She was wrong.

She was really wrong.

How could a tyrant like Xiang Xuanhai be a master who could be easily conquered?

The price of despising him was that not only did his favorability return to a pitiful level, but Yingqian himself was also pushed into the underground palace where the captives were kept.

It was dark all around.

There is a foul smell floating in the air.

There were desperate cries in my ears.

It adds a bit of gloominess to the already eerie atmosphere.

Ying Qian leaned in the corner and closed his eyes to rest.

In the current situation, it is difficult to see Xiang Xuanhai again, let alone plan a strategy.

I need to come up with an idea...

"Princess, is that you? Are you still alive? This slave is really scared to death!"

The woman's hoarse voice suddenly rang in my ears.

Ying Qian opened her eyes and saw a dirty round face very close up.

She was startled.

He almost gave me a slap in the face.

"Who are you..."

"This slave is a peach blossom!"

The round-faced girl sniffed, but tears still rolled down her face, leaving a clear mark on her dirty cheeks.

She rubbed her eyes and said aggrievedly:

"I went to inform the princess before, but then I seemed to have fainted for some reason. When I woke up again, I was already here."

Yingqian suddenly realized.

It turns out that this is the little girl she met when she first came to this world, who was not very bright.

She sighed, pinched Taohua's face, and said with emotion:

“Look at this face, it’s lost a lot of weight, but it’s still so round!”

"My slave thought something had happened to the princess!"

Taohua twitched, holding Yingqian's hand, and the tears fell more fiercely,

"Those people in Longyou Kingdom are so cruel. They killed many people, including Xiao Lianzi, Biyun, and the Sixth Prince Xiangui... They were all killed!"

She had seen too much blood in the past few days.

A heart has never been at peace.

It wasn't until I met Yingqian that I finally found a backbone and could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"It's okay."

Yingqian patted her hand.

But I don't know how to comfort Taohua.

Beiyan was destroyed by Long You and its territory was invaded. All the eunuchs, maids, princes and nobles became prisoners.

At this time, these people trapped in the underground palace are still alive, but they are like walking zombies.

Yingqian sighed secretly, and seeing Taohua still twitching and flirting, she comforted her softly:

"Don't be afraid, I'm here and nothing will happen to you."

Taohua stared blankly at Yingqian for a while.

The tears fell even more fiercely.

"Princess..."

She threw herself into Ying Qian's arms, rubbing her into a mixture of dust and tears.

"My slave has not fallen asleep in the past few days. I have been worried all the time, thinking that if the princess really dies, my slave will also die..."

"You are so young, no matter how you open or close your mouth, you will risk your life or death."

Yingqian patted her back gently, suddenly straightened her expression and said solemnly:

"Peach Blossom, from now on, don't ever call me princess again."

"Why?"

"This is not a palace. If you attract too much attention, you will die."

Taohua doesn't quite understand this.

But Yingqian said she would just do it.

"Understood, miss."

"clever."

Taohua's face turned red when she praised her. She pursed her lips and smiled, and when she was about to say something else, she suddenly heard the sound of rapid footsteps.

The underground palace suddenly became quiet.

Immediately afterwards, panicked sobbing came from the crowd.

Taohua shrank, tightened Yingqian's sleeves, and whispered:

"Those people came again, and every time, none of the people they took away came back."

Ying Qian frowned.

It seems like I remembered something.

She heard footsteps stopping nearby, and the people who came here seemed to be looking for someone in the crowd.

Yingqian pushed Peach Blossom away, hid her in a deeper corner, and whispered:

"Don't worry, nothing will happen to me. You hide here and don't come out..."

She hasn't finished speaking yet.

Soldiers wearing pitch-black armor had already arrived.

When he saw Ying Qian, without saying a word, he opened the lock of the prison and shouted to her:

"come out!"

Yingqian stood up.

Take your time and pat the dirt off your skirt.

With that casual expression, it was as if the place he was going to was not a fatal guillotine, but a grand banquet.

The soldiers who saw it were a little surprised.

Just as Yingqian was about to step out of the prison, Taohua suddenly stumbled to her side.

"Ms. sir! I'll go with you, slave!"

She was scared to death.

Both legs were trembling.

He almost didn't even remember Yingqian's instructions.

But even so.

However, she still didn't care about her life and chose to follow Yingqian.

"You..."

Ying Qian sighed.

This time Taohua suddenly came forward and was discovered. Even if she wanted to protect her, it was impossible.

really.

The soldier sneered, his mocking gaze swept over Peach Blossom, and said:

"There are actually people who actively want to die, so let's do it together!"

Taohua pursed her lips.

He tightened Yingqian's cuffs.

In addition to them, the soldiers took away many people, including men, women, old and young, but all of them had unkempt hair and dirty looks on their faces, and it was difficult to distinguish their appearance.

The soldiers took them to an open space.

Ahead is a temporary high platform.
