The mistress died of overwork, and after rebirth, she was bad at raising her cubs

Deeper and more exposed.

It was already late autumn, and with the night deepening, the temperature was frighteningly low.

Fortunately, National Master Yun Yan had made arrangements, so the journey was smooth and no guards were encountered.

"The east gate is just ahead. My people are waiting there."

National Master Yun Yan pointed to the east door in front and spoke.

Shen Qinglan nodded, and when the group was about to step forward, Brother Yan suddenly spoke:

"wrong."

"what happened?"

Brother Yan was a man of few words. He had already stopped walking and said:

"Look at their knives."

The mole was stunned for a moment, then asked curiously, "What happened to the knife?"

"The sword is unsheathed." Brother Yan said, and then continued to explain:

"It means they intend to kill someone."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expression changed and they all looked at National Master Yun Yan.

National Master Yun Yan was also slightly startled, and looked towards the east door. He was silent for a while and said:

"It's true that he is not mine anymore."

It seems that the Queen already knows something and has dealt with all of Master Yun Yan's men, waiting for them to step forward and fall into the tiger's mouth.

"What should we do? Break out?" Brother Yan had already raised the double axes in his hands and looked at Shen Qinglan and asked.

"Do not."

They are outnumbered and will definitely not be able to win in a head-on fight. What's more, she and National Master Yun Yan do not have much ability to protect themselves. If a fight breaks out, Brother Yan and Di Shu will have to keep an eye on them, so they will definitely be restricted.

"What should we do then?" The mole was a little anxious.

At this moment, no matter how powerful he is, he can't dig a hole to escape!

There really isn't enough time.

If it weren't for the palace of National Master Yun Yan as a transit point today, he would not have been able to dig into Shen Qinglan in one night.

Shen Qinglan took a deep breath, and after thinking frantically for a while, he said:

"Go through Donghua Gate!"

"Donghuamen?"

Although everyone didn't know what Shen Qinglan meant, they didn't doubt it and hurriedly followed him.

Soon, the group arrived not far from Donghuamen.

Shen Qinglan heard Gu Changqing mention that there was a man of his here in Donghuamen, named Xiao Huazi.

Xiao Huazi was born at a very early age. He was a little eunuch with a big black mole on his cheek.

Shen Qinglan saw this little Huazi at first sight.

Xiao Huazi's voice was a little sharp. He should be the steward here, and he was giving orders to the guards:

"Everyone, be alert. Don't let any cats or dogs in here. You know the current situation. If anything goes wrong, I'm afraid everyone's lives will be in danger. Do you hear me?"

"Yes!"

The guards responded in unison, and Xiao Huazi expressed his satisfaction. Then he walked back with his hands behind his back, intending to go to the toilet.

As Xiao Huazi reached the corner, Brother Yan covered his mouth and nose with a hand and pulled him to Shen Qinglan.

Xiao Huazi was so frightened that he struggled non-stop, as if he wanted to ask for help, but Shen Qinglan smiled and said:

"Eunuch Xiao Huazi, don't be nervous. Take a look at this."

Shen Qinglan's voice was gentle, and seemed to have a calming effect. Xiao Huazi stopped struggling and looked at Shen Qinglan with some curiosity as she took out the token that Gu Changqing had given her.

Xiao Huazi recognized the token at a glance. He immediately widened his eyes and looked at Shen Qinglan, and patted Brother Yan's hand gently as a gesture.

Seeing this, Shen Qinglan asked, "Eunuch Xiao Huazi, this is an emergency, please don't shout. How about I explain it to you?"

Xiao Huazi nodded repeatedly, but looked at Shen Qinglan with shining eyes.

Shen Qinglan signaled to Brother Yan to let go, but Brother Yan continued to stare at him carefully, as if he would kill him with a knife if Xiao Huazi dared to make a sound.

Fortunately, Xiao Huazi did not shout, but directly asked Shen Qinglan: "Are you, Princess Zhan?"

"It's me." Shen Qinglan nodded.

"It turned out to be Junior Master! You scared me to death! Why are you in the palace so late at night?"

Xiao Huazi breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest, and then looked at Shen Qinglan with curiosity.

Without waiting for Shen Qinglan to explain, Xiao Huazi suddenly seemed to have thought of something and quickly lowered his voice and said:

"Uncle Junior Master, could it be that His Majesty has locked you up in the palace on purpose as a hostage to threaten the War King?"

Shen Qinglan was a little amused, but Xiao Huazi guessed it was almost right. The person who wanted to lock her up so that he could threaten Huo Zhanting was not the emperor, but the queen.

However, Shen Qinglan did not explain, but just asked: "Why do you call me Junior Master Uncle?"

Xiao Huazi immediately smiled and explained embarrassedly:

"When I first entered the palace, I was castrated and nearly died from an infection. It was my master who saved my life and taught me some skills."

"My master told me before that if I see someone holding his token, that person must be my junior uncle. No matter what my junior uncle asks me to do, I must do my best to help."

Xiao Huazi asked himself that although he was a eunuch, he was a man who repaid kindness.

Besides, he has had no chance to repay his master over the years, but now that his junior uncle is in trouble, helping him can be considered as repaying his master's kindness, right?

After Shen Qinglan confirmed the relationship between Xiao Huazi and Gu Changqing, he immediately felt relieved and said solemnly:

"Xiao Huazi, there is a major event that concerns the people of Dayong. I must leave the palace."

Xiao Huazi looked at Shen Qinglan's serious expression and inexplicably felt as if he was carrying a heavy burden. He immediately straightened his spine and said:

"Don't worry, Junior Master! I will find a way to help you leave the palace right away!"

Xiao Huazi thought of a solution quickly, but when Shen Qinglan looked at the toilet, a hint of helplessness appeared on his usually calm face.

"Do you really have to do this?"

Xiao Huazi listened to Shen Qinglan's words, glanced at Shen Qinglan and National Master Yun Yan, and couldn't help but said:

"Little Master and the Imperial Master look like gods. They don't look like gods no matter if they are dressed as palace maids or eunuchs, so it's better to hide them and not let others see them."

When Di Shu and Yan Ge heard what Xiao Huazi said, the corners of their mouths twitched slightly.

My goodness, they were still glad that they were just dressed up as eunuchs and didn't have to lie under the toilet, but now after listening to Xiao Huazi's words, they realized that it was their appearance that didn't match them?

Shen Qinglan didn't act pretentiously. He simply turned over and lay down in the partition below. Then he glanced at National Master Yun Yan and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

She herself didn't mind, but she wanted Master Yun Yan, a god-like figure who was not tainted by the world, to hide under the toilet with her?

That seemed a bit blasphemous.

However, National Master Yun Yan did not show any sign of frowning from beginning to end. He just nodded slightly at her and then lay down directly under another toilet.

Shen Qinglan looked at the toilet above her, which was covered with real filthy things. The stench hit her so much that she could only cover her mouth and nose and endure the discomfort.

It was pitch black all around, and I couldn't see any light even when I stretched out my hand.

The darker it is, the more distinct your other senses become.

Shen Qinglan felt the car being pushed forward, swaying. Along with the sound of wheels rolling and footsteps, Shen Qinglan held his breath and dared not make a sound.
