Holding the candle, Tianci walked slowly in front and led the way. He looked at the stone walls around him curiously, "I didn't expect that there is such a secret passage in the palace leading to the outside. Jiu'er, how did you discover it?"
"One time, I was playing hide-and-seek with the eunuchs, and we accidentally discovered it when we hid under the bed!" Jiu'er said calmly, as if he didn't mind sharing these secrets with Leng Ning and Tianci, "Follow the secret passage all the way out, which is Yingyue.
lake!"
The secret passage was too narrow to allow two people to walk side by side, so Leng Ning took out his arm and dagger from his sleeve, but did not dare to relax and followed behind him, keeping the tip of the dagger at his back.
"Both of my hands have been dislocated by you, are you still worried?!" As he walked forward behind Tianci, Jiuer did not forget to joke with Leng Ning behind him.
He was not worried about anyone hearing him, and Leng Ning didn't bother to stop him. He just followed him quietly and was not distracted by his words.
Seeing that she didn't respond, Jiuer simply turned to Tianci and said, "I said Tianci. You know I'm pretending to be stupid. Are you not surprised at all?!"
"Why are you surprised?" Tianci turned around and smiled narrowly, his dark eyes shining with wisdom in the candlelight, "I have long thought you were faking it!"
"Why?!" Jiu'er asked with interest.
Tianci wrinkled his nose, with a hint of contempt in his tone, "Because you like my mother more. When I was in Lijia Village, boys liked to play with boys, and only men liked to play with women!"
Jiu'er also wrinkled his nose and nodded thoughtfully, "That's it!"
Tianci continued to turn around and move forward, not forgetting to ask him curiously, "Since Jiuer, you are not stupid, why are you pretending to be stupid?!"
Jiuer laughed loudly, "Because stupid people are blessed with stupid things. As a child, you don't have to get involved in the adult world and can live a more relaxed life!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Leng Ning snorted coldly, obviously not agreeing with his answer.
"I think differently from you!" Tianci held a candle and turned the corner in front, "I hope I will grow up quickly so that I can protect my mother properly!"
Jiuer was stunned when he heard this, then turned to look at Leng Ning behind him, "You have a good son!"
"You don't need to remind me!" Leng Ning rolled her eyes at him lightly, "My son, of course I know!"
