The inner room on the west side of Xiao Ye's study is a lattice mahogany shelf connected on three sides, on which are all kinds of antiques, which are secret door organs, and should not be directly on the shelves that others usually visit, and Xiao Ye is already tall, so Mu Yunyi directly raised her hand and stretched out to the lattice shelf that was one end taller than her, and slowly stroked the ornaments on it with her fingertips. When she touched a Pixiu, she stopped, stood on tiptoe, and saw that it was a bronze statue with a high head and a cloud Pixiu, the size of a palm, with beads in its mouth.

She exerted a little force, but no matter how much she moved or rotated, Pixiu didn't move, as if it was glued to the shelf.

"It seems that the bead in the mouth is the key to it." Mu Yunyi thought secretly, put her index finger into Pixiu's mouth, and pushed the bead the size of a fingernail, and then she keenly felt the sound of a mechanism being triggered.

"Click......"

The shelf facing her slowly unfolded from the middle to the sides, revealing a square entrance. Mu Yunyi blew the fire fold that Fang had just picked up in the study and walked towards the secret passage.

She held her breath and walked quietly, but there was not the slightest movement inside, and she felt more and more strange, so while remaining vigilant, she quickened her pace, and gradually, there was a faint light inside, and there was.

Mu Yunyi pinched the moon and turned a small corner, and the iron gate appeared in front of her, but the so-called "secret prison" was empty now.

Mu Yunyi approached the iron door, the lock on it was open at all, she pulled open the heavy iron bar door and walked in, the chains on the ground should have been used to imprison Xiao Ye, looking at the ground next to him and the surrounding walls, there was no trace of dispute or fighting, it seemed that Xiao Ye was rescued.

The candles on the candlestick on the side have not yet burned out, and it seems that Xiao Ye's front foot was rescued, and Mu Yunyi came over.

In this case, no matter what the other party's purpose is, at least for the time being, Xiao Ye has no worries about his life, as for who is the person who saved him, Mu Yunyi has no time to think about it at this time, although there should be a period of time before Shi Quan comes back, but if his subordinates find out about the movement in the dark room, it will be troublesome, anyway, Xiao Ye has no whereabouts, so he can only go first.

Fortunately, until Mu Yunyi left the Xiao family's old mansion, he was not discovered by Shi Quan's subordinates, and after Mu Yunyi observed left and right without any changes, he quietly returned to the official post.

Meng Li saw Mu Yunyi pushing the door in, overjoyed, and subconsciously blurted out: "Xiao Yi......" After realizing something, he immediately changed his words: "Xiao'er, you are back." ”

"Yes, Shizi."

Meng Li deliberately raised his voice: "Can you buy your things?" ”

"If you go back to Shizi, the stuffed cherries and plums fried in the Liang Ji candied fruit shop will be sold out early today, if the Shizi still wants to eat it, Ming'er will go out early to buy it for the Shizi."

"I know that you are the most intimate, but this kind of thing is to ask them to buy it tomorrow, and I am very distressed to let you run today."

"The son of the world is really tormented by the slave maid, and it is a blessing for the slave and maid to be able to do some small things for the son."

The two of you said a word and I said a conversation that was deliberately heard by outsiders, which further confirmed that this man's weight around the prince was extraordinary.

"How's it going, did you get it?" Meng Li approached Mu Yunyi, lowered his voice and began to ask about business.

Mu Yunyi didn't speak, only shook his head.

"Why, have you been discovered? Still is...... Is that a trap at all? Saying that, Meng Li became even more nervous, and pulled Mu Yunyi to look left and right, for fear that she would be injured somewhere.

"Neither." Mu Yunyi frowned slightly, "Xiao Ye has been rescued by others, not long before I went. ”

"What? Xiao Ye was rescued? Meng Li didn't expect at all, "In addition to you, there are people who have learned Xiao Ye's whereabouts and know that the Xiao family is in prison!" ”

"And saved Xiao Ye before me." Mu Yunyi said calmly.

"The people of the Xiao family's old mansion ......"

"Except for the guards who were killed, the rest of the people in the house did not react."

"In this way, the other party is absolutely unusual, he can sneak into the Xiao Mansion and take people out without knowing it......" Speaking of this, Meng Li also realized something: "The other party is also alone? ”

"Yes, judging from the traces in the secret room, there should have been only one person who had infiltrated before me." Mu Yunyi said as she continued to analyze all the possibilities in her mind.

"What other clues are there in the secret room?"

"That person didn't leave anything, there was no trace of a fight in it, Xiao Ye was different from others, since he chose to leave with that person, either it was an acquaintance who saved him, or he ......"

"Either that, or he has a plan in mind." Meng Li continued with Mu Yunyi's words, "Since Xiao Ye is safe for the time being, Xiao Yiyi, you can put this matter aside for the time being, the top priority at the moment is to prepare for the Mid-Autumn Festival Night Banquet." ”

"Well, Empress Dowager Xi will take the first medicine tonight." As she spoke, a smile appeared on the corner of Mu Yunyi's mouth: "I hope she has a good dream." ”

……

Time flies, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival in a blink of an eye, and the sky has not turned white in the early morning, Mu Yunyi has already sat in front of the bronze mirror in the inner room of a leisure hall, and Su Wu has changed her appearance.

"Yun Yi, according to what you said, the old witch is in a trance right now, and her body is also empty, so will she not appear at all at today's Mid-Autumn Festival Palace banquet?" Su Wu stopped what she was doing and said the worries in her heart.

"She's going to show up today." Mu Yunyi's tone was firm.

"How are you so sure?"

"The Mid-Autumn Festival is in addition to the Spring Festival, the most important festival in the palace, every year's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is solemn and important, in addition to inviting the ministers and nobles, the king of the feudal land with a different surname and the respected Buddha cultivator will also be invited into the palace, this is the face of the West Dome, but also the face of the royal family." Mu Yunyi's eyes showed contempt, "With Empress Dowager Xi's desire for power and status, she may be able to give up an ordinary palace banquet, but today's Mid-Autumn Festival palace banquet, even if she pours a few bowls of hundred-year-old ginseng soup Ganoderma lucidum, she will definitely stand up and declare to everyone that she is still the supreme queen mother of the West Dome." ”

Su Wu knew that Mu Yunyi was betting on Empress Dowager Xi's greed and desire, but she firmly believed that the final winner of this gamble would definitely be Mu Yunyi.

Subsequently, Su Wan's heart gradually calmed down, and she continued to focus on "changing her face" for Mu Yunyi.

There is a portrait of the same height hanging on the shelf next to the mirror, Su Wu has carefully observed this portrait every day for the past seven days, supplemented by some other daily portraits and clothing, no details are missed, and now the appearance of this woman has been deeply engraved in Su Wu's heart, as if she has known this woman for a long time.

However, the woman in the portrait did not say that Su Wu had died, and even Mu Yunyi had never seen herself.

Because this woman is Mu Yunyi's dead mother, Prince Xianshun and Princess Qinglan.
