Under the plum forest, Ruan Yuyi stood, her figure graceful and delicate, and the petals fluttered on her shoulders, embellished with a touch of bright color. Xuanrao was afraid of offending her, so she didn't dare to look at her directly.

His eyes fell on her gold-woven skirt, and asked tentatively, "Niangniang, this is—"

Naturally, she didn't say anything about it, but her majesty rested, allowing her to walk around at will, not wanting to go to the edge of the forest. That's not a big deal.

He hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice, "Niangniang don't want to go forward, the little one just saw a few guards over there, and they came from the palace." It's better to go in the opposite direction. ”

She understood, "Thanks for the pointers." ”

He really wouldn't allow her to walk around so easily, presumably the vicinity of this forest was already full of his people. She looked sad, but she never thought about how Xuanrao in front of her would come in if there were really people everywhere.

She had already lost the interest in appreciating the plums, said goodbye to Xuanrao, and turned back to find the carriage when she came.

On the way back, she realized how far she had gone with Mu Xiang. Following the memory back to its original place, the carriage was still parked in the same place, the wind blowing, and the curtain floated slightly.

Everything is as it was when it left.

Walking back and forth was a lot hotter, she handed the sleeve stove to Mu Xiang, stood in place and slowed down, and then walked towards that place.

Jiang Huaiyang didn't know how long he had been awake, and he was reclining, holding a scroll in his hand.

She was a little weak-hearted, and when she looked closer, before she could see the words on it, she asked, "What did Your Majesty look at?" Xu is body was hot, and the smell of incense powder on his body permeated.

He only felt that the words on it were shaking a few times. He casually put the scroll aside, glanced at her, and said lightly, "Walked far?" His face was so red. ”

He hadn't actually fallen asleep in the first place, from the two times she called him to the whispered instructions with Wen Pheasant, he heard them clearly. And although there are people outside, there are only a few scattered.

She really wants to avoid it, it's not difficult to avoid it.

He deliberately let her go, just to see how far she would go. If she really escaped, it would be fine, let her play outside the palace for two days, and then go to pick people back.

He knew that Li Meiren's affairs would have some influence on her, so he gave her a chance to leave the palace. It's just that she only came back after half an hour, which was really unexpected by him.

He straightened the plum blossoms on her sideburns. He suddenly felt that it was a little difficult to discern what she was thinking.

She lifted the thin strap of her cloak with her fingertips, letting it slide off and pile up behind her. She said casually and familiarly, "I didn't pay attention to the distance, and when I came back to my senses, I was already a little far away." ”

She rested her head on his shoulder, as if she was tired.

He followed her words, as if playing with her, "Well, there is still a way to go later." He dragged his tone and sent it into her ear word by word.

There was doubt in her eyes, and she couldn't figure out what he meant.

The wagon did not return immediately, but carried them all the way to the depths of the forest. Along the way, Ruan Yuyi was bored and lifted a corner of the curtain to look out, but found that the plum trees along the way were a little strange, as if they deliberately gave way to the road.

After getting out of the carriage, I saw a hut in front of me. The white walls are tiled, there are some moss climbing in the corners, and there is a water tank in front of the house, and there are traces of human life everywhere.

She followed Jiang Huaiyang's side and stepped forward.

Wen Pheasant knocked on the door twice, and there was a faint sound of footsteps inside. After a while, the wooden door creaked open, and it was Master Wakaku of the Holy River Temple who came out.

He raised his eyes and looked at the two of them, twisted the Buddha string and whispered "Amitabha", and turned sideways to signal a few people to enter.

There's not much space inside, so you can see it all at a glance. Two bells of tea, a few small on one side, are all the things that can be taken out to entertain guests. Ruokong was not embarrassed by this, and his expression was always very peaceful.

He motioned for the two to sit down.

Seeing Ruan Yuyi's suspicious face, Ruokong seemed to guess what she thought, and said with a smile, "The poor monks live here all the year round, and only occasionally go to the temple to live. ”

The pilgrims in the temple come and go, but it is easy to disturb his practice.

She was stunned and bowed slightly.

Jiang Huaiyang's face was hidden in the dark, "So, you may have said?" "With Ruokong's prestige among the people, Rao is him, and he has to pay tribute to three points.

If there is a strange rule in the empty space, everyone involved must be present before they can see each other. Last time, he only came alone, so he didn't get anything.

Since Qiu Hunt was caught by the nightmare of her death at that time, he had also taken medicine, but it never worked, and her bloody face still occasionally came into his dreams. After Imperial Physician Ning raised his mouth, he remembered Ruokong.

Although he didn't believe these false claims, when he thought about it, wasn't the dream itself strange? Then I found a time to meet someone.

Ruokong didn't answer immediately, but closed his eyes unhurriedly, muttering something. There was no one to interrupt him, and after a while, he saw that he opened his eyes again.

"The donor just has to follow his heart."

Conscience? What is the original mind? Is it the fault of saving Dr. Hu by mistake, is it the vast country under his feet, or-

He turned his face slightly.

Seeing that she had nothing to do with herself, the little lady lowered her head and turned the jade bracelet on her wrist. The jade bracelet is double-ringed, and one is no more than the thickness of a woman's little finger, and when it moves, a crisp sound comes out.

Making a move, her plain white fingertips froze, and she let go of her hand, no longer playing.

He thought for a moment, but he didn't know how many thoughts were in his head, mixed and intertwined. He let out a long breath, bowed his head slightly to Ruokong, and then stood up to speak.

However, he did not go to the main entrance, but went straight to the courtyard, but he was not stopped by nothing.

The courtyard is not large, the layout is also simple, and the plum trees outside will stick their branches in, which has a unique charm.

"I remember Ling Ling very well." He said suddenly, paused for a moment, and then said, "You have to remember the next way back to the palace." ”

She had a strange feeling in her heart and asked, "Why don't we take a ride back to the palace?" "It's not too far from the palace, but it's still a bit of a journey.

He didn't respond, and pressed a brick on the wall beside him.

The bricks that should have been solid were pressed down. She glanced at the brick and noticed that the brick had a shell embedded in it, most of it embedded in the brick, revealing only a white color about the size of a fingernail.

"Your Majesty, this is ......," she was surprised.

He said in a deep voice, "The secret passage of the palace. "This secret passage should have been passed down to the monarchs of the past generations, but he knew it by mistake when he was a child, and after he ascended the throne, he really found the map of the secret passage in the Qianqing Palace.

This is the most secret underground vein of the palace, like a dragon entrenched in the ground, and it is one of the swords of the monarch to grasp power.

One of the exits to this secret passage is located here to cover up the abode of the Buddhist masters. This is the only way to ensure that no one will find this place.

Hearing this, Ruan Yuyi's heart jumped.
