Zhao Po opened his mouth and said, "Eldest Princess, everyone knows the purpose of our coming here today. Song Jue and I don't want to force the eldest princess to do anything you don't want to, but the most effective way to avoid the marriage contract right now is for you to marry the master of the Su hall. ”

The eldest princess said: "The identity of Hall Master Su does not meet the requirements of my father and the emperor for the emperor's son-in-law. ”

Song Jue replied: "Please rest assured, princess, as long as you and Hall Master Su are willing to make this marriage, I will naturally find a way to create another identity for Hall Master Su." ”

Seeing that the eldest princess was shaken, Zhao Po turned to the prince and Su Zijin and said, "I have never felt that the relationship between the two is any unbearable. But I think the two of you also know what they will face in today's world once this secret is exposed. ”

Song Jue took over the conversation: "The prince has carried the eyes of countless people of Dayu since he was born, and Master Su is also a figure with a face in the rivers and lakes. But once the secrets of the two guardians are exposed to the sun, they have to accept the surprise, contempt and ridicule of the world, and the former relatives and friends question, discuss and ridicule in person or behind their backs. The few people who support both of them will suffer the same criticism. Is this what you want to see? ”

Zhao Po looked at the eyes of the crown prince and Su Zijin sincerely: "But if Hall Master Su becomes the emperor's son-in-law, not only can he be maintained by the royal family, but the two don't have to meet secretly." I really hope you both think about it. ”

There was silence in the air.

The eyes of the crown prince and the eldest princess met, the prince lowered his head suddenly, and the eldest princess suddenly smiled when she saw this scene.

Zhao Po breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. She was about to get up when the lights in the room suddenly went out.

Zhao Po looked around suspiciously, and Su Zijin asked in a deep voice with a secret voice, "What happened outside?" ”

There was still silence in the air.

Su Zijin said in a low voice: "The person guarding the door of the inner hall is gone. ”

Suddenly, he shouted alertly, "Hold your breath!" ”

But it was too late, Zhao Po, the crown prince, Bai Li Ye and Song Jue had already fainted to the ground, and the eldest princess and Su Zijin couldn't hold out for a long time.

When Zhao Po woke up, there was only Bai Li Ye beside him.

Zhao Po anxiously pushed Bai Li Ye.

The latter woke up in a daze and looked around suspiciously.

"It's just the two of us, everyone else should have been captured." Zhao Po tried to calm down.

"Why don't you arrest us?"

"Apparently they think the two of us are rubbish." Zhao Po said, got up and walked to the door, quietly pushed the door open a crack, and looked out through the crack.

She shook her head and retreated: "There's no one outside." On the way here, Song Jue told me that Su Zijin specially vacated Mingyi Hall today to avoid leaking the content of the meeting. Now, it seems, this gives the enemy a chance. ”

Just when the two of them were at a loss, there was a sound of footsteps.

Zhao Po held his breath and grabbed the corner of his clothes nervously.

Is the comer friend or foe?

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and finally, Zhao Po saw the faces of the people who came clearly and breathed a sigh of relief.

It's Hua Ying and Su Zijin.

Zhao Po hurriedly greeted him and asked, "What about Song Jue and the prince?" ”

Hua Ying said: "Su Zijin and I woke up a little earlier than you. We went out through a secret passage behind the inner hall, and there were traces of many people walking on the road, and Ziqing and Song Jue should have been taken away from there. We were afraid that they would come back, so we didn't dare to go too far. ”

Su Zijin said: "I'll send you to the nearest post station, and then go to Ziqing." ”

Hua Ying nodded.

Zhao Po shook his head: "I'll go with you." ”

Hua Ying and Su Zijin looked at Zhao Po suspiciously.

Zhao Po smiled calmly: "The crown prince is the younger brother of the eldest princess and the lover of Hall Master Su. Naturally, you will go and save him. Song Jue is my man, and I have to go to him too. ”

Bai Li Ye lowered his head and hesitated for a moment, but also made up his mind: "I want to go too." ”

Hua Ying looked at Zhao Po approvingly and nodded.

The four of them cheered up and entered the secret passage.

Mingyi Hall is built in the middle of the mountain, and this secret passage, to put it bluntly, is a long mountain tunnel.

The tunnel was dark and damp, and the surrounding stone walls smelled musty.

Su Zijin lit the fire, the dim light of the fire became more and more terrifying, Zhao Po could barely see the wriggling nameless soft worms, and there were a few bent weeds on the tunnel dirt road.

The tunnel is dark and endless, and in this environment, the passage of time seems to be an empty thing.

I don't know how long I walked, but Su Zijin, who was in the lead, suddenly stopped.

There is a bifurcation in front of me.

Zhao Po turned his head to look at Bai Li Ye and asked him with his eyes who he wanted to go with.

Bai Li Ye tilted his head in embarrassment, his gaze wandering over Hua Ying and Su Zijin.

These two people don't look very compatible.

But Huaying is a girl after all, it's better to follow her than with a big man, right?

Bai Li Ye pointed at Hua Ying, Zhao Po and Hua Ying exchanged a look, and the latter nodded.

So Bai Li Ye followed Hua Ying, Zhao Po followed Su Zijin and continued to move forward.

Bai Li Ye had never been in such a dark environment, it was already difficult to maintain his balance, and he had to try not to let his skin touch the stone wall, especially the insects on the stone wall. Every step was extremely difficult.

Seeing Hua Ying walking like a fly, walking far ahead, Bai Li Ye only felt that he was alone in the secluded and terrifying mountains, and there was no one around, only beetles and soft insects whose names were unknown and unknown looking at him.

He couldn't help but panic, and shouted boldly: "Princess, can you come back and pull me?" ”

Hua Ying just walked forward: "You don't need to go too fast. After Su Zijin and I rescue Song Jue, we will send someone to find you. ”

"Then what if you can't save Song Jue?"

"Then it's useless for you to go fast."

Bai Li Ye was choked for a while, unable to refute. At this moment, he felt as if a swarm of insects had gathered around his feet, and he was aware of the noise of Suosuo.

He couldn't see these insects, and he didn't dare to look at them, and the fear and helplessness seemed to condense into solids and press him.

He gritted his teeth and shouted, "You're right, but I'm afraid!" Can you come back and take me? ”

After living for eighteen years, Hua Ying has never seen a man who can look like this.

She was suffocated, gasped hard, turned around and quickly walked to Bai Li Ye's side, and pulled Bai Li Ye, whose legs were too weak to walk, up.

"Oh, it's okay to be lighter, I hurt."

"Shut up! Otherwise, you'll go on your own. ”

Bai Li Ye immediately obediently silenced her, pulling the corner of Hua Ying's clothes and following her.

"Oops!" With a bang, Bai Li Ye was not paying attention and fell to the ground. The sound of insects moving.

Bai Li Ye screamed frantically and desperately retreated.

Hua Ying reluctantly picked Bai Li Ye up from the ground and helped him shoot off the worms on his body.

"I've never seen a man like you."

"I've never seen a woman like you." Bai Li Ye immediately retorted. "How can there be a woman who is not even afraid of insects."

"I've killed thousands of people, and I've been to a place that is 10,000 times more dangerous than this, do you think I'll be afraid?" Hua Ying pulled Bai Li Ye and continued to walk forward.

His performance just now was indeed not very powerful, Baili Ye flattened his mouth and walked forward with Hua Ying in silence.
