The courtyard is deep in spring

Chapter 160 The mastermind behind the scenes
But if you listen carefully, it doesn't seem to belong to one person.

Ye Zhaoqing's face turned red all of a sudden.

But at this moment, Murong Shen suddenly stood up.

Ye Zhaoqing glanced at him in surprise, and said, "What do you want to do?"

"I'll find some food, otherwise you two won't be able to last until tomorrow." Murong Shen replied, turned around and walked to the entrance of the cave, pushing away the dense vines and branches at the entrance of the cave.

"Those people haven't gone far, you want to go up, isn't it risky?" Ye Zhaoqing stood up immediately.

Murong Shen looked back at her, in fact, he couldn't see anything clearly in the dark cave, but he knew that Ye Zhaoqing must be looking at him.

"Don't worry, I'm not going up. During the day, I saw a fruit tree growing a few feet away from the cave, with red fruits on it. I'll pick some for you to eat."

Saying that, without waiting for Ye Zhaoqing to answer, he jumped out of the hole on his own.

"Ah!" Liu'er exclaimed again and again, and turned her head to look at Ye Zhaoqing who was about to speak, but at this moment, she saw Ye Zhaoqing suddenly raised his feet and ran towards the entrance of the cave.

At this moment, Liu'er suddenly felt weird.

The lady of their family is actually worried about Mr. Tai Tuo?
Ah bah, her lady is worried about many people, such as the prince.

Thinking about it, Liu Er's face collapsed again.Although Ye Zhaoqing was also worried about the prince, Liu'er could tell the difference between the two worries.

But what is the difference?She couldn't figure it out.

I also don't understand.

Ye Zhaoqing didn't know that her girl was studying this, she rushed to the entrance of the cave, but she couldn't see anything clearly, she hurriedly turned her head and shouted at Liu'er: "Pass me the torch!"

"Miss, if the torch appears at the entrance of the cave, we will be discovered!" Liu Er frowned.

Ye Zhaoqing fell silent immediately, but still looked at the bottom of the cliff, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a while, Murong Shen climbed up from the cliff.

Ye Zhaoqing hurriedly bent over and pulled his shoulders, pulling him up.

At this time, she saw Murong Shen's robe lifted up, and there were a lot of things bulging inside, which seemed to be quite a lot.

"This kind of fruit should be edible." Murong Shen walked back to the cave, picked a clean place, spread a veil, and put down the fruits in his arms one by one.

"It's an apple!" Ye Zhaoqing's eyes lit up when he saw the red fruit.

Apple!That is one of her favorite fruits.

"These should be enough for us to last till dawn, right?" Murong Shen put away the fruits, picked up one and handed it to Ye Zhaoqing, said.

Ye Zhaoqing nodded, took the fruit with his hand, wiped it carefully with a handkerchief, and took a big bite without caring about not washing it.

In a place like this, it doesn't matter at all.

Murong Shen threw another one to Liu'er, who was almost drooling with eager eyes, and the three of them found a clean place to sit down in this simple cave, and enjoyed this unique dinner together.

The apples are crisp and juicy, and they can be eaten as a meal and quench their thirst. They were sent by heaven to save them.

After the meal, there was nothing left and right, so Ye Zhaoqing asked Murong Shen: "When did you send the message? Can your people really find this place?"

"You don't have to worry about this." Murong Shen turned to look at her after hearing this, and said, "The signal was sent out before dark. My people, even if they are rich and hungry, can find this place in one night."

"What about after that?" Ye Zhaoqing didn't relax at all when he heard the words, and asked back: "I don't believe that those people will give up arresting easily. If you have few people, then you will only be caught by the same pot when you get here."

"Don't worry about that." Murong Shen said with a confident smile on his face, "Today they caught them off guard, but tomorrow will be different. Those people don't dare to confront us, do they? Is it? This shows that the masters behind them are very afraid of you and me, so they will use all their tricks."

After hearing this, Ye Zhaoqing thought carefully for a while, and felt that what Murong Shen said was quite right, but she still had a lot of questions in her heart. She picked and picked for a long time, and finally asked the one she wanted to know the most.

"Who is the master behind them?"

After hearing this, Murong Shen raised his eyes to look at Ye Zhaoqing, and said with a smile: "This person is easy to guess, you have already expected it a little bit, haven't you?"

"You mean, the third prince?" Ye Zhaoqing said hesitantly: "But I don't understand, why would he harm us? What good will the prince's death do him?"

"Of course the benefits are indispensable." Murong Shen heard this and said slowly: "The emperor has been on the throne for more than 20 years, and the only adult prince under his knees is the prince. The rest are either waiting to be fed or wearing crotch pants. There will be no more crown princes. As the emperor's only surviving younger brother, can this status not be honored?"

"That's not necessarily true." Ye Zhaoqing shook his head immediately when he heard the words: "The emperor is old, even if the crown prince falls, he can't let this position be empty, so don't say anything about waiting for food. May be crowned prince."

"With the false name of a prince, they are afraid that they will die sooner." Murong Shen sneered, raised his eyes to look at Ye Zhaoqing, and said word by word: "Do you really think that so many children of the emperor who died young are all Cursed by Prince Huai and his son?"

"Impossible! It's all nonsense!" Ye Zhaoqing's face suddenly changed when he heard his father's name being mentioned.

Murong Shen stared at her closely, refusing to let go of every inch and every expression on her face.

"I also believe that is nonsense." He said: "But the emperor believes it, and the common people in the world also believe it."

Ye Zhaoqing's face was gloomy and terrifying for a moment.

However, Murong Shen read a deep sorrow from this anger, and he finally couldn't help it: "The truth will not be buried forever, there will always be a day when the truth comes out! Please believe me, everything can be saved, and there is still hope." In time!"

"What can I do in time? My father, queen, mother and concubine are dead, my younger brother, everything I have, no longer exists!" Ye Zhaoqing sneered instantly: "Murong Shen, you don't need to pretend to be a good person!"

Liu'er stood aside, and when she heard the words "father, queen, mother and concubine" from Ye Zhaoqing's mouth, her eyes widened in horror.

What are they talking about?Why can't she understand a word?
Miss is Miss?How can you call someone else's father, queen, mother and concubine?It seems that which princess called her parents?

Reminiscent of what the two said, and the Huai Palace that was destroyed more than ten years ago, Liu Er shivered all over.

She felt a tinge of fear.

But at the next moment, she said to herself, it doesn't matter, a lady is a lady, no matter who she is, no matter what she does, she just needs to follow her closely and do what a loyal maid should do.

"I didn't pretend to be a good person in front of you. You know this better than anyone else." Murong Shen raised his brows and glanced at Ye Zhaoqing, and said in a calm tone: "I don't need to explain so much to you, I just tell you, three If the prince's plan fails, it will be the end of your father."

Ye Zhaoqing trembled when he heard the words!
She suddenly raised her eyes to look at Murong Shen, and in the other's dark eyes, she clearly saw her own reflection.

The red nose, the bright eyes, the corners of the mouth curled up, with deep stubbornness, this is the true portrayal of her now.

"You mean, the third prince is the one behind the conspiracy?" Ye Zhaoqing asked with great difficulty.

Murong Shen nodded when he heard the words, and said: "I already have a lot of evidence to prove that so many princes who died young in the palace have unclean connections with the Third Prince."

"You, do you have evidence?" This time it was Ye Zhaoqing's turn to be surprised.

Murong Shen nodded, glanced at her and said: "Now, can you admit that you are Princess Anning?"

Liu'er, who was quietly acting as an invisible person, suddenly yelled out.

The next moment, she tightly covered her mouth.

Ye Zhaoqing didn't look back, under Murong Shen's gaze, she felt her neck was a little stiff.

"It doesn't matter if you don't admit it, but I believe you are her." Murong Shen said, glanced at her and said, "When I go to Liangzhou, I will show you something important. You will be happy."

"Happy?" Ye Zhaoqing looked at Murong Shen with some doubts after hearing the words: "Master Taifu, don't talk too much, there are not many things in this world that can make me happy at all."

Murong Shen smiled lightly when he heard the words, looked at the densely packed vines at the entrance of the cave, and the dark night sky, and said: "You guys rest! I will keep watch for you." Then he walked towards the entrance of the cave, bent over and sat down there .

Seeing this, Liu'er immediately showed a trace of nervousness.

The two girls' families actually live in the same hole with this man Murong Shen?
But right now there seems to be no other choice.

"Miss..." Liu'er glanced at Ye Zhaoqing nervously.

However, Ye Zhaoqing ignored her, looked around the hole, and saw some straw on the left side of the wall, she walked over and took it: "Great, with it we can use it tonight." Have a good night's sleep."

"Miss!" Liu'er wanted to ask if you were able to sleep?But out of the corner of his eye, he saw Murong Shen who looked like a stone statue at the entrance of the cave, and swallowed those words.

"Okay, don't think so much." Ye Zhaoqing cast a sideways glance at Liu'er, and said, "Master Tai Tuo's skills are very good, but he can't sleep on a tree by the cliff? Let him Stay here!"

"But……"

"Not so much!" Ye Zhaoqing interrupted Liu'er, frowned slightly, and said, "Okay, spread the straw quickly, let's sleep!"

"Yes, Miss." After Ye Zhaoqing said so, Liu'er could only helplessly agree.Together with Ye Zhaoqing, they laid out the straw in the inner part of the hole to form a bed.

They left in a hurry, the clothes and salutes were all in the carriage, there was no other way, the two of them could only lie down with their clothes on.

Maybe it was because of the exhaustion all day, Ye Zhaoqing fell asleep as soon as he lay down.

But at this moment, Murong Shen who was sitting at the entrance of the cave slowly turned his head.
