"Sister, if I can, I hope you can be my help, as long as you join, I believe that our wish to revitalize the royal family will soon be realized, what do you think?" The second prince's sincere voice sounded, echoing in the long corridor, somehow, with some ethereal feelings.

"Of course, that's what I want. Peony didn't think about it, so he answered the question of the second prince Hongxi.

Beside him, the roar of thunder and lightning still rang non-stop, in fact, Lu Tao knew that if the lightning was close enough, the thunder that exploded in his ears would be like a slap in the face, making people's ears buzz for a long time.

The second prince narrowed the distance with Peony a little, and did not stop until the two of them were hidden in the dark, and then kept the same pace as Peony to move forward, and as he walked, the second prince lowered his voice and said: "Sister, we must keep an eye on Sedum tonight, in fact, since I got half of the jade seal a few days ago, this guy found it by himself, I suspect that he has some ulterior secret, maybe it will be unfavorable to us." ”

"I even suspect ......" The second prince glanced at Gonggong Jing, who was leading the way in front, and said in a lower voice: "I even suspect that Sedum was sent by his father at all, and the purpose is to wipe out our disobedient sons and daughters!"

Peony nodded: "It's not that there is no possibility, as far as I know, the legend of the jade seal of the country has a long history, and it is very likely that the ancestors of the royal family that were established at the beginning left behind, but the story about getting the jade seal of the country to be able to obtain the world began to appear three years ago, and the prophecy in it is conclusive, by the way, you should know the curse of the second emperor brother, right?"

"Of course!" The second prince Hongxi nodded: "If the non-royal covets the jade seal, they will suffer and die." ”

"Heh!" Peony chuckled: "This curse is unreasonable, but in the past two years, many people have indeed disappeared in the palace, even the concubines of the father and emperor can disappear out of thin air, not to mention those poor people who have no foundation, at most they are used as scapegoats for others and fill in the well." ”

"Where in this world are there any poor people...... In other words, sister, do you suspect that these disappeared people are the actions of your father?"

Peony nodded: "Father also underestimated us a little, people disappear in the palace every day, and different people enter this wall every day, it is impossible for Father to not know about these anomalies, but he has no reaction at all, which is enough." ”

The second prince pondered for a while before continuing: "In this way, I'm afraid tonight's action won't be too smooth...... It's better to do this, sister, you give me half of your jade seal, I will go to this tiger's den, as long as I can obtain the unification according to the prophecy, then this imperial city is me and you have the final say, I can swear in the name of the ancestors, what do you think?"

Peony paused at her feet, and then continued to walk forward, she pondered for a long time before continuing to speak: "...... Second Emperor Brother...... What you're saying is true?"

"Of course!" the second prince Hongxi nodded.

"Boom!" A huge lightning bolt fell from the sky, and I don't know where it hit, I heard a cracking sound from a building next to it, followed by a series of bangs, needless to say, probably a building was struck by lightning, and it sounded like at least half of it had collapsed.

Of the four people hidden in the shadows, three of them looked in the direction where the sound came from, and the last person, the wooden man standing beside the second prince Hongxi, was still staring intently ahead, as if he didn't hear the loud noise next to him at all.

Waiting for all kinds of chaotic voices to stop, the second prince Hongxi chuckled twice, but his expression was a little unnatural, he continued: "Sister, you should know that I, Hongxi, have always been true to my word in the royal family, and what I say will definitely be done, besides, the royal family is so big, I definitely can't control it alone." ”

Looking at the dark clouds surging in the sky, the second prince quickly finished what he had to say, and then stopped speaking, as if he was patiently waiting for Peony's answer.

Peony was silent for a while, and only after the thunder stopped for a while did he speak: "Then, the next trouble will be handed over to you, the imperial brother, and I will wait for the imperial brother in my own bedroom." ”

As he spoke, Peony untied the burden he had pointed out to the second prince Hongxi from behind him, grabbed the upper hem of the burden and handed it to the second prince.

The second prince's eyes were shining, even outside the range of Jing Gonggong's lantern, it was still terrifyingly bright, Lu Tao couldn't help but pull Peony's arm, the second prince's words were obviously not credible, if he hadn't walked in the narrow alleyway, such an obvious lie would have been killed by lightning many times!

Peony grabbed Lu Tao's hand: "Xiao Taozi, don't stop me! I absolutely trust the imperial brother! The situation tonight is too dangerous, this is not something we should get involved in! So, believe me, there is absolutely no problem in handing it over to the imperial brother!"

The second prince stretched out half of his hand and paused, and then grabbed the burden in Peony's hand at a faster speed: "Hehehehehehe! Imperial sister, you are right! I will definitely take back the throne and then reinvigorate the majesty of the royal family, believe me!"

"Then Brother Huang, I'll wait for you later! What was promised to me before is a word!"

"Of course!"

Hearing the categorical answer of the second prince Hongxi, Peony pulled Lu Tao to stop.

The lightning was still roaring in the sky, Lu Tao watched the second prince quickly follow Gonggong Jing, and watched the light leaking from the lantern disappear at the end of the narrow alleyway with the pace of several people, and then there was no sound, before he looked back at Peony: "Half of the jade seal we finally found, just give it to him?"

"Heh!" Peony sneered: "What he gave him is fake, but part of what I said earlier is true, we don't have to be in such a hurry, it's not bad to wait until the second prince and the father are both defeated." The second prince is good at all, but it's a pity that just for this bit of power, even his last wisdom is gone, let's go, let's go up and take a look, and see who is using the heirloom jade seal to do things in the west. ”

Following Peony in the opposite direction, Lu Tao looked at the towering courtyard walls on both sides and asked, "Don't we have to follow them?"

"Hmph, no!" Peony replied in a disdainful voice as he walked: "They think that no one knows the secret passage, but they don't know that in fact I have known the secret passage from the beginning.

Lu Tao looked at a high wall pointed to by Peony, jumped slightly, and climbed the edge of the high wall and climbed up.

"Hey, drag me up too!"

Just when Lu Tao was about to turn over to see what was on the other side of the wall, Peony's voice came from below, and when he looked down, Peony looked at Lu Tao angrily: "Do you think I can jump so high?"

Lu Tao: "...... How did you know I could jump that high? If I couldn't, wouldn't your plans be in vain?"

"Oh, do I have to follow to see how they fight to death, to be honest, I just have to wait for tomorrow's results, and now I'm going to stare at it, just in case! Okay! Hurry up and pull me up!"

The "rumbling" thunder in the sky still did not stop, and those lightning did not stop, Lu Tao was very worried that if he stayed in such a high place again, he would not be hit by lightning, he leaned down and stretched out his hand to Peony, even so, this very high wall still made Lu Tao's hand and Peony's height far apart.

Peony took a few steps back, and then a run, stepped on the bulge at the root of the wall, and jumped up, grabbed Lu Tao is hand, Lu Tao's wrist was strong, and pulled the peony up from mid-air, the two did not dare to stop, the same Lu Tao first climbed over the wall, and then took the peony on the other side.

On one side of the wall, there are some buildings that Lu Tao has never seen before, and only at the moment of lightning can he see their shadows in the background of the night, standing in the middle of them with a tall aftertaste.

"What kind of place is this?" Lu Tao turned around and asked, but saw that Peony was digging a pit in the ground, and couldn't help asking, "What are you doing?!"

"Dig a pit!"

Lu Tao: "......"

Of course he knew that Peony was digging a pit, and what Lu Tao wanted to know was what Peony was digging, but the next moment, Lu Tao knew.

Peony took out a square object wrapped in cloth from the pit and threw it to Lu Tao: "Take it, this is the real jade seal, see if you can use it later." ”

Lu Tao caught the half of the jade seal thrown by the peony, only to feel heavy in his hand, he learned the original peony to tie the half of the jade seal behind his waist, but found that it fell badly, so he had to put it back in his arms, although it also fell badly, but it was by no means inconvenient to move.

By the way, how do you look at it, how does Lu Tao think that the half of the counterfeit product that the peony handed over to the second prince Hongxi before will not be so heavy, does it mean that the second prince will not find out?

Perhaps seeing the suspicion on Lu Tao's face, Peony opened his mouth and explained: "You saw the person who followed the second prince, right?" The other half of the jade seal is on his body, those people have been burned out by drugs since they were children, and they can't tell the weight of the object at all, of course, they can't tell the physical pain, they use it to protect the owner It's no problem, but if you want to use it to do something that requires brains, I'm afraid it won't work, the second prince will definitely give me the half of the jade seal I gave him to the person next to him, the noble second prince will not be a coolie to carry heavy objects, and that person has absolutely no way to tell the difference in the weight of the two jade seals, so don't worry at all。 ”
