Chapter 40: Mention of the Underground Palace

Seeing Yu Panxi come in, Xiao Chumo realized that the atmosphere between him and Chu Lu was a little strange, and immediately let go of the hand holding her, and said to Yu Panxi: "She, she is a little emotional, we have nothing to ......"

Chu Lu was also afraid that Yu Panxi would misunderstand, so he hurriedly said: "It was the slave who remembered the past, and only then did she lose control of her emotions for a while, so don't misunderstand, madam." ”

Seeing the two of them like this, Yu Pan smiled suddenly, "What are you two doing so nervously, it makes people wonder what is between you." She walked up to Hatsuru and asked her in a low voice, "What's wrong?" looked at Xiao Chumo again, "Are you embarrassing her, she is my girl, dare to bully her, I won't spare you." ”

The two of them saw that she really didn't misunderstand, and they were both relieved.

Xiao Chumo briefly told her the reason for the incident, but did not tell her life experience in front of her first appearance.

After hearing this, Yu Panxi looked at Chu Lu and couldn't help laughing: "But what a stupid girl, you are my maid, do your best for me, I am not good to you, who is good to me." ”

comforted her again, Yu Panxi said: "I made some osmanthus cakes today, I left them for you, go eat them quickly, I'm afraid it will all go into Yinling's stomach if it's late." ”

Chu Lu's mood was already much better, and when he heard this, he couldn't stay any longer, so he left and went straight to the kitchen.

Yu Panxi shook her head slightly and smiled, turned around to open the food box, and brought out the food she had cooked.

Seeing her demure and gentle appearance, Xiao Chumo walked over and hugged her from behind, looking down and sniffing the fragrance around her neck.

Yu Panxi pushed him, "I just came out of the kitchen, and my body smells of oil smoke, don't get so close to me, be careful of getting it." ”

"It's fragrant, it smells good." Xiao Chumo refused to retreat, holding her with one hand, and taking a piece of osmanthus cake with the other and putting it in his mouth, "It tastes really good, no wonder Chu Lu is so nervous." ”

Speaking of Chu Lu, Yu Panxi asked about Chu Lu's life experience, she thought that Chu Lu had been by Xiao Chumo's side all the time, and he was a son of a family who practiced martial arts, but today it doesn't seem to be like this.

Xiao Chumo couldn't say anything in front of the first appearance, and when Yu Panxi asked, he told her about the first revelation's life experience, "The first revelation originally had some fists and feet, and she had experienced the experience of fighting on the battlefield, so I put her by your side, first, to protect you, and secondly, to let her identity pass a clear path, so that she can find a good husband in the future." ”

"It's also a shame that you're thoughtful." Yu Panxi nodded and said: "It's a hard job, don't worry, when the situation is stable, I will definitely find a good family for her." ”

Xiao Chumo smiled, "Madame, I am naturally the most at ease." ”

Yu Panxi glanced at him with disgust, "Let's eat!" ”

The two had dinner, Xiao Chumo didn't go to the army, and the husband and wife rarely sat together, making a pot of tea, sitting in front of the window, one reading a book, and the other embroidering.

Although Yu Panxi didn't want to spoil such a good atmosphere, she had to ask something, "How did you think about it, take me with you?" ”

Xiao Chumo put down the book in his hand when he heard this, and sighed lightly, "How can you let me rest assured of your safety." ”

"I'm in the army, so what's not safe." Yu Panxi said again: "Now that the situation is complicated, I feel that I am really in danger if I stay in the capital." ”

Xiao Chumo's expression was grim, and he didn't need Yu Panxi to say more, he had already figured out the joints, "Do you think the emperor will use you to coerce me?" ”

"I hope it doesn't happen." Yu Panxi also had a little coldness between his eyebrows, "I understand your character, why doesn't the emperor understand, you care about the world, presumably even if you send troops, you won't easily do anything to the chaotic people, and ...... when the time comes."

She stopped and glanced at Xiao Chumo, "There is one more thing I want to tell you." ”

Xiao Chumo immediately asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Yu Panxi said: "I also just remembered, I went to visit my father before, he said what he saw in the palace, saying that Shuiyun Palace does not seem to be only on the ground, but also underground, he has seen a group of people with soil every day, and they are not imprisoned with those people on the ground." ”

"Underground?" Xiao Chumo immediately frowned, "Is there a dungeon building under the Shuiyun Palace?" ”

Yu Panxi also frowned and said: "When my father told me before, I didn't care about it, and I thought it was to repair a canal or something, but now I think about it, it's a little unusual." Shuiyun Palace is afraid that it is not as simple as just a palace. ”

"I'll send someone to investigate!" Xiao Chumo's face was also a little dignified and cold.

In the past two years, Mo Baozhou's means of fun are full of tricks, and the methods of torturing people have become more and more appalling, and the purpose of building such a dungeon is nothing more than these two kinds of things, and it will definitely not be useful.

"Be careful." Yu Panxi couldn't help but admonish.

Xiao Chumo nodded, he couldn't sit still, and immediately arranged for people to go to the palace to investigate.

Yu Panxi watched him leave, and his face gradually sank. Yu Feng didn't say anything about the dungeon at all, it was because she originally knew that Shuiyun Palace had an dungeon, and since there was one in the previous life, Mo Baozhou would definitely not be built in this life, otherwise his sister, who was also his beloved Mo Yi, should hide somewhere.

When she said it, she wanted Xiao Chumo to know that he, the emperor, had long harbored evil intentions and secretly didn't know what he was planning!

That night, Xiao Chumo didn't come back until the dark of night, Yu Panxi was so anxious that he regretted letting him take this risk to investigate.

Just when she couldn't help but summon Ah Ye and ask him to find Xiao Chumo, she heard a sound on the roof, and before Yu Panxi could react, Xiao Chumo had already come in through the window from the eaves.

Seeing that it was Xiao Chumo, Yu Panxi immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and went up to him and asked, "Is it going well?" Nothing happened, right? ”

Xiao Chumo shook his head, changed the black clothes on his body, and then told Yu Panxi about what he had seen and heard in the palace.

He had first bought off the guards in the palace, and learned that there was indeed such a group of hard laborers, but they were held alone, and they had no way to find out what they had to say.

Xiao Chumo simply took people by himself and mixed into the palace, and after dark, he changed into night clothes and checked all over the Shuiyun Palace.

Even when it was dark, the laborers were still working, and sure enough, in a hidden place, he saw the laborers who were carrying the soil back and forth from the ground, and a steady stream of blue bricks and bluestones were being transported into it, and it was obvious that a large structure was being built underground.

He squatted around to observe, and found that these slaves were very closely guarded, and the guards did not allow them to contact the outside world at all, even when they were eating, they were specially transported to them to eat, and even the resting place was completely isolated from other slaves, which obviously did not want others to know that there was an underground palace under Shuiyun Palace.

It stands to reason that even if there is really a dungeon under Shuiyun Palace, it's nothing, the emperor's palace, he can do whatever he likes. But why is it so hidden? It's hard not to wonder why.
