Chapter 202: I can’t run away even if I want to

Cheng Jin paid special attention to the layout of the cold palace right after she came through.

At that time, she thought that after all, she would stay in the cold palace for a long time, and there was nothing wrong with knowing more about it.

Anyway, she was just a cannon fodder, and no one would notice her after knowing a few words in the whole text. Maybe she could have a chance to sneak out.

Maybe God was particularly kind to Cheng Jin, and Cheng Jin did find a hidden cave in the cold palace.

But she never used it, and thought that she would never use this exit in her life, but she didn’t expect to use it again now.

Cheng Jin took Ziying to the cold palace when it was dark.

The cold palace was originally located in the most remote place in the entire palace. Few people came here on weekdays. In this quiet night, naturally, not a single person was seen.

Cheng Jin walked in front, and Ziying followed Cheng Jin closely while paying attention to the movements around him, fearing that there would be any unusual movements.

However, just as Cheng Jin thought, since Chu Chengye ascended the throne, there has been no one in the cold palace, and some people were probably just the souls of the dead who died tragically.

The cold wind at night penetrated into Cheng Jin's clothes through the cuffs, and the whole person shuddered uncontrollably.

Cheng Jin didn't want to linger in this place any longer, so he went directly to the hole in his memory that he could go out without any stop.

After Cheng Jin arrived, he was a little suspicious whether he had gone to the wrong place.

She was able to find it before because the cold palace was too poorly managed, and the entrance to the cave was not hidden, with only some simple things covering it.

But when she came back this time, the same place, the same position, she could no longer see the same entrance.

Cheng Jin looked around in some surprise, confirming that it was the place in front of her, but what was in front of her was no longer just some discarded objects, but was blocked by many large discarded cabinets and tables, and was also filled with a lot of sand and stones, which had surrounded the wall so that the original appearance could not be seen clearly.

Cheng Jin dug a place with the movable stones, and indeed saw the entrance to the cave she had found before, but it had been sealed by someone a long time ago. Now even if she dug out some of the debris blocking the entrance to the cave, it would be useless.

Cheng Jin threw the sand in her hand away, she looked back at Ziying and said, "It's blocked, we can't go here."

Ziying was a little surprised when she heard what Cheng Jin said.

If someone wasn't imprisoned in the cold palace, no one would think of checking it out. It seems that someone has noticed the cold palace a long time ago.

Ziying also went forward to take a look, and it was just as Cheng Jin said. She looked at Cheng Jin with some disappointment, "Madam, what should we do now?"

Cheng Jin walked down from the pile of things, she stood in front of the wall and thought carefully.

This palace is only separated from the outside by a wall, it is so close, but there is no way.

In order to prevent someone from escaping, the palace had already thought of this and built the walls very high. When people stood under the walls, it was like a towering mountain, and there was no possibility of escape.

But now, the cave entrance has been blocked. If you still want to get out, you can only...

Cheng Jin looked up at the extremely high wall.

You can only go from above.

Ziying followed Cheng Jin's line of sight and saw the highest point of the wall. He immediately understood what Cheng Jin meant. Cheng Jin wanted to jump to the highest point along this pile of debris and leave the palace from above.

She was surprised and said, "Your Majesty, no."

"Even if there are these things below, even if you go up, there is no way to get down from such a high wall."

"If you break bones because of the fall, wouldn't it be even more troublesome?"

"No, let's go up first."

Cheng Jin shook her head indifferently, and jumped lightly onto the wall along the pile of things. She originally wanted to smile at Ziying to show that she had learned well these days and it was easy to climb up such a high place.

Cheng Jin just stood firmly on the wall and turned around to look at Ziying, but before she could laugh, she was immediately replaced by fear.

There was a figure not far behind Ziying.

They wouldn't... wouldn't they be discovered by someone?

As soon as this thought came out, Cheng Jin was terrified. Even if she explained again, there was no way to prove that she had deliberately sneaked out of the palace.

It was a dark and windy night, and Cheng Jin could not see the man's appearance. She could only see that he was a very tall man.

Cheng Jin instantly felt her hands and feet go numb, and cold sweat slid down her forehead.

Ziying seemed to have noticed that something was wrong with Cheng Jin, and she turned around subconsciously. When she saw the person coming, she was terrified and immediately knelt on the ground.

Because the distance was too far, Cheng Jin could not hear what Ziying said, but from the panic of her kowtow, she could tell that the person in front of her was a person of high status.

Cheng Jin became even more nervous. She had even thought about her crime and how she would die. She closed her eyes and accepted this life of drama.

Just after she closed her eyes, she suddenly heard a familiar voice.

"Come down quickly, be careful not to fall."

Cheng Jin almost cried. Through her tears, she seemed to see the face of the person in front of her.

It was Chu Chengye.

There was a hint of panic in Chu Chengye's tone, as if he was afraid that Cheng Jin would fall if she wasn't careful.

Cheng Jin didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

If she was discovered by Chu Chengye, the worst that could happen was a scolding and being taken back to Chunhe Palace.

But if she was discovered by Chu Chengye, there was no way she could leave the palace.

Now that she had been discovered, there was no point in saying anything.

Chu Chengye took a few steps towards Cheng Jin, "Come down quickly, I have something good to tell you."

Chu Chengye's eyes sparkled, and his voice was filled with surprise that was hard to conceal.

Cheng Jin felt a little puzzled, but from Chu Chengye's tone, it must be a great thing.

Cheng Jin also forgot about coming down to talk about something, she sat on the wall and talked to Chu Chengye, "What's wrong? What good news?"

While Cheng Jin was talking, one leg curled up comfortably, and she gently shook the other calf hanging by the wall, and the heels touched the wall again and again.

Cheng Jin's posture looked relaxed and comfortable, but sitting on a wall that was almost as high as a foot made people feel scared.

Chu Chengye's heart seemed to be aching along with Cheng Jin's gently shaking legs.

He took a few steps closer to Cheng Jin and waved at her.

"Come down first, I'll tell you when you come down."

Cheng Jin thought Chu Chengye was keeping her in suspense, she couldn't help but chuckle, "I've been caught by you, I definitely can't escape, even if you didn't lie to me, I would have gone down."

Chu Chengye kept an eye on Cheng Jin's movements, "I'm not lying to you, I really have good news, but it's too dangerous for you to be there now, come down first, we'll talk when you come down."

Cheng Jin moved her body, thinking about how to go down while talking to Chu Chengye.

"Then tell me what the good news is first?"

"It's about Cheng Sheng."
