Uncle, don't overdo it

The four eyes face each other deeply.

After a while, Ximen Jingxuan let go of his hand and stood up straight.For a moment, he was a little dazed, and he didn't know why he wanted to tell Mochizuki what was on his mind.

Finding his concubine mother has been his wish for many years, others can guess, but he has never told anyone personally, but he mentioned it to Mochizuki unknowingly.

"I'll go into the palace." Ximen Jingxuan walked around the desk and said to Mochizuki who was standing by the chair.

"Yes." Lin Xiner nodded lightly, and followed Ximen Jingxuan to the outside of the study.

Ximen Jingxuan looked back at her deeply, then quickened his pace and left quickly.

Lin Xiner stopped in her tracks and watched Ximen Jingxuan disappear in a blink of an eye. She stood still for a while, and after making sure that he had left, she turned and looked at the door of the study.

The door was only ajar.

It seems that Ximen Jingxuan didn't take any precautions against the study room. Could it be that Zheng Xianlun really wasn't hiding in this secret passage?

Perhaps this is really a risky move.

Thinking about it, Lin Xiner quickly stepped forward and walked into the study.

According to the memory from last time, Lin Xiner quickly opened the door of the secret passage hidden behind the bookcase.

Lin Xiner picked up the candlestick on the table, lit the candle, used it as a light, and walked into the secret passage.

There was a torch on the wall not far from the entrance of the secret passage. For convenience, Lin Xiner lit the torch with a candle, held it in her hand, and exchanged it with the candlestick in her hand.

The secret path twisted and stretched, and soon he reached the secret room where he was trapped that day.

Lin Xiner used all the tricks at her disposal to open the door of the secret room from the outside. There was nothing inside.

Lin Xiner didn't dare to step in. After closing the door of the secret room, she continued to grope forward.

The secret passage became more and more gloomy, and according to the footsteps, it should be out of Prince Xuan's Mansion.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of iron chains, very soft, but very clear in the dark and quiet tunnel.

Lin Xiner's figure froze, she quickened her pace, and ran quickly towards the place she heard the voice.

At this time, several forks were built in the secret passage, and there were many iron prisons. It seemed that it was once a place for detaining people. If she hadn't heard the noise, Lin Xiner didn't know which fork to take.

Another sound of iron chains sounded, right in front of Lin Xiner, the sound of metal clashing was a bit harsh.

Lin Xiner stopped in front of an iron prison, and through the iron bars, she saw a ragged man with disheveled hair curled up in the innermost corner, with a few pieces of blackened dirt that seemed to have been dried up thrown in front of him. Steamed bun.

Holding up the torch, Lin Xiner took a photo of that person, but couldn't see his face.

Sensing the light, the man moved slightly, and the iron chain that tied him rang again, but he didn't raise his head, and his gray and messy hair hung down in no order.

"Are you Zheng Xianlun, Imperial Physician Zheng?" Lin Xiner asked.

He must be, it must be him!There was such a voice in Lin Xiner's heart.

Zheng Xianlun heard a female voice, raised his head slightly, but the disheveled hair hanging in front of his face still covered his sight, and looked at Lin Xiner faintly from the hair, but Lin Xiner still couldn't see his face. face.

"I heard that you are dumb, probably Ximen Jingxuan doesn't believe it, and I don't believe it either." Lin Xiner said.

Zheng Xianlun lowered his head silently.

"Aren't you curious about my appearance?" Lin Xiner asked, shaking Zheng Xianlun again with the torch.

Zheng Xianlun changed his posture and curled up in the corner again without saying a word.

"I'm not with Ximen Jingxuan. I came to you secretly to take you out to treat a person." Lin Xiner continued, "That person's identity is quite special, so this is a secret. She is now I need you very much."

Zheng Xianlun looked up at Lin Xiner again, and reached out to lift the messy hair in front of his face.

Only then did Lin Xiner see his face, which was covered in dirt, which should be scabs formed from blood mixed with dust.But the general appearance can still be seen, because of the inhuman life, he looks like a weather-beaten old man.

But from the information obtained by Shuiyue Palace, Zheng Xianlun should only be in his 40s.

"In the next few days, I will take you out of here." Lin Xiner looked at Zheng Xianlun and said.

"Why not now?" A hoarse voice came from Zheng Xianlun's mouth, as if he had been asleep for many years.

Lin Xiner didn't expect Zheng Xianlun to speak, she was slightly taken aback.

Why not now?

Lin Xiner did not expect to find Zheng Xianlun so easily. It turns out that the most neglected place is the place most likely to hide people.

Why isn't she in a hurry to take him away now?She had promised to find Zheng Xianlun in a few days and take him to Shuiyue Palace. She found out so soon in advance, so she shouldn't be happy, but why did she feel lost, deeply lost.

It's like losing something important.

She knew that it was her selfishness at work again, she didn't want to leave now, she gave herself an excuse to delay.

"I still have some things to do, and I'm not very familiar with this secret passage, so I'm afraid there will be no return. So, let me explore the way more, so that I can take you away without any chance." Lin Xiner said.

Zheng Xianlun lowered his head again.

"Don't worry, I will definitely take you away within five days at the most, and that patient won't be delayed." Lin Xiner said.

Five days was the deadline she gave herself.

Master, just give the disciple five days, okay?

"Five days? Okay, I'll wait." Zheng Xianlun said in a hoarse voice, "It's just that if it takes longer, I'm afraid it won't last."

A few days apart, he experienced two floggings. Over the past year, he experienced many inhuman tortures, and kept biting him to death until Ximen Jingxuan lost his patience and only used one type of flogging to deal with him.But he was afraid that he would not be able to bear the constant whipping.

He was afraid that he couldn't bear to tell Ximen Jingxuan the truth, in that case he would betray her.

He was also afraid that he couldn't bear it and finally died, but he hadn't found the person she entrusted him to find, and he still failed her.

Therefore, when this woman suddenly appeared and said that she would take him away, he seemed to see starlight.

Only by leaving here and escaping from Ximen Jingxuan can he live up to her, and he has to find the person she entrusted him to find.

"Can't last?" Lin Xiner also heard Zheng Xianlun's hard forbearance, "Why is it so exhausting, can't you just tell Ximen Jingxuan the whereabouts of Concubine Ru? As a doctor who saves lives and heals the wounded, you just Can you watch a son eager to find his mother but not realize it? You are trying to separate the mother and the child."

"Hehe." Zheng Xianlun let out a hoarse laugh, looking very scary in the dark dungeon.

"Mother and child reunion? I also want their mother and child to be reunited, so that a beautiful thing can happen." Zheng Xianlun said, "However, Ximen Jingxuan will never be able to realize this wish in this life."

"Concubine Ru is dead?" Lin Xiner asked.

Zheng Xianlun glanced at Lin Xiner, "If you want to know the truth, wait until you rescue me. As long as I think I'm safe, I'll tell you what I know. Now—"

Zheng Xianlun kept his mouth shut.

Lin Xiner knew that he still suspected that she was sent by Ximen Jingxuan to try to trick him into tricking her.

"Okay, as you wish, I saved you, you tell me the truth, and you also need to see a doctor." Lin Xiner said.

Looking at the other end of the secret passage, Lin Xiner asked, "Do you know where this secret passage leads to?"

Zheng Xianlun shook his head.

Lin Xiner didn't ask any more questions, and walked in that direction with a torch in hand. She planned to find out the situation in the secret passage, so that she could deal with any accidents at that time.
