Seeing Jiang Shuo getting closer and closer to the light step by step, Ye Qingwan also slowed down her breathing, fearing that Shen Xun would suddenly jump out from the corner and catch him in the next second.

Jiang Shuo suddenly froze there.

Ye Qingwan clenched her fists involuntarily and became nervous.

It wasn't until she saw Jiang Shuo waving to her that Ye Qingwan breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward.

When they stepped forward and took a look, Ye Qingwan was completely stunned. It turned out that right in front of the corner was a huge stone door, which was blocking their way, and the faint light was two small lights on both sides of the stone door. The light comes from.

Jiang Shuo leaned against the stone door with a serious expression. Ye Qingwan frowned, leaned over and listened, and immediately understood why Jiang Shuo's expression became so serious.

It turns out that there is a secret room behind the stone door, and at this moment, there are subtle conversations coming from the secret room.

Shen Xun hadn't left yet, and was talking to the people in the secret room, but he couldn't hear clearly. Ye Qingwan put her ear against the stone door to try to hear the conversation between the two people inside, but before she could hear anything, she When she noticed that the conversation between the two people inside was getting closer, she felt bad, so she pulled Jiang Shuo beside her and left.

Jiang Shuo looked at a loss and opened his mouth to ask what he was doing. Ye Qingwan turned around and glared at him fiercely. Jiang Shuo said nothing and allowed her to pull him away.

Ye Qingwan reminded in a low voice: "The people inside are coming out, quickly find a place to hide."

But as soon as she finished speaking, she turned around and was dumbfounded.

The empty secret passage in front of me is lined with thick stone walls. Where can I hide?

The sound of the stone door opening and closing came from behind. Ye Qingwan panicked for a moment. Could it be that Shen Xun was about to discover her?

Just when Ye Qingwan was panicking, the people around her grabbed her arm and started running wildly in the darkness. After a while, she stopped again. Ye Qingwan felt herself being pulled back violently and slowly came to her feet. Later, they found that she and Jiang Shuo were hiding close to each other in a sunken stone wall.

Ye Qingwan was shocked and found it strange, how did Jiang Shuo know that people could be hidden here?

There was no time to think about it, the footsteps were approaching, Ye Qingwan and Jiang Shuo were hiding in the dark, nervousness and fear intertwined, making her involuntarily lean against Jiang Shuo.

Looking at the person under his eyes, Jiang Shuo's eyes gradually darkened and his breathing became heavy. The petite little person was like a frightened deer, but little did he know that the person behind her was the real evil beast that was eyeing her. .

In order to see clearly the person who had just spoken to Shen Xun, Ye Qingwan risked half of her head sticking out, but was surprised to find that Shen Xun was the only one there!

As if he noticed something, Shen Xun turned around suddenly. There was nothing in the empty secret passage. After a moment of hesitation, Shen Xun took steps to leave the secret passage.

In the darkness, Ye Qingwan was so frightened that she was sweating profusely, and her pair of shining eyes were full of shock at the aftermath of the disaster.

Fortunately, Jiang Shuo pulled her back in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

After there was no sound at all, Jiang Shuo turned the person in front of him to face him, clamped Ye Qingwan's chin with one hand, and said in a playful tone with anger: "You are really not afraid of being discovered, why are you still here? Dare to peek."

Ye Qingwan was noncommittal.

She closed her eyes and took a long breath, blaming herself for being too impatient just now.

Jiang Shuo looked at her funny and loosened the grip on his hands.

The atmosphere gradually cooled down. After a while, Ye Qingwan opened her eyes and asked, "Why is Shen Xun the only one coming out?"

"My Ye Yin," Jiang Shuo patted her on the shoulder, shook his head helplessly and said, "Why is your brain suddenly so hard to use?"

"Shen Xun, she came alone, so of course she will go out alone," he said.

Ye Qingwan: "."

That's the truth.

Without further ado, Ye Qingwan left Jiang Shuo alone and walked back to the stone gate to look around, trying to find a mechanism that could open the stone gate. However, she searched near the stone gate for a long time and found no clues.

Suddenly Ye Qingwan thought of Jiang Shuo who had just helped her open the mechanism. She turned around and cast a pleading look at Jiang Shuo who had just followed.

Jiang Shuo's mouth twitched: "Don't, don't look at me like this."

He crossed his arms and walked forward, glanced up and down the stone door, spread his hands, and looked helpless: "I really have no choice about this door, I can only rely on your own smart brain."

Seeing that Jiang Shuo had no effect, Ye Qingwan speechlessly withdrew her gaze and continued to observe the stone gate.

Now Jiang Shuo was unhappy: "You are such a ruthless woman, am I the only one who can be used by you?"

Ye Qingwan raised her eyelids slightly, raised her eyebrows slightly, and responded lightly: "That's right."

Jiang Shuo narrowed his eyes and looked at her: "Then should I feel honored for this? Then thank you for looking up to me and allowing me to be used by you."

Ye Qingwan chuckled and waved her hand at him: "That's not necessary."

After watching for a long time, Ye Qingwan sighed and gave up looking for a mechanism that could open the stone door for the time being, and decided to look for any other clues.

Ye Qingwan knelt down and suddenly smelled a faint scent coming from the cracks in the stone door. She frowned and pursed her lips in silence.

While thinking about it, Jiang Shuo's voice sounded again behind him.

"Ye Yin, let's withdraw for now."

Ye Qingwan turned around without knowing why and asked: "What's wrong?"

Jiang Shuo smiled: "If the two guards told Shen Xun that we came in, and Shen Xun didn't find any trace of us in Wenxin Pavilion, do you think he would know where we are now?"

Ye Qingwan's eyes suddenly froze, and a lot of sweat broke out on her forehead again. As expected, the closer she got to the truth, the more she became more and more arrogant, forgetting such a simple truth.

Thinking about it, Ye Qingwan stood up, took Jiang Shuo with her and left, but she stopped here before she even thought about it.

Jiang Shuo allowed himself to be pulled away by her, and from time to time he would make jokes and taunt Ye Qingwan. Suddenly he stopped and said slightly: "I suggest that we all stop coming here recently. That old vixen is very clever. I dare you." I'm sure he must have become suspicious today. If he suddenly comes to wait and see, we will both end up having fun."

Ye Qingwan glanced at him, hummed absentmindedly, and continued walking. She didn't know if she heard it or not.

After walking out of the secret passage, Ye Qingwan was about to go downstairs, but she froze in place after hearing the voices of the two guards outside the pavilion.

"Your Highness."

"Um."

Ye Qingwan suddenly came to her senses, and hurriedly turned around to tell Jiang Shuo that Shen Xun had returned. Jiang Shuo heard this and without saying a word, put his arms around Ye Qingwan's waist and jumped out of the window.

Ye Qingwan's eyes widened suddenly. The sudden feeling of weightlessness made her subconsciously close her eyes and wrap her arms around Jiang Shuo's neck until she landed firmly. Just when she was about to open her eyes, another creepy voice sounded in her ears.

"Put her down."
