I wish you good luck."

Jing Se's heart froze, she looked up, and saw that King Xuan had already stood on the high platform, looking down at them, as if the person who spoke to her just now was not him at all.

Looking away, Jing Se heard King Xuan's voice, "Everyone take your place—"

Immediately, a maidservant in pink came to take the eight people from the first group to the entrances of the eight directions of the maze and stood there. Since the maze was very large, after everyone took their positions, no one could see who was standing at the adjacent entrance. You can only see the huge wall of thorns in front of you, like giant barriers, blocking everyone's sight and not being able to see each other.

The loud whistle sounded immediately, and Jing Se stepped up and walked slowly into the entrance.

It was probably to prevent people from climbing up to cheat, so the thorny forest was erected extremely high, blocking most of the light, and it felt a little dark after entering.

Jing Se stepped on the road under her feet slowly, taking every step very carefully.

She knew that this was a murderous situation set up by the Queen Mother Wei and the Regent to deal with her, but she couldn't figure it out for the time being, if there were killers ambushing in such a maze, wouldn't their voices be heard when they started fighting?

The Empress Dowager Wei and the Regent are not afraid?
Just a few steps away, there are two forked roads on the left and right in front of you. Since they are all walls surrounded by thorns, all planes are the same. It is difficult to see the difference. If you choose the wrong road, you may always go around in circles And can't go out.

Jing Se only thought about it for a while, and then chose to go to the right. She really didn't have much research on the gossip of the Nine Palaces, and she didn't know how to find the flag in the middle of the maze as quickly as possible.

The reason why she wanted to attend was because Fan Chen said something in her ear at the palace banquet that night in front of everyone.

It was that sentence that made her change her mind about going out to sea with him, and she was willing to stay as a hostage until he returned.

Looking up at the gloomy sky, Jing Se took a deep breath and continued walking.

I don't know what mechanism I stepped on, for a moment, Jing Se felt that the world was spinning, and his whole body was falling.

This scene was so sudden that Jing Se was completely caught off guard. She closed her eyes and subconsciously protected her lower abdomen with her hands.

She can get hurt, baby can't!

It was pitch black in front of her eyes, she couldn't see anything around her, and the only feeling was that her body was still falling.

Panic suddenly surged in Jing Se's heart, falling from such a high place, no matter where it landed for a while, it would definitely hurt the fetus in the womb.

Fear piled up more and more, Jing Se instinctively wanted to call for help, but found that because she fell too fast, she could only open her mouth to "Ah—" and couldn't utter a word beside it.

"Boom—" Just when Jing Se was about to despair, her back suddenly hit the hard rock wall, and she fell straight down to the ground.

But what surprised her was that she didn't land on the hard floor, but on a soft velvet mat. She herself was fine, and the baby in her womb was also quiet.

Wiping off the cold sweat from her forehead, Jing Se sat up and took a deep breath.

fortunately!

Slowly opening her eyes, Jing Se realized that this was an underground river. She was sitting at a higher position, so she didn't get in the water, and the river was full of turbulent water under her feet, with a little heat.

On the opposite side of the river bank, there is a rock wall, and the rock wall has a recessed hole, and a candle is lit in it, which can barely illuminate the location of this area.

Jing Se glanced around, and saw that this turbulent underground river led to a very far place, submerged in the darkness, and could not see its end.

She squeezed her fingers, stood up reluctantly, looked up, and saw that the place where she had landed just now had been closed by a mechanism, there was no way out, there was not even the slightest gap, the top couldn't work, so she had to go down.

The only way out is to follow the river.

If this was a quiet river, Jing Se would definitely go down without saying a word, but the river under her feet was turbulent, and the water was still steaming, she didn't dare to try it at all, thinking of the baby in her stomach, Jing Se flinched for the first time , sitting in place motionless.

At this time, she no longer thought about how to get the flag in the middle of the maze, she just wanted to stay where she was and maintain her strength, and then try to find another way out.

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of drawing a bow and nodding an arrow suddenly came from the upper reaches of the river.

Jingse's hearing is excellent, so even with the surging river below her feet, she immediately heard that someone from the upper reaches had pointed a bow and arrow at her.

With a terrified expression on his face, Jing Se stood up abruptly.

At this very moment, a feathered arrow with a blue-black arrow flew over with a "swish", brushed her sleeve and pierced it. Since it missed, the feathered arrow soon fell into the water and drifted away with the river. , in a blink of an eye.

Jing Se lowered her eyebrows and saw that her sleeves had been torn by feather arrows.

The sound of feathered arrows flying rapidly could be heard in the air.

This time, not one, but dozens of them together!
Jing Se turned her eyes, and in her pupils that reflected the dim light of the candlelight, there were feather arrows as dense as migratory locusts, flying towards her with countless killing intent.

Glancing at the turbulent river below her feet, and then at the feather arrows that were getting closer and could soon shoot her into a sieve, Jing Se's eyes turned red, and she reached out her arms with difficulty to take out the gift that Fan Chen left for her before leaving. Tips.

Fan Chen said that this thing can only be opened when her life is at stake.

Opening the kit as quickly as possible, Jing Se found that there was a note inside. After glancing at the words on the note, Jing Se's expression changed drastically.
