Although he decided to settle the matter of the dragon egg the next day, when Lan Li woke up, he had no desire to get up at all.

The short body was sunk deep in the soft feather bed, and the blue eyes looked at the sea-blue curtain slowly floating above without the slightest focus, and the whole body felt as if he was wearing nothing, and he touched it with his hand, and it was really like this.

Lan Li couldn't remember how he got into bed, and the last impression in his memory was that he was taking a bath, then fell asleep, and then ......

With that fireplace, you slept so hard?

secretly blamed himself for his carelessness, and then Lan Li felt a little headache.

Not a headache for a headache, but a real headache. At the same time, he also felt that his throat was dry, his nose was a little blocked, and he didn't seem to have much strength up and down.

Catch cold? Got a cold?

The boy lying on the bed couldn't help frowning, then raised his arm to look at his little hand, gestured, and sighed.

"Dignified traverser, if you die of fever, it will be a joke."

With that in mind, he looked around him, then struggled to reach out his arm and touch the gilded bell on the bedside table.

A crisp voice sounded, and after a while, a black-haired maid hurried in, and after noticing the boy's condition, she hurried out the door to find a bachelor for treatment.

In this era, even ordinary colds can kill people, especially for fragile children.

Medical care was limited, and it was difficult for even the king's sons and daughters to survive to adulthood, let alone ordinary commoners or even farmers.

Fortunately, Lan Li's luck when he was reincarnated was not bad, and someone could come to treat him in time when he was sick. So after a while, a bald, snow-white bearded and neat old man named Paisel walked in with a medicine box, and then, under Lan Li's stunned gaze, he used silver tongs to pull out a black leech that was constantly writhing.

"What do you want to do?"

"Phlebotomy is not a common method, but it is effective. But you're too young, kid, to be treated with a formal bloodletting, so I'm going to need leeches, don't worry, it's actually not that scary. ”

"I'm just suffering from the cold, why bled out?" Lan Li asked in astonishment, it was not that he had never had a cold when he was in Storm's Rest Castle, but at that time, Master Clison mostly prescribed medicine to him, although he felt that it was useless, but he did not have such an exaggerated situation now.

"Of course it's necessary, well, we all know that illness is a bodily fluid in the human body — I mean, kid, don't worry, it won't be long before you're cured."

"I don't need that." Lan Li looked at each other like fools.

How can there be a cold and fever treated with bloodletting, this thing is very unreliable at first glance. And I remember correctly, the founding president of a superpower in his previous life was bled to death.

"Good boy, it's just going to be a little uncomfortable, it won't hurt too much, come-" The old man ignored the black-haired boy's refusal, and raised Lan Li's arm to himself, and then prepared to put the leech down.

Seeing this, the boy hurriedly retracted his arm, and then faced the old man with a snow-white beard, squinted his eyes and threatened: "If you dare to put it on my arm, I will go to Robert and say that you are molesting my maid." ”

These words made the old man shudder, and his moist old eyes glared at the boy in front of him in shock.

"Son, how can you say that about an old man? This is not a polite thing to do. As a great scholar who has served three kings, I think it's necessary for me—"

"Whatever you say, if you dare to let it go anyway, I will dare to sue." Lan Li replied dryly.

The school town of Old Town has cultivated a class of scholars throughout the continent of Westeros, who assist the nobles in governing their territories, and the scholars who assist the king are called scholars, and this is the only one in the whole country.

The scholars were responsible for the health of the king and his family, as well as the management of letters from ravens in various places, and were also able to attend the imperial councils that made decisions on state affairs, and were considered important ministers of the kingdom.

This is a profession that only a highly respected person can do, but if I remember correctly, the university scholar in front of me, who looks like he is sixty or seventy years old, seems to be a prostitute, and he is not a good person, so there is no psychological pressure on him to say this.

The child's temper seemed to be very vexatious, so the old bachelor could only retreat, and after prescribing a few potions, he ordered the servant to bring a brazier and bake it nearby, and told a few precautions, and ended the treatment in a hurry.

……

After such a fuss, Lan Li didn't even have much confidence in the medicine prescribed by the other party, so when the scholar left, he directly poured the medicine into the urinal, and then prepared to shrink into the quilt to cover his sweat.

He didn't have much strength in his body, and he ate lunch in bed, and a servant brought a small table at the head of the bed, and three neatly dressed maids brought a plate of fragrant food and dishes.

There are crispy white breads, fruit and vegetable salads, fried sweet tortillas, crab pies, roast lamb with leeks, and fried bacon with white beans......

With so much food, Lan Li, who had been drinking fishy fish soup for a long time, was a little dizzying, but in fact, he didn't have much appetite to speak of.

After being fed two strawberries by a brown-haired maid, he was a little overwhelmed, but he thought that he would have to eat more when he was sick, so he reluctantly ate a small piece of fluffy bread and half a tortilla, and finally waved them to stand down, and then fell into a deep sleep in the feather bed.

After three days in a row, the sudden illness eased.

During this time, his cheap big brother Robert came to visit him, but he left in a hurry not long after, and it was clear that he was busy with many things. The second brother, Stannis, never showed up.

It is said that Stannis spent most of his time in King's Landing, preparing his fleet to attack Dragonstone in the eastern seas of King's Landing, where the last remnants of the Targaryen dynasty reside.

Yes, despite the occupation of the capital, the Targaryens were not completely wiped out at this time, and the queens of the previous kings and their royal fleets had already rushed back to Dragonstone, the stronghold of the Targaryens, before King's Landing fell.

None of this had much to do with Lan Li, and when his condition improved, he focused his attention on the closed fireplace in the room.

The dragon egg matter is not in a hurry, the thing is there, and it is impossible to run away.

Not long after he broke away from the dungeon, he planned to rest for a while, so he didn't think about how to leave the Red Keep and get his hands on the source of the other smell he had smelled earlier.

Although the newly acquired profession is considered to "level up", it is obviously a long-term thing, and there is no need to start immediately.

So after his first breakfast, he slipped into the narrow fireplace and groped his way carefully.

……

His diminutive body was able to move smoothly in the open fireplace, but at first he didn't gain much, until he groped back and forth several times, relying on his keen hearing, that he noticed a sign of it.

So he raised his hand and pressed a stone brick diagonally above the fireplace, and the wall on the side of the fireplace creaked and flipped over, revealing a dark and deep hole.

There was a cold aura wafting out of the cave entrance, and Lan Li ran out and lit a candle, and then drilled into the cave entrance. But after a while, he came back, his face full of gloom.

"Cultivating the secret path is cultivating the secret way, what kind of labyrinth do you cultivate."

Muttering, he blew out the candle in his hand and fumbled with the switch again, so the entrance to the secret passage was flipped and closed again.

Then Lan Li squatted in front of the fireplace and fell into thought.

Although a close search was being launched in the Red Keep because of his remarks two days ago, it seems that no one has yet discovered the true entrance to this kind of secret passage, judging from the words of the servants.

At first, he claimed that there was a secret passage just to get rid of his brother Robert's accusations and find a reasonable explanation for his whereabouts, but the more he came into contact with it, the more he paid attention to it, and now it has even risen to the point where it must be solved-

Before, Lan Li actually had the mind to wonder if he could use this secret passage, not to mention anything else, if this secret passage could lead to the outside of the Red Castle, then it would be much more convenient for him who was "grounded".

However, now Lan Li thinks that this secret passage must not be left behind.

For now, the most important thing for him is to grow smoothly, and everything else, whether it is the title that may be given in the future, or how long the Baratheon dynasty will be able to hold out, or even the question of exploring the mysterious Goldfinger is secondary.

This secret passage in front of him is already a serious threat, because it extends in all directions, and it seems to be connected to all the rooms in the Mege Building, even if Lan Li moves out of this room, it can't be avoided, and the Mege Building is already the safest place in the Red Fort, to this extent, what about the other buildings outside?

Lan Li didn't think he would be able to leave the Red Keep or even King's Landing anytime soon, which meant that he might be living here for a long time.

He could have considered killing the one who knew about the secret passage and then completely usurping the secret, but he didn't dare to guarantee that the secret passage was really only known to Navaris.

So the most effective and fastest way to solve the hidden danger at the moment is to expose this new discovery to the public and be known to everyone.

It's just that how to expose it also needs to be considered.

This situation is different from when he was in Storm's Rest, he didn't have any worries at that time, because everyone knew each other, but the power of King's Landing and even the Red Keep was intertwined, and the relationship with the Baratheon family was hardly a friend, he was still young, and a simple cold made him a little unbearable, but he didn't want to be noticed again, especially about the secret passage, he had already mentioned it once.

Lan Li was a little hesitant because of this, but when he found out that a pair of twin neighbors had suddenly moved in to the Mei Ge Building, he suddenly had an idea.
