She is the legend of the rivers and lakes

In the evening, the second prince's people found Mei Xianghan and said, "We have found Princess Qiantao's whereabouts!"

"Where?"

"Abandoned temple on the outskirts of the city!"

Knowing that it was a cover, Mei Xianghan went anyway.But before going, Mei Xianghan went back to the prison secretary and found Qi Wuzuo.

When we arrived at the outskirts of the city, night had already enveloped the whole world, except for the lights burning in the abandoned temple.

The two got off their horses, Sheng Liu protected Mei Xianghan behind him, and walked into the temple.

The main hall where the Buddha statue was originally housed had already been covered with cobwebs, and the ground was also covered with a thick layer of dust. There were no footprints on the dust. Seeing this, the two immediately became vigilant.

As soon as he entered, the stone platform on which the Buddha statue was placed moved slowly, and after a while, the secret passage behind was revealed!

Sheng Liu grabbed Mei Xianghan who was about to step forward to check, and walked over by herself.

"No one," said Sheng Liu, knocking on the wall inside the secret passage with the hilt of his sword, and listening quietly for a while, "The secret passage is very long, and I don't know where it leads."

"Go in and have a look." Picking up the candlestick that was placed aside, Mei Xianghan saw the dust trapped underneath, and knew that the candlestick was also specially prepared for them.

The secret passage was very narrow, and it was a bit difficult for the two of them to walk side by side. Sheng Liu turned his body slightly, and decided to stand side by side with her—this kind of terrain, no matter whether he walked forward or behind him, if someone wanted to attack or hide What mechanism, in Mei Xianghan's current situation, it is easy to get it.

This secret passage extends downwards, and after walking about half a mile, the first turning point appeared.

After turning the corner, we walked for about two miles before we reached the next turning.

When turning the third corner, Mei Xianghan finally realized what this familiarity was: "As expected, we have returned to the capital now."

"Do you know where it is?"

"I guess it's the second prince's mansion." Mei Xianghan said, "Other than that, it's not for him to think about."

If it really leads to the Second Prince's Mansion, it will take half an hour to walk through this secret passage.

Darkness always makes people uneasy, even Mei Xianghan is somewhat unavoidable: "Would you like to come and guess?"

"what?"

"When we get to the end, who will we see?"

Sheng Liu was also very worried, so he talked with her: "Second Prince?"

"Maybe there is Lan Xin?" Mei Xianghan said, "Before she was on the boat, she said that she would give us the antidote. I don't know if she still does it now."

"If it's her, I'm afraid she won't." There are still more than two months to go, but Sheng Liu's mentality has gradually calmed down. If there is really no antidote, it will be her life.

"Then is she easy to cheat?"

"untested."

The two chatted one after another, and the topic was once brought up from Lan Xin to Qiantao, and finally to Mei Xianghan herself.

"If something happens here, what are your plans?"

"Of course I'm marrying you!" Mei Xianghan said, "When we get married, would you like to live in Meifu together, or should we move out alone?"

"Mei Mansion is very good, uncle and aunt are all very good."

"Then we'll stay at home. Do you like cats or dogs?"

I don't like it.Sheng Liu wanted to say this at first, but when he met Mei Xianghan's eyes as bright as stars under the candlelight, he suddenly changed his words: "Dog."

"Then let's get another dog."

……

The secret passage finally came to an end, and at the end was a dark wooden door with no lock or bolt on it.Sheng Liu used a sword instead of a hand, and pushed open the wooden door.

The moment the door "squeaked" opened, the hearts of both of them rose instantly.

However, there was no one behind the door.

Frowning slightly, the two looked at each other and walked in.

It looked like a study room, with wooden shelves full of books.Pulling out a copy, Mei Xianghan flipped through it twice, and handed it to Sheng Liu.

"This is……!"

In addition to the wooden door in the secret passage, there is another door here.The door opened, and the second prince walked in with the masked Lan Xin: "Meet you again, Mei Tutou."

Pretending to be surprised, Mei Xianghan asked: "How could it be Your Highness?! Where is the princess? Is the princess okay!"

"Qiantao is sleeping in my house right now, it's fine." The second prince said, "I'm sorry to have tricked Miss Mei over in this way."

"Why?" Mei Xianghan asked, "Isn't Qiantao His Highness's biological sister?"

The second prince said: "Someone wants to see you, only in this way, you are willing to come here. I thought I could lure you here with an antidote, but unfortunately it seems to have failed."

"who?"

The door opened again, and in came a man wearing a mask and a toga—presumably to conceal his figure.

The second prince rushed to the person and cupped his fists: "Mr. Ruan."

Nguyen?Which Nguyen?Is it the name of the former dynasty?Mei Xianghan carefully looked at the person who came, wondering if it was the one she had guessed.

Mr. Ruan opened his mouth, but his voice was different from normal people, and he was obviously hiding something: "Do you want to know your real life experience?"

As expected!Mei Xianghan was a little fortunate that she went to the emperor and confessed everything, otherwise, if she didn't know the secret, she might not be able to calm down at all at this moment, and then she would be led away by this group of people.

"Me? What is my background?" Mei Xianghan cast her eyes on the second prince, "Your Highness, who is this Mr. Ruan?"

"Miss Mei, keep listening and you'll find out."

"Miss Mei, does she know anything about Da Ruan at the previous court?"

Mei Xianghan nodded: "I learned something from the history books."

"The last emperor of the Ruan Dynasty was extravagant, tyrannical and immoral, and the world was miserable. Later, the Liu family revolted and overthrew the tyranny of the previous dynasty, and changed the dynasty..." Mr. Ruan said, "Is this what is written in the history books?"

"nature."

"But is that really the case?"

Mei Xianghan didn't speak, but just looked at him with a slightly relaxed expression.

Mr. Ruan also said: "Actually, the last emperor of the Nguyen Dynasty was not really wanton and tyrannical. In terms of governing the country, he may lack talent, but he is an extremely kind person. The last emperor of the previous dynasty reigned for thirteen years, and the harem Nothing came out, because he was too kind and didn't want to see his sons kill each other, so he decided to place Zen on his younger brother."

"His younger brother is not interested in governing the country, so he rejected him, and after returning the military power, he traveled around alone. However, at this time, the Liu family rebelled!"

"What does this have to do with me?"

"The Liu family rebelled, and the war lasted for three years. In the year when the capital was captured, a concubine secretly gave birth to the last emperor's only heir, a princess."

"You don't mean to say, this child is me?"

"Yes, it's you."

"Wait a minute..." The second prince stopped the conversation between Mr. Ruan and Mei Xianghan, "Mr. Ruan, why is this rhetoric different from what you told me before?!"

Lan Xin on the side was also stunned: "What? You said she was the former princess?"

Obviously, Mr. Ruan used two sets of rhetoric.

"She is the real former princess." Mr. Ruan affirmed.

Lan Xin suddenly broke down, lifted the veil, and asked, "Then what am I?! A substitute? An abandoned child who was abandoned when I came back from the real product?"

The second prince was also dumbfounded: "Mr. Ruan, what does this mean? If she is the former princess, then..."

Mr. Ruan raised his hand and directly tapped the acupuncture points of the two of them. The strike was so fast that Sheng Liu couldn't help but twitch his brows—this man's martial arts are even better than hers!

Mei Xianghan's eyes were sharp, and she saw the hand protruding from under his sleeve, with a green wrench on the thumb.

It's Lan Xuan!When did he enter Beijing? !Was it before or after Master's letter?Why didn't Master hear any news?Didn't even Master notice it?How far has Lan Xuan's martial arts reached? !

"Then how do I prove that you didn't lie to me?" Mei Xianghan regained her composure and said, "After all, the second prince also said just now that Mr. Ruan prepared two sets of arguments, which one should I believe?"

"You look exactly like your mother." As he spoke, Lan Xuan threw a painting out of his wide sleeve, unfolded it, and floated the painting in the air with his true energy, keeping his hands in his sleeves.

The woman in the painting is wearing a former court dress. Judging from the color and pattern, the status is not very high.The woman turned her face slightly, as if admiring the flowers, smiling sweetly and looking forward to her beautiful eyes.

It is indeed six points similar to Mei Xianghan.

Mei Xianghan's pupils dilated unconsciously, and then returned to their original state, but his tone was a bit unnatural: "How do I know if you found someone to draw this painting for the purpose of making a scene?"

Lan Xuan kept staring at her, naturally not letting go of the slightest change.

He smiled, and his disguised voice was very harsh: "You have been in and out of the palace since you were young, and you should have seen similar scrolls in the palace, right? You can't find the paper used for portraits of concubines in the palace. The ones you got, especially the paper used in the palace of the previous dynasty. You should have seen what the drawing paper in the palace of the previous dynasty looked like, so you can tell if you touch it?"

The painting flew towards this side, Mei Xianghan raised his hand, and caught the painting.The painting paper is very delicate to the touch, and it is indeed the same quality as the scroll paper left over from the previous dynasty that she had seen in the palace when she was a child.

Sheng Liu also leaned over to look at the woman in the painting carefully.

Lan Xuan said again: "She is a native of Ningcai, the last emperor of the previous dynasty, and she was born in the Liu family in Jiangnan."

The astonished expressions of the two were caught in Lan Xuan's eyes.

Lan Xuan seemed very satisfied, and nodded almost invisible, but it also fell into the eyes of the two of them.Now, the competition is that whoever has more information has more initiative.

"Do you believe it now?"

"I... am I really the former princess?"

"I've been looking for you." Said, Lan Xuan took off the mask on his face.

Mei Xianghan's expression was very surprised, so surprised that familiar people thought it was exaggerated: "Master Lan! Why is it you! Could it be that you are..."

"That's right, I'm the leader of the Peony Sect." Lan Xuan took advantage of her surprise, "I'm also your uncle, King Pingnan from the previous dynasty."

Mei Xianghan asked: "Since that's the case, you can be the emperor yourself, why did you find me?"

"As I said, I'm not interested in the throne, I'm only interested in martial arts and refining medicine."

"Then why do we have to restore the country? The change of dynasty is not the only time."

"If the emperor's brother is wild, obscene, fatuous and violent, even if the dynasty changes, I won't say a word. But now the world of the Liu family was obtained by taking advantage of people's danger!" Lan Xuan's tone gradually became agitated, "If Without the Liu family, this world should be yours at this moment! How come you are like now, subservient to others, and become a court eagle dog in the eyes of the world? Being reviled by others."

Mei Xianghan's expression changed slightly.

Lan Xuan continued: "If you snatch back the throne that should belong to you, let alone marrying a woman, or marrying dozens of women, Sangong Sixth Court, no one can stop you—the whole world is full of love. In your hands, everything is up to you!"

"You can't talk nonsense," Mei Xianghan said quietly, "I only want Miss Liuliu alone."

"Sanqiu on Shengliu, do you really want an antidote?"

"Isn't she from your Wuyin Villa?" Mei Xianghan took the opportunity to ask, "Why did you poison her?!"

"It's Lan Xin's own decision." Lan Xuan spread his hands and untied Lan Xin's acupuncture points by the way.

The first thing Lan Xin did was to yell at her, and she had long since lost her ladylike appearance when they met: "So you lied to me for so many years, just to restore the country in a legitimate way when you can't find her?!"

"Naturally." Lan Xuan seemed completely ignorant of her collapse, "The members of the Holy Cult and the former dynasty also need a legitimate belief."

"Then why did you let me marry the second prince! You found her early tomorrow, why do you continue to use me?!"

Although the second prince's acupuncture points were pressed at this moment, he couldn't move or speak, but his eyes obviously wanted to know why Lan Xuan still did this.

"If it wasn't for you, why would the second prince take the bait?" Lan Xuan laughed wildly, "Using the throne as bait, I fell into a big fish. The big fish thought that the throne really belonged to him, but never thought about it. Since I am How could he be willing to send a descendant of the Liu family to sit on the throne of the 'remnants of the previous dynasty'?"

Although she didn't know the previous situation, but hearing this, Mei Xianghan probably guessed it.

Lan Xuan pretended to use the marriage to attract the second prince who wanted to usurp the throne, probably because he set the conditions for him to be the emperor and Lan Xin to be the queen. With the help of the second prince, he recruited troops and expanded the power except for the peony disciples and the former court.

By the way, he also borrowed the second prince and Qian Tao to lure himself to meet him.

"Now you know everything," Lan Xuan said, "You have two choices. First, become the princess of the previous court who has been echoed by everyone, overthrow the Liu family, and take back the world that should belong to our Lan family. Of course, Sheng Liu The poison on her body will naturally be cured by her; after you ascend the throne, you can marry her with our Da Ruan's highest etiquette."

"What about two?"

"Reject me and die here."

"Do you know who my martial arts master is, and you are sure that you can let me die here?" Mei Xianghan raised her eyebrows and asked back.

Lan Xuan said: "There's no need to pretend, I know you're really depressed and can't be lucky. Sheng Liu alone can't beat me."
