Chapter 40: Mochizuki Dan
Langying did not return to the small courtyard where Liu Yuyao lived, but went directly to the prince's bedroom.
The door of the dormitory was closed, and it was impossible to see the situation inside, but from the conversation between the little eunuchs just now, it could be heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wanted to bathe and change clothes, but he was not allowed to wait alone.
This is a bit inconsistent with the prince's personality, a person like him who pursues the ultimate perfection and ultimate enjoyment, it is impossible for him not to let people take a good bath after the smoke and fire in the Chang'an Palace.
Walking around to the back of the dormitory, she pushed open a small openwork window.
There was silence in the huge dormitory, and the shadows looked around and listened in all directions.
There was nothing left in front of her except the empty tables, chairs and beds, and the prince did not make a sound in it, for she could only hear the chirping of birds in her ears.
Just as she was about to sneak into the dormitory quietly, there was a muffled sound from the bed against the wall.
Langying then saw that a good bed board was actually opened to the side, and soon, a person walked out of the steps from under the bed board.
Brushing the dust on his clothes, Prince Li Che frowned, and slammed the bed shut.
"Secret Passage?" Shadow couldn't help but be excited about the secret she had discovered, and what was underneath the secret was a secret she urgently needed to unravel at this time.
"Your Highness, the servant has brought you water."
"Come in."
Li Che responded, and Xiao Anzi, the personal eunuch, took a group of eunuchs to carry buckets of hot water and poured them into the bath in the inner room, while Li Che took off his clothes while walking, threw them on the ground casually, and glanced at Xiao Anzi and the others, "Go out." ”
"Yes, if Your Highness wants to add water, you will be called a minion."
The room was quiet again, and Li Che, who had entered the inner room, took off the last underwear on his body, and soaked comfortably in the bath.
The bath was made of jade, the water was clear, and the mist was steaming, and he leaned on the shore and closed his eyes a little tiredly.
At the same time, the shadow quietly climbed through the window, and the nimble figure did not seem to be an adult.
She quietly and quickly ran to the bed, looked left and right, and tried to find the mechanism to open the secret room, but found nothing.
She didn't know how Li Che opened the secret room from the inside of the secret room, but she clearly saw that Li Che raised his hand vigorously and closed the bedboard.
Do you have to use brute force to open this bed?
Touching the bed board with her hand, she did find a gap in her carefulness, and just when she was cautious, trying to see if this bed board could be lifted by herself, a murderous aura quietly appeared behind her.
Before she could put her hand down, she could clearly feel the sharp weapon against her waist.
"Heh, this prince thought it was Liu Yuyao who came."
Li Che's lazy voice sounded behind her, and he immediately turned to her, looking at her for a long time.
The man was not wearing an inch, and a white cloth was scrawled around his waist, which could be regarded as blocking the scenery of the lower half of his body.
The man just came out of the bath, he was not thin with broad shoulders and narrow waist, and he was even a little strong, and the water droplets slipped down his body and dripped all the way.
Even if it was a ruthless person like Shadow, he couldn't help but blush when he saw the man shirtless.
However, she could not move, or even look away, because the man was holding a small jeweled dagger against the death hole on her waist.
Just one more inch forward would be enough for her to fall to the ground and be unable to resist.
"Since you have been caught, if you want to kill or scrape, listen to it."
"Just one Su Liangdi died, and another princess's personal maid died, this prince will really make trouble for himself."
The shadow was arrogant, standing there and not answering, obviously not intending to intercede for himself.
Listen to Li Che continue: "As long as you promise this prince that everything you see today will not be revealed, I will spare you from death." ”
Shadow is not afraid of death, from the time she began to receive training from the Liu family, the most common sentence she heard was that you must be ready to die for your master at any time, so this threat of the prince is almost untrue.
However, for some reason, maybe she began to appreciate this brave and resourceful person who was different from others, and maybe she began to want to explore and understand what kind of road this man would take in the future.
She blurted out a question, "I promised, do you dare to believe it?" ”
The so-called treachery, one set in front of her and one set behind the other abounds, and it is impossible for her, a dead soldier who has been cultivated since childhood in someone else's family, to be loyal to the second master.
"Of course I do."
Four words, the man said lightly, there seemed to be no hesitation at all, and the words seemed to have the charm of turning all beings upside down, and no one could bear to refuse after listening to it.
It's the same with Shadow, her heart was shocked, and she almost blurted out I promise you.
But she is sensible, the prince has always covered himself up very well, and it would be a pity that she found out that the prince had such a big secret and didn't tell the queen.
However, being trusted is a kind of thing that is enough to warm the heart.
"I ......"
She hesitated for a moment, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she saw the prince quickly flick a pill into her mouth, without waiting for her to make a gesture of resistance.
The man, who didn't seem to have any martial arts background, stepped forward, pressed his blade against her body with one hand, and clamped her mandible with the other, forcing her to swallow the pill.
Shadow vomited while struggling, but couldn't spit out the pill.
"Don't worry, this thing melts in your mouth, so you don't expect to spit it out."
She looked at the smug man in front of her with red eyes, looking at his cold smile, and she only felt heartache, this was not the reason for the pill, but her own reason.
She didn't know why her heart hurt, but she thought that trust had been broken after all.
"Do you know what this is?"
It doesn't matter what it is, it doesn't matter if it's poison, she's a dead soldier.
"This is the 'Moon Watching Pill', every time the moon is full, you have to take the antidote, otherwise you will suffer from the pain of ten thousand ants, I believe it is more painful than the pain you have suffered before."
The prince said, playing with the dagger in his hand, not at all worried that she would take the opportunity to escape or fight back.
After a long time, Lang Ying finally said faintly: "When I am still Your Highness, I will really believe me......"
"Only those who are controlled by this prince do I believe it, and you'd better remember that." The man looked at her coldly, "Moreover, you don't want to go against this prince, you are not afraid of death, it does not mean that Liu Yuyao is not afraid, if you accidentally say something, your master and servant can be accompanied by Huangquan Road." ”
Hehe, Lang Ying let out a delicious laugh.
She is indeed loyal to Liu Yuyao, whether she is a slave or a dead soldier, the safety of her master is always the first priority, she would rather be pierced by ten thousand swords, but also protect the safety of her master behind her.
However, what does the current Liu Yuyao have to do with her?
"I remember what Your Highness said." Lang Ying walked out slowly, pushing open the door, startling the eunuch guarding the door.
Cautiously looking into the dormitory, he saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was standing with a long body showing a good spring light, and suddenly felt as if he had a needle's eye, and quickly closed the door firmly.
After noon, Zhu Wanzhao, the waiter of the Criminal Department, entered the East Palace to meet him.
Langying looked at the prince's study from afar, although it was a high-rise mansion in the palace, but this study was built very chic, she couldn't help but wonder if there was any secret passage in this study leading to other places.
The squire of the criminal department stayed until late and walked out of the prince's study, and no one knew what they said and did in the study.
When the prince sent Zhu Wanzhao out, he saw her standing under the porch from a distance, smiling slightly, dressed in a bamboo pattern white bottom piping regular clothes, he was like a Zhilan jade tree, standing in the wind.
The shadow suddenly felt panicked and avoided it.
However, before she could dodge, she heard the prince say aloud from afar: "Do you want to intercede for your master?" ”
Finally gave herself a reasonable reason, she bowed down and said, "I hope His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will release the Crown Princess, she hasn't eaten or drunk for a day." ”
"She was imprisoned by the queen, how could this prince let her out on his behalf, but what happened when the water and rice didn't enter?"
Originally, I didn't plan to intercede for Liu Yuyao, but since the words have been said, how can there be any reason to take them back.
Lang Ying had no choice but to say: "Mama Jiao said that the rules in the palace are that people facing the wall can't eat or drink. ”
Li Che smiled, and naturally knew in his heart that Mama Jiao was deliberately making things difficult for this Liu Yuyao, he knelt in the Taimiao, that was punishment, it was normal to not eat or drink, but he was not hungry.
But Liu Yuyao is facing the wall at home, that is to think about it, but she can't starve a good girl to death.
Thinking of this, he walked forward, "Prince Ben, go over and take a look, by the way, you go to the small kitchen and get her some food." ”
The shadow answered the word yes, and watched the figure disappear around the corner of the corridor before turning away.
Xiao Anzi was just about to reach out and push open the door of the dark room, when the prince patted him on the shoulder, and he quickly bowed down and stepped aside.
The so-called dark room has no windows on three sides, and a heavy wooden door blocks all light from the outside world.
When Li Che lightly pushed the door of the dark room open, bright light from the outside shone into the dark room.
Liu Yuyao was lying on the table, holding a brush in her hand and falling asleep.
There was a pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and a small candle on the table, which should have punished her for writing articles such as "Female Commandments" and "Women's Training", but there was not a word on the paper, and some were just a large mass of ink of different shapes.
It looks like something was written and then scribbled out by her, and what was written again, and then erased by her again.
The prince picked up the paper he had written, and under the paper, the ink that was thick in it clearly presented the truth: Li Che is a big bastard! Don't give food to my aunt and grandmother! This enmity is not shared!
Xing may have written some words of gambling and vows, but because her handwriting was so casual, the prince, a famous calligrapher, was unrecognizable.
Sweeping her sleeping tired face with a piece of paper, the prince said impatiently, "Get up, it's dawn." ”
