The Eighth Wise King became addicted to eavesdropping on the silly princess' thoughts

After returning to Prince Qin's Mansion, Luo Li was so angry that she drove away Prince Qin who came to Ning Xinyuan for dinner.

Amid the maids' giggles, His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin said this without showing any anger.

"I made the princess angry today, so I will punish myself by going hungry tonight! Princess, enjoy your meal slowly. I will go back to Chunfengju to rest early."

As he spoke, Prince Qin Zhao Defang walked out of Ningxin Garden with a graceful and elegant step.

His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin kept his word and indeed did not eat dinner. He just drank fragrant tea and ate a few pieces of cakes that Mo Wen had stolen from Miss Tingting.

Thinking it was about time, he got up and went into the inner room to "rest".

Yun Yi silently guarded the house, and couldn't help but smile. ...

Luo Li lay in the warm water, relaxing her body and mind.

While splashing water with her feet, she joked with the maids: "Yingchun, Siyu, guess whether Ruhua is mixing shampoo or flirting with Luo Cong now?"

Yingchun blushed, "Princess, if Sister Ruhua heard what you said, she would be so embarrassed that she would want to find a crack in the ground to crawl into."

Luo Li splashed the water with her feet and giggled.

"I just like to see you little girls who are just beginning to fall in love, with your shy rose-like appearance when it first blooms."

Siyu curled the corner of her lips!

"Miss, I'm not in love yet! I will never get married in my life. I will just stay by your side and serve you."

Luo Li was just about to teach Siyu a lesson when Hong Gu walked in with an excited look on her face.

: "Miss, we have found the mechanism at the entrance to the tunnel. It is on the wall covered by the screen outside."

Luo Li felt excited!

I don’t even need to take a bath. I just need to put on my clothes as soon as I get out of the tub.

: "Let's go! Take me to see it."

Siyu and Yingchun quickly helped her wipe the water droplets off her body and helped her put on her clothes.

Luo Li followed Hong Gu to the outer room and squatted down in front of the screen that depicted spring all year round.

Hong Gu pointed at a bead in the mouth of a wooden carved toad leaning against the wall and said, "The bead in the mouth of this toad is a bit strange. It should be the mechanism for the exit of the tunnel."

Luo Li stretched out her finger impatiently and pinched the bead and turned it around!

Siyu, who was guarding the door, shouted excitedly!

: "Miss, a secret door has opened on the east wall!"

Luo Li stood up and ran into the inner room. When she saw the secret door on the east wall facing north, she almost jumped for joy!

: "Finally found it! This tunnel will be our escape route at the critical moment!"

The King of Qin, hiding in the dark in the tunnel, sighed!

Be careful next time you eavesdrop on the princess' thoughts, and be prepared for her to run away at any time.

"Aunt Hong, let's go in and see where the exit of the tunnel is?" Luo Li ordered.

Hong Gu responded and walked into the tunnel entrance.

It was pitch black inside, and Hong Gu took out a tinder and lit a faint light.

Luo Li disliked the dim light, so she used a wisp of her spiritual consciousness to reach into space and take out a high-power flashlight.

After turning on the high-intensity flashlight, a bright beam of light shot far into the narrow tunnel.

King Qin Zhao Defang, who was hiding in a dark corner, was so frightened that he instantly used his lightness skills to float dozens of steps away and quickly hid in a secret door.

Yingchun looked at the treasure in the princess's hand in shock, wondering how this magical treasure came about? The light emitted by such a small thing was brighter and more dazzling than the lightning in the sky!

Luo Li looked at the steep steps under her feet and walked down.

Hong Gu carefully protected the young lady in front, while Siyu and Yingchun followed closely behind, protecting the young lady's back.

The master and his servants looked at the tunnel, which was more than a person tall and had walls made of bluestone, and groped their way forward.

After walking about a thousand steps, there was a wall in front of us.

Under the bright light of the flashlight, Hong Gu found a button on the wall.

After pressing the raised button, a secret door slid open silently above his head.

Hong Gu jumped onto the exit, observed the surrounding environment, leaned over and reached out to pull the young lady and Siyu Yingchun up one by one.

This is the study room of a mansion. Neatly arranged pens, inkstones and inkstones are placed on the table. There are bookshelves on both walls, and rows of books exude the scent of ink.

Several people carefully left the study and walked around the courtyard with three entrances and three exits.

There was no owner living in this yard. There was only an old gatekeeper dozing off sitting in the gatehouse.

Luo Li waved her hand, and quietly led her people back to the study.

The old gatekeeper who was dozing off in the dim light of the gatehouse immediately opened his eyes, with a gleam of light flashing in his eyes!

Prince of Qin Zhao Defang, who followed Luo Li and her servants, suddenly appeared in the gatehouse.

"Your Highness!" The old gatekeeper stood up hurriedly and saluted.

The King of Qin waved his hand and ordered in a low voice, "Old Cai! The person in front is the princess. Just pretend you don't know when she comes.

If you find that the princess wants to escape here, you should report it to the palace immediately."

The old gatekeeper took the order respectfully in a low voice!

: "I understand!"

Luo Li and her companions followed the tunnel back to Prince Qin's Mansion. When they were almost at the end, they remembered something.

"Hong Gu, didn't you say there was an exit next to the rockery in Ning Xin Yuan? Let's look for it.

A cunning rabbit has three burrows. A man as treacherous and cunning as the King of Qin must have a backup plan. This fork in the tunnel must lead to Chunfeng Residence."

The corner of Qin Wang Zhao Defang's mouth twitched as he was sneaking behind!

Would this thoughtful princess have thought that every night when she takes a bath, I would come to Ning Xinyuan from the tunnel to eavesdrop on her thoughts?

Hong Gu and a few others estimated the distance and searched carefully on the walls of the tunnel.

"Here!" Hong Gu said, pressing the mechanism on the wall.

A secret door was silently opened on the bluestone wall, and Hong Gu led the way in.

This was a narrow space. Hong Gu looked around, pushed aside a stone slab above her head, and stuck her head out.

"That's it! Miss, that's the rockery in Ningxin Garden."

With the help of Siyu and Tingting, Luo Li also stuck her head out to take a look.

Luo Li whispered to Hong Gu beside her: "Go downstairs and look for the secret passage leading to Chunfengju."

Several people searched the tunnel for a long time with high-powered flashlights but did not find a fork in the road.

Luo Li stood up helplessly, frowning slightly in confusion, "Could it be that I guessed wrong? King Qin didn't leave a fork in the tunnel leading to Chunfengju?

That shouldn't be the case! How could a treacherous and cunning man like the dog Qin Wang not leave an underground exit in the house where he lives? "

Yingchun whispered, "There are hundreds of servants sent by the Emperor in the Qin Palace. Is it possible that His Highness was afraid of being discovered by them and didn't dare to leave an exit somewhere else?"

Luo Li thought about it and realized that this was indeed a possibility, so she had to give up the idea of ​​looking for a fork in the road.

: "Go back! You are covered in dust and need to take another shower."

King Qin Zhao Defang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, secretly praising the brainless Yingchun for her stupid assist.

Finally we found the entrance to the tunnel, providing us with an escape route at a critical moment.

Luo Li took another warm bath in a happy mood, and then went to bed contentedly.
