Walking down the steps of the secret room, Shen Qian stretched out his hand and touched the cave wall on his side for a long time, and finally touched a mechanism, the crack at the top slowly closed, and the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, the upper mechanism is not easy to be discovered, and they are more at ease when they do things underground.

After walking down the stairs, Meng Xiaoran quickly broke away from his hand, and Shen Qian didn't stop him anymore and let go of her hand. With a "stab", Shen Qian lit the fire fold, looked around, and sure enough, he saw a torch on the wall, he walked over and lit the torch, and then blew out the fire fold.

He picked up a torch, and the two walked forward together, the secret room under the ground was very well built, and it took a while to reach the end, according to Shen Qian's experience, there must be a few levels here, so he handed the torch to Meng Xiaoran, and looked around on the wall, and after a "click" sound, a stone door on the right side slowly opened.

Meng Xiaoran and Shen Qian were both happy, the two looked at each other, they were a little excited in their hearts, Meng Xiaoran walked in with a torch, raised the torch in his hand to the front, and in an instant a golden light flashed, Meng Xiaoran's eyes were shaken, and he subconsciously closed his eyes.

But Shen Qian clearly saw everything in front of him, Rao is that no matter how many worlds he has seen, he was also shocked by the scene in front of him, Meng Xiaoran opened his eyes and saw his face full of surprise, he couldn't help but be curious, turned his head to look, and the torch in his hand almost fell to the ground.

In front of them, the huge secret room was filled with gold bricks one by one!

She couldn't believe what she saw, so she walked over and picked up a piece, and put it on the pad, it was very weighty, she turned her head to look at Shen Qian and asked, "Are these all gold bricks?" ”

Shen Qian had already recovered from the shock and nodded, "I think it should be, Liu Yingyuan opened a gold mine privately, and it turned out that all the gold was hidden here, let's find it quickly, maybe those account books are here." ”

Meng Xiaoran nodded, a little excited in her heart, if she could find these things tonight, then the Prime Minister's Mansion would be finished this time, and then she would go to find Liu Ruxue, and Xiaocui's revenge would soon be avenged.

The two quickly searched around the secret room, and Shen Qian walked to the corner on the side, where there was a bookshelf, and he immediately walked over. There are many account books on the bookshelf, Shen Qian flipped through them, they are all other assets, it seems that this Liu Yingyuan, in addition to gold mines, has many other things in private.

Shen Qian sneered and put away all the account books, and continued to search for others, and finally saw a small wooden box at the bottom, he took out the wooden box, and the outside was locked.

Shen Qian took out the soft sword on his waist, waved it lightly, and the lock fell to the ground, he opened the wooden box, and there was a stack of account books in it, he took out a book and quickly opened it, it was the account book of the gold mine, he put the account book in it, and hugged it with the wooden box.

"Xiaoran, don't look for it, I've found it!" Meng Xiaoran was squatting on the other side, rummaging in the box full of gold, silver and jewelry, and immediately walked over when he heard his words, and saw a large stack of account books and a wooden box in his arms, and immediately rejoiced, "These are?" ”

"Well, let's get out of here!" Shen Qian nodded and said, the two quickly left the secret room, closed the door, walked to the entrance, Shen Qian pressed the mechanism and blew out the torch, and the two left smoothly.

As soon as they came out, the two of them quickly ran towards the medicine village not far away, which was the closest to Chen Jingfeng's place, and it was safest to rush to that place first.

A quarter of an hour later, the two arrived at Chen Jingfeng, Chen Jingfeng had already fallen asleep, and when he heard the sound, he immediately picked up his sword and came out, and was a little surprised to see that it was the two of them, "Why are you?" ”

"Let's go inside!"

The three of them returned to Chen Jingfeng's room, and after closing the door, Shen Qian put down all the account books he was holding, picked up a book and looked at it, shaking his head from time to time.

"This Liu Yingyuan is really bold!" After speaking, he looked at the other two and said, "I'm afraid this time the Prime Minister's Mansion is over." ”

Meng Xiaoran's heart was relieved, and she felt a sense of pleasure of revenge, I don't know when she had regarded the Prime Minister as an enemy? Maybe it's after Xiaocui was insulted.

After sitting for a while, Shen Qian took his things and left with Meng Xiaoran, and when they parted, he said to Meng Xiaoran: "You can find a way to leave the Prime Minister's Mansion in the past two days, go to the courtyard I gave you, or take refuge here in Jingfeng." ”

"yes, I know." In any case, she can't just leave like this, she still needs to talk to Lu Ziqing, and let him leave quickly to avoid trouble, so as not to be implicated.

This night, Meng Xiaoran lost sleep again, but because she was happy and excited, thinking that her forbearance for so long was finally coming to an end, she couldn't help but be happy, but when she thought of Xiao Cui, who died not long ago, her heart couldn't help but start to ache.

Shen Qian hurried back to the mansion, a man in a dark brocade robe in the study was waiting there, and when he heard the sound, he turned around, and the light reflected that it was the Seventh Prince Dongfang Rui, he saw Shen Qian carrying a burden behind him, and walked forward with a happy face, "Senior brother, you sent someone to deliver news to me late at night, but what is the important matter?" ”

Shen Qian nodded, untied the burden behind him, opened it and put it on the table, there were several account books in it, as well as a wooden box, Dongfang Rui took out an account book and looked at it, the more he looked at it, the darker his face became, and finally closed the account book and slapped the table heavily, "This Liu Yingyuan is really bold!" ”

Shen Qian opened the wooden box, took out one of the books and handed it to him, "Seventh Prince, take a look at this one." After Dongfang Rui finished reading it, the whole person was in shock, and looked at Shen Qian in disbelief, "Senior brother, did this Liu Yingyuan really open a gold mine privately?" Shen Qian had also handed him the news before, but he never really took it to heart, firstly because there was no evidence, and secondly, he felt that he did not have the courage, but now that it was clearly written in the account book, it was difficult for him not to believe it.

Shen Qian sneered in his heart, looked at Dongfang Rui and said, "The Seventh Prince has never believed in me, so why should he cooperate with me?" ”

Seeing this, Dongfang Rui immediately explained: "Senior brother misunderstood, I didn't disbelieve you, I just felt a little surprised." ”

"The secret room has been found in the Yuqing Mountain outside the city, and it is full of gold." Shen Qian's words were shocking, Dongfang Rui's face was shocked, and he was speechless for a long time.

"Now is not the time to be shocked, we have to quickly think of a careful way to send this news to the emperor, and we have to take you out." Shen Qian looked at his appearance, displeased in his heart, but his face was not obvious, so he had to open his mouth to remind.

Dongfang Rui came back to his senses at this time, and immediately nodded, "What Senior Brother said, then what should we do?" ”

……

At this time, Liu Yingyuan didn't know that the fate of the Prime Minister's Mansion was in the hands of others, and he went to marry 100,000 taels of gold tonight, just to give Murong Xiuqi a bargaining chip tomorrow, and he privately learned that now the treasury of Chaoyang State is very empty, maybe this 100,000 taels of gold can make Murong Xiuqi compromise, and their Liu family can prosper for a long time.

Late at night on the second day, a woman in palace costume hurriedly walked to the palace gate, took out the token of Kunning Palace, and said to the guards guarding the door: "The queen mother ordered the slave maid to go out of the palace to invite the uncle into the palace. ”

In the middle of the night, how could the queen ask her uncle to enter the palace? The guard glanced at the little palace maid who lowered her head, glanced at the token in her hand, hesitated for a while, and was about to let the palace maid raise her head, when the guard commander on the side walked over, "What are you doing?" ”

The guard immediately bowed his head and replied: "Lord Qiyu, this palace maid is holding the token of Kunning Palace, saying that the queen mother ordered her to go out of the palace to invite Uncle Guo, and the subordinates are thinking that it is late at night, how can the queen mother let Uncle Guo enter the palace at this time, I am afraid that something ......is wrong."

"The queen must have something important to discuss with Uncle Guo, Uncle Guo is the prime minister, it must be a big deal, let people out quickly, don't delay, if you miss the mother's big event, you and I won't be able to eat and go around!" The commander of the guards interrupted the guards and made a decision.

The guard was stunned for a moment, and finally returned the token in his hand to the maid and let her out.

As soon as the palace maid left the palace gate, she hurriedly walked to the side, and after staying away from the palace gate, she looked around, and quietly got into an inconspicuous carriage on the side of the road, and the carriage soon disappeared into the night.

Half an hour later, the carriage stopped in front of a courtyard in the middle of the city, and the maid got out of the carriage, went to the door, and knocked lightly, and in a moment the door opened from the inside, and the maid went in.

As soon as she entered the house, she was pulled into her arms, "Fengluan, I haven't seen you for more than ten years, do you miss me?" ”

This "palace maid" is the queen mother who should be waiting for her brother in Kunning Palace at this moment, Liu Fengluan, she got up from Murong Xiuqi's arms, looked at him and asked, "You asked me to come here, for what?" ”

Murong Xiuqi saw that she was not as dizzy as before, she was dazzled by her words, and she was slightly lost in her heart, and at the same time sneered, but she had grown a lot.

Thinking of this, he put on a look of receiving injuries again, and walked to the side with a lonely face, "Fengluan, you and I have been separated for eighteen years, and you were the one I couldn't let go of when I left, in the past eighteen years, I have missed you day and night, I didn't expect you to treat me so coldly, it seems that you have forgotten all those oaths and alliances we made in the past." ”

Liu Fengluan's heart softened by what he said, and he remembered everything between the two of them in the past, and he was full of emotion for a while, "Xiuqi, I'm sorry, I ...... I just ......"

Murong Xiuqi turned to look at her, "You don't have to explain to me, I know that now you and I can't help ourselves, and I just came to see you to ask you for one thing." ”

Liu Fengluan's heart jumped, and he pretended to be calm, "What do you ask to testify?" ”

"Jue'er, is it our son?" Murong Xiuqi had been staring at Liu Fengluan when he asked, and when he saw the panic flashing on her face, he knew that he had guessed correctly.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Jue'er is the emperor's child and the concubine of the palace, how can it be what you say! Liu Fengluan forced to calm down and reprimand, but when he saw Murong Xiuqi suddenly smiled, he pulled her into his arms with one hand, "Luan'er is still the same as before, and her eyes don't dare to look at people when she lies. ”

Liu Fengluan knew that he couldn't hide it, and panicked in his heart, "What are you going to do?" It's not half of your interest to poke this thing out! ”
