Chapter 33: The Prince's Heart
The large barrel cracked a gap in the middle, and then slowly grew larger, like two doors opening one on the left and one on the right, revealing a black hole inside, and a step leading to the bottom.
Xiao Yimeng was a little scared and a little curious. What's the secret down there? Whether it's a treasure or a trap, ambivalence entangles her little heart.
After a two-minute pause, he finally walked down with the lantern in his hand. Whoever called her has a fierce character that loves to die.
The steps were not too long, and after a short walk up the slope to the ground, I saw a narrow passage with oil lamps lit on both sides. Walking down the passage, there is a wooden door.
Just as she stopped in front of the door and hesitated to open it, she suddenly heard someone inside speak: "Since you have arrived, come in." ”
It was Qi Mochen's voice. Now that he was discovered, Xiao Yimeng simply pushed the door and entered.
This is a dark room, the place is not big, about 30 square meters of space. There are two bookshelves with several volumes of wooden tablets, and another shelf with unknown artifacts.
"You're finally here." Qi Mochen said lightly.
"Sixth Prince, you're not drunk?" Xiao Yimeng was very curious about Qi Mochen at this time, sitting on the futon in the house, without the bohemianism, laughter and slapstick of his usual life, and he looked like he was sitting upright. If you look closely, you really have a bit of the majesty of a royal child.
"Of course I'm not drunk, let alone one altar, even ten altars and a hundred altars, I am not drunk."
Bragging rights! Xiao Yimeng didn't believe it in his heart, but he didn't bother to argue with him, and continued to ask, "Then what are you doing here?" Did you know I was coming? ”
"Yes, I did expect you to come, but what I didn't expect was tonight. I deliberately said that the cellar is forbidden and you can't come, just to arouse your curiosity and let you come uninvited. ”
"Wouldn't it? What do you want? Xiao Yimeng couldn't help but fold his arms and looked at him with strange eyes.
Qi Mochen smiled bitterly, "Don't think about it, I'm not interested in your pig's head." The reason why there is a secret room here is actually that I need a secret place to cultivate. Our royal bloodline can't practice martial arts, but we have the natural ability to be sensitive to occult arts, so we have cultivated the spells of the metaphysical realm for generations. It's just that my identity is special, although I am a prince, I am in an awkward situation, my biological mother died early, my adoptive mother entered the cold palace, and I have an empty title but people are suspicious everywhere. So much so that he was trapped in this Genyue Mansion, and he survived by pretending to be crazy and stupid every day. ”
"You, why are you telling me this?" Knowing the secret, Xiao Yimeng was uneasy.
"Because you are my only chance, a chance to escape from Genyue Mansion and escape from the imperial capital." Qi Mochen's melancholy eyes suddenly burst into light.
"You want to run away? But I can't even escape myself, how can I help you? ”
"I said you can, you can. Because you are Mu Chengzhi's princess, although you are temporarily imprisoned in Genyue Mansion, you will go out sooner or later, and you will inevitably go to the vassal kingdom with the prince, and I can hide in your convoy and leave together at that time. ”
Xiao Yimeng suddenly realized, "Oh! ~ You first pretended to be crazy and stupid, and then you deceived the world and the sea, you are really worthy of being scheming and unpredictable! ”
"You also fell into the middle of the link - fishing in troubled waters, only by using this set of serial schemes can I get rid of the golden cicada shell and escape, so as to avoid being brutalized by traitors." After Qi Mochen finished speaking, he sighed again: "I only hope that the next life will not give birth to the emperor's family." ”
After seeing the palace drama and reading the official history, he naturally knows that it is the most ruthless emperor's family, and Xiao Yimeng also felt the sadness of the six princes in a moment.
"Well, if I can get out, I'll help you escape from this cage. It's just that I don't know what to do right now? Now that my father has died and the family is in the middle of the road, will the son of Wujing recognize this family business and welcome me through the door? ”
