When Lu Qingrong returned to Yuyuan, Jiang Xuan was still there.

And she had just sat down in the hall when a group of people came to Hula and asked to see her.

Since he learned that Lu Qingrong was pregnant, Jiang Xuan ordered him to go down, and all the maids and mothers-in-law in Yuyuan were not allowed to disturb the deceased son's wife.

The things in the house have their own Mother Ye and Mother Cao to help take care of them. And all the things that ask for peace are exempt.

In this way, people like Cai Mei Cai Lian, who are looking forward to seeing the prince of the previous world occasionally when they greet their wife, are particularly disappointed.

As soon as they heard about the fact that Mrs. Shizi had fallen into the water in Jinghu, they all rushed over to visit.

Hearing the report from Luzhu, Lu Qingrong vaguely felt the buzzing sound outside the hall, and waved his hand without thinking about it.

"Let them go back! Just say I'm resting. ”

Lu Qingrong was really tired.

I was full of anger just now, and I couldn't wait to beat He Qingwan with my own hands to relieve my anger, and then I thought a lot, thinking about how Lijuan should explain this matter in front of the emperor. After all, I was distracted, but I didn't feel tired.

At this moment, it was quiet around me, and I suddenly felt soreness and fatigue.

In the years since she came to the Great Qi Dynasty, she has never been in the water. Although the memory of his previous life became more and more blurred, he did not expect that the water nature was still there.

She really didn't have time to think about it just now, so she jumped straight down, but fortunately, nothing happened.

It's just that the strength is too strong, and I am pregnant again, so I am inevitably weaker at the moment.

Lu Qingrong took advantage of Jiang Xuan's failure to return to the house, so he went to the inner room to rest for a while.

Jiang Xuan went to the uncle of the Zhenbei General's Mansion early in the morning, and he had both official and private affairs. Originally, he was going to stay and have dinner with Jiang Yuanzhao.

However, Mo Nan told him about Lu Qingrong's fall into the water in the past, although he clearly told him that the wife of the prince was no longer in trouble, Jiang Xuan could still sit still. Immediately hurried back to the Hou Mansion.

It wasn't until Jiang Xuan entered the Yu Courtyard that he was told that Lu Qingrong had rested.

He was still relieved, and walked lightly to the inner room.

Seeing Lu Qingrong lying on his side on the bed, facing outward, his breathing was extremely light, and with every breath, his eyelashes trembled slightly. There seems to be a crystal falling in it.

Jiang Xuan wasn't sure what that crystal was.

But his heart tightened uncontrollably, as if he had just been caught. It hurts to tear.

Since Mrs. Jiang passed away, after so many years, how long has Jiang Xuan not experienced this feeling, this kind of guilt for failing to protect his loved ones......

In a flash. All kinds of complex emotions gushed out.

Pity, remorse, anger...... Let him be in a trance for a moment.

Soon came back to his senses. Jiang Xuan walked to the side of the bed first, carefully touched her forehead with the back of his hand, and confirmed that there was no fever before calming down and exiting the inner room softly.

He didn't want to wake up Lu Qingrong and wanted her to have a good rest.

Besides, he had to find out what was going on.

He knew Lu Qingrong too well. If she were to say it, she might have to be vague about it.

……

Wait for Jiang Xuan to return to the inner room again. It was almost the beginning of the unitary period, and the sky was slightly dark.

Lu Qingrong was resting, and when he heard a slight sound, he opened his eyes and was about to get up.

Jiang Xuan hurriedly stepped forward, sat on the edge of the bed, and pressed her back to lie down.

Lu Qingrong was not used to the posture of two people lying and sitting, and felt that he couldn't speak, so he insisted on getting up.

When Jiang Xuan saw it, he hurriedly got closer, took her body into his arms, and half-leaned on the head of the bed.

Lu Qingrong didn't insist any longer, twisted slightly, and found a comfortable position to lie down in his arms.

"When did you come back?" Lu Qingrong asked softly.

"It's been almost two hours since I got back. Luzhu said that you had just rested at that time. ”

"I just wanted to lie down for a while, but since you're back, why didn't you wake me up?" Lu Qingrong was still a little confused.

"While you were sleeping, I went to Lichun Courtyard and Qinyi Courtyard successively." Jiang Xuan told the truth.

When Lu Qingrong heard this, he suddenly came to his senses.

For a while, she didn't know what to say first.

Originally, she planned to fool the details of her initiative to dive into the water to save people, but when she heard him say that she had already been to Lichun Courtyard just now, she thought that she couldn't lie in front of him.

Lu Qingrong was silent for a while before he held back a sentence: "The lake water in spring is really not particularly cold!" ”

Jiang Xuan smiled perfunctorily at her words, but the arms holding her tightened.

Lu Qingrong hurriedly said: "I'm fine, I didn't choke on a mouthful of water!" The doctor also came to see it and said that there was nothing serious, and the fetal image was very stable. ”

She felt like she had finally gotten to the point this time.

Jiang Xuan was not too moved, and said expressionlessly: "I know this." When I came back, I met Imperial Doctor Zhou at the gate of the Hou Mansion. ”

Lu Qingrong was deflated.

She didn't specifically mention which imperial doctor came just now, because she was afraid that Jiang Xuan would not be able to trust others, so she had to see Doctor Xu again.

Fortunately, this time she was worried in vain.

Jiang Xuan guessed her thoughts and comforted: "I know that Imperial Doctor Zhou, he went to Mobei with the army at the beginning, and I can trust his medical skills and character. Since he said it's okay, you just need to take your medicine with peace of mind! ”

Lu Qingrong breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Xuan obviously felt that the little head in his arms suddenly relaxed, and his heart immediately softened.

I wanted to blame her for being reckless for her own safety, but I couldn't say anything.

As soon as the words came out, he actually smiled a little: "I didn't expect you to swim?" ”

Lu Qingrong understood that Lijuan had told him everything, and he knew that he couldn't deny it, so he said: "A few years before returning to Beijing, my father was still the governor of Huguang, and we lived in Wuchang, and there was a small pond in the backyard of the mansion ...... midsummer, when my father was not in the house, my mother secretly took me and my second sister to swim through the water

Lu Qingrong was thinking that Jiang Xuan and Lu Yiduo had a very close relationship, and it had become more and more intense recently, so as not to show her stuffing, she only mentioned Yin Pingru and Lu Qianyu, one of these two people rarely talked to him, and the other walked around when he saw him......

Jiang Xuan didn't doubt him, and only sighed: "I didn't expect you to be thin and weak, and your water nature is so good!" ”

Lu Qingrong chuckled: "It's obvious that Lijuan has been extremely flustered and was pulled to the shore by me indiscriminately, so I just think so!" "Lu Qingrong is by no means modest, as far as the water nature of her three-legged cat is concerned, it is definitely not good.

Jiang Xuan curled the corners of his lips slightly, leaned into her ear and whispered: "When our child is born, I will take you to swim when I find an opportunity to know if it is really good!" ”

Lu Qingrong actually nodded.

She's actually distracted.

Jiang Xuan stopped teasing her and got down to business: "Since you wake up, I'm relieved, I'm going to go to the palace immediately, this matter is not a small matter, you must inform the emperor as soon as possible, so it can be done." ”

As he spoke, he got up.

Lu Qingrong grabbed him: "I still have something to ask you." ”

Jiang Xuan looked back at Lu Qingrong with an inquiring gaze, only to realize that her expression was so serious.

Jiang Xuan originally wanted to come back from the palace to talk about it, but seeing this at the moment, he sat still and waited for her next step.

Lu Qingrong then said: "After Lijuan came ashore today, I stayed in the water alone for a while, and when I asked Mama Lin on the shore, I wanted to climb the lake with my feet to save some effort, but unexpectedly, it seemed that a board fell from the side, so I stepped on the air!" There is a big hole on the side of the shore more than a meter deep, do you know this? ”

Jiang Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then said with a blank face: "I know." This is ...... Didn't let anyone else know? ”

Lu Qingrong shook his head: "The entrance of the cave seems to be only one person wide, and if I block it, it will be difficult for others to notice." And Yu Linwei is very athletic, so he doesn't have to climb the shore like I am......"

Jiang Xuan's expression had just eased down, and when he heard what happened to Lu Qingrong today, he couldn't help but feel a little more solemn.

Lu Qingrong continued to ask: "What is in there?" ”

Jiang Xuan said truthfully: "It's not a thing, it's a secret passage." ”

Secret Path!

Lu Qingrong seemed to have some vague memories flashing in his mind, but they were quite scattered and he couldn't grasp the clue.

"Where does it lead?" Lu Qingrong asked.

"Too liquid pool." Jiang Xuan's tone was steady.

Lu Qingrong was only shocked.

There is a secret passage under the Jinghu Lake in the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion, which leads to the Taiye Pool in the West Garden of the Imperial City!

You must know that the West Garden is only separated by a wall from the Imperial Palace, which is connected by the West Garden Gate.

And the Xiyuan Gate, the guard level is not comparable with other external palace gates, plus the emperor and the empress dowager like landscapes, sometimes live in the West Garden for most of the year, which is like the backyard of the Forbidden City.

Therefore, to a certain extent, this secret passage is equivalent to a direct access to the palace!

"You did this?" Lu Qingrong suppressed his voice extremely low.

"Of course not!" Jiang Xuan said softly: "At the earliest, I didn't know about the existence of that secret passage, I accidentally discovered it when I was a child and the second prince were playing in the Taiye Pool. At that time, I was young, but I was bold, and I touched it all the way, only to know that the other end was actually in our house! ”

"At that time, it looked like it had been abandoned for a long time. Therefore, it should be a grandfather's time. Everyone knows that the friendship between my grandfather and the former emperor is extraordinary...... Of course, this is just speculation. ”

Lu Qingrong frowned, always feeling that something was wrong: "This cave is below the surface of the water, and it is so narrow, how can it be passed?" ”

"Only the hole is smaller, and it's still spacious inside." Jiang Xuan explained: "Jinghu Lake and Taiye Pond, the terrain is not high, take the north shore of Jinghu Lake as an example, there is a gentle slope down, and the entire secret passage, and a few zhang near the entrance of the cave are below the water surface. And in order to prevent accidents, a ramp was dug near the entrance on both sides to stop the water from pouring in. ”

Lu Qingrong suddenly felt interesting.

The former emperor and the old marquis were already very close in front of outsiders, for what purpose would they dig up such a strange secret passage......

The thought of two people with such high and powerful positions going in and out of this secret passage inevitably made them soaking wet...... This picture is too strong. (To be continued.) )
