Chapter 248: Dark Grid
can be disappointed to be disappointed, Ru Xuan is also very clear in her heart.
Chai Zixuan's hatred for the Zhao family in his heart came from his ears and eyes since he was a child, and such hatred and resentment does not mean that he can go if he can.
This matter needs to be considered in the long run.
Ru Xuan smiled and pulled Chai Zixuan's sleeve: "Brother, my little sister is a little hungry, let's go back quickly." β
"Okay." Chai Zixuan patted the back of Ru Xuan's hand, and the speed under his feet was a little faster.
At this time, the Xiaoxiang Pavilion had already placed a qiΔ in advance, and the delicious dishes were being delivered one by one, and Xiang Nan was standing at the table, waiting for the cloth dishes.
Ru Xuan was a little hungry at this time because of her busy morning, and because the dishes were just right for her taste, she also ate more.
On the contrary, it was Chai Zixuan, because of Ru Xuan's words just now, there was something in his heart, and he didn't eat a few bites of rice, so he said that he was full.
After lunch, Chai Zixuan told Ru Xuan to take a good rest, and he went to the study.
Ru Xuan had nothing to do, and after taking a nap, she took the book out to read it to pass the time.
A few days passed, and in the past few days, King Zhong did not visit King Zheng's mansion at night because he took into account the relationship between King Zheng and Ru Xuan, and Ru Xuan had no intention of leaving the mansion again.
However, Zheng Wang Chai Zixuan has often been absent from the mansion these days, and he seems to be very busy.
It stands to reason that King Zheng is just an idle king of the opposite sex, with no worries about food and clothing, enjoying flowers and walking birds every day, and he shouldn't be so busy.
Ru Xuan felt strange, and always wanted to ask her brother what he was busy with these days, and because he hadn't seen King Zhong for several days. wanted to find a way out of the way, and that afternoon, Ru Xuan specially instructed the small kitchen to make rock sugar lotus leaf soup. Send it to Chai Zixuan in person.
However, when he arrived at the study in Chai Zixuan's courtyard, the little guy at the door said that the prince had something to do and went out of the house.
"That's not a coincidence." Ru Xuan was a little disappointed, and suddenly her doubts were even worse.
My brother has always been like this these days, and every time he looks for it, he is not in the house.
"When my brother comes back, I will send someone to my courtyard to inform me." Ru Xuan explained to the little girl, ready to turn around and leave.
"Lord Wang, this hour. It should be back soon, don't worry, the county lord will come back as soon as the prince returns. The little one immediately went to sue the lord of SΓΉ. The little guy replied respectfully.
Ru Xuan paused and changed her mind.
"Since my brother is coming back soon, why don't I wait here for a while." Ru Xuan raised her feet and prepared to enter the study.
The little guy stretched out his hand to stop it.
"How. This study. I can't get in? Ru Xuan was a little puzzled.
He had been to this study more than once, and no one dared to stop her.
After hesitating for a moment, the little one withdrew his arm and said in a low voice, "The little one doesn't dare." β
Ru Xuan raised her head and took the food box from Xiang Nan's hand: "You wait for me outside." Then he pushed the door open and walked in.
Xiang Nan stood obediently at the door, waiting for the dispatch to be ordered at any time.
Ru Xuan entered the study. He put the food box in his hand in the open space on the bookcase, and walked around the study at will.
In fact. Chai Zixuan's study is very large, but it is almost occupied by bookshelves, and the bookshelves are also densely packed with various book collections, all of which seem to be worth a lot of money.
Ru Xuan has always been more interested in ancient books, so she flipped through them casually.
However, Ru Xuan immediately regretted it, she likes to read books, but what she likes to read is travelogues, strange anecdotes and other books, and most of the books here are officially produced, and the full of them is also a bit of a headache to read.
Ru Xuan rubbed her temples that were a little sore and put the book back.
Continuing to wander around the study aimlessly, Ru Xuan saw a finely carved emerald green jade toad in one of the layers of the bookshelf, which looked very good.
Ru Xuan was very interested and ready to pick it up and play with it carefully.
However, this jade toad, which was only a little bigger than a fist, seemed to weigh as much as a thousand catties, and it couldn't be picked up no matter what.
Ru Xuan is definitely a stubborn person, the more she can't pick it up, the more she wants to take it.
But he had enough strength, but the jade toad didn't move at all.
Hey, I don't believe in this evil!
Ru Xuan was a little angry, rolled up the sleeves of her hands, and used enough strength with her hands, but she couldn't hold the jade toad.
After a few times, Ru Xuan was a little tired and panting heavily.
Observe carefully, this jade cicada is indeed a jade material, and it should not weigh as much as a thousand catties.
Ru Xuan squinted her eyes, observed carefully, tentatively held the jade cicada, and swayed from side to side.
Sure enough, this jade toad can turn to the right, and Ru Xuan made a hard effort and turned it.
Suddenly, there was a clicking sound, and the bookshelf next to it seemed to slowly move out a lot, and behind the bookshelf was a wall, and there was a small hidden compartment on the wall.
Sure enough, there is a mystery inside.
Ru Xuan was curious, and hurriedly went over to check one or two.
The dark grid didn't add any other mechanisms, so you could see what was inside.
Ru Xuan looked up and saw that there were only two things in the dark compartment, but each of them, Ru Xuan had seen them.
The same is a jade plate made of fine mutton fat white jade, engraved with the word "Yangui", and the other thing is a delicately made sterling silver mask, just enough to cover half of the face.
This is......
Ru Xuan pinched the silver mask in her hand and was stunned.
She has indeed seen both of these things, and they are both related to Xuanye Gongzi.
But why, these two things appear in my brother's study?
Bold thoughts rose from the bottom of her heart, and Ru Xuan was so shocked that she subconsciously covered her mouth.
Don't......
Suddenly, Ru Xuan heard movement outside, and seemed to hear someone calling "Wang Ye".
Ru Xuan came back to her senses, hurriedly put back the silver mask and jade plate in her hand, twisted the jade toad, and closed the dark grid.
Immediately after, after the door opened, Chai Zixuan walked in and saw Ru Xuan standing in front of the bookshelf, flipping through the books on the shelves, and her face sank slightly.
"Little sister." Chai Zixuan called.
"Brother is back?" Ru Xuan put the book in her hand back on the shelf and pretended to be nothing: "My brother is back, my little sister is really boring waiting here." β
"I just got out of the house and just came back." Chai Zixuan looked at Ru Xuan's expression, and felt a little relieved in his heart: "If my little sister is looking for me next time, just send someone to say it, you don't have to wait here all the time, it's tiring." β
"Anyway, there's nothing to do in the house, come over and take a walk by the way, today my little sister also specially prepared rock sugar lotus leaf soup for my brother, brother tasted it?" Ru Xuan opened the food box and took out the lotus leaf soup.
"I've been busy all afternoon, and I'm a little hungry at this time, and the lotus leaf soup of my little sister is just in time." Chai Zixuan took it with a smile and took a big bite. (To be continued......)
