"After my grandfather's death, he fell seriously ill, and since then he has been recuperating in another hospital, and the eldest princess of An Yi has also begun to live in seclusion, so I have rarely had the opportunity to meet them. When I left Beijing five years ago, I had the opportunity to visit Ding'an, and he was still sick in bed, looking like an old man in his last years, and he no longer had half of his youthful demeanor. But when I was leaving, he still said to me......" Li Yu paused when he said this, "He said, do whatever I want, and there is always him in the capital." ”

The light in the secret passage was dim, and He Linwan didn't see Li Yu's expression when she said this, but she still held Li Yu's hand comfortingly with her backhand.

Li Yu lowered his head slightly and squeezed He Linwan's hand in the palm of his hand, and continued: "When I returned to Beijing this time, I wanted to see him again. ”

As soon as He Linwan frowned, Li Yu smoothed his eyebrows with his fingers, "Don't frown, especially don't frown for me, I don't like it." I know what you're trying to say, don't worry, I'm not going to see Ding'an. Because I don't know what I'll be able to say when I see him. If he really threw himself into the emperor, I have no way to accuse him, he has done a lot of things for my grandfather, father and me over the years, if it were not for his protection, my father might not have survived to this day, he is kind to our Jin Palace. ”

"Then what does it have to do with him when you sneaked into the palace?" He Linwan asked.

Li Yu sighed lightly and said, "I'm here to find something." ”

"What is it?" He Linwan was a little puzzled, if he wanted to find something to find the palace, he had to come by Li Yu himself.

"When my grandfather handed over his team to Ding'anhou, there was actually a token, which was originally kept by the old lady's descendants. But then...... The old queen mother lost the token. Li Yu's voice was a little helpless.

"Is this token capable of mobilizing those forces in Ding'an Hou's hands?" He Linwan asked.

Li Yu nodded and said with a wry smile: "Well, the people in Ding'anhou's hands are still the team left by my grandfather after all." Originally, after my grandfather's death, these people should have been handed over to my father, but my father was ...... In addition, the tokens left with the old queen mother have also been lost, so those people have been transferred by Ding'an Hou over the years, and he used to be my most trusted elder. ”

He Linwan frowned and said, "Is the token in the old empress dowager's hand really lost? Could it be secretly stolen?"

It's no wonder that He Lin will have such a guess, it is really such a token is too important, where can it be said that it is lost if it is lost?

"If the token is lost in someone else's hands, I will wonder if it has been taken. But the old queen mother ......" Li Yu paused, carefully considered the words before continuing: "The old queen mother's temperament is relatively simple and sparse, if my grandfather handed her some gold and silver things, she would definitely be able to put it away, but that token is made of dark iron, and her old man is very likely to throw it away as an iron lump." ”

He Linwan: "......"

"You have been in the palace a lot over the years, haven't you looked for it?" He Linwan asked.

Li Yu shook his head, "Although there have been a lot of people who have entered the palace over the years, there are people around me every time. The Wanshou Palace where the old queen mother lives has been sealed after the death of her old man, and I have asked Cheng Yan to sneak into the Wanshou Palace several times to find it, but in the end it was in vain, so I want to go and see it in person. Today, Cheng Yan lied that there were assassins and led people to search the palace, originally to create an opportunity for me to sneak into the Wanshou Palace during the day, because the guards were the weakest at this time. Wanshou Palace is not far from Wenzhen Palace, and I happened to learn that you were embarrassed by Chunyang in Wenzhen Palace, so I rushed over to look for you. ”

After listening to Li Yu finish telling the whole story, He Linwan nodded, thought about it and said, "Although I don't want to splash cold water on you, I still want to say that this token has been lost for many years, and even if you look for it yourself, you may not be able to find it." You still have to prepare for both things. ”

Li Yu touched He Linwan's head and said with a smile: "I know, if I can't find the token this time, I have other plans, don't worry." ”

He Linwan glanced at him, "Then when are you going to go to Wanshou Palace?"

Li Yu thought for a while, "I'm afraid it won't be possible during the day, I'll go again tonight." ”

He Linwan nodded and said to Li Yu: "Okay, then I'll go with you." ”

Li Yu was stunned for a moment, and smiled bitterly, "Wanwan, you should know that it is much more risky for two people to go together than to go alone?" In the past few years, the guards in the palace have been a little stricter than when I was in the capital, and even Cheng Yan, the deputy commander of the forbidden army, is not completely sure that he can completely avoid all the guards in the palace and sneak into the Wanshou Palace, otherwise we wouldn't have to spend such a big battle today." ”

He Linwan suddenly smiled, "What you said makes sense, but that's you." If you take me with you, I guarantee that you can perfectly avoid all the guards in the palace and sneak into the palace of longevity without knowing it, because I can take you through the secret passage. ”

Li Yu was silent when he heard this.

He Linwan shook the hand he was holding and said softly: "This secret passage is complicated, even if I tell you the route, you will have to take some time to remember it, right? I'll take you into the Wanshou Palace and then go back immediately, and I promise that no one will find out. ”

Li Yu took He Linwan into his arms again, his chin gently rubbed on the top of her head, sighed and whispered: "Wanwan, in fact, you don't have to think about everything for me. Whether you call me selfish or arrogant, sometimes I want you to stand there and look at me. As long as I know that you are watching me, I will crawl to you even if I am walking on the thorns. If this thorny path is a hundred paces away, I hope I will complete the hundred steps. ”

He Linwan did not speak.

Li Yu touched He Linwan's head, let her go, looked down at her and sighed with a smile: "But I also know that my Wanwan is not an ordinary woman." She seemed more willing to walk with me through the difficult 100 steps than to stand still and wait. Although I felt distressed, I couldn't help but feel proud and happy. Am I being selfish?"

He Linwan shook his head.

He Linwan knew that Li Yu was not selfish, he was just tolerant. As a man and a superior, he embraces her willfulness and strength. He didn't want her to do so much for him because he was distressed, and he wanted her to do so much for him because he understood.

He Linwan let Li Yu hug him for a while, but he still didn't forget his business, and reminded him when he let go: "You name a place, I'll look for you after tonight." ”

Although Li Yu was helpless, he still said: "I will go to you when the time comes." ”
