Chapter 908 The most dangerous place is the safest
As soon as Xiao Muting came out of the tunnel of the wine shop, he saw Su Han waiting there.
He reached out and pulled her into his arms, hugging her tightly, and then he felt at ease.
People around me smiled knowingly when they saw this scene.
After Qi Wei glanced at this place, he asked Yun Shi: "Why are there just you and where are the others?"
"Jiang Bin and Yang Fan have already gone up and are staying there. Yang Chun and Tong Jiang are guarding the tunnel ahead, preparing to meet Prince Baoqing and His Highness Prince Yi." Yun Shi pointed forward and backward.
Su Han patted Xiao Muting's back, raised his head and leaned into his ear and said, "I feel relieved to see you safe. The matter is not over yet. We'd better hurry up. Xia Huan must be in the palace."
There are arrangements, the gates of the capital city and the palace gates opened too smoothly, and the internal response is accurate. Don't go too late, because you really won't be able to make him plead guilty by then."
"Well! Then go in first, deal with these two brats and the ambitious person in the family, and then let him properly admit his crime." Xiao Muting said this, but the arms holding him never relaxed.
Strength.
Su Han originally wanted to push him away, but she didn't. She said coquettishly: "You should let him go."
"Don't let go!" Xiao Muting replied confidently.
"Why?" Su Han was confused by his decisive answer.
"Do you know how worried and regretful I am this time? Although I also know that there are many people around you and can be protected, and watching the signals coming one by one, I know that your progress is going well, but I am worried, you can understand
Do you feel this way..." Xiao Muting said in a muffled voice with a hint of vibrato.
Su Han winked and blinked for a long time, then leaned into his ear and asked in a voice that could only be heard by the two of them: "Are you acting coquettishly with me?"
"No?" Xiao Muting asked, rubbing her neck.
"Okay! But it's best to go home and act coquettishly. Now we have to do business first." Su Han waved his hand again and gently touched his head.
Xiao Muting straightened up and looked at her, and said seriously: "You are not allowed to go back on what you said."
"I, Su Han, always stick to my word and will never go back on my word." Su Han proudly held his neck and patted his chest as a guarantee.
Xiao Muting raised her eyebrows with satisfaction and held her hand tightly: "Then go and finish this matter immediately, so that we can go home early."
He greeted the people who were sensible enough to avoid them, and together they walked towards the tunnel exit.
Walking out of the tunnel, standing in the Fengyi Palace that was most familiar in the past, Xiao Muting felt indescribably sad when he saw that the courtyard had been changed beyond recognition and turned into a deserted palace.
He pointed to the courtyard that was already covered with moss and weeds and said to Su Han beside him: "This is where my mother lived back then. Yan'er and I were born and grew up here. At that time, this place was not the only place in the palace.
It is the liveliest place in the courtyard. Yan'er's laughter will resound in the courtyard, and the concubine will sit in the chair on the corridor of the main hall, watching her jumping and playing... I
Every time I come back here, I feel particularly warm, but since my mother-in-law... left, I haven't dared to step foot here again. I was not allowed in before, but then he let me in, but I don't have any courage..."
Su Han hugged his arm tightly and stroked it gently to show her comfort. She said softly: "I think my mother-in-law will not blame you. She knows her son too well."
She is so outstanding, and she also understands how heavy a blow she and her father are to you. She also knows that you have never forgotten them, and firmly believe that you will avenge them."
Xiao Muting took a deep breath, lowered his head and smiled softly at her. The two of them turned around together and looked into the side room and the tunnel they came out of, and couldn't help but chuckle.
"The father and mother are the real great wisdom!" Xiao Muting said with tears in his eyes.
"Yes! It is definitely not a coincidence that this secret map appeared in the Puyang clan ten years ago. The person who sent the map back must have received some instructions. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?
It fell into our hands and led us into this heavily guarded palace so smoothly, but if you look carefully, the entrance to this tunnel is not hidden." Su Han nodded.
After Xiao Muting grinned slightly, his eyes suddenly became sharp again. He turned back to look at the main hall of Fengyi Palace, held Su Han's hand tightly, and strode towards there.
"What's wrong?" Su Han was pulled by him and followed him at a trot.
"There must be something left behind. Even if they look for it carefully, they may not be able to find it. Otherwise, he would not let me live until now and use such self-deception to kill me. He would have sent an army to surround me to death. He
You don’t understand your father very well, let alone my mother and concubine!” Xiao Muting exuded a strong aura.
When he walked to the door of the main hall, he saw the rusty door lock on the door, and the corner of his mouth curled up coldly: "You see, it's just sealed up, so he doesn't dare to set foot here."
Su Han originally wanted to open the lock, but Xiao Muting grabbed her and pulled her behind him. He kicked her over and the door, which had been in disrepair for a long time, opened with a sound.
All the layout in the entire palace is very neat. Although there are signs of being turned over, it was a one-time search at that time. No one came back after that. This also confirmed Xiao Muting's previous guess that the late queen passed away.
After that, no one really came here anymore.
But Su Han felt it was a bit impossible. Xiao Muyun would even kill his own father for that position, and the queen was just his aunt, not his biological mother. How could he let her go so leniently, unless there was a possibility...
"The queen mother did not die here at that time!" Su Han raised his head and looked at Xiao Muting.
He nodded: "I also heard those people mention that after learning that the father died, the mother-in-law rushed into the Yangxin Palace and followed the father there..."
Su Han nodded understandingly: "This place looks neat, but it has obviously been disturbed. Is the thing you care about still there?"
"Here! Look!" Xiao Muting nodded firmly and pointed to the bed in the master bedroom behind the screen that had been pushed out of position.
"What?" Su Han stretched out his head to look, but apart from the objects there, there was a beautifully carved painting bed. Even the bed curtains had changed color due to age and were already falling down.
"The three paintings hanging on the inside of the bed were painted by my father, Yan'er and I respectively. My mother and concubine liked it very much. They framed them and hung them on the bed wall. She said that as long as you look at the paintings,
, it’s like seeing the three of us, they are still there." Xiao Muting said with tears in his eyes again.
"In the painting, or behind the painting?" Su Han immediately understood and asked him.
"In the painting! It's the fat peony painting painted by Yan'er!" Xiao Muting said with a slightly trembling voice.
Su Han immediately stepped forward, jumped on the bed, took down the painting, handed it back to him, and took down the other two paintings.
Xiao Muting turned around in front of the table, put the framed painting away, took out the dagger from the boot, and slightly opened the seal of the painting. After peeling it off, there was indeed a piece of bright yellow silk inside.
But it’s half a picture!
Su Han immediately looked at the two paintings in his hands and understood in his heart.
She couldn't help but sigh: "The most dangerous place is the safest place. It's dark under the lamp! Xiao Muyun probably never thought until his death that the thing he had always wanted to get would be hidden right under his nose!"
