- Hearing the call, Li Shi came back to her senses, because her mind was deeply trapped in distant memories just now, and she was a little embarrassed for a while, she smiled a little reluctantly, suddenly sighed again, and said slowly: "The poor woman touched His Royal Highness's noble body, so thin, the poor woman couldn't help but be a little ......"

Regarding his own inadequacy, Wang Hong didn't want to mention it, so he skipped it with a faint smile. He chose an insignificant word at random, nodded at the woman in the cloth skirt standing beside him with his gaze, and then asked: "This is my maid, she doesn't know your identity, that's why she made a move on you, didn't hurt you just now, right?" ”

"Servant girl Xiaoxing, there is something reckless and offensive, and I ask Senior Li for forgiveness." Xiaoxing, a woman in a cloth skirt, hurriedly bowed down to Li.

Li Shi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay, with a girl like you staying by His Highness's side, it's more than too little to say anything." ”

Hearing the woman's words, a trace of sorrow appeared on Xiaoxing's face. Just now, she was in the secret passage, only separated by a thin wall of wooden planks, and she had already heard the conversation between Concubine De and the prince in the inner room of the dormitory clearly. She faintly realized that she was afraid that it would be difficult for her to come back, even if the prince promised to find a way to take her back just now.

Sure enough, before Li's words fell, she saw the prince shaking his head slightly, and said softly: "Xiaoxing is no longer my maid. ”

Li's expression was sluggish, but she soon found that as the prince's maidservant, she should at least be dressed in finely woven ribbons, but the little star girl was dressed in coarse cloth clothes of a folk girl.

In addition, there was a dark red mark on the corner of the girl's forehead. Under the light of not too bright lights. Li Shi, who had just woken up from fainting, thought it was a kind of palace dress at first glance, and the red was painted on his cheeks. But if you look closely, it's not hard to see that it's actually a broken scar.

Although the candidates for the palace maids are not required to be as beautiful as flowers, their faces must be born upright, and their bodies must not have zài defects, which is the basic criterion for selection.

In the secret passage of the wardrobe just now, Li Shi's hands were reversed and clamped, which made her qi and blood blocked, and she was dizzy. But. She can still hear and remember some of the conversation between Concubine De and the prince. Li Shi didn't remember any sentences about Xiaoxing in those conversations, and she couldn't help but wonder: "Why is this?" Did Little Star Girl do something wrong? ”

"If she did something wrong, it was probably me." Wang Hong glanced at Xiaoxing deeply. After a moment of silence, he said calmly, "You should have heard it just now." Your handkerchief was taken by Concubine De. If she wants to check, you can't avoid it. If she wanted to check on someone, even if it was just a handful of that person's used comb. You can also sniff out the clues from the hair oil on the comb. ”

"Xiaoxing knows that in the future, Xiaoxing will find a secret place and live quietly." Xiaoxing hung his head. Although she had already prepared in her heart, this time she secretly entered the palace and told the prince that she had searched for information in the north for three years, and would never come back after that, but when this matter was announced by the prince who she had served for several years, she still couldn't suppress a sadness in her heart.

When he saw his personal maid Xiaoxing return three years after leaving the palace, Wang Hong's original intention was to wash away the sins he deliberately inflicted on her three years ago, and then take her back to him. Unexpectedly, because of Concubine De's surprise visit, he was forced to abandon this plan. If he wanted him to say these words to Xiaoxing in person, he wouldn't feel sad in his heart.

The two of them said it to this point, and Li Shi on the side could probably understand it, and at the same time, she could also hear that there was a hint of reluctance between the words of the two people.

Once, Li Shi also had a lot of reluctance to the death of his young lady, which was goodbye. And life and death are often inextricably linked, so these two words are often put together, although some people are alive, after parting ways and going retrograde, they are gradually drifting away, and it is difficult to see each other again in life.

After a little deliberation, Li Shi said: "Your Highness, in fact, the poor woman has been thinking about it for the past few days, if she stays in His Highness's palace like this again, I am afraid that it will inevitably bring trouble to His Highness." You might as well go out of the palace with the little star girl and stay in a secluded place for a while, if Your Highness has a call, of course, the poor woman can also answer the call at any time, which is also a safe plan for each other. ”

"This idea of yours is good, but ...... Perhaps there is a better way out of this matter. Wang Hong hesitated, and suddenly changed direction, "Do you know where that secret passage comes from?" ”

"Provenance?" Xiao Xing's eyes flashed with suspicion, and he immediately understood, and immediately said: "Because Xiao Xing also broke through the entrance of the secret passage for the first time, and he was worried about His Highness's side, he couldn't continue to go deeper." But just now, Xiaoxing was standing at the entrance of the secret passage, and he could feel a light breeze pouring into the depths of the passage, as if this passage was not shallow. ”

"That's right. If you want to dig a wall and drill a tunnel, there must be loose soil discharged, but I rarely leave Huayang Palace, and I used to sleep lightly at night, but I didn't notice it at all, and this loose soil could only be sent out from the other side. Wang Hong pondered for a while before he continued: "At the back of this room, leaning on a chess house, I have been there many times, but I feel that the four walls of the chess house are very normal, so where does this secret passage space come from?" ”

Li Shi suddenly said at this time: "It can also be a double-layer wall." ”

Wang Hong was puzzled: "Double? How is that fixed? ”

"This double-layer wall can be divided into horizontal and longitudinal double-layers. If His Highness had called a craftsman to measure the total length of the hall, or the width of the bedroom, and then compared it with the chess house, the result would have been obtained. Li Shi racked his brains and explained with great difficulty, and finally said: "In the early years, the prince spent all night at the desk making drawings, and the poor woman would enter his study every other day, or add some charcoal fire for heating in winter, or add some herbal tea to quench thirst in summer and summer. Sometimes, when he was disturbed and his train of thought was interrupted, he simply stopped writing for a while, and casually explained something to the poor woman. But the poor woman doesn't remember much. ”

"It's okay, you can remember so much, it can already help us a lot." From Li's first rough explanation, Wang Hong had already learned a piece of information with extraordinary significance, and he was surprised. He also asked Li Shi to repeat what he had just said.

After carefully sorting out this explanation in his mind, Wang Hong showed a happy smile on his face, and said slowly: "If this idea is true, then this secret passage may have existed since the beginning of the palace, and it has little to do with the design of Concubine De. ”

Xiao Xing had also understood at this time that this secret passage was not carved out of the inherent wall, but had long been included in the ranks of architectural design, and belonged to the outer wall of the wall.

If you count the construction time of Huayang Palace, it will have to be pushed back to a long time ago. The dormitory faces east and receives the morning sun at the earliest hours of the day. Even in the cold winter, it can bear more warmth. The pine forest behind the palace is like a cover, and it can avoid the scorching heat of the west. This palace occupies the foundation of a princess's dormitory in the previous dynasty, and the current emperor has pushed the building full of incense grease powder to build a new Huayang Palace with a rather elegant style and warmth for the second son who is frail.

The age of this palace. Almost the same age as the Southern Zhao Dynasty. When the palace was newly built. Concubine De was not as favored as she is now. I am afraid that I am unable to instruct the core officials of the Ministry of Industry to secretly tamper with the drawings, and after revising the design draft, they have kept it secret for so many years.

It's just that after the outer wall of this wall was built, it hid traces in a very secret way. There is something strange in this kind of cover-up. Since it has long been in the scope of architectural design, why should not the people who live and use this building know? What secrets must be sealed?

Thinking of this, Xiao Xing couldn't help asking: "If the palace was designed like this at the beginning of construction, then what is the significance of such construction?" ”

Wang Hong didn't explain, but just handed his gaze to Li. Li Shi thought for a while, and then explained: "The construction of double-layer walls is generally to block the outdoor heat and exposure in summer, but this kind of wall seems to be mostly built on the periphery, and looking at the approximate location of the secret passage in the wardrobe just now, it seems to be in the middle partition wall. ”

"Instead of speculating for no reason, let's go and see for yourself where that secret passage comes from." Wang Hong, who was silent for a moment, suddenly spoke, and as soon as he finished speaking, he stood up. Mentally so engrossed in the sudden passage that he rose abruptly, and before he could close the thin blanket on his shoulders, the silky softness of the fine plush woven blanket slid down his thin but straight shoulders to his ankles.

Xiaoxing hurriedly bent down to pick up the blanket, and as soon as she stood up straight, she saw that Wang Hong had already walked quickly to the side of the screen, so she had to step up and chase after it.

Wang Hong opened the wardrobe door and scanned it again, but still didn't find anything, so he raised the doubt he had when he opened the cabinet door before: "I still can't see what secret passages can be in this cabinet, how did you get through?" ”

Although Wang Hong was thin, he was very tall, and Xiao Xing stood in front of him, and his forehead was no more than his lips.

Xiao Xing tiptoed and lifted the silk blanket in his hand onto Wang Hong's shoulder again, and pinched the two corners of the blanket to tie a knot in front of his neck, making the blanket a simple cloak that could not be thrown off lightly. After doing this, she opened her mouth to explain the secret of the secret passage: "The door of the secret passage has been specially controlled, and one person cannot open it, so two people need to step on both ends of the cabinet on the left and right. ”

"That's really hard to spot." When Wang Hong heard this, a hint of novelty appeared in his eyes, and he said with a smile: "Generally, only clothes are placed in the closet, even if palace maids usually come to clean up clothes, there is no need to stand in." And hiding people like me in it, and hiding two at once, is also a very rare thing. Xiaoxing, am I lucky to be hit? ”

At this time, Xiaoxing's face did not have a relaxed expression, because she had already seen that the prince was really going to go in and find out.

"Your Highness, are you really going to go in?" Xiao Xing's eyes were full of worry, "It's better to pick a few reliable guards and go in again another day." ”

Wang Hong had already stood on the side of the cabinet, his eyes pointed to the other end of the cabinet, he didn't speak, but the meaning was clearly expressed, and there was no room for change.

Xiaoxing knows the temper of this prince very well, although he has a weak physique and lives a simple life all the year round, but in his body, there is a very strong courage and bravery. An unknown threat is extremely difficult to fear him.

Perhaps it was because of his father's extremely high position and extensive protection that he was able to act without fear. But there is also a possibility that this is the character he inherited from his father, and it is the character that a prince should have.

However, the fact that an individual is not afraid of danger does not mean that danger does not exist. No matter how bold the prince is, he only has a flesh and blood body.

After struggling inwardly for a long time, in the face of the prince, Xiaoxing finally chose to take a step back. But her obedience was not simple, she ran to the couch in front of the screen, opened the crack drawer that she was so familiar with, and took out the Imperial Flying Fish Dagger from it. Although this dagger is short, it is sharp and can cut off gold and stone lightly, and it can be regarded as the most powerful self-defense weapon in Huayang Palace. took the flying fish dagger, and Xiaoxing picked up the triangular glass lamp on the table again. Only then did he go back to the back of the screen.

Put the Flying Fish Dagger in the hands of the prince. Xiao Xing broke off two of the three candles on the triangular glass lamp, took one for himself, and handed another one to Li Shi, while explaining: "Hold the candle in your hand." than holding it on a lampholder. ”

Li Shi nodded when he heard this.

If you wait a while, you will really encounter a lurking attack in the secret passage. In the midst of a fierce fight. It is indeed easy to cause the candle to detach from the lamp holder. This kind of beautiful thing can often only be used in a harmonious environment.

After making all the preparations he could think of, Xiao Xing lit the candles that the two of them held in their hands. He also told the prince: "Wait a while, the maidservant girl will walk in front, and Senior Li will walk behind, if Your Highness sees that the candle flame in my hand has a tendency to weaken, it means that the breath in this secret passage is stagnant, and you can't continue to move forward." ”

Seeing that the prince nodded, Xiaoxing stepped into the wardrobe, stood in the other corner of the wardrobe, and kicked lightly.

There was a slight sound of metal "gridding" similar to that developed by coiled iron bullets through the cabinet wall, and the wooden planks on the wall side of the wardrobe "Bang! A sound broke from the middle, and when the two ends of the income were unknown, revealing a large void in the middle, Xiao Xing said quickly: "After the door of the secret passage is opened, it will pause for about three breaths, and it will automatically close!" ”

After that, she was the first to step into the secret passage, Wang Hong followed, and when Li's heel had just crossed the low hurdle at the secret passage, the two doors of the secret passage, which were covered by wardrobe planks as a surface, were "booming!" "It slammed shut.

Standing in the middle of the secret passage with two brick walls, Wang Hong had also felt the breeze that Xiao Xing had said before, that trace of activity in the secret passage. Looking at the candle flame in Xiaoxing's hand trembling slightly, Wang Hong said: "It seems that the air in this secret passage is active, and there is no such thing as stagnation." ”

Xiaoxing didn't make much defense about this, and only said briefly: "After all, it's the first time to enter this kind of place, so it's always good to be careful." ”

Wang Hong just smiled indifferently at this, he knew that if Xiaoxing wanted to be serious about one thing, the four cows would not be able to turn around. After a pause, Wang Hong turned his head to look at Li Shi behind him, and asked with some puzzlement: "If this secret passage is really built in the middle of two walls, now it seems that it should be built in depth, but why do I often go to the chess house next to this wall, but I never notice that there are many houses in that house?" ”

"Maybe it's the placement of the utensils in the chess room, which is a little misleading about the perspective of the people in it." Li Shi tried to think about the strange thoughts about this kind of thing that Lin Shan occasionally talked about when he was chatting with her, and she suddenly raised a hand in front of her eyes, separated her five fingers, and then continued: "There are blind spots in the line of sight, for example, a poor woman can see the face of Her Highness completely through her fingers, but from the angle from which Her Highness is standing, she cannot see the poor woman's face through her fingers. ”

Wang Hong really wanted to follow Li's practice and raise his hand to verify this statement. However, he is no longer a child, his impulsiveness is gradually controlled by reason, and as a prince, his own style and cultivation that he has trained for more than ten years will also imperceptibly change some behavioral characteristics.

He smiled slightly, and agreed with Li Shi's statement, and the hand hanging down his side only moved his fingertips, and there was no other movement.

Li Shi also lowered his hand, looked at the prince with a smile and said: "However, Your Highness already knows the mystery behind this wall today, and I think when you enter the chess house again in the future, you will find that the items in the chess room are deliberately arranged." ”

Wang Hong smiled and nodded: "If you see through the things first, and have a plan in your heart, you will no longer believe in the things that are concealed, this is the principle." ”

When the two of them talked about these things, their steps gradually slowed down. And when the two of them finished talking and looked ahead, they saw that they were not much behind Xiaoxing, who was walking in front, because Xiaoxing had already stopped.

The front end of the secret passage is not unusual, but after walking a little deeper, Wang Hong and the three of them found that this secret passage is not always forward, it is not only tortuous, but also strangely folded underground.

Looking at the road ahead, which was also blocked by a brick wall, and the wooden cover with a large gap under the wall. Wang Hong hesitated and said, "Could it be that the exit of the secret passage is underground?" ”

Xiaoxing said disapprovingly: "Where is there a road underground? If it leads to the underground, it is not called an exit. ”

Except for insects and rats, which live in burrows in the ground - and even then, they often crawl to the surface to breathe and feed, and the underground is only a permanent place for people to live after death, where there is no way to live.

Wang Hong hesitated for a moment, then squatted down in front of the wooden board embedded in the ground, and then tapped the wooden board with the flying fish dagger with the leather sheath in his hand. Hearing the sound of the hollow, Wang Hong pulled out the flying fish dagger and prepared to pry the plank.

"Your Highness, don't move." Seeing this scene, Xiao Xing hurriedly stopped, "This is a secret passage." Just the mouth of the organ is very elegant. I'm afraid there is another mystery in it, Your Highness must be careful. Let's wait for the maid to take a look around and see if there are any new trigger points, maybe this plank can open on its own. ”

"It's fine." Wang Hong stood up. The hand holding the Flying Fish Dagger flipped over. Hand the dagger to the star. "Give me the candle for now, you take this."

Xiao Xing hesitated slightly for a moment, and then exchanged words.

Xiaoxing was very wary of the wooden plank embedded in the ground. After Wang Hong gave her permission and took a few steps back, she reached a position where she thought she would not be easily injured by the crossbow arrows that might be stored under the plank, and then she held the flying fish dagger and began to test the wall near the plank.

After beating it repeatedly, all I got was the sound of a solid wall. Because I don't know if there is an unknowing palace maid in the house outside the wall at this time, Xiaoxing is also afraid of knocking too hard.

Her attention eventually returned to the wooden board on the ground, only the board was noticeably hollow when it was struck.

Looking at this board, gradually Xiaoxing also had the idea of prying it open.

But she didn't choose to do it in the end.

When he used to serve by the prince's side, he benefited from this prince who liked to read, and Xiaoxing also read many books, most of which were regarded by the prince as a strange technique on the side. Although the prince did not read such books, he was taken advantage of by the most relied on maids, and he could find as many as he wanted, so as to kill the boring time when he could only stay with him in a courtyard.

According to the usual records of the mechanism technique in the Qimen no Shu, the more complex the mechanism, the more there is a kind of mystery of mutual Sasuke. If you break a certain mechanism, it may paralyze the entire group of organs. For example, in the secret passage where she is at this time, if she uses forceful means to pry open the covering board on this tunnel, the price she will pay for this may be the closure of the entrance door in the closet just now.

These are still common problems of ordinary traps, and there is still an extremely sinister category in traps, mostly used in the tombs of nobles who have sealed up rich funerary treasures. If this secret passage belongs to this kind of location where a sinister mechanism is set up, then the result of forcibly priing open this plank may be that the four walls instantly turn into a crossbow array of stray arrows.

In an instant, Xiaoxing's mind had all kinds of thoughts intertwined, but in the end, only one thought as small as a firefly but unusually bright froze, and gradually expanded and became clear.

Her eyes froze, and the hand holding the Flying Fish Dagger suddenly grasped, and quickly knocked on a brick on the left wall of her body, and at the same time, a staggered seven-star step slipped out of the soles of her feet, and at a very fast speed, the dagger struck a brick on the right wall.

"Ding!"

"Ding!"

The sound of the high-quality metal body of the Flying Fish Dagger, which had been forged by thousands of hammers, was surprisingly crisp, like the sound of fine porcelain colliding.

But Xiaoxing did this at this time, not to listen to the sound, every time she knocked out left and right, it was obviously matched with a pair of double rings, trying to shorten the time distance between the two rings.

Her somewhat thin figure was moving at a rapid pace from left to right and then from right to left in a secret passage that could accommodate about three people standing side by side, overlapping shadows that made people feel a little dazzled.

Fortunately, Wang Hong stood far enough, otherwise the candle flame in his hand would not have just trembled.

In the past, she could often see Lin Shan practicing swordsmanship in the small courtyard of Xingjia Village, and the soft sword in Lin Shan's hand would also appear like a fishnet-like phantom in the rapid dance, but the footwork on the soles of his feet was not as complex and intertwined as the girl in front of him.

After watching for a moment, Li Shi couldn't help but wonder and said, "What is the intention of Miss Xiaoxing to do this?" ”

When she looked at the prince, she saw that the prince had already turned his gaze away from the phantom. Apparently he was already a little dazzled.

Hearing Li's question, the second prince Wang Hong raised his gaze slightly and explained: "She's trying." ”

Lai Shi could no longer understand this way of trying.

She only felt that the girl had been tossing left and right for so long, and she must have been very tired. Faced with this situation, she could not completely maintain a bystander attitude, and after hesitating for a while, she finally said, "Is there any place for the poor woman to help her?" ”

"For tricks, Xiaoxing only knows a little bit about it." The prince shook his head, "On this basis, if others rush to interfere. It only adds to the confusion. ”

Li Shi said no more. But before she continued to look at the figure that was about five paces away, she gradually clenched her sleeves, and seemed to become a little anxious.

And Tong Guò just said two short sentences. The second prince, Wang Hong, suddenly realized some differences between the two types of people inside and outside the palace.

People who live in an environment outside the palace. There is a harmony of helping each other in body and mind. Perhaps not entirely. It was the kindness of the woman in front of her who played a greater guiding role. And if you live in the environment of the palace, in the face of the scene in front of you, most people will show indifference within the rules.

But. The attitude of abiding by the rules cannot be said to be wrong. According to local conditions, rules are required to manage the servants in the palace.

After waiting for a while, there was still no movement around the secret passage, but the speed of the little star of the cloth skirt gradually slowed down.

Watching until this time, Wang Hong opened his mouth to persuade him: "I've been trying for so long, and there is no result, you might as well rest for a while, and then try the rest." ”

Xiaoxing listened to the prince's persuasion, and the figure that was constantly jumping left and right settled in one place. Half-squatting on the ground, she gasped for a while, and when her breath was a little even, she raised her eyes to look at the prince, and said with some annoyance: "The maid is incompetent, His Royal Highness Lao has been waiting for a long time." This secret passage is damp and simple, I don't know how long I will be tired of His Highness standing......"

"Could it be that you're going to go out and move a chair in before you try again?" Wang Hong first joked, then he smiled, and then said: "Give you another moment, if you still can't get the result, the matter will be put aside for the time being." Aja is guarding the dormitory, but I don't know if there will be other visitors to Huayang Palace tonight, he may not be able to hold it, so he can't delay for a long time. ”

The reason for Wang Hong's words was clear, but when Xiaoxing heard it, he became a little anxious, and immediately said: "How can this work, can you let this secret passage that does not know the depth of it stay in the bedroom where His Highness lives?" ”

When Wang Hong heard this, he suddenly raised his eyebrows and asked: "Since you have this intention, then why did you dissuade me just now and not come to check here?" ”

"The maidservant is afraid that His Highness will encounter danger in this secret passage in an unknown situation." Speaking of this, Xiao Xing's gaze dropped slightly, "This kind of thing can be done by the maid alone." ”

"Alright." Wang Hong raised his hand, of course he would not doubt Xiaoxing's loyalty, but he also did not want to continue to discuss this topic more. It was a matter of his determination that he had to go back to the inner room of the dormitory.

After he roughly determined that this secret passage had nothing to do with Concubine De, thinking of the several chief officials of the Ministry of Engineering who majored in this Huayang Palace more than ten years ago, he suddenly remembered someone just now. If this person was in the construction team at the time, then this secret passage may have many uses, but it could not have been used against him.

When Huayang Palace was built more than ten years ago, Wang Hong was just a child, and he didn't remember much about the whole process of building Huayang Palace. However, such important information related to the construction of the imperial family's dormitory, no matter how long the time has passed, as long as the lord of Nanzhao is still a member of his royal family, this information can be found in the archives of the Ministry of Industry.

Just now he insisted on coming in to take a look, because he suspected that this secret passage had an ill-intentioned use, and now this can be roughly ruled out, so whether to find out today, or to send someone to investigate thoroughly in the future, there is no need to enforce a time charter.

- What's more, if this secret passage is really the work of that person, with Xiao Xing's shallow understanding of the secret technique of the Qi Gate, the possibility that she can touch the door of this secret passage today is even more slim.

"A moment." Wang Hong repeated what he had said earlier, paused slightly, and then continued: "At this point in today's matter, I am also a little tired. If this secret passage had been designed in the drawings at the beginning of the construction of the palace, it would not be a secret that cannot be traced. Another day, I went to the Ministry of Industry to look through the old year's files, and I could see the difference. ”

Seeing that the prince expressed his intentions to this Cheng dù. Xiaoxing didn't say anything more, nor did he rest for a while, and soon set off to devote himself to the second "attempt".

Li Shi watched the thin girl jump from side to side in the secret passage like a stray arrow, and at this time her eyes had slightly adjusted to some of the phantoms that made people easily dizzy, and gradually understood what the girl's way of temptation was.

Specifically, how many bricks were put together on the two walls of the secret passage, and how many times the girl had to try to knock on the bricks on both sides at almost the same time.

Just looking at it from the sidelines, I feel dazzled, which can be imagined. How hard it must be for someone to do it himself.

Although the prince did not say anything soft. But he insisted that the girl should stop moving, or that it could be seen as the best way for him to cherish his subordinates.

If a person wants to do something, maybe a little opportunity at the right time can save a lot of hard time, but the main reason for success is the main reason for success. In fact, it generally depends on whether a person works hard enough.

With a shallow understanding of mechanics. The method of cracking the cloth skirt girl Xiaoxing figured out. The general direction is correct, so the next thing she has to do is to test it over and over again. Although there are more than 100 wall tiles, I don't know which one is the trigger point that can prevent the secret passage from opening. But as long as you try to hit each brick once, the camouflage can naturally be filtered out, and the fake can be faked to be true.

On the second attempt, Xiaoxing's jumping figure was faster.

Lai Shi could no longer understand this way of trying.

She only felt that the girl had been tossing left and right for so long, and she must have been very tired. Faced with this situation, she could not completely maintain a bystander attitude, and after hesitating for a while, she finally said, "Is there any place for the poor woman to help her?" ”

"For tricks, Xiaoxing only knows a little bit about it." The prince shook his head, "On this basis, if others rush to intervene, it will only add to the trouble." ”

Li Shi said no more, but before she continued to look at the figure that was about five paces away, she gradually clenched her sleeves, and her feelings seemed to become a little anxious.

And in the two short sentences just now, the second prince Wang Hong suddenly realized some differences between the two types of people inside and outside the palace.

People who live in an environment outside the palace have more harmony in their bodies and minds to help each other. Maybe it's not entirely the case, it's the kindness of the woman in front of her who plays a greater guiding role. And if you live in the environment of the palace, in the face of the scene in front of you, most people will show indifference within the rules.

However, the attitude of abiding by the rules cannot be said to be wrong. According to local conditions, rules are required to manage the servants in the palace.

After waiting for a while, there was still no movement around the secret passage, but the speed of the little star of the cloth skirt gradually slowed down.

Watching until this time, Wang Hong opened his mouth to persuade him: "I've been trying for so long, and there is no result, you might as well rest for a while, and then try the rest." ”

Xiaoxing listened to the prince's persuasion, and the figure that was constantly jumping left and right settled in one place. Half-squatting on the ground, she gasped for a while, and when her breath was a little even, she raised her eyes to look at the prince, and said with some annoyance: "The maid is incompetent, His Royal Highness Lao has been waiting for a long time." This secret passage is damp and simple, I don't know how long I will be tired of His Highness standing......"

"Could it be that you're going to go out and move a chair in before you try again?" Wang Hong first joked, then he smiled, and then said: "Give you another moment, if you still can't get the result, the matter will be put aside for the time being." Aja is guarding the dormitory, but I don't know if there will be other visitors to Huayang Palace tonight, he may not be able to hold it, so he can't delay for a long time. ”

The reason for Wang Hong's words was clear, but when Xiaoxing heard it, he became a little anxious, and immediately said: "How can this work, can you let this secret passage that does not know the depth of it stay in the bedroom where His Highness lives?" ”

When Wang Hong heard this, he suddenly raised his eyebrows and asked: "Since you have this intention, then why did you dissuade me just now and not come to check here?" ”

"The maidservant is afraid that His Highness will encounter danger in this secret passage in an unknown situation." Speaking of this, Xiao Xing's gaze dropped slightly, "This kind of thing can be done by the maid alone." ”

"Alright." Wang Hong raised his hand, of course he would not doubt Xiaoxing's loyalty, but he also did not want to continue to discuss this topic more. It was a matter of his determination that he had to go back to the inner room of the dormitory.

If this person was in the construction team at the time, then this secret passage may have many uses, but it could not have been used against him.

(To be continued......)
