"Honey, that doesn't look like a knee."

"..."

The dark space was filled with silence.

at the same time.

A gray-feathered soldier who was cleaning Liulan Hall frowned and stopped in his tracks.

His companion turned around in confusion, and looked at him strangely: "What's wrong? Did you find anything?"

"No...but I seem to hear something?"

"Sound? Where's the sound?"

"It seems to be under the floor?"

The companion couldn't help laughing: "Did you hear it wrong, where would someone hide underground? Which fool would dig a hole and bury himself?"

"Just to be on the safe side, I'll scan it with my soul."

The gray feather army vigilantly probed the surrounding ground with their souls.

However, his soul power was too weak, and the moment he sacrificed it, he was controlled by a certain master of the soul who was also hidden.

He didn't even know that he was in control. After withdrawing his soul, he shook his head bored: "There is nothing underground, I must have heard wrong."

"I'll just say it~ well, don't just stay there, search quickly."

Time passed by minute by minute.

In the end, the Gray Feather Army searched through the palace of Liu Lan...

No one was found.

"Reporting to His Royal Highness, there is no suspicious person on the east side."

The last Gray Feather Army finished his report and retreated with embarrassment.

He could see the suppressed anger on Liu Yingzong's face, if Liu Lan and the others were not here, he would have denounced Hui Yujun as a bunch of trash.

Liu Lan breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled slightly, and said, "Your Highness, the search is over, is there anything else?"

"Humph."

Liu Ying glanced at Liu Lan, then slowly got up.

He said to the sturdy figure beside him who looked like a general: "Jiu Ruo, let's go."

"Yes, His Royal Highness."

Liu Jiuruo nodded, his eyes cast down involuntarily.

He thought about it again and again, but still shook his head uncertainly, and in the end he could only follow Liu Yingzong and leave together.

But when Liu Ying stepped out of Liu Lan Hall, he suddenly stopped.

Liu Ying turned sideways, glanced sideways at Liu Lan behind her, and said in a deep voice: "In a few days, it will be the Fengyue Yahui. I hope that at that time, I can see the demeanor of Sanmei and that princess Shaofu."

After saying this, Liu Yingzong completely left Liu Lan Hall, and went away very quickly.

After confirming that Liu Yingzong and the others had all left, Liu Lan and Liu Qingqing looked at each other, and the sisters breathed a sigh of relief in unison.

Liu Lan looked around and said, "You can come out now."

This statement came out.

A certain floor tile at Liu Lan's feet suddenly bulged, and immediately a shiny head emerged from the ground.

Those who knew knew it was a head, but those who didn’t know thought it was a special marinated egg somewhere.

Gu Xun smiled, and while getting out of the ground by himself, he cast the spell and pulled out the people who were also hidden in the ground and protected by the formation.

Due to the protective effect of the magic circle, Chen Anning and the others were not stained with mud, and they were still clean when they came out.

Seeing how everyone "grows" out of the ground, Liu Lan couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It's really lucky that you can come up with such a way..."

"I am more proficient in the way of escaping from the tunnel." Gu Yan scratched his head with a smile: "I am not a person who is good at frontal combat. I am quite good at the way of escaping and hiding."

"And I also added a lot of formations on you that have other uses, such as formations with amplifying effects, so that you can hear the conversations of the people above."

"It can only be said to be good luck."

Liu Lan sighed with palpitations: "They didn't concentrate all their attention on the ground, otherwise, you might not be able to survive this calamity so safely."

Chen Anning and others have just arrived in the imperial city and are not familiar with many things. If they directly confront the prince...

How could Liu Yingzong, who had no good intentions, let them go so easily?

What's more...there is Liu Jiuruo, the Prince of Ruijun, who is a celebrity around the crown prince.

"Speaking of which, you have been holding back underground for quite a long time." Liu Qingqing looked at Chen Anning suspiciously: "You are obviously a mortal, so is there such a magic circle that can breathe freely underground?"

"Of course not." Gu Xun shook his head, then smiled meaningfully: "But they have their own way of breathing."

"In what way?"

Sensing Liu Qingqing's curious eyes, Chen Anning hurriedly said, "It's okay, don't ask too much."

As he spoke, he wiped the corners of his mouth to confirm that the bright red that Xiao Nianqing had left for him was completely wiped off.

——When it is difficult to breathe underground, of course I can only rely on the other party to supply myself with air...

The method of supply, of course, is only mouth-to-mouth transmission...

"so--"

Chen Anning changed the topic, and looked at Liu Lan seriously: "What did they say about Fengyueya just now?"

"That's another problem."

Feeling a headache, Liu Lan supported her forehead, and then said: "In half a month, it will be Father's birthday, and every time Father's birthday is celebrated, there will be Fengyueya Club to add to the fun. "

"If nothing else happens—"

Liu Lan raised her head and looked at Chen An Ning with some despair: "I have to appear at that time, and you, as my teacher, as the princess and young master..."

"You must also participate in this Fengyue Yahui hosted by the emperor."

279. Can I also meet acquaintances here? ?

Fengyue Yahui, Shengshang's birthday.

For Liu Lan, troubles can be said to come one after another.

In the past, the birthday of the Holy One was just a happy banquet. At most, it was a place where members of the royal family competed with each other and showed off each other to win the favor of the Holy One.

Only this birthday is different.

Because the prince has the intention of treason.

This birthday is also a side battle. All members of the royal family, no matter the prince or county king, must come to participate in the birthday of the Holy Majesty, and the prince will surely take this opportunity to consolidate his own power and investigate those who are against him. Or someone who is neutral.

Those who stand beside the prince will naturally show their performance on the birthday.

Those who oppose the prince will also take this opportunity to gather forces.

Among the current members of the royal family, the second prince, third princess, and fifth princess are all confirmed to be on the opposite side of the prince.

The fourth prince, who is young and cowardly, is still vacillating and is in a neutral state.

Although on the surface, it seems that the prince alone is hostile to the second prince and others, but in fact, the prince has already gathered many county princes and princes, and the second prince and others even feel weak and weak.

There is quite a trend that the second prince, third princess and others have only three bad cards in their hands, but the crown prince has seventeen cards in his hand.

Unfortunately, Chen Anning was one of the bad cards that the third princess thought she was holding.

"It's troublesome now."

Liu Lan tapped the stone jade table with a headache, "If it is found that you have no talent at the Fengyue Yahui, the prince and the others will also use this as an excuse to remove your status as the princess and young master. What will be done to you then? Regardless of the crime, what is certain is that you and your relatives will no longer be able to stay in the imperial city under proper conditions."

After saying that, Liu Lan raised her head, and her eyes fell on Xiao Yan and Gu Xun.

She can feel that the cultivation of these two people is not bad, but she can't be sure about the specifics.

Liu Lan had heard from Liu Qingqing earlier that Chen An Ning had several highly skilled experts around him, presumably it was these experts who helped him deal with the killers sent by the prince.

Originally, Liu Lan's idea was very simple. By bringing Chen Anning under his command, he would then have the two combat powers of Xiao Yan and Gu Sun. With their looks like this, they should barely be regarded as "people who can fight".

But once Chen Anning was stripped of his status as the princess's young master, he would no longer be able to stay in the imperial city.

Be it Xiao Yan or Gu Yan, they will all be kicked out of the imperial city, and this rare combat power will also slip away from Liu Lan's hands.

"Ugh."

Liu Lan sighed, and couldn't help but look at Liu Qingqing who was beside her.

It was this girl who said just now, "When it comes to talent, Dr. Chen is no worse than Third Sister", so that Liu Lan had no room for defense afterwards.

But Liu Lan also understood that Liu Qingqing had no choice but to do it, so she didn't blame her fifth sister.

"Now we can only take one step at a time."

Liu Lan took a deep breath, with some determination in her eyes.

She looked at Chen Anning indifferently, and asked in a deep voice: "Qin chess, calligraphy and painting, four masterpieces of literature and art, what would you do?"

Literature and art?

Facing Liu Lan's question, Chen Anning thought for a while: "I understand a little bit."

Appeared, Chen Anning's "slight understanding".

The corners of Xiao Nianqing's mouth twitched, every time she heard her husband said that she understood a little, she felt that he seemed to be lying to children.

Hearing this, Liu Lan glanced at Chen An Ning, and said in her heart, "I understand a little at the level of ordinary people... it shouldn't be very good, right?" 】

"That's all." Liu Lan shook her head helplessly: "Even if you only understand a little bit, you can come with me."

After saying that, Liu Lan turned around, obviously wanting to take Chen Anning somewhere.

"Hold on."

Seeing this, Xiao Nianqing immediately grabbed Chen Anning's hand.

She stared at Liu Lan with eyes that seemed to be full of ice: "Where are you going?"
