Chapter 683 To Find The Secret Path (1)

 Walking in the secret passage, the surroundings are surprisingly quiet, and even each other's heartbeats can be heard.

"Xi'er, you go back, we don't know what's inside this secret path, we have to be careful." Qing Chengze naturally put Lan Ruoxi first, he is a man, he must rush to the front in everything, It is a man's duty to protect his own woman.

Lan Ruoxi didn't refuse, now is not the time to be hypocritical, if there is less hesitation, there will be a glimmer of hope.So she readily stood behind, groping forward behind Qing Chengze.Lan Ruoxi estimated the distance before coming. The straight-line distance from the west gate to Qianqing Palace is about two kilometers. If they walk at this speed, it will take half an hour.Because I am not familiar with the secret road, it is impossible to go as fast as on the road, so this speed should be considered fast.

After a while, Lan Ruoxi felt that it was almost in the middle, so she patted Qing Chengze on the shoulder, signaling him to stop.

"Xi'er, what's the matter? Did you find anything?"

Lan Ruoxi shook her head and said: "This secret path should lead to the Buddhist hall. I imagine that there must be something different near the Buddhist hall. So we have to be careful."

In fact, what Lan Ruoxi was worried about was that she would meet the Empress Dowager on the way. The Empress Dowager had been hiding in the Buddhist hall all along, and she must have run out from the secret path to collude with people outside.If she just came back or went out at this time, I really don't know what to do then.

Qing Chengze said: "I know, you should also be careful behind."

What Lan Ruoxi thought of was actually Qing Chengze also thought of it, but he didn't say it.This secret passage gave him a great shock, he never knew there was such a place in the palace.On the other hand, it was also a blow to him that the Empress Dowager actually colluded with the remnants of the previous dynasty and wanted to rebel.No matter what, he respectfully called the empress dowager the emperor's grandmother. Such an approach really chilled him.

"Let's go." Lan Ruoxi gently pulled Qing Chengze's clothes, and told him that she would be there whenever he turned around.

After four years of separation, the two of them missed too much, and Lan Ruoxi also matured a lot.Now she will not be as willful and reckless as before.

Sensing Lan Ruoxi's presence, Qing Chengze's restless heart calmed down a bit.No matter what happens in the future, it is enough for him to know that he still has her.

 The two of them groped forward all the way, and the journey they walked was very frightening.Finally, when they saw that they were going to the end, the two breathed a sigh of relief.

Before she got close to Lan Ruoxi, she smelled the scent of incense paper, and this smell also made her sure that the exit was indeed in the Buddhist hall.It seemed that all her guesses were correct. The Empress Dowager had known for a long time that there was a secret passage in the palace. In order to deceive others, she asked Qing Chengze to build the Buddhist hall in order to provide convenience for her.Think about her, an old man in her 60s, who still makes such a fuss at any time, why is this necessary?

 Both of them stopped in their tracks, and they knew where it was just by smelling it.Qing Chengze's face became more and more ugly. In fact, before he came here, he was still hoping that their guess was wrong.But now it seems that all the speculations have become reality, which is really cruel.
