Chapter 283: The County Lord, Her Whole Family Is Playing (102)
"Lord Meng Shangshu is worried, the people in the Tai Hospital have already seen it for my father, but the effect is very small, but I believe that my father will be able to survive this."
This person is Cao Hong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and he was the protΓ©gΓ© of Mrs. Yang when he was young.
With him today is his youngest son, Cao Guang.
In addition, he also has an eldest son, but the eldest son was on a business trip the year before last and drowned.
"Why didn't the second prince go in?"
The second prince smiled, lifted his robe and stepped into the room, "Why doesn't the eldest prince enter?" β
The eldest prince was not as pretentious as him, so he raised his feet and went in.
"The eldest prince, the second prince."
Qing also gave it away.
"I heard that the general was seriously ill, and I was grateful that the general had done me a small favor, so I came to visit the general."
The eldest prince said sincerely.
The second prince of the Lihua Kingdom raised his eyebrows, what he was more concerned about was, what did Qingyuan Song help him with?
"Thank you for the great prince, it's just to say hello to Dali Temple and let you visit the three princes of your country, it's not enough to worry."
"But it's inconvenient for my father to see guests now, and we understand everyone's intentions."
"Then don't bother."
"Nephew, we're also leaving."
Cao Hong took Cao Guang to follow behind the eldest prince, and when he passed by the second prince, he glanced at it.
The second prince stepped sideways, "Second prince, then I will also leave." β
"The second prince walks slowly."
ββ
Outside the gate of the General's Mansion, the carriage of the Ministry of Rites has not yet left.
Until, I saw the second prince who stepped out of the general's mansion.
"Daddy." Cao Guang shouted.
"Let's go."
Cao Hong gave an order, the coachman drove the carriage, and the bell above the horse's head jingled and disappeared into an alley.
Then, another carriage passed through the alley.
Somewhere in the courtyard.
The doors and windows were closed, and the room was pitch black, with only a little sunlight shining through the holes in the windows.
The figures inside flickered on and off, and their faces could not be seen clearly.
"Qingyuan Song is really terminally ill?" The man's voice sounded young.
"The smell of medicine in the house is strong, the crown princess has been here, went inside to see Qing Yuansong, and when he came out, his eyes were red, according to this, his illness should be real."
The man chuckled, "That's good, there's finally something you've done." β
"Your Highness, what should we do after that?"
In the silence of the room, there was the sound of tuk-tuk tapping on the tabletop.
The three of them were plotting inside the house, and suddenly, there was the sound of rustling footsteps outside.
The hearts of the three of them sank.
Cao Guang stood at the door, looking through the small hole in the window, "Dad, someone is coming!" β
Cao Hong immediately came to the side of the bed, twisted the mechanism, and the bed board slowly opened, "Your Highness, go from here." β
The courtyard here had been dilapidated for several years, and when he found it two years ago, he built a secret passage under his bed.
The three of them hurriedly jumped down, and the moment the bed board closed, someone broke down the door.
"Second son, no one."
Qing Yixu walked around the room, rummaging east and west, and soon found the mechanism.
"Go down and search."
After secretly investigating for so long, the fox finally couldn't help it.
The group walked through the secret passages, which were dark and rumbling, and the ground was uneven.
Qing Yixu cautiously touched the wall and walked a few steps, and the guards behind him took torches and came down.
Only then did everyone see the structure of the secret passage.
Qing Yixu touched the wall and twisted his fingers, which were covered with a layer of dust.
I haven't used the secret passage for a long time.
They walked inside for an unknown amount of time, turning around and having lost their way, but they had not yet found the exit.
Suddenly, the earth shook like a mountain, and the entire secret passage began to shake, and a huge smell of gunpowder came from ahead.
Qing Yixu's intuition was wrong, and he quickly commanded: "Retreat!" β
