The afternoon sun was warm. Yun Jingchu was on her way to the office to pick up clothes for Concubine Hui. She soon passed by a garden. Small white flowers bloomed on the precious camphor trees on both sides. The fragrance was fragrant. Jade railings were carved on both sides.
.
Yun Jing took a first look and suddenly saw a tall figure under a tree not far away. She originally wanted to take a detour, but she saw those peach blossom eyes staring at her for a moment.
Another damn courtesy, Yun Jingchu cursed in her heart and walked helplessly in the direction of Yu Wenxuan.
I saw Yu Wenxuan sitting lazily on the stone bench, wearing a purple brocade robe, and his eyebrows seemed to be a blend of fairy and demon. Looking at Yun Jingchu walking over, his eyes lit up, he smiled very elegantly, and asked
: "Jingchu, are you interested in playing chess with me?"
How could he be so leisurely and elegant that he let her play chess with him? Yun Jingchu frowned slightly, but she still answered simply: "Okay."
Yun Jingchu chose the red one out of habit, while Yu Wenxuan chose the black one, and the two soon sat opposite each other.
Yu Wenxuan raised his peach blossom eyes and said in a gentle tone: "Jingchu, let's play a bet. Whoever takes a piece of the other party can ask a question... No matter what kind of question it is, the other party must answer it.
,How about, do you dare to play?"
Yun Jingchu raised her head and met those peach blossom eyes that were no longer cynical. They were now as deep as a deep pool. The calculation in those eyes was still there, but they were very calm.
Although she knew the purpose of this fox, her chess skills had always been good, so she might not lose in this bet. After all, she also wanted to know things from him, so she agreed.
Suddenly, the only sounds in the entire garden were the two of them breathing lightly. There was no one in the garden and it was very quiet. When the first red diamond was eaten, Yu Wenxuan raised his eyes and looked at her, his handsome jade face stained with radiance.
With a look on her face, a slight smile appeared on her lips, and she asked her first question: "You are not an ordinary palace maid, are you?"
It is indeed an old fox. It seems to be a simple question, but the things contained in it are different. This is a definite guess. Thinking about it, Yun Jingchu still had a calm expression on his face, and said simply and simply: "
right."
After saying this, Yun Jingchu raised her hand and quickly put down the red zi with her thin hands. The black zi was eaten. She asked, "Has the prince still not forgotten his original ambition?"
Yu Wenxuan was startled, shocked by her question. He half-squinted his eyes and asked, "Why do you ask that?"
Yun Jingchu smiled slightly and said: "The prince has been carefully testing the slaves. Isn't this the best reason?"
Yu Wenxuan smiled instead of being angry, nodded and said, "Then how do you know my original ambition?"
"Like you, it's all guesswork." Yun Jingchu smiled and continued: "Your Majesty, let's ask the next question..."
Yu Wenxuan's peach blossom eyes showed admiration. It seemed that it would be easier to deal with this woman than to go through all the trouble. So, he asked directly: "Who are you?"
Yun Jingchu's hand holding the chess piece paused slightly in mid-air, slowly lowered her eyes, and said lightly: "This slave only belongs to me." In fact, she didn't know how to answer this question. If it were the previous Yun Jingchu, maybe she would
She can still be said to be Mu Bai's person, but for me now, she will only be her own person.
The breeze blew by, her hair fluttered slightly, her lowered eyelashes covered the expression in her eyes, her slender fingers drew a circle on the table, then her index finger moved a little to the table, and she immediately ate the sunspot, with a slight smile at the corner of her mouth. Lifting his head, he asked with a faint expression, "Is the prince ready now?"
A crisp voice sounded, but it did not enter Yu Wenxuan's ears at all. He was slightly stunned because of Yun Jingchu's action just now, and felt that his breathing was a little rapid. This picture instantly overlapped with the picture in his mind, and the hand in his hand The chess piece was held very tightly, how could this be possible? This action really resembled Shen Tianjiao's.
For a long time, Yu Wenxuan tried hard to suppress his emotions, and his eyes instantly cooled down. Yun Jingchu looked directly at him, intuiting that behind the sudden coldness in his eyes, there was another look that she had never seen before, deliberately not He didn't care, and suddenly smiled indifferently and said: "You don't have to answer this question, but you have to exchange it for something."
Yu Wenxuan looked at her in surprise, slowly put down the chess piece in his hand, stood up, looked up at the sky, took a deep breath, and said, "Tell me, what do you want?"
Yun Jingchu also put down the chess pieces. Yingying stood up, looked at Yu Wenxuan and said, "I want to know the secret passage in the palace."
During the battle for the throne, Yuwen Rui led troops to surround the entire imperial city in order to capture Yu Wenxuan alive and execute him on the spot in public. However, after entering the palace, Yu Wenxuan had already disappeared, also because In this way, no evidence of Yu Wenxuan and Hanlong's treason could be grasped, and in the end the matter was left undisturbed.
But she always remembered this incident. She had overheard the late emperor mentioning that there was a secret passage in the palace, so she guessed that Yu Wenxuan must have escaped through the secret passage.
Yu Wenxuan was startled, then slowly turned around, looking at the calm expression on the woman's face, inexplicably curious whether there really was a soul that he could never forget living in this body. He suddenly leaned down and touched her with his slender fingers. She looked into her eyes with her cool mouth and said softly: "Do you really want to know? Sometimes knowing may not be a good thing."
His eyes were cold and gentle, and his voice was as elegant as the sound of nature, as if it had magical power that no one could doubt. Yun Jing's heart trembled at first, but she quickly and clearly said: "Your Majesty, you are willing to admit defeat, aren't you?"
Yu Wenxuan looked at the stubbornness in her eyes, and he really felt like her. It was as if a thorn had been pierced into the apex of his heart unknowingly, and there was a slight pain. Without answering her question, he suddenly lowered his head and kissed her. Smooth forehead.
The afternoon sun was very warm, and the gentle breeze blew gently, ruffling their hair. Yun Jingchu was stunned, breathing heavily, and her heart was beating fast...
"Yes, there is indeed a secret passage in this palace." A different emotion flashed through Yuwenxuan's peach blossom eyes. He looked at her, and for some reason, he spoke out the secret that his father had only told him. But this secret was It may have been important before, but it has no value to him now.
"Your Majesty, can you tell me where my slave is?" Yun Jingchu immediately put back the strange emotions in her heart and said as calmly as possible.
"It's in the secret garden of the fourth emperor brother." Yu Wenxuan narrowed his peach blossom eyes and continued: "There is a dry well there that can lead directly to the outside of the palace."
Yun Jing thought for a moment at first, and couldn't help but said: "But the bottom of the well is obviously just mud?" She had gone there before and was very puzzled why there was a well here and she couldn't draw water, and she had to draw water from the well outside.
After careful study, I discovered that the well was entirely filled with mud.
"It seems like you don't quite believe it yet." Yu Wenxuan raised an evil smile at the corner of his mouth, looked at her and said, "I'd better show you, then you'll know what's going on."
As soon as he finished speaking, regardless of whether she agreed or not, he easily pulled her into his arms, his figure flashed quickly, and soon he arrived at Yu Wenyi's secret garden.
Because Yu Wenyi was still recuperating recently and was not in the garden, and Caining also went out to fetch water at this time, so the two of them quickly walked to the dry well, and Yu Wenxuan reluctantly released her and removed the cover.
The big stone at the mouth of the well.
When Yun Jing first looked at the bottom of the well, she heard the sound of frogs croaking at the bottom of the well. Before she could take a closer look, Yu Wenxuan hugged her and flew down from the well mouth.
"Ah!" Yun Jingchu, who had always been calm, couldn't help being frightened. She had no time to react. She could only hug his neck tightly and close her eyes. Is Yu Wenxuan crazy? If he fell like this, he would be shattered to pieces.
No.
After a while, the expected being thrown to pieces did not happen. Instead, Yu Wenxuan hugged her and rolled down a passage. After a few rolls, the two of them lay down in a dark secret passage.
"We're here, right here." Yu Wenxuan looked at Yun Jingchu above, his eyes sparkling, and a faint smile appeared on his lips, "But Xiao Jingchu, can you get up?"
Only then did Yun Jingchu realize that this posture was a little inelegant, and she quickly got up from him. It turned out that when the two of them rolled down the steep slope, he had been carefully protecting her in his arms. Now the two of them were lying on the narrow
In the secret passage, he is at the bottom and she is at the top.
A smile appeared at the corner of Yu Wenxuan's lips, he stood up slowly, sighed, and said slowly: "Jingchu, you make me feel like I will throw it away after using it. It's really hurtful."
The original awkward mood disappeared in an instant because of these words. It is true that the nature of a country is easy to change. Yun Jing suppressed her previous emotions and said in a calm tone: "Your Highness, please lead the way."
Yu Wenxuan did not continue to make fun of her at this time. He rarely showed a serious look and said: "This entrance is rather sloping. In order not to get stained by the mud, we can only come in this way. This secret passage leads directly to the palace. Now
You can crawl towards the front and have a look."
Yun Jingchu didn't say any more, and just got down and crawled forward, while Yu Wenxuan followed closely behind him. After crawling for a long time, Yun Jingchu was a little excited by the glimmer of light in front of him. Although it was covered by a big piece of
The stone blocked it, but she knew that was the exit.
"This is the north gate." Yu Wenxuan said, gesturing for her to step back. He slowly climbed to the front and pushed away the big stone with one palm. "There are often guards patrolling here, so you still have to be careful..."
Yun Jingchu nodded. In fact, she knew very well that there would be a lot of guards at the north gate, but they were indeed the weakest at midnight because the soldiers would take over once at that time.
At this time, Yun Jingchu was about to speak, but Yu Wenxuan suddenly covered her mouth. Suddenly, there was a burst of shouts and noisy footsteps above them, "I thought I heard a sound here just now, please search for me immediately."
