"Well," Li Chengxuan further explained, "The 'wing' and 'Zhen' columns belong to the south, and you just said that Pei Xingli knocked on the wall seven times, and the beginning of the "Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng" is these four sentences, so I thought of it. ”

"Then you knocked on the wall seven times according to the direction of the Seven Houses in the South?"

"Yes." Li Chengxuan replied casually, his attention on the mechanisms on both sides of the corridor.

Xilingyue couldn't imagine how many stunts this prince still hadn't shown, and in addition to admiring or admiring at the moment, she was close to throwing herself to the ground.

The two of them were talking like this, and they had already reached the end of the corridor, stepped out, and sure enough, they arrived at Li Qi's study, and the exit was under the floor tiles in the east corner. Li Chengxuan walked straight to the "Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng", raised his hand to uncover the scroll, and as he expected, a boxy door was revealed, which was the mechanism at the entrance of the secret room.

"The prince is really amazing!" Xiling Yue was amazed again.

"It's amazing." An indifferent voice answered abruptly, Pei Xingli leaned against the door of the study with his hands folded, and looked at the two of them coldly.

Xiling Yue didn't expect that one day she would also act as a coachman, and drove the carriage in the direction of the Imperial Garden.

It's a long story.

Half an hour ago, Pei Xingli arrested her and Li Chengxuan, but he didn't embarrass them, but prepared a carriage to help them escape from the Jiedu Embassy smoothly. Li Chengxuan took the opportunity to propose a secret conversation with Pei Xingli, but time was pressing, so the two big men locked themselves in the carriage and talked, pushing her, a weak woman, outside to drive the horse.

Although Xiling Yue was not angry, she also knew that the stakes were high. She tried not to disturb the secret conversation between the two, but she did not recognize the way from the Jiedu Envoy to the Imperial Garden, and had to interrupt them once to ask about the journey. When she lifted the curtain, she saw Li Chengxuan's calm demeanor, while Pei Xingli frowned, as if he was facing some difficult problem.

I didn't want to know that Li Chengxuan definitely wanted to take him for his own use, and promised him a high-ranking official and asked him to keep tonight's secret. And Pei Xingli must be making a difficult choice between family affection and future.

Xilingyue naturally didn't ask a word more, only coughed lightly: "That, Lord Wang, I'm lost." ”

Li Chengxuan sighed helplessly: "It seems that Xiao Guo is not completely useless. With that, he glanced out the window, pointed out the route in a low voice, and emphatically emphasized, "You have to hurry, I guess Li Qi is almost there." ”

"Ahh Xiling Yue suddenly became nervous, "What should I do then?" Won't we go back and fall into a trap? ”

Li Chengxuan pondered for a moment: "Go back first." ”

Xilingyue knew that he must have an idea, so he had to hurry up and continue to hurry, fortunately, he was able to save the envoy and the imperial garden

are all in Kerry Place, which is full of mansions and annexes of noble clan relatives, and the patrol team does not dare to intercept and check it easily. The three of them returned to the back gate of the Imperial Garden without danger, and saw that Xiao Guo was already waiting at the door, and was stomping his feet anxiously.

Seeing that Li Chengxuan came back safely, Xiao Guo almost burst into tears, and jumped up to hug his arms: "Lord Wang, it's really scared to death!" ”

Li Chengxuan comforted him very patiently: "Okay, okay, don't let the guests see the joke." ”

"Guests? Who? Xiao Guo glanced left and right, only to see Xilingyue and Pei Xingli standing in front of the carriage, both looking at him with strange eyes.

Xiao Guo immediately let go of his hand: "Ha, it turned out to be Pei ...... General Pei is here. What a coincidence, your uncle is also there! ”

Xilingyue and Li Chengxuan hurriedly glanced at each other, and the former sighed nervously: "He is really fast!" ”

"Yes," Xiao Guo also looked nervous, "he said yes...... Come to send the Queen Mother's birthday ......"

At this moment, Li Qi has been waiting in the main hall of the Imperial Garden for a long time, and the birthday gang is fake, checking whether Li Chengxuan is true in the Imperial Garden, he wants to know if Li Chengxuan is related to the case of Bai Juyi's assassination tonight.

According to the report of the guards and the porter, a mysterious person pretended to be Bai Juyi tonight, swaggered into the Jiedu Embassy through the back door, and brought two companions. Because these three people were wearing cloaks and had waist cards in the house, the porter vaguely recognized that one of them looked like Bai Juyi, so he let the three of them in. The target of the three should be the study building, and they deliberately sneaked in when he went to visit his wife in Jinshan Temple, and I don't know what they were looking for.

Coincidentally, he suddenly changed his mind tonight and went down the mountain to go home early, and happened to go to the study building to discuss matters. The plan of the three thieves was disrupted, so they had to leave in a hurry, but on the way, they met the real Bai Juyi, who was recognized on the spot, and the two sides fought. After all, Bai Juyi was a scribe and was outnumbered, so he was injured and hung up.

He suspected that this matter was related to Li Chengxuan, so he pretended to investigate one or two in the name of transporting the Birth Gang. But he had been in the Imperial Garden for half an hour, and he had never seen Li Chengxuan's shadow, and it was reported that Mu Xian Yazhu had not seen Xilingyue's figure......

Thinking of this, Li Qi couldn't help but squint his eyes, showing a bit of murderous intent.

Bai Juyi naturally followed, and one of his right arms was tightly bandaged and hung on his chest, pretending to hesitate: "Lord, you came late at night to send the birthday gang, is this reason too reluctant?" ”

"Not reluctantly," Li Qi put the gift slip in his hand on the table, "The Queen Mother's birthday is so precious, and it is too ostentatious to transport it during the day." Wouldn't it be a good excuse for this official to deliberately choose to send it at night in order to avoid the thieves' concerns? ”

Bai Juyi said in his heart that Li Qi was really an old fox, but he replied: "The lord is smart!" This is really wonderful, even King Fu can't find anything wrong! Having said that, he was very anxious in his heart, and he could only hope that Li Chengxuan and Xiling Yue were resourceful and could escape this catastrophe.

He was thinking about it when he suddenly heard a noise outside the door - "Lady! Wife! You can't go in there! It was Xiao Guo's hasty stopping.

"Don't stop me, I must see the prince today!" Xiling Yue replied angrily.

Immediately after, the figures of the two appeared outside the main hall door. Bai Juyi saw Xiling Yue walking in angrily, Xiao Guo was beside her and tried to stop her, but the other party was a woman and she was angry, so Xiao Guo couldn't stop her.

The two walked into the main hall while arguing, and Xiao Guo was still trying to stop it: "Lady, there are distinguished guests in the garden, you really can't go in!" ”

Xi Lingyue lifted her skirt and stepped into the threshold, and scolded him without raising her head: "Who are you fooling!" In the middle of the night, who will come to be a guest, will the brain be in water? After she said this, she pretended to raise her head inadvertently, and when she saw Li Qi and Bai Juyi sitting in the hall, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, "Ah, it turned out that Li Servant was shooting here......"

Li Qi sat still and didn't move: "Xiling lady, why are you here?" ”

Xilingyue said with a stupid expression: "No...... It's nothing ......," she glanced at Xiao Guo resentfully.

Xiao Guo immediately spread his hands: "Look, I said that there are distinguished guests in the garden, but you don't believe it." ”

Xilingyue was silent for a moment, and said, "Since it's a servant shooting here, I'll leave first." Before she could finish speaking, she turned and walked out.
