Chapter 50: The Secret of the Study
After asking Xu Lan, Baizhu was silent, and he had always returned to his bed and rested, and Xu Lan breathed a sigh of relief.
It's not that she doesn't believe in Baizhu, it's really this kind of thing, and the less one person knows, the less dangerous it is.
After all, Ji Chen believes in himself so much, and he must be worthy of this trust.
Thinking so, Xu Lan secretly got out of bed, walked to the table, gently took down the lampshade on the table, and burned the letter in her hand.
Looking at the envelope that was gradually turning into ashes, Xu Lan got into his hand, as if he had made up his mind.
The night always passed extremely fast, when Xu Lan woke up the next morning, the sky was gradually bright, and the Baizhu outside heard the movement in the room, so he gently pushed them away, and when he came in, he saw Xu Lan sitting on the edge of the bed, her eyes were still foggy, and she couldn't help but chuckle: "Miss, you can be regarded as awake." The carpenter will come to serve you, Miss. ”
Xu Lan was still in a daze, and when she heard what Baizhu said, she promised something, and finally waited until Baizhu had washed his face and brushed his teeth, and Xu Lan was truly sober.
Xu Lan, who woke up, suddenly thought of the decision she made last night, although she slept for a night, but Xu Lan is a person who does what she says, and many things, as long as Xu Lan makes up her mind, she will not change easily.
Thinking of this, Xu Lan coughed lightly and said to Baizhu: "Baizhu, father, what's the matter with mother's side in a few days?" ”
When Baizhu heard his young lady's question, he stopped what he was doing, tilted his head, thought about it carefully, and said: "Speaking of which, miss, today the prince and the princess are going to congratulate Lord Lin's family on his birthday, and there are only you and the eldest lady in the house, because it is a girl who has not left the cabinet, there is no need to go." ”
When Xu Lan heard this, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, sure enough, God helped me. However, on her face, Xu Lan really didn't show anything first, only saw Xu Lan nodded lightly, and said: "So that's the case, so my sister and I don't have to go to our mother to learn things hard." ”
When Baizhu heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Miss, you can joke, Miss, you have always been smart, even if it is the arithmetic of those who are difficult to die, it is very simple for you, Miss!" ”
When Xu Lan heard this, she couldn't help laughing, "Okay, Baizhu, others don't know, you don't know your young lady yet, those things, I have a headache when I see them, I really can't be considered proficient and intelligent, but my sister, who is much more talented than me, I am still not good at both abacus." ”
When Baizhu heard this, he just smiled and said: "Miss, don't be modest, although the slave doesn't know much about these things, but the slave and maid laugh at you every day, those things, the slave and the maid are also watching it every day, Miss, you can still understand, the slave and the maid really didn't understand what to do in the first part, and the slave and the maid don't know how well the eldest lady has learned, but ah, the slave and the maid know, Miss, you must sleep the smartest." ”
When Xu Lan heard this, she didn't have any effect, and said to Baizhu with a smile: "You sycophant, you will shoot your young lady's ass!" ”
That's what he said, but he definitely wasn't blaming Baizhu, Baizhu has always been the smartest, of course he could see what Xu Lan meant, and he smiled right now, not afraid of Xu Lan at all.
Xu Lan naturally wouldn't really embarrass a maid, it's just that you are just funny, and seeing that breakfast has been eaten, Xu Lan has already begun to secretly implement her plan.
Xu Lan picked up the handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth, and said to Baizhu, who was cleaning up the table: "Baizhu, I dare to have breakfast just now, it's a little greasy, you go to the small kitchen first, and give me that night of sour plum soup." ”
When Baizhu heard his young lady say this, he naturally agreed, and immediately went to the small kitchen.
Xu Lan saw that she had only opened the atractylodes, and there was only a stupid Bai Qi left beside her, and her heart was more calm, and after a while, Xu Lan pretended to pick up her female red, as if she remembered something, and said to Bai Qi: "Bai Qi, I think of it, I have a look, where is the eldest lady, it is a hundred birds and a phoenix, you go to my sister's place, help me come back." ”
Bai Qi is more stupid and sweet than Bai Zhu, she will not ask me about Xu Lan at all, it has always been Xu Lan who asks him to do something, so she will do it obediently, and when she heard Xu Lan tell her now, she didn't doubt it at all, she nodded, and she agreed, and went to Xu Xin's yard.
Seeing that the two main big maids around her had been left by herself, and the rest were just some thick maids, Xu Lan's heart was more stable.
She stood up and said to the maids in the courtyard, "I'm in a bad mood today, go outside by yourself, take a walk, don't follow me." ”
Those maids didn't dare to disobey Xu Lan even more, so just like that, Xu Lan was alone and sneaked out.
After Xu Lan came out, she didn't dare to delay at all, she carefully avoided those family members along the way, and walked directly to her father's study.
After arriving at the study, Xu Lan didn't dare to rush in, she cautiously glanced at the study, and sure enough, there was no one.
It is now morning, and Prince Xu is still in the morning court, which can be said to be the best time, Xu Lan looked around, and made sure that there was no one, so he quickly pushed open the door and entered his father's study.
Looking at the familiar appearance of this study, I am afraid that this is the second time Xu Lan has officially entered this study.
Xu Lan remembered that yesterday, her father was obviously in the study, but he killed a person, and there were two guesses at that time.
The first is that my father left the study and went somewhere else, but not soon, this speculation was dismissed.
Let's not mention, Xu Wangye has always been very strict with his study, it is impossible to leave by himself, not only not to turn off the lights, but even to the window, even if Xu Wangye has something at the time, he is really anxious and left in a hurry, but his father's study is served by a scholar, and he will definitely clean up the study before leaving.
But last night, the scene in the study, obviously, it was not for this reason, then, Xu Lan had a second guess.
That is, in this study, there are secret passages.
After all, Xu Lan grew up in King Xu's mansion, even if she is not familiar with the world, she knows that the royal family will generally arrange a few secret passages in her own mansion in case of emergency.
Moreover, although Xu Wangye said that he hid it very skillfully, Xu Lan, he was confident that he had that ability and could find that secret way.
Before entering this study, Xu Lan did not act rashly, she had quietly observed outside the study for a long time, and wrote down the size of the entire study, after entering the room, the first thing Xu Lan did was to measure the size of this study with her own steps.
Sure enough, Xu Lan only walked a few steps, and she had already discovered that there was a problem with the length of this study, and it was several feet behind.
Xu Lan didn't take a closer look at the furnishings in the study, and locked her eyes on the shelves full of books.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Lan walked to the front of the book, carefully observed the position of each book, and sure enough, on the third shelf, a book was found, and the dust around him was very less, far less than the dust on the surrounding trees, and looking at that book, it was actually Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching".
Xu Lan handed over her father very much, knowing that her father was not very interested in any saint, so let him read the Tao Te Ching, it is better to let him read a few military books.
It seems that the problem is in this book, Xu Lan thought like this, so she took out the book, and sure enough, there was a small button behind the book, Xu Lan thought about it for a while, and gently pressed the button.
As soon as she pressed the button, she only heard an extremely subtle "click", and the bookshelf in front of Xu Lan began to slowly separate, revealing a low school gate behind the bookshelf.
Xu Lan was not too surprised when she saw this scene, she tiptoed back to the original place of the "Tao Te Ching", tried to make the book no different from the original appearance, and then entered the small door.
After entering the small door, I only heard the sound of "Peng", and the small door had been automatically closed, and then there was the sound of the bookshelf moving on the ground outside, and I thought it was the bookshelf, which had been automatically closed.
I don't know why, when Xu Lan heard that voice, she was inexplicably a little panicked in her heart, but now that she has come to this point, she is panicking, and she can't turn back.
Xu Lan secretly gave herself a few points, then raised her head and carefully observed the things in this secret room.
Xu Wang Ye really said that the design of this secret room is very good, although because of the size of the place, in order not to arouse suspicion, the place is a bit small, but it is true that although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs.
Even just now, when this school monk was a monk, this small secret room was quietly lit with candles, illuminating this small secret room extremely brightly.
Xu Lan knew that there was a big deal, his father could come back anytime and anywhere, so he didn't dare to delay any longer, and his family began to take care of those Dongzi, but this look did directly surprise Xu Lan.
Before entering this study, Xu Lan had actually been thinking about it all night, trying to figure out what was inside this secret room.
Thinking of the final result, Xu Lan even doubted that her father wanted to hide his private dragon robe in the secret room as written in the play?
