Mu Huaijin's intuition, or rather - speculation, was right.

After Mu Huaijin left that day, Chen Yuansi used the thin wire to pry open the lock and took the opportunity to knock the jailer unconscious and escape.

However, they didn't realize at first that apart from Chen Yuansi, there was one person missing in the imperial prison.

That day, when Chen Yuansi knocked out the jailer, he didn't go straight to the gate of the imperial prison, but in the opposite direction - the bottom of the imperial prison.

He went to meet the eldest princess An Linghua.

This is what Chen Xiang told him.

The previous generation of the Chen family had a secret. Chen Xiang's grandfather and father, the two of them, back then were not the current Emperor Yuan Xu, but Gu Yu, the eldest princess's child.

The two generations above the Chen family knew very well that the court was dangerous. When the late emperor left, Emperor Yuanxu was already the crown prince. Everyone knew that Emperor Yuanxu would inherit the throne.

But behind the scenes, the Chen family didn't want it to be him. They hoped that the one who could ascend to the throne was Gu Yu at that time—a simple-minded emperor who was suitable to be a puppet.

The Chen family supported Emperor Yuan Xu on the surface, but in fact, they quietly helped Gu Yu behind his back.

An Linghua and An Chengyu had a very good relationship when they were young, and they were almost inseparable. When An Chengyu ascended the throne as Emperor Yuanxu, An Linghua also sincerely blessed him.But later, as a mother, she still loved her children more than the so-called family affection.

Bewitched by the Chen family, Gu Yu developed an ambition to fight for the throne.After An Linghua knew about this, Gu Yu was deeply involved in power, and even did something irreversible.Once exposed, even if he is the eldest princess's child, he cannot escape the responsibility.

An Linghua still shielded Gu Yu.

One step wrong, step by step wrong.

In the end, Gu Yu failed to seize the throne, was discovered by Emperor Yuan Xu, and was secretly executed on a rainy night.

From then on, An Linghua hated An Chengyu very much.And An Chengyu, because he and An Linghua grew up together, he knew that as an emperor, he must not leave hidden dangers around him, so he sent An Linghua to the bottom of the prison.

This level is more than 20 years.

These are what Chen Tong and Chen Yuansi said.

Chen Xiang was imprisoned not far from Chen Yuansi. When Mu Huaijin came to find Chen Yuansi, he could actually hear a little bit of what they said as long as he stuck to the ground.

When he heard the Panlong Yupei appeared on Chen Yuansi's body, he knew that the Chen family was really doomed this time.

The word "Eldest Princess" is a taboo of Emperor Yuanxu.

Since Emperor Yuanxu had just become emperor, many things were still a bit unfamiliar. After a little guidance, the Chen family was not found in the end.

After the secret of the Chen family's support for Gu Yu reached Chen Xiang, he chose not to talk about it with Chen Yuansi, in order to avoid complications.

Ben intended to keep this secret forever in his mouth.But now, the emperor will not let the Chen family go easily.

So when he saw Chen Yuansi breaking open the prison lock and standing in front of him, Chen Xiang chose to tell him everything he knew.

The eldest princess knew what Emperor Yuan Xu was most afraid of. She hated Emperor Yuan Xu. As long as she went out, she would have a chance to save the Chen family.

The bottom floor of the imperial prison was dim, and the appearance of the visitor could not be seen clearly. An Linghua staggered a few times, stood up, and walked slowly towards the person who might rescue her.

Chen Yuansi clenched his fingers.

The chain dragged on the ground, making harsh noises, like a walking dead, lifeless.

"coming?"

From the voice of the person on the opposite side, you can hear the joy of eating and suppressing it, as if the Maemi has been lurking in the ground for three years, finally waiting to break the ground and accept the short day of summer sunshine.

Chen Yuansi was puzzled by her words.

Did she know that someone would come to rescue her?

In a short period of time, Chen Yuansi didn't care about so much at all. He wasted a lot of time just listening to Chen Xiang talk about what happened back then. Now, since he is sure that the person inside is the eldest princess, he will rescue her first.

After going out, An Linghua couldn't adapt to the light outside due to being in the dark environment all year round, so Chen Yuansi had no choice but to wrap her face with a robe and lead her out.

It wasn't until the two of them came to a remote and uninhabited corner and took off their outer robes that Chen Yuansi finally saw the face of the eldest princess.

In his 40s, he looks...but he seems to be ten years older, and even his temples are gray.

But it can still be vaguely seen from this face that the blood relationship between the eldest princess and Emperor Yuanxu is true.

Their eyes are the same.

No matter what difficulties you face, there will be an arrogance that will not admit defeat revealed from the eyes.

It seems that all living beings in the world should have surrendered and bowed down under the aura of the king.

Although Chen Yuansi saved An Linghua, he didn't know whether this person was a good friend or not.

On her face, apart from some faintly visible fine lines, the most conspicuous thing is the word "servant" on her face.

In Daqi, there was no so-called slave. The word "slave" was imprinted on the face, which was handed down from the previous dynasty or even earlier, and it was called "tattoo punishment".As far as Daqi is concerned, the significance of this punishment is more of an insult.

The people who were stamped with the word "slave" were the most heinous people in Daqi, and this punishment would accompany them for the rest of their lives. No matter where they went, they would be feared and cast aside by the world.

An Linghua looked at the stunned young man in front of him, and immediately remembered who he was, "Are you... a child of the Chen family?"

To Chen Yuansi's ears, her voice sounded a little excited, and her emotions seemed to be agitated.

Perhaps he had just been released from prison and hadn't fully recovered yet. Chen Yuansi nodded, "Eldest Princess..."

"Take me to An Chengyu quickly!" Before Chen Yuansi could finish speaking, An Linghua's roar broke through, and she seemed to have returned to the state of madness in the prison.

"Hurry up! Hurry up!" An Linghua held Chen Yuansi's hand tightly. His nails had not been trimmed all year round and were sharp, deeply embedded in Chen Yuansi's wrist.

Chen Yuansi was in pain, but he didn't expect that An Linghua's strength was so great. In the end, it took nearly [-]% of his strength to pull An Linghua away.

"You can't go to him now." Chen Yuansi glanced at the bloody hand, and said coldly to the lunatic, "Eldest Princess, if you do this again, you won't be afraid of being imprisoned by An Chengyu again just like you were back then." prison?"

He dared to use "An Chengyu". If others listened to him, he must have fulfilled his intention of treason, but this title fell to An Linghua's ears, and it was more like a declaration of alliance.

As if to tell her that he also hated An Chengyu very much, just like her, he didn't take this person seriously at all.

Chen Yuansi couldn't see what kind of person An Linghua was, but felt that her words and deeds were much larger than ordinary people's.

Like, not a normal person.

But right now, after Emperor Yuan Xu learned of his escape, he would definitely order a search in the palace. He could only suppress this doubt first, and have a consistent goal with the eldest princess.

"Little baby of the Chen family, do you want me to listen to you now?" An Linghua had disdain in his eyes, not all trust.

Chen Yuansi said in a low voice, and only half-spoken: "The eldest princess can decide for herself."

When he said this, the expression in his eyes was calm and unimaginably steady, which moved An Linghua for a moment.

Although she is said to be the eldest princess of Daqi, but more than 20 years have passed since then, there are probably not many people who really know her existence.

What's more, with her current appearance...without anyone's help, there must be nothing she can do.

"I believe you this time." An Linghua responded first, but she knew very well in her heart that she couldn't fully trust the person in front of her, she just used them.

Between them, it is just an alliance relationship of mutual use.

Hearing her agreement, Chen Yuansi raised an uncontrollable smile and his eyes sank.

"Very good," he said.

The news of Chen Yuansi's escape from prison spread to Pingqing Palace, and after Shu Yao heard about it, she immediately went to find Mu Huaijin.

Here, Mu Huaijin received the expected news one step ahead of Shu Yao, and when she saw Shu Yao hurriedly running towards her, she knew what she was worried about.

"The son ran away. In Daqi, isn't this adding to the crime?" Shu Yao ran all the way, panting, and said intermittently: "He... isn't he afraid that the emperor will convict Chen Xiang?"

"..." Mu Huaijin was silent for a while, remembering what Chen Yuansi did in his previous life, and thought to himself, if a person like him puts power and relatives in front of him, then he will definitely choose to stab them—if In this way, he can get the words of power.

"I...Shu Yao is very disturbed..." Like Mu Huaijin, Shu Yao also remembered the original book, which said that the male protagonist finally knew the secrets of the royal family and finally became the new emperor.

The plot direction of many things has changed now, but it is also possible that the general direction of things has not changed - Chen Yuansi will become the emperor.

Shu Yao remembered that after Chen Yuansi became the emperor, the first order he gave was to have the guards kill Mu Huaijin.

Thousands of swords pierced the heart.

Obviously nothing happened, but as soon as Shu Yao thought about it, her heart beat non-stop, as if the person in front of her would really leave her in the next second.

Seeing Shu Yao's appearance, Mu Huaijin was taken aback for no reason.

Why are you crying again?

"What's the matter?" Mu Huaijin wiped away her tears and asked, "Princess, what's wrong with you recently?"

Shu Yao shook her head.

Mu Huaijin: "Then why do you always cry so much when you see me recently?"

"Obviously before, the princess liked to smile. I like to see the princess laughing the most. So princess, you should smile more."

Shu Ya didn't know why she kept crying.

Ever since she understood her intentions at the God Sacrifice Festival, she treated the person in front of her as the only one in the world.I want to give her all the good things.

Of course, he was also the last person who didn't want to see her in an accident.

In the book, Mu Huaijin is pierced by Wan Jian.

There is a high probability that Chen Yuansi will jump over the wall in a hurry to escape from prison.Shu Yao had no choice but to think about it, in case...Chen Yuansi still followed the direction of the original book...

Thinking of this, the more Shu Yao didn't want to cry, her eyes turned redder.

Mu Huaijin realized something was wrong, stretched out her hand to drag Shu Yao's face, lowered her head to look at her, and said softly, "Princess, tell me, what are you thinking?"

Shu Yao choked: "I...I..."

What is she going to say?

Said to tell Mu Huaijin to stay away from Chen Yuansi, and said that she would be pierced by Wan Jian in the future.

Said that Shu Yao...may also die.

The two of them may not be together in the end.

At that moment, Mu Huaijin had a thought in her heart that had disappeared in her mind for many years.

She suspected that Shu Yao was reborn like her before, but later she thought it was not, and later she thought it was not important.

But the last time he cried, the little fool didn't say anything to her, he just leaned in her arms and took her as his reliance.

It's like... a homeless wanderer who found her warm harbor, and since then, she has held on to it tightly, never wanting to let go.

Now, the little fool knew the news of Chen Yuansi's escape from prison, and the fear and fear revealed in those eyes made her feel a pang in her heart.

"Don't cry." Mu Huaijin knew that her guess might be false.

It is impossible for the little fool to be reborn like her.

If she is, she will definitely remember what she did in the previous life, and will not give her a candy the day she just entered the palace.

Nor would he specially come to say goodbye to her and say "I wish you peace" when she was about to set off.

Mu Huaijin forced herself to convince herself, but she was also afraid that her previous guess was right.

She picked up the broken hair from Shu Yao's ear, put it behind her ear, bent down, and rubbed it lightly.

"Stop crying, little fool."

"Don't worry, I will protect you."

If you really remember what happened in your last life, then I will definitely not let you be locked in that house full of fire again.

Nor will it disappear in front of you.

"Don't forget, our promise."

Mu Huaijin will always protect the princess.

And the princess will always love Mu Huaijin.

They will be together forever.
