21. King An
"What? Is this a difficult choice?"
Que Jinyu looked at Yun Qingzhi's fidgeting appearance, and thought it was her choice that put Yun Qingzhi in a dilemma.
"We don't have much time. When someone comes to find you later, you won't have a choice."
Que Jinyu put the cup back, covered her mouth and nose again, and reminded her kindly.
"Come with me."
Yun Qingzhi gave Que Jinyu a vague look. She couldn't just watch something happen to him, even if they were just strangers now.
Yun Qingzhi introduced Que Jinyu into the place where she practiced calligraphy. She saw Yun Qingzhi tapping somewhere on the desk a few times. A wall in the room made a "rumbling" sound. Que Jinyu looked towards the sound.
At that place, the walls were slowly rising, and what was visible was a dark tunnel.
"Go by yourself. There are unlit torches inside. Keep going forward. It will take about half an hour to reach the end. There is a ladder there. Climb up the ladder and push the partition above to get out.
"
Yun Qingzhi knew that it was difficult for her to explain why she was so nice to a stranger, so she simply didn't explain it.
After telling Que Jinyu how to go, he was ready to leave.
"Believe it or not, I told you how to leave anyway. If you don't leave, don't blame me if you get caught."
Que Jinyu had no idea about this secret passage. After all, he had heard about it a long time ago. There was a secret passage in the Jin Palace, but no one had ever seen it, so no one had seen this rumor.
Today is just a coincidence.
But the most important thing is that this daughter of Prince Jin's Palace seems to be a very interesting person.
At the beginning, the other party was very wary of her. When she saw his face, she looked very shocked, as if she had seen him before.
But now he is disguised, and his appearance is completely different from his original appearance. There is no similarity at all. If Yun Qingzhi has seen his other identity, he would not be surprised.
But in disguise, no one knows who he is except his close confidants.
Yun Qingzhi is just a young lady from an aristocratic family who was raised in a boudoir. How did she get to know him after he changed his appearance?
Moreover, he seemed to have noticed the change in Yun Qingzhi's attitude towards him after she showed her face. When Yun Qingzhi brought him to the secret passage, she gave him an annoyed look.
This kind of natural closeness seems to be like being a good friend to someone for many years, which is really strange.
Before leaving, Que Jinyu looked back at the direction Yun Qingzhi left. Although he knew that it was impossible for the person to come back, he still couldn't help but look back.
Next time we meet, I wonder if I can see another side of Miss Yun?
With such expectations, Que Jinyu walked into the secret passage, and the door of the secret passage slowly lowered until it returned to its original appearance.
Except for Yun Qingzhi and Que Jinyu, no one else knew that outsiders had been here before.
After Yun Qingzhi sent Que Jinyu away, she turned around and opened the door.
Xiang'er and Yuan'er, who had been waiting outside the door, breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Yun Qingzhi opening the door.
Xiang'er looked at Yun Qingzhi without any trace, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with her, she withdrew her hidden gaze.
"Miss, you scared me to death. Why were you so silent just now? I thought something had happened to you."
Yuan'er didn't notice Xiang'er's actions, and said anxiously and worriedly when she saw Yun Qingzhi.
"I'm fine, I just didn't hear you just now."
It was naturally impossible for Yun Qingzhi to tell the truth to Yuan'er, so she blurted out the matter with a smile.
"Have the people from Prince An's Mansion searched this place soon?"
"The search is almost done. We just found the prince's yard. We should be heading this way now."
Xiang'er spoke, and as soon as he finished speaking, people from Prince An's Mansion arrived.
"Everyone is here, that's good. It will also be convenient for us to search."
When Prince An saw Yun Qingzhi and her maid standing together and talking, he didn't hold back on anything and just said it carelessly.
"I don't know if Prince An searched our Jin Prince's Mansion, but there is a search warrant from His Majesty? If not, I don't know what Prince An means by doing this? Don't you think you have gone too far?"
Yun Qingzhi did not have the slightest fondness for Prince An. He, like her family, were military generals. Judging from their appearance, their family was a Confucian general.
Although they are military commanders, they are all handsome and graceful, except of course her second brother, who is tall, mighty, and handsome.
As for Prince An, he is the type of reckless man. He is not very old, but has a full face of beard. He looks arrogant but a little more naive.
Of course, if you are fooled by his appearance, you will lose.
Does the other party belong to the type that looks honest but is shrewd inside? He is also petty, very vengeful, ruthless, and will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals.
"Hey, girl Qingzhi, you can't say that. I lost something important in my house. Now someone sees the thief running into your house. If I don't come in and search, I won't be able to find the things by then. Do you think I should
Should I blame that nasty thief, or should I blame you?"
King An's seemingly cheerful explanation was actually a hidden threat.
If Yun Qingzhi dares to stop him, the two houses will become enemies by then.
"I wonder what the important thing that Prince An is talking about is? You haven't explained anything clearly, how do we know what you are looking for?"
Yun Qingzhi was not timid and replied directly, "Who knows if the important thing you mentioned is really particularly important? It can be a piece of paper, a piece of cloth, or even a stone. After all, although things are ordinary, if they are given
If it has different meanings, its worth will be different.”
"You said that if you came to search our Prince Jin's Mansion for such a trivial thing, how would His Majesty react if he found out about it?"
"That's what Qingzhi said."
King Jin stood up to support Yun Qingzhi. Originally, he was being harassed by King An, and he was asked to enter the palace to search for peace.
Who knew that the other party would not let him go in the end and even went to search his daughter's room.
Is a woman's boudoir a place that can be entered and exited casually? What will happen if this spreads out?
Moreover, the people who came to search were all men. If one or two of them had some evil intentions and randomly picked up any important personal belongings during the search, they would not be able to escape even if they jumped into the Yellow River.
"Prince An and I both joined the court as officials, and our official positions are of the same rank. There is no saying that you are superior to me. Letting you enter the palace to search is just for the sake of you and me. We also joined the court as officials. King An
