Chapter 245: The Secret Path, Old Man
After a while, a warm mist filled the room, and Qiu Ge turned to Chu Yu and said respectfully, "Seventh Imperial Princess, is the heat of this water appropriate?" ”
Chu Yu stretched out his hand to probe the temperature of the water, and then said, "That's right, you all go down." ”
"Yes." , Qiu Ge and Junyang replied, and then led a group of maids to retreat respectfully.
After all the maids went out and the door was covered, Chu Yu quickly walked to the side of the bed, stretched out his hand and twisted the wood carving, but found that the wood carving did not move at all, Chu Yu was momentarily annoyed, but then remembered a detail in the dream, and she twisted the wood carving again in the order of the gesture in the dream.
This time, the wood carving actually moved!
A hint of surprise flashed in Chu Yu's eyes, and then a chill swirled in her heart, was her dream that day a real experience or a dream?
Before Chu Yu could think about it, after the wood carving moved, the wall behind the head of the bed also moved, like a door that was opened from the inside.
Hiding the strangeness in his heart, Chu Yu felt as if he was being guided by an inexplicable way, and unconsciously walked inside.
As soon as he entered, Chu Yu felt that it was pitch black in front of him, and his vision was shrouded in darkness, and he couldn't see anything.
As a last resort, Chu Yu came out again and brought a candlestick in.
With the soft candlelight, Chu Yu could vaguely see the scene inside.
It turned out that this was a secret passage, but fortunately she didn't enter it recklessly and rashly, otherwise she might have to knock herself on her head.
This secret passage is a staircase going down, and you just don't know where it leads.
Chu Yu held the candlestick and walked down the stairs step by step, although there was a little fear in his heart, but after all, it was the curiosity in his heart that prevailed.
The dust on this secret passage was very thick, and as soon as Chu Yu stepped on it, the dust floated up, floating at Chu Yu's feet for a while and then falling.
It can be seen that no one has walked this secret passage for a long time.
Chu Yu carefully watched his feet, and after a while, he walked to a flat ground.
Unexpectedly, there are two other stairs here! Chu Yu frowned, this secret path is set up.... Why? Which one did she take?
Looking at the two stairs in front of him, one on the left and one on the right, Chu Yu's mind quickly flashed through the general layout of the Jin Emperor's Mansion.
If it is on the right, then this source is likely to be somewhere in the Jinhuang Mansion, maybe it is like her room, if it is on the left, then it may be outside the mansion, thinking of this, Chu Yu raised his feet and walked towards the stairs on the left.
Step by step, Chu Yu walked slowly, turning the corner, Chu Yu saw a faint light. Moreover, the more he went up, the dim light in the stairs was gradually penetrated and swallowed by stronger and stronger light, and Chu Yu's vision gradually became wider and clearer.
After a short time, Chu Yu came to a place that was extremely bright, which turned out to be a house.
At this moment, the door was wide open, and Chu Yu walked in silently, and unexpectedly saw several candlesticks burning in the room, and it was these candles that brightened the dim stairs below.
Chu Yu could clearly see the structure in this house, and the structure in this house made Chu Yu look at it with an inexplicable sense of familiarity, this structure was too familiar.
Before Chu Yu could think about it, there were two footsteps in the house, and Chu Yu took a few steps back and disappeared behind the door, submerging into the darkness.
"Sister Yutong, how did you pick up these useless herbs and come back?" , a disgusted and doting male voice sounded.
"Wherever it doesn't work, it's obviously very useful!" , about the person who was called Yutong's sister, responded.
Chu Yu listened to this voice, and always felt very familiar, where had he heard it.
Something flashed quickly in Chu Yu's mind, and then he had an answer in his heart, wasn't this woman the woman who pretended to be the Yu Immortal Doctor called by Wen Jin before? It turned out that they lived here.
It's just that who is that man? Listening to the voice, the man should be about the same age as the one called Yutong.
Have they always lived here?
Chu Yu thought secretly, and then suddenly remembered that his candlestick was placed on the ground, oops!
She couldn't come out and pick up the candlestick at this point, and she only hoped that the two of them wouldn't find the extra candlestick.
Pity... Things do not turn out the way you want.
"Huh? Why is there an extra candlestick here? Yu Tong said in surprise.
She remembered that Ruri would never put the candlestick on the ground because she didn't like it to be dirty.
Qing Yu heard the sound and approached, bent down to pick up the candlestick, "Why does this candlestick seem to be different from these, but it looks so familiar." ”
"It's not like you littered." , Yu Tong glanced at him.
Qing Yu ignored the disgust in Yu Tong's words, but looked at the candlestick carefully, and said in a deep voice for a long time, "This candlestick should belong to Emperor Jin's Mansion." ”
"What are you kidding, how could the candlestick of Emperor Jin's Mansion appear here?" , Yu Tong subconsciously retorted.
After finishing speaking, Yu Tong took the candlestick to his eyes and looked left and right, but he didn't see why.
Although she had been to Emperor Jin's Mansion, she was not one of those maids who had scrubbed the candlesticks, how could she know where these candlesticks were, and besides, these candlesticks looked similar.
"Aren't these candlesticks all the same? I don't see any difference. Yu Tong pursed his mouth.
Qing Yu reached out and tapped her on the head, then said, "I'd be surprised if you could see something." ”
Yu Tong pouted, and was about to speak to refute, but Qing Yu covered his mouth with his hand.
"Shh Qing Yu put his hand to his lips and made a shushing motion.
Yu Tong blinked, also realizing that something was wrong in this room.
Qing Yu took a closer look at the floor under his feet, and then he vaguely noticed that there were faint shoe prints on the ground, which were obviously left by the dust that came up from the corridor below and stepped on the clean floor.
"Since Your Excellency is here, why do you want to hide?" , Qing Yu glanced around.
After being discovered, Chu Yu calmed down.
She had already analyzed the current situation when they spoke, that Yutong was Wen Jin's person, so the man next to her might be in the same group as Wen Jin.
Then, as long as she shows her identity as the Seventh Princess, she should not be able to fight with these two.
Thinking like this, Chu Yu walked out from behind the door.
In the candlelight, two figures, one high and one low, stood straight.
The tallest man was a man, and I saw him wearing a maroon moire brocade python robe, a dark sea blue spider brocade belt tied around his waist, his eyes were blazing, and his eyebrows were romantic.
And the woman beside him had a goose egg face that Chu Yu was very familiar with, with beautiful eyebrows, and a pair of clear eyes under the flickering big eyelashes. She wore a flesh-colored Song Luo brocade skirt, draped in a green-gray woven mat embroidered with printed cranes, two delicate buns on her head, looking particularly cute, with braided silk longevity stone earrings hanging on her ears, and a burnt blue peridot bracelet on her slender hand, a thin waist and graceful waist, tied with a yellow double-ring four-fold Ruyi palace silk, which at first glance came from a large family.
"Yuxian Doctor, long time no see." , Chu Yu took the lead in speaking.
She is no stranger to the woman next to the man.
Yu Tong saw that the woman in front of him was dressed in plain white clothes, with a silver mask pinned to her face, and her temperament was outstanding, who would it be if it wasn't the Seventh Princess, she immediately tore off Qing Yu's hand and called out to Chu Yu in surprise, "Seventh Princess?" Why are you here? ”
Chu Yu smiled, "By chance." ”
Qing Yu on the side was relieved the moment he saw Chu Yu's figure and the mask on her face, and smiled softly at Chu Yu, "It turned out to be the Seventh Imperial Princess." ”
Hearing it, he didn't seem surprised by her presence.
Chu Yu raised his eyebrows, "What?" In addition to the Yuxian Doctor, you also know Hongu? ”
Yu Tong, who was called by Chu Yu as a feather immortal doctor, scratched his head embarrassedly, "Seventh princess, in fact, I..."
She really can't pretend anymore, she wants to say it. But she didn't say anything before she was interrupted by Chu Yu, "What does Doctor Yuxian want to say?" ”
After a pause, Chu Yu said again, "Nowadays, everyone in the world knows that Yu Immortal Doctor is the master of this palace, and this palace hopes that Yu Immortal Doctor can always be the master of this palace, at least let the world think so." ”
When Yu Tong heard this, she instantly understood what Chu Yu meant, and she only understood at this moment that her fake identity was already known to the other party, but she didn't understand why she wanted her to continue to pretend to be Yuxian Doctor.
However, Yu Tong quickly convinced himself that this might be what Brother Jin meant.
Thinking of this, Yu Tong nodded, "Okay." ”
"I didn't know, but the secret passage here leads to here." , Chu Yu glanced at the house, but she was in a hurry to dodge, and she couldn't carefully see the settings around here.
Now when I look closely, I find that the tables and chairs in this room are extremely simple and elegant.
"Yes, this place was originally reserved for escape...", Yu Tong explained happily, there was a lot of chattering rhythm, but he was interrupted by Qing Yu before he finished speaking, "Yu Tong, the Seventh Prince Concubine is probably a little thirsty, you can pour a cup of tea for the Seventh Prince Princess." ”
Chu Yu heard that the man in front of him didn't seem to want to say too much about this secret passage.
However, this Yutong is really too different from the appearance of pretending to be a Yuxian doctor in Emperor Jin's Mansion before, at least in terms of personality, she is not at all touched, and now she does not have that cold appearance at all, but looks like a naughty little princess.
"Oh." Although Yu Tong was a little reluctant to Qing Yu interrupt her words, she still smiled sweetly at Chu Yu and picked up the empty kettle on the table and walked out.
Suddenly, only Chu Yu and Qing Yu were left in the room.
"Are you Yutong's ......?" , Chu Yu narrowed his eyes and asked.
Qing Yu smiled and said lightly, "My name is Qing Yu, and I am Yu Tong's senior brother. ”
