Chapter 225
At night, Su Ruoqi and Yun Xi entered the tunnel again. They looked at the long and narrow tunnel. According to the drawing, the tunnel could be dug through after only two more days of digging.

"Finally about to dig through."Li Ran said excitedly, this kind of excitement about going out is hard for anyone to suppress.

Yun Xi and Su Ruoqi looked solemn, because no one knew what was waiting for them after going out.

"Why are you unhappy?" Li Ran asked curiously, maybe the situation after escaping would be much better in his eyes.

Seeing that the two did not answer, Li Ran also noticed the seriousness on their faces, and fell silent.

As soon as Yun Xi and Su Ruoqi came back from the dark room, they felt a pair of eyes flickering on and off at the corner of the wall staring at them. Yun Xi had a creepy feeling.

Suddenly a cat came out and meowed at her a few times, before Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.

A white cat with one blue eye and one yellow eye rubbed against Yun Xi.

Seeing that it was very cute, Yun Xi held it in her arms and stroked it.Its fur is very smooth and soft.It is not as rough and skinny as ordinary wild cats.On the contrary, this cat is very plump, with shiny and shiny fur.

Because of having a cat, the mansion became lively.But with the increase of spies and the tight situation outside.Su Ruoqi and Yun Xi were getting more and more busy, digging tunnels almost all night.

The three of them worked hard at night, and were exhausted during the day, so they had to rest for a while.Then came to dig the tunnel again.

The spies now not only observe them quietly in a hidden place, sometimes, when Yunxi spots their figures, they will not avoid them as quickly as before.

Yun Xi knew in her heart that this showed that the Queen cared less and less about Su Ruoqi.

But looking at Su Ruoqi with a tired face, Yun Xi swallowed her words again and didn't say anything.

"Yunxi, what's the matter, what happened?"

"No." Yun Xi shook her head.

In fact, Su Ruoqi also vaguely felt it in his heart, and the activities of spies became more and more frequent.He could only dig the tunnel desperately in order to get out as soon as possible.

"Ah" Su Ruoqi roared, and shoveled the shovel towards the soil in front of him.

Su Ruoqi yelled out all the resentment he had felt for many days.While shouting angrily, he dug the soil in front of him vigorously.

Li Ran saw that he was also imitating Su Ruoqi, and shouted, digging while shouting.

The muscles of both of them tensed up, and they shoveled hard against the mud and stone in front of them.

A boulder in front loosened and rolled down due to the joint efforts of two people.

At this time, Li Ran and Su Ruoqi were covered in sweat, their clothes were stuck to their bodies, and their chests with distinct muscles could be seen.

After moving the boulder, the three of them worked together to dig a long section before stopping.Because Yun Xi was digging a tunnel, her hands were covered with blisters, and she felt very painful when she moved.

"Hiss..." Yun Xi accidentally touched the blister on her hand just now, and cried out in pain.

Under the torches in the tunnel, Su Ruoqi saw the big blister on Yunxi's hand, his eyes were filled with distress and helplessness, and he held Yunxi's hand tightly.

After exiting the tunnel, Su Ruoqi pulled Yunxi's hand over, gently opened it with a needle, squeezed out the pus inside, and then wrapped Yunxi up with gauze.

Su Ruoqi's serious appearance fell into Yunxi's eyes. Although his hands hurt a little, his heart was still warm.

Su Ruoqi and Yunxi are still the same as usual, in the morning, Yunxi cooks, while Su Ruoqi goes to exercise for a while.

Li Ran's martial arts are also getting better and better, but Yun Xi still feels that something is wrong, as if something is about to happen.

All the officials in the capital were dismissed because they opposed the queen, and some serious ones were even beheaded.The notice posted on the street stated that those officials would be executed tomorrow.

Su Ruoqi and Yun Xi also mixed in the crowd, watching those officials being imprisoned in shackles, the senior officials who were once entrusted with important tasks became prisoners one by one.

The surrounding people sighed: "This world is going to be chaotic."

A young official was in the prison car, and a woman in a red dress ran towards the prison car in the distance.

"Lady, why are you here?"The young man in the prison car took the woman's hand and said.

"Husband, I'm here to deliver food to you." The woman still had a basket in her hand.

In the crowd, the hands of the two were separated soon.But the woman still tried hard to hold her husband's hand.

During the execution, the woman was seen again.When the guillotine was about to be put down, the woman rushed to the center of the field, protecting her husband with her body.

The young man looked at his blood-covered wife and wept bitterly, only to see his wife smiled at him and lowered her arms.

Naturally, the executioner would not let the man go, and slashed at his head with a knife.Everyone sighed, and when he was about to drop the knife, Su Ruoqi covered Yunxi's eyes with his hands.

He was afraid that Yunxi would see the bloody scene, but Yunxi didn't see it with his eyes, but he saw the misery of the people in his heart.

Under the Queen's violent suppression, hundreds of officials were beheaded here for public display.There were bursts of crying in the surrounding crowd. They were all relatives of these officials, and they came to see them for the last time.

Yun Xi looked at the corpses on the stage, her eyes became numb and cloudy, her face was pale, she was quite frightened.It wasn't until Su Ruoqi led her to the mansion that she regained her composure.

Although her spirit had recovered, Yun Xi still remained silent, and even lost her appetite for food.

Su Ruoqi thought that it was because Yunxi had never seen such a scene of killing before, so it happened for a while.In fact, Yunxi remembered her life as an agent, and she was so bloody, she recalled the scene in her previous life.

At night, Yun Xi opened her eyes and finally broke away from her fantasy.

Su Ruoqi felt the warmth of Yun Xi's body, and finally let go of his heart.

Because of Yun Xi's abnormality, Su Ruoqi didn't go into the tunnel, but stayed by Yun Xi's side.

In the tunnel, Li Ran was alone. He put the torch on the fixed iron frame of the tunnel, picked up the shovel, and started the night-long work.

In the imperial palace, the empress's hall was lit with fine incense, and the fragrance was gentle.The queen was lying on the gorgeous agarwood couch, her brows were slightly frowned.

Although the queen was lying lazily on the bed, her expression was not as relaxed as her body.
