Jiang Qingchen was choked by the thick smoke and coughed repeatedly, and gradually regained consciousness. It was dark all around, except for the thick smoke that was pouring into her lungs, making her feel suffocating pain.

She tried to sit up, but found that her limbs were so weak that she could barely move. Only then did she realize that she had been locked in a secret room, and that the secret room was being filled with poison gas.

The emperor's husband sent someone to announce her to the Guanghua Palace. She came thinking that the emperor's husband had returned from the emperor and had something to tell her. Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the door, Zhang Ji knocked her unconscious from behind.

It was like this when she woke up. This royal husband was really vicious. Jiang Qingchen didn't have time to think about it. She had to find a way to escape as soon as possible, otherwise she would only die.

She struggled desperately, trying to move her body, but she couldn't exert any strength. She felt her breathing becoming more and more difficult, and the darkness in front of her eyes became increasingly blurry.

Just when she was about to lose consciousness, she suddenly remembered that she still had the secret Qingxin Pill on her body. This kind of pill can cure hundreds of poisons, and she specially prepared it for herself.

She fumbled with difficulty, finally took out the pills from the small bag at her waist, and swallowed them in one gulp.

The pill melted in her mouth, and a cool feeling came from her throat and gradually spread to her whole body. She felt her strength slowly returning and her breathing became easier.

Not daring to waste time, she pulled off a piece of fabric, covered her mouth and nose, and immediately struggled to stand up, groping for an exit.

She heard footsteps coming from outside. It was very likely that someone from the royal wife might have come to see if she was dead. She felt anxious and groped even more desperately, but she couldn't find the source. It was too dark inside.

When she heard the door opening, she simply lay on the ground and pretended to be dead, but she held two silver needles tightly in her hands. As a dazzling white light came in, a voice sounded, "She should be dead."

"Go up and take a look. Don't make any mistakes. The emperor will not spare us." Another voice sounded.

The guard lowered his head and wanted to check Jiang Qingchen's temperament. Jiang Qingchen suddenly opened her eyes and pierced her heart with a needle. She fell to the ground with a cry.

"What's wrong with you?" The other person wanted to pull her companion up, but Jiang Qingchen raised another needle and pierced her heart. The two fell together individually.

Jiang Qingchen rushed to the secret room door without hesitation, only to find that he was in a strange place.

She couldn't tell whether this was inside the palace or outside the palace. At this moment, she just wanted to survive.

Jiang Qingchen didn't dare to stop and immediately ran in the opposite direction. If the royal husband knew that she had escaped, he would definitely send people to hunt him down. She must escape from this place as soon as possible.

She ran through the long corridors, feeling that her energy was almost exhausted, but she did not dare to stop. She knew that as long as she stopped, she would be overtaken by the royal husband's people.

She saw an unguarded wall and thought to herself that maybe this was the palace's last line of defense. She climbed up the wall without hesitation and jumped off.

With a chirp, she fell heavily to the ground, but she had no time to care about her injuries. She immediately got up and continued running forward.

It wasn't until she saw a shop on the street that she knew she had escaped from the palace, but the royal husband's people would definitely catch up.

She must find a safe place to hide as soon as possible, and then find an opportunity to contact the Ninth Prince. If the Ninth Prince discovers that she is missing, he will definitely send people to look for her everywhere.

Fortunately, Jiang Qingchen's hearing was very good. She could hear the commotion in front of her, as if she was trying to catch someone, maybe he was the wife of the emperor.

She was so frightened that she quickly hid in an alley. Her stomach was growling with hunger. She had been unconscious in the secret room for an unknown amount of time. She felt like she would have no strength if she didn't eat something.

I was in a hurry when I went to Zheng Huangfu's place and forgot to bring my wallet with me. Apart from a bottle of Qingxin Pills, I didn't have anything valuable on me.

By the way, there is a piece of ancient jade around his neck. It fell into a cave on Jigong Mountain and was picked up in the inner room of his mentor Feng Miaoshou. Even if he starved to death, he could not sell it.

There happened to be a meat bun shop next to it. It was steaming hot and the wind blew gently, making Jiang Qingchen swallow her saliva. She had never been so hungry.

When she was resisting hunger, the people searching in front of her came over. She was hiding behind a pile of firewood in the alley and did not dare to make a sound. The leader asked the bun shop owner fiercely, "Have you ever seen a woman who is so tall and looks like this?" ."

The head guard spread out a portrait, and inside it was Jiang Qingchen's portrait. The royal husband should have painted her portrait a long time ago, otherwise why did he do it so quickly.

It seemed that he had never planned to let Jiang Qingchen go, let alone intercede with the emperor for her, saying that she would marry the Ninth Prince. Both he and the Ninth Prince had fallen into the scheme of the main emperor's husband.

"My lord, no, no, I didn't see it." The bun shop owner shook his head, unable to speak clearly.

The man waved his hand and walked to the next stall. Jiang Qingchen felt relieved. He had escaped for a while. Is this a city-wide manhunt? It seemed that the royal husband was not going to let her go.

Just because he saved the Ninth Prince's life and ruined his plan, was he going to kill himself? I don’t know how Ziliang is doing now? Will the royal husband embarrass him?

Guluuluulu...

It's useless to think about these things now. Fill your stomach first, and then think about other things if you can survive. Just now, I was thinking about how to get meat buns. Now that the boss has seen his portrait and sees what he looks like, will he give me something better? Official report, this is no joke.

It would definitely not be possible to go directly to the boss to ask for it. Jiang Qingchen touched the gold and silver needles in his arms. The gold needles were for treating diseases, and the silver needles were weapons for her to deal with the enemy.

But this meat bun boss is not an enemy. If I use silver to immobilize her and take her buns, wouldn’t I be a bad person? Jiang Qingchen was confused.

No matter what, stay alive first, and then I won't hurt her life.

Holding a silver needle in her hand, she walked carefully to the shop. Her heartbeat accelerated and her palms became slightly sweaty, but her steps remained firm. It was the first time she had actively done something bad, and she felt a little guilty.

She took a deep breath and tried to look as natural as possible. She lightly knocked on the countertop of the shop and said in a gentle voice: "Boss, here are five meat buns."

The boss looked up at her, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes. She looked at Jiang Qingchen carefully, as if trying to identify whether she was the person in the portrait.

Jiang Qingchen's heart tightened, but she tried to stay calm and not let her emotions show.

At this moment, a group of officers came over and scanned the passing crowd with vigilant eyes. Jiang Qingchen's heart sank, he didn't have much time. She must find a way to get the meat buns as soon as possible and get out of here.

Thinking quickly in her mind, she quickly picked up the meat buns on the table and stuffed them into her arms.

"You..." The boss exclaimed and was about to shout, but Jiang Qingchen blocked the acupuncture point with a silver needle.
