"There are people like this everywhere."

Ruyi took a deep breath. She didn't know the name of the head, but she was not afraid of him now. She raised Cao Ru's jade pendant and sneered, "Now, do you want me to salute or kneel down to the head?"

"What do you mean!"

The lackey stared at the jade pendant and didn't react for a moment, "Yan Heidou, you want to rebel?"

The person in charge frowned, walked forward and stared at Ruyi, "Why is Lord Cao's jade pendant in your hand?"

He looked Ruyi up and down, from her face to her hands.

This person is really cautious.

But Ruyi was not a careless person, and of course she took care of her hands when she was putting on makeup, so now the hands and wrists of the three men were all covered with calluses from doing rough work, and they were also men's wrists.

Therefore, this person did not notice anything unusual.

Ruyi glanced at him and said, "Because Lord Cao has taken a liking to me, he asked me to inspect all the places in the tunnel every day and check and balance you to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation and causing trouble for the Third Prince!"

She played the role of the villain to perfection.

The eldest princess was stunned.

Does she have this side?

Ruyi was actually also embarrassed because she was not good at it.

But isn't this the role she is playing now?

If something goes wrong, it will be more trouble than gain.

But fortunately, the person in charge was really scared.

The head of the priest hall was stunned at first, but then he nodded with an insincere smile, "Is that so? Then go check it out."

Finally, he even followed and said, "You may not be familiar with the place below. I will accompany Brother Yan there."

“…Alright.”

Ruyi couldn't refuse because she was really unfamiliar with it. "Oh, Lord Cao said that the following situation should be written down and submitted to him. I'm not very familiar with it. Can you explain it to me?"

As he said this, he glanced at the person in charge and said, "You must write down every detail. Otherwise, if you don't write it clearly, you will be held responsible if you are held accountable!"

The person in charge was so angry that he wanted to die.

Originally, he was in charge of this place from the beginning. No matter how you look at it, he made the greatest contribution to the Third Prince's ascension to the throne. But he didn't expect that when the matter was about to be completed, someone would pop up to take over?

But Ruyi understood people's hearts, patted his arm and said: "Don't worry, although Lord Cao wants to use me, it's not because of this. After the matter is done, I will have my own things to do, and all the credit here is yours."

"really?"

The boss's depressed mood disappeared in an instant, and he looked at Ruyi with a smile on his face.

"Why would I lie to you?"

Ruyi snorted, looking up at him, "I don't care about your trivial things now. From now on, I will always be by the Third Prince's side!"

The person in charge looked at her and wanted to hit someone, but she pretended to be so.

However, as long as it doesn't affect him, everything is fine, and you can even try to curry favor with him in advance.

So, he cupped his hands and smiled like a Maitreya Buddha, "Then I would like to congratulate Master Yan in advance! When you become successful in the future, don't forget me!"

"It depends on your performance."

Ruyi gave him a look.

"Come on, let me show you around. This side is where the people who dug the tunnel live. There's a section of road over there that hasn't been dug through yet. It's mainly because there's the imperial palace above and we don't want to alert the enemy."

"When the time is right and the higher-ups say we can dig, we'll start..."

The person in charge was so fooled by the success that he began to talk incessantly and introduced the product with great effort.

The eldest princess was stunned.

She suddenly felt that the main reason why Ruyi was plotted against in the Shen family before was that she trusted her relatives too much and wanted their approval too much.

Otherwise, the entire Shen family plus Shen Jiaojiao would not be her match.

This is outrageous!

Ruyi followed the man and wandered around without revealing any flaws. Finally, they all walked in the direction of the imperial palace.

Ruyi asked, "Are there any other exits besides this one? I think this is very dangerous. If something goes wrong in the Priest's Hall, we won't be able to escape."

The man was stunned, "Will there be any problem?"

Soon, he smiled again, "Don't worry, there will be no problem with the Priest's Palace."

"The high priest's temple is on the mountain, a long way from here, and he is often not in the temple, so this place is mine."

He patted his chest and assured, "Don't worry, there will be no problems in the Priest's Palace. As long as the Third Prince succeeds, we will be rich and prosperous."

Ruyi nodded, but frowned, "That being said, it's better to be safe. I think there should be at least one more exit. We can't jump down from the cliff."

At this point, the manager nodded, "It's not that there are no other exits, but they are blocked now, and they won't be activated unless it's absolutely necessary."

"Take me to see it."

Ruyi's heart trembled.

Sure enough, things turned out just as she expected. Since the Third Prince had been planning for so long, how could he possibly dig a tunnel?

The eldest princess and Jing San were also shocked.

Jing San thought that as a member of Fengyu Pavilion, he had enough information, but he didn't expect that after following Ruyi, he would still find out a lot of things he didn't know.

The three of them looked somewhat solemn.

But there was no communication between them.

The eldest princess was simply afraid of saying something wrong and being exposed, so Jing San had nothing to say.

Ruyi's expression was genuinely solemn, with a half element of acting, as if she was concerned about her own safety and worried about the Third Prince's ambitions.

The head of the priest's hall led her to the end of the secret passage, where they stopped and raised their hands to knock on the wall beside them. "Did you hear that?"

"At the critical moment, if we dig a little here, we will be connected to the other side. But now we don't know who is responsible for the secret passage on the other side and where it was dug from."

He looked at Ruyi and said, "It's just that we only need to know this place. If something really happens and we can't get out of the Priest's Hall, we can just smash a hole here with a hammer and get out from another secret passage."

"That's more like it."

Ruyi nodded, looking relaxed, but she remembered this place firmly in her mind.

The few of them continued to walk forward, and Ruyi asked, "Where are the explosives? Please take me there. Although Lord Cao came down once today, he still asked me to come again."

As he spoke, he smiled sheepishly, "It's mainly used to test me and see if I can handle the patrol mission, so I'd like to ask the Master for help."

"No problem!"

The head of the shop felt relieved when he saw her attitude soften. "The explosives are here. I'll take you there."

But he didn't know that his nature was being manipulated by Ruyi.

Be tough and hard with him first, suppress him, and then give him some sweet treats to appease and win him over. This kind of relationship is the most stable.

It just happened that he put the other party in a position that he thought was safe. He didn't dare to jump up, but he also felt that as long as he stayed in that place, he would never be in danger.

Because, although the person above your head is oppressive, he seems to be easy to get along with.

He has ruthless methods but also a kind heart.

Soon, the five of them appeared at the end of the secret passage.

There were still many people digging in front, and a room was cleared out on the side, which was specially protected.

“This is to keep out moisture.”

The head explained, "It can't be blown up if it's damp. Let's go in and take a look."
