    Before Li Longji, Shangyang Palace was an important palace in the eastern capital of the Tang Dynasty. Emperor Gaozong and Empress Wu had lived here for a long time. Even Li Longji himself would come here during his eastern tour.  But as Li Longji grew older and became tired of traveling far away, this place became deserted.  Concubine Mei moved in, which caused quite a stir in Shangyang Palace. Some people felt sympathy for each other, and some felt happy because Concubine Mei had been favored. This was the result of people's hearts, and it has been the same throughout the ages.  However, because the decree that sent Concubine Mei here clearly stated that she should manage the affairs of Shangyang Palace, no matter whether it was the eunuch or the maid, they did not dare to be too negligent.  It's just that Concubine Mei was probably reluctant to part with the favor of the Xingqing Palace in Chang'an City, so she got out of the car and drove, and people saw that her eyes were red and swollen, and she had obviously been crying all the way.  "There is really a lot of water from Chang'an to Luoyang." There were some malicious whispers.  "Shh, even though this empress was demoted, she still holds the power of life and death for us. And I heard that she was very favored in the past. Local state and county officials rushed to send horses to deliver plum blossoms to her." "No matter how it used to be,  It's over now, how could Yang Ni let her go back to the mountain and let her get close to Tianyan again? These comments didn't seem to affect Concubine Mei. She just looked sad and refused the accommodation arranged for her by the eunuch here, but wanted to  We arrived at a courtyard in the southwest of Shangyang Palace. There was a building on top of that courtyard, and we could climb on it and look at the Valley River to the west and the Luoshui River to the south. Concubine Mei was looking south from the upstairs, and suddenly she cried again and called people.  She took out a pen and paper and seemed to be writing something, but in the end she didn't say a word. The next day, Mei Fei didn't eat or drink, she just leaned on the railing and looked at the people around her.  Gong E and the eunuch were both sad about it. She only had a bowl of porridge in the evening and then went to bed early. When Gong E wanted to put out the candle, Concubine Mei said, "Don't put out the candle, I'm afraid."  black.  " Gong E obeyed her words and left, but she didn't know that when the night was deep, Mei Fei got up quietly. She climbed up the small building alone and looked around. It was hazy everywhere, and half of the moon hung in the sky, illuminating the sky.  Looking at the gray earth, she looked towards the Luoshui River in the south. There were still some fishing fires on the Luoshui River. She stood there until late in the night and sighed silently. She made up her mind.  We walked up the building and slowly came to the side of the ditch. Outside the ditch, there was a wall. There were guards on duty inside the wall. However, due to the long period of peace, there were not many guards and there were few patrols at night.  The concubine slowly walked into the water. It was already early summer in April, so the water temperature was not too cold, but she still shivered. "There is a water channel in Yugou that leads to Luoshui. If you can get out of Yugou, you can escape."  Without any obstruction, as long as the empress made sufficient preparations in advance and left various traces, when they found out that the empress was missing, they would just think that the empress had committed suicide by diving into the water.  "Ye Chang's words echoed in her ears again, and she seemed to be in Xin'an again: "The only thing I have to worry about is that there must be iron bars in the ditch. However, the iron bars have been soaked in water for many years and have been there for seven years.  In ten years, it will be rusty and rotten. I will send people to dive into the water and saw through the iron fence to make it look like it is in disrepair. Mother only needs to walk out through the fence.  " Gritting her teeth, Mei Fei walked out along the Yugou. This Yugou was formed by dividing a branch of the valley water into Shangyang Palace. The water was not deep and only reached the waist. Mei Fei was from Fujian and had been there since she was a child.  Growing up in a watery countryside, she was very cautious, so the sound of the water was not loud. Through the faint moonlight, she saw the iron bars, and her body couldn't help but tremble slightly. Ye Changhui kept his promise.  What? The piece of paper she used to blackmail Ye Chang has been returned to Ye Chang. If Ye Chang breaks his promise, she will be completely helpless now. She can't see anything in the dark water gate. Concubine Mei is a little desperate.  She thought: He will keep his promise. But she didn't know that during the day, when Ye Chang was explaining matters to everyone in the Grand View Garden of Luoyang City, he was also thinking about the same question: should he keep his promise? Now Mei Fei has nothing to blackmail him.  , not helping Concubine Mei would cause Ye Chang no loss at all. Even if Concubine Mei told her about their agreement, someone would have to believe it. "Ye Chang's temper has always been that he doesn't like threats from others, so Bian Lingcheng did.  After threatening him, Ye Chang held a grudge, and later planned to kill Bian Lingcheng and put the blame on Huangfu Weiming. This time, Concubine Mei threatened him even more. According to his temper, he had to take revenge on Concubine Mei.  The look in his eyes when returning the paper always flashed before his eyes. It wasn't that he had any feelings for Concubine Mei. It was just that this unfortunate woman in the deep palace had a desire for freedom and insisted on her own dignity at all costs.  He was impressed. He asked himself, if he were in her position, could he be as good as her and do better than her? "Ye Sima was a little distracted today. Could it be that he was worried about the situation in Liaodong?  "His heart is not in itYan, fell into Zhang Hao's eyes, Zhang Hao smiled and said: "Didn't Brother Jia just say that there is news from Liaodong?" The news from Jili Prefecture did not spread as fast as Anlu Mountain, but at this time it was also  When he arrived in Luoyang, Jia Maoer was in charge of affairs in Luoyang, and the news came into his hands. Ye Chang came to Luoyang and got the news.  The situation is not as bad as what was reported on Mount Anlu. Only one Khitan group has actually entered Andong, the Diela tribe with about 20,000 people, and they are still far away from Jili Prefecture.  "I'm not worried about this matter" Ye Chang shook his head.  "Then what else is there to worry about?" Everyone asked, but Ye Chang laughed it off and did not say anything.  The story of Concubine Mei is too bizarre, and after being told, it only confuses people's ears.  He had something in mind and got up to change his clothes. When he came out, he saw Luo Shouyi.  This old Taoist came to Luoyang from Yaowang Temple at the invitation of Ye Changzhi, who asked him to go to Liaodong to spread medical skills.  Thinking that this old Taoist had some skills, Ye Chang asked: "Brother, I have a doubt in my mind, please give me some advice." "It's rare that you also have doubts, brother." Luo Shouyi smiled slightly: "Just tell me."  "Someone asked me to do something, but this person has plotted against me. I don't know whether I should do it for him or not." When Luo Shou heard Ye Chang ask this, the smile on his face stopped and became solemn.  He has been paying attention to this nominal junior brother. Just like Shanzhi hopes to flourish the Buddhist family, Luo Shouyi also hopes to flourish the Taoist sect. In his opinion, Ye Chang is the key to the flourishing of the Taoist sect in the next forty years.  " There are just some things in Ye Chang's character that Luo Shouyi feels are a bit extreme. For example, when it comes to people who offend him, he will chase after and beat up those who have offended him at every opportunity, without any concern about hurting others.  Although sometimes Ye Chang does this out of helplessness, Luo Shouyi feels that in addition to being helpless, it is better to have a more compassionate heart.  "Junior brother, why do you need to ask me?" After thinking for a while, Luo Shou said: "When you resettled the victims outside Luoyang City, wasn't it because you had to do it because of others' calculations? If this is right, even if someone is plotting against you, you should go too  If this is wrong, no one is planning it, and you won¡¯t do it. Junior brother, isn¡¯t that how you always act?¡± ¡°You only ask about right and wrong, not who it is I understand.  "Ye Chang bowed to Luo Shou and said, "Thank you, senior brother." "Why thank me? It's your intention." Luo Shou stroked his beard and smiled: "I've heard about the name of the Grand View Garden for a long time, and my junior brother didn't arrange for anyone to lead him.  "Watch?" Ye Chang smiled and called someone to hang out with him. He thought about it for a while, and then called someone: "Bian Ping, there is something I need you to do." Bian Ping is one of the few followers who follows Ye Chang.  One of them, others thought it was strange that this person had neither literary talent nor bravery. He could not defeat the most ordinary guards around Ye Chang in a fight, but Ye Chang seemed to value him very much.  ¡°My lord, just give me your orders,¡± Bian Ping responded.  "You have excellent water skills, I want you to help me" The task assigned to Bian Ping is to sneak into the water gate of Shangyang Palace from Gushui after nightfall and saw open a fence above the water gate.  "There may be two fences. Remember, it's the water gate in the southwest. You only need to saw off one fence to allow you to enter and exit." Ye Chang looked at Bian Ping: "Are you willing to do this?"  "I wish." Bian Ping's answer was very concise.  He knows Ye Chang¡¯s expectations for him and has a very clear self-positioning.  Following Ye Chang, he can do some things that others cannot do, just like he lurked beside brother Wu Dahai for more than half a year.  "If it is exposed, it will be a crime of confiscating the house and beheading." "It cannot be exposed." Bian Ping grinned, with a bit of excitement in his expression, just like when Ye Chang asked him to ambush Wu Dahai.  "Yeah." Ye Chang sent Bian Ping to do this without saying anything else.  In order to be on the safe side, he had to speed up his journey, so he told him to prepare the ship that had been waiting in Luoyang for a long time and leave early the next morning. Late at night, he arrived at the west of Luoyang City with only a few people.  Asking everyone to guard him, he quietly walked up the ditch and arrived outside Shangyang Palace.  This matter is of great importance, and the fewer people who know about it, the better. When he got here, the only one following him was Bian Ping. "I'm going to do something," Bian Ping said.  "Go." Ye Chang nodded in agreement.  "If you think about it from a rational point of view, he shouldn't have come at all. The matter of Concubine Mei has nothing to do with him. Now Concubine Mei has no reason to threaten him.  But how can a person always be rational in his life? In another life, he almost never did anything crazy. In this life he tried it this time.  As he expected, the iron fence in the water gate was in decay. It only took half an hour for Bian Ping to appear in front of Ye Chang again. After Ye Chang waved his hand, he left silently in the night.    Ye Chang is still waiting there.  He will create conditions for Concubine Mei to escape, but he will not go to Shangyang Palace to take Concubine Mei out. That is not crazy but stupid.  It is up to Concubine Mei to choose whether to leave or not, to fly freely or to continue to be a caged bird. In the Shangyang Palace, there was no sound, Ye Chang sat on the edge of the ditch, waiting quietly.  ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????:  No matter it is true or not, a man should do what he promises.  Waiting for her here until dawn, you can't break your promise to a woman.  When Ye Chang was half asleep and half awake, in the Shangyang Palace, Mei Fei touched the iron fence of the water gate, her heart full of despair. Ye Chang told her that the iron fence was the only obstacle to the water gate, and he would find a way to use it on the iron fence.  There is a hole for entry and exit. As long as she finds the hole, she can leave this huge cage.  But no matter how much she groped on the iron fence, she couldn't find any opening for her to get in and out.  That man, as expected still broke his promise.  When he had nothing to threaten him, he still broke his promise. In this life, he believed in the promises of two men. One is now in Chang'an, and may be sleeping soundly with his new love in his arms. The vows made by each other in the hall before Huazhi  , has long since vanished into thin air.  Now, the second man I trusted was like this. He might have been boating on the river, going straight down the river to the place where there is no prison. He was still laughing at himself as a woman on the boat. Since he had done something shameless,  But he shrank back halfway.  Tears rolled down and fell into the water.  The water in Yugou didn't smell bad. Although it was early summer, Mei Fei still felt cold.  She gritted her teeth: She was blind and saw the wrong person. No wonder she was deceived by others. She could only blame herself for being stupid.  Since there is no hope of freedom in this life, it is better to die here. She gave up struggling and began to shrink into the water.  The water flow carried her and gently hit the iron railing. Then Mei Fei suddenly remembered that she had not checked the lowest part of the iron railing. She held her breath and reached out to fumble underneath. Then, ecstasy emerged in her.  On the face: Sure enough, there is a gap. The gap is not big, you can't find it if you are not careful, and it is closest to the ground. Mei Fei surfaced, first took a deep breath, then dived into the water again, and passed through the fence.  , arrived at the water gate.  At this moment, she heard the faint sound of footsteps. They were soldiers patrolling at night, heading this way.  Not daring to delay, she quietly went down the river and reached the second fence.  Like the first water gate, there is also a gap.  Mei Fei had calmed down at this time. She dived into the water again, and the second fence was soon behind her.  She poked her head out of the water. Although she wanted to calm herself down, she couldn't help but gasp violently. Then a hand was put on her shoulder, grabbed her arm, and pulled her up from the water.  .  "I promised you, and now I've done half of it." Ye Chang's voice rang in her ears, and a piece of Yu's clothes was draped on her body. She tried hard to open her eyes, trying to see clearly the person who was pulling her up.  She was a human being, but she didn't know if it was tears or water that blurred her eyes, making her unable to see anything.  The happiness of freedom crashed on her like a wave. After all the pressure was gone, her knees weakened and she passed out.  Before falling to the ground, she felt a pair of strong hands holding her up, followed by a faint sound of "trouble", and then, she was picked up by those hands.
