It was getting dark. Xiao Cui stood at the door and knocked gently. He hesitated and said, "My dear, Yue Zhaoyi wants to see you."

Er Miao? Bai Yan slowly raised her head and looked out the window. It was at this point that she came back from Pei Lin. She turned out to be her.

"Let her in."

She was sitting up, pouring herself a cup of tea and sipping it slowly, just to see what her good cousin wanted to say.

Er Miao, who was at the door, heard her voice, raised the corners of his lips, quickly adjusted to a helpless and panic look, rushed in, and as soon as he saw her, he went up to hold her hand, "Sister!"

Bai Yan calmly took her hand out, "Yue Zhaoyi's rules are getting worse."

Er Miao's face stiffened for a moment, and she could only salute honestly, "Well, sister Xiaocui, please go down first. Sister and I have something to talk about."

"Xiaocui has been with me for more than ten years. Zhaoyi doesn't need to avoid her. She can't do such dirty things as poaching."

After hearing this, Xiaocui realized that her empress was no longer as affectionate to her as before. She coughed and stood firmly beside Bai Yan, as if to support her.

Er Miao always felt that there was something in her cousin's words, and she was criticizing Sang and Huai, but she didn't understand it after guessing for a long time, so she decided to talk about this important matter first.

She just learned about this last night and informed Mr. Pei early in the morning that any of the two choices placed in front of her cousin this time would be a dead end. Thinking of this, she was too lazy to vent her anger on her, why bother arguing with a dead person.

"Sister, do you still remember cousin Chengshu?"

Bai Yan frowned, Cousin Cheng Shu? This name sounds familiar, I can’t remember where I heard it.

"Cousin Cheng Shu has been friends with my sister since she was a child. How could she not remember it?" Seeing her frown, Er Miao added anxiously, she was not trying to act stupid.

Now Bai Yan remembered where she had heard this name. In the book, Chengshu and Erfu were close friends. They grew up together and had a close relationship. If they had not entered the palace, Erfu would have married Chengshu.

I just don't know why Er Miao suddenly mentioned this person, and she looked at him warily.

"Cousin Cheng Shu still misses my sister. Yesterday, my cousin risked his life to find me and said that he had a way to take my sister out of here!"

Bai Yan's eyes widened suddenly, and she looked at Xiao Cui who was also surprised. She never thought that such a thing would happen.

"My cousin has infiltrated the palace guards. He will be on duty tomorrow. If my sister wants to..."

"Why did he go to you instead of talking to me directly?"

"My cousin was worried that this matter would be dangerous, and also worried that my sister would not be willing to do it, so he specially discussed it with me. I can't make the decision for my sister, so I can only come over and report it to her. Only the three of us know about this matter, so I can rest assured that it will be absolutely safe."

Bai Yan calmed down, smiled casually, and fiddled with the side of the cup. Should she say that Er Miao was innocent, or should she say that Cheng Shu, who she had never met, was innocent. Even she knew that it was impossible to escape from this deep place easily.

Not to mention she is a queen.

"I have escaped, what will happen to your family?"

"Don't worry, sister. My cousin has already planned to replace my sister with a female corpse. Then the Queen will slip and fall into the water and die. My cousin has been preparing for a long time, and now he can speak in the Imperial Guard, so the opportunity will no longer be missed.

What is lost will never come back. If my sister is willing to go to the west corridor tomorrow, my cousin will be waiting there."

Did he slip and fall into the water and die? Bai Yan laughed and thought that the thought that immediately popped into his mind was what would happen to Pei Lin and would he be sad when he saw the fake corpse?

She sighed and pushed such thoughts out of her mind, "This opportunity is so good, why don't you, sister, leave this sea of ​​misery together?"

Er Miao lowered her head, looking sad and sentimental, "My cousin and sister are really enviable. My cousin has always liked my sister more since I was a child. This time I also promised Miaomiao to give me some gold and silver jewelry when she succeeds. Miaomiao is fine.

For great intentions, these are enough."

"Really?" Bai Yan stood up and faced the window, "Then I will give this good opportunity to my sister, Xiaocui to see her off."

"Yes," Xiaocui immediately shooed Ermiao away with a respectful look on her face. She had always felt that Yue Zhaoyi was not well-intentioned, and now she was using these words to seduce the empress.

"Sister?!" Ermiao didn't expect her to be unwilling, but she couldn't push it too hard. She stood up and saluted her back, "Sister, if you change your mind, my cousin will be waiting for you in the corridor tomorrow.

, he will not leave until he waits for his sister."

After sending Er Miao away, Xiaocui walked in again worriedly. She hesitated to speak, but Bai Yan turned around with a smile, "I'm hungry, I want to eat braised pork and something sweet, go quickly."

"

Xiaocui swallowed what she wanted to say and went to prepare dinner.

Bai Yan never mentioned this matter until she went to bed at night, and Xiao Cui had no chance to talk to her.

The sky outside was dark and a storm was brewing. Xiaocui said that it was going to rain tonight. When she said this, she kept looking at Bai Yan's face, hoping to see something from her face, but Bai Yan just said yes.

He shouted, smiling as usual.

But Xiaocui still felt that something was wrong. The empress did not go to Mr. Pei's place all day today, and she had no intention of going now.

Just after dinner, it really started raining outside. Big raindrops fell from the sky, falling to the ground with splashes of water.

Looking out the window, it is foggy outside, the sky is getting gloomier, the rain and thunder are roaring, and the howling wind outside can be clearly heard even in the house.

There was constant dripping in front of the eaves, and the dripping made Bai Yan upset. She frowned and placed the cup heavily on the table, trying to make some other noise to stop herself from concentrating on the sound of rain.

"Empress, um," Xiao Cui couldn't bear it any longer, "are you going?"

Her stumbling and cautious voice made Bai Yan raise her head.

To be honest, she hesitated.

This was in ancient times, when three wives and four concubines were very common. A virtuous wife would even take concubines for their husbands. This was the case in ordinary families, not to mention that for someone as powerful as Pei Lin, he could naturally get all the dreams in the world.

Favored by those who climb the dragon and the phoenix.

But after all, she is a person with modern thinking. She cannot share her lover with others, and she has no right to ask Pei Lin to devote himself to her. She has no way to change the deep-rooted thoughts.

He may be interested in her today, and he may be interested in someone else tomorrow.

So how should she, who has fallen out of favor, survive in the harem, begging for his love? Or should she be depressed?

In this case, why not take a gamble, leave here, and live a stable and peaceful life? Isn't this what she wants?

Her expression was unclear, and Xiao Cui was even more flustered. She knelt down and touched her instep with trembling hands, "Your Majesty, please think twice!"

"stand up."

Bai Yan didn't understand that making this decision meant a complete change. Among the reasons for her hesitation were fear, worry, Erjia, Xiaocui, Erxuerran, Sister Xi, but more importantly, she was concerned about him.

Reluctant to give up.

"Xiao Cui, hold the lamp."
