But at this moment, she did not dare to look up and look into Shu Guipin's eyes.

"Sister, I escaped!"

"Escaped?" Shu Guipin sneered and her eyes fell on Fang Jinlan's face, obviously in disbelief.

"The guards in Concubine Zhao's palace are so strict, how did you escape?"

Shu Guipin looked at Fang Jinlan without blinking. Afraid of missing any emotion on her face.

Fang Jinlan knew that she couldn't hide it from her elder sister.

What did Concubine Zhao say?

At this moment, she no longer wanted to ask whether this matter was right or wrong, and she subconsciously recalled Shen Fu's experience in her mind.

"Empress Zhao sent someone to watch over me." Fang Jinlan was shivering with cold, looking miserable.

The lips on her snow-white face turned pale, and she looked up at Concubine Shu Guipin, looking around anxiously: "And you sent people to torture me."

She showed the wounds on her body from the torture by the maids to Concubine Shu Gui: "I lived a life worse than death there. Fortunately, Concubine Zhao was too busy to see me."

"She arranged for me to stay in Zisu's room, and I took advantage of the darkness of the night and ran out by myself."

On the way to escape, Fang Jinlan lost her shoes and socks without knowing when.

At this moment, she was lying in front of Concubine Shu with her bare feet, which made people feel pity for her.

But there was not a trace of pity on Shu Guipin's face.

She carefully searched Fang Jinlan's face, but couldn't find any flaws.

"Just let you run away like that?"

As expected, the eldest sister still wanted to send her back to Dong.

Shu Guipin stumbled off the bed and threw herself in front of Shu Guipin.

He hugged her tightly and said, "Sister, please, I really don't want to go back to Dong anymore."

"Zi Su is not dead yet. The imperial physician said that she can still be saved." Fang Jinlan was covered in wounds and hugged Shu Guipin's legs miserably.

"Even if I hurt her, it wouldn't cost me my life."

There were many servants in the room, and Fang Jinlan was soaked from the rain.

He knelt in front of her pitifully. If she still doesn't give in, I'm afraid the servants will feel uncomfortable.

A concubine who cannot protect her own sister.

Naturally, he couldn't protect his own palace maids.

Concubine Shu looked at Fang Jinlan kneeling on the ground, her mind changing several times, but in the end she still gave in: "I will let you stay in Yikun Palace for the time being."

She knew that once Fang Jinlan escaped, Chen Fu would definitely send someone to investigate.

In fact, Shu Guipin didn't know whether she could protect Fang Jinlan.

But in front of so many servants, she, as the queen of the palace, would not allow herself to retreat.

"One life for another. As long as Concubine Zhao's maid is still alive, my sister can't die!"

Shu Guipin swore an oath.

Fang Jinlan had been worried for so long, but after hearing these words, she finally felt relieved.

Her hands, which had turned white from being soaked by the rain, slipped off the cloak. She knelt on the ground in a daze, watching the figure of Concubine Shu disappear from her sight.

The raindrops dripped on the bluestone slabs, and the noisy sound gradually became quiet with the sound of footsteps.

Even the wind gradually calmed down.

Fang Jinlan was still kneeling on the ground, her eyes fixed on the door, with only a bitter smile on her lips: "It's too late."

"Eldest sister, it's your life in exchange for mine!"
