There is a special secret passage outside the Prince's Mansion, and there is no need to go out from the ground. Therefore, the worries of the only one who are distracted are all superfluous.

The reason why Lu Hui stopped Shan Shulin was also because of this.

When she pulled Shan Shu Lin into the secret passage, the latter reacted and said with emotion: "It's that I'm confused." ”

He only remembered that there was deep snow outside, but he forgot that Lu Hui didn't need to walk from the road.

Jiang Guo has snow all year round, and the emperor has long taken this into account, and has established a tunnel extending in all directions under the prince's mansion for Lu Hui to travel.

There is a paved floor heating underground, not only is it not cold, but it is a little warmer than the ground, and Lu Hui even untied the big on his body and handed it over to Shan Shulin.

Shan Shulin didn't object, put Dalu on his arm, and followed behind her: "Thinking about it this way, the emperor actually knows that your absence is an illusion." ”

The secret passage of the prince's mansion was designed by the emperor, and it stands to reason that he should have known that on the day of Lü Yin's death, Lü Hui had enough time to assassinate, and he also knew that this matter had a great deal to do with himself and Lü Hui.

It's no wonder that he ordered himself to go to the torture hall at that time. All told, this punishment is indeed light.

"Of course he does." Lu Hui said, "After all, he is the emperor, how can this kind of thing be hidden?" Fortunately, he has more sons and less like this, and he is not sad. ”

Moreover, less is still the last one he wants.

The threat of the third prince to him is increasing day by day, and the emperor does not want to see him, and it is not a day or two.

Speaking of which, it was Lu Hui who gave him a curse.

"Really?" Shan Shulin seemed to think of something, and said in a low voice.

He looked at the smooth slate beneath his feet and felt as if he understood something.

"Here we are."

Lu Hui's voice interrupted his train of thought: "I made an appointment with Zong Yuan, and I went up to the newly built house." ”

Shan Shulin raised his head, raised his eyebrows and said, "He's already waiting?" ”

"Hmm." Lu Hui smiled, "He has never been late." ”

This compliment made Shan Shulin more and more unhappy. He said, "What about me?" ”

Walking up the steps, Lu Hui smiled, looked at his straight face, and coaxed: "You always come to look for me, do you think this answer is good?" ”

Shan Shulin's displeasure dissipated slightly, walked up the steps quickly, and reached out to help her: "There is some moisture on the ground, slippery, you be careful." ”

Lu Hui took his hand and walked up the steps: "You are too careful." ”

Nowadays, it is not as good as spring, there is no moss on the ground except for stagnant water, and no matter how slippery it is, it is limited.

The two of them walked up to the top floor, lifted the shelf, and before they could get to the ground, they saw a face looking directly above.

Zong Yuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Lu Hui, and when he saw Shan Shulin, his eyes widened: "Your Highness, why did he ...... with you?"

Lu Hui walked out of the tunnel and raised his eyebrows: "Why not?" ”

Shan Shulin brushed off the dust on Lu Hui's body, and asked rhetorically: "Why not?" ”

Zong Yuan was speechless. Since the prince thinks that it is a matter of course for Shan Shulin to follow him, then he is an outsider, what does he have to say?

Wait, isn't it an outsider just to be distracted?

He twisted his eyebrows, and turned his head just in time to see Shan Shulin busy putting the big back on Lu Hui's body.

The house was newly built for him to stay for a while, so time was so tight that there was a bit of a leak on all sides of the house.

It's normal for the prince to add more clothes, but what is not normal is Shan Shulin's attitude.

The more he looked at it, the more inappropriate Zong Yuan felt that this matter was more and more inappropriate.

He coughed lightly, stepped back to the table in the room, bowed and asked, "Your Highness, please take a seat." ”

Lu Hui saw that the chair had been cushioned, so that it would not be too cold to sit up, so he opened the hem of his clothes and sat down: "You are looking for me today, but what is the urgency?" ”

"There was no urgency." Speaking of business, Zong Yuan said seriously, "However, some changes in the Fan family, the minister still feels that he has to mention them with you, the crown prince." ”

"Please." Lu Hui said.

Zong Yuan just wanted to speak, but when he saw Shan Shulin standing next to Lu Hui, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He glanced at Shan Shu a few times, and wanted to speak, but he couldn't make a sound.

He always felt that there was some private information that should not be known to the person in front of him.

Zong Yuan's gaze made Lu Hui a little embarrassed.

First, she agreed to come with him, and she didn't want to hide it from him; Second, if he doesn't leave, I'm afraid Zong Yuan won't speak.

Sandwiched between the two, Lu Hui really didn't know what to do.

Shan Shulin took the first step. He stood up and said with a smile, "Tell me, I'll go outside and blow the wind." ”

Lu Hui smiled, did not refuse, and did not retain. She took off the big shackle on her body and handed it to Shan Shulin: "It's cold outside, wear this." ”

Shan Shulin took it and subconsciously glanced at Zong Yuan: "However, in order to ensure the safety of His Highness, I think a window should be opened." ”

As he spoke, without waiting for Zong Yuan's consent, he pushed open a window facing Zong Yuan and jumped out of the window.

Drown you. Zong Yuan said indignantly in his heart.

He always felt that the glance that Shan Shu looked at him had some provocative meaning.

"Can you say that now?"

Lu Hui sighed. She knew that Shan Shulin should be depressed again when she went back. What to ensure safety, he just doesn't want to be alone in the same room with Zongyuan.

"The Fan family's recent turnover is very abnormal." Zong Yuan said, "The accounts in some places are so abnormal that even laymen can feel that they are inappropriate. ”

But how could something as private as the ledger be shown to a layman like Zong Yuan? Lu Hui thought so in his heart, but he didn't say it: "Have you found out where these flowing waters went?"

Zong Yuan nodded and said in a low voice: "If I don't check badly, I'm afraid I went to Mei's house." ”

Mei family.

It's the Mei family again. Lu Hui's eyes darkened, and he looked at Zong Yuan, a little cold. The queen finally made a move. She really couldn't bear it.

Zong Yuan's gaze glanced out from time to time.

He can't be blamed for that. The wind outside blew from the direction of his face, making him shiver, and it was also a habit to look out from time to time.

It's just that every time he sees the outsider slipping away, the latter will turn his head away, as if he is dodging something.

What exactly is he hiding? Zong Yuan's mind drifted so far away that he didn't hear Lu Hui speak.

"Zongyuan?" Lu Hui raised his hand and called him, "Are you listening?" ”

Zong Yuan immediately returned to his senses: "Your Highness, this matter is the Mei family's trick and it is not known, after all, Concubine De is rampant now, and the queen has a little small move, but it is also common sense." ”

"But...... What I just asked you about is the movement of the Mei family's army. ”

Lu Hui noticed that Zong Yuan's mind didn't seem to be above what they were talking about. He seemed to be looking out.

Zong Yuan was a little apologetic: "Mei Jiajun didn't have any obvious movements, so I felt that there was something else wrong with this matter." ”

As he spoke, he secretly looked out with his peripheral vision, and happened to meet Shan Shulin's gaze.
