Chapter 55: The Prime Minister's Secret
At night, the wind blew, the leaves swished, and the insects outside the house came and went, making the night darker and deeper. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Yan Xiao saw that Shen Mo was already asleep, pulled the thin quilt that she had slid down, walked to the lamp, picked up the lampshade, blew out the candle, and walked out softly to bring the door.
The hazy moonlight sprinkled on the ground in front of the bed through the freshly pasted paper window, and Shen Mo opened his eyes violently, and his penetrating gaze seemed to be a fine gem soaked in the deep pool. She slowly reached under the pillow and took out a wooden hairpin. Mu Hai's appearance is very simple, it is the stuff of her body. Today, during the day of Lanyuan and her party, she found almost nothing. I just guessed that Aunt Xin should not be dead, but no one knew her whereabouts. Aunt Lan didn't even suspect her identity as the third lady at all! However, it is no wonder, after all, she was the concubine of Aunt Xin for Shen Qingping, and she entered the mansion after her. But why did Aunt Xin take a concubine for Shen Qingping? You must know that her concubine for Shen Qingping and Zhao Ruya for Shen Qingping are different. Because she is a concubine herself, she herself is criticized for excluding the main room. No stupid person will cause trouble for himself. Then the only reason that makes sense is that she doesn't want to be favored by Shen Qingping, so she wants to take a concubine for him to distract him from herself. And this just explains why she is not Shen Qingping's biological daughter.
"No clues." Shen Mo muttered to himself. She guessed that Shen Qingping didn't know where Aunt Xin had gone. Otherwise, he wouldn't have to come to see her again and again, and miss this daughter who just looks like her mother. But just because he doesn't know where Aunt Xin has gone doesn't necessarily mean that he doesn't know why Aunt Xin disappeared back then. In other words, there are many explanations for Aunt Xin's disappearance, and Shen Qingping is inextricably linked to this matter. She picked up the wooden hairpin and shook it at the moonlight. Why don't you try your luck! She got up and got dressed, carefully avoided the guards all the way, and came to the door of Shen Qingping's study. She looked at the sky outside, and her eyes sparkled. The moon is dark and the wind is high, when you see things and think about people! She walked through the corridor and came to the window, just as Shen Qingping thought it was too hot in the house, so she opened the window to ventilate. She crouched under the window and cautiously poked her head out to look into the study.
However, Shen Qingping did not look at things and think about people as she thought, but was looking at something very seriously. After a while, he took out the letter paper, put pen to paper, and wrote quickly. I was writing a letter! However, looking at his expression, he seems to be very nervous, not as cautious as usual, but mixed with a series of complex emotions such as tangled and respectful. Shen Mo's eyes sank, Shen Qingping is the prime minister of a country, one person is above ten thousand people, there are really not many people who can make him show such emotions in the southern country, even if it is the prince, he will not! Could it be that this Shen Qingping has some secrets? If she used this secret to exchange her heart for the truth of her aunt's disappearance, Shen Qingping must still be willing! This makes the task much easier! She saw that Shen Qingping was almost finished, so she squatted down and put her ear against the wall. In a few moments, she saw a white dove fly over her head. She held her breath and minimized her sense of existence, because she, the prime minister's father, didn't know what she was feeling, and she didn't leave for a long time after releasing the white dove, but stood in front of the window and enjoyed the moonlight. There was no way, Shen Mo had to stay honestly. If it weren't for the slight noise she made when she climbed to the roof, for fear of alarming Shen Qingping, she wouldn't have been as passive as she is now. It just so happens that it is already summer, and there are a lot of mosquitoes at night, so this itchy feeling is really uncomfortable!
Finally, after countless shouts and scolding from the bottom of Shen Mo's heart, Shen Qingping left the window. Shen Mo put his ear against the wall and heard the sound of the mechanism opening and closing. She waited a moment before slowly peeking her eyes out of the window. The study room is empty! I didn't expect that there was a secret hidden in this small study! Shen Mo climbed onto the roof in a strange way, as far as she knew, the sound insulation effect of the secret room was generally good, and her slight noise would not alarm the people in the secret room. She lifted a tile on the top of the desk, and sure enough, she saw that the letter that had just been placed on the desk by Shen Qingping was gone. Was it taken to the secret room? She chose a comfortable position to stay on it with peace of mind, waiting for Shen Qingping to come out. It didn't take long for Shen Qingping to come out. He cleaned up the things on his desk, walked over to the lamp, blew out the candle, and closed the door to the room.
It wasn't until he walked away that Shen Mo turned over, patted the dust on his clothes, and jumped through the window. She looked around in the moonlight. When she used to be an agent, her night vision was particularly good, but fortunately, the original owner's eyesight was even better than hers! Just now, she didn't see where the mechanism was in order to dodge, but it didn't bother her. Could the secret chambers of the ancients be more powerful than the modern ones? Soon she found the mechanism, she pulled out a book from the shelf, and the shelf moved away of its own accord. She looked at the entrance of the secret room and frowned, it was so dark! There was not a glimmer of light in it, and no matter how good her vision was, it was impossible to see without light at all. She stepped back for a moment and looked around again. She can't light the light directly in the room, but if she enters the secret room, the door will automatically close, and she won't be able to see anything. There must be some other way, I didn't see him take the lamp when Shen Qingping went in just now! At this moment, she unconsciously skimmed to the middle of the upper layer of the bookshelf and placed a small wooden box. She picked up the wooden box and opened a crack, and immediately a glimmer of light came through. This is the Pearl of the Night!
Shen Mo took the box and walked into the secret room, and when the door of the secret room was tight, the wooden box was opened, and the night pearl instantly emitted a circle of bright light, and he could just vaguely see the scene in the secret room.
I didn't expect Shen Qingping to be so careful, she was a thief and didn't dare to light candles. But he, the owner of the secret room, didn't dare to light a candle for fear of being discovered by others, and he used this faint night pearl to shine just right!
The chamber was small, and it was filled with only a few boxes. The chests didn't look unusual, they were ordinary, but the wooden box on one of them caught her attention. Because it is the only and very clean box here, it must be due to the owner's frequent opening. Shen Mo stepped forward and opened the wooden box, which contained only a thick pile of letters. She opened them and examined them one by one, at first confused, then surprised, and finally slowly regained her composure. She hooked her lips and smiled, she could be regarded as finding his handle Shen Qingping, but she changed her mind! She used this secret to exchange the truth about Shen Qingping's disappearance of her aunt back then, which would not only attract Shen Qingping's suspicion and even threats, but Shen Qingping might not be able to tell her a complete answer. Wouldn't she be at a loss! She Shen Mo won't do it at a loss!
Shen Mo quickly restored the wooden box to its original appearance, and just about to leave, he heard the sound of the mechanism opening. Not good! He's back!
