Chapter 316 Pain
"Your Highness, what are you doing? How dare you break into the East Palace study without permission?" When Jing Yuan saw He Yanli trying to break in, he immediately blocked the door to the study.
He Yanli looked at him with deep eyes, "My jade pendant just fell off accidentally, and it might have been blown into the study by the wind. I'm just going to take a look. If you're worried, you can follow me in and take a look."
Jing Yuan still didn't give way: "Your Majesty, how could your jade pendant be blown into the study room where the windows are not open by the wind? I hope Your Majesty will forgive me, I can't give way."
He Yanli didn't say anything else and strode into the study, but Jing Yuan held his hand. However, just after he stretched out his hand for a moment, Mo Xiao pressed down his arm and forced Jing Yuan to retreat.
Jing Yuan looked back at He Yanli and immediately said loudly, "Why don't you go and report to His Highness?"
The guards in the yard were about to step forward, but when they heard this, they immediately turned around and headed towards Changxing Palace.
The distance from the study to Changxing Palace was not short, and the guard ran quickly and saw the prince on a corridor.
"Your Highness!"
He Zhiyu stopped, looked at the out-of-breath guard, and asked in a deep voice, "Why are you so flustered?"
The guard panted and replied, "Your Highness, Prince Jing broke into the study without permission. Jing Yuan couldn't stop him, so he sent his subordinates to report to Your Highness!"
He Zhiyu frowned, and without even thinking, he handed Qiao Yihuan to the guard, "Send her back to Changxing Palace."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and hurried towards the study.
The breeze brought by his turning around blew up the hem of his clothes. The guard looked at the quickly departing figure, then glanced at the woman who was forced into his arms, and was silent for a moment.
Didn’t Your Highness cherish Miss Qiao the most in the past?
Now that Miss Qiao is handed into his arms, His Highness will not want to take his own head when he thinks about it later, right?
The study in the Eastern Palace is where the crown prince handles important matters, and the room is not small.
With Mo Xiao around, Jing Yuan couldn't stop He Yanli and didn't dare to really go forward and drag He Yanli out. He just hoped that His Highness would come back soon.
He Yanli had a calm expression on his face but his steps were not slow. He quickly scanned the movement in the study, checking from the inner hall to the outside one by one, but did not find a single person.
The obsidian eyes narrowed slightly, and the chill in them became more biting.
Since there is no one in the study room on the surface, what if there is a secret room in the study?
There are quite a few secret rooms in his Prince Jing's Mansion, so how could the Eastern Palace have no way out at all?
He Yanli glanced at the furnishings in the study, and finally his sight stopped on a floor-standing vase.
After hesitating for a moment, he walked towards the vase.
"presumptuous!"
A scolding voice was heard. He Yanli heard it but did not stop. He reached out his hand to turn the vase.
He Zhiyu frowned, "He Yanli, you acted so recklessly in my study, do you want to be charged with stealing important political figures?"
He Yanli's hand had already landed on the vase. He turned around and looked at him, a faint arc appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Brother, you worry too much. I am just looking for the lost jade pendant."
After saying this, he turned the vase vigorously.
He Zhiyu frowned and looked at the frozen smile on his lips with a mocking look.
The vase was not the mechanism of the secret room in the study.
He Zhiyu: "You are now accused of treason and have now trespassed into the Crown Prince's study. Tomorrow my brother will certainly ask my father for justice."
He Yanli smiled instead of getting angry, "Okay, it just so happens that I also want to ask Father to know something."
He paused after finishing his words, "What kind of crime is it to secretly keep a noble lady from the capital? If Minister Qiao knew about this, would he fight you to the death?"
After He Yanli finished speaking, he pulled out the dagger from his sleeve and threw it out.
A brick on the northwest wall was stabbed by a dagger. There was a crackling sound, and a secret door rose up.
He Zhiyu's face suddenly darkened.
There are two opening mechanisms in the secret room of the East Palace study. One is a glass vase placed in the southwest corner, and the other is a brick on the northwest wall.
No one except him or Jing Yuan knew the location of the bricks and stones. All the craftsmen who built the mechanism had been executed. How could He Yanli act so confidently?
He knew about the secret room mechanism in the East Palace study? !
The thoughts that arose in his mind made He Zhiyu want to kill.
The mechanism on the wall is a backup plan to prevent the glass vase from malfunctioning and becoming unable to be opened, and the mechanism on the wall can only be used once.
This time, everything was ruined because of him!
He Yanli knew what he was thinking at the moment, so he looked at him with undisguised teasing and mockery.
The secret mechanism of the Eastern Palace was opened by him with great accuracy and ruthlessness. I guess his good brother the Emperor must feel that he is very smart at this moment, right?
A sarcastic laugh sounded, and he said slowly: "Ah, my hands were shaking, and I accidentally opened the mechanism in my brother's study. I think my brother won't be angry, right?"
Even though He Zhiyu wanted to cut He Yanli into pieces at this moment, he still wiped away the gloomy look on his face, raised his lips and smiled lightly, his expression as usual.
As the crown prince, he should be able to endure what ordinary people cannot endure. This is the idea instilled in him by the queen since he was a child.
"How could it be? I am not such a stingy person. My brother's jade pendant is missing. You will not regret looking for it in this secret room, right?"
He Yanli didn't understand the veiled words and said with a smile, "Maybe it fell in accidentally. I'll go in and look for it. Brother, you don't mind, right?"
He Zhiyu: "What if I mind?"
He Yanli smiled and did not answer him, but walked straight towards the secret room.
He Zhiyu frowned, strode after him, and stopped him about ten feet away from the secret room.
"How dare you! You slandered me for keeping a noble lady in my possession, and now you have trespassed into the East Palace without permission. I think your good days are really over!"
He Yanli looked at the turning point that was just around the corner, "You know whether it was hidden or not. Now that I have come this far, no one can stop me."
Now that the matter has been made clear, there is no need for He Zhiyu to continue hiding it.
She entered the Eastern Palace openly. If it wasn't an emergency, he wouldn't have been so reckless to detain her in the Eastern Palace.
"You keep saying that you hate her and that she is the person you hate the most in your life. What's your mindset when you come here to look for her?"
He Zhiyu continued, "She abandoned you without hesitation, which is enough to prove that you are as lowly as grass in her heart. Now she says she likes you, but it's just to play hard to get with me. My brother, you don't think that she has really changed her mind and still has you in her heart, right?"
These words hurt He Yanli's heart.
He knew that Qiao Wanyan had never loved him as much as he loved her, which was why he felt pain when she kept saying "I like you" to him after he was poisoned by the love poison.
They are all fake, not her true feelings.
If she didn't have the love Gu, she would feel that even looking back at herself would be a waste of time.
