Song Yushu followed Lu Zhixing into the secret passage. He saw that the passage was two people high. There were small eternal lamps on the smooth walls of the secret passage. There were stairs leading to nowhere.
"Where does this secret passage lead to?" Song Yushu was a little afraid of this dark secret passage that no one knew where it led to, and pulled Lu Zhixing's sleeve nervously.
She was indeed quite bold about this kind of thing before, but because she had been kidnapped several times, she had a bit of a stress reaction.
Lu Zhixing hadn't expected Song Yushu to react like this. With a jolt in his heart, he quickly held Song Yushu's hand and whispered to him, "Don't be afraid."
"Well, I'm not afraid, I just don't feel very comfortable." Song Yushu wanted to save face and did not admit it.
"Okay." Lu Zhixing didn't delve into it, but gently held Song Yushu's hand and pulled her to walk quickly.
After a while, he pushed open a door, and there was also a small secret room.
Song Yushu felt very familiar with the secret room, and when he followed Lu Zhixing to the outer room, he understood everything.
"This is your study!" She opened her mouth wide. When did Lu Zhixing open such a large secret passage?
Lu Zhixing looked at Song Yushu's expression with satisfaction. "That's right. Sooner or later, you will have to leave the palace, so I ordered people to build this secret passage. What do you think?"
Song Yushu has been in this era for so long and has always known their efficiency, but he did not expect it to be so efficient and that Lu Zhixing actually thought so far ahead.
No wonder he was so calm when the imperial edict came down. I thought the novelty of it had worn off!
"Great, great." Song Yushu gave a thumbs up.
From the beginning to now, Lu Zhixing has always supported her wholeheartedly, never looked down on her, and always thought about her. The more Song Yushu thought about it, the more she felt that this man was a treasure.
She held his face and pinched it.
"That's it?" Lu Zhixing was slightly stunned, then reacted and pulled Song Yushu to sit on the chair.
Song Yushu sat on Lu Zhixing's lap, cupping his face with a smile and taking another bite. "One more."
The big hand on Song Yushu's waist gradually became hot, and Lu Zhixing's voice became a little hoarse. He gradually moved closer to Song Yushu, staring at her lips, "Eunuch Song, you are an adult now, so you must know what I want, right?"
In the silent space, the only sounds could be heard: the two people's increasingly loud heartbeats and rapid breathing.
Lu Zhixing couldn't help it first and kissed those rosy lips. He pressed his big hand on the back of Song Yushu's head, constantly intercepting her breath.
There was a burning flame in the eyes of the two people when they collided.
"Knock knock knock, Your Majesty."
It was Liu Bai's voice. As a martial artist, he could of course hear the sounds in the house. Even so, he still had to knock on the door. It must be that he had something important to report.
Song Yushu came to his senses first and pushed Lu Zhixing hard.
However, he didn't expect that the man who was angry bit Song Yushu's lips twice heavily before stopping. He rested his forehead against Song Yushu's forehead and breathed slightly.
"What?"
The tone clearly showed unsatisfied impatience and indifference.
Liu Bai, who was standing outside the door, felt very embarrassed. He didn't want to knock on the door at this time. "Your Highness, an old member of the Eagle Division came to report that they have something important to tell you."
Although Lu Zhixing did not have the overt military power, he secretly had considerable influence in the military and even had his own army in the border areas, which was always supported by Lu Zhixing using the money from the mansion.
When Song Yushu and Lu Zhixing had tidied themselves and let the old members of the Eagle Division in, Liu Bai didn't even dare to raise his head, for fear of seeing Lu Zhixing's murderous gaze.
Lu Zhixing snorted coldly and asked the man below, "What's the matter?"
"Your Highness, I am here to pay my respects to you. Recently, our spies in the south and the north have received intelligence reports that someone is moving back and forth on the mineral vein. The general is afraid that there may be some unusual movements, so he ordered me to come and report." The man was an honest man. He didn't know why Lu Zhixing snorted coldly and answered in fear.
Mineral vein?
Song Yushu and Lu Zhixing exchanged a glance, and Song Yushu continued to ask, "But is the enemy country invading?"
Song Yushu thought that he had traveled thousands of miles to rescue the prince and saved many people during the march, so he had a high prestige among the old members of the Eagle Division. When she asked questions, the man answered as if he was answering the prince.
"According to Ye Bushou's report, they are not. Those people are all locals. We have solid evidence to prove their origin." The man swallowed hard and told the truth, "They seem to be Prince Yu's men."
When it comes to party struggles, the most important thing is money, especially for someone like Prince Yu who is unpopular, so he needs money even more.
The prince could go to provide disaster relief this time. Even if he didn't get the biggest share because of Lu Zhixing's appearance, he could still get a small share.
Seeing that the prince had money, Prince Yu was certainly unwilling to be outdone, so he had to find another way.
However, the imperial court actually kept a very strict watch on the mineral veins, and the emperor was particularly cautious about it. He did not even give it to the crown prince, but instead found a timid, cautious and obedient prince, the Prince of Qi, to take charge.
"Okay, got it. Pass the order to keep the prisoners at bay at night and intensify patrols, but don't alert the enemy." Lu Zhixing thought for a while and let the man go.
After the man went down, he went to the mansion to get a large bag of national passes. He looked at the busy people with some confusion.
"Miss Liu An, why is the palace so bustling? I missed Eunuch Song's birthday two days ago, but I brought a cart of fruit wine and fresh fruit from the south. Remember to present it to Eunuch Song for me."
In the past, men always came empty-handed and returned with full loads, but the general said that it was not easy for Eunuch Song to make money, so it would be better for him to bring some things with him. After all, one should be grateful to the person who has helped him!
Liu An carefully hid some of the passes in the man's clothes and among various dry goods. He worked without looking up and said, "We are going to move out."
"What?!" The man was so surprised that the steamed bun in his hand fell to the ground. He quickly picked it up and blew on it. "So Eunuch Song doesn't care about us anymore?"
It’s over, the days of eating meat are gone forever!
Liu An knew what he was thinking and just rolled his eyes, but he didn't get angry. The men in the army were all very honest, and he was a straightforward person. "Just move out. The master is now a second-rank inspector, how can he still live in the palace?"
"Just, just move out?" The man hunched over cautiously and stared at Liu An's face.
"Of course." Liu An packed up his things and handed them to the man.
"That's good, that's good." The man breathed a sigh of relief, but there was also an inexplicable sense of loss in his heart. "When will we stop being so sneaky?"
Liu An patted the man's shoulder for the first time and comforted him, "It will be soon."
