Chapter 57: Behind the Shadow

Yun Wuniang didn't speak again, because there seemed to be the sound of footsteps outside.

'Squeak' is the sound of the door shaft turning. Yun Wuniang said in her heart, there must be few people in this place. Because if someone is coming, it is difficult to stand such a harsh sound of the door opening and closing.

The footsteps in the room did not mean to stop at all, and it was obvious that the man was wandering back and forth in the house. Appears restless and extremely anxious. It seems that this person is waiting for someone.

After less than a cup of tea, there was another 'squeak'. It should have been the person he was waiting for came in. But obviously, this person's kung fu should be good. Because Yun Wuniang didn't hear his footsteps.

"You're here. "It's a man's voice, but it's a bit sharper than the average man's. He also used honorifics. Obviously, the latter person has a higher status.

"Hmm!" The man replied lightly, "How's it going?" The voice made Yun Wuniang feel familiar. But I can't remember where I've heard it again.

"It didn't work out. The man sighed before he said, "It seems that he does not have it in his hand." ”

"You can find out what clues. The man asked again.

"No, it's all irrelevant. The only gain is a girl surnamed Zhou. This girl has something to do with the Yun family and the Cheng family. There are some hidden things that should be known. This man reports.

"What about people. The man asked again.

"Taken away by the Rakshasa woman. The man was a little annoyed.

"Rubbish!" The man cursed softly.

Yun Wuniang said in her heart, it seems that the people here are not in the same group as the Taoist aunt called Rakshasa. I just don't know who took advantage of whom.

"Implement the second set of plans. The man said again. Immediately after, the door creaked again.

"Yes!" The man answered. Then the room was silent for half a day, and then the door was heard again. Yun Wuniang thought that everyone was gone. Song Chengming 'shhh

Sure enough, after waiting for a tea time, there were footsteps again, and the door 'creaked' again, and the footsteps slowly walked away. Until you can't hear it.

Yun Wuniang still didn't dare to move, looking at Song Chengming. Song Chengming took Yun Wuniang's hand and walked in the dark, and after a long time, he stopped. I saw Song Chengming take out a night pearl from his arms, emitting a white and faint light.

"Where is this? Yun Wuniang looked around and felt that this was like a secret room.

"It's safe to talk here. Song Chengming sat down on the stone bench before saying, "This is Yushu Palace." It is also the former East Palace. Tai = Emperor Zu built it for Emperor Tai = Zong, who was still the crown prince at the time. Later, my father, Prince Wenhui, grew up here. And over the years, it has clearly been deserted. ”

"It turned out to be the East Palace. Yun Wuniang was in awe. "Then today's Prince's East Palace is ......"

"Manjusri Palace was rebuilt. Song Chengming said with some disdain.

"The dark room here, the secret passage, you are all familiar with. Yun Wuniang asked.

"My grandfather left it to my father. But my father was a man whom everyone called a gentleman. Since he is a gentleman, he never disdains this dark thing. Song Chengming's smile was a little complicated.

"You want to say that his personality is not at all suitable for the position of the crown prince. But many people love Prince Wenhui because of his character. Yun Wuniang couldn't help asking.

"The throne is never supposed to belong to good people. Song Chengming's eyes seemed to want to pass through this dark room and go to see the real Yushu Palace.

"But it must not be given to the bad guys. Yun Wuniang couldn't help answering.

Song Chengming was stunned at first, then couldn't help but smile and asked, "Do you think today's saint is a good person or a bad person." ”

"He's a man who can't help himself. Yun Wuniang sighed, "He is also a person who is prone to self-aggrandizement." ”

"Swelling. Song Chengming muttered a sentence before he said, "This is a good statement." ”

Yun Wuniang was anxious to know the situation outside, so she said, "What's going on outside." I want to go back as much as I can. Let someone find out and it will be broken. ”

"Don't worry. Prince Jane will tell your grandmother. You were taken by me to take care of you. Song Chengming explained.

"That's all right for everyone in my family. That's good. Yun Wuniang's heart was relieved.

"You know whose hands the Sea King's Order is. Song Chengming asked again.

"There's no one else but you. Yun Wuniang snorted, "Emperor Tai=Zong is not comparable to the first emperor." He only got one son in his life, how could he not arrange a retreat for this lone seedling to protect himself. It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, and he didn't count his son's temperament. All his plans were in vain. Still, it's okay that you're still here, but luckily you're not crooked. ”

"I've met Mrs. Kim. Song Chengming was noncommittal to Yun Wuniang's words, said as if changing the topic, and then looked at Yun Wuniang.

Yun Wuniang's eyes narrowed, "You want to use the Sea King Order, and then use my mother to work for you." ”

"You overestimate the power of the Sea King's Order. Song Chengming said with a smile. Looking at Wu Niang's round eyes, his heart moved, "What, do you want to take back this token and let the Jin family have no constraints at all." ”

"Can't you. Yun Wuniang asked. "You can mention whatever you want. If you just need money, I can help you earn it. But there is only one, return the Sea King Order to my mother. I don't want my mother to be a tool for anyone. ”

"It's not impossible to go back, it's just ...... Do you agree to any conditions? Song Chengming asked.

"Yes, if I can. Yun Wuniang's answer was categorical.

Song Chengming's eyes flashed, and the corners of his mouth curled: "This can be considered." I won't use the Neptune Decree until I've figured out what I want you to do. ”

Yun Wuniang breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at the four walls uncomfortably, "Isn't it time for us to go out?" ”

"Hmm!" Song Chengming stood up, he didn't know which mechanism he twisted, and a small door appeared on the wall, and there was a dark passage along the door.

Yun Wuniang followed Song Chengming's footsteps and asked, "Do you know who Rakshasa is?" ”

"I don't know. Song Chengming sighed, "But the people brought by this rakshasa are all women, so it should be easy to check." ”

Yun Wuniang nodded. Then he asked, "The voice of the person who came back just now seems to have heard it somewhere." But I can't really remember. But the person who came first and left should be the father-in-law in the palace. His voice is truly special. ”

"You have a good memory. Song Chengming couldn't help but praise. Cai said: "The one who came later, who had good light skills and couldn't hear the sound of footsteps, was called Li Shan." ”

"Li Shan, this name is so familiar. Yun Wuniang wrinkled her brows and said, "I must have heard it somewhere." ”

"The crown prince in charge of the East Palace is Li Shan. Song Chengming said lightly.

"What!" Yun Wuniang was taken aback, stumbled under her feet, and almost fell. "What did you just say. ”

Song Chengming frowned and helped Yun Wuniang, "You are careful of your step." What's surprising about this. He smiled, "If no one cooperates, how could the emperor choose to do a dojo during the Lantern Festival Palace banquet." Think about it, how many people have to cooperate with this dojo, Qin Tianjian and the Internal Affairs Office, is it possible that no one will cooperate to complete it? Therefore, the identity of the person behind this must be unusual. But at this moment, the prince was grounded. I can't leave the East Palace. It's a mess of porridge outside, does it have anything to do with the prince? Even the one who shot was not from the East Palace. After a few turns, he took advantage of the woman named Rakshasa who didn't know what the origin was. If we hadn't heard Li Shan's voice, who would have thought that this would have something to do with the prince. ”

"The prince wants to take this opportunity to find the Sea King Order. Yun Wuniang gasped: "Is he in such a hurry now?" The emperor is still in his prime. ”

"If it weren't for the emperor's too strict precautions against the prince, who would be willing to take risks as a prince. Song Chengming smiled, "You know why the prince was grounded. ”

"Why. Yun Wuniang couldn't help but think of Sanniang turning around in Yun Shungong's study to inquire about the East Palace. Is it really related to Sanniang?

"The prince will be a beautiful woman at night, and when he goes back, he will kneel down and beg the emperor for marriage. Song Chengming's words were smiling.

"Night party beauty...... Yun Wuniang was a little stammering, "This beauty...... She...... She won't be my third sister. ”

"Hmm. Song Chengming turned around, the light was dim, and he could only see the girl's two eyes staring round.

"Prince, this is too ...... Vile. Yun Wuniang scolded. Let's just say, with Sanniang's rational temperament, is she doing something that you know will not have a good result. As a result, the prince took the initiative to hook up. Sanniang's swaying heart is not biased towards the prince. Coupled with the turmoil of being grounded for marriage proposal, Sanniang's heart had to think that because of her, the prince was rejected by the emperor. Such a man who is willing to sacrifice for her is definitely worth her hesitation.

Song Chengming did not speak. In his opinion, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. It's all people's choice.

Yun Wuniang's mind was all occupied by Sanniang and the prince's affairs, I don't know how to go, and when I came back to my senses, I actually appeared behind the pavilion not far from Cining Palace.

Just as he was about to go out, he saw a familiar figure in the pavilion.

Big sister!

Wu Niang almost screamed. She really entered the palace. So, is she with those Taoist aunts? She was obviously handed over to her brother to take care of, how could she run here alone, and how did she get mixed up with those Taoist aunts. Also, what is the matter with the palace maid's clothes on her body now.

Could it be the arrangement of my mother and brother?

Did my mother and that rakshasa know each other?

Or Yuan Niang ran out by herself.

But it's possible. I know very well who my brother's side is. It is impossible for a weak woman to get out of under their noses.

Yun Wuniang only felt a splitting headache. What the hell is going on.

Does my mother have anything to do with today's events?

Could it be that the mother also wants to get back the Sea King's order, and she doesn't want to listen to anyone's order. But it's not right, since the King of Liao has already met his mother, it is impossible for them not to know each other's hole cards.

When she came back to her senses, there was no trace of Yuan Niang. When he turned his head to look, he saw Song Chengming looking at the pavilion thoughtfully.

"Stay here and don't move. Song Chengming whispered.

Yun Wuniang nodded, indicating that she would never move.

Only then did I see Song Chengming gently skimming the flowers and trees and entering the pavilion. Then around the pillar, the stone bench, and the place where Yuan Niang had just stood, they all looked carefully, and knocked them with their hands from time to time.

Yun Wuniang said in her heart: "Could it be that Yuan Niang disappeared in place." In this way, isn't there a secret passage in this palace, which even Song Chengming doesn't know. ”

Song Chengming came back quickly, and then said with a wry smile: "It's me who underestimated Mrs. Jin." ”

Yun Wuniang's heart jumped, "Is it really related to my mother?" ”

I can only ask Mrs. Jin herself. Song Chengming sighed.

"My mother, why is this ......" Yun Wuniang was very puzzled.

"Revenge! Hatred of the extermination. Song Chengming took a deep breath, "This matter is complicated, I'll tell you when I have the opportunity." But what role did Mrs. Kim play in it? I can't see it yet. But I see, the prince must not know that there are still people involved in secret. ”

Yun Wuniang gasped, "The descendants of the King of the East China Sea have all been ......"

"The king of the East China Sea made a promise, and the promise he made should never be made. Song Chengming said with some difficulty: "The Jin family did not obey the orders of the first emperor, so they ......"

"So, they were all killed. And my mother is the fish that slipped through the net. Yun Wuniang looked at Song Chengming, "Could it be you, the one who wants to listen to the Jin family." ”

Song Chengming suddenly didn't know how to answer this question.

Yes, the Jin family kept their promise and waited for the summons of Prince Wenhui, but what they were waiting for was the first emperor's death order. The Jin family's lineage, because of this promise, was almost severed.

He opened his mouth and couldn't say a word......
