Chapter 393: Where is the Secret Path?
Xue Jinyi showed a well-behaved expression, "Okay, I won't work hungry." ”
After speaking, she picked up the rice bowl and devoured it.
Pu Yangxuan couldn't cry or laugh, and finished breakfast as quickly as possible.
After going to see the movements of the guards again, Xue Jinyi and Pu Yangxuan conducted a carpet search in the yard, the two of them first gently pulled and pressed the inch by inch of turf in the yard to see if there were abnormal depressions, or there was a stone slab door hidden underneath, from this end of the courtyard, they slowly searched the other chrysanthemum bush, and the time had actually come to noon.
The sound of chains clashing outside the door sounded again, and the two immediately pretended to be playing, and the maid came in and saw that her cheeks were slightly red.
"King Chu, princess, the slave has brought your lunch." She shouted with some embarrassment.
The two stopped chasing and turned back.
"I'm sorry for you, let's put it in the house." Xue Jinyi looked like she hadn't made enough trouble.
The maid followed the words, put the food box into the house, put away the dishes and chopsticks for breakfast, and when she came out of the house, she saw the king of Chu and the princess of Chu whispering by the chrysanthemum bush, and she didn't know what the king of Chu said, and the princess of Chu covered half of her face shyly.
The maid was entangled for a moment, plucked up her courage, and asked in a loud voice: "King Chu, princess, what do you want to eat for dinner, you can just ask." ”
Xue Jinyi pointed to the chrysanthemum bush and asked, "I see that these chrysanthemums are blooming very well, can they be used to make me dinner?" ”
The maid was stunned, what does Chrysanthemum do for dinner?
"Yes." The one who answered them was the guard at the door, "Everything here is at the disposal of the king and princess of Chu." ”
"Okay, you bring me a live fish, I'll cook and eat it myself." Xue Jinyi said, there is also a small stove in this courtyard, with pots and pans, "In addition, the seasonings and firewood are all prepared for me." ”
The maid replied, "Yes, princess, the slave will be sent later." ”
"No, Shen Shizhong will send it over again, it will not be fresh if it is sent early, and it will not taste good." Xue Jinyi didn't want the courtyard door to suddenly open while they were searching the secret passage.
"Yes." The maid had no objections.
"Go ahead." Before Xue Jinyi closed the door, she glanced at the path outside.
The fallen leaves on the ground are still uncleaned, which is not normal in the palace of the prince of Tangtang, but it is very common in the palace of the king of Chu in the past.
"I'm under house arrest, but I have to have some fun, right?" She explained: "It seems that I haven't made anything delicious except for brown sugar ginger soup, but this time I have a chance." ”
Pu Yangxuan said: "Whatever you do is delicious." ”
It's the truth.
Xue Jinyi beckoned, "Then let's pick some white chrysanthemums while taking a look in the chrysanthemum bush." ”
"Okay."
As Xue Jinyi said, house arrest is house arrest, but you can't treat yourself badly, let depression, anger and other negative emotions surround you, but you have to be happy in the bitterness, so that life can be interesting.
While picking white chrysanthemums, the two carefully inspected the chrysanthemum bushes, but found no trace of the secret passage.
Xue Jinyi coldly remembered the TV series she had watched before, and said, "Could it be in the stove?" ”
The two ran into the stove, opened the big iron pot, removed the firewood and soot in the stove, looked carefully and again, but still did not find the secret passage.
But since they had all come to the stove, the two searched other places, inside and outside the water tank, rice tank, inside and outside the cupboard, and then pulled a piece of bacon hanging from the beam.
The dark passage still didn't appear in front of them.
Xue Jinyi was not discouraged, "Let's eat first, there are still many places to continue to look for when you are full and strong." ”
Pu Yangxuan looked at his energetic wife, and her face was full of smiles and doting on her face covered by the bright sunshine.
On the other side, the maid came to the warm flower room, and King Feng was sitting in front of a clump of white gardenias, taking a deep breath of the fragrance of gardenias, and his face looked intoxicated.
The maid tiptoed behind him, bowed and said, "The slave has sent lunch to the king and princess of Chu." ”
"What are they doing?" King Feng didn't open his eyes and asked softly.
The maid told King Feng what she had seen.
"Fun?!" Feng Wang Huo Ran opened his eyes, and when he turned his upper body suddenly, his raised sleeves almost overturned the gardenia pot.
Chang Li hurriedly stepped forward to protect the flower pot, and asked the maid, "Can you see clearly, are they playing around, or do they want to escape over the wall?" ”
The maid was startled, and replied in a trembling voice, "The slave is absolutely not mistaken, she is laughing and playing." ”
King Feng sneered: "Yesterday, he swore that he had the ability to deal with the peace negotiations and solve the troubles of the frontier. ”
The maid bowed her head and remained silent.
Chang Li sighed: "After all, they are all children, besides, His Royal Highness the King of Chu has been uncared for since he was a child, and he has a wild temperament, and now he finally has some real power in his hands, but he can't lift his tail to the sky?" What about you here, and you entertain them with delicious food and drink, so naturally you will be relaxed, what kind of heavy responsibility, anyway, your cousin uncle will clean it up, right? ”
"Humph!" King Feng snorted heavily in his nose, but he regretted it when he finished humming.
He rubbed his aching nose vigorously, looking helpless.
Chang Li said: "His Royal Highness King Feng, don't be angry, go back and let the princess and them properly handle the peace and major affairs, isn't it okay?" Finally, the king of Chu, he can do whatever he likes, and he can't endanger the diplomatic relations between the Great Zhou and the Suo State. ”
"Hmph, it's a shame that the Puyang clan has produced such a waste!" King Feng thought for a while and ordered: "Isn't it that Princess Chu wants to make her own food, then you can just send them rice, flour, oil, and raw vegetables and meat, and let them make their own." After they got the holy decree and set off for Liangzhou, they let them go, and they went wherever they loved. ”
"Yes." Chang Li hooked the corners of his lips and looked at the anger in King Feng's eyes.
His Royal Highness King Feng made it clear that he wanted the prince to make great contributions this time, so that he could get an important official position in the capital, and slapped the face of the Great Zhou Emperor fiercely, so that the emperor knew how incompetent his descendants were.
However, the king of Chu is surnamed Puyang, so His Royal Highness King Feng will still be angry because of his lack of learning and skills.
Chang Li thought for a while, and then said: "By the way, His Royal Highness King Feng, there is one more thing, there seem to be some unknown people around King Feng's mansion, and the lower officials guess that it should be the secret guard who followed the King of Chu, should they be disposed of?" ”
"No, you don't." King Feng shook his head, "The bloody qi has affected me to smell the flowers, let them go." ”
The corners of Chang Li's mouth twitched a few times, I don't know who ordered all kinds of strange mechanisms to be arranged in the mansion, if someone touched it by mistake and died, wouldn't it also let the bloody gas pollute the fragrance of flowers?
He shook his head secretly, this His Royal Highness King Feng's temper is really like a child sometimes, which is unpredictable.
