The two huddled in the dark passage, not daring to come out, and only breathed a sigh of relief when the outside became completely quiet.

"Who is that person?" Song Xiaoya asked after straightening her messy hair that had been running around just now.

"That's right, sister Xiaoya, you just came here, so you're naturally not familiar with the people in the palace."

Prince William looked nervously at the entrance they had just entered, for fear that someone would break in.

After confirming that he was innocent, he answered Song Xiaoya's question seriously.

"That's my elder brother, Prince Yelu."

After hearing Prince William's answer, Song Xiaoya finally understood.It's no wonder that man's aura is different. It turns out that he is the eldest prince in the palace, the first person in line to inherit the throne.

"I see." Song Xiaoya agreed disapprovingly, but became interested in this passage that seemed to contain many secrets.

"Speaking of which, Sister Xiaoya, you are our Second Sister Wang, and only Brother Elder Wang is older than you."

Prince William looked at Song Xiaoya and said suddenly.

But Song Xiaoya's attention was not on her brother Wang, a little light at the end of the passage attracted her.

"Everyone is gone, let's go out too." Prince William pulled Song Xiaoya, wanting to leave this passage.

"Xiaoqi," Song Xiaoya grabbed Prince William and pointed to the end of the passage, "Have you ever been there?"

Looking at the light beyond the dark, endless passage, Prince William shook his head.

"Although I found this place before, I didn't go inside because it was too gloomy."

Prince William answered honestly.

Song Xiaoya's consistent professionalism doubled her interest, and she looked at Prince William with sly eyes.

"How about we go find a treasure?"

What baby can there be? !Besides, there is no treasure in the palace, why is she interested in that kind of place.

Prince William couldn't figure out what Song Xiaoya was thinking, and stood there confused.

"Let's go."

Involuntarily pulling Prince William, he walked towards the end of the passage.

As they got closer to the light, the surrounding atmosphere became more and more dignified. The sound of their footsteps and breathing seemed particularly abrupt because of the dead silence around them.

Following Song Xiaoya, Prince William felt a little uneasy.

Due to her professional habits, Song Xiaoya felt that this atmosphere was almost like returning home.

At the end of the passage is a wooden door.

And the light came out from the crack in the wooden door.

The outside of the wooden door was locked tightly with a large strong lock.

Prince William Yaoyao head.

It seems that this treasure hunt is coming to an end.

He didn't know that Song Xiaoya made a living on this.

So when he saw Song Xiaoya use a hairpin in the keyhole to turn left and right to open the lock, Prince William couldn't believe his eyes.

"That's the fun of treasure hunting."

Seeing the surprise on Prince William's face, Song Xiaoya explained simply.

Pushing open the wooden door, the two found the source of light.

It was just a kerosene lamp that hadn't been extinguished.

In the Enhai King's Palace, there are brightly lit palaces everywhere.

And this unknown dark hut, it feels strange to people.

Because, in the whole hut, there is only a cage covered with black cloth in the corner and a bowl in front of the cage.

But listen carefully, there seems to be some rustling sound coming from the cage under the black cloth.

Song Xiaoya boldly stepped forward.

"Sister Xiaoya," Prince William pulled Song Xiaoya back, he instinctively felt the danger.

"It's okay." Patting Prince William, Song Xiaoya continued to move forward.

Carefully removing the black cloth, the two saw something living in the cage that seemed to be moving.

Bringing the kerosene lamp, the two of them saw clearly what was inside.

Fire leech, one of the most poisonous insects in Enhai country.

A direct bite from it can kill an adult within minutes.

Even smelling the venom or standing a little bit can make a person bedridden.

There is currently no cure for the poison.

And the most important thing is that the poison of fire leeches is colorless and odorless, and the symptoms are just like ordinary diseases, so people can't find it out.

"Be careful!" Prince William quickly pulled Song Xiaoya aside.

He grew up in Enhai country since he was a child, so he knew a thing or two about this kind of poisonous insect.

Looking at the restless red worm in the cage, Prince William felt a chill in his heart.

Who is it that keeps such a poison in the depths of the palace.

Locking the door, the two came out into the bright outdoors.

"I want to tell my mother what I saw today, and let her stop this kind of thing." Prince William pulled Song Xiaoya and walked towards his palace.

"No, you can't tell mother." Song Xiaoya stopped him.

Thinking of that woman's seemingly graceful but in fact sinister face, Song Xiaoya decided to hide the matter first.

"We have to find that person, otherwise it's easy to startle the snake."

Song Xiaoya explained in this way.

Prince William looked at Song Xiaoya, but didn't say anything else.

From the first time he saw this woman, he instinctively wanted to believe her.

This time, he also chose to trust her judgment.

On the way back to the palace, the two met Prince Yelu again.

Seeing that she couldn't hide, Song Xiaoya felt a little uneasy, hoping that he didn't see her face clearly at that time.

Otherwise, she would be treated as a thief the first time they met, then she is really a good princess.

Fortunately, Prince Yelu did not recognize her.

He just looked at her, and then at Prince William next to him, his heart was a little clear.

"Brother," Prince William greeted his brother respectfully.

Although the previous guard was unpleasant, he still had a good impression of this elder brother.

"I think this is the princess."

Seeing Song Xiaoyan's eyebrows and eyes carved out of the same mold as Yishali, Prince Yelu spoke first.

"It's me, Brother Yelu." Song Xiaoya quickly understood the situation in front of her, and called out obediently.

This surprised Prince Yelu and Prince William a little.

"Oh... oh..." Prince Yelu replied with some embarrassment.

He used to call himself a little thief, but now he looks so cowardly, which is really funny.

Song Xiaoya's heart felt dark.

"Cough...cough..." Looking at the straightforward faces of his younger siblings, Prince Yelu finally showed the look he should have as the eldest brother.

"The princess has just come back, so she must not be familiar with the palace. William, take your sister around to get acquainted."

"Yes, brother." William answered readily.

"By the way, the princess just came back, have you met your father?"

Although it was the first time they met, and he was a girl, Prince Yelu was still wary of his sister who was in competition with him.

"Mother will take me there." Song Xiaoya replied quickly and simply.

After looking at her thoughtfully, Prince Yelu left.

"Sister Xiaoya, haven't you met your father yet?" Prince William also asked.

This is natural, not to mention the old king who has never met, even the mother who brought him back, has not seen it until now.

After hearing this, Prince William was a little ashamed.

"If I hadn't brought my sister out, such a thing would not have happened."

"It's not your fault, I came out myself."

Patting Prince William who was taller than her, Song Xiaoya comforted her.

"By the way, we must not let anyone know what we saw in that room, understand?"

Song Xiaoya instructed.

Her intuition told her that this matter was definitely not that simple.

Looking at the serious Song Xiaoya, Prince William nodded.

"Let's go and see our mother."

She came back this time to recognize her ancestors and return to her ancestors, and it was a bit unreasonable not to see her elders.

So the two brothers and sisters came to the residence of Princess Isali happily.

After going through layers of guards and maids, Song Xiaoya saw that somewhat familiar yet unfamiliar face.

Princess Isali sat dignifiedly on a luxurious chair, smiling at them like a virgin.

But how much of that smile is real and how much is fake, others don't know.

"Xiaoya, you're back," the princess said in a gentle tone, her eyes were full of concern for her daughter who had been lost for many years, "How is it, are you still used to it here?"

"To be honest, I'm not used to it."

Song Xiaoya did not see her mother and daughter meet with tears and gratitude as everyone expected, but looked directly at the noble concubine with her usual attitude, without the slightest hint of fear.

Her reaction surprised Princess Isabel, including Prince William.

"But, slowly you get used to it."

As if it was just a joke of hers just now, Song Xiaoya immediately smiled innocently and explained in a brisk tone.

The concubine's stiff face eased down.

Of course, only Song Xiaoya could detect these subtle expressions of the high-status princess.

"Don't stand there, come and sit."

Princess Isali greeted her siblings.

Obeying the will of the princess, the two came to the princess.

"Xiaoya, you don't know how hard it has been for me to find you all these years."

After Song Xiaoya sat down, Princess Yishali held her hand, and tears welled up in her blue eyes.

Song Xiaoya didn't speak, but looked into her eyes more directly, as if she wanted to see through this woman's mind.

"In short, you are back now, and I will definitely make it up to you, so that you won't suffer any more harm."

Avoiding Song Xiaoya's overly straightforward gaze, the princess took out a delicate handkerchief to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and tightened her grip on Song Xiaoya's hand.

"What did mother say?" Song Xiaoya smiled meaninglessly, "In this heavily guarded palace, who can hurt me?"

Hearing this, Princess Yisali looked at her with a slightly more complicated gaze.

The palace is tightly guarded and outsiders will never invade.

But the battle for the throne, how many bloody storms, came from the closest relatives.

Of course, she would never say these words in front of Prince William.

Besides, until now, Princess Yishali was not sure that Song Xiaoya was on her side at the moment.

Although she is her own daughter, what she reads from those identical pupils is always a sense of alienation.
