Wait a minute, heroine

The sun rises in the east, and the golden morning light shines on the window paper, illuminating the pen, ink, paper, inkstone and turtle ornaments on the desk.

The fluffy white bird was lying on the snack plate on the table, tilting its head in a rather awkward posture, sleeping like a piggy.

Ye Jingtang was wearing clothes in front of the bronze mirror, and could faintly hear the small words of a good wife and mother disciplining her daughter from the main room next door:

"Get up quickly, the sun is shining on your butt..."

"Master's wife, where is my bellyband..."

"Shhh! Shameless...your cousin is next door..."

"Hee~"

…

Although it's not really a family of three, it still feels very happy.

But when I think about this happiness, which should belong to the leader of Pingtian, Ye Jingtang feels a little more stressed.

I came back the night before yesterday. Because there were many things yesterday, I didn't go to visit Sanniang, who was still injured.

After Ye Jingtang got dressed, he said goodbye to Luo Nuxia and led the horse out of the yard. He wanted to go to Tianshui Bridge first and then check out Prince Wu's affairs.

But as soon as he carried the bird out of Ranfang Street, he found a fast horse galloping towards him, and sitting on it was the catcher of the black yamen, who shouted from a distance:

"Young Master Ye."

Ye Jingtang drove his horse to the front and asked:

"But Prince Jing is looking for me?"

The black yamen officer bowed his hands and said, "Prince Jing just sent a message to Mr. Ye to go to Fushou Palace immediately. He didn't explain anything."

Ye Jingtang was a little confused, but when Benben summoned him, he couldn't push it away. He could only ask Niaoniao to go to Pei's house to report that he was safe, and he flew to the imperial city.

Because it was not his first time to enter the palace, and he was familiar with the roads, Ye Jingtang parked his horse outside the imperial city, entered with a sign, walked through the palace verandah, and arrived at Fushou Palace near the Imperial Garden. .

There were relatively few people in Fushou Palace. Hongyu was waiting outside the palace gate. When she saw Ye Jingtang approaching quickly, she hurriedly stepped forward:

"Young Master Ye, you are finally here."

Ye Jingtang came to the front and looked at it for a while, but saw that there was some mud on the skirt of the palace maid, and asked:

"what happened?"

Hongyu took Ye Jingtang to the palace, explaining along the way:

"Yesterday when Prince Jing and the Empress Dowager were taking a bath, they found a book. It contained a lot of secrets in the palace. The Empress Dowager spent half the night looking for it..."

When Ye Jingtang heard this, he guessed that Benben must have discovered "The Secret History of Queen Marietta". However, judging from the situation, Benben didn't get angry, and he couldn't say he was guilty. He followed Hongyu and turned left and right, arriving at the Palace of Fortune and Longevity. Sleeping hall.

Outside the originally clean and tidy dormitory, there was a pile of dirt and gravel. In a room in the side hall, several palace maids were standing, digging and shoveling the earth with hoes. A big hole had been dug in the ground.

The tall Dongfang Liren stood under the eaves of the palace, holding a book in his hand and concentrating on his study.

The plump and plump Queen Mother, wearing home clothes, looked at the big pit in the room, looking very interested.

After Ye Jingtang looked at it for a few times, he came to him and bowed his hands: "Your Highness?"

Dongfang Liren heard the sound and quickly closed the book, turned around, and raised his hand to signal:

"Night Terror Hall, is this the book you use to learn how to investigate crimes?"

Ye Jingtang nodded frankly: "Yes, the buildings in the capital are described in great detail, and His Highness can see it even after thinking about it."

Dongfang Liren felt that the things between men and women should be written in more detail, but it was really interesting to accompany the Queen Mother to search for the ruins of the past last night, so he didn't say anything and turned to indicate the room where the ground was broken:

"Many things mentioned in the book are quite accurate. It is also said that there is a tunnel below that leads to the former Crown Prince's Mansion. However, this matter is not recorded in the palace. Do you think it is true or false?"

Ye Jingtang had read "The Secret History of Queen Marie Marie" and knew that it was the tunnel used by the Queen Mother to have secret affairs. She thought about it and said:

"The Prince's Mansion in the book is near Wende Bridge. The amount of work required to dig it out from here is too great, so I feel it is not very authentic."

The Queen Mother turned around after hearing the conversation and found that the Night Terror Hall was coming. She put on a dignified and majestic manner and walked slowly up to them:

"I feel that this matter is not fabricated. Yesterday in Fengchi..."

"Queen Mother!"

Dongfang Liren was afraid that the Queen Mother would tell her about the 'mother and daughter posing' last night, so she quickly came to him and supported her like a filial daughter:

"It's very dusty here. You go back to the palace to rest first. Once it's dug out, I'll ask the Queen Mother to come over."

Naturally, the Queen Mother refused to leave: "The palace can suffocate people to death. I am here to take a look without being in the way. If you want to talk to the Night Terror Hall, just say so, and the Queen Mother will not disturb you."

Dongfang Liren's eyes were a bit strange when the Empress Dowager said something else, but it was hard to explain, so he looked at Ye Jingtang:

"I asked you to come over and help, so don't just watch."

Ye Jingtang laughed and didn't say much. He came to the room and other places, asked a few pitiful palace maids to retreat, jumped into the pit half deep, stepped on it with his feet, and then pulled out the Chilong Ring. The first knife is inserted into the soil, and the ring head is pressed down with the palm of the hand.

Cha~~

The blade of the knife seemed to be inserted into the sand, inch by inch, until it was almost submerged into the handle of the knife, and then it suddenly stopped.

Ye Jingtang felt it carefully: "There are stone slabs below, there must be something there."

As he spoke, he took the shovel and threw away the compacted soil, quickly revealing a bluestone slab.

The Queen Mother was very curious and looked at the door:

"Is there a tunnel down there?"

Ye Jingtang squatted down, tapped the stone slab with his hand, made a "dong dong~~" sound, nodded and said:

"The stone slab is about three inches thick, and it is empty underneath. It should be the tunnel."

Dongfang Liren came to the room, frowned and said: "There is a secret passage in the palace. It's not a big deal. Open it and see if it's sealed underneath."

Seeing this, Ye Jingtang threw the shovel in the house and waved his hand:

"Stand away."

Dongfang Liren was slightly confused and exited the door:

"what you do?"

Ye Jingtang felt that the stone slab was quite big, but he didn't have time to dig slowly. He stood in the pit to draw his breath deeply, then raised his palm and slapped it on the stone slab suddenly.

Bang~

Click——

Lightning-like cracks appeared on the stone slabs underfoot.

The Queen Mother felt that the soles of her feet were numb, and she quickly retreated and hid behind Dongfang Liren.

Dongfang Liren widened his eyes and reminded:

"Be careful and hurt your hand."

Ye Jingtang only used palm strikes because he was afraid of hurting his hands. He raised his energy again and struck three consecutive palm strikes:

Bang bang~

boom--

When the last palm fell, the stone slab was torn into pieces and collapsed downwards with the broken soil.

Ye Jingtang jumped up quickly and landed firmly outside the door.

Crash--

When the dust settled in the room, it was seen that a five-foot-square hole appeared in the middle of the room. Using the light from outside, the stone wall below could be seen.

Seeing this, the Queen Mother wanted to go in and take a look, but Dongfang Liren was afraid that there might be some trap, so she held her back.

Night Terror Hall waited for a moment, but saw nothing unusual, then he came to the entrance of the cave with his knife and looked inside. It was obvious that this was the end of the tunnel, and on the other side was the staircase going down. It was so dark that it was unknown where it led.

"The tunnel doesn't seem to be blocked, it just has the entrance sealed."

Ye Jingtang said, taking out the fire stick from his waist, blowing it and burning it, and then threw it deep into the tunnel.

Da da da~~

After Huo Zhezi rolled down the stairs, he rolled deeper, until he stopped, the fire was still shining:

"It looks like there are ventilation holes. You shouldn't be suffocated if you go in."

Dongfang Liren was a little surprised when he heard this, and came to take a look:

"Have you been to the tomb?"

"Um?"

Ye Jingtang raised his head, confused.

Dongfang Liren explained: "I caught a few local masters in the yamen and threw fire sticks into the tunnel. It is the habit of the local masters."

Ye Jingtang shook his head slightly, looked at the tunnel that might not have been opened for two hundred years, and asked:

"Should we just seal it, or should we go in and take a look?"

Dongfang Liren must seal the tunnel, otherwise the Empress Dowager would be in trouble if she had a whim that day and sneaked out to play.

But before sealing it, she still wanted to see where the tunnel could lead, so she said:

"Take me down and have a look."

Night Terror Hall carefully looked at the underground structure and determined that it was just a simple underground passage, so he fell into it.

Dongfang Liren asked the palace maid to bring two palace lanterns and jumped in as well.

When the Queen Mother saw this scene, she was a little unhappy. She came outside the cave entrance, lowered her head and said:

"You just leave me here?"

Knowing that the Queen Mother was idle and bored, Dongfang Liren was very curious. He checked the tunnels left and right and found nothing strange, so he flew up, hugged the Queen Mother's waist, and fell into the tunnel.

Seeing this, Hongyu wanted to jump down, but the Queen Mother said seriously:

"Just stay still. If the tunnel collapses, call someone to dig out my palace as soon as possible."

"Oh." Hongyu shrank back angrily.

For the sake of safety, Ye Jingtang did not let the two of them follow him, and raised his hand to signal:

"I'll go ahead and explore the way to make sure there's no problem. Your Highness and the empress will follow. If necessary, we'll retreat. Don't worry about me."

Dongfang Liren handed the palace lantern to Ye Jingtang, then held the lantern to protect the Queen Mother and followed behind while keeping a distance...
