Li Bing was a little surprised to see Ximen Hao suddenly appear in front of him, but his face was calm and he maintained his usual composure, "I wonder what the prince has to do with his humble position?"
"Is Su Ran's painting in the hands of the emperor?" Ximen Hao's sharp eyes seemed to be able to penetrate Li Bing.
"Why did the prince say this?" Li Bing asked calmly.
Ximen Hao smiled coldly, "Su Ranhua disappeared in the palace. If it's not with King Nan, it's only the emperor. The other concubines and princesses in the harem don't have that means."
Li Bing looked at the smile on Ximen Hao's face and felt that there was something missing compared to the Bei Wang he had seen, but he couldn't tell what it was.
But the King of the North was still the King of the North, and his thoughts were not influenced by the emperor, and he soon suspected the emperor of the whereabouts of Su Ranhua.
"Your Majesty, please come with me." Li Bing said and walked away first.
Ximen Hao followed, and the two quietly shuttled through the night in the palace, and soon stopped by a rockery in the imperial garden.
Li Bing pulled a stone on the rockery, and an entrance creaked beneath the rockery.
Li Bing took Ximen Hao from that entrance into a secret passage.
"This is a secret passage built secretly by the emperor, leading directly to the bottom of Jinyang Palace." Li Bing explained.
"Why didn't I know when the emperor built it?" Ximen Hao asked doubtfully. Ever since he had the ability to pay attention to the movements in the palace, he had not discovered that Ximen Xianchu had built this secret passage. In other words,
This secret passage was built before, but has been useless since then? Otherwise, he would not know some information.
"It was a long time ago. I only knew about the existence of this secret passage in my humble position. I haven't used it in nearly ten years," Li Bing said.
"Li Huwei is really the emperor's personal bodyguard. He knows such confidential things. I wonder how many things Li Huwei knows that I haven't found out yet?" Ximen Hao said.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to ask Beizhi. He knows what to do when encountering problems." Li Bing said expressionlessly, "Just like Beizhi will take him to find the princess without hesitation when he sees the prince."
"If Li Weiwei is so determined, why doesn't he directly deliver the news to the Northern Palace?" Ximen Hao asked in return.
"In your humble position, you must first obey the emperor's orders. Only if you try to help the prince without disobeying the holy will, please forgive me." Li Bing said, opening many traps along the way, and brought Ximen Hao to the entrance of a secret room. "The princess was then
Locked inside, after the prince took away the princess, the subordinates would arrange the road to look like the prince broke in. It was the prince who was wise and discovered this secret room and rescued the princess."
"Wei Li is interested." Ximen Yi smiled.
Another smile made Li Bing feel strange, and he stared at Ximen Hao carefully.
"What's wrong? Guard Li." Ximen Hao asked with raised eyebrows.
"Nothing." Li Wei shook his head, touched the mechanism on the wall, and opened the secret room.
"Woman?" Ximen Hao rushed to Su Ranhua. Looking at the torch on the wall lit by Li Bing outside the secret room, he could clearly see Su Ranhua fainting on the ground with a pale face. Her lips and body
It was covered in dark blood stains.
When Ximen Hao picked up Su Ranhua and was about to leave, Li Bing blocked the door of the secret room and stared at him closely, "You are not King Bei."
"Who am I if I'm not King Bei?" Ximen Hao raised his eyebrows and hugged Su Ranhua tightly.
"You are very similar to King Bei, but you are not King Bei." Li Bing stared at Ximen Hao and said with certainty. When he rushed into the secret room and called Su Ranhua "woman", that tone should definitely not belong to Ximen Hao.
Hao, this is why he always feels that there is something missing about Ximen Hao. After careful observation, there are no traces of disguise on his face, so he is a person who looks very similar to Ximen Hao.
, enough to pass the fake as the real thing. Or is this person's disguise skills beyond what he knows?
"Li Bing, what's the point of what you said now?" Ximen Hao sneered and looked up at the top of the secret room, "Do you want the emperor above to see that you personally brought me here?
"
"No, you can take the person away." Li Bing stepped aside and stood aside, "It doesn't matter who comes to take Princess Bei out of here, as long as she can borrow someone's help to get out of danger, the rest is up to me.
Itβs irrelevant.β
Ximen Hao glanced at Li Bing lightly, hugged the unconscious Su Ranhua and left quickly.
Li Bing waited for Ximen Hao to leave for a moment before walking out of the secret passage. He turned back and destroyed the mechanism on the rockery, revealing half of the entrance to the secret passage and a dark hole.
"Who took Su Ranhua away?" Ximen Xianchu was awakened by Li Bing overnight, saying that someone had discovered the entrance to the secret passage in the secret room, and had taken Su Ranhua away.
"I don't know," Li Bing said. "To prevent accidents, I didn't alert anyone. I struggled with that person alone, but I still let that person escape."
Ximen Xianchu knew that Li Bing had no reason to alert outsiders. Originally, only he and Li Bing knew about trapping Su Ranhua in the secret room. For the sake of strictness, he did not even alert other close guards. If others saw Su Ranhua,
After being taken out of the secret room of Jinyang Palace, I had to explain something to the outside world.
What's more, what no one can know are the things scattered in the secret room, which are the secrets of Ximen Xianchu's preparations to deal with Su Ranhua.
"Is Su Ranhua still alive?" Ximen Xianchu asked.
"It should be." Li Bing said, otherwise the person pretending to be Ximen Hao would have acted strangely when he encountered Su Ranhua.
"That means she has already absorbed those things." Ximen Xianchu nodded. It seemed that God wanted to keep her alive for his use.
"Yes." Li Bing said, "Based on the time calculation, although I didn't wait until dawn and opened the secret room in advance, the time was enough to absorb it. It's just that my subordinates were incompetent. I wonder who took away the princess?"
"Isn't King Bei been looking for you?" Ximen Xianchu said disapprovingly, "It doesn't matter who takes him away. As long as King Bei keeps looking, he will return to King Bei's Mansion sooner or later. It won't be too late for me to see Su Ranhua again.
.β
"Isn't the emperor worried about the origin of that person? It is really dangerous to be able to enter and exit the palace, and my subordinates will do their best to investigate." Li Bing said.
"It should be the man in black that Su Ranhua said." Ximen Xianchu said without thinking, "If what Su Ranhua said is true, then it was that man who took her away again this time. Pay attention to the North Prince's Mansion.
The King of the North also clings to that person. I think everything he does is for the King of the North. Although his abilities are incredible, until something happens to the King of the North, he will not endanger me. Maybe it will be his turn.
Before he could take action against me, King Bei would have already dealt with him."
The man in black? Li Bing didn't expect that Ximen Xianchu immediately associated that person with the man in black. Could it be that the man pretending to be King Bei was the man in black that Bei Wang's palace had been looking for?
