"Since Ling 'er wants to see it, then come with me.”Mu Yunqi stood up as he spoke." Ninth Brother, come along too."”
"I've really troubled the Crown Prince." Mu Yunlan smiled and cupped her hands.”
"We're all family. Why are you saying such polite words?”Mu Yunqi said as he stole a glance at Xu Ling 'er.
Her eyes were clear, unlike those of those people who had experienced ups and downs in the official world. She was as clean as ice. However, there was not the slightest hint of the cold aura of ice and snow.
What a strange woman.
He must find a way to hold such a woman in his hands.
The three of them soon arrived at the study. Mu Yunqi asked for the title of the book and quickly found it, handing it to Xu Ling 'er.
Xu Ling 'er was overjoyed." Thank you, Your Highness." Ling 'er would definitely finish reading it as soon as possible. When the time comes, send it to His Highness the Crown Prince."
Mu Yunqi was slightly stunned and said,"Isn't it inconvenient for Ling 'er to come out during this period of time? It's better for BenGong to go and get it. He could also visit Zuo Cheng.”
Xu Ling 'er lowered her eyes and smiled, her hand gently stroking the pages of the book. Mu Yunlan saw the look of fondness on his face. He chuckled." Ling 'er, we haven't returned yet.”
"But I want to see it now." She smiled in embarrassment.
Mu Yunqi's eyes moved slightly and he smiled.""Since Ling 'er wants to see it, why don't you watch it here first? I'll ask the servants to prepare lunch. Ninth brother, you haven't eaten here for a long time.”
Mu Yunlan scratched her head in embarrassment." Usually, I always feel that His Highness the Crown Prince is quite busy and it's not appropriate for him to come and nag." But now that the Crown Prince has spoken, I will obey.”
Mu Yunqi nodded and turned to look at Xu Ling 'er." Ling' er, is there anything you like to eat?"”
Xu Ling 'er frowned and thought for a moment before shaking her head.
Mu Yunlan smiled and said," Ling 'er doesn't have anything she wants to eat, but my younger brother does. I wonder if you can ask the crown prince to prepare some for me."”
Mu Yunqi smiled. He knew that his favorite things were food, wine, beautiful scenery, and beautiful women. At this moment, he was in front of Xu Ling 'er again. He waved his hand and said,"If there's anything you want to eat, just say it.”
"Then I will thank you in advance. He heard that there were two dishes and a pastry that were the most exquisite in the Crown Prince's residence. Even his father's imperial food could not compare to it. I wonder if my younger brother will have this good fortune today?”
Mu Yunqi laughed out loud." You're so well-informed. Alright, bengong will get someone to prepare."
Mu Yunqi instructed. However, before he could turn his head, he saw a servant girl running over in a hurry. When he saw that there were two people in the study room, he looked at Mu Yunqi awkwardly.
Mu Yunqi immediately understood and smiled at Mu Yunlan."You guys wait here for bengong, bengong will be back soon.”
Xu Ling 'er glanced at the servant girl. She was Xu Zhen's servant girl.
She smiled slightly." Alright, Your Highness, you may go ahead."”
Mu Yunqi nodded. The servant girl whispered a few words into his ear. His expression changed drastically and he hurriedly left.
Xu Ling 'er looked in the direction where Mu Yunqi had disappeared. She exchanged glances with Mu Yunlan and immediately searched the study room.
Mu Yunqi's study room was very big, and it was very troublesome to find it.
"Ling 'Er, did you get anything?”
Xu Ling 'er shook her head." Those pieces of evidence must have been kept well. As the Eastern Palace, it's impossible for this study not to have hidden compartments and secret chambers." I just don't know where the mechanism is."
Mu Yunlan frowned. He didn't usually get involved in court affairs, and there was a secret compartment in his study, let alone the Eastern Palace.
Xu Ling 'er frowned slightly, but her gaze soon fell on the vase in the corner. Her eyes moved slightly, and a trace of clarity flashed across her mind. She slowly walked over and touched the vase gently. Then, she slowly moved along the vase to the table.
Suddenly, a strange feeling spread to her heart.
Xu Ling 'er turned to look at Mu Yunlan." There's something wrong with this vase."”
As she spoke, she used some strength to push the vase, but the vase did not move at all.
Mu Yunlan hurriedly stepped forward and gently twisted the vase. The bookshelf instantly shifted to the side, and a secret room slowly appeared in front of them.
Xu Ling 'er was overjoyed and hurriedly pulled Mu Yunqi in.
Time was tight. They did not have much time to waste.
The light in the secret room was not very good, and it was a little dark. Fortunately, he could still see inside with the help of the light from the outside.
Xu Ling 'er and Mu Yunlan slowly walked forward. Soon, a bookshelf appeared in front of them. On it were many letters and account books.
Xu Ling 'er casually flipped through a book. It was about the Minister's Residence. It recorded the situation of the Eastern Palace and the Minister's Residence splitting the profits.
Mu Yunlan leaned over to take a look and stuffed the account book into her arms. She also took some letters from the Minister's Residence and smiled."This Minister is a bit unlucky, so we'll start with him.”
"Only him?"
Mu Yunlan nodded." If we take too much, it'll easily arouse suspicion." Since we already know about the existence of this secret chamber, wouldn't everything be revealed if we follow the clues and find out?”
Xu Ling 'er nodded, but she still felt uneasy. She took another step forward and saw a brocade box placed on the highest shelf.
Mu Yunlan saw her gaze fall on it and reached out to take it down.
As soon as she opened the letter, the large words "Ling Family" instantly stung Xu Ling 'er's eyes.
Xu Ling 'er's hands trembled as she slowly picked up the letter. Everything that was written on it was clear. Her heart ached instantly, as if there were thousands of ants biting her.
It was written clearly in the letter, from the beginning to the end.
Her name was also written on the letter.
Indeed, Mu Yunqi had wanted to use her from the beginning.
Mu Yunlan glanced at her and took out all the letters." Ling 'er, there's something I hope you can understand.”
Xu Ling 'er lowered her eyes to hide the pain in them.
Even if he didn't say it, she understood.
The Ling Family's crimes were decided by the Emperor. Even if Mu Yunqi was the one who caused it, the reputation would not be removed so easily. Even if Mu Yunqi fell, the Ling family would not be able to clear their name immediately.
"I understand. Don't worry, we've already come this far. I won't fail at the last moment."
Mu Yunlan nodded. He had always been at ease with her.
"We'll take all of these with us. In the future, they'll be evidence that will be beneficial to us.”
"Okay."
Just as Xu Ling 'er finished speaking, Mu Yunqi's voice came from outside the secret chamber.
"I'm really sorry. There were some things that happened just now. The two of you weren't in a hurry, were you?”# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:122120183:51AM
