After the bluestone slab was closed, the passage was all plunged into darkness, Yan Meng stood in place for a long time, and slowly adapted to the dark environment before groping forward. This passage is very narrow, only allowing one person to pass, and because of the dark environment, walking forward can only see the road under his feet, no matter how far he can't see, Yan Meng has been walking for a long time and has not come to the end, he inevitably feels a little reckless in his heart, and he rushes down without preparation, what if someone finds out? Or how do you explain that you are missing? When he was hesitating to turn around and go back, he suddenly heard a sound of conversation coming from behind the wall, could it be that behind this wall is Yan Bocheng's study?

Yan Meng stood in place and carefully identified the sound of the conversation on the other side, but the sound was subtle and a little unreal, so she put her ear to the wall, slowed down her breathing, and listened carefully to the movement over there.

"Lord Yan, the master said that the appointed time is coming, don't let him down." A person's voice suddenly amplified, but this voice sounded sharp and thin, but it didn't look like a female voice, like a eunuch? Is the "master" he said about a certain lady in the palace? What did the people in the palace agree with Yan Bocheng?

"Tell your master: The time has not come, and it will be useless to force me again!" This is Yan Bocheng's voice, but his voice is full of irrepressible anger, Yan Bocheng was caught?

"Since Lord Yan hasn't thought it through yet, the miscellaneous family won't say much, but please listen to the advice of the miscellaneous family, and think about what will happen if you offend your master! Miscellaneous family retired. ”

Sure enough, it's a eunuch, so who is the person next to the mother? It seems that Yan Bocheng was favored by the people in the palace, and it was Yan Bocheng who held the military power, so he was naturally a piece of fat for the nobles in the palace.

It's just that now that the prince has been established, and the prince is born to the queen's mother, the prince also went to patrol the city on behalf of the saint a few days ago, so the prince's position is extremely stable in the eyes of everyone, and there is no need for the queen to make these actions. The Seventh Prince is still young, and his biological mother's position is not high, so he must not have such great ability to threaten Lord Taiwei. Then the master in this person's mouth is Ning Guifei, the biological mother of the third prince Wei Ke, the prince is the same year as the third prince, and now the prince has patrolled the city on behalf of the saint, so for the third prince who has the heart to win the heir, he is naturally anxious...

"What's the matter with her?" Yan Bocheng's slightly impatient voice came. "Forget it, let her in!"

Who's coming?

When the concubine heard that the master had returned from the palace, she entered the study, and she must have been a little tired, so she thought of bringing the master a bowl of nourishing decoction. It is said that the concubine inherited Yuan'er's love, Yuan'er's ghostly spirit, I heard that my father was tired, so I cried and made a fuss to make soup for my father, where would she be, or Danqing followed her side to boil a bowl, and after boiling, she found that the homework assigned to her by the concubine today was not completed, so she asked the concubine to send the soup to the master. "It turned out to be the Zhao family...

"You've got a heart." Xu heard that Yan Jingyuan boiled this decoction for him, Yan Bocheng's voice became less intense, but very gentle.

"Yuan'er is still young, you don't need to learn to do things like that, don't push her too much on weekdays."

"The lord has wronged the concubine by saying this, where is the concubine persecuted, the concubine took Shu'er to see Liu and Huang today, and it was Yuan'er who saw his sister looking at the accounts on the side, and she also had a studious mind, so she looked at the accounts with her eldest sister on the side." Although it was a joke, Zhao's tone was difficult to hide.

"If she wants to learn, let her go. I heard my mother say that Shu'er has been following you all these days, how about it? ”

"Sister Shu is smart, she is young, and many things are transparent at all, so she must have followed her mother before, and she has been exposed to it for a long time."

"Well, you have a heart." Yan Bocheng's tone was a little disapproving.

Zhao didn't seem to notice Yan Bocheng's tone, and said to himself: "Where is the master, what a mother thinks about is just working for her children, but... The concubine has something unclear, and she asks the master for advice. ”

"What?"

"The concubine is stupid, if she says something wrong, I hope the lord won't blame her."

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

"Sister Shu is also old, these days the Ji family has been living in our house, and the old lady asked the concubine to teach Sister Shu the management of the backyard, the concubine wondered if the old lady was ...... Don't blame the concubine for saying something ugly, Sister Shu is a concubine after all, the concubine looks at the kid of the Ji family is a good one, if you marry into the Ji Mansion, you don't need to climb others, and your life will be more comfortable..."

Yan Meng heard Zhao turn black into white here, and she was about to laugh, she didn't believe that Zhao didn't know what kind of virtue Ji Yunsheng had, so marrying Yan Jingshu was glorious, but according to Ji Yunsheng's conduct, I was afraid that Yan Jingshu would not be pushed into the fire pit!

Yan Bocheng paused for a moment and pondered, "What does Mother mean?" ”

"The concubine hasn't explained it to her mother yet, but Sister Shu has been by her mother's side since she was a child, presumably her mother and concubine are the same, and she also hopes that Sister Shu will be well..."

"Ji family..."Yan Bocheng thought to himself for a while.

"The master is busy with political affairs these days, so he must not have officially met that kid from the Ji family..."Zhao covered his lips and smiled.

Yan Bocheng thought about it carefully, but as Zhao said, he didn't have any impression of Ji Yunsheng, after all, Ji Fu seemed to him to be at the time when the donkey skills were exhausted, and he couldn't bring any benefits to Yan Mansion, and it might even drag down Yan Mansion, so he didn't think about it, and he didn't care much about Ji Yunsheng.

Zhao continued: "Actually, it was the child who took someone to the back kitchen to investigate after Xiangze Zhai Yuan'er fainted yesterday, and he didn't greet the master yesterday because he went late, but it happened to have an accident with Shang Yuan'er, and yesterday's matter was so quickly resolved, and his credit is not small." ”

Zhao said that Yan Bocheng had some impression of Ji Yunsheng, as if he was a man in a blue shirt and looking Zhouzheng, but he didn't have anything outstanding, so he didn't have any impression, so he said to Zhao a little perfunctorily: "Well, it's a little impressive." "Although it is an impression, it is too rash to agree to marry Shu'er on this basis alone, and it is not a high climb to say that Shu'er is married in the past, and it deserves to be a good person, but the Ji family...

Because the Ji family is the old lady's maiden family, if the old lady really has this idea, no matter how much he disagrees, he can't go against the old lady's wishes, Yan Bocheng was a little hesitant, thinking that it would be better to probe the old lady's tone, if it is not firm, Shu'er's marriage he has other plans... So he said to Zhao: "I know, but let's ask my mother what she means, Shu'er is still young, and there is no hurry to make a big marriage." ”

Zhao understood that Yan Bocheng would not agree to marry Yan Jingshu and marry Yan Bocheng for more than ten years, this result was what she could think of, but her goal was achieved, and she did not entangle, nodded understandingly, and obeyed Yan Bocheng's statement, "Yes." ”

"In this way, the concubine body will not disturb the master, the master should not forget his body when he is working hard and political affairs, and the concubine will retire."

"Hmm."

Yan Meng listened here and the conversation ended and fell into deep thought, the place where she was standing should be facing Yan Bocheng's study, so she could listen to Yan Bocheng's conversation so carefully, listening to the conversation just now, Yan Bocheng and Ning Guifei must have something to do, then Wei Huaiyuan should have known about Ning Guifei and Yan Bocheng before visiting Yan's mansion many times.

So what was the purpose of Zhao's words just now? Although the decline of Ji Mansion is not on the bright side, if Aunt Jiang and Yan Jingshu can't tell the difference, she can understand, even Yan Jingyuan said that Ji Yunsheng is tired that day, and it is impossible for the Zhao family not to understand it.

When the Ji Mansion declined, Yan Bocheng would definitely not agree to Yan Jingshu marrying into the Ji family, so she never thought that Yan Bocheng would agree to it from the beginning, so why did she lead Yan Bocheng's attention to Ji Yunsheng for no reason? also said that Mrs. Yan had the idea of marrying Yan Jingshu in the past, but for so many days, Mrs. Yan just asked Yan Jingshu to follow her to practice housekeeping, and did not reveal that she had the intention of marrying the Ji family, why did she say that? Received the benefits of Ji Yunsheng? Or is there something that happened between Yan Jingshu and Ji Yunsheng these days, and she doesn't know about it? What kind of game did she do by doing this?

Yan Meng thought about it and couldn't help but lean her hand against the wall behind her and knock it, an echo interrupted her train of thought, in front of her was Yan Bocheng's study, the wall was hollow, she could understand, but this was also empty behind her? Could it be that there is a secret room behind him?

Yan Meng couldn't help but start groping on the wall behind him. There is a piece of masonry that feels much worse to the touch of the wall than the one next to it, and it feels looser to the touch.

Yan Meng was a little hesitant to press it down, now Yan Bocheng is still in the study, she is separated from him by a wall, if there is any movement in the operation of the organ here, will Yan Bocheng feel it?

"Limber!" I only heard Yan Bocheng shouting over there, interrupting Yan Meng's thoughts.

"Sir." An old voice sounded.

"Get on the carriage and go out with me."

"Yes."

Yan Meng waited here for a while, and after a while, Lin Bo's voice sounded over there: "Master, the carriage and horses are ready." Then I heard the sound of the door shut, and there was no more sound.

Yan Meng waited for a while, felt that there was really no sound coming from there, put his mind at ease, and pressed the stone brick just now.

Contrary to Yan Meng's expectations, this mechanism did not make any sound, but saw the stone door behind him slowly lift upward, and the appearance behind the stone door leaked little by little, it was a secret room.

The secret room should have opened the window, and a little light stole out of the door, so that Yan Meng could see the true face of this secret passage, on the right was the passage that he had just entered, because the light source was not clear, she could see a small section of passage outside the door, just like the appearance she had just explored, there were stone bricks on both sides of the passage, leaving a width for only one person to pass through. And this passage is not a straight line, and she has been waiting for her to walk just now, but now it looks more like a curve, as if it was made because the secret room inside is round.

Looking along the left, I saw that there was a backward turn not far in front of me, and stone steps were built, which must be the passage for Yan Bocheng's study to enter. If you go any further, you can't see it realistically, and it's pitch black.

Yan Meng waited for the stone door to stop and dodged into the secret room.
