"There's a labor doctor." Wang Hong raised his sleeves from afar, "Send the medical officer." ”

The two palace maids answered, carrying lanterns to lead the imperial doctor out.

Concubine De walked to the couch again and sat down on the brim. She originally had something to say, and she hadn't had time to ask about who the owner of that Fang Supa was, but she saw that the second prince Wang Hong was very tired at this time, so she put these words in her heart for the time being, and just reached out to probe his forehead and arm again.

I don't know if the imperial doctor has come, causing some psychological hints, she feels that the prince's body temperature seems to be calmer at this time, she is slightly relieved, and said slowly: "The concubine originally only planned to come to see you and leave soon, but she didn't expect to be delayed for so long." You must be very tired now, and you are only holding up your spirits to accompany your mother. Okay, the mother is really going back now, you can lie down and rest. ”

Wang Hong nodded, he really didn't have the energy to talk more, so he prepared to slide into the quilt.

But Concubine De suddenly remembered the advice of the imperial doctor just now, and hurriedly said: "I almost forgot, your underwear has been soaked with sweat, and you have to change it, otherwise you won't be able to sleep well at night." ”

Wang Hong had to sit up again, sighed and said, "Mother, you also said that these things can be handed over to the palace maids to do, and rest assured that they will serve, you can go back and rest early." ”

Concubine De thought about it when she heard this, and said with a smile: "Okay, you have also grown into a man, and some things must be left to you to do by yourself." ”

Concubine De is finally gone.

The palace maids who were accompanied by Concubine De all withdrew from Huayang Palace, and the footsteps became farther away, and the second prince Wang Hong, who was sitting on the couch, had lost the strength to lean on the pillow behind him, his shoulders were tilted, and he lay on the soft and silky brocade quilt, and immediately fell asleep.

After a long time, his shoulders suddenly trembled, and the man immediately came to his senses and sat up from the quilt suddenly.

There was a fog in front of me. Then he saw the face of the eunuch Aja.

Aja kept standing on the edge of the collapse and looked at Wang Hong, trying to wake him up, but he couldn't bear to disturb his sleep. At this time, I saw that he suddenly woke up, as if he had just been frightened by something. Aja's face showed worry, and he asked softly: "Your Highness, are you going to change your sweaty clothes?" ”

Wang Hong's gaze paused on the plain shirt held in Ajia's hand, and he did not give instructions, but asked, "How long did Bengong sleep just now?" ”

"It's not enough time for tea." Aja replied verbally, but in his heart he couldn't help but want to say: This is not sleeping, it is more like fainting for a while.

"It's okay......" Wang Hong seemed to be muttering to himself first, and then said to the eunuch Ajia: "You go out first, and you can only come in when the palace calls you to come in and serve." ”

Aja commanded. Leaving a lamp, he walked out.

When he was about to go out, he heard the prince on the couch call out to him, and when he turned around, he saw that the prince sitting on the couch was still tired. His eyes were condensed, and he said word by word: "Ajia, for what happened just now, this palace is grateful first." I'll figure out what to do next, or I'll leave it to you, right? ”

Aja had long understood.

Just now when he heard the prince's order to "take ten steps back" from the inner room of the dormitory, he knew about it. There was one more person in the inner room of the dormitory.

In the face of the prince's re-admonition, Aja's eyes also became solemn, he bowed, and went out without saying anything.

Silence is a promise at this point.

After Aja went out and closed the door, the second prince Wang Hong jumped down from the couch and ran towards the long screen with his shoes on.

Can't wait to open the wooden door of the one-person tall standing wardrobe. Wang Hong saw that the wardrobe that had moved away from several stacks of quilts was a little empty, and this kind of emptiness was difficult to hide, but the palace maid with Concubine De went to the wardrobe three times in a row, and did not find the two people he hid inside......

That's because, there's no one in the closet at all!

So where did the people he hid in before go?

Wang Hong was only slightly confused about this matter just now. At this time, seeing such a strange thing happening in the closet, the doubts in his heart suddenly swelled sharply. He first reached out and waved it in the closet space, making sure that he was not delusional, and he felt a trace of fear grow in his heart.

"Little Star?"

"Aunt Li?"

Wang Hong called lightly twice, and subconsciously reached out and knocked on the three side panels of the wardrobe.

As he reached out and knocked on the left side of the wardrobe, he suddenly heard a sound similar to the iron piece popping open, and then he felt a flower in front of him, as if something had jumped out of the closet, and dragged several robes and clothes in the wardrobe out of the way.

The speed of the "thing" jumping out was extremely fast, Wang Hong closed his eyelids hard, and when he opened his eyes again, he saw that the "thing" was two people.

It was the two people I had just called.

Although Xiaoxing, a woman in a cloth skirt, suffered for three years because she went to the Northland, her body was very thin, but her martial arts were still there, and she restrained the woman who was hiding in the closet first with just one move. Only then did she come out of the closet, and one of her right hands was still moving like an iron claw, and she twisted her arms around her back in reverse, making her unable to move.

The woman's face was already pale, and there was a ball of cloth in her mouth, so that her breathing could not be smooth, and her forehead began to sweat like rain after such a toss.

"What are you doing here? Loosen up! Although Wang Hong had expected this scene, there was still a difference between what he saw with his own eyes and what he imagined in his mind, and at this time his face had changed slightly, and he hurriedly stepped forward to dismantle the cloth stuffed with the woman's mouth.

Seeing this scene, Xiaoxing, a woman in a cloth skirt, also realized that she seemed to have done something wrong, and hurriedly let go of the hand that clasped the woman's arms.

As soon as the clasp on her back was loosened, the woman, who was already having some gold stars in her eyes, weakened her legs and fell to the ground.

Wang Hong, the second prince, who was helping her unravel the cloth ball, also squatted down and pulled out the cloth, but saw that it was a cotton sock. Wang Hong raised his hand and threw the socks that were still hanging with the woman's saliva out of the distance, and then stared sideways at the woman in the cloth skirt Xiaoxing, and said with some annoyance: "How can you do this to her?" ”

Xiaoxing was slightly stunned, and immediately knelt down, pleading guilty: "The maid only thinks she is...... She's a villain...... And they took her. Is it a mistake? But why would this person hide in the closet beforehand? Isn't it a spy who intends to spy on His Highness? ”

"Have you ever seen a spy who doesn't know how to do martial arts?" Wang Hong sighed, not wanting to explain too much about this detail. After examining the woman carefully and making sure that Xiaoxing had not caused her much damage, his gaze finally stopped on her arm that was still turning backwards, and immediately ordered, "Quick, massage her arm." Don't leave yourself with a disability. ”

Roughly determining whether this woman was a friend or foe, Xiao Xing hurriedly began to push and rub her sprained arm for her, and at the same time asked Wang Hong: "Your Highness, who is this person?" Why would you hide her in the closet? ”

I can't explain this in a single sentence. You just have to see her clearly and remember not to embarrass her in the future. After saying this, Wang Hong rubbed the corners of his forehead, remembered what he saw in the closet just now, and immediately asked, "What happened to you in the closet just now?" Those palace maids didn't find you when they went to get the quilt, I came to check, and I only saw the empty wardrobe, where did you hide just now? How did you suddenly jump out later? ”

"Doesn't Your Highness know?" Listening to Wang Hong's question, Xiao Xing's face also showed doubts, "The back of this cabinet is empty." There is a secret passage. ”

"Secret ......" Wang Hong was surprised.

He had lived in this dormitory for more than ten years, and the row of wardrobes had been placed in front of the solid wall behind the screen for seven or eight years, but he had never noticed that the inside of this wall was hollow. Moreover, this row of wardrobes is still a few years ago. Concubine De saw that he had grown from a child to a teenager, and the size of his clothes had not changed so frequently, so she ordered someone to build a large wardrobe and put it over, and it seemed that Concubine De did not see the mystery behind this wall.

For this, Xiaoxing, who had served Wang Hong for several years, certainly knew it. Seeing the thoughtful look on his face, she also thought about it, obviously she speculated more about Concubine De's unkindness than others. After pondering for a moment, she said, "Could it be that Concubine De secretly sent someone to chisel it?" She has so many masters under her hands, it is not difficult to do this. ”

"No, it's unlikely to be her." Wang Hong shook his head and said slowly: "This row of wardrobes was given to me by her eight years ago, when I was only about ten years old, so she didn't need to bother at all. Just to spy on a ten-year-old. Besides, I couldn't do as much as a ten-year-old kid at that time. ”

Xiao Xing pondered and said: "She also knows that as Her Highness grows up, it will become more and more difficult to control zhì, so she will first chisel the secret passage in the dormitory at the age when Her Highness can still control zhì." Wait until you need to use it. ”

In the face of Xiao Xing's second speculation, Wang Hong was obviously silent for a long time, and then he shook his head again and said slowly: "Compared with the method of directly sending people to monitor me, it is too risky to chisel through the walls of Huayang Palace a few years ago in advance, and the handle is too obvious. If the maidservants in my palace discover this secret passage, she will not escape investigation, because this row of wardrobes is given by her, why should she set herself on fire? ”

This time it was Xiaoxing's turn to be silent.

After pondering for a while, Xiao Xing spoke again, and the object of questioning was still Concubine De: "She can also send someone to take care of this row of wardrobes, so that it will be difficult for anyone to discover the secrets in the cabinet." ”

"This one is even more difficult to do, Xiaoxing, don't you know, the maids in Huayang Palace are the most lax in their rules, and the maids who clean and tidy up this row of wardrobes every day have never fixed the list." Speaking of this, Wang Hong sighed, and said in a slightly changed tone: "Xiaoxing, when you think about it, every sentence is directly aimed at Concubine De, and there is obviously a hatred for her in your words. What's wrong with you? After all, she is the mother who has taken care of me from childhood to adulthood, and even if she has done something wrong, she must have no ill will towards me. ”

Listening to Wang Hong's words, Xiao Xing suddenly realized that no matter what kind of bad image Concubine De has become in her mind now, after all, Concubine De has taken care of him for more than ten years, and she is the most difficult benefactor for him to question and blame.

This kind of kindness, cultivated from childhood to adulthood, is the most deep-rooted, and can most influence the recipient's judgment of certain aspects of the benefactor.

At this moment, Xiao Xing suddenly had a trance in his heart, feeling that he had complied with the prince's instructions to investigate Concubine De, which seemed to be a mistake from the beginning.

Because no matter what the results of her investigation are, the prince, who was taken care of and cared for by Concubine De, will only choose her good aspects in the end, and subconsciously correct the things she did wrong.

If you are very grateful to someone and love someone from the bottom of your heart, there is something wrong with that person, as if there is a right reason for it.

For a moment, Xiao Xing didn't know what angle to think about to continue to discuss the secret passage behind the closet with the prince, so she had to be silent.

The second prince, Wang Hong, was also silent, and his gaze fell to the ground. I don't know if I'm starting to question whether the secret passage is related to Concubine De, who took care of him growing up, or if I'm thinking about something else.

When he let go of the woman he had pulled out of the closet, Xiaoxing had already realized that the woman had fainted because she had been detained by force for too long. She was about an extremely important person for the prince, so when she pushed her arms that were stagnant with blood and qi, she deliberately urged some strength from her palm.

The woman's qi and blood were quickly excited, her pale face gradually returned to normal, and she quickly woke up, unconsciously breathing a long sigh of relief.

If Lin Shan was present at this time, he would be surprised and at the same time, he would definitely blame this woman a lot. And if Mo Ye is here, it will definitely be surprise and sadness overlapping repeatedly, and excitement and gaffes will be repeated.

But the two men whom the woman knew best were out of sight. Although the same man and a woman were squatting in front of her, the woman was not as well-behaved and quiet as Mo Ye. The sight of her almost broke her arm; Although the young man was gentle and kind, with his true identity, she could hardly compare him to Lin Shan.

The moment he opened his eyes and saw the person in front of him, before he could stand up, he directly changed from a sitting position to a kneeling position. Kowtowed: "The poor woman knocks to His Royal Highness the Second Prince." ”

"In the secret, there is no need to be polite." Wang Hong saw that Li Shi was awake, smiled, pointed at Xiaoxing, and said, "Xiaoxing, help Aunt Li get up." ”

After saying this, Wang Hong, who was squatting on the ground, also stood up by himself. But at this time. He only felt that the sky was spinning, the soles of his feet were floating, and his body shook so much that he almost fell to the ground.

Xiao Xing immediately let go of the Li Shi who was holding him, took a step forward, and put his cross arm on the prince's skinny shoulder.

"Your Highness. What's wrong with you? Xiaoxing asked anxiously.

Wang Hong stretched out his hand to cover his forehead, patted his mind that was about to become a mess, and said with a little hurry: "I'm a little dizzy, it's okay." ”

Li Shi, who stood up slowly, looked at the prince's hand wrapped in a cloth belt, and she had lived half her life. After serving several masters, it soon became clear the general cause of the prince's dizziness. Approaching and holding the other shoulder of the prince, Li Shi said softly: "Sit down quickly, slow down." ”

Wang Hong sat on the chair that Concubine De had just sat on, and when Li Shi was holding his arm, she only felt that although this young man was at the most robust age of a person's growth, in fact, his physique was too thin, and she couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

This is Mo Ye's child's half-brother, although he grew up in the palace, with fine clothes and food, and enjoyed all the glory, but he was not as strong as Mo Ye, who she took care of alone.

After helping Wang Hong sit down, Li Shi looked around the room, went to get the silk blanket on the couch, came back and gently put it on the young man's thin shoulder.

Taking this opportunity, the Li family was able to carefully examine the noble prince.

The facial features of a person will change somewhat as they become adults, but when they are young, most of their facial features are still inherited from their parents. Looking at Wang Hong's side face, the natural curvature of the corners of his mouth and eyes, as well as the height of the bridge of his nose, are slightly similar to Mo Ye, which is probably the same as inheriting his father Wang Chi.

Seeing this similarity, Li Shi couldn't help but think of Mo Ye, and then thought of Lin Shan. She suddenly felt that thirteen years ago, Lin Shan left Kyoto with Mo Ye, who was still in infancy, and this practice was not inappropriate for Mo Ye, and even the correctness of this practice could make Mo Ye useful for the rest of his life.

If Mo Ye had continued to stay in the palace at that time, what would have been the result now? Li didn't dare to think deeply.

Sometimes simply living can lead to more happiness. If you have to torture yourself physically and mentally for the title of prince or princess, is it worth it or not?

Maybe this royal identity was originally something that Mo Ye deserved, but if she didn't fight for it, she must be cowardly?

Li Shi thought back to Mo Ye's mother, the young lady of the Ye family who had served for several years. Ye Ziqing seems to have a great passion and patience for the ledger that records the money in addition to her love for cooking all kinds of strange meals, but she is actually a lazy person to think.

In addition to tasting all kinds of food and counting silver, Ye Ziqing also likes to wander around, when the Ye family's ancestral house was so spacious, she couldn't stop her steps. At that time, the world outside was so chaotic, and she still liked to run around, which frightened the servants around her.

- But. The longer he left his own young lady, the more Li Shi felt that when he traveled around the world with his young lady, those days were full of thrills. But if a person has that experience, it is not in vain.

If Ye Ziqing can live until now, she will definitely continue her preferences to this day. And the companions she chooses to take with her to travel the world today may no longer be some elderly servants, but her grown daughter.

If things really turn out like this, then the status of the princess will undoubtedly become a great obstacle to free walking. And Ye Ziqing's traces of resisting this obstacle seem to have been revealed as early as thirteen years ago - she has a big belly, but she still prefers to live in a simple palace with maids and maids, avoiding the palace.

After sitting for a while, Wang Hong gradually regained some of his spirits. On one side, he saw Li's gaze fall on his shoulder, but the look in her pupils floated a little, as if she was wandering somewhere else.

After a little hesitation, Wang Hong prompted: "Aunt Li? ”

This is the name of the Lai Thi. It was Wang Hong who called after Mo Ye.

Since three years ago, Wang Hong has officially started to investigate the cause of the death of Concubine Ye, Wang Hong has found out the village where Concubine Xian's daughter, that is, his half-sister Mo Ye, lived.

Mo Ye kept calling Li "aunt" when he was a child, in fact, Li took care of Mo Yedi meticulously. When he was a young Mo Ye, how many nights did he fall asleep in the lullaby sung by Li's softly. In a sense. Lai's existence makes up for some of Mo Ye's lack of maternal love.

Thinking of this, Wang Hong held the same courtesy, and also called her "aunt" when he saw her secretly, but he held a bit of sincerity.

Hearing the call, Li Shi came back to his senses. Because her mind was deeply trapped in distant memories just now, she was a little embarrassed for a while, she smiled a little reluctantly, suddenly sighed again, and said slowly: "The poor woman touched the noble body of His Highness. So thin, the poor woman can't help but feel 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 not-so-bright light, Li Shi, who had just woken up from a fainting, thought it was a kind of palace costume 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's hands were reversed and clamped, which made her qi and blood obstructed and dizzy, but she could 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 Xiao Xing deeply, and 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 will not be able to avoid it." If she were to check on someone, even if she just picked up a comb that person had used, she could sniff out the traces of the hair oil on the comb. ”

Xiao Xing knew that in the future, Xiao Xing would find a secret location. Live quietly. Xiaoxing hung his head. Although she had already prepared in her heart, she secretly entered the palace this time and told the prince that she had searched for information in the north for three years, and would never come back after that. However, when this matter was announced by the prince who she had served wholeheartedly for several years, she still couldn't suppress a wave of 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 was concerned about the death of his own young lady. There are also thousands of reluctances, which is 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. But it is gradually drifting away, and it is difficult to see each other again.

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 leave the palace with the little star girl and stay in a secluded place temporarily. If Your Highness has a call, of course, the poor woman can 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 the conversation 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. You can feel a light breeze pouring into the depths of the passage, as if the passage is 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 great significance, and he was surprised, and 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. Facing east, the palace can receive the morning sun at the earliest hour every day, even in the cold winter, it can bear more warmth, and 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 is almost the same age as that of the Southern Zhao Dynasty. When this palace was newly built, Concubine De was not as favored as she is now, and I am afraid that she could not instruct the core officials of the Ministry of Industry to secretly tamper with the drawings, and after revising the design draft, she kept it secret for so many years.

It's just that after the outer wall of this wall was built, it hid traces very secretly, and this hiding behavior was strange. Since it has long been in the scope of architectural design. Why don't people who live in 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 moment. He explained: "The double wall is generally built to block the outdoor heat in summer, but most of these walls seem to be 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 immersed in the sudden passage that he got up suddenly, and he couldn't even close the thin blanket on his shoulders. A silky, soft, fine plush woven blanket slides down the thin but straight back of the shoulder to the ankle.

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 closet door and glanced inside again. Still didn't find anything, so he brought up the doubt he had in his heart 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. Then he pinched the two corners of the blanket and tied a knot around his neck, so that the blanket became a simple cloak that could not be thrown off. 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." 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 there are palace maids who usually come to clean up the clothes, there is no need to stand in." And like me, I hid two people in it at once. This is also a very unlikely 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.

But the fact that individuals are not afraid of danger does not mean that danger does not exist, and 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. After taking the flying fish dagger, Xiaoxing picked up the triangular glass lamp on the table again, and then returned to the back of the screen.

Handing the flying fish dagger to the prince, Xiaoxing 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: "Holding the candle in your hand is more solid than holding it on the lampholder." ”

Li Shi nodded when he heard this.

If you really encounter a lurking attack in the secret passage later, it is indeed easy to cause the candle and the lamp holder to separate from the lamp holder in the fierce fight. 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 in the hands of the two of them, and said to the prince: "Wait a while, the maid will walk in front, and Senior Li will walk behind, if Your Highness sees that the candle 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." ”
