I traveled to ancient times and wanted to be a mother. I made a fortune by relying on chicken babies

When he got up in the morning, Zhao Yang didn't go back and followed Lu Zhuo to Meiyuan again.

After what happened yesterday, the place looked very deserted, and even the palace maid and eunuch Lu Zhuo who was guarding them temporarily asked them to leave.

"The place is big and they are timid. They were so frightened yesterday that they all came to beg me, princess. I will let them all go back and rest for a while."

Lu Zhuo is kind-hearted and doesn't like to argue with these servants.

Zhao Yang can also understand their thoughts. For ordinary people, life and death are the most important things.

Who knows who is hiding behind this, and who is so vicious.

If she stayed here, she would have to consider whether she dared to go out and have a wedding in the middle of the night.

However, when he came to Meiyuan today, Lu Zhuo still felt uneasy. In addition to the palace maids and eunuchs he brought with him, he also brought a few guards.

In the morning, the emperor also sent someone to ask about the whole story. He was relieved to know that Zhao Yang was accompanying Lu Zhuo.

Hearing Lu Zhuo say that he was going to solve the case again, the emperor agreed without thinking.

In fact, he had also heard that Zhao Yang could not only cure diseases, but also solve crimes.

Jingzhao Yin Luyuan is incompetent, and the case is basically all Zhao Yang's help.

The big case a while ago was also solved by Zhao Yang.

Thinking that it was his precious daughter's garden after all, the emperor also hoped to know the truth as soon as possible, so he agreed.

They even sent extra manpower to look after them.

With these people, Lu Zhuo is no longer afraid.

The garden was bustling, but the further we walked toward the study, the colder Lu Zhuo felt.

"This is it. I discovered it by accident. I asked my grandmother and she said it might have been there before. Even my grandmother didn't know when this secret passage appeared."

Lu Zhuo took Zhao Yang into a cave, and Zhao Yang discovered that there was a different cave here.

The cave goes down, and the temperature inside is lower than outside.

There was a faint sound of dripping water inside, which was particularly clear in the empty cave.

This place doesn't look like it was formed naturally. I don't know who dug it. Zhao Yang took a closer look and asked, "Your Highness, when did you take over the Plum Garden?"

"About five years ago."

Lu Zhuo was 11 years old at that time, and the first thing he did when he took over the plum garden was to have a lot of fun. He only started holding flower viewing conferences when he was 12 years old.

It lasted four years from the beginning.

Zhao Yang shook his head and his tone became serious, "Your Highness, I have to tell you something, but I hope you won't be too afraid."

"what's up?"

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and Lu Zhuo quickly grabbed Zhao Yang's hand.

Zhao Yang said, "This secret path seems to have been completed in the past two or three years. It is definitely not an old secret path that existed during the period of the Empress Dowager."

"what???"

Lu Zhuo was really scared, and his hands were cold from fear.

"Ayang, are you sure?"

"Well, as long as you find a few craftsmen who are good at construction, you should be able to figure it out."

"Does Your Highness come here frequently?"

Lu Zhuo shook his head, "No, I come here at most two or three times a year, and the longest stay is only seven days. I stayed here for a while one summer before, but there were too many mosquitoes and I couldn't bear their disturbance. Let’s go back to the palace.”

"So how many servants and how many stewards were there originally?"

The empty cave echoed, and Lu Zhao was afraid to let the guards stand around, so she began to remember it carefully.

"Yes, there are three stewards, one is Aunt Gui, one is the eunuch Wang Shichong, and the other is the eldest maid Cui Yan. They are all veterans, and Aunt Gui was originally my wet nurse, because she didn't like the people in the palace. According to the rules, I will send her here to retire. Now that something happened, everyone has to leave first. There are about forty or fifty servants, because it still requires a lot of servants to hold the Hua Zhaohui, so they are usually responsible There’s nothing wrong with sweeping the place and so on.”

"Most people don't want to come here because they think there's not much to gain, so the servants are replaced one after another."

Zhao Yang nodded, "I mean, if you want to build such a passage, it is definitely impossible to completely hide it from the people here. There must be someone among these people in charge who knows about it."

She said it calmly, but Lu Zhuo next to her was no longer calm.

These servants were all whom she trusted, but when she suddenly heard that there was a problem, she broke into a cold sweat on her back.

"Ayang, you, please stop talking."

Zhao Yang looked apologetic in his eyes, "I'm sorry, Your Highness, I was the one who rashly doubted you."

"No, no, I just think what you said is terrible. If they had known about this tunnel for a long time, or even watched it being built, that would be terrible!"

Zhao Yang didn't know what Lu Zhuo was afraid of, and he didn't know whether to say it for a moment.

But the more scared people become, the more curious they become. Lu Zhuo took Zhao Yang's hand and continued to pester her.

"Then, if they really did it, what did they want to do?"

"Is the study at the end of the secret passage?"

"Yes."

"Let's take a walk inside first."

The entire road was brightly lit. Zhao Yang was walking in front, escorted by several guards. The sound of burning flames gave him an inexplicable sense of peace of mind.

But Lu Zhuo was still afraid, and his steps shrank.

Fortunately, Zhao Yang walked smoothly and finally reached the end.

"Going up here is the study, which is connected to a floor in the house."

"I see."

Zhao Yang led people up and looked around carefully. It seemed like there were people coming and going here often, and the floor tiles were very smooth.

However, Zhao Yang did not tell Lu Zhuo, fearing that she would be frightened.

"Your Highness, shall we go up?"

"it is good!"

Lu Zhuo followed Zhao Yang up. It did lead to the study, and it was very inconspicuous.

"Your Highness, how did you discover this place in the first place?"

"Actually, one day I was drinking tea here, and I found that the tea was seeping down. I thought there was something wrong with the floor, so I asked someone to repair it, and then I discovered that there was a secret passage here, which is the one where I came here to escape the summer heat. In the summer, after I found out, I took my servants in to check, but nothing was found, so I didn’t take it to heart.”

"Did His Highness find out when he came?"

"No, I've been here for almost seven days. I discovered it on the sixth day. On the seventh day, I don't know why, but suddenly there were a lot of mosquitoes. I didn't like those things, so I hurried back to the palace. I also asked the imperial grandmother. , but the imperial grandmother was ill at that time, so I didn’t ask anything."

It seems that everything is a coincidence. When Lu Zhuo suddenly couldn't live here, I'm afraid it was definitely not because of the increase in mosquitoes, but because someone deliberately did it.

This person knew that Lu Zhuo was afraid of mosquitoes and deliberately did it to scare her.

As soon as Lu Zhuo left, the person behind it must be the king, and it would not be easy to do whatever he wanted to do.

"Ayang, why don't you speak?"

"I was just wondering, is there anything valuable in your highness's study?"

"Not really."
