Chapter 580: Gesturing and Screaming

Wutong struggled for a while and nodded.

"Why?" Yan Lingyue asked, "You can't hear, speak, or read. My mechanical skills are always complicated. You can't learn them under these circumstances."

"Once I'm gone, you'll soon run out of food and water. How will you survive without food and water?"

Wutong lowered his head.

How could she not know this?

only……

The things her mother left her were still in the hands of the one in the palace.

The palace is vast and it is difficult to get out, and even more difficult to get in.

With her dilapidated body, once she leaves this deep palace, she may never be able to come back.

My mother's belongings will never be recovered.

She is unwilling to accept it!

"Aunt Wutong." Xie Yingmian spoke slowly, trying her best to let Wutong understand her lips: "Do you have a reason to stay?"

Wutong nodded.

Xie Yingmian: "Can you tell me the reason?"

Wutong gestured for a long time and drew on the ground for a long time.

Xie Yingmian didn't understand.

Yan Lingyue had spent a long time with Wutong, so he barely understood: "Wutong means that she must take something back. If she leaves the palace, it will be difficult for her to come back."

Xie Yingmian: "Can you tell us what it is?"

Wutong gestured again.

Yan Lingyue shook his head: "Sorry, I don't understand this."

Wutong wrote some words on the ground.

Yan Lingyue and Xie Yingmian couldn't understand it.

The light in Wutong's eyes dimmed little by little. She shook her head slightly, gesturing for Yan Lingyue to leave, saying that she wanted to stay.

Xie Yingmian said, "I really can't understand your words."

"But, I know someone who can understand your writing."

Wutong couldn't believe it.

Her eyes widened, her expression excited, and she gestured with trembling hands.

While gesturing, he also made "ah ah" sounds.

Xie Yingmian couldn't understand it, but he could guess it.

"It's true." Xie Yingmian said, "She can understand your handwriting. You can communicate with her and then tell me what you are looking for."

"It's easier for me to enter the palace, maybe I can help you find it."

"Even if I can't find you, you can sneak in again after I heal you."

"No matter what, it's better than waiting to die here."

Wutong was in tears, and she kept making "ah ah" sounds, gesturing and crying.

Xie Yingmian didn't know why Wutong was suddenly so excited.

When I didn't know how to comfort her,

Wutong suddenly knelt down despite the severe pain and kowtowed three times to Xie Yingmian.

Xie Yingmian was startled and hurriedly helped her up.

Yan Lingyue said, "Wutong has changed his mind and wants to go with me."

Xie Yingmian: "What should I do?"

Yan Lingyue said, "Every ten days, the palace will carry the large dung bucket out of the palace. Wutong and I will leave with the Zhongjin Palace's dung cart."

"I remember it was just carried out yesterday, so the earliest it will take is nine days."

"When the Zhongjin Palace carries manure out, have Yanqing keep an eye on the manure bucket leaving the palace."

"We'll leave in a bucket of shit."

"I'll mark the buckets with numbers, and Yanqing will be able to tell which bucket contains a person."

Xie Yingmian: ...

Is there no way to make it less smelly?

Although Xie Yingmian was complaining in his heart, he also knew that the dung bucket was smelly and full of disgusting filth, and the guards' lax inspection was the safest method.

She left a few bottles of medicine for Wutong and Yan Lingyue respectively.

One bottle is for pain relief and the other bottle is for cough relief, and they can be used for at least half a month.

After giving the instructions, Xie Yingmian left the courtyard.

When I reached the gate of the courtyard, the three houses disappeared from my sight again.

There is only a small courtyard in front of me, a sweet-scented osmanthus tree, a stone table and two stone benches.

There are still two big red lanterns swaying at the entrance of the courtyard.

The magical Yan family mechanical technology.

"Push open the door and walk along the road in front of you. Keep walking and keep walking. When you reach the end of the road, you will be near Fengyi Palace." Yan Lingyue's voice came.

Xie Yingmian followed Yan Lingyue's instructions and walked straight ahead.

After walking for about quarter of an hour, the road came to an end.

She turned toward the end.

The darkness suddenly turned into bright light.

Countless lanterns shone like daylight.

The three big characters of Fengyi Palace shone brightly in the moonlight and lamplight.

Yin and Yang, darkness and light, are clearly distinguished.

"Yingmian?" came the Queen's voice.

Xie Yingmian looked up and saw the queen's astonished face.

The queen walked over quickly and grabbed Xie Yingmian's hand: "Are you okay?"

"You haven't returned yet. I was worried something might have happened to you, so I sent someone to Changle Palace to pick you up. But the palace was closed, and no one answered no matter how much I knocked."

"When I tried to force my way in, a palace maid opened the door and said in a very perfunctory tone that you had already left."

"I returned to Fengyi Palace and waited and waited but you were nowhere to be found. Just when I was about to send someone to look for you, you happened to come back."

"Did the Queen Mother give you any trouble? Where did you go? Are you hurt?"

Xie Yingmian smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Queen."

"The Queen Mother did not embarrass me."

"I'm not hurt either."

"It's embarrassing to say that I got lost after leaving Changle Palace. I'm not familiar with the palace, and there are no palace maids or eunuchs around. I don't know where Aunt Jingping, who was supposed to lead the way, has gone."

"I just kept walking towards the brightest spot, but this palace was like a maze. It took me a while to find my way back here."

The queen felt a little depressed.

There are many palace maids and eunuchs in the palace, as well as patrolling guards. How is it possible that there is no one to be seen along the way?

Aunt Jingping, who led the way, is an elder in the palace. How dare she neglect her duties?

It was obvious that the Queen Mother was deliberately making things difficult for Xie Yingmian.

Xie Yingmian had returned safely, so the queen did not tell Xie Yingmian about this.

She lowered her voice and said, "Something big happened at the banquet just now."
