Chapter 356: Thoughts
Oh, where else? Is it Madame who came forward to entertain you? Ouyang Shu asked in disbelief.
Liu Cong said: No, I came in from the secret passage at the back, and now I am in the secret room!
Ouyang Shu was even more surprised, he still didn't know what secret passages, secret rooms and other things were in this room.
What kind of secret passages and secret rooms are you talking about?
Liu Cong said a little embarrassed: Master Qiyu, our Li Mansion actually has a secret passage, and this secret passage can lead to a secret room. In various situations, in fact, the villain only learned today, master, you still met the master of the Xu Pavilion, and asked in person!
Ouyang Shu heard Liu Cong say this, his face improved, and said: Lead the way!
Liu Cong took Ouyang Shu into a small forest to the east of the house, walked on the winding path, and stopped in front of a rockery.
Liu Cong looked around with a pair of vigilant eyes for a while, listened intently for a while, and made sure that there was no one near him, before he stretched out his hand to take a stone from the rockery and poked it at a small hole in the rockery. This rockery is like a door, and the left and right sides are separated.
Ouyang Shu realized that this stone was actually a key, and this rockery turned out to be a door. Looking at such a well-camouflaged mechanism, Ouyang Shu couldn't help but sigh, under today's technical conditions, it is really not easy to make such an exquisite thing.
When Ouyang Shu and Liu Cong walked into the door, the rockery slowly closed on its own. But the light in the room is still abundant, and there is no problem for two people to walk through it.
After a while, the two of them came to a small room, Liu Cong pointed to the door, and said, "Master, please enter by yourself!"
Ouyang Shu didn't have any doubts, and walked straight in. Although he had a little bit of a problem with Liu Cong because of the informant, he also knew that with Liu Cong's martial arts, if he wanted to plot against himself, he would have the opportunity anytime and anywhere, and he didn't need to spend so much effort at all.
Sure enough, when I pushed the door in, I saw that General Xu was already waiting there.
It can be seen that Xu Jiang is in good spirits today, and a handsome old man has a smile on his face, as if he has just picked up a lot of money.
Ouyang Shu's face was not good: I have seen Xu Gong, oh, Xu Xianggong!
As if he didn't see the mockery in Ouyang Shu's words, Xu Jiang smiled and said: Don't call it like this, it's still early for this matter, who knows what it will become!
Ouyang Shu also smiled: It's not early, Xu Xianggong, your old man is scheming, where will the ghost and the ghost go. With just a little finger you need, you can wipe them out and never live, so why are you afraid of the threat from them?
Xu Jiang smiled and said: "The virtuous nephew is arrogant, not bad, not bad!" Immediately, his face changed, and it seemed that he had heard Ouyang Shu's voice: Virtuous nephew, why are you talking today, how can you be so yin and yang, this is really not like your usual speaking style!
Ouyang Shu smiled and said: Why did Xianggong say this, the lower official is just a heartfelt word, and every word is sincere!
Xu Jiang waved his hand and said: "Come on, how can my old man not see your thoughts?" I know that you are dissatisfied in your heart, there are many dissatisfactions, I came here today to give you an explanation, but you have dissatisfaction in your heart, you can take advantage of today to say it together, the old man is not ambiguous!
Ouyang Shu heard this, paused, and did not speak for a long time. He sat down quietly and took a closer look at the chamber. The room is brightly lit, and there are many ventilation openings on the roof, so you can see the light coming in from outside. Ouyang Shu suddenly had doubts, what if it rained and rainwater flowed through these small ventilated holes?
Of course, this is a technical issue, even if you don't know, it doesn't matter, even if you want to know, Ouyang Shu won't ask Xu Jiang. What he and Xu Jiang want to talk about is a more important issue.
Without waiting for Ouyang Shu to speak, General Xu was already the first to speak beside him: Isn't the virtuous nephew very interested in this secret room?
Ouyang Shu smiled slightly: What does Xiang Gong think? Such a secret room suddenly appeared in my room for some reason, shouldn't I be a little curious? Ouyang Shu, Lu Wuji, and Zhao Jing were waiting bitterly outside. The combination of these three people is a little strange, one male and one female, one male and one female, three people of three genders, but at least at this time they have the same mind, everyone is looking forward to Queen Meng calming down quickly and giving birth to a prince as soon as possible. Then, tomorrow will be able to cope with the past well.
If you give birth to a daughter, the problem is a little troublesome. Tonight was originally designed to deal with King Yan, so there was no preparation for Empress Meng's real production in advance. At this time, the palace gate was closed, and if Queen Meng gave birth to a daughter, there would be no way to steal the day. Moreover, there are so many people out there that it is basically impossible to keep it a secret. Therefore, now we can only wait like this, waiting for God's choice. If God lets Queen Meng give birth, it is also the love of this weak woman and Ouyang Shu, and if Queen Meng gives birth to a daughter, it is also unthinkable.
Inside the house, Queen Meng's heart-rending wails came, which made the three of them panic and hesitate.
I don't know how much time passed, but suddenly I heard the cry of a baby inside, not only these three people, but everyone waiting next to them was nervous, and they hurriedly turned around and looked at the door.
After a while, I heard a creak, and the door finally opened, and a stable woman in her forties poked her head out.
Zhao Jing was the most anxious, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked: How is it, is it a man or a woman?
The stable woman grinned and said: Congratulations, congratulations, the mother gave birth to a princess!
Everyone's hearts fell into the ice cellar at once, and what they were really afraid of was finally born.
Lu Wuji's heart was ruthless, and he thought: Now that the matter is now, even if so many people know the truth, it seems that something must be done. If someone else is allowed to ascend the throne, it is difficult to say the future of the Sprinkle family.
At that moment, he turned around and was about to threaten the people outside, when he suddenly heard the voice of another stable woman inside: Come on, there is another one!
The woman sighed in surprise, closed the door again, and walked in again.
And the people outside also rekindled their hope, and their eyes became eager again. Especially that Lu Wuji, a threatening word was about to be spoken, but he actually held back and hurriedly turned back.
After a while, another cry rang out, and everyone's hearts rose to their throats.
Soon, the stable woman opened the door again and came out, saying: Congratulations, this time the mother gave birth to another princess!
Ah, the hearts of the people fell into the valley again.
Oh, the old man is wrong, I'm sorry, it's a prince!" said the steady woman as she pumped her mouth with her wrinkled hand.
Hmm! The hearts of the people followed these few words from high to the bottom, and from the ground to the highest. After coming here a few times, everyone became sluggish, and Zhao Jing asked with some dissatisfaction: What the hell is going on, you should explain it to me clearly!
When the mother-in-law saw that the princess seemed to be angry, she was shocked, and hurriedly replied: Your Highness, what the princess gave birth to is a man and a girl, a pair of dragon and phoenix twins!
The crowd first exhaled softly, and then, without knowing who had started it, they heard a long hiss, and everyone cheered wildly.
Ouyang Shu became a father at the beginning, and what he got was a son and a daughter, and the joy and encouragement were comparable to others, and he also jumped up and cheered when he forgot about it.
Suddenly, a warm nephrite body suddenly threw himself into his arms, and he hurriedly copied it, and he faced Zhao Jing with a straight face.
This was the first time the two of them had embraced, and even Ouyang Shu himself could hardly have imagined that such a thing would be born in front of everyone's eyes. Perhaps extreme excitement can make people forget their shyness, Zhao Jing will take the initiative to hug Ouyang Shu unwillingly, which is also really a big drop in everyone's glasses. For a moment, everyone stopped cheering, and they all looked at them with curiosity and envy.
Whether it is a palace lady or an attendant, they have almost never experienced the love between men and women, and naturally have a heartfelt yearning for this kind of feeling. The pair of sweet lovers in front of them, talented and beautiful, look like such a match, plus the two have experienced so many ups and downs together, the love is sincere, and the sincerity of this relationship makes people more envious.
Even Lu Wuji lost his mind for a while, then turned his head again, looked at everyone, and said: "Don't you go and ring the bell quickly!" Also, a few of you immediately go and prepare to rely on it to attract the ministers into the palace!
Lu Wuji knew that by now, he was completely tied to Empress Meng's ship, and his fate and future should be said to be closely related to Empress Meng and the little prince who had just been born less than a quarter of an hour. And the two people that Queen Meng loves the most now are these two in front of her, and he is naturally happy to please. Ouyang Shu is a foreign minister, and the princess doesn't care about the government. They have no conflict of interest with themselves, and for these two people, they naturally want to try their best to win over and tie up, and make friends as the top priority.
Therefore, for fear that Ouyang Shu and Zhao Jing would be embarrassed, he took the lead in driving everyone away.
