Chapter 157 What are you doing?
Rumbling--

Inside the deep tunnel, the sound of the earth shaking and the mountains shaking can be heard far away.

With Benben in his left hand and the Empress Dowager in his right hand, Ye Jingtang ran with all his strength for more than ten feet, and the collapsed bricks and stones behind him stopped, and the roar in the tunnel quickly subsided.

From the explosion of the wall to the collapse of the tunnel, it was just a thought. Under the huge changes, the two women couldn't figure out what happened, but they tensed their bodies full of surprise.

At this time, the light of Huozhezi also appeared in front of him, and the middle-aged court lady carrying an official knife came towards him.

The secret guard Yang Lan followed in, just to guard against Ye Jingtang's conspiracy. He really didn't expect such a terrifying fight to break out in the tunnel that had been closed for 200 years. He asked in astonishment:
"what happened?"

Ye Jingtang didn't stop, and handed the empress dowager directly into Yang Lan's arms:
"There was an ambush on the other side of the tunnel, and the tunnel was collapsed. Get out quickly."

The empress dowager kept her eyes tightly closed, and when she heard the voice, she realized that she was not dead, and quickly hugged Yang Lan's neck.

Dongfang Liren suppressed the shock on his face when he heard the voice, and looked back:
"Who's there?"

"I don't know, but the martial arts are extremely high, and the techniques are so ingenious that they can be called impeccable, but the stamina is insufficient. I have never seen it before."

Ye Jingtang hugged Dongfang Liren while speaking, and looked down:

"How is your injury?"

Dongfang Liren didn't pay attention to other things at first, but when she heard this, she realized that her legs hurt a little. She hugged Ye Jingtang's neck and said calmly:
"It was rubbed by gravel, it's okay."

The four of them ran quickly, and after running for a while, they came to the stone room in the middle.

Yang Lan entered the large room with the empress dowager in her arms, and found that the door-sealing stone had been knocked down, and her footsteps stopped abruptly, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that the exit was blocked, Dongfang Liren was also startled, but when he looked carefully, he found that Ye Jingtang had put stone blocks under it in advance, and the way he looked at Ye Jingtang changed.

Ye Jingtang put Dongfang Liren down, fetched the Huozhe, and squatted down to look at it. He was sure that the vibration was too strong just now, which caused the door-sealing stone to fall.

The door-sealing stone was three feet wide, and was held up by the stone pier, which directly cracked the stone pier, but there was still a gap of about two feet, and it was barely possible to climb out.

Ye Jingtang thought for a while, and then prepared to sneak in to check.

But Dongfang Liren saw that Ye Jingtang was about to dive into the Wanjun Boulder, so he quickly pulled him back:
"Come back. This stone is probably tens of thousands of catties. If it falls, you will be cut in half on the spot. Don't take risks."

Ye Jingtang looked at the cracks on the ground, although he felt that the risk was not great, but there were indeed. King Jing and the Empress Dowager moved slowly, not daring to let them get through, so he opened his mouth and said:

"I'll go over to see the situation first, and ask someone to remove the door-sealing stone."

"and many more."

Yang Lan is the small commander of the hidden guards, and his martial arts skills are very high, but he thinks he is not sure how to smash the tunnel of more than ten meters in two strokes.

Originally, she followed behind to prevent Ye Jingtang from being brave enough to eat everything, but judging from the short fight just now, Ye Jingtang really wanted to eat everything, and it is estimated that even her half-old mistress had to deal with the problem together Neither is very big.

Yang Lan knew that her martial arts skills were not as good as Ye Jingtang, and if the strong enemy from the other end of the tunnel came, she would find it difficult to stop her, so she put down the empress dowager, turned around and passed under the doorway:

"You are here to protect the two highnesses, I will call someone over."

Seeing this, Ye Jingtang didn't follow him anymore, he raised his eyes and looked up, and after confirming that the structure of the stone chamber was extremely solid, he turned his head to look at the situation of the two of them.

Dongfang Liren was wearing a silver fat-headed dragon python skirt. The upper body was in good condition, but there were many holes in the hem of the skirt; the same was true for the Empress Dowager, but she was in much better condition when she was protected by two people.

Ye Jingtang took a closer look, squatted down, and lifted up his clumsy skirt.

Dongfang Liren was taken aback for a moment, and quickly took half a step back, pressing down on his skirt:

"what are you doing?"

The Empress Dowager said softly: "Heal your wounds, what else can you do." Saying that, she pulled Dongfang Liren to sit down beside the small stone platform in the stone room.

Dongfang Liren pursed his lips: "The doctor girl will come over later, just let the doctor girl come, you are not a doctor..."

Ye Jingtang put the fire folder on the edge of the stone platform, held Dongfang Liren's white boots, and lifted up the hem of his skirt to check.

Dongfang Liren always dressed very formally, with white boots and thin trousers on his feet.

At this time, there were several holes on the white trouser legs, several scratches on the side of the legs, and several black bruises from the stones.

This kind of injury, let alone a warrior, is not a big deal on an ordinary civilian husband; but it looks a bit shocking when it is placed on a princess who has grown golden branches and jade leaves since she was a child.

Ye Jingtang carefully took off the shoes, untied the tether of the tabby socks, and before pulling them down, Dongfang Liren's face turned red, and his feet arched slightly:

"Hey……"

Ye Jingtang blinked his eyes, looked stupid, and didn't speak, but he probably meant——I saw all over my body, and I was rubbed by Mao Mao...

Dongfang Liren's eyes were full of strangeness, if he was touched by Ye Jingtang in private, it would be fine; now the Empress Dowager is in front of her...

Ye Jingtang pulled down the cloth socks, and a crystal-clear foot appeared in front of his eyes. The whole body seemed to be carved out of suet jade, and the veins of blood vessels could be faintly seen through the fair skin. When the hand touched it, the toes shrank shrink.

Dongfang Liren maintains the noble and majestic demeanor of a queen, but her eyes are obviously a little embarrassed. Seeing Ye Jingtang squatting in front of her and helping her roll up her trouser legs, she pursed her lips and wanted to say a few words to break the situation. eerie atmosphere.

But before Dongfang Liren could speak, he found that Ye Jingtang had taken out a small bottle from his waist, and was about to pour it on her lap...

"and many more!"

The charm in Dongfang Liren's heart disappeared, and he said quickly:
"Does it hurt?"

Ye Jingtang paused, and said frankly:
"Jinchuangsan, disinfects, stops bleeding and removes blood stasis, it hurts a bit."

Dongfang Liren originally wanted to put on a strong air to resist, but he was afraid that he would lose his posture by shouting later, so he raised his hand and tapped his chest twice, and then his body went limp and fell on the Empress Dowager's shoulder.

Ye Jingtang held his white and warm feet, sprinkled the white powder on his calf, tore off a section of skirt, wrapped his leg, and did the same with his left leg, and then looked at his thigh.

Dongfang Liren's face was flushed, his limbs were paralyzed and he couldn't move, so he quickly said:
"The thigh is not hurt."

Ye Jingtang checked the surface of the skirt and found that there were no holes, and looked at the empress dowager.

? !
The empress dowager supported Liren, and kept her eyes on Ye Jingtang touching Liren's feet, her face was a little hot, and she could see all the small eyes of the two of them flirting with each other, and she still thought it was quite interesting.

Noticing that the handsome and gentle guard looked over and seemed to want to do the same to her, the empress dowager sat up a little:

"Hmm... I'm fine."

"Why are you all right? The skirt is all torn..."

Dongfang Liren's eyes were serious, seeing that his limbs had almost recovered, he bent over and picked up the legs of the Empress Dowager, and put them on them.

Ye Jingtang stood up and looked away.

Dongfang Liren lifted up the hem of the red skirt, and her snow-white and soft calves and ankles appeared in front of her eyes. She paused, frowned and said:
"Queen, are you not wearing pants?"

? ?
The empress dowager originally thought that Ye Jingtang was a good gentleman, but when she heard this, her face turned red, and she patted Dongfang Liren on the shoulder:
"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm wearing it!"

Dongfang Liren looked at the small and delicate feet that didn't even wear socks, and knew that the Empress Dowager must be wearing no pants like her sister, but Ye Jingtang was present, so he didn't want to say much, so he just explained to the Empress Dowager:

"It's hot in summer, and the underwear in the palace is relatively short, so don't think about it."

Knowing that what Ye Jingtang was wearing was probably the same style of bowknot panties as Luo Nvxia and Yuhu, the kind that would fall off when pulled from the side, he sighed inwardly, but didn't turn his head to look around.

Holding the palace shoe, Dongfang Liren carefully inspected the Empress Dowager's calf, and found that there were only a little dark red and very shallow scratches, and he didn't even need to apply medicine. He breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed it gently with his hands.

The empress dowager was still in pain, but she didn't say anything, she kept a dignified demeanor, and looked at Ye Jingtang:
"Is your injury serious?"

Ye Jingtang looked at the tattered robes:
"I'm fine, not hurt at all."

Dongfang Liren gestured to his side: "You bandage it too, if you have time to apply the medicine, what's the matter?"

Seeing that no one came, Ye Jingtang sat down next to Benben, crossed his legs, tore open his trouser legs, and applied the medicine himself.

Dongfang Liren rubbed the empress dowager's calf, thought for a while and said:

"Yejingtang, did you find something? A tunnel recorded in an old book, how could there be someone inside, and we happened to bump into it..."

Although it is difficult to explain the source of Yejingtang's news, meeting someone in the tunnel can already be used as evidence. He explained:

"I have been investigating the murder case in Zhuji Street for the past two days. I was looking for books related to architecture, but when I was chatting with the shopkeeper of the bookstore, I found this book. I also heard that Prince Wu is also in the same interest..."

?

The empress dowager blinked her eyes: "Dongfang Yin is delicious, but I haven't heard that she is lustful... Could it be that he misses me?"

Dongfang Liren held down the cranky Empress Dowager, and said seriously:

"And then? Did you go to Prince Wu's Mansion yesterday?"

Ye Jingtang nodded: "I had no direction, so I ran to Prince Wu's Mansion to have a look, and found that there was indeed this book in the study of King Wu's son, and there were creases on the page where the tunnel was dug..."

Dongfang Liren felt that Ye Jingtang was a bit too courageous, so he frowned and said:

"What does this mean?"

"I just suspect that when I searched randomly, I found that there were traces of molten oil outside the observation building of Prince Wu's Mansion, and I wondered if Prince Wu's son might be plotting something wrong..."

The Empress Dowager said inexplicably: "Because Dongfang Yin reads the strange stories in Yanwen, you suspect that he is plotting something wrong?"

Ye Jingtang was not very good at explaining the reasoning path, so he explained casually:

"My investigations have always been so unconstrained. At first, I was just skeptical. I thought this tunnel had long been abandoned, and Prince Wu was digging another tunnel; but when I came in today, I found that someone had started construction in the tunnel that had been sealed for 200 years. It can explain that Prince Wu discovered this place and was doing some shady things in the dark..."

Dongfang Liren listened for a while, with a solemn expression, thought for a while and said:

"It's not that this king doesn't believe you, but these news, apart from traces of molten oil in the mansion, are all groundless conjectures. If you were an ordinary official, this king can arrest you for no reason, but Dongfang Yin is a vassal. Prince Wang, the imperial court tortures and extorts a confession without evidence, that is to force King Wu to rebel, and the courtiers will stop him even if the emperor ordered him to go back."

Ye Jingtang knew this, and looked at the collapsed tunnel in a blink of an eye, feeling a little headache:

"I've already started to scare the snake away. When the tunnel is dug through, the other party has already cleaned up the traces. It may not be easy to find evidence."

Dongfang Liren said: "As long as Dongfang Yin plots something wrong secretly, he can always find clues, and this king will arrange people to investigate secretly when he goes out. If this matter can be confirmed, I will credit you for the first time..."

During the chat, dense footsteps came from behind the door-sealing stone.

Seeing this, Ye Jingtang got up and communicated with the palace servants who rushed over...
