Chapter 88 The General's Mansion (4)
He stretched out his hand to hold her ankle, pulled her gently and sat down, closed his eyes and said: "Zhen'er was also tired all night, take a rest, didn't you say that you will continue to investigate tonight?" ?”

After kicking him twice again, she retracted her legs, and just lay down on the prison floor to catch up on sleep.

When she woke up again, it was about noon, which was judged from her "cuckling" stomach.Turning her head, seeing His Highness Ning Wang in the cell next door looking at her with his chin resting on the bars, tender and doting, full of affection, His Highness Wang Fei couldn't help shivering.

Seeing that she had woken up, Shangguan Yun opened the food box next to her, and stuffed dishes into her cell, saying, "Is Zhen'er hungry? Let's have lunch."

Seeing that Murong Zhen was not polite to him, the brilliance between his brows and eyes became more vivid, and he said, "I'm going out for a while, Zhen'er, do you want to come together?"

Without even raising her head, she still said to herself, "I'm still wearing a sinful body."

It means that I don't want to go out with you.

In the backyard of Prince Kang’s Mansion, the scenery is quiet and elegant. The thirteenth prince, Shangguan Jingyu, is standing on the stone bridge at this moment, quietly and gracefully feeding the koi in the pond below. Not too far away, staring at their master intently, once they find any discomfort, they will rush over immediately.

Suddenly there was a monster wind, and a shadow appeared beside Shangguan Jingyu like a ghost, so that the two attendants had no time to react, but when they saw the figure clearly, they did not let go of their breath. Come, but did not rush forward rashly, but shifted the attention of asking for instructions to their master.

His attention was still all on the koi in the pool below, watching them scrambling to eat the bait he sprinkled, he said softly: "You all go back first, this king wants to discuss something with King Ning."

"Yes, my subordinates retire!"

"These stupid koi are really daring, and they are rushing to gather here to compete for food." His Highness Ning Wang sat sideways on the stone bridge railing, smiled and watched the red waves rolling below, so leisurely said.

Shangguan Jingyu chuckled lightly, and said, "You don't even want to let go of these few fish in my house, do you?"

"Uncle Thirteen was joking, you are the emperor's uncle, how dare your nephew disrespect you?"

"Really? Then who knocked out the king's hidden guard?"

"This is just in case, Uncle Thirteen, you certainly don't want the news that I came to see you today to be spread?"

Shangguan Jingyu sprinkled all the bait in his hand into the pool, turned his head to look at Shangguan Yunqing, and said, "Since he is my king's secret guard, he is naturally the person I trust most."

"But I don't like being stared at by them in the dark." Shangguan Yunqing smiled like a gossip, enough nonsense, and went straight to the topic, "Uncle Thirteen came to see me last night, I don't know what's important ?”

Shangguan Jingyu turned to look at him, and said: "I heard that the emperor temporarily pardoned your concubine's capital crime and summoned you into the palace. I thought you would go back to Prince Ning's mansion after you left the palace, but unexpectedly I was wrong."

Regarding this sentence, Shangguan Yunqing couldn't help but narrowed his eyes slightly, "Uncle Thirteen is really well informed."

The Thirteenth Prince smiled noncommittally, as if he was tired from standing for a long time, he leaned on his side with his hands on the stone railing, coughed a few times, and said: "I didn't have anything important to look for you yesterday, I was just guessing." You may go to investigate the General's Mansion, and I want to tell you everything."

"what's up?"

"You left the capital six years ago and only came back recently. So many things have happened since you came back. I'm afraid you haven't had time to find out many things." After a pause, he took a few breaths before continuing. "There are three suspicious places in the General's Mansion. You should already know this, but what I want to tell you now is that there is a secret basement in the house in the backyard. In addition to entering from the main entrance, there is a connecting line to the basement. The tunnel that the eldest princess doesn't even know leads directly to the outside of the city."

Shangguan Yunqing's eyes flashed, and he asked, "How did you know?"

Smiling slightly, Shangguan Jingyu took out another pack of bait from nowhere, sprinkled it into the pool lightly, looked at the school of fish that suddenly became lively because of his action, and said softly: "It was the Great General's Mansion back then. The person who built that house was hunted down afterwards, and I happened to rescue him, so I knew the secret passage he secretly left behind."

"Since you know where the secret passage is, do you know what's in that basement now?"

"do not know."

"do not know?"

"I just know that there is such a secret passage, but I have never gone in to check it."

"why is that?"

"Because it's not necessary." He continued to sprinkle the bait, a hint of coldness suddenly appeared in his smiling eyes, but his tone was still calm, "I'm not interested in such things as fighting for power. I live more comfortably when I am alive, so I don’t want to let myself become a pawn in the hands of others, maybe even worse than a pawn.”

"If that's the case, why are you telling me this now?" I couldn't tell what kind of mood he was in at the moment, but he was still smiling, looking at Uncle Thirteen quietly.

Shangguan Jing paused for a while before throwing the bait, and then said, "I just think you may need it."

While speaking, he flicked his fingers, as if something flew out of his fingertips and fell into Shangguan Yunqing's hands.

Shangguan Yunqing squeezed his palm lightly, turned around to leave without saying a word, walked a few steps but stopped suddenly, turned his head to look at Shangguan Jingyu who seemed to be immersed in the koi world, and said: "Thirteen Uncle, you seem to be very concerned about my Zhener."

The movement of sprinkling the bait froze, and then it slowly fell from his fingers. He chuckled and said, "I'm just a useless person. I might die suddenly at some point. What are you worried about?"

"Not worried, just curious."
