Aijia Kefu: Your Majesty, please avoid

Chapter 90
In the end, Lu Li led Xiao Luzi and his party into the tunnel.

It's not that she doesn't worry about Su Qingyuan's safety, but that the arrow is on the string and she has to shoot.

The inside of the tunnel is gloomy.Xiao Luzi carried the lantern, and together with a few guards carefully guarded Lu Li, for fear of encountering any unknown danger.

Fortunately, all is well.

Everyone walked along the tunnel for about a hundred feet, and they saw an exquisite wooden door in front of them.

In such a place, the appearance of such a wooden door is obviously very uncoordinated, even very weird and terrifying.

Xiao Luzi sent two guards inside to check, and reported back that there was no one inside.

Lu Li walked in quickly.

Inside the door is an exquisite room.

Six huge night pearls are inlaid on the wall, illuminating the room in a faint green with a strange tone.

There was nothing on the table, on the cabinet, or on the wooden shelf. There was only a food box on a small table that seemed to be a dressing table, and several bowls of food were placed beside it, still steaming.

The bed curtain was very delicate, and the satin quilt was spread casually on the bed, with one corner hanging down, almost touching the ground.

Lu Li pushed aside the path and walked quickly to the bed.

Duan Ran clapped his hands behind and laughed loudly: "This room is obviously a woman's boudoir! I said Chang Li, are you so impolite when you break into someone's boudoir?"

Lu Li ignored him.

The furnishings in this room have already overlapped with Su Qingyuan's introduction in last night's dream.Lu Li firmly believed that this was where his A Yuan lived!

Duan Ran didn't get an answer, a little reconciled, he continued to laugh and said: "Looking at the location of this house, it is clearly under your sleeping hall—there is such a good place under the Yangju Hall, it doesn't seem like an outsider Something that can be done! I said...couldn’t it be you secretly hiding here in the golden house yourself?”

Lu Li found Su Qingyuan's hairpin and an earring from under the pillow—it was a perfect pair with the one found at the entrance of the Yeting Palace's tunnel.

There is no longer any doubt.

This is where Ayuan lived!

In the past few days, he had trouble sleeping and eating, and looked for her everywhere like crazy; but she was suffering under the ground of the Yangju Hall!

Lu Li clutched the hairpin tightly, feeling pain in his heart.

Afterwards, he found the sacrificial oration under the mattress—and tore it to shreds.

Following the leader of the guards who entered the tunnel, he rushed in and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, the tunnel has come to an end, and the exit has not been found yet."

"Damn it, they were the first to block it again!" Xiao Luzi yelled, beating his chest and feet, it's a pity.

Lu Li's hands tightened: "Send more people, keep looking!"

The guard hurriedly agreed to go, and Lu Li walked out quickly, clutching the hairpin.

Xiao Luzi, Duan Ran and the others hurriedly followed, and saw Lu Li walking quickly along the tunnel.

The lanterns in the hands of the guards had already illuminated the tunnel very well, but the design of the tunnel was very delicate, just like the previous few times, it was extremely difficult to find the entrance of the tunnel.

Walking to the end of the tunnel, Lu Li stood still against the wall, feeling very uncomfortable.

Xiao Luzi was busy comforting him: "At least now I know where the empress is, so I don't have to bump around here and there anymore. Let's look for the hole quickly, we will find it!"

"It's one step too late..." Lu Li smiled wryly, feeling his eyes sore.

When he came over in the morning, he should have caught Aunt Nian and ordered someone to dig three feet in the dungeon to find the hole!
Just because of a momentary miscalculation, is he going to pass A Yuan again?
He has been waiting for these days, and of course he is not afraid of waiting for a few more days.But these tunnels criss-cross, even if he finds the next hole, how can he ensure that the other party does not escape to another place again?

How many times can he bear such misses and regrets again and again?

Lu Li was even suspicious: Is it possible that the other party is deliberately leading him by the nose, in order to cover up another conspiracy?
He couldn't figure it out for a while.

Just thinking that the person he was thinking about was somewhere in this tunnel, he felt like being scratched by a cat in his heart, itchy and painful, very uncomfortable.

Duan Ran came over and patted Lu Li's shoulder, and comforted him, "Don't be sad, anyway, you and her have a bad name, and you always get together less and leave more. This time, you haven't been separated for a few days! Now she might There is only a wall between you, what is there to be sad about? Besides, you can still meet in your dreams!"

With a dark face, Lu Li tried his best to resist the urge to hit him.

He stood up slowly, dragged his legs and slowly returned to the previous room.

On the table are her favorite meals, on the bed are her quilts, and there is her scent in this room, he is reluctant to leave.

After sitting on the edge of the bed again and staring blankly for a while, Lu Li suddenly raised his head: "In this room earlier, what did you say 'golden house hidden beauty'?"

Duan Ran was stunned for a while before he realized that he was asking him, and then he narrowed his eyes with a smile: "Why, you really got the idea of ​​'Golden House Cangjiao'? Not to mention, this tunnel and this room are clearly the It was set up for Jinwu Zangjiao! You and that woman can’t see each other, why don’t you pretend that she is dead and raise her here secretly—just close the gate of the Yangju Palace, and let the two of you do whatever you want It's crazy, outsiders won't know, do you think it's wonderful?"

Lu Li leaned against the head of the bed, resting on Su Qingyuan's pillow, thoughtful, "You're right—such an intricate tunnel, with many exits built in palaces, really doesn't look like it was done by outsiders."

Duan Ran tapped on the table, pondering: "You mean, this tunnel may have been secretly built by a certain generation of emperors? That's right, look at the luminous pearls in this room, any one of them is priceless, but here they are only used as treasures." For lighting, not to mention these elegant tables, chairs and bed curtains... Only your family can be so rich! Maybe I guessed it right, this place may be someone who doesn’t repair it The old ancestor Jinwu Cangjiao used it!"

Lu Li rolled his eyelids and gave him a supercilious look.

Duan Ran pinched his chin, showing a mysterious smile: "The emperor is the lord of the world, and he wants to hide his woman secretly, afraid that people will find out? Could it be that your old ancestor is the same as you, Playing an unethical love that is not tolerated by the world?"

Lu Li stood up suddenly with a "huh".

Duan Ran was taken aback, staggered two steps back, and fell to the ground with a "boom" sound: "You, you, what are you doing? I'm just kidding, you don't want to do it, do you?"

Lu Li completely ignored the yelling Duan Ran, and walked away from him, walking away quickly.

Duan Ran patted his buttocks and stood up, quickly following.

Lu Li went straight out of the tunnel, returned to the palace, and summoned Xiao Yingzi.

"Your Majesty, some adults in the court are quite critical about today's exemption from court..." Xiaoyingzi knelt down as soon as he entered the door.

Lu Li interrupted him irritably: "Leave them alone! I'm here to ask you, are there any maps in this palace that haven't been touched for a long time, or are there any drawers and cages that cannot be opened?"

Xiaoyingzi's expression changed, he hesitated to speak.

"Hurry up!" Lu Li said anxiously.

Xiao Yingzi raised his head and said hesitantly: "There are indeed. There are two hidden compartments under the Longshu table in Chaoqian Hall, and you can only find it when you put your hand under the table..."

Lu Li immediately stood up and stared at him closely.

Xiao Yingzi hurriedly bowed his head and said, "Aside from the emperor, only the eunuchs of the past knew about this matter. But only the emperor knows the method of opening the secret compartment, and there is a second person who can do it for him."

Without saying a word, Lu Li immediately got up and rushed to Chaogan Hall.

Emperors have always sat upright in court, and Lu Li never thought of reaching out to touch the bottom of the table.

At this time, he lifted off the bright yellow brocade covering the case, frantically groped underneath for a long time, but found nothing.

In desperation, he simply used all his strength and waved his hand, overturning the entire table.

Sure enough, in a very hidden corner, he saw two uneven places.

This should be what Xiaoyingzi called the "secret space".

I found it, but how to open these two hidden compartments became a problem again.

Xiaoyingzi said distressedly: "The secret of this hidden compartment has been passed down from generation to generation by word of mouth, but the slaves don't know it."

Lu Li sneered: "That's right. That old thief has never been the heir apparent, and he burned Weiyang Palace to usurp the throne, so the secret of this secret room will naturally be lost—in other words, even if it has not been lost, he will not be willing to pass it on to me. .”

The secrets passed down orally by the emperors of the past dynasties are naturally extraordinary.

Lu Li thought for a while, then ordered in a deep voice, "You quietly call a few people over and split this table!"

Xiaoyingzi shook his head hesitantly: "I heard from my godfather that the inside of this secret compartment is made of fine steel, and I'm afraid it cannot be split open by a knife and axe."

Lu Li's expression turned ugly: "It's so easy to find a clue, can't you be overjoyed?"

Duan Ran, who followed, patted his forehead suddenly: "Lu Li, your family is not smart! Hasn't the possibility of losing such a secret thing been thought about? There is a secret compartment but no key, it's better to have nothing! "

"Key?" Lu Li frowned slightly.

There are no keys, but there are a few things that have been passed down from generation to generation.

such as--

Lu Li reached into his arms and took out a rough purse.

Seeing Duan Ran, he couldn't help clapping his hands and laughing: "I said—is it so miserable to be an emperor? No one even embroiders a good purse for you?"

Of course Lu Li didn't care about him.

So Duan Ran hugged his stomach and laughed heartily.As a result, when Lu Li took out a black stone-like object from his purse, he didn't even have the energy to laugh.

That black "stone" was a burnt jade pendant.

The dragon pattern on it has been broken in many places, but the general shape is still there.

Lu Li groped for the location of the hidden compartment, and finally found a very inconspicuous depression.

Putting the jade pendant on it didn't fit perfectly, but it seemed just right.

Lu Li put his hand on the dark space and pushed it lightly.

opened.

"Wow! It's okay!" Duan Ran felt that he had learned a lot.

Lu Li moved slightly in his heart, and his expression was a little complicated.

He didn't have much memory of his biological father, Emperor Zhao, and he always thought that he was a prince who was not valued. He didn't expect that such an important thing had already come to him!
Lu Li, who had always been indifferent to family affection, suddenly felt a sense of mission coming from his blood.

He collected his mind, slowly stretched out his hand, and took out the things in the secret compartment.

It was a heavy scroll of parchment.

Lu Li's breathing immediately became rapid.

He couldn't believe that he would be so lucky—is this a bright future?
With trembling hands, he unrolled the scroll little by little.

As the scroll unfolded, the smile on Lu Li's lips slowly disappeared.

Duan Ran stomped his feet beside him and shouted: "The legendary map of thousands of miles of heaven and earth! There really is such a thing! My God...with this thing, why are we afraid of Beiyan and Xiliang! Lu Li, Take a good look, Nanyue, Beiyan, Xiliang, and those scattered small countries are all on it! Mountains, rivers, towns, mines all over the world... this map has it all! With this map With the map in hand, even if you want to dominate the world, I'm afraid it won't be difficult!"

Lu Li only glanced at it roughly, then threw it to the side impatiently.

What does he want this map for?What is the benefit of dominating the world?What he wants is his Yuan...

Now, there is still a secret compartment that has not been opened.

Lu Li's heart beat wildly.

He had only a little hope.

If there is still nothing he wants in the last hidden compartment, he really doesn't know what to do.

This secret compartment is not so easy to open.

The other side of the jade pendant coincides with the concave pattern on the dark grid.

But the dragon pattern on the other side was severely broken, and it was obviously put on, but it still couldn't reach the proper state.

Lu Li fiddled around for a while, cold sweat dripped down his forehead.

Or not.

Lu Li stood up irritatedly: "Just ask a craftsman to saw the table! The bottom of the secret compartment is made of fine steel, and the top can't be the same..."

There was really no merit in this idea, neither Duan Ran nor Xiaoyingzi agreed with him.

Lu Li took the jade pendant and rubbed it over and over for a long time.

Suddenly, as if blessed by his soul, he thought of a seemingly absurd idea.

He pulled out his saber and cut his fingertips, dripping a few drops of blood on the broken dragon pattern.

Of course, the dragon mark has not returned to its original state.

Although there has been a saying of "nourishing jade with blood" since ancient times, "nourishing jade" is not an overnight effort, let alone a piece of sick jade that has been burned out!
Although this method is very unreliable, after the blood seeps in, the broken dragon pattern is still a bit moister than before.

Holding his breath, Lu Li tentatively placed the jade pendant on the previous dark lines again.

There was no movement.

Lu Li pressed his hand on it and didn't move for a long time.

Hope is clearly in front of you, but the last step is even more difficult, this feeling is really uncomfortable!
He was eagerly looking forward to opening this secret compartment, but he felt a little timid in his heart, and was tormented by contradictions like this.

After an unknown amount of time, there was a soft "click" in the dark compartment.

Lu Li was overjoyed, and pushed forward with trembling hands——it opened.

His hands were trembling really badly, and it took a while before he slowly took out the contents.

Almost identical scrolls of parchment.

Lu Li's worries intensified—could it be some kind of Qiankun Map, Sheji Map or something like that?

Seeing that he was hesitant, Duan Ran simply reached out and snatched the scroll, and quickly unfolded it.

On this piece of paper, there are only some crooked lines, not even a single word.

The three gathered together and looked at it carefully for a long time, Xiaoyingzi suddenly clapped his hands and shouted: "This is probably right! Your Majesty, look, do these few strokes look like a dragon's head? Do the next few strokes look like a phoenix tail? "

Duan Ran glared at him angrily: "We are looking for the map of the secret road, who will teach you what to look for!"

Xiaoyingzi clapped his hands and said anxiously: "Look at this location again! Suppose the location of the dragon's head is the Chaogan Palace, the location of the phoenix tail is the Yikun Palace, and the two circles in the middle are the Yong'an Palace..."

Lu Li's eyes lit up, and he followed the line and looked down carefully.

These lines are completely different from the roads in the palace, but the strange symbols at the intersection of the lines miraculously coincide with the positions of every palace and garden!
"That's right, it must be!" Lu Li slapped his hands hard and shouted.

Duan Ran clapped his palms and said with a smile: "Wonderful! If we don't draw the buildings on the ground, and don't mark them with words, if we don't think about authentic things in our hearts, we might not be able to guess what it is even after ten years of guessing!"

Lu Li stood up: "Since the location of the dragon's head is Chaogan Hall, then - there should be a hole in Chaogan Hall!"

"Dragon head?" Duan Ran squeezed his chin and smiled, "Where is the dragon head?"

The three of them turned their gazes to the dragon chair next to them.

Lu Li walked over, squatted down beside the dragon chair, and took a closer look.

Sitting in this position for months, he never paid attention to any details.Now that he lowered his angle of view, he realized that the patterns on the dragon chair were meticulously carved, and he had put a lot of effort into it.

It took a full cup of tea to check the lines one by one, but it really made him see the way.

The armrest on one side is separated from the entire dragon chair, and there is a gap that is so thin that it is almost invisible.

After discovering this detail, he sat on the dragon chair, gripped the armrest tightly, and lifted it up.

There was a loud bang of "Boom——" and a big hole was opened on the ground in front of me.

Duan Ran was standing in the hole, and almost fell, so scared that he yelled "Wow".

Lu Li smiled.

After restoring the hole on the ground to its original state, he casually threw the scroll to Duan Ran: "Gather all the Golden Armored Guards, find out every hole according to the map, and everyone go down the tunnel at the same time, I don't believe we can't find the rat !"

"Hey, you said the Empress Dowager is a mouse?" Duan Ran took the scroll and asked with a smile.

Lu Li kicked it.

Duan Ran laughed loudly, and rushed out the door: "Little ones, call the Golden Armored Guards, let's drill a hole to catch a beautiful mouse spirit tonight!"

"Duan Ran, don't let me catch you!" Lu Li gritted his teeth and cursed, but he couldn't hold back his smile.

There may still be twists and turns, and there may be dangers, but—after all, this is the first time he has seen real hope in many days!

The number of Golden Armored Guards is huge, and they have always been dispatched only by the emperor.

At this time the night was getting dark, Duan Ran suddenly sent Lu Li's order to summon the Golden Armored Guard urgently, and everyone who heard the movement couldn't help but feel a little startled.

All the eunuchs and eunuchs in the palaces were brought under control, and the whole palace city was brightly lit, and people were panicked.

There were cries in almost every palace, and it was natural that some timid maids were frightened.

Princess Jingmin of Yuxiu Palace was anxious and frightened, and wanted to come out to look for Lu Li, but was stopped by her mother.

Yanxi Su Qingluan slept in the dormitory, and watched Jin Jiawei barge in, turned her favorite sandalwood screen a few times, revealing a big hole, and slipped in.

"What's going on?!" Su Qingluan cried in fright.

The maid serving beside her looked calm, like a clay bodhisattva: "Your Majesty, don't worry, everything will be fine as it is."

"Let it take its course?" Su Qingluan sneered: "I'm just a cover for them to cover up people's eyes and tricks... When they don't need me, I will be ruthlessly discarded—how can you let me be willing to let me go?" It's natural?"

The court lady lowered her head, looked at her nose and heart, and did not answer her words.

Lu Li returned to the Yangju Hall, circling around the stove - he wanted to sit down and wait for news, but every time he sat down, he stood up again in the next second and continued circling around the stove.

Anxious.

He was eagerly looking forward to the news from Jin Jiawei, but he was afraid of the news from Jin Jiawei.

After all, the possibility of "jumping over the wall in a hurry" still exists.

He was afraid that his impetuous advance would bring disaster to Su Qingyuan.But besides doing this, he really couldn't think of a second way.

The personnel affairs have been exhausted, and most of the rest are subject to the destiny.

On that map, not only the location of each hole was marked, but also the location and shape of every corner in the tunnel—so, before dawn, the Golden Armored Guards would definitely be able to open all the tunnels.

At that time, those secrets hidden in the darkness will no longer be hidden!
At the beginning of the ugly time, news finally came.

It was in the tunnel not far from Yikun Palace.

Considering that those people fled from the underground of Yangju Hall with Su Qingyuan, Lu Li told them to pay more attention to the places near Yangju Hall, such as Yikun Palace and Yong'an Hall.

Now it seems that the expectations seem to be good!
The soldier who sent the letter knelt down and said: "When my subordinates and others rushed to Yikun Palace, they found signs of movement near the entrance of the cave. The guards said that someone had escaped from Yikun Palace..."

"Escaped?!" Lu Li's expression changed.

The soldier hurriedly said: "The subordinates have already sent people to chase after them—some of them entered the tunnel and found that a secret room door there was closed from the inside. It must be someone among them. The subordinates dare not make decisions without authorization. Please be judged by the emperor!"

"Lead the way, I'll go and have a look!" Lu Li hurried out the door.

Xiao Luzi quickly followed with a dozen or so eunuchs: "Your Majesty, think twice, I'm afraid there is a fraud!"

Instead of not stopping, Lu Li walked faster and faster.

fraudulent?

He thought that his A Yuan might be in that secret room, not to mention "deceived", even if he was to be "deep fried", he had to go!
