Shen Shu thought about it, followed Chu Yi around the corner, and saw from a distance that there was a dark secret passage entrance in the half-blown rockery.

At this moment, there are flying fish guards and officials, walking towards the secret passage.

And not far from the entrance of the secret passage, Xiao Jingcheng, the prince of Cheng'en, who had just run over, looked at the tunnel, his face was like ashes.

Chu Yi found a hidden corner and stopped.

After Chu Zhan left the courtyard just now, he disappeared, and there were only two people now, Shen Shu and Chu Yi.

Shen Shu saw that Chu Yi didn't mean to step forward, so she asked the question in her heart: "Your Highness, what does this tunnel have to do with the tunnel in the study of the prince of Cheng'en?" Why didn't the prince of Cheng'en come here instead of going to the study? ”

Chu Yi was silent for a few breaths, and explained in a low voice: "These days, I have sent a shadow guard to keep an eye on the Cheng'en Mansion, Cheng'en Duke Xiao Dezong is very old, and most of the affairs in the mansion are handled by Xiao Jingcheng. However, Xiao Jingcheng almost stayed at home, not only knew the affairs of the DPRK and China, but also controlled the Xiao family's power in the government and the opposition, which made me feel very strange. ”

Speaking of this, he paused: "Do you remember that Xiao Qingxue once said that she heard Xiao Baiyuan's voice in the rockery of Muhua Garden, but I sent someone to investigate, but I didn't find any clues that Xiao Baiyuan returned to Beijing and returned to his home?" ”

Shen Shu nodded.

Suddenly, she seemed to think of something, and looked at the rockery that had been blown up in the distance—

The rockery is a landscape formed by several rockeries, and from the part that was blown up, the internal structure of the rockery is very tortuous.

The tunnel is located at the end of a rockery......

Shen Shu suddenly realized.

"Could it be that Xiao Qingxue overheard Xiao Baiyuan talking that day, because the rockery she was in that day happened to be near the rockery at the exit of the tunnel?"

Chu Yi nodded approvingly: "Exactly." Muhuayuan is located between the two mansions, if Xiao Baiyuan wants to plot something, it is impossible to go to Muhuayuan to say, there is only one explanation, that is, there must be a secret passage to the outside in the rockery, which can make Xiao Baiyuan easy to enter and exit, and there is no trace. ”

"What about the secret passage in Xiao Jingcheng's study? What does it have to do with this? Shen Shu asked again in confusion.

"These two are a secret passage." Chu Yi replied: "Two years ago, Xiao Jingcheng presided over the renovation of Muhua Garden, and the exit of Muhua Garden should have been opened last year to facilitate Xiao Baiyuan to enter and leave the mansion. ”

When Shen Shu heard this, his expression was solemn.

A secret passage for both father and son.

Now Xiao Baiyuan's whereabouts are unknown, and the secret passage was deliberately sealed by Xiao Jingcheng......

Make matters worse by attempting a coverup.

This means that at the end of the secret passage, there may be a shocking secret that the Chengen Mansion wants to protect.

Shen Shu unconsciously held her breath: "This secret passage ...... Where does it lead? ”

Faintly, an answer had risen in her heart.

This answer is nothing to Shen Shu.

But for His Royal Highness the King in front of him, that's all......

"I don't know." Chu Yi stared ahead with his hand and pursed his lips: "Later...... It's clear. ”

At this moment, Chu Yi's mood was extremely complicated.

Although his shadow guard had not entered the secret passage to investigate, from the actions and looks of Xiao Jingcheng, he could vaguely guess that the end of the secret passage might be related to the behind-the-scenes instructions.

Every time Chu Yi thought of the news he got from Zhou Jinxi's mouth yesterday, his heart was always shrouded in a lingering haze.

Hearing this, Shen Shu looked at Chu Yi's side face.

Although his expression was as cold and resolute as ever.

But for some reason, there is a little more loneliness.

Shen Shu thought that the person who manipulated all this behind the scenes was his brother-in-law.

If King Yi had discovered the truth by exploring the secret passage today.

First the Queen Mother, then the Crown Prince.

Relatives wave knives at each other, relatives are not relatives, and brothers are no longer brothers.

For King Yi, who has always been the most affectionate, it must be like digging into the heart.

Thinking of this, Shen Shu's heart tightened for no reason.

She reached out and took the hand he was holding behind her.

Feeling the sudden warmth from the palm of his hand, Chu Yi's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

He looked back in surprise—

Then he saw that in the sun, the little girl raised her little red face, and a pair of black and white apricot eyes stared at him like a lake.

Brave, determined, pure, with warm strength.

Like a little sun, it dispelled the gloom in his heart.

Chu Yi moved her lips, wanting to ask her why she was suddenly like this.

However, Shen Shu took a step away and looked into the distance.

Her heart was in turmoil.

Although, she still can't tell what kind of feelings she has for this person.

But at this moment, she wanted to tell him that no matter what happened, she would be by his side.

However, it is difficult to say such words.

Shen Shu's ears were already red, but her hand was still holding his.

Although he did not speak, he was silent as if he were sound.

Chu Yi swallowed the question on his lips, held her hand with his backhand, and looked into the distance.

The corners of his lips straightened, and unconsciously raised slightly, looking from a distance, with a rare smile.

This scene fell in the eyes of Xiao Qingchu, who came in a hurry.

Xiao Qingchu stood behind the shadow of the tree, his nails digging into the flesh without noticing.

She lowered her eyes, covered the monstrous hatred in her eyes, turned around, and said to the servant girl with her: "If there is an accident in the house, I can't stay here, prepare a horse, send me out through the side door, I want to enter the palace." ”

*

About half an hour later—

Xiao Dezong, the Duke of Cheng'en, and even Xiao Jingzheng, the prince of the Marquis of Cheng'en next door, as well as the children and servants of the Marquis of Chengen's Mansion, all rushed over when they heard the news.

Xiao Dezong was dumbfounded, anxious like an ant on a hot pot, he couldn't stop it, and he didn't stop it.

Zhou Zhi also brought people over from the study and guarded the secret passage.

Everyone watched the entrance of the secret passage closely, waiting for the Flying Fish Guards and the officials to come out without news for a long time.

Only Xiao Jingcheng was supported by someone, covering his face with his hands, crooked on one side of the boulder, looking like he couldn't withstand the blow, his physical strength was exhausted, and he looked weak.

Shen Shu had already followed behind Chu Yi and also came to the secret passage.

From the moment she stood at the entrance of the secret passage, she keenly felt a cool breeze blowing out of the secret passage, faintly mixed with the smell of gunpowder and a strange smell that was not easy to detect.

When the wind comes out, it means that the other end of the secret passage is open.

But that smell...... made Shen Shu feel a little vigilant in his heart.

After a while, footsteps finally sounded from the secret passage.

Ying Yi, who pretended to be Feiyuwei, ran out of the secret passage, and when he saw Chu Yi, he knelt down on one knee and reported: "Your Highness, there are three forks in the secret passage, one leads to the Yongtong Canal, one leads to the Dongmin residence, and one has been sealed, and you have to dig it to know where it leads, but, looking at the direction, the exit seems to be in the northeast direction." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone who was familiar with all parts of the capital changed their faces.

The Seongen Mansion was already close to Miyagi.

It is not surprising that the secret passage leads to Yongtong Canal and Dongshi.

But in the northeast of it, because of its proximity to Yuxing Lake, there is only one mansion, the East Palace Annex-Sihua Garden

Huguo Temple assassinated King Yi, Secret Dao, and Sihuayuan of the East Palace......

These key pieces of information instantly became a line in everyone's minds.

A line that makes them, absolutely unbelievable!

Before everyone could recover from their surprise and anxiety, they heard Kageichi say again: "We also found a secret room in the secret passage, and in the secret room there is an ice coffin for the corpse. After identification, the corpse in the ice coffin was Xiao Baiyuan, the second son of the Chengen Mansion. ”
