Gu Zhirong was secretly wondering, what are these black-clothed men doing, is it possible that they have the leisure to invite them to drink?

The man next to him muffled his voice and said, "No! ”

Gu Zhirong was stunned for a moment, and at this moment, dozens of torches had already been thrown in outside. When the torch met the liquor, it immediately burned more and more violently, and there were some flammable books around it, and suddenly the flames flew higher than people, and rushed towards the place where Gu Zhirong and the others were hiding.

"It looks like they're not going to give up, they're going to burn us to death in this library, and we're going to have to get out of here. The man held Gu Zhirong's hand tightly, and said hurriedly while walking away from the flames, "Let's go to the center of the hall, there is a mechanism that can open the secret passage underground, and we will go out from there." ”

Gu Zhirong involuntarily followed him, his big hand was strong and powerful, warm and dry, and a trace of it was transmitted to her palm, and her heart gradually settled down. There is even a feeling that she is not afraid of any big disaster in front of her, as long as he is around.

The two of them quickly ran towards the center of the hall of the library pavilion, but this royal library was too big, the two of them hurried slowly, and they couldn't get rid of the speed of the fire running around, no matter where they went, they were surrounded by raging fire, Gu Zhirong felt a wave of heat rushing towards him, and felt as if even his eyebrows were about to burn.

At this moment, the huge beam on the roof made a "squeak" sound, Gu Zhirong looked up, and saw that above his head, tongues of fire were constantly licking the wooden beam, and the beam was burned black. It is in danger of collapsing at any time.

"Let's go. The man said hurriedly, pulling Gu Zhirong and rushing over. As soon as they walked on their front feet, the crossbar hit straight behind them. Crashing into the marble floor, sparks in all directions.

"It's dangerous. Gu Zhirong stroked his chest, and as soon as he took a breath, he heard the man in his ear yell, "Be careful!"

Before Gu Zhirong could understand what was going on, he saw a huge black object fall straight from the top of his head. She froze for a moment, and it was too late to turn around and run away. In the moment of lightning. Someone pounced on her and protected her.

A loud noise exploded around him, and ashes flew all around. Dust and fog were raised, and it turned out that the surrounding bookshelves were burned to pieces, and one bookcase collapsed after another. In my ears, I heard the man snort.

"Are you injured?" Gu Zhirong said eagerly. The two were so close. She smelled blood. Sharing hardships and hardships, she couldn't help but feel more intimate with that person, and he has been protecting herself along the way, which has made her trust him a little more.

"It's fine. The man seemed to wipe the corners of his lips, and two words burst out from between his teeth, and quickly stood up, and without saying much, he looked around in the firelight. Originally. They had reached the center of the main hall.

Soon, he found the location of the mechanism. As soon as I pressed it, the unmarked floor in the center of the main hall suddenly moved to the sides, revealing a hole.

Gu Zhirong was shocked, she never expected that the exit of the tunnel would be opened on the floor. And these white marble floors are tightly sealed before they are opened, and there is no trace of flaw.

She had to admire the craftsmanship of this authentic craftsman.

The man took a piece of wood, took the fire, made it into a torch, and then pulled Gu Zhirong into the cave quickly. The mechanism activated, and the hole was closed again.

When entering the entrance of the cave, Gu Zhirong did not forget the black-clothed people outside, glanced out through the firelight, and saw that there were many fewer people outside, presumably those black-clothed people must have thought that it was impossible for them to escape from such a big fire, so they relaxed their surveillance.

The cave was pitch black, and with the light of torches, the surrounding hall was much brighter. Gu Zhirong followed the man and walked down the stone steps.

Throwing off those vicious black-clothed people, Gu Zhirong could finally exhale a big breath, and finally couldn't help but ask, "How did you know that there is a mechanism in this place of the Library Pavilion?"

The man turned around, the orange fire light reflected on his young and handsome face, and there seemed to be a hidden smile in his deep eyes, but his tone was teasing: "I grew up here since I was a child, and I spend almost half a month in the library cabinet, how can I not know that there are organs in the library cabinet?"

Gu Zhirong looked at the man's face and gasped: "It turned out to be you!"

turned out to be the current crown prince.

No wonder she didn't recognize it all along, one was because the windows around the library were closed, and the light was too weak for her to see clearly. The second is to escape from the fire, disgraced, embarrassed, and too far from the glamorous and beautiful image of the past.

"We have to hurry up, this secret passage must also be known by those people, we have to get out as soon as possible, so that it is safe. Today's prince has changed his arrogant and uninhibited appearance in the past, and he speaks in an orderly manner, with a cold look in the past, replaced by a dignified face.

Gu Zhirong nodded and walked inside after him.

As soon as she relaxed, what had just happened replayed in her mind like a movie. She still can't believe that Cai Qing, who has been by her side for many years, died all of a sudden. She couldn't forget that the girl, who was only fifteen or sixteen years old, called her before she died: "Miss, you run." This faithful servant still had her safety in mind until his death.

Gu Zhirong felt a huge sadness in his heart, closed his eyes, and let the tears flow happily, anyway, there were only the two of them in this tunnel, and she was walking behind him, so she couldn't see her expression at all.

Since she came here, every step of the way, tears seem to have become superfluous, today, she feels that she will be heartbroken, will cry, will be sad can not be suppressed.

However, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong.

The most suspicious was the bearded man. She remembered that he was wearing a dark purple Ayara wide-sleeved robe, covered in embroidery. In the Jokhang Kingdom, those who can wear purple are all people with status and status. And the man was very familiar with the palace, which can be seen from the fact that he waited in the bamboo forest in the library and then dragged himself to the bamboo forest to prepare for indecent acts.

A person of noble status, who can enter and leave the palace freely, is also very familiar with the palace, and is older than the emperor......

A person immediately popped up in Gu Zhirong's mind: Shou Wang!

I heard that this Shouwang was born from a very unfavored concubine in the palace, and the emperor came to this world. However, this concubine is also a miserable woman, and she didn't even have a stable woman around her when she gave birth. finally called a stable woman to come over, but I encountered dystocia again, and it hurt for three days and three nights, and finally gave birth desperately, and died of blood collapse.

Because of dystocia, this Shouwang has suffered sequelae since he was a child, he seemed to be quite smart and cute when he was young, and then he grew older, but he was not as good as when he was a child, his brain became more and more unbright, and he couldn't read books. Later, he was given the title of King Shou, and he lived a good life, and he was regarded as the last idle and rich prince.

It's just that this idle and rich prince has a not-so-good problem, that is, he is lustful, and he also likes the younger, the younger the better.

And she gradually figured out why King Shou appeared near the library pavilion. If it weren't for Cen Guifei secretly sending someone to follow her and then report to King Shou, how could King Shou know that he had entered the Library Pavilion, and specially waited outside for him to come out?

Now I think about why the eldest lady is so anxious to heal the wound on her face, that is, she is looking forward to her accident at Concubine Cen's birthday party, and is forced to commit herself to Prince Shou, and then swallow the wealth of her own house......!
