Wu Xi's eyes were evasive, looking up and down, left and right, but he didn't dare to look at Yueqing's eyes: "I'm not, I don't, Yueqing, you really misunderstood me."

It's a pity that the expression on his face that pretends to be calm, and the erratic eyes that make people know that there are ghosts at a glance have completely betrayed him, and Yueqing is not a fool, so he can naturally see that there are ghosts in it at a glance. She curled the corners of her lips and sneered: "I hate being deceived the most, especially by you...... Now, you can make everything clear to me. ”

It turns out that she still remembers the old incident!

Wu Xi lowered his head aggrievedly and held Yueqing's hand hard. The latter wanted to shake his hand away, but the disparity in strength between men and women was too great, and Wu Xi said that he would not let go, so he couldn't shake it off. Yueqing could only look at Wu Xi unhappily: "What does it mean that you talk as you speak, and you keep holding my hand and refusing to let go?"

"I'm afraid you'll run away."

At first, Yueqing didn't understand this sentence, but it wasn't until Wu Xi said her guess about the inkstone little by little that she suddenly realized.

Holding Yan deliberately left Bai Huan's life, in addition to taking advantage of the other party's aggravation of his illness to slowly rein in his rights, there is also the meaning of bait inside, which is meaningless, Feng Changqi is the fish that was caught.

Yueqing immediately couldn't sit still: "Then isn't she very dangerous!"

As he spoke, he was about to break free of Wu Xi's hand and walk in a certain direction, but he was pulled by Wu Xi.

Wu Xi looked aggrieved: "It's too late for you to chase after it now, and you don't know where the entrance to the secret passage is, I'm afraid you can only stare at the completely unfamiliar environment in a daze if you follow." Instead of going along, it's better to wait where you are with me, Feng Changqi and the other one will definitely come back here. ”

Yue Qing glared at him viciously, and turned his face away with a cold snort.

Later, how Wu Xi coaxed Yueqing will not be mentioned for the time being, but it is said that Feng Changqi and Qingxiu, at this time, the two have just come to the entrance of the secret passage.

Unlike the underground entrance imagined by Feng Changqi, the entrance to this secret passage is actually set in an inconspicuous cave. On the surface, this cave is tightly covered by vines, and the vines are luxuriant, so I didn't know that there was a cave here beforehand, I'm afraid no one would deliberately stare at this place, and Feng Changqi also knew that it was wrong through Qingxiu's reminder.

The two of them pushed aside the overlapping vines, and when they walked into the cave, Feng Changqi was still puzzled: "Where did this secret passage come from, why I have never heard Ah Niang talk about the secret passage before, if there is a chance in the future, I must investigate it carefully."

Qingxiu, who was leading the way in front, suddenly let out an exclamation.

Feng Changqi hurriedly stepped forward: "What happened?"

Qingxiu turned her face and hurriedly explained: "Your Highness, it's okay, it's just that the slave maid saw a small insect just now and was scared, thank you Your Highness for your concern!"

It is also very common for women to be afraid of small insects, even Feng Changqi, sometimes she will be frightened when she suddenly sees small insects, so she just smiled and did not continue to ask questions on this topic, but followed Qingxiu's gaze. I saw that under the light of the torches, as far as the eye could see, a dark secret passage gradually extended into the darkness.

"This is the secret passage of the same palace?"

Qingxiu nodded vigorously: "The slave maid came out of here, please come with the slave maid."

She took the lead and walked down the steps, slowly walking forward by the light of the torches, and Feng Changqi took the opportunity to observe the secret passage. This secret passage has obviously not been walked on for many years, and there are only one person's footprints on the moss-covered ground, which I think were left by Qingxiu when he walked before. Nowadays, the footprints are not very obvious.

The two walked along the secret passage, and after walking for long, they came to a fork in the road. Feng Changqi was surprised: "This secret passage, is it possible that in addition to leading to the palace, there is also a road to other places!"

Qingxiu responded: "There are more than two, there are two roads in front of me that I don't know where they lead, the slave maid followed His Majesty's guidance all the way, and did not take other roads halfway."

Feng Changqi glanced in the direction of the other fork in the road, and then turned his gaze.

There is more than one path in the secret passage, and according to Qingxiu, there are even several more in front of it...... It is impossible for the secret passage to have this scale, and after seeing A-Niang later, if you are free, you must ask A-Niang the reason.

Because Qingxiu had walked on this road before, the two of them didn't encounter any episodes on the road, and if you ignore the little bugs that came out because of the surprise, they can be said to have walked very smoothly along the way.

Halfway through the road, Feng Changqi suddenly began to wonder about Qingxiu's life experience.

"Qingxiu, your age should not be much different from me, right?"

Qingxiu didn't reply and said, "The slave maid is the same age as His Highness, but she was born a month or two earlier."

Feng Changqi rolled his eyes: "Then you ...... with A-Niang"

"Your Majesty saved the lives of slaves and maids." It can be seen that Qingxiu is very grateful to Bai Huan, and every time she talks about Bai Huan, she is a little excited, "When the slave and maid were harmed by the war and the family was destroyed, it was His Majesty who saved the slave and maid's life and brought the slave back to the palace...... If it weren't for Your Majesty's mercy, I'm afraid the slave would have turned into a dry skeleton on the side of the road. This life was saved by His Majesty, and naturally it is His Majesty's, if necessary, the slave can also give up his life! ”

With such a temperament, it is no wonder that Bai Huan will set her as her henchman when she is not very old.

"It's just ahead!" Qingxiu cheered, pointed to the faint light in front of him and said, "The other entrance of the secret passage is in the study of His Majesty's palace, and the study is not used on weekdays, and no one is usually there, just go out." When they go out, the slave maid will go to explore the way first, and if there is no abnormality, they will come to find His Highness. ”

Qingxiu has done this for their mother and daughter, Feng Changqi naturally trusts them all, and they can't come to this point and doubt each other's loyalty!

Feng Changqi said gratefully: "There is Sister Lao Qingxiu."

"It's okay, Your Highness, wait a minute!" After that, Qingxiu took the lead in walking out of the secret passage, and then relied on his familiarity with the palace to quietly touch the door.

Perhaps because God was also moved by Feng Changqi's sincerity, it was afternoon when they walked into the secret passage, and when they came out again, it was already dark. I don't know what's going on in the palace, there are not too many lights, and the whole palace looks very gloomy.

In the eyes of others, I am afraid that this kind of atmosphere will feel terrifying, or eerie or something, but in the eyes of Qingxiu at this time, it is a wonderful environment, so that you can go to Bai Huan's bedroom without being noticed!

Qingxiu was about to go back to inform Feng Changqi of the situation outside, when she suddenly heard two passing maids talking.

"Your Majesty's illness is getting worse every day...... Seeing that autumn is coming, I'm afraid Your Majesty won't be able to hold on anymore......"

"Phew, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense!"

The reprimanded maid was very aggrieved: "But what I said is all the truth, you serve by Your Majesty's side all day long, and you can't see it." Alas, since the little Shunzi who beat the Qin Heavenly Prison died in the palace, His Majesty has become more and more unable to hold on, but thinking about it, it is normal for such a bloody scene to be unbearable......"

The voice gradually faded away, and only one Qingxiu was left stunned.

Qin Tianjian's little shunzi, isn't that the little insider who reported to him before? Unexpectedly, after only leaving for so many days, he had already been murdered, and he was still in front of Bai Huan, who was seriously ill! Bai Huan is so sick that it is not easy to barely support it...... The initiator of all this is to hold the inkstone, if it can, Qingxiu really wants to break the body of the person who holds the inkstone!

She gritted her teeth and calmed down a little before turning around and walking back, at this time, Feng Changqi was waiting for her arrival.

As soon as he heard the voice, Feng Changqi poked his head out: "Sister Qingxiu, how is the situation outside?"

A pale smile appeared on the corner of Qingxiu's lips: "There is no one in the palace, and there are very few guards, so it is estimated that they are guarded outside the palace, so be careful not to touch people."

"That's good!"

Although Feng Changqi noticed the change in Qingxiu's mood, he didn't ask much. At this time, she was all focused on Bai Huan alone, and she really couldn't think about other things, so she could only ignore the past for the time being.

The situation outside was just as Qingxiu said, and the two of them didn't see any figures when they walked through the corridor, and the huge palace was surprisingly quiet.

The two of them relied on their memories all the way to the window of the dormitory, and looked through the crack in the window to observe the situation inside, and happily, there was no one to guard it! Only Bai Huan was lying on the bed alone!

This scene fell in Feng Changqi's eyes, which made her mixed joy, happy because there was no guard, they could act more conveniently, and sad because of this. Bai Huan is so sick, according to rumors, it is no different from the rest of the breath, everyone is like this, there is not even a caretaker on his side, such negligence, there has never been a palace change before!

Feng Changqi's eyes were moist, and he quietly turned over the window with his strength.

Qingxiu stood outside the window: "Your Highness is talking inside, the slave is guarding outside the hall!"

Feng Changqi shook his head in opposition and motioned for her to come in too: "Who else will come here in the middle of the night?" You can come in too, you are A-Niang's henchman, naturally credible. We don't have to shy away from each other. ”

Qingxiu's eyes were hot, and she almost burst into tears: "Thank you Your Highness for your trust!"

Qingxiu also followed into the dormitory, but she still insisted on standing at the door and not going to the bedside, in order to stay vigilant, and if she found something wrong, she would flee as soon as possible.

And Feng Changqi walked to the bedside, and saw Bai Huan's skinny and haggard face, and the tears that had been rolling in her eyes finally couldn't help but fall down, falling on the back of Bai Huan's hand.

The hot touch of tears woke up the person who was sleeping groggily, and Bai Huan slowly opened his eyes: "Who is in the room?"
