Chapter 258: The Secret Passage
"Stop!" At this moment, two voices sounded almost simultaneously.
Lan Xin was so frightened that his hands immediately froze in the air, looking at the bed in surprise, the people on the bed were staring at him, staring at himself with burning eyes, Lan Xin's expression gradually became surprised.
"Your Majesty...... You ......"
With Lan Xin's surprise, the emperor sat up, except for the slightly sloppy appearance, the whole person looked energetic, which was completely different from what he saw during the day.
Mo Yan immediately pulled Lan Xin to him and looked at the emperor, who leaned against the bed: "You are still here." ”
"Isn't this what the royal brother wants to see?" Mo Yan was vigilant all around, and his eyes had already quietly observed the entire dormitory.
The emperor shook his head, looking at Mo Yan with a very different expression than before, no resentment, no Ling Ran's anger, like an ordinary brother, which made Mo Yan a little strange.
"Second brother, I probably don't need to say it, you can already see what has changed in this palace." The emperor said.
"I don't understand what the royal brother is talking about." Mo Yan never let down his vigilance.
"No, you know what I'm talking about, second brother, I'm very sober now, and I'm not telling you in the emperor's tone, it's just the two of us, let's talk about our hearts." The emperor sighed, and there was a feeling of loss, at this moment, he seemed to be really an ordinary person.
Mo Yan didn't answer, he didn't know why the emperor suddenly looked like this, if he wanted to use any skills, from his eyes, there was nothing unusual at all.
"Second brother, in fact, I already knew that this throne did not belong to me, and I also knew that one day I would be retributed, I was just unwilling, just unconvinced, where am I worse than you? Why is there only you in my father's eyes? Why have you been so good since you were a child? Why can you feel mother's love, why have I been scolded since I was a child, I have to be cowering, and I have to look at other people's faces in everything? Second brother, tell me, why is all this? The emperor's expression looked a little excited, more like a helpless teenager, telling him about his grievances for so many years.
"What the hell does the imperial brother want to say?" Mo Yan said coldly.
At this moment, as if all the battles had nothing to do with the emperor, he suddenly seemed very calm, and Lan Xin was watching from the sidelines, so he was anxious, did these two people come to solve the problem, or did they come to reminisce?
"Your Majesty, why are you pretending?" Lan Xin couldn't help but ask.
The emperor glanced at Lan Xin, and a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Second brother, you are really enviable, no matter when, there is always someone around you who is really good to you." ”
Neither of them answered again, and after a pause, the emperor continued: "This palace has changed, and the world has also changed, I used to think that I was the lord on the high, but now I have found that in their eyes, the entire southern kingdom can be turned into ashes in an instant with a wave of my hand, not to mention that I am a small person." ”
"The emperor is talking about the Seven Evil Palaces?" Blue Heart blurted out.
When the emperor heard these three words, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and then he returned to calm: "It seems that you all know, you can go, they are not something you can afford to provoke." ”
"If you don't try, how do you know that the emperor can't be provoked?" When Lan Xin heard this, he looked a little angry, regardless of Mo Yan's opposition, he stood in front of the emperor, and looked at the emperor with questioning eyes, there is a posture that if you don't give me an explanation, I will stare at you to death.
"Huh." A sneer appeared on the emperor's face.
"Second brother, it seems that your red face is good for you," the emperor said, stretched out his finger and pointed to his head, and then continued: "It's just that there doesn't seem to be much light here." ”
"She's right, the royal brother didn't try, how do you know that it won't work?" Mo Yan directly and blatantly defended Lan Xin this time, which surprised Lan Xin, in the past, every time Mo Yan did something, he would think about the chain reaction that this matter would cause, and he would definitely not be as reckless as now.
"Hahahaha." The emperor looked at Mo Yan's slightly nervous expression, and actually laughed heartily.
At this moment, the emperor lifted the quilt himself, got out of bed, and then at the head of the bed, somehow tinkered, the bed board was pushed aside like a sliding door, revealing the steps down one by one, and then the emperor came to the front of the steps and said to the two: "Come with me." ”
Lan Xin saw this secret passage that suddenly appeared, and subconsciously thought of the secret passage that Dongfang Mu took him to at the beginning, and his heart suddenly tightened, and he looked at Mo Yan for advice, Mo Yan didn't think about it, directly took Lan Xin's hand, and followed the emperor down the secret passage.
As soon as the two entered, the door on the top of the secret passage was closed, and the instant darkness in front of him made Lan Xin involuntarily lean his body against Mo Yan's body, and after a while, the entire secret passage lit up, and on the wall, there was a night pearl every one or two meters, glowing as soft as moonlight, illuminating the dark secret passage clearly.
Along the way, Lan Xin was vigilantly looking around, and it didn't take long for the secret passage to come to an end, the emperor pressed it on the wall, and the wall immediately opened a door, and after entering, Mo Yan suddenly realized, it turned out that the emperor's bedroom and study were connected by this secret passage, and the place they came to now, the emperor once brought Mo Yan to come, which was the secret room hidden in the emperor's study, and there was a person in this secret room who was very important to them - Concubine Xian.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Concubine Xian only raised her head slightly, and when the afterglow swept from Mo Yan's body, a glimmer of light suddenly burst out, and then dimmed.
"Concubine Xian, the second brother has seen it." As if he was introducing, and as if he was talking to himself, the emperor walked to the fence, took out a key from his body, and opened the door.
"Concubine Xian, from now on, you are free." The emperor threw all the keys and chains in his hand to the ground.
Concubine Xian's figure shook slightly, but she quickly returned to her original appearance: "What tricks are you going to play again?" ”
"I know that no one in this room will believe me, but I still have to say, from now on, you are all free, you should get out of here quickly, I swear, I will never send anyone to follow you." The emperor's expression looked so sincere, it was Mo Yan, and there was no trace of scheming in his eyes.
"Huh, you're so kind?" Concubine Xian obviously didn't believe the emperor, and still sat on the ground without moving, and didn't even look at the emperor anymore.
At this moment, there was a sudden sharp sound in the secret room, and when the emperor heard this voice, his face changed suddenly, and a touch of nervousness appeared on his face, and then he took out a token and handed it to Mo Yan: "Second brother, you want to take Concubine Xian out of here as soon as possible, and other things will have a chance to talk about it later." ”
After the emperor finished speaking, he quickly turned around and walked in the direction he came, in a hurry, Mo Yan glanced at the token in his hand, and then looked at the emperor's back, thought for a moment, and then handed the token to Lan Xin: "Xin'er, you take Concubine Xian out of the palace, go back to the other courtyard first, and I will go back later, you should be more careful." ”
"Lord Wang, be careful yourself." Before Lan Xin finished speaking, Mo Yan had already disappeared.
Concubine Xian's face finally showed a stunned expression, looking at the open cell door, she couldn't believe it, how many years had been closed here, Concubine Xian herself couldn't remember clearly, slowly stood up, and walked to the door step by step, but when she walked to the door of the old party, she didn't have the courage to step out, and actually stopped at the door.
Lan Xin was very anxious: "Concubine Xian Niangniang, let's go quickly!" Lan Xin didn't know what was going on with the sound coming from the secret room just now, but she couldn't calm down her heart and tell herself that something bad must have happened.
"You ......" Concubine Xian still couldn't believe what she was looking for.
As soon as she said a word, Lan Xin couldn't wait to walk directly to the door of the cell, grabbed his arm, pulled her and walked outside, Concubine Xian's face was surprised from beginning to end.
After Emperor Moyan left the secret room, he quickly returned to the dormitory, and at this moment, the door of the dormitory was suddenly pushed open, and a familiar face walked in, it was the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother walked directly to the bed, with a hint of nervousness on her face, and saw that the emperor was sleeping peacefully, and the nervous look disappeared.
Looking back, the eunuch who was guarding in the house didn't know when he fell asleep, and he didn't even notice the eunuch who came in, the queen mother suddenly became a little angry, walked over and wanted to scold immediately, looked back at the emperor, and had to hold back the words behind and kicked on the eunuch's body.
The eunuch also slept for so long, and was awakened by this kick at once, opened his eyes in a daze, and when he saw that it was the Queen Mother, he was immediately frightened, and hurriedly said: "The slave sees the Queen Mother." ”
"Damn minions! Did you come over and sleep? The Queen Mother said angrily.
"Damn it! Damn the minions! Please forgive the Queen Mother! The eunuch was so frightened that he couldn't stop kowtowing.
At this time, the queen mother suddenly noticed that in the incense burner, the incense had already burned out, and the anger in her heart was even worse, and she didn't care if the emperor slept or not, so she said loudly: "I can't do a little thing to give you, don't you know that the Qingshen incense is burned out?" Come! Drag this eunuch out and cut it down for me! ”
Two people came in immediately, one left and one right pulled the eunuch out, the eunuch was already frightened and had no master, and desperately struggled and shouted: "The Queen Mother spares her life!" The queen mother spared her life, and the slave didn't dare anymore! The Queen Mother spares her life! ”
The Queen Mother's eyes were shining coldly, if it weren't for her identity, she would definitely strangle this eunuch with her own hands.
"The Queen Mother?" At this time, the emperor suddenly sat up and shouted.
