218. Chapter 218: The Heart of Defense
There was no sound when the secret door was opened, so when the door was fully opened, everyone heard the crisp sound of water dropping from inside the door.
Not only did the queen and others hear the voice, but even the soldiers guarding outside heard it, and some people wondered: "Where did the sound of water come from?" It seems to have come out of a cave. ”
Another soldier said: "There is a mountain next to it, and it is not strange that there is a cave. ”
"Why didn't you just do it? Hearing it now? ”
The soldiers outside were puzzled, Duan Fei had already led everyone in, and after the secret door was closed, the people outside couldn't hear anything, and the soldier said, "The voice disappeared again." ”
What everyone walked into was indeed a cave, but the cave had obviously been artificially repaired, and the sound of water dripping was the sound of a mountain spring dripping down the rock at the top of the cave to the ground.
On the wall of the cave, there is a special lighting substance, flashing and flashing, although it is not too bright, but it can also be seen, because it is a cave, the ground is indispensable to gravel and fine sand, like this road surface, Duan Fei and Qingliu and Su Liangdi walked very steadily, on the other hand, the queen and the jade concubine walked crookedly, Qingliu saw this and carefully supported the jade concubine, and said softly: "You slow down." ”
The queen had no one to support, and she was struggling to walk alone, and when she saw Aoyagi going to help Concubine Yu, she was angry, so she said: "Don't you see that the palace also needs to be helped?" ”
One is her daughter-in-law, and the other is her daughter-in-law's maidservant, both of whom are related to her, and have nothing to do with Concubine Yu, but what is the situation at the moment? All towards the Jade Concubine, no one towards her.
Aoyagi was slightly stunned, glanced at the queen and then looked at the jade concubine helplessly, the jade concubine smiled: "You go to help the queen, I'll go by myself." ”
Qingliu nodded and walked towards the queen, Su Liangdi had already walked in front, but when she heard the queen's voice, she stopped and turned around, without saying a word, and walked to the side of the jade concubine to help the jade concubine walk.
The queen was angry again when she saw it, and shook off Aoyagi's hand, regardless of whether the gravel would cut her foot, strode forward, looking at her swaying body, Aoyagi wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh.
Soon, the group walked out of the cave and saw an empty garden, and the sound of the stream could be heard in the distance.
"What is this place?" Concubine Yu looked around, not far away on the other side of the stream, there was a mansion, and it was really unique to build a house in such a place.
"Sima Villa's other mansion in the capital." Duan Fei replied, Concubine Yu smiled slightly, and said: "I heard that Sima Villa is rich and rivals the country, and when I see it today, it is really a life that only rich people can enjoy." ”
This place is beautiful and beautiful, just looking at it makes you feel comfortable, and if you live in such a place, you will be several years younger.
The queen snorted coldly: "Isn't it just a broken mountain villa, what's the big deal." With that, he stepped on the small bridge over the stream and walked to the opposite side.
The maid who was sweeping the fallen leaves in the garden saw so many people coming over, she was stunned at first, and when she saw Duan Fei, she knew that it was someone from the Mingxuan Palace, and one of the maidservants immediately ran into the mansion.
Soon, an old man came out, with a kind expression on his face, first looked at everyone in turn, and then said, "Come in!" ”
Duan Fei nodded slightly, motioning for everyone to enter the mansion.
From the outside, you can see the wealth of Sima Villa, this walk-in, it is even more eye-opening, the queen and the jade concubine who have seen a lot of rare treasures on weekdays, can't help but sigh.
Whether it is the genuine handiwork on the wall or the antiques on the shelf, they are all things of the world, and some of them are still hard to find.
"Sit down first, and I'll tell your men to prepare some pastries." The old man said politely, beckoning everyone to sit down.
After Duan Fei walked to the back and sat down, he said, "There is a housekeeper Lao Xu." ”
"Guard Duan, you're welcome." Steward Xu said with a smile, his eyes deliberately did not look at the queen and the jade concubine, the reason why Duan Fei did not introduce it was because he didn't want to make everyone in the mansion uncomfortable.
And Steward Xu is a person who has seen the world, Duan Fei doesn't say it, he can guess seven or eight points, besides, Sima Chen and Prince Mingxuan are brothers and sisters, and he has also heard about what happened in the capital, and the identity of the queen and the jade concubine can be guessed with a guess.
His eyes flashed, and when he saw Aoyagi standing next to Su Liangdi, Steward Xu frowned, pointed at Aoyagi and said, "What are you doing standing stupidly, sit!" ”
As soon as Steward Xu said this, the queen and the others all looked at Qingliu, and Qingliu smiled embarrassedly, she was a slave, how could she be on an equal footing with the queen and others.
Su Liangdi looked at the position behind Duan Fei and motioned for Aoyagi to come over, and Aoyagi walked over and sat down slowly, but it was like sitting on pins and needles.
Seeing this, Steward Xu smiled and withdrew from the hall.
As soon as Steward Xu stepped out of the hall, a maidservant girl came in and added high-quality snow lotus tea.
As soon as the tea comes out, it exudes a sweet flavor that quenches your thirst by smelling it.
Concubine Yu first sniffed the taste, and then took a sip, the sweet taste made her nod her head. The queen sat aside, turned her head to look at Concubine Yu's actions, and saw that Concubine Yu had no adverse reactions after drinking the tea, so she picked up her cup of tea and took a small peck.
Steward Xu went and returned, followed by several maidservants, each of whom held a dinner plate in her hand, and dozens of pastries were placed on the tea table in turn.
The night before I was taken to the palace, the queen was noisy, and this morning I was angry and couldn't eat, and I was hungry when I saw so many pastries with so many colors and flavors.
The pastries were distributed to the small table, and everyone else began to taste them, only the queen looked at this and that, even if she was hungry, she didn't dare to move the chopsticks.
The jade concubine noticed the queen's gaze on her, turned her head to look at the queen, and said with a smile, "Don't you eat?" It's delicious. ”
After speaking, he turned his head and continued to eat pastries, the queen's thoughts, the jade concubine knew in her heart that in the palace, every time she dined, there would be palace maids to try it, so the queen was afraid.
And she didn't think about it so much, she always believed that there are still many good people in this world, in the palace, guard against this and that, everyone is tired, out of the palace, and so guarding against others, isn't it even more tiring?
Moreover, if Baili Yu wants to harm the queen, why save her? She is Bai Li Yu's adoptive mother, and Bai Li Yu will not be unfavorable to her.
The reason why she is relieved is also because she believes in Baili Yu.
The queen, on the other hand, does not trust anyone.
As soon as Concubine Yu spoke, everyone in the hall, including the maidservants standing on the side, looked at the queen, and the queen pulled out a smirk, and then picked up a piece of hibiscus cake and sent it to her mouth.
Everyone here was leisurely sipping tea and eating pastries, and in the Mingxuan Palace, Mu Guozhang had already broken in when Duan Fei and everyone left.
Bai Liyu held his sword in both hands and stood in the courtyard like this.
When Mu Guozhang saw Baili Yu's figure, he raised his hand, and the guards behind him all stopped, forming a long line behind.
