cold heart prince

Chapter 108

After Keyi said goodbye to Tong He'an, she returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion. However, as soon as she walked to Hongqiao, she met Yan Xiao, who looked a little anxious.

"Yiyi, come with me."

Ke Yi wondered, what happened?

"Yan Xiao, where are you taking me?"

"I think, I may have found your mother's whereabouts." I just received news from Chuming and Xuanming, and found a secret passage in Tong Qianming's bedroom. I went in and took a rough look, and found a woman lying on the bed, two People can't be sure, but he has a premonition that the woman may be the mother Yiyi wants to find, but he is not [-]% sure.

Ke Yi's eyes were shining brightly: "Really? My mother found it." She couldn't hide her excitement on her pretty face.

Seeing Keyi's anticipation, Yan Xiao began to feel uncertain, Wai Yi, that woman is not Yiyi's mother, how should she be disappointed: "Yiyi, what if it's not?"

The smile suddenly froze on his face, making Yan Xiao's heart tighten, but then, Keyi said indifferently: "It's okay, I want to think on the bright side, maybe it's really my mother?" She Thinking optimistically, even if not, she would not give up.

"Yan Xiao, take me there quickly." Keyi urged impatiently.

After all, the two rushed to the prime minister's mansion again. At this time, the prime minister's mansion had long been deserted, and Wenxiu was in charge of counting Tong Qianming's corrupt property, one box after another, comparable to the national treasury. They are all rare treasures, and the amount of ill-gotten gains collected from everywhere is staggering.

Ke Yi entered through the gate, and Wen Xiu noticed it sharply: "Luo Ying, why are you here?"

"I'll explain to you when I go back." Keyi looked around, gestured with his eyes, lowered his voice, and said cautiously.Wen Xiu immediately understood that there are many people here, and it is inevitable that something will be heard and passed on by interested people.

"Zhuo Tong went to the military camp on behalf of the king, and he is not around. You can go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to see if there is anything that has been overlooked." Wenxiu deliberately raised his voice, and the busy people around him just glanced at him. With one glance, he went back to doing his own thing.

Ke Yiwan smiled: "Yes, my lord."

Then he left the sight of everyone, Wenxiu casually glanced at the man who was following Keyi, his ordinary face made people not care, but for no reason, Wenxiu suddenly felt a sense of familiarity, and this feeling was just a flash However, he shook his head, he should be a servant of the mansion, so he has a sense of familiarity.

Watching people go to the empty mansion, Keyi couldn't help but lament that the world is changing, she looks very calm, as if everything has nothing to do with her.

"Keyi, this way."

After looking around, Yan Xiao pointed to a room and said to Ke Yi who was in a daze, and Ke Yi regained his senses and followed Yan Xiao to enter.According to Chu Ming and Xuan Ming's description, Yan Xiao used a mechanism to open the partition on the bed, Ke Yi stared blankly, secretly thinking that Tong Qian Ming's shrewdness set the entrance on the sleeping bed, no one would have thought of it.

With a nervous mood, Keyi walked down the stairs step by step, Yan Xiao held a candle to light the way ahead, the stench came to the two of them, Keyi couldn't help covering her nose and frowning, how can she be so stupid here If it is really a mother, how will she survive this long night.

The more you go inside, the stronger the smell, and the passage gradually becomes wider. When you walk to the end, a space is formed. With simple furnishings, I think it is probably a room, right?But now the bed is empty.

"Yan Xiao, this..."

Ke Yi paused, and looked at Yan Xiao with surprised eyes.Yan Xiao also frowned, with a puzzled expression on his face, Chu Ming and Xuan Ming must not lie to him, then there is only one possibility, he had already left before they came.Thinking, he stepped forward and touched the bedding on the bed with his hands.

"It's still hot, it should have just left."

Ke Yi looked at the closed surroundings, and said: "But there is no other way out except the way we came here. If you just left as you said, you didn't meet anyone. It is not easy to go in and out of the mansion without being discovered." Therefore, the prime minister's mansion at that time was already guarded by the Imperial Forest Army.

"There must be other exits in this place, let's find out if there is any mechanism."

Keyi tapped his head lightly, and groped along the wall seriously, however, the wall surface was extremely smooth, and everything he knocked on was solid. Suddenly, Yan Xiao called Keyi as if he had discovered something: "Yiyi , look this way."

Keyi walked to Yan Xiao's side and observed carefully, but after watching for a long time, he didn't see anything unusual.Seeing this, Yan Xiao pointed to a Xifeng, and said: "Look here, other places are flat, only here is Xifeng, and the appearance of the two sides is connected, it is the shape of a stone gate."

"That is to say, this door is another exit?" Keyi opened her eyes wide and said excitedly.

"Well, it's possible, but I don't know where the mechanism of this door is?" I just looked around, and there is no such mechanism.

Hearing this, Ke Yi instantly slumped her face, and the hope that surged up was shattered at this moment, is it really impossible to find it?

"There must be a mechanism, let's look for it again." Ke Yi still did not give up, facing Yan Xiao with firm eyes, and said slowly.

After that, she continued to search in the rather small room inch by inch. When she just turned around, she accidentally stepped on a hard object. She moved her foot away, squatted down in doubt, and stood at the foot of the wall. Picked up a piece of crescent-shaped white jade.

"Yan Xiao, look, what is this?" She got up and handed the white jade to Yan Xiao.

Yan Xiao held it in his hand and looked at it repeatedly, but he couldn't figure it out. After a while, he opened his mouth and said unintentionally: "Could it be that this is the key to open the stone gate?"

"Very likely, maybe it was left behind by Mother when she ran away." It's just that she couldn't figure it out, since Mother had the key, why did she wait until the Tong family was defeated before escaping?
Yan Xiao frowned: "If it's a key, what about the lock? Where is the lock?"

Lock?Lock?
There must be a lock, look for it again.

Ke Yi was very firm. Suddenly, she seemed to think of something suddenly, and squatted down again: "We only search on the wall and the objects around, why didn't we think about looking for the mechanism on the ground?"

What she said suddenly awakened Yan Xiao, that's right, no one stipulated where the agency should be located, how could it not have thought of the ground?
So, the two of them put their attention on the ground and started a new round of searching. Not long after, Yan Xiao's joyful voice came: "Yiyi, the mechanism is here."

Ke Yi straightened up quickly, and ran towards Yan Xiao. Not far from the left side of the door, on the ground against the wall, there was a sunken crescent shape. If you don't touch it with your hands, you can't find it at all. Ke Yi raised his eyes and looked at it. Glancing at Yan Xiao, he slowly put the crescent jade in his hands into the concave surface, and then the two of them fixed their eyes on Shimen.After a dull bang, the stone door slowly rose up, revealing another passage.

Keyi was full of hope, and looked at Yan Xiao excitedly: "It succeeded."

"Well, it's not too late, let's catch up quickly, maybe we can find your mother."

Yan Xiao picked up the candle again and walked forward.
