Walking in the huge palace.
The dim lights swayed on both sides of the corridor, combined with the dark night and high wind, giving people a deep and cold horror illusion.
The cat rises.
Xuanyuan Qiong moved forward cautiously, it could be said that her ears were listening in all directions and her eyes were watching six directions.
these days.
She would wander around the palace whenever she had free time, and had almost visited all the wings in the palace.
He even went to the "Zong Renyuan" where he was imprisoned back then, in order to find Lin'er's whereabouts.
Good thing.
The late emperor had just died of illness, and the new emperor was about to ascend the throne.
This also caused most of the garrison forces in the palace to be dispatched near the Shangshu room, which gave Xuanyuan Qiong this great opportunity.
"Where on earth is it?!"
He frowned.
Xuanyuan Qiong's pace involuntarily quickened a little, and she couldn't help but whisper softly: "I have searched almost all the harem and side halls, and there is no trace of Lin'er at all..."
"Where is she?!"
Even though I felt a moment of despair.
Xuanyuan Qiong's steps did not stop, and she was still looking for them one by one in the palace rooms.
Finally, in a corner at the end of the corridor, two maids just walked out of a dark side room.
He was suddenly startled.
Xuanyuan Qiong hurriedly hid on the side of the corner. The skills she had acquired from hunting in the forest for many years were finally put to use. It was not difficult for her to hide her figure and aura.
"Oh, it's so hard to take care of..."
One of the maids was holding the dinner plate and couldn't help complaining: "I don't know why the palace keeps such idle people. On weekdays, one doesn't eat and the other doesn't drink. It's hard for us to be servants."
"Shh, keep your voice down."
He quickly closed the door gently.
Another maid looked around and saw that there was no one around, so she warned softly: "I have been told by the superiors that this girl has a special origin. Although no one pays attention to her now, I guarantee that one day His Majesty will think of her, so no matter what We have to hang on to her life no matter what, and we must not starve to death of thirst..."
As soon as these words came out.
Xuanyuan Qiong, who was hiding in the corner, immediately widened his eyes.
From the chat between these two people, it is not difficult to tell that the person living in this inconspicuous wing is probably Lin'er!
"What bad luck!"
Rolled his eyes.
The impatient maid stabilized the tray and complained as she walked: "Why do we have to do such a bad job..."
The two servants chatted without saying a word, and gradually left the door of the wing. They didn't notice anyone hiding in the dark at all.
After a while.
After repeatedly confirming that there was no one else around, Xuanyuan Qiong plucked up the courage and sprinted towards the door of the wing.
Narrow your eyes.
Xuanyuan Qiong reached out and touched the door. With a creaking sound, the door to the wing was not locked at all, and was pushed open so easily on the spot.
"who?"
In the dark room, it can be said that you can't see anything.
A soft and familiar whisper suddenly came to my ears.
"I've already told you that I don't want to eat today. If you really feel embarrassed, just leave it in the room..."
Stunned in front of the door.
Xuanyuan Qiong's eyes widened, and his whole body trembled inexplicably with excitement.
This voice was too familiar to her.
Besides Lin'er, who grew up with him, who else could it be?
"Lin'er..." Xuanyuan Qiong called.
Dang rang~~
In the dark room, there was a sudden sound of metal chains colliding.
A long time passed.
The weak voice responded, and her tone was also full of disbelief.
"Yes, is it Qiong'er?"
Two lines of tears burst out of my eyes.
Many childhood memories came to mind, and Xuanyuan Qiong burst into tears immediately, and quickly raised her hands to cover her face, fearing that her crying would attract other people's attention.
Perhaps he heard intermittent sobbing.
In a dark room.
A slender body jumped off the bed, but accidentally fell to the floor.
"Qiong'er...is it really you?!"
"Yes, it's me."
He rushed into the wing without hesitation.
Xuanyuan Qiong also rolled around and threw herself next to the girl on the bed.
"Lin'er, after three years, I finally found you..."
In the darkness, two lonely and desperate girls hugged each other.
Although you can't see the other person's appearance clearly, some things will not change at all even if ten or even a hundred years have passed.
For example, a person's breath and taste...
"Qiong'er, you are finally here..."
Feeling the trembling of the girl in my arms.
Xuanyuan Qiong gritted her teeth and took advantage of the moonlight outside the door to take a closer look at this ill-fated girl.
Skinny as a stick, weak as a stick.
Although Lin'er used to be introverted, she was at least sunny and lively.
But the girl in front of her was dressed in filth, and her ankles were tied with heavy chains that extended to the cold metal bed behind her.
"Lin'er, why..."
Lin'er looked at the frail Lin'er with horror on her face.
While Xuanyuan Qiong was shocked, she was already out of anger. She shouted in a deep voice: "Why do they treat you like this? Who is it? Who put the chains on you!?"
Hear the words.
Lin'er in front of her finally reacted and quickly reminded: "Qiong'er, hurry up, close the door..."
He couldn't help but feel resentful.
Fortunately, Xuanyuan Qiong was not carried away by anger. She only looked at this posture and the regent's reminder before the union.
it's easy to see.
There is indeed some secret in Lin'er, which is very important to the Xuanyuan royal family and even the entire Daxia Empire.
Otherwise, there would have been no need to subject a defenseless little girl to such an almost perverse form of imprisonment.
There was no hesitation.
Xuanyuan Qiong immediately stood up, turned around and gently closed the door, and then said without thinking: "Lin'er, I'll take you out of here!"
"Stop talking nonsense."
His face was bloodless.
Lin'er smiled bitterly, grabbed the iron rope at her feet, shook her head and said: "These things are not ordinary iron chains, they contain a large amount of magnetic gold extract, and even the night watchman cannot cut them off in a short time. .....”
There was a pause.
Lin'er raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corner of her eyes, forced a smile and said, "I'm very happy to see you again."
He was suddenly stunned on the spot.
Looking at the frail girl in front of me, God knows what she has been through in the past three years.
"Are you kidding..."
Evil comes from courage.
Xuanyuan Qiong was very angry. He looked around for a long time and finally found a metal candlestick on the table.
Pick it up sharply.
Xuanyuan Qiong's eyes widened with anger, and he shouted: "Stand back, and I will help you break this damn chain!"
