When Huangfu Zhong came back to his senses, he and Ruotang had already stood in front of the Taihu Lake Stone where Chang'e ran to the moon.

"Imperial Doctor, do you think the concubine will like this Taihu Lake Stone?" Ruotang asked cautiously and eagerly.

Huangfu Zhong glanced at her anxious expression, she looked very worried that this gift was not in line with Concubine Shu's wishes, so she was eager to get his approval.

"There's nothing out of the ordinary about this stone." He looked indifferent and said casually.

But unconsciously took two steps forward. Raised his hand and touched the Taihu Lake stone full of holes.

Ruotang had a look of disappointment on his face, "Actually, I also think that it seems that it is not sincere enough to send such a stone on Niangniang's birthday, but I racked my brains and didn't know what to send." ”

After that, he asked cautiously, "The Imperial Doctor must have known Niangniang earlier than me, I don't know if you know what Niangniang's preferences are?" ”

Huangfu Zhong turned his head suddenly, and a pair of gloomy eyes stared at Ruotang gloomily.

Ruotang seemed to be taken aback, and snorted with a white face and fear: "Imperial Doctor, but did I say something wrong?" ”

The dazed and panicked on her face didn't seem to be fake, and Huangfu Zhong looked at her fixedly for a long time, before he said coldly: "I'm not familiar with her!" ”

Cut! Ruotang rolled his eyes in his heart. You want to get acquainted with people!

I glared at her so much just now, and it wasn't because of a weak heart.

Just thinking about it, he suddenly felt the ground under his feet move, and before Ruotang could react, his whole body fell down in a hurry.

Ruotang was stuck in his throat with a half-exclamation, and fell on all fours unprepared, but he was finally down-to-earth.

The black hole in front of her made her dare not move easily. It took a long time for her eyes to adjust to the darkness in front of her a little, and then she vaguely saw a vague figure lying not far from her.

"Imperial Doctor, are you alright?" Ruotang took two steps in his direction, and the soles of her feet were very flat, which made her slightly stunned.

She really couldn't have dreamed of it. In this new mansion she bought. There is even an underground secret room...... This is supposed to be a secret room, right? And the mechanism of this underground secret room should be on the Taihu Lake Stone?

Just now, there were two people on the edge of Taihu Lake Stone, and Huangfu Zhong's hand was resting on Taihu Lake, thinking that if he inadvertently touched the mechanism, they would be unlucky enough to fall from above.

Ruotang raised his eyes and looked at the ground that was still closed, but he didn't hear Huangfu Zhong's response, so he couldn't help but panic.

"The Imperial Doctor?" She is a weak female streamer who falls from the top and is fine, and its height should not be high, why does the emperor and the doctor fall to the point that he doesn't know who is wrong?

She took two more steps closer to him.

I haven't had time to look at it yet. The person who was lying on the ground without movement suddenly jumped up, raised his hand and grabbed Ruotang's neck, "What do you want to do?" ”

Ruotang was pinched by his neck against the rough wall, and her throat and back hurt for a while, and her eyes turned black for a while. Huangfu Zhong's hand was like iron tongs, mercilessly tightening tighter and tighter.

"You...... You let go ......" Ruotang only felt that his head was starting to get bloodshot, and what his eyes saw was also a bloody patch.

Damn, what do you mean she wants to do? She clearly didn't do anything!

"You want to trap me here and force me to give you a complete solution!" The voice of the Huangfu bell rang cold and fiercely in his ears, "Dream! ”

"It's not me!" Ruotang struggled and hissed and shouted, "I didn't know there was a ...... There's this. I've only been moving in for a few days......"

Huangfu Zhong's hand paused, but he stared at Ruotang's eyes as if assessing.

After a moment, he let go of his hand in disgust, and wiped the hand that had pinched Ruotang's neck on his clothes.

Ruotang, who was bending over and coughing, saw it, and the corners of his mouth twitched and twitched, did he mean that she was dirty?

After getting better, Ruotang straightened up, and saw that the Huangfu Zhong was walking around in this small secret room, and his hands were groping up and down the wall, as if looking for a mechanism to get out.

She pursed her lips, touched her neck that was still painful, and unconsciously moved away from him, "I was about to ask you, where did you hit just now?" Is it a mechanism on the Taihu Stone? I've looked at the stone carefully, but I didn't find anything special. ”

At that time, she only felt that this house was in line with her heart, and she didn't feel anything strange, if it weren't for today's fall, she probably would never have found out that there was a secret room hidden in this house.

I don't know who the owner of the mansion in front of me is, and why he went to the trouble to get some secret rooms out.

Huangfu Zhong didn't speak, just snorted coldly.

Ruotang also followed his example and began to grope on the wall, but the rough wall scratched her fingers, she groped twice, and then threw away her hand, "Jixiang should find a way outside." ”

She remembered that Jixiang was standing not far behind her, and when she fell, she seemed to see Jixiang flying towards her. But the hole closed so fast that Jixiang didn't have time to catch her.

"There are only mechanisms coming down on the Taihu Lake Stone, and there are no mechanisms going out." This time, Huangfu Zhong didn't pretend to be a fool, but his tone was full of mockery. "And even if they touch the stones, I'm afraid they won't find them!"

Ruotang's heart was full of faces, looking up at the top of his head that he couldn't hear for a long time in the black hole, he really wanted to point at the thief and scold him, is this because her life is not exciting enough?

Huangfu Zhong was groping, and suddenly heard a pitiful and crying voice from the corner that was holding back the fear of trembling, "Huangfu Divine Doctor, are we going to be trapped and die here?" ”

His heart trembled, as if it was still that year, in the same dark cave, the girl pulled his sleeve in fear and said to him: "Ah Zhong, are we going to die here?" ”

He took a deep breath and his tone unconsciously softened, "No. ”

Ruotang was stunned, she naturally did not miss the subtle change of Huangfu Zhong, and she really had mixed feelings for a while - she was also inspired to think of Concubine Shugui's almost invincible White Lotus Kung Fu, so she tried it casually without any psychological pressure, and the Huangfu Zhong, who was originally cold and impatient with her, really softened her tone.

"But you've searched for this boxy wall several times. Is there really a mechanism to get out of this? Ruotang continued to ask pitifully.

Huangfu Zhong said lightly, "Naturally." ”

He paused, then added, "If you don't feel well, rest against the wall for a while, and then I can get out when I find the mechanism." ”

Ruotang was about to cheer, Huangfu Zhong's tone this time was softer than that, it seemed that this pitiful trick was very effective. Presumably, Concubine Shu faced him and used this trick?

"Oh." Ruotang really sat down in the corner of the wall very obediently, but he still talked to him in fear, "Divine doctor, you must find a way out, I ...... I don't want to die yet. ”

There was another bang in Huangfu Zhong's mind, and the memories that he forcibly pressed in his heart surged out like ashes.

"Ah Zhong, I'm so scared, I don't want to die."

"Don't be afraid, I'll go out and find someone to save you, you wait here, don't be afraid."

"No, I'll go with you."

"But you are injured and it is difficult to move, you are obedient, I will not leave you alone."

"You must come back, I will wait for you obediently, you must come back!"

"I'll be back, I will, I will."

……

Later, she didn't wait for him to save her, but saw him entangled with other women.

Later, he lost her forever.

……

When the solid and rough wall suddenly opened, Ruotang was about to fall asleep in the corner.

Huangfu Zhong, who had worked hard to find a mechanism and his arm was sore, saw Ruotang's sleepy eyes, and asked him in a daze while wiping the saliva on his mouth: "Eh, where is this?" ”

Huangfu Zhong's eyelids jumped, and without saying a word, he turned around and walked towards the narrow passage that was still dark. "If you want to die here, stay still."

Ruotang was stunned, and hurriedly got up with both hands and feet, but she had been sitting for a long time, her legs were a little numb, and when she stood up, she noticed that with a sigh, she stumbled and almost fell to the ground, "Divine doctor, you wait for me!" ”

Originally, she just blurted out in a hurry, Ruotang didn't think that the uncertain Huangfu Zhong would really wait for her, but when she raised her head, she really saw that although Huangfu Zhong was full of impatience, he was still standing in the aisle, waiting for her motionlessly.

Ruotang's heart moved, he struggled to get up, endured the soreness from his legs, leaned against the wall and walked over, and smiled at him reluctantly, "Thank you, Divine Doctor." ”

Huangfu Zhong snorted, and then continued to walk forward.

Ruotang listened to his snort and didn't seem to be as cold as before, and his courage couldn't help but grow, "Divine doctor, where does this passage lead?" ”

"How do I know?"

"But you're so good, just look for it and you can really find the mechanism. If it weren't for the Divine Doctor, you wouldn't have been trapped and dyed under this place today—it's really strange, how could there be such things in this house? ”

Huangfu Zhong didn't answer, and Ruotang was not discouraged, "It seems that the Taihu stone can't be given to the concubine Niangniang, alas, I don't know what the concubine Niangniang likes, if the gift is not to her liking, I will ...... I'm really afraid that the mother will be unhappy. ”

The corners of Huangfu Zhong's mouth moved, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it in the end.

Ruotang still chattered behind him and said: "We didn't know that Niangniang was still in the world, and for so many years, she had never done her filial piety well, and she always felt uneasy. Fortunately, now that I finally have this opportunity, I will definitely treat my mother as my own mother, and honor her well—does the doctor think I'm too verbose? I'm also too nervous, after all, this is the first birthday party for the mother we attended, in case the gift is not to her liking......"

"She won't be angry!" Huangfu Zhong interrupted Ruotang's words as if he was displeased, and cut off Ruotang's words in a cold voice.

Ruotang was still seriously distressed: "Yes, Niangniang is the most soft, and she treats people very kindly, so she will not be angry, but in the end, it is the first time we have given her a birthday, this has a different meaning, so it is better to be cautious." ”

Huangfu Zhong's expression seemed to soften a little.

Ruotang said, as if talking to himself: "This matter has to be discussed with His Royal Highness, he values Niangniang's birthday more than me, if I make my own initiative and prepare other gifts, the prince is only afraid that he will annoy me......"

Huangfu Zhong's ears were pricked up, "Your Highness Seventh values Niangniang's birthday?" ”

"Nature is valued." Ruotang didn't seem to notice his abnormality, "My Royal Highness is a mother's ......"

As she spoke, she seemed to wake up suddenly, and hurriedly closed her mouth.

After thinking about it, he said as if remedy: "The Seventh Highness is the most filial, regardless of whether it is the concubine or the other ladies in the palace, the Seventh Highness is a junior, and he is very good to them." Naturally, the birthday of the noble concubine is also very important to His Royal Highness Seven. He believed me, so he was willing to leave this matter to me, but unfortunately I messed it up, what should I do? ”

"How did I hear that His Royal Highness the Seventh and the noble concubine seem to be a little discordant?" Huangfu Zhong finally couldn't help it.

"Not good?" Ruotang's eyes widened in surprise, "Where did the divine doctor start with this?" If His Royal Highness is really not on good terms with the noble concubine, how can he tell me to prepare for the birthday ceremony of the mother? My prince is very good to the concubine, don't talk nonsense - who did you listen to say this, you tell me, I won't spare him! It was actually arranged to the mother and His Royal Highness, and it really deserved to be punished! ”

She looked indignant and shallow and ignorant, and the Huangfu Zhong glanced at her, "How can a benevolent person like the noble concubine Niangniang care about what birthday gift the junior gives, what she cares about is naturally the junior's heart for her." ”

Ruotang was still entangled: "What do you mean, no matter what gift you give, will the lady like it?" ”

"Naturally."

Ruotang nodded instructively, "Fortunately, there are still a few days, and I can still go outside to see if there are any gifts suitable for my mother." Divine doctor, do you think it will be more sincere and filial to give a gift made by yourself? ”

As soon as the Imperial Doctor turned his head, he saw Ruotang's trusting gaze, which made him recall once again the way she looked at him in the past, and couldn't help but darken his eyes, "Naturally, what you do with your own hands is the best." ”

Her birthday, if only he could give her a birthday gift on that day, how nice it would be.

"I occasionally got an ancient book a few days ago, which recorded a recipe for teasing fat powder, saying that the fat powder made from this recipe is not only delicate, but also can be used for a long time, and it can also stay and nourish the skin, which is very magical. However, Niangniang's posture of heaven and man, where can I use these ......" Ruotang said and said, he was deflated, "Besides, that recipe requires a lot of medicines, and I don't know anything about them, in case there are any medicines that are conflicting, and the amount is something, I'm afraid that I can't master it well, so forget it......"

"You show me that ancient recipe, and I can help you with a look at it." Huangfu Zhong interrupted her stiffly.

Ruotang looked at him excitedly, "Is it really possible?" Won't it be too much trouble for you? ”

"If you can trust me, give me the ancient recipe, and if it is really useful, I will make the fat powder and give it to you." Huangfu Zhong frowned and thought about it.

If it's really an ancient recipe for rejuvenation, you can really try it.

"How is this good?" Ruotang hurriedly shook his head, "It was a gift I wanted to give to my mother, I should have made it myself to show sincerity and filial piety, if you have worked hard, when the time comes, can this gift be regarded as my own hand?" When I got to my mother, I couldn't tell if I did it. "Brother of the sub-private group.

She looked ashamed and ashamed, and Huangfu Zhong's brows furrowed a little deeper, and she pursed her lips in displeasure, "Trouble." ”

Ruotang deliberately distorted his meaning, and said embarrassedly: "I also think that I am troublesome, and I am really sorry to annoy you." I'd better figure it out myself. ”

Huangfu Zhong looked at her face that was almost wrinkled into a bun again, and finally said, "Tomorrow, you will find out the ancient recipe and come to me where I live!" ”

It was an undoubted tone, and when he said it, he said an address!

Ruotang was overjoyed, but asked uneasily: "In this way, will it bother you too much?" ”

"Do you want to bother me?" Huangfu Zhong had a dark face and glared at him.

Ruotang looked at him fearfully, and replied pitifully: "Yes!" ”

……

The two walked silently in this secret passage for about half an hour, and the secret passage was not yet at the end, Ruotang glanced at the Huangfu Zhong in front of him, who exuded the aura of "don't talk to me", and pursed his lips.

At this moment, a faint knocking sound suddenly fell on Ruotang's ears. Ruotang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly looked at Huangfu Zhong: "But it's coming?" ”

As soon as I finished asking, I felt that something was not right, the voice did not seem to come from the ground, but rather muffled, as if it came from underground.

Underground? , could it be that someone knows about this secret passage and wants to open up this secret passage, and then use this secret passage to sneak into their own house?

This must be friend or foe! Who is so bold as to do such a thing?

Huangfu Zhong obviously heard it too, he frowned slightly, and glanced at Ruotang, who was already boiling in his heart but had a look of ignorance and didn't understand anything on his face, "The secret room and secret passage in your house are afraid that they will be sealed to be safe." ”

Ruotang looked at him in surprise, still ignorant and ignorant.

She was actually a little surprised, she didn't expect the Huangfu Bell to remind her to pay attention to safety.

It seems that this Huangfu Zhong is not as cold-blooded and ruthless as he thought, "How to seal it, I won't." ”

Ruyi once said that if he dares to leave where he lives with confidence, then there must be another mystery in the place where he lives. In that secret room just now, he tinkered for a long time, and he really found a way to leave, which shows that Huangfu Zhong himself knows the Tao in the secret passages of these organs very well.

Ruotang tried his best to talk to himself, and made up ancient books and ancient recipes, just to get close to Huangfu Zhong, and now Huangfu Zhong is willing to remind her that Ruotang will naturally not let him go.

Seeing Ruotang's appearance, Huangfu Zhong glared at her with contempt, and said impatiently: "I'll go to your house with you later!" ”

Ruotang seemed to think for a while before he understood, and he didn't know what to do: "Huangfu Divine Doctor, thank you so much, you are such a good person!" ”

Huangfu Zhong's thin cheeks jumped uncontrollably, "I'm not a good person." ”

"How so?" Ruotang struggled to catch up with him, "You and I don't know each other, just because of Niangniang's request, you not only helped me solve the Gu, but also helped me seal this tunnel and secret passage, and also helped me make that fat powder paste." And you won't be annoyed by me, unlike the prince, who always scolds me for being stupid. ”

Huangfu Zhong suddenly stopped, Ruotang, who had been chasing him, almost hit him on the back, and finally stabilized, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Huangfu Zhong staring at her again.

Ruotang naturally put on a stupid look that he didn't know why, and asked him cautiously, "What's wrong?" ”

"He is now the seventh prince of the Ryuk Kingdom, you don't know how to call her indiscriminately, beware of bringing trouble to her!" Huangfu Zhong warned sternly.

Ruotang's eyes widened, and he patted his chest with sudden realization and fear, "Yes, I remember, I must remember it firmly, and I will never cause trouble to the prince!" ”

After that, he happily patted his ass, "You still say that you are not a good person, you even care so much about His Royal Highness the Seventh, it can be seen that you are a really good person!" ”

And give him a high thumbs up.

Huangfu Zhong felt that his old face was a little hot, and glared at Ruotang fiercely, "Don't talk nonsense!" ”

After speaking, he turned around and strode forward more and more.

Ruotang stuck out his tongue behind him, and smiled very happily, this imperial doctor is actually not so difficult. "Uncle Divine Doctor, slow down, I can't keep up with you, Uncle-"

I saw the tall and thin back in front of me suddenly tilt, as if it had reached my feet.

"Oh, uncle, are you broken? Don't move, I'll help you. Ruotang was worried, but he was about to laugh in his heart.

……

Back in the house, Huangfu Zhong simply and rudely smashed the Taihu Stone Hammer, then dropped the hammer, and under the stammering gaze of Ruotang and the others, he walked away without saying a word.

The corners of Ruotang's mouth twitched for a long time, looking at the pile of rotten stones on the ground, "This is ...... Done? ”

Then he was in the tunnel just now, and he told her this method directly, didn't he get it?

Ruotang couldn't care about the twitching corners of his mouth, chased all the way to the door, and shouted loudly: "Uncle Divine Doctor, I'll go to you early tomorrow morning!" ”

I saw the back of the originally fast walker, and immediately walked faster.

As soon as the door was closed, the auspicious Ruyi and Cai Qing, who had a blue nose and swollen face, suddenly surrounded him.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Ruotang smiled and comforted everyone with very ugly faces, and looked at Cai Qing who was crying worriedly, "Cai Qing, what's wrong with your face?" I remember in a trance, when the divine doctor gave me a Gu solution, you seemed to scream? ”

Cai Qing pulled her sleeve with teary eyes, "What kind of miracle doctor is that, such a long needle, it will be pierced directly into your neck without saying hello, such a long needle-"

She gestured with her two hands, "When the slave saw it, he screamed in fright, and he lifted the slave and the slave and threw her out, and the slave and the maid hit her head on the stone slab, and that's it." ”

Ruotang: "......"

It's really in line with Huangfu Zhong's simple and rude style!

Ruotang was stunned, and immediately remembered something, "Ruyi, you go to my brother-in-law's place, and tell him to immediately get me a set of ancient books for fat powder, which must be ancient books!" You tell him I'm going to use it early tomorrow morning. Cai Qing, you go with me...... Forget it, you can rest at home, Jixiang and I will go to the vegetable market, let's go grocery shopping. ”

……

Chu Qianlan came earlier than usual at night, and she hurried over after dark.

As soon as she entered the door, she hugged Ruotang up and down, and it took a long time to breathe a sigh of relief and ask her about the process of unraveling the Gu.

"I was stunned by how he didn't know how to use it, and I don't know how he lured the Gu worm out." Ruotang frowned in distress.

She originally borrowed a doctor from Zhou Houyuan's medical hall, wanting him to sneak into the house and steal Huangfu Zhong's Gu solving techniques, but she didn't even let the door in.

"Really elicit out?" Chu Qianlan frowned, as if she couldn't believe that it would go so smoothly.

"Well, you can see for yourself." Ruotang pointed to the bowl that didn't let people move.

Chu Qianlan looked at it and immediately sneered, "Half? Sure enough......"

Ruotang endured his nausea and comforted him: "Half of it, half of it." ”

He said with a strong smile: "In addition to this half of the Gu worm today, there is another harvest - although the Imperial Doctor is a little uncertain, he is a warm-hearted person of the ancestor." ”

He recounted the adventures of the two of them falling into the secret room together, "Along the way, I found that he didn't hate me so much." ”

"What do you want to do?" Before Chu Qianlan could finish listening to her, she guessed her plan and couldn't help frowning slightly.

"I just thought, although Concubine Shu is very familiar with him, she can't come out to meet him often, if I can be friendly with him during this time, will he change his mind and lure out that half of the damn bug?"

Chu Qianlan's brows were still tightly locked, and when she saw Ruotang's urgency with her gaze, she muttered: "It's not impossible, it's just that Huangfu Zhong has a strange temperament, if he takes the opportunity to toss you......"

"No, it won't." Ruotang smiled sweetly at him, "If the Imperial Doctor really wants to toss me, as long as he leaves me in the secret passage and ignores me, it will be enough for me to bear it." Moreover, I have figured out a good way to deal with him, don't worry, I will definitely not let him toss me. ”

As he spoke, he told him how he pretended to be stupid and cute, Chu Qianlan's eyelids jumped when she heard it, and finally hugged her and sighed, "You little fool." ”

Maybe the Huangfu Bell can really be taken down by her.

"No matter what, let Jixiang follow you, and don't be alone."

Ruotang naturally agreed quickly, and the two hugged quietly for a while, and Ruotang asked if he had made progress in the criminal department.

Chu Qianlan stretched her eyebrows, and said with a smile: "The handle of Lang Zhong and one of the members of the Criminal Department is now in my hand, and the two of them have been following the Criminal Department for a long time, so they will naturally pinch some life-saving handles in their hands, and see how long they can carry it." ”

Ruotang was inevitably worried, "Although this coercive method works, will it force them to be anxious, but it will be unfavorable to you?" ”

"It's better if you're in a hurry." Chu Qianlan smiled indifferently, "If the dog really jumps off the wall in a hurry, it just happens to serve those few pots in the Criminal Department!" ”

"Aren't you going to subdue them? Serve them all ......" Ruotang said and looked at Chu Qianlan who was calm and relaxed, "From the very beginning, you never thought about subduing these people?" ”

"Coercing them can suppress them for a while, but it is never the best way." Chu Qianlan smiled proudly and arrogantly, "Besides, why should I use someone else's people?" Only those who pick it up by themselves can rest assured when they use it, do you say this is the truth? ”

"Baili Huang can tolerate such a big move from you? The big change of blood in the criminal department will not affect his government? Ruotang was really worried.

"Who cares about him?" Chu Qianlan snorted coldly.

Ruotang looked up at him and laughed silently.

It's really good, his reckless and arrogant appearance made her see Chu Qianlan again, when she was in Da Chu in the past, it seemed that nothing could be difficult or trap him!
