Shaking his head and laughing, Lan Ye took out a silver ingot worth five taels from his bosom.Put it in the man's palm.

Staring at the silver ingot in his palm, Shumin Zishu frowned dissatisfied.

"You don't think it's too little, do you? I only carry so much on me. If you think it's too little, I'll..."

Woohoo, he's just an abandoned concubine with no savings.These five taels are already a large part of his savings.

"That's not what I want." Shaking his head, Shumin Zishu interrupted him.

At any rate, he is also a majestic king of a country, no matter how poor he is, he will not ask a palace man for money, right?This little family must think him too useless, right?

"Then, do you want..." Hearing that he didn't want money, Lan Ye was slightly startled.What do you want if you don’t want money?Isn't a bribe just money?Could it be that I have misunderstood it?

"Rope, the rope you used to tie me as a hostage last time." The rope that puzzled Shumin Zishu, the strong and durable rope, the rope that tied the memories of the two of them, that is what he wants.

"Rope?" Blinking, Lan Ye couldn't believe it. It turned out that what he wanted was the silk rope.

"Here you are." After being silent for a long time and thinking for a long time, Lan Ye finally exchanged his own rope for the ingot of silver in the man's hand.

After taking the rope, Shumin Zishu put it in his arms with satisfaction. "Can you answer a question for me?"

Hearing this, Lan Ye smiled.As if he had already thought about what he would ask, Lan Ye spoke first: "After I answer your question, can I ask you one thing?"

"Yes." Staring at the preoccupied little beauty in front of her, Shumin Zishu frowned slightly, remained silent for a long time, and finally compromised.

"Excuse me." Lan Ye said softly, looking at the man across from him.

"How did you find the secret passage in the secret room and leave Xiyuan?"

This question has always troubled Shumin Zishu.He clearly remembered that he just brought the person into the secret room, and he didn't tell the person that the mechanism to open the secret passage was in the secret room.He also did not give any hints and guidance.But, why was this little guy able to find the mechanism by himself and leave Xiyuan through a secret passage?

"You told me." Smiling, Lan Ye replied confidently and calmly.

"I told you?" Hearing this, Shumin Zishu couldn't help being full of doubts. Did he say that?Why can't he remember it himself?

"To be precise, it was your eyes, your eyes gave me a hint. I still remember that when you took me into that secret room, the first thing you saw was the east wall. Even, in my Even after falling asleep, your gaze stays on that wall.

Also, that secret room.The secret room was very simple, with no food, no bedding, and no gold, silver or jewelry hidden.Only the dead grass in that place.That is, neither people nor treasures can be hidden.So, what is such a secret room for?The answer is that it is a resting place in transit.And not the end of the secret passage.

As for the mechanism that opens the secret passage, it is not a very complicated mechanism.I just got it right by luck. "

After hearing Lan Ye's narration, Shumin Zishu nodded in understanding. "So that's the case. It seems that I underestimated your ability."

From the first time she saw this little guy, Shumin Zishu knew that this little guy was by no means comparable to those frizzy little palace people in the palace.Calm and witty, calm and decisive, and there is always a hint of confidence in his eyes that will not admit defeat or admit defeat.He is the most capable palace man Shumin Zishu has ever met.

However, in the end, Shumin Zishu still underestimated the IQ of this little guy.

"What do you want to ask?" The king said nothing.Since Shumin Zishu had already promised the little guy first, how could Shumin Zishu break his promise?

"The west study room is inaccessible. Why, did you come here at night?"

Although, he is the general manager of the West Study, the head of the place.However, as he said, no one would come to this west study room on weekdays. Even if he had some books to sort out, he would still have enough time during the day, so why would he come here in the middle of the night and give himself a gift for no reason? What about overtime? ? ?

"Well, do you want to hear the truth?" After a moment of silence, Shumin Zishu asked softly.

"Naturally." Although the lies are beautiful and moving, the ugly truth is often more convincing than the beautiful lies.

Although, the age of this body is 19 years old.However, his heart has already lived past the age of dreaming.Therefore, for Lan Ye, the ugly truth is more lovely and useful than the gorgeous lies.

"This morning, I came directly to the west study from the secret passage. Here, I found traces that belonged to you. So, I made a special trip here to wait for you." As he spoke, Shumin Zishu shook the piece in his hand, The small piece of light blue rag found in the corner of the bookshelf in the morning.

Staring at the rag in the man's hand, Lan Ye laughed dumbly. "I see."

"Are there any questions?" Shumin Zishu asked in a low voice, looking at the person in front of him with a smile.

Shaking his head lightly, Lan Ye said that he had no doubts.Picking up the book in his arms, he just sat on the ground, leaning against the bookshelf, and read it decently.

Standing aside, looking at the little palace man who was fascinated by reading, Shumin Zishu's eyes were stained with joy.
