【Two hundred and one】Prince is coming
In the empty secret room, the echo gradually calmed down until it returned to peace.
Jiang Chengjia finally got rid of Mu Yun's chanting, so he immediately hid aside. Yu Guang saw Cheng Mian's pale face, and then walked over with a little embarrassed look, and whispered: "Mr. Cheng Xiaolang, I'm sorry just now."
Tang Qu stretched his neck to quarrel with the girl, but was gently stopped by Cheng Mian. The man was as gentle as jade, with a gentle look and said to her softly: "It's okay, Miss Jiang doesn't need to apologize."
Jiang Chengyi looked at the scene silently, stepped forward to interrupt, and said to Chengmian Juli, "I wonder what the little man in the city led us here?"
Cheng Mian then came to his senses from the shock just now. He patted Tang Qu's hand and signaled the person behind him to push the wooden wheel forward.
Tang Qu did as he pushed Cheng Mian to the front of the secret room. The husband sitting on the wooden wheel stretched out his hand, groped in the air for a while, grabbed a rope hanging from the top of the beam, and pulled it hard.
Everyone held their breath and stared at his movements with concentration, not daring to relax for a moment.
The secret room fell into a terrible silence. After a long time, a loud sound suddenly came from the secret room. Then they saw that the stone wall in front of them that blocked the center of the secret room slowly moved to the right and gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.
Behind the stone wall, what appears is the other half of the secret room.
A strong light came, and everyone got used to the darkness, so they subconsciously closed their eyes. After slowly getting used to it, they barely opened their eyes.
The scene in front of him shocked Jiang Chengyi and Mu Yun. It was clearly a secret room, but it was only separated by a wall, but it was very different. The furnishings here were orderly, with golden dragons and phoenixes, mandarin tails hanging along the top of the beam, a row of tassels like the moon hanging along the top of the beam. Below the tassels, a sweet and strange fragrance wafted out. The smell was similar to the fragrance in the inn guest room, but it was different. Looking to the right side of the green stove, you saw a fairy-like atmosphere surrounded by clouds and mist, standing there, bordering the bluestone wall around the secret room, adding a sense of nobility and mystery.
On the left side of the secret room, four velvet gold pads with orchid carvings and jade trees are placed in sequence. The middle is a long table made of sandalwood and peacock carvings.
On the top of the beam against the wall of the secret passage, a very small window was opened, revealing a little bright color. However, this bright color seemed optional in front of a row of candlelights lit beside the screen, and was not easy to attract attention.
Cheng Mian didn't know what everyone looked like, but when he heard the silence in the secret room, he knew that the people behind him were all very surprised.
Jiang Chengyi stared at the furnishings and visits in the secret room, feeling extremely familiar. This place was clearly exactly the same as the placement of the main house in the Prince's Hall. His eyes paused, and he looked at Cheng Mian with a strange look, and he felt a little trembling in his heart in addition to being surprised.
He had never cared about the eldest son of General Cheng. Now, although this person was seriously ill, his mind was unpredictable. When Jiang Chengyi saw this secret room, he knew in his heart that although Cheng Mian had no too much contact with the prince on the surface, he had been in contact with the East Palace. When he came, he observed that the secret passage leading from the inn to the secret room seemed to be all the way to the end, but in fact it was well connected, like a dense net, and I don’t know how many places it covered in the capital.
Such construction will require huge manpower, material resources and time, which is enough to prove that Cheng Mian has already started planning for the East Palace since a long time ago.
In front of the people, he was a sick and cunning young man who stayed in the medicine hall all day long and had no freedom to move. In the back of the people, he built such shocking, incredible secret passages and secret rooms, and almost grasped the dynamics of all parts of the capital. His true strength is probably incalculable.
Just as he was thinking deeply, Cheng Mian said to everyone softly: "Everyone, please come in first. Today, there is another distinguished guest who has not arrived, and we need to wait for a while."
Jiang Chengjia took the lead in stepping into the secret room and pulled Mu Yun over.
Tang Qu pushed Cheng Mian and slowly walked to the seat on the left of the chief clerk's seat. Jiang Chengyi looked at him silently, followed him, and sat next to him. Jiang Chengjia and Mu Yun sat opposite the men.
The four of them quietly waited for the arrival of the most noble guest.
At this moment, the stone wall of the secret room rumbled again, inserted it horizontally in the center of the secret room, dividing it into two.
Mu Yun sat motionlessly, smelling the fragrance floating in the secret room, and after enduring it for a long time, he finally couldn't hold it in. He asked curiously: "Mr. Cheng Xiaolang, please forgive me for being abrupt. I don't know what fragrance you... are pointing in the green furnace? This smell is sweet and not greasy, the fragrance is scented, it smells very pleasant... It makes people feel refreshed, and the fatigue is relieved, which is very magical."
Cheng Mian's expression paused slightly, then she raised a faint smile and did not answer immediately.
Jiang Chengyi thought Mu Yun asked too suddenly, and Cheng Mian felt a little uncomfortable, so he quickly explained: "Don't mind, my wife loves spices, so she asked about this."
Cheng Mian said, "No problem. Brother Jiang and Mrs. Jiang don't be nervous. I'm just a little surprised. Miss Jiang, I really understand you."
These words made Jiang Chengyi and Mu Yun stunned, and looked at Jiang Chengjia with confusion and frowned.
Cheng Mian continued, "This fragrance was made by Miss Jiang personally directed my subordinates to make the fragrant Xiangnu. Mrs. Ruojiang wanted to ask me for the recipe, so it would be better to ask Ling Mei, as it would be faster."
Mu Yun said in surprise: "A Luo, is this fragrance you deserve? Ah Luo? Aren't you... not good at this? Such sweet fragrance is rare in the world, and it has the miraculous effect of calming the mind and relieving fatigue... Why are you...?"
Jiang Chengjia laughed dryly and said, "Mr. Cheng Xiaolang really praised me. I found the prescription for this spice in ancient books. The one who really matched this fragrance and worked it into is the amazing fragrant slave under Cheng Xiaolang. It is not me."
Mu Yun asked: "When did you have such a spice recipe? You didn't tell me?"
Jiang Chengjia quietly grabbed her arm and smiled and said, "I won't tell you, but this ancient book is also owned by the fragrant slave of the little husband of the city. I just read it briefly and picked out this fragrance."
Mu Yun nodded suspiciously, and felt that something was wrong with her words, but no matter how much she thought about it, she couldn't figure it out.
Jiang Chengyi, who was sitting opposite, noticed the abnormality and asked: "Aluo, have you been secretly out on your back with someone from the mansion in the past two days?"
Jiang Chengjia looked embarrassed and smiled awkwardly and politely, "Hehe, I still discovered my brother. I did... sneak out in the middle of the night. However, I walked on a small road, and let the breeze and dozens of guards accompany me. There was no accident or no trace of people. Don't worry about this. I am fully prepared! Without these, I would never dare to leave the house alone."
Mu Yun acted as if to scold him, but was stopped by Jiang Chengyi and said, "Forget it, nothing happened to her. Please say less, there is someone else here."
Mu Yun gave up and closed his mouth in disappointment.
Cheng Mian smiled but said nothing, silently listening to the conversation between the people in front of him, feeling very warm, and whispered to the gentleman: "Miss Jiang is also kind-hearted. One is to discuss major events with me. The other is to help you relieve your fatigue. Don't blame her for two."
"I have heard of Brother Jiang's affairs that have been spent in the East Mansion Department all day long. In order to find out the case of Deng's family, you must be extremely exhausted and exhausted despite your old injuries. And Mrs. Jiang, you, who are in charge of the huge Jiang Mansion and taking care of the sick girl Jiang, must be very tired. When Miss Jiang learned that I had an extremely powerful Xiangnu, she asked me to prepare spices for you and the two of you to relieve your mind."
He explained the whole story.
After hearing this, Mu Yun's anger slowly subsided. He looked at Jiang Chengjia helplessly and blamed him softly: "It's okay if Mr. Cheng pleads with you. But, don't be willful again next time."
Everyone looked at each other and smiled, breaking the original strangeness and embarrassment, and the atmosphere gradually became gentler and warm.
Just as the four of them were about to talk about something and spend their time, footsteps came from another corridor leading to the secret room. Immediately afterwards, the stone door between the corridor and the secret room was pushed open from the outside.
A young man walked inside with his brisk steps.
Everyone looked in the sound and saw Prince Ning Wuheng standing beside the glass screen with his hands behind his back, looking at them calmly.
Mu Yun was extremely surprised when he saw the prince appearing in the secret room. On the other hand, Jiang Chengyi, who was beside him, seemed to have expected it. Not surprising. He immediately stood up, walked forward in two steps, saluted to the young man, "I will see His Highness the Prince. Your Highness, you will be safe."
Seeing this, Ning Wuheng hurriedly stepped forward and helped him up, saying respectfully: "Why should the teacher do this? This is privately, you don't have to give this great gift in front of this palace!"
Jiang Chengyi insisted on completing the ceremony: "Your Highness, the ceremony cannot be abolished. You are the king and I am the minister. I must worship you."
Seeing that he refused to get up, Ning Wuheng had to retreat and wait for his courtesy to finish.
The two girls on the side also bowed to the young man with the steps of the husband.
After a while, Jiang Chengyi put away his long sleeves and retreated to one side, asking Ning Wuheng to sit down.
The boy walked forward, landed on the master's seat, cleared his throat and said, "Here is the Japanese Palace, and I can get here with the teacher. I rely on the arrangement of the Sixth Emperor and Aunt... Speaking of which, I really want to thank you very much."
After the prince finished speaking, everyone looked at Jiang Chengjia one after another.
Wherever my eyes gathered, the girl showed a gentle smile and said softly: "Your Highness, you are polite. My brother is concerned about the Eastern Palace. Although he resigned from the position of Prince and Grand Tutor, he always cared about Your Highness. I did this just to fulfill my brother's thoughts."
The prince nodded slightly, looked at Jiang Chengyi with concern, and said with concern: "I haven't seen you for several days, I don't know how the teacher is doing... Look at you, you seem to be much haggard. The students know that you are conscientious and cautious, but you should also be kind to your body."
