The driver unloaded the horse from the cart and rode away directly.

"Princess, why don't you go sit in the house first, it's cold outside." Azhu advised Su Changle.

Su Changle shook her head. She was really tired from carrying the air all the time. She quietly said to Ah Zhu: "Fortunately, I wore thicker clothes today, otherwise I would have been cold."

Azhu praised a little: "She must be the princess."

Just as Su Changle came in, all the maids and servants inside heard the commotion, dropped what they were doing, ran over and knelt in front of Su Changle.

Soon a lot of people gathered in front of Su Changle.

Su Changle felt a little headache looking at the people kneeling on the ground. She said in a high voice: "Since everyone is dead, I will ask again, have you seen Jiang Shen?"

Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.

Su Changle knew that he couldn't get anything out of their mouths.

Maybe they were the ones hiding the person!

She calculated the distance and realized that even if the coachman drove back quickly and came back, it would still take some time.

You can't just stand and wait at the door, right?

Su Changle was a little anxious: she had a hunch that Jiang Shen was here now.

"Ah Zhu, wait here, I'll go in and take a look." Su Changle told Ah Zhu.

Azhu was a little worried: "Princess, please be careful."

"Yeah, I know. If people arrive, just let them search. If you need anything, ask Xu Luo to come to me."

"yes."

--

Su Changle remembered that he had been to Qinzhu Yayuan once before.

But it was still summer at that time, and Su Changle came here with a group of noble ladies from Jinling to have fun and escape the summer heat. At that time, the bamboo forest behind was very lush, and it rustled when the wind blew.

It's completely different from the desolate look now.

In winter, it gets dark early. If we wait for people to come over, it might get dark later.

Su Changle followed his memory and walked around Qinzhu Yayuan. The courtyard was not big in the first place, but there was a bamboo forest behind it, which made it look bigger.

Normally no one comes here in winter. Su Changle looked at the traces and could clearly tell where Xu Luo and the others were "appreciating" the past two days.

Su Changle himself walked back and forth twice to places where people might appear, but he didn't see any trace of Jiang Shen.

Su Changle muttered: "It must not be in such an obvious place, otherwise those people would not dare to lie blatantly."

Su Changle thought about it and went to a more remote place to search.

"Huh?" Su Changle walked randomly, and finally walked towards the kitchen.

Normally Su Changle would never have been able to get close to this place.

But now, no matter where it is, Su Changle wants to go and take a look.

Sure enough, as soon as he arrived at this place, Su Changle felt something was wrong.

She looked at a door leading to the underground and walked over by mistake: "Is this an ice cellar?"

Su Changle always likes to go to the ice cellar in the mansion in the summer, but now it is the middle of winter. No one should be using this ice cellar. Why is the door here open?

Su Changle frowned: No way! Xu Luo and the others wouldn't be such jerks!

Su Changle knelt down, put down the heater in his hand, and lifted the Xuxu lid on the ice cellar.

"Jiang Shen, Jiang Shen!"

--

Jiang Shen has been in this ice cellar for more than a day.

When he received the invitation that day, he knew that it was probably a Hongmen Banquet.

So when he was "dazed" and thrown into the ice cellar, he was not surprised at all.

According to his estimate of the "good stuff" in the tea, it would be enough for a normal person to sleep for two days.

While he was thinking about who wanted to harm him, he also wanted to see if they really wanted him to die.

After all, he didn't die that easily.

until--

"Jiang Shen, Jiang Shen!"

Jiang Shen opened his eyes slightly and listened to the voice coming from above.

He raised the corners of his lips: It's Su Changle.

He thought for a while and finally made some noise.

--

"Boom, boom."

Su Changle, who had been listening carefully to the sounds inside, suddenly heard the sound. The sound came from underneath the cellar.

Jiang Shen must be down there.

"These bastards!" Su Changle cursed in a low voice. She really didn't expect that they would lock people in an ice cellar.

Jiang Shen was not in good health to begin with, and he would suffer a serious illness even if he was locked up like this.

And he doesn’t have a cotton coat yet!

This group of people!

These bastards!

"Jiang Shen, wait a minute, I'll go down to find you right away!" Su Changle said, lifting up her skirt and using all her strength to lift the lid.

A passage with room for only one person was revealed.

A wave of cold air hit my face.

The ice cellar was not only cold, but also dark.

Su Changle was actually a little afraid of the dark, but when she thought that Jiang Shen was still down there, she couldn't care less.

She didn't have a candle in her hand, so she could only stretch her little feet and feel down bit by bit.

The ice cellar was already dug deep, and it took a lot of effort for Su Changle to reach the bottom.

She squinted her eyes and slowly adapted to the environment underneath by relying on the faint light coming from the hole.

When Su Changle completely adapted to the darkness, he saw Jiang Shen unconscious in the corner.

Su Changle ran over. She first checked Jiang Shen's breathing and felt relieved when she found that he was still breathing. Then she shook him and shouted softly: "Jiang Shen, Jiang Shen, are you okay?"

Jiang Shen half-opened his eyes weakly: "...Princess Princess, why are you here?"

He glanced at the side with difficulty: "Where is this?"

"This is the ice cellar, you were tricked by those bastards!" Su Changle said, and was about to help Jiang Shen up, but now Jiang Shen has no strength in his whole body, and Su Changle can't help him, and finally he is exhausted.

Panting, he also sat on the ground.

"Princess, please rest."

Jiang Shen leaned against the wall and looked at the little girl who was struggling to lift herself up.

Su Changle originally wanted to try again, but now, she looked at herself...

"I'm sorry, I don't have the strength." Su Changle apologized to Jiang Shen.

"How can you blame the princess for this?" Jiang Shen closed his eyes and squinted, "Princess, don't worry, the cellar is big and can't hold us in for the time being."

"Well, let's wait." Su Changle said, looking at the cloak wrapped around her body, she raised her hand, took off the cloak and covered Jiang Shen.

She replied with a silly smile: "Jiang Shen, you see, I am very smart today, I came out wearing thick clothes!"

Jiang Shen raised his eyes and saw Su Changle taking off his cloak and covering him up. His whole body instantly felt much warmer.

only……

"Did the princess bring some cakes?" Jiang Shen suddenly asked.

"No, why do you ask that?" Su Changle took off her cloak. No matter how thickly she wore it, she was still a little cold, and she quietly leaned against Jiang Shen.

"I just feel like it has a sweet smell."

Su Changle listened and said with a smile: "Jiang Shen, you must be hungry and confused. There is no ice or cakes in this ice cellar, only soil. I only smell an earthy smell."

Jiang Shen said nothing, only shook his head and smelled it carefully.

That's right, it's sweet.

--

In fact, when Su Changle went down to the cellar, the guards brought by the coachman had already arrived.

So before Su Changle and Jiang Shen could say a few words, a voice called Su Changle came from above the ice cellar.

Su Changle stood up and shouted: "My princess is here, and Jiang Shen is here too!"

Ah Zhu listened to Su Changle's voice and quickly called people over.

The people above came down with candles. Su Changle was brought up first, and then Jiang Shen was also helped up.
