"..." Lu Zhaozhao.

Hiding in the sky is impossible, but hiding underground is somewhat possible!

The next day.

After breakfast, Lu Zhaozhao and Zhao Ziyun wandered around Zhuangzi as if they were digesting food.

The two maids behind him followed unhurriedly.

When the guards saw their figures, not only did they not stop them, but they bowed their heads respectfully.

"Mom! The sunshine is nice today. Qing'er will help you walk more!" Lu Zhaozhao supported her and slowly wandered around the village.

Zhao Ziyun patted her hand lightly and seemed to sigh: "Seeing that the New Year will be here in more than a month, I wonder how your grandfather and grandmother are doing?"

"Don't worry, mother! My grandfather and grandmother have always been in good health. I believe it won't be long before we can go back to see them!" Lu Zhaozhao said with relief.

"Hopefully!" Zhao Ziyun sighed.

While the two chatted, they walked around the village. After this circle, except for the servant's room, which had its door wide open, all the other rooms had their doors closed.

But above each room, there is a plaque marking the items stored inside.

For example, warehouses, weapons depots, etc. are all written on the plaque.

Lu Zhaozhao made an excuse and wanted to go in and take a look to see if there was anything suitable for her eyes. The housekeeper not only did not stop her, but also opened the door readily and let her in to see.

Lu Zhaozhao pretended to look here and there, and finally walked out empty-handed.

After looking at several rooms in a row, Lu Zhaozhao finally picked a small brown-red sign and held it up to Zhao Ziyun like a treasure.

"Mother! Look at this agate, there is a lifelike pony!"

"Qing'er likes it?" Zhao Ziyun asked with a motherly smile.

Lu Zhaozhao nodded, and then hesitantly said: "It must be extremely rare for a pony to form naturally on agate!"

"If you like it, miss, just accept it. I'll just tell the prince later!" The housekeeper smiled and said at the right time.

Lu Zhaozhao was a little happy: "Is it okay?"

"My lord, please tell me that whatever the young lady and madam like, you can withdraw it at will!" said the steward.

When Lu Zhaozhao heard this, he shook Zhao Ziyun's arm with joy: "Mother! I didn't expect that we are so important in my father's heart!"

"Silly boy! He is your father, so he naturally has you in his heart!" Zhao Ziyun said with a doting look on his face.

Lu Zhaozhao's eyebrows curled up with a smile: "Mom! We've been shopping for so long, are you tired? Qing'er will accompany you back to your room to rest!"

"Okay!" Zhao Ziyun responded with a chuckle, letting her support her and walking towards the side room.

A quarter of an hour later...

Lu Zhaozhao opened the door and said to the maids behind him: "Wait outside the door!"

"Yes!" the maids responded.

Lu Zhaozhao helped Zhao Ziyun enter the wing and closed the door.

The moment the door closed, Zhao Ziyun took back the arm she was supporting.

"If you support me like this for a few more days, I'm afraid I'm really going to be in bad shape!" Zhao Ziyun complained in a low voice. "I can't help it, who made you my mother now! Of course I have to be filial to you!" Lu Zhaozhao said with a joking smile.

"..." Zhao Ziyun.

In fact, there is no need to!

Lu Zhaozhao glanced around and did not see Dugu Fan and Dugu Wei. He walked towards the screen suspiciously and saw the two of them enjoying tea.

"..." Lu Zhaozhao.

Can we say that they are quite leisurely and contented?

There is no consciousness of being in the enemy's lair!

"How is it?" Dugufan asked in a low voice.

"Nothing was found!" Lu Zhaozhao pulled up a chair and sat down next to him: "Except for the servants' rooms, this Zhuangzi has a total of twelve rooms. Excluding the study, Liu Qing'er lives in this wing. Apart from the wing room, there are nine other rooms. Just now, I went to the warehouse, the armory and three other rooms on the pretext of looking for interesting items, but I didn't find anything special. I was afraid to continue to check other rooms. , it will arouse unnecessary suspicion, so I came back first!"

"After giving birth to four rooms, we will check again when they hand over the baby!" Dugufan said.

"Okay!" Lu Zhaozhao nodded, and then the conversation suddenly changed: "But according to the housekeeper, Liu Qing'er and her daughter can enter all the rooms in the Zhuangzi at will. I don't know if King Chu believes it too much. Their mother Are the two women loyal to him? Or does he feel that the mother and daughter can't discover it at all, something he doesn't want to show to others? "

"It should be the latter!" Dugu Fan said.

"I also think it's the latter!" Dugu Wei echoed: "How could an old fox like King Chu, who has a deep city and is so scheming, so easily spread his wealth and life on a pair of people he hadn't seen for more than ten years? In front of the mother and daughter, even if they have a relationship with him that is constantly cutting and turbulent, it is absolutely impossible!"

"Yes!" Lu Zhaozhao nodded: "But if the mother and daughter can enter and exit these rooms at will, does that mean there is nothing suspicious about these rooms?"

"It's also possible that the secret door is extremely secretive. King Chu is absolutely confident that they can't find it!" Dugu Fan opened his thin lips and added.

"..." Lu Zhaozhao.

Fine!

The possibility of the latter is still very high!

"It's almost noon. King Chu will come to Zhuangzi in about an hour. How do you plan to deal with it?" Dugufan asked.

When Lu Zhaozhao heard this, he immediately looked at Zhao Ziyun: "How about you continue to pretend to be sick?"

"I've just been walking around the village with you all morning. Isn't it inappropriate to continue pretending to be sick?" Zhao Ziyun asked.

Lu Zhaozhao smiled slyly: "When we were visiting Zhuangzi, didn't we mention our grandfather and grandmother? We said to the outside world that now that the new year is approaching, you are beginning to miss your grandfather and grandmother. After all, this is where you have been since you were a child. It’s the first time I’m so far away from them and I’ve been away from them for so long!!”

"I think this is a good excuse!" Dugu Wei immediately agreed.

He didn't want his wife to have an affair with the King of Chu!

Zhao Ziyun glanced at him coldly: "Once or twice is fine. If you pretend more times, how can you deceive him?"

"But I am afraid that he will do anything to you!" Dugu Wei said a little aggrieved.

"..." Lu Zhaozhao.

She was more afraid of Princess Wei than using her hands and feet. She lost control and pulled out a knife, trying to kill King Chu!

How could Dugu Fan not see what she was thinking? He coughed lightly and smoothed things over: "Sister-in-law of the Fifth Emperor can pretend to be sick for one more day and deal with King Chu first. As for tomorrow, let's talk about tomorrow!"

"Yes!" Dugu Wei and Lu Zhaozhao nodded in unison.

"..." Zhao Ziyun.

Why did she think that they were less likely to worry about her and more likely to be afraid that she would lose control of her temper and kill the King of Chu with a knife?
