Chapter 191 The Secret Path
Under the plum grove, Ruan Yuyi stood with a graceful and slender figure, and the petals fluttered down on her shoulders, embellished with bright colors.Xuan Rao didn't dare to look directly for fear of offending her.

His eyes fell on her gold-woven skirt, and he asked tentatively, "Ma'am, is this—"

Naturally, she would not express her thoughts outside, she only said that His Majesty was resting and allowed her to walk around freely, and did not want to come to the edge of the forest.This can't be considered a nonsense.

He hesitated for a while, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, please don't go forward. I just saw a few guards over there, and they seem to be from the palace. It's better to go in the opposite direction."

She understood, "Thank you for your advice."

He really wouldn't have allowed her to walk around so easily, presumably the vicinity of the forest was already full of his people.She looked sleepy, but she never thought about how Xuan Rao in front of her would get in if there were people everywhere.

She had long since lost interest in admiring the plum blossoms, so she said goodbye to Xuan Rao, and went back to look for the carriage from which she had come.

On the way back, she just realized how far she and Mu Xiang had come.Following the memory and returning to the original place, the carriage was still parked at the same place, the wind blew, and the curtains fluttered slightly.

Everything is as it was when we left.

Walking back and forth, her body became quite hot, so she handed the sleeve stove to Mu Xiang, stood there for a while, and then walked towards that place.

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

She was a little guilty, and took a closer look, but before she could see the words on it, she asked, "What are you looking at, Your Majesty?" Xu Shi's body became hot, and the smell of incense powder permeated her body.

He only felt that the words on it shook a few times.He casually put the scroll aside, took a look at her, and said lightly, "It's been a long way? Your face is so red."

In fact, he didn't fall asleep at first, from the two calls she called him to the whispered instructions with Wen Zhi, he heard everything clearly.Although there are people outside, there are only a few here and there.

If she really wants to avoid it, it's not difficult to avoid it.

He let her go on purpose, just to see how far she would go.If she is really told to run away, that's fine, let her play outside the palace for two days, then go and bring her back.

He knew that Li Meiren's matter might have some influence on her, so he created a chance for her to get out of the palace.It's just that she came back only half an hour later, which was really beyond his expectation.

He straightened her crooked plum blossoms on her temples.He suddenly felt that it was difficult to discern what she was thinking.

She parted the thin straps of the cloak with her fingertips, letting it slide off and pile up behind her.She casually said familiarly, "I was so excited, I didn't pay attention to the distance, and when I came back to my senses, it 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 a game with her, "Then what to do, there is still a way to go later." He dragged his tone, and sent each word into her ear.

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

The carriage was not sent back immediately, but sent them all the way to the depths of the forest.Along the way, Ruan Yuyi raised a corner of the curtain to look out in boredom, but found that the arrangement of plum trees along the way was a bit strange, as if they had deliberately made way.

After getting out of the carriage, I saw a hut in front of me.White walls and black tiles, moss clinging to the corners, and a water tank in front of the house, there are traces of people living everywhere.

She followed Jiang Huaiyang to the side.

Wen Zhi knocked on the door twice, and footsteps could be heard faintly inside.After a while, the wooden door was creaked open, and it was Master Ruokong from Shenghe Temple who came out.

He looked up at the two of them, twirled the Buddha string and said in a low voice "Amitabha", and turned sideways to motion for several people to enter.

There is not much space inside, and it can be seen at a glance.Two cups of tea and a small table are all the things that can be brought out to entertain guests.Ruokong didn't feel embarrassed by this, and his expression was always very peaceful.

He gestured for the two to sit down.

Seeing the suspicious look on Ruan Yuyi's face, Ruokong seemed to guess what she was thinking, and said with a smile, "The poor monk lives here all year round, and only occasionally goes to live in the temple."

The pilgrims in the temple came and went, which easily disturbed his practice.

She froze for a moment and nodded slightly.

Jiang Huaiyang's face was hidden in the darkness, "So, you may have said it?" With Ruokong's prestige among the people, even he deserves three points of respect.

If there is a strange rule in the space, all relevant parties must be present before they can see each other.Last time he came alone, so he got nothing.

Since Qiu Lie was haunted by the nightmare of her death at that time, he had also taken medicine, but it still didn't work, and her face covered in blood still occasionally appeared in his dreams.After Imperial Physician Ning raised his mouth, he remembered Ruokong.

Although he didn't believe these false claims, but after thinking about it, wasn't the dream itself strange?Then it was time to meet people.

Ruokong didn't answer immediately, instead he closed his eyes leisurely and mumbled something vaguely.No one interrupted him, and after a while, he opened his eyes again.

"The donor just needs to follow his heart."

Heart?What is the original heart?Is it the mistake of rescuing 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 twirled the jade bracelet on her wrist.The jade bracelet has double rings, each of which is no bigger than a woman's little finger, and when it is moved, there will be a crisp sound.

When there was a movement, her plain fingertips froze, she let go, and stopped playing with it.

He thought for a moment, but he didn't know how many thoughts were in his mind, which were intertwined.He let out a long breath, nodded slightly to Ruokong, and stood up to make a speech.

It's just that he didn't go to the main entrance, but went straight to the courtyard, but Ruokong didn't stop him.

The courtyard is not big, and the layout is simple. The plum trees outside extend their branches in, which has a special charm.

"I remember that Lingling has a very good memory." He said suddenly, paused for a moment, and then said, "You have to remember the way back to the palace."

She had a strange feeling in her heart and asked, "Aren't we going back to the palace by car?" It's not too far from the palace, but it's still a long way.

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

The brick that was supposed to be solid was pushed down a bit.She took a closer look and noticed that there was a shell embedded in the brick, most of which was embedded in the brick, only a white spot about the size of a fingernail was exposed.

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

He said in a deep voice, "The secret way of the imperial palace." This secret way should have been passed down from generation to generation to the monarchs of all dynasties, but it was accidentally made him know when he was young. After he ascended the throne, he really found the secret way in Qianqing Palace map.

This is the most secret underground vein of the palace, like a dragon entrenched in the ground, it is one of the sharp swords used by the monarch to control the power.

And one of the exits of this secret path is set here to cover up the residence of the Buddhist master.Only in this way can it be ensured that no one will find it here.

Hearing this, Ruan Yuyi's heart skipped a beat.
