The two maids, as if they had been granted amnesty, hurriedly picked up their tools and left.
Xiao Lingyue stood there for a while, then turned back to the room, took the clothes of the two children, and went to the bathroom.
After the two children were washed and put on dry clothes, Xiao Lingyue accompanied them to dinner, rested for a while, and then it was time to go to bed.
"Don't make trouble tonight and go to bed early." Xiao Lingyue drove the two children back to her room and warned them.
Xiao Lingyue had indulged Hanhan because he had not fully recovered from his injuries. He wanted to sleep with Beibei, but she did not stop him. Who knew that two children would refuse to sleep obediently when they were together, and they had to stay up every day?
Very late.
Xiao Lingyue was worried that they were exhausted, so she refused to allow them to sleep together and hurried back to their rooms.
After both children are settled properly.
Xiao Lingyue also went back to the room and closed the doors and windows.
After a while, the candlelight in the room went out, as if the owner had fallen asleep.
The night wind blew, and the leaves in the courtyard rustled. The windows opened quietly, and a slender black figure silently rolled out of the window.
Xiao Lingyue rolled up her long hair, put on low-key clothes, covered her face with a scarf, and quietly walked towards the west garden.
She was very familiar with the terrain of Prince Yi's Mansion, and she skillfully avoided the patrolling guards she met along the way without alerting anyone.
Soon, the garden on the west side arrived.
There are four gardens in Prince Yi's Mansion, scattered in the east, south, west and north corners.
Among them, the southern garden is the largest and is connected to the artificial lake. It is where Xiao Lingyue often takes her two children to play.
The garden on the west side was the smallest in area and the scenery was average. It was also in the deepest part of Prince Yi's palace, and she had never been there before.
Hearing the two maids saying that the west garden was haunted, with screams and blood stains, Xiao Lingyue immediately guessed what was going on.
It's not a ghost.
It is the secret prison of Prince Yi's Mansion, which is hidden in the garden to the west.
The so-called screams in the middle of the night, blood stains on the grass, and drag marks...
It should have been caused by Zhan Beihan's soldiers escorting the prisoners in the middle of the night, or by torture and interrogation.
Ordinary servants didn't know the inside story. When they heard the screams of prisoners coming from the secret cell in the middle of the night and couldn't see anyone, they mistakenly thought it was haunted.
The maid then said that the "haunting" rumors started the year before last.
This time is very special.
If she remembered correctly, the only major event that happened the year before last was that Prince Nanyang sent spies to sneak into the capital, posing as beauties from the draft, and preparing to carry out a honey trap against Emperor Zhaoming.
In the end, his success failed and he was caught by Zhan Beihan.
The beauty committed suicide on the spot, and the capital of the Northern Qin Dynasty was under martial law. The whole court was investigated for a whole year.
There were countless people implicated in this matter, most of whom were directly killed, while a small number of people whose identities were questionable disappeared without a trace.
At that time, Xiao Lingyue was taking Beibei into hiding. While taking care of Beibei, she had also been paying attention to the situation of Nanyan and Beiqin. After learning that someone had disappeared mysteriously, she guessed that those people were probably
Someone related to Nan Yan disappeared after being captured by Zhan Beihan.
More than a year later, she originally thought that those people were dead, but she did not expect that from the "haunted" incident mentioned by the maid, it seemed that there were still people being imprisoned in the secret prison of Prince Yi's Mansion...
Xiao Lingyue thought for a long time and decided to investigate.
She was from Nanyan in her previous life and grew up in Nanyan since she was a child. All her former relatives and friends stayed in Nanyan.
Although she was "dead" and was killed by the Crown Prince of Nanyan himself, and it was absolutely impossible for her to go back, Xiao Lingyue was so passionate that she still couldn't let go of her former relatives and friends. Popular 『』 This chapter has been completed!
