Behind the verdant bushes, there was a slight muffled sound, and when I looked again, I had opened a small mouth three feet square. The long staircase winds into the darkness, and the passage is narrow enough to accommodate only about one person.

Jiang Huaiyang took a few steps down, stretched out his hand to her, and motioned for her to come over.

She hesitated and walked slowly. She had always known that his mind was unpredictable, and she didn't understand why he told her such secrets. It seemed that something had caught her heart and made it difficult for her to breathe.

Ruan Yuyi took his hand and went down the steps, as if the whole thing was swallowed up in the ground little by little. After a while, the exit closed behind her.

She subconsciously looked back, and her grip on his hand tightened again.

Everything around is dark, and you really can't see your fingers, and there is a unique smell of long-term closure between your noses.

Going down, the aisle widened. He tuddled over the hem of her skirt against the wall, as if noticing her gaze, and whispered, "The wall is dirty." So she leaned obediently to his side.

Anyway, he brought himself in, so it should be for her to snuggle for a while. She thought so.

He lit the fire, and she could see that there were many candles on the surrounding walls. But he didn't light everything at once, but when the light in front of him barely illuminated the road ahead, he lit a new one.

I don't know if it was because of the light or the familiar fragrance on his body, she relaxed a lot and focused her mind on the path of memory.

I thought I was just walking like this, but I saw him suddenly pause. He leaned down, picked up a stone from the side, and threw it forward. The stones hit the ground with a sound, followed by arrows that sprang out from between the stone walls.

The arrows were so dense that they were nailed to the ground diagonally.

Her heart tightened slightly, and she couldn't help but be a little afraid. If they didn't know it, they walked over, and the arrow pierced their bodies.

He noticed her uneasiness, "Don't worry, you won't lose your life here." "If so, he was familiar with this place before, knowing where every mechanism was and which road led to which palace.

The little lady's calm voice came from behind her, "The concubine believes in Your Majesty." She hung her head slightly, unable to distinguish her expression.

Jiang Huaiyang didn't say anything more, leading her to continue walking.

She watched silently, and with the previous arrows, she knew that there were many mechanisms here, and there was no way to be careless. Because he memorized every action he made and even the place where he landed, he could make all kinds of mistakes and inevitably have omissions.

Her eyebrows tightened as she memorized and combed through what she had memorized.

He held her in one hand, and the tips of his fingers slid across the stone wall with the other. The underbelly of his fingers was uneven, and the cold touch wrapped around him, reminding him of the last time he had been here.

After the palace change, almost all the royal men were poisoned, and at that time, King Yu was far away in the fiefdom, and he was powerless to resist, but fortunately, the poison was not fast, he avoided the eyes and ears of the three princes, and avoided this secret passage that no one knew.

He was not in good condition at the time, and he walked out in a daze, and he remembered that the sun was shining brightly that day.

Later, Xu was also determined by heaven that his life should not be extinguished, so he had to be rescued by one person. He led his troops back to the palace, and at that time, the once rich and prosperous imperial city was already in a miserable state.

And this was only a few months ago. In a trance, he seemed to be able to smell the smell of blood he had left here.

Xu was dark and blurred time, and I don't know how long it took, and the two finally came to an end. He asked, "Remember?" ”

Naturally, she couldn't have said it all, and besides, she couldn't figure out his intentions, if he wanted to use this to test her, saying that he had written it all down and caused disaster, what would she do?

She shook her head slightly, "I just remembered a rough idea." If you want the concubine to go again, it is estimated that you will have to fold halfway. ”

He was silent for a moment, "It's okay. He figured he wouldn't make this secret passage useful again.

But after this trip, this secret was like a long vine, probing into the flesh and blood of the two, and piercing the spikes into the bones, making him feel that this fairy-like person seemed to have been pulled into the same quagmire by him.

He pressed his hand against the stone wall in front of him, and the stone wall easily loosened. As soon as the bright light shines in, and after getting used to the dimness, the light is particularly dazzling.

Ruan Yuyi squinted her eyes before she could see the scene in front of her. The water red soft curtains, the embroidered gold chairs, and the half-dried red plums in the vase are not Chang'an Palace.

The main hall is locked, but the bedding and tent curtains are all ready, not as empty as the last time, it is already the appearance of a capable person.

The entrance to the secret passage slowly closes, and standing in front of the wall as a cover, is a square Bogu shelf, and the edge of the shelf just covers the gap in the door.

After many walks, she was protected by him, but she was never hurt, and she never got dirty on her dress, but she was inevitably tired. She didn't want to stay in the Heart Cultivation Hall for a long time, because she wanted to hook his fingers.

"Your Majesty, the concubines see that there are a lot of daily objects added to this palace, and they can probably live in it."

She has a pair of affectionate eyes, her cheeks are like a new li, and she has a coquettish tone, that is, she knows that this little lady is very elf, and only when she has something to ask for, will it be like this, and his heart is also a little softer.

He glanced at her and relieved, "At that time, someone will send your personal belongings, don't worry." But this time, I didn't take you out of the palace in vain, what should I give in return? ”

She pretended not to understand his dark eyes, and only said with a smile, "The concubine will go and pick flowers later, and make some balm for Your Majesty." ”

He carelessly fiddled with her jeweled earlobe, looking at the redness that seemed to drip blood. He chuckled, "I'm not a woman, what do I want you to do with this balm?" ”

She tilted her head slightly and pressed her cheek to his palm, "Your Majesty dislikes the white rabbit lantern made by the concubine, so why is it still left to this day." "His palms were scorching, with a somewhat rough callus.

Jiang Huaiyang stared at her for a long time, but didn't return his hand, his palm seemed to be stained with the softness of her cheeks, so slippery and nostalgic.

She didn't know what she thought, her face turned red and red, "...... Your Majesty has obtained the ointment, and you can use it with your concubines. ”

His eyes darkened, he lowered his head, bit her ear and said, "I wrote it down." ”

Suddenly, there was a faint voice outside the door, probably the palace maid who was in charge of sprinkling and sweeping. One of them said, "Do you hear movement inside?" ”

She was already very ashamed in her heart, and as soon as the strings in her heart were tightened, she covered his mouth without thinking about it. He cooperated silently, and lowered his eyes to see her panicked.

...... "No, maybe you misheard." The voices outside faded away.

The four times were quiet again. Seeing him laughing, Ruan Yuyi suddenly realized where she was, as well as the identity of the person in front of her, where she needed to hide. If you really talk about it, it is the two palace people outside who should be avoided.

After touching a cup of tea, he told her to rest here and then withdrew. The corners of the clothes turned out of the hall and disappeared.

Ruan Yuyi breathed a sigh of relief. Her body was so soft that she could barely stand, and she took a few steps back and fell into the cushion of her chair.

When the heat on his face subsided, Mu Xiang, who came back from the original way, also got the letter and found it in Chang'an Palace.
