C132 She Went out to Play
Miao Yingyu and Yuan Zhen were checking the room, but Yu Longchen could not find the tunnel entrance. How could they find it with their eyes?
Yu Longchen did not point it out. What if they found it because he had missed something? He stood in front of Mu Ruqing's dressing table and stroked the brush that he had drawn her eyebrows with.
Yuan Zhen could not find it, so he became more and more anxious. Seeing Yu Longchen's relaxed look, he said sarcastically, "You still have the mood to play around here. Don't tell me you are not anxious at all? "
"Are you as anxious as you to jump over a wall? Did you gain anything? "Yu Longchen did not look at him. His tone was light. As the saying goes, a dog in a hurry to jump over a wall. Yuan Zhen's current appearance was more or less the same in his eyes.
Yuan Zhen did not realize that he said he was a dog. He just snorted in dissatisfaction. Miao Yingyu, on the other hand, heard him. She did not want to bother about Yuan Zhen and stood side by side with him. "There are no traces. Is the prince sure there is an underground tunnel?"
"Yes. Other than the underground tunnel, it is impossible to take Qing away quietly." Yu Longchen put down the brush between his eyebrows and naturally put his hands on both sides. "May I know if Miss has a way?"
"Yes, I just need to ask the king to wait for a while." Miao Yingyu was a little hard to say and was not in a position to say it out loud.
Yu Longchen nodded slightly and when he turned around, he brought a gust of wind. Yuan Zhen looked at his back and muttered, "I only know how to act cool! Why can't I do anything now?"
"You only know how to be anxious. Don't you have no other choice?" Miao Yingyu rolled her eyes at him and pushed him. "You go out too."
"I..." Yuan Zhen said one word and saw Miao Yingyu's commanding gaze. He obediently went out and closed the door. He didn't know when it started, but he started to obey Miao Yingyu unconditionally. Although he would still be stubborn, he would always be obedient in the end.
Yu Longchen slightly raised his head and looked at Yuan Zhen's expression. It was hard to describe how Yuan Zhen looked. Yuan Zhen was defeated. He crossed his arms in front of his chest. He and Yu Longchen were on bad terms, even though Yu Longchen didn't take him seriously.
A few deep and hoarse sounds of insects could be heard from the room. In the time it took to make a cup of tea, Miao Yingyu's slightly panting voice could be heard. "Found it!"
The two of them seemed to be racing. Who would go to the room first? Whoever won would win. How could Yuan Zhen be Yu Longchen's match? Yu Longchen was the first to arrive at a small corner on the right side of the room. Yuan Zhen fell behind. His unhappiness was written all over his face.
At this time, the sky was already dark. Lingyue and Xiangyi carried the candle over and just arrived at the door. Yu Longchen took the candle and drove the two away with a dark face.
Yu Longchen lifted the bright candle and placed it on the floor, lighting up the room.
In the corner, there was a square square foot long floor with black insects lying on it.
Miao Yingyu's forehead was covered in sweat and her face was pale. Her lips had turned from red to white. "Your Royal Highness, move the candles away. I scared them."
Yuan Zhen heard Miao Yingyu's words and took the candle away. This time, it should be faster than you, right?
As the light source left, the black little bug slowly emitted a light blue light. It lit up the four sides of the floor and the blue light shone on the three people's faces. It looked very strange.
"These bugs can smell, and find the place where the scent has disappeared recently. Qing should have disappeared from here. But that person hid too well and had no choice but to let this little bug find him. They will die after finding him once. Now they are biting the gap." Miao Yingyu's tone was slow. She was slowing down. She did not tell Yu Longchen the names of these little bugs. In Dayong, Gu magic was strictly forbidden. If one could not say it was Gu, then they would not say it.
Yu Longchen seemed to have found hope as he stared at those little bugs that were emitting blue light. Yuan Zhen looked at Miao Yingyu who was on the verge of collapsing and felt his heart ache. He took out a handkerchief to wipe her sweat. His voice unconsciously became gentle, "How is it?"
"I'm fine." Miao Yingyu gave him a comforting smile and was somewhat gratified. Fortunately, you have some weight in your heart...
Slowly, the blue light on her face disappeared. Miao Yingyu turned her head and looked at those little insects. She felt a little heartache. These little insects were very difficult to raise. She had raised them for five years and they were all used here.
"Wait until they all turn black, then it will be fine!" Miao Yingyu had already recovered and her face had a few traces of rosiness.
Yu Longchen thanked her gratefully, and Yuan Zhen carried the candle over again. According to Miao Yingyu's instructions, the insects were poisonous, so they needed to be carefully put away. Not a single one could be left behind.
After cleaning up, Yu Longchen knocked on the floor. When he came out, he could reach into the gap between his fingers. There was nothing unusual, but the sound that came out was still solid. No wonder he couldn't find it. It was hidden so well!
Yuan Zhen took out a small dagger and pried it in through the gap. "Crack crack." There was the sound of something twitching between the wooden planks.
Yu Longchen used his strength to pry open a corner of the wooden plank. He placed his hand on the wooden plank and used his strength together with Yuan Zhen. They picked up the entire wooden plank and put it aside.
There was a black hole under the wooden plank that could allow two people to go down together. A gust of cold wind blew from below, bringing with it the smell of soil.
Yuan Zhen found two lanterns from the room. Yu Longchen took the lanterns, randomly picked up a handkerchief and threw it in. The hole was not deep, about two to three meters deep. To Yu Longchen, this was a piece of cake.
"Sorry to trouble you, miss. I don't know what kind of danger this trip will bring. I'll go alone." Yu Long bowed politely, and his expression was indeed impatient. After finding the cave, he took another step closer to Mu Ruqing.
"No, Qing is also my friend. If I go, I might be able to help." How could Miao Yingyu not go? Mu Ruqing was her best friend and she also valued friendship.
Yuan Zhen also had a face full of dissatisfaction. He pouted and held another lantern. "Why should we not go? You lost her. Now we have to go and find her!"
Yu Longchen jumped down and said to the two people on the floor, "I am in front. Miss Miao is in the middle. You are in the back!" There was an empty echo from the hole. Yu Longchen said and went in.
Miao Yingyu was also a martial arts practitioner. She had recovered just now and did not ask for Yuan Zhen's help. She jumped in and landed steadily on the ground. She patted the mud on her hands and said, "Put the floor up. Clean it up!"
Without needing her to say, Yuan Zhen was already doing it. One hand was holding the wooden board and the other hand was holding the lantern.
As he fell, the floor fell to the place where he had just landed, stirring up a layer of dust.
At this moment, Changxu had returned from outside. He wanted to tell Yu Longchen that Second Prince had come. When he rushed to the courtyard, he could not see anyone.
He called out a few times outside the room, but no one answered. He mustered his courage and entered their bedroom. He did not see anyone, but found the floor with a gap. There was a letter on the floor next to him.
He picked it up and looked at it. He filled the gap between the floor and made sure that there was no trace. He tidied up the room again, but as a man, he did not do as well as Lingyue and the others.
He checked a few times before he left and then closed the door.
Yu Longtang was already anxious from waiting in the main hall. He picked up the teacup and put it down again. Changxu came in from inside and knelt down on one knee. "Second Prince, the prince and the princess went out to play."
"Play?" Yu Longtang's eyes widened in anger, and he was a bit shocked. "At this time, he still has the mood to go out to play! Did something happen in the prince's mansion? Today, he seemed a little abnormal. " As he spoke, his anger rose. He flicked his sleeve. He put his hands behind his back.
"Oh, it was the Princess who fell into the water, so she hurriedly reported it to the Royal Highness. The Princess was fine, the Royal Highness came back, packed some things, and brought the Princess out." Changxu blurted out a lie. Yu Longchen's letter said that even Second Prince could not let him know.
Yu Longtang could not do anything about this Fifth Younger Brother! Today, the Emperor had summoned all of them over. There were so many things he needed to do, but he had run away.
Yu Longtang knew that Yu Longchen wouldn't be back for a short period of time, so he felt a little depressed in his heart. After thinking for a while, he left the mansion with a dark expression on his face.
