Ximen Hao's eyes were extremely penetrating, as if he wanted to see through Li Bing's thoughts.
Li Bing kept a dull expression and said with cupped hands, "I also want to appease the princess. I believe that as long as the prince is here, I will be able to find the princess."
"Yes, I must find Su Ranhua, and I will not hesitate to anger my father." Ximen Hao's cold eyes stared into the endless night.
This time, he asked for an imperial edict to thoroughly investigate the palace. Although the emperor agreed readily on the surface, in fact, a strong invisible conflict arose between him and the emperor. Because his unscrupulous suspicion was on the emperor's head, which was extremely serious.
disrespectful and flamboyant.
However, the desire to find Su Ranhua overshadowed all taboos. Ximen Hao knew that Ximen Xianchu had issued the edict so readily. If he was not really upright, it would only mean that Su Ranhua was no longer in the palace, but he
I believe that as long as the search is thorough, clues will be found.
"Oh, brother Huang is quick to act and has already obtained the imperial edict." After Ximen Yi arranged for his people to search for Su Ran's paintings, he also entered the palace that night.
"My princess is gone, so I am naturally very concerned." Ximen Hao glanced at Ximen Yi, guessing his purpose of entering the palace.
"If the emperor really cared, the emperor's wife would not have been brought into the palace by me?" Ximen Yi walked up to Ximen Hao and whispered, with a slight smile on his lips.
"We will talk about the previous matter after I find someone." Ximen Hao gave Ximen Yi a cold look.
"Brother Emperor, let's make a bet." Ximen Yi smiled.
"What do you want to bet on?" Ximen Hao asked.
"Let's see who among us finds the emperor's sister-in-law first." Ximen Yi glanced at the imperial edict in Ximen Hao's hand, "You have the imperial edict, and I will help, how about that?"
"Do you know the weight of this imperial edict?" Ximen Hao raised the edict and asked.
"Isn't it just that I have offended the emperor? The emperor is not afraid, and naturally I am not afraid either. As long as the person can be found safely, I am willing to help. Anyway, the father also knows that it was me who brought the emperor's sister-in-law into the palace. The same will happen then.
It is inevitable to blame." Ximen Yi said.
"Aren't you brave enough?" Ximen Hao stared at Ximen Yi intently, raised his lips and sneered, "You don't have to ask Concubine Shu for instructions?"
At the mention of Concubine Shu, Ximen Yi stiffened slightly. He knew that Ximen Hao was deliberately exposing his shortcomings, but this time he deliberately avoided Concubine Shu and came to see Ximen Hao.
"Brother Imperial, I am not the younger brother of the Four Emperors, but I am also the Southern King with the same name as you." Ximen Yi's tone increased, and he stood tall and tall in front of Ximen Hao, facing him face to face.
"Okay, how do you want to bet?" Ximen Hao asked.
"If I find the emperor's wife first, the emperor will not interfere with my dealings with the emperor's wife in the future." Ximen Yi said.
"Are you taking advantage of this opportunity?" Ximen Hao didn't expect Ximen Yi to express his delusions about Su Ranhua so directly, and wanted to justify their secret dealings. He smiled coldly, "If you can be worthy of the world,
Your judgment is worthy of that of your father and concubine, so you might as well give it a try."
"Then let's try it!" Ximen Yi suppressed his charming smile, raised his hand gracefully, and ordered the people behind him, "Go to Princess Bei immediately. Whoever finds me first will be rewarded."
Therefore, in the originally silent night, the palace was extremely noisy.
"This child is really ignorant!" When Concubine Shu heard that Ximen Yi was following Ximen Hao to look for Su Ranhua, she raised her eyebrows angrily and asked Su Xin to dress quickly and hurriedly came to Jinyang Palace to meet the saint.
"I ask the emperor to recall King Nan." Concubine Shu begged Ximen to show his true ways.
"It's a good thing to find someone, why stop him?" Ximen Xianchu waved his hand and leaned on the couch calmly.
A Su Ranhua could actually make the two feuding kings of the north and south search the palace for her at the same time. It seemed that he was right to give her a string of support. Her role between them was extraordinary.
"Your Majesty!" Concubine Shu shouted anxiously. A thorough investigation of the palace is a search of the Emperor's territory. Unless there is something very urgent, this is absolutely not allowed. If it is to protect the Emperor's safety and search for people who are unfavorable to the Emperor, then it is fine.
At that time, they were doing things in a big way, pretending to include the emperor as a suspect. This was a crime against heaven!
It's fine if they find someone, but if they don't find someone and leave empty-handed, what awaits them will be a pleasant experience!
"If they have the guts, let them do it." Ximen Xianchu waved his hands. No thoughts could be seen on his calm face, but his words had a profound meaning.
"Li Wewei, why did this rockery collapse?" Ximen Hao came to the Imperial Garden and asked, looking at the collapsed rockery.
Li Bing knew clearly that he had collapsed the entire rockery in order to cover up the entrance to the secret passage that he had destroyed with his own hands.
"Maybe because it's been a long time, I just found someone to repair it after dawn," Li Bing said.
"This rockery looks very strange. Why don't you clear away the rocks and take a look?" Ximen Yi said and ordered people to move the rocks.
"Your Majesty, it's just a pile of rocks." Li Bing said.
"Take a look." Ximen Hao ignored Li Bing's words and asked his people to start cleaning up the rocks.
Soon, the rocks were cleared away, revealing a cave.
"Sure enough, there is another mystery." Ximen Yi jumped in first.
When the hole was exposed, Ximen Hao had already thought of some questions and followed Ximen Yi into the secret passage to prove the doubts in his mind.
"Where are we?" Following the secret passage, Ximen Yi and Ximen Hao walked into the secret room that had been opened long ago.
Ximen Hao turned around and looked at Li Bing, who was silent along the way, "Li Wei, don't you have anything to say?"
"Back to the prince, I really don't know the existence of this secret passage, but according to my judgment, this secret room should be under Jinyang Palace." Li Bingdao reminded them that the location they were in at this time was not trivial.
"That's right." Ximen Hao said, looking up at the ceiling of the secret room in the light of the fire.
When he investigated the plot to set up the Bai family, a group of people who might have known about it had never been found, and those people also visited Jinyang Palace a lot. It seemed that their mysterious disappearance had a lot to do with the secret room under Jinyang Palace.
The relationship. This is what Ximen Hao suddenly thought of when he saw the secret passage under the rockery.
"Jinyang Palace?" Ximen Yi naturally realized that their location at this time was unusual. However, he misunderstood what Ximen Hao meant when he said "right" and mistakenly thought that Ximen Hao was talking about the problem of Su Ran's paintings.
However, Ximen Hao was also wondering if the secret passage finally discovered would bring any clues when the entire palace was missing.
Knocking on the mountain to shock the tiger was the first method that Ximen Hao thought of. He decided to knock on the mountain of Jinyang Palace.
"Do you dare?" Ximen Hao looked at Ximen Yi and smiled meaningfully.
"I dare you if you dare." Ximen Yi raised his head and looked up. This time he would definitely not lose to Ximen Hao.
