Chapter Twenty Nine Finding Something

Because of the rest tomorrow, Zhao Yao kept in a good mood to attend class all day today. In the afternoon, after practicing the piano and getting off the school, he left Wende Hall like the wind and couldn't wait to return to Kunde Hall.

"Mother, I'll come back after dinner tomorrow." Zhao Yao asked while packing his things, "Mother, what do you want? I'll buy you?"

"My mother has nothing to want, but you buy whatever you want." Liang Zhaoyi said, politely reminding Zhao Yao, "Don't eat too much, be careful to get rid of your stomach, do you know?" Liang Zhaoyi was worried that her son would leave the palace, so she kept eating and eating her stomach. After all, this kind of thing had happened before.

"knew."

"Do you really understand?" Liang Zhaoyi didn't believe his son's promise and poked his forehead and said, "If you get a stomachache this time, you will not be allowed to leave the palace for the next three months."

"What?" This punishment was very serious for Zhao Yao, so he quickly raised his hand and sweared, "Mother, I swear I will definitely not eat bad stomachs." Well, this time he left the palace, he was more at ease and stopped eating to fill his stomach.

"It's better." Liang Zhaoyi reminded again, "Be careful."

Zhao Yao patted his little chest and promised Liang Zhaoyi: "Don't worry, mother, I will be careful." He said again, "I told my brother that I will sleep all day tomorrow and told him not to come to me."

"Mother, you also told the second mother and the others that I want to make up for my sleep and told them not to come to me." Liang Zhaoyi and Zhao Yao did not tell Yu Meiren. They did not believe Yu Meiren, but the fact that there is a secret passage in the cold palace is too secret, and the fewer people know, the better.

Liang Zhaoyi nodded and said, "Okay."

Zhao Yao carried his shoulder bag, "Mother, then I'll leave."

"Be careful." This is not the first time my son has left the palace from the cold palace secretly, and Liang Zhaoyi is not worried that something will happen to him.

Zhao Yao asked Lai Wang and the others to visit the house carefully, so he took Tongxi to the cold palace.

Lai Lu and the others were waiting for Zhao Yao. When they saw him coming, they all shook their tails happily.

【Yaoyao, we will accompany you out of the palace.】

Zhao Yao touched Lai Lu's head and said with a smile: "You can continue to train, don't be lazy. When I come back, I will check it."

Lai Lu said with some loss: [Okay, we will train well.]

"When you have finished training, it will be their turn." Laiman is the dogs guarding the Pei Mansion now. In the Pei Mansion, there are many cats and dogs. They and Lai Lu from the cold palace will take turns to guard the Pei Mansion. "When I come back, I will bring you some delicious food."

When they heard something delicious, their eyes lit up: [We want to eat meat and big bones.]

"No problem." Zhao Yao stood up and reminded him to enjoy himself, take good care of and supervise his support.

After explaining the matter, Zhao Yao took Tongxi to the secret passage.

The entrance to the secret passage is under the bed of Concubine Pei. Before entering the entrance, you have to move a few things first.

With a click, the entrance of the secret passage opened, and Zhao Yao jumped into the entrance with Tongxi.

There was darkness in the secret passage. Zhao Yao took out a fire note from his bag and lit a candle. What imprinted in front of him was a rugged secret passage.

This secret passage is not wide and can only accommodate one person. Zhao Yao guessed that this secret passage was dug up for Concubine Pei. Although Concubine Pei escaped from the cold palace from the secret passage, she was unable to escape the fate of death in the end.

Fortunately, neither Zhao Yao nor Tongxi were big fat people, so they could pass through the secret passage.

Tongxi walked in front with a candle, and Zhao Yao followed him. The secret passage was very long, and Zhao Yao and the others walked out for more than half an hour.

The exit of the secret passage is in a woodshed in Pei Mansion, which is very inconspicuous.

Zhao Yao knocked on a wall at the exit of the secret passage with his hand. After a while, the door of the exit slowly opened. Zhao Yao took Tongxi out of the secret passage.

Before entering the secret passage, Zhao Yao and Tongxi changed their clothes and put on a torn dress. The two of them made their hair messy and their faces deliberately smeared, looking like beggars.

Zhao Yao and the others deliberately made it like this because they didn't want to attract attention. After all, no one would turn their attention to the beggar.

They had been waiting for Zhao Yao at the exit of the secret passage. When they saw him coming out, they rushed towards him happily.

Zhao Yao sat on the ground, hugging the cats and dogs guarding Pei's mansion.

[Yaoyao, you are finally here, we miss you so much.] Laiman said while licking Zhao Yao's face.

"I miss you too." Zhao Yao kissed them all, "I want to study. I don't have time to see you on weekdays, so I can only wait for Xiu Mu to come to find you."

[Yaoyao, you have worked hard to study.]

"By the way, are there anyone wandering around Pei's Mansion recently?"

【Someone ran in a few days ago.】

"Run in?" Zhao Yao asked in shock, "Several people ran in, what did they do?"

[Four people came in, they looked through all the houses, as if they were looking for something.] Laiman said, [However, they found nothing, and then they never came in again and did not wander around.]

"Looking for something?" Zhao Yao asked with confusion, "What are they looking for?"

[They kept talking about that thing, that thing, but they didn't say what it was.] Come and do it, [just look at their appearance, the thing they are looking for is very important.]

"What is important?" Zhao Yao became more and more confused, "Is there anything important in Pei's mansion?"

[No, there is nothing in Pei's mansion.]

If there is really something important in the Pei Mansion, it is impossible not to know if it is filled with them.

"Then what are they looking for?"

【Don't know.】 Lai Man tilted his little head and said, [Those people were very strange. When they ran in, they were wearing black clothes and covered their faces, making them look as shameless.]

"Strange, it's really weird." Zhao Yao said to Lai Man and them, "You continue to be optimistic about the Pei Mansion. If those weird people are entering the Pei Mansion, you must tell me as soon as possible."

[Okay.] Lai Man just finished speaking, suddenly thought of something and said, [By the way, Yaoyao, those people left the capital.]

"Leave the capital?"

[That night, after those people left Pei Mansion, I followed them quietly. They lived in the Ping'an Guest House in the west of the city, and they left the next morning.]

"Then do they say where to go?"

[Not saying that they all look fierce and evil, and they don’t know what good people they are at first sight.] They are full of a very smart and human-minded dog. Over the years, they have been wandering in the capital, seeing all kinds of people, and have long developed the ability to observe words and expressions.

"It seems that I have to go to Ping An Guesthouse tomorrow to inquire." He had to figure out what these weird people were from and see if they were in danger.

Tongxi saw that it was dark outside the window and reminded Zhao Yao: "Your Highness, it's dark, we should leave, otherwise the second master will be anxious."

"Come on, come with us." Zhao Yao stood up and patted his butt, and told the other cats and dogs that he would give them some delicious food later.

Lai Man shook his tail and happily followed Zhao Yao and the others to leave the Pei Mansion. It ran out first, then looked around, confirmed that there was no one, and returned to inform Zhao Yao and the others.

Zhao Yao and the others left Pei Mansion, and then ran into an alley closest to Pei Mansion. After leaving the alley, there was a lively situation outside.

Passers-by didn't give a look at the two beggars and a dog that suddenly appeared.

When Zhao Yao smelled the fragrance of the roadside snack stall, he was immediately hungry and couldn't help swallowing.

The owner of the snack stall saw Zhao Yao, the beggar staring at his stall with his eyes, and waved to him disgust: "Get out! Get out! Get out!"

Zhao Yao pretended to be scared and ran away quickly.

Then, he took Tong Xihe and Laiman to a dim alley. At the entrance of the alley, a young man looked around and stretched his neck and waited.

When he saw two beggars coming with a big yellow dog, he felt happy and hurried forward.

"Second uncle, I'm here." Zhao Yao ran towards him happily when he saw the young man.

Liang Run hurriedly walked forward and hugged Zhao Yao.

"I want to die of my second uncle."

"I miss my second uncle very much, too." Zhao Yao rubbed Liang Run's face.

"Let the second uncle take a good look." Liang Run looked at Zhao Yao carefully and found that his cute nephew's face had been thinner. "Why did you lose weight? It must be that studying is too hard."

"Yes, it's so hard to study... Gulugu..." Before Zhao Yao finished speaking, his little stomach started to scream in hunger.

"I'm hungry, my second uncle will take you back for dinner." Liang Run said while holding Zhao Yao home, "I made hot pot for you, and it made it all your favorite dishes."

"My second uncle is the best." Zhao Yao said sweetly.

"How are your mother's days?" Liang Zhaoyi is Liang Run's sister. He has been attached to Liang Zhaoyi since he was a child. When Liang Zhaoyi entered the palace to perform, he cried for a long time.

"My mother is very good. She eats well, drinks well, and sleeps well."

"I haven't been bullied?"

"No."

Liang Run didn't really believe it: "Isn't there really?"

"Really." Zhao Yao said seriously, "Mother is very smart. How could someone bully her? She wouldn't let others bully me." His mother is the smartest concubine in the palace.
