Chapter 586 Discovering the Secret Room
Chapter 586 Discovering the Secret Room
Although the two were joking, they also proved the serious situation at hand. It was as if they were in a wolf's den. Although the prince is very kind to them, there are many snobs in the palace who look down on you, and they look down on these two presumptuous girls.
But they can't be too shameless in front of the prince. Suddenly a retainer from the palace stood up and said. "Brother, what should you do if you continue to fail?"
Li Kaiyang saw that this man was very young. He stood up and crossed his arms to his chest, talking to himself. When the prince saw this man coming out, his eyebrows stood up and he seemed unhappy. However, this man was not afraid of the prince. It seemed that his status in the prince's palace was also very unusual. The prince did not say anything and watched Li Kaiyang's reaction with cold eyes.
Li Kaiyang also stood up and shook hands with him. He thought that I would not be able to succeed here? I'm not 100% sure whether it will succeed or not. What do you mean by asking me this? Since such a question was raised with no good intentions, Li Kaiyang felt a chill in his heart. If so many people supported him with enthusiasm, it would be okay for him to give it a try. Some people even questioned him. Asking such a question in person was a huge blow. It dampened Li Kaiyang's enthusiasm.
It's great that he has such courage. When questioned by others in person, his heart was shaken. Li Kaiyang has not spoken yet. Xiao Lan, who was next to him, interrupted and said, "This move may or may not succeed. If you ask us to guarantee it, we won't go. Do you think it will be easy to get to Futai? That's a risk." Life is in danger.”
Li Kaiyang said nothing, and the man seemed to have no intention of sparing him. Said with a sly smile. "What I mean is that if you can't succeed, you will definitely alert the enemy and damage the prince's spirit. What we need is to be sure before we can do such a thing. If you are not sure, you can't try it. Even if we don't do it properly, We cannot use such obscene methods to solve current urgent matters."
His words are definitely provocative. Li Kaiyang's eyes were red and angry. If he hadn't been in front of these people, he would have had an attack right away. But look at the eyes of the people around you. Many people still respect him very much. Li Kaiyang took a long breath before saying. "After this, I can't guarantee 100% success. Can you guarantee his success in everything you do? You have to do it even if it doesn't succeed. We have to try."
When Li Kaiyang said this, he also understood something in his heart. He made a huge mistake. Putting forward such opinions and suggestions, it must be said to the prince alone in a secret environment. In front of so many people People, will anyone betray themselves? If someone really betrays themselves and comes to the mansion, wouldn’t he become a lamb to be slaughtered? And please enter the urn, I have entered someone else's cage and I can't escape even if I want to.
He was really sweating for himself in his heart. After this person asked, it seemed that Li Kaiyang's prestige was dampened by a few words. He felt satisfied and picked up a glass of wine. "Okay then, I wish you immediate success." After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp. He was quite generous. Li Kaiyang was holding the glass of wine but couldn't stomach it. At this time, he was actually a little bit too hard to get off. I was very excited by this person. Its interest and courage were cut in half.
The prince noticed this and slapped the table and said. "Amu is too bold to say such words at this time. You have already planted hidden worries in Mr. Li's heart before he went out to fight. What is your intention?" When the prince became angry, Amu was so scared that Amu knelt on the ground tremblingly. . He did not forget to defend, "I am just worried about the prince, for fear that things will get worse. I raised the doubts in my heart for the sake of the prince."
The prince snorted without saying anything. He turned to Mr. Li and said, "Mr. Li, do it boldly. No matter whether it succeeds or not, we have to try. Even if we are not sure, we have to give it a try." Try, because there is no better way to solve the current predicament. Now I have no foundation and no one to help me. I have no military power on the island. In addition to the guard stationed in the mansion, a large number of people guard the island. All the officers and soldiers are mobilized by Wang Tiankai. So if you go to his house to stir things up this time, it is not a good way to make a big move. Just do it boldly, and I will fully support you. "
These few words from the prince were truly a stroke of genius, and they immediately lit up Li Kaiyang's heart. Li Kaiyang's face was filled with longing and hope. He once again expressed his stance: "I will die even if I do something for the prince. As long as you send me, I will take the risk."
An old retainer stood up and said, "Your Majesty, if Mr. Li wants to go, I have a way to get inside him."
The prince asked: "If you have any idea, tell me quickly." The man said: "I have a friend who is an accountant in his house. He said that he wants to find two boys recently. Follow him and deal with the things at hand. He asked me to help him recommend two people for some matters. The boy he wanted was naturally a teenager, and Young Master Li was in his thirties, so he was a bit old. However, I explained the situation to him and we will see if it can help. You can’t go in. If you can go in, you will be aboveboard and won’t arouse others’ suspicion.”
Li Kaiyang didn't understand what the boy did, so he asked the man carefully, and the man smiled and said. "The so-called boy is the book boy who pours tea next to him."
After hearing this, Li Kaiyang finally understood that even if he was a book boy, he was too old, which might be a bit inappropriate. Someone else stood up to help and said, "You don't have to worry about this. The book boy doesn't have to be young. Someone who is older can also do this."
The prince was a little puzzled. The gentleman who is in charge of the accounting in his house wants a book boy, which is too big. The recommender explained, "The account manager uses a book boy, mainly because the accounts are clearer, but he can't handle it by himself. He said he is a book boy." That is, a helper, just like a secretary next to you.”
The prince suddenly understood and said, "This is a good idea. You might as well give it a try and do it quickly."
Then he said to Mr. Li again. "Young Master Li, go ahead. If the contact is established, just follow the path he pointed out to you. I'll be waiting for your good news at the house." The recommender hurriedly contacted the accountant he mentioned. Although the two governments are in a state of confrontation, the family members below. There are also interactions with each other. They were not completely hostile, so it was common for them to make friends with people in the other party's house, and the prince didn't think it was strange.
Li Kaiyang led Xiangxiang and Gu Xueying, waiting for him to send back the message. Three days passed, and they ate, drank, and slept upstairs. But I couldn't wait for the news from that person. On this day, Xiaolan was wandering around this small building and opened a door that she had never been to before. After opening it, there were many musical instruments in the room, including pipa, huqin, guzheng, and many more that he couldn't even name. Some are hung on the wall and some are placed on the table. Some are placed neatly on a simple shelf. Xiaolan walked in and touched the furniture. It still feels high-end and luxurious.
Suddenly a calligraphy and painting came into her eyes. There is a poem written on it, "I have been awake all night listening to the flute. I rest and fall into the world together. I will not meet you in this life. My hair is white and my bones are not cold."
After Xiaolan finished reading, she couldn't help but take a winter vacation. This painting is facing a square pear wood table. There is a bamboo armchair placed on the inside of the square table. There must be people who often write poems and paintings here. There are pens and inkstones on the table. There is also a pen holder engraved with landscapes, and there are several volumes of calligraphy and paintings inserted into the painting tube next to it. A lantern hangs from a light stand. The lanterns are pasted with white sandpaper to give them a delicate appearance, the windows are very elegant with white sandpapers, and the lamp stands are made into the shape of a crane. Holding this lantern in his mouth. Xiaolan touched the table with her hand. There was dust on the table and there were traces of finger scratches on it, indicating that no one had cleaned it for a long time.
When you walk into this room, it has an indescribable warmth. A picture appeared in front of me. A very beautiful young lady was sitting on a bamboo chair. Flick slow twist. Playing a song. The music that haunted him and made him heartbroken. Suddenly someone spoke from behind, and a boy came in at some point. Xiaolan was shocked.
The boy quickly lowered his hands and bowed. "I'm sorry, girl, you are not allowed to enter this room casually."
Xiaolan asked the boy, "Why? Why can't I come in and take a look? Whose house was this? I saw it looked like a young lady's study." The boy said, "I didn't do anything here before. It is indeed a young lady's boudoir. When I came here on errands, the manager told me not to enter this room casually. He said that the lady used to play the piano here. These things were very dear to the prince, and he would sometimes push them away. This door is here to miss Miss, so everything here should be left untouched.”
Xiaolan became interested and asked him, "What kind of lady is she? Has she moved to another place?" The boy said, "I just heard that the lady was already dead when I came here. Xiaolan groaned when she heard it. The horn bell under the eaves outside was suddenly blown by the wind a few times. The tinkling sound was clear and sweet, but in this language atmosphere, it felt very strange. Just It was like someone was coming down from the sky and entering the house.
Xiaolan was very curious and asked: "How did your young lady pass away? I guess he was not very old, so why did he pass away?"
said the boy. "It has been more than ten years since she passed away. I had not come to the house at that time. He was already in his twenties when he died. I think he is thirty or forty years old now."
Xiaolan looked at the environment and the furnishings. It looks like it was cleaned regularly, otherwise it would still be as new as ever after more than ten years. It was absolutely impossible. He knew there must be some story behind it, so he asked the boy: "What else do you know?" The boy shook his head and said, "I know too little. I only know that the prince likes this daughter very much." .His death is a heavy blow to the prince."
Xiaolan asked again: "Is that beautiful building next to the prince's second lady?" The man looked through the window from a distance. On the path not far away, he shook his head and said, "There is indeed a young lady there, but she is not the prince's biological flesh and blood."
Xiaolan snorted, and the boy said, "Most people don't know about this, and I heard about it by chance. Ever since I lost this young lady, the master has been very unhappy and depressed every day, and he himself He is old and can no longer have children. Although he still has a son, the king also likes daughters, so he adopted a daughter. She is now seventeen or eighty years old and she looks slim and graceful. Over the years, I I have never seen the young lady in person, but I heard she is a peerless beauty."
Xiaolan looked at the beautiful building and felt quite curious. He really wanted to have some fun upstairs in the show opposite her. Her character was just restless, and unless something happened, she would always feel like something was missing. But what interested him most was not the living young lady, but why did this young lady die? The boy frowned and said, "I just heard that when the young lady was playing in the garden, a bird suddenly fell from the air. The young lady ran over and saw that the bird had an arrow stuck in it. , someone shot it down with an arrow, and he was very surprised who could be so bold as to go to the garden of the palace to shoot birds. At this moment, someone climbed over the wall and entered, and a young man came in. As soon as he saw the young lady, His appearance was immediately enchanted. He knelt down and prayed for the lady to return the bird to him. The lady was very angry and said, "You are so bold, you actually want to go to the garden to shoot the bird." "
The man knelt on the ground and kowtowed and said, "I didn't want to either, but this bird is so cunning. I followed him for three days and three nights, from our village to here. I finally found the right opportunity to kill it." I shot it down, but I thought of disturbing the lady."
"The lady saw that the poor bird was dead and of no use as a medicinal material, so she threw the bird with arrows in front of the man and said, "Take it away." I just don’t understand, a good life has been wasted by you like this, what use do you want this bird for? Isn't it just to eat its meat? "
The man shook his head and sighed, "I don't want to eat its meat. The main reason is that my mother is sick. She needs the meat of a bird to make medicine. It's this kind of bird. The man used his hand to Pointing to the bird on the ground, he said, "This bird is called the Black Diamond. People nicknamed him Black Swan. This bird is extremely rare. Me too, I managed to ejaculate one. "
The young lady thought she was quite filial. The anger was greatly reduced. The lady was afraid that others would see a grown man coming to her garden, which would be bad for her reputation, so she quickly urged him: "You should take the bird and leave quickly. Don't stay here any longer. Otherwise, my lady's innocence will be ruined." You ruined it.”
After a pause, he continued: "At this moment, suddenly a patrolling sentry in the palace came over. The boys were so frightened that they wanted to find a hiding place. The young lady looked around and felt that there was nothing. At the right place, I pulled him into this beautiful building. This is not something that others can come in easily. The prince would behead him if he knew it. Why did the lady allow him to hide? It was because the lady was compassionate and knew that he If you are discovered by the guards or these patrolling officers and soldiers, the consequences will be disastrous."
