Married a proud husband after farming

Chapter 1263 Change Your Mind
"That day in Shoukang Palace, Chu Wei searched all over the palace, just like today, and couldn't find any mechanism, but since there is a secret passage, how can there be no mechanism?"

Rong Jiu said, and went to look at the mural again: "When I saw this mural, I remembered that there was also a picture of a lady in Empress Dowager Xiao's bedroom. That's all."

Prince Yun quite agrees: "Everything in this world has flaws, even if it is the most exquisite layout, it cannot be perfect."

After finishing speaking, the two of them led the guards into the secret passage. Oil lamps were inlaid on both sides of the secret passage.

There is also a secret room in the secret passage. The secret room is empty, but looking at the imprints on the ground, there should be a lot of boxes before, but they have all been removed now.

Rong Jiu took a look, then continued to walk forward, and after about a cup of tea, a fork appeared.

Rong Jiu and Prince Yun looked at each other, and each of them chose one.

Rong Jiu chose the left side and walked for an unknown amount of time. She was so tired that she was drenched in sweat.

Seeing her gasping for breath, the imperial guards thought she was pregnant now, and persuaded: "I don't know where this secret road leads, the princess might as well rest for a while before leaving."

"Alright, let's all take a break first."

Rong Jiu nodded, stroked his stomach, and leaned against the wall to breathe.

When she stopped, Rong Jiu realized that her legs were so heavy that she couldn't even lift them up, and she walked at least half of Chang'an City.

After resting enough, the group started to walk forward again, and within half an hour, they found that there were two forked roads ahead.

Rong Jiu ordered: "You two go to the left, you two go to the right, and the others follow me and continue walking."

"Yes."

This time, after a short walk, a secret door appeared at the end of the secret passage.

Rong Jiu frowned, could it be that this secret passage leads to Shoukang Palace?

The guard went to look for the mechanism, and found that there was a stone brick on the wall of the wrong color. With a light press, the secret door slowly turned.

In the sleeping hall, Empress Dowager Xiao was lying on the bed to recover from her injuries. When she heard the sound of the secret door turning, her complexion changed drastically and she sat up straight suddenly.

This morning, before dawn, she also heard the sound of the cannon, and she also recognized that the sound of the cannon came from Panlong Mountain.

Panlong City is located on Panlong Mountain, and there was a sudden sound of cannons. It must be Rong Jiu, the evil star, who brought the cannons to bombard the city.

Empress Dowager Xiao was angry and anxious, and hurriedly sent the secret guard to Xiao's house. She had already learned of Prime Minister Xiao's arrangement. At this time, there was absolutely no chance that Prime Minister Xiao would appear in Shoukang Palace.

Sure enough, as soon as the secret door was opened, Rong Jiu was seen coming out with the guards.

The imperial guards were stunned when they saw Empress Dowager Xiao, they did not expect that this secret passage would lead to Shoukang Palace.

Rong Jiu walked all the way, found a chair and sat down, said with a smile, "I'm tired and thirsty after walking more than half of Chang'an City, so the Empress Dowager won't let people serve tea?"

Empress Dowager Xiao wished she could pounce on her and tear her apart, how could she be served tea, gritted her teeth and sneered: "Ai family's tea, do you dare to drink it?"

Naturally, Rong Jiu knew that there were still many secret guards left in the Shoukang Palace, and if Empress Dowager Xiao died, she might not be able to leave Shoukang Palace safely.

Rong Jiu smiled: "Prime Minister Xiao is dead, and now only Xiao Yu and Xiao Yan are left in the Xiao family. Before going to the prime minister's mansion, I beg my father not to implicate Xiao Yu and Xiao Yan. If I die in Shoukang Palace, Father Emperor was furious, Xiao Yu and Xiao Yan could only be buried with me."

Empress Dowager Xiao clenched her hands tightly, clutching the brocade quilt on her body, hatred flashed across her face, and there was a trace of disbelief: "You really ask Your Majesty to let Yu'er and Yan'er go?"

"Yeah," Rong Jiu nodded, and said with a smile, "but now, I've changed my mind."
