In her previous life, Jian Xi felt that the palace was so big that even though she tried her best, she could not escape.

Now, she felt that the palace was so small that she could sneak out quietly in just a few steps.

Shake your head and sigh.

The world will become small at the feet of the strong, but growth requires suffering that ordinary people cannot bear.

Jian Xi walked alone on the street, looking at the Kyoto street scene that she had never seen before in her previous life, with mixed emotions.

"Jian Xi, is that you?"

Jian Xi turned around and saw Jiang Tao, who was dressed in simple clothes.

She smiled and nodded.

"Salesman Jiang, long time no see."

If it hadn't been for the encounter on the street, Jian Xi would have forgotten Jiang Tao.

In her previous life, Jian Xi lived in a small world and didn't know many people.

Jiang Tao is one of them.

This man is a salesman, who is responsible for delivering daily necessities to the palace servants, and also sells new goods in the outer courtyard of the palace.

The day when the salesman came was the time when the palace servants went to the market.

Jian Xi once loved the short-lived and lively parents at that time, and she even liked collecting small objects in Jiang Tao's hands.

In the past, she was so innocent...

But Jiang Tao had a completely different feeling.

He had a strange dream yesterday.

In the dream, he dreamed that he rushed to the palace and only saw Jian Xi's stumps...

In the heart of Jiang Tao, who has carried family hatred for many years, Jian Xi is his only salvation.

He always liked to go to the palace to deliver goods, and then look at Jian Xi's shining eyes and her smile as sweet as the sun.

When he dreamed that his light disappeared, Jiang Tao collapsed...

The dream made his mind confused for a long time, and he couldn't concentrate on anything, so he had to go to the street to get some fresh air.

Unexpectedly, he met Jian Xi, whom he had been dreaming about.

Jiang Tao breathed a long sigh of relief.

It's great that you're okay...

he asked with a smile.

"Has the Second Madam allowed you to leave the palace?"

Does that mean that the previous bed-crawling and frame-up incidents are over?

Jian Xi suddenly didn't know how to explain this matter to Jiang Tao.

Even if Mrs. Lou hadn't hindered her, she would have been demoted to the lowest rank of sweeper long ago, and there was no possibility of leaving the house.

But that doesn't mean she can't come out on her own.

Now, there is no place to trap her.

"I ran out on my own."

Jiang Tao thought, as long as Jian Xi is safe, why bother?

He suddenly smiled softly.

"I think you are different today than in the past."

Jian Xi also smiled, feeling melancholy as if seeing an old friend.

"You are still the same person, maybe your mentality is different."

Jiang Tao nodded and asked Jian Xi hesitantly.

"Can I treat you to a meal?"

Jian Xi shook her head.

"No, it's late today and I have something to do. We can get together another day."

Jiang Tao always felt that he couldn't bear to leave Jian Xi.

"It's getting late now, and you haven't been out much... If there's anything important, you can ask me to take care of it for you."

Jian Xi thought about it and felt that she was indeed not familiar with Kyoto.

she says.

"I'm looking for someone in Kyoto."

Jiang Tao was stunned.

In such a big Kyoto, at this time, who are you looking for?

Then Jiang Tao nodded and said.

"It's not right for you to be alone, so I'd better go with you."

Jian Xi thought that she did not plan to let the triplets return to the palace for the time being, so she could ask Jiang Tao for help in finding a place to settle down.

"Okay, then I'll trouble Mr. Jiang."

Jian Xi found the slums of Kyoto under the influence of the imperial seal.

Finally, I found an old courtyard in Tushui Lane.

Jiang Tao asked.

"Are you sure this is here?"

Jian Xi nodded and observed the structure of the entire courtyard.

Although the houses in the yard look dilapidated, they are fully equipped with main rooms, side rooms, side rooms, woodsheds and kitchens.

This is obviously not the residence of ordinary poor people. It was probably bought and renovated to be used for illegal activities.

Jian Xi did not use magic, but determined whether there was a secret room by feeling the changes in wind direction and humidity.

Sure enough, Jian Xi found clues in the side room.

The connection between her and the triplets became stronger.

She said to Jiang Tao.

"right here."

Jiang Tao nodded without knowing why.

Jian Xi groped around for herself, looking for the switch of the secret room door.

At this time, there was a noise outside.

Jian Xi pulled Jiang Tao and quickly hid behind the screen.

The two men in ragged clothes walked in from the outside calmly, carrying food.

Both of them are tall and strong, one has a pockmarked face and the other has a dark complexion.

The pock-marked man drank the wine, took a sip and said to the black face.

"I have done enough, taking care of some unweaned things every day!"

Black Face kicked him and scolded him.

"With your virtue, you don't know how to do anything, so what else do you want to do?"

Mazi wiped a handful of saliva on his face, and then complained while opening the door to the secret room.

"Damn it, when will I get a wife..."

When the pockmarked face saw Jian Xi, she was stunned.

Did God give him a wife?

This is too beautiful!

Jian Xi smiled and touched his acupuncture points.

The dark-faced person on the other side had just put away the food and turned his head. He opened his mouth but didn't speak yet. It was as if he had a pockmarked face and couldn't move.

When Jiang Tao saw Jian Xi's effort, he frowned suspiciously.

Jian Xi tied them up and threw them away, then went directly to the secret room to save people.

Jiang Tao asked behind Jian Xi.

"Jian Xi, when did you learn Kung Fu?"

The foul smell that hit her face made Jian Xi dizzy.

She replied perfunctorily.

"I received guidance from an expert in my dream."

Thinking of his dream, Jiang Tao was frightened.

Maybe something strange happened to them.

He stopped talking.

The further you go in, the turbid the air becomes.

Jian Xi discovered.

This is not a secret room, but a dungeon.

There were scattered children of different ages inside, the oldest no more than four or five years old.

Most of them have sallow complexion and thin skin.

Some were dull, while others stared at Jian Xi with big curious eyes without saying a word.

Jian Xi frowned.

If it was a simple sale of children, it shouldn't be under such harsh conditions.

Because no buyer will like a sickly, dirty and skinny person.

So what exactly are these kids used for?

The triplets were abused before they died and were not enlightened at all.

So they don't know what happened before they died.

It was only after Jian Xi became a reincarnation judge that she learned that the triplets died of starvation.

But I saw this environment with my own eyes.

It's another different feeling.

The evil ghosts in the underworld are heartless and cannot compare to the heart of the evil ghosts in the human world.

During the search, Jian Xi glanced at the triplets huddled together in the cell.

Their thin and helpless appearance made Jian Xi's eyes red.

The anger in her heart was so overwhelming!

Tianhe opened his eyes, looked at Jian Xi and said.

"Mother, you've been here for so long, are you just watching? Didn't you bring anything to eat?"

Tianshu and Tianheng also opened their big, watery and pitiful eyes.

Their stomachs are really hungry.

In the thousand years of underworld, I have experienced everything, but I have never been starved like this...

Mother, help me!
