Chapter 481: You don't have to design something so awesome just for a word from me

The emperor smiled and said, "This is another path leading to the Imperial Academy and the Yuan Academy."

After a pause, the emperor looked down at Yuan Ruan's big eyes that were flickering with surprise. The emperor smiled again, pinched the tip of Yuan Ruan's nose, and said, "Jiu'er is really a noble person who forgets things easily. This is what you asked for. Have you forgotten?"

Yuanruan: ???

——Brother, don't talk nonsense! When did she ask for a crossbow secret passage?

At this time, the prince beside him whispered, "Ninth sister, when the two academies were first built, father asked you what kind of academy you wanted. You said you hoped it would be impregnable and teachers and students safe. Father took this into consideration and built this special passage. Even if there is a continuous war, teachers and students can transfer books in time and escape."

Yuan Ruan was stunned:!!!

I just said an idiom casually! Brother, you made it into something like this?!

6.

The system suddenly interrupted and said, "Ah Ruan, your brother really put in a lot of effort this time. In order to meet the deadline, many of the engineers here were transferred from the imperial mausoleum built by your brother. The crossbows and other weapons you saw were also good things prepared for the construction of the imperial mausoleum."

Crowd: !!!

Yuan Ruan was stunned when he heard this.

She knew how much the ancient emperors feared the leakage of the secrets of the imperial mausoleum in order to prevent tomb theft, and some cruel emperors would even let the craftsmen who designed the tomb be buried with the emperor. The emperor would transfer the craftsmen who built the mausoleum out just because of her idiom, which showed that he really valued her.

Yuanruan was somewhat moved and couldn't help but hug her emperor tightly.

The emperor patted Yuanruan's shoulder calmly.

Everyone continued to walk into the passage. Soon, they heard the sound of flowing water, and then saw a small underground river. After going around it, they gradually walked up the slope and walked for a long time. When the guard opened the candlestick again, a dazzling white light rushed in from the cave in front. If the emperor hadn't covered Yuanruan's eyes in time, she would have been dizzy for a long time.

After a moment, Yuanruan felt a breeze blowing on her face.

She opened her eyes and was surprised to find that she was standing high up in an attic with a beautiful palace in front of her. Standing there, Yuanruan could clearly hear the students not far away speaking passionately.

Yuan Ruan couldn't help but turn his head and found that there was a cliff behind him. The prince was coming out of a cave carved out of the cliff.

Yes, this attic was built along the cliff.

Yuan Ruan couldn't help but sigh: [Awesome! This secret passage is really well hidden. I have to be careful with what I say and do in the future.]

The system disagrees: [No need, Ah Ruan! You should be grateful for whatever your brother does for you! ]

Yuanruan disagreed, but she didn't want to argue.

Soon, the emperor carried Yuanruan downstairs, then walked through the second-floor corridor and came to the private room on the second floor of the palace.

Here, Yuan Ruan saw several familiar court officials who were looking down and recording something.

When the court officials saw the emperor, they quickly stood up and prepared to salute, but the emperor, who was in casual clothes, raised his hand and stopped them: "No need to be polite."

The courtiers looked at each other, saluted briefly, and then withdrew.

At this time, one of the students in front of the palace suddenly stood up and said loudly: "The Xiongnu are wild and unruly, they do not engage in production, and have never listened to the words of the saints. Their surrender is not worthy of trust at all! If I... were in the court, I would definitely oppose it!"

Yuan Ruan originally felt that the voice was familiar, and when he looked closely, hey, isn't this the petite and handsome Prince of Xiping?

How come this person is here? From what he calls himself, it's obvious that he is keeping a low profile.

She looked around again.

It was strange. The Prince of Xiping always went out with the Prince of Linjiang and the Prince of Hengshan, and they were always close. Why was the Prince of Xiping the only one this time? Did these three have a fight?!
