Huo Changhe's carriage stopped, and he gave Princess Mingzhao a look to get ready.

At this time, the servant's voice sounded: "Your Majesty, Princess, please get out of the car."

The two got out of the car. Huo Changhe coughed twice and glanced around. This was a backyard. The carriage drove directly into the courtyard. The courtyard was open, with few furnishings, and even a little empty.

Huo Changhe vaguely felt that something was wrong with the courtyard. Looking ahead, he saw a tall building. Look at the shape of the building.

He knew where this was.

Reach for the stars in the backyard at night.

It turned out to be the case.

Shen Huaixin also knew that if he was poisoned, he would definitely think that it was the hairpin that Yan Ruyu bought here. In this case, picking the stars that night was equivalent to being exposed.

As of now, Shen Huaixin is no longer afraid.

Huo Changhe asked: "Where is Shen Huaixin?"

The boy smiled: "Your Majesty, the city envoy is not here. He hasn't arrived yet. You have to walk a little further."

Huo Changhe was puzzled and saw the boy walking to the lotus vat in the corner and groping inside for a while.

There was a "crack" sound, like an iron chain being pulled, and a gap opened in the ground in the courtyard.

The boy pointed: "Your Majesty, please come with me."

Jin Qing wanted to get off first, but the boy stopped him and said, "You don't have to follow. Just guard the carriage here."

Jin Qing was displeased, so Huo Changhe spoke at the right time: "Just wait, don't be rude."

Jin Chi didn't say anything, just lowered his head and took two steps back.

The boy was very satisfied with Huo Changhe's attitude. He couldn't hide his pride in his eyes and led the way.

What about the prince? Now we have to go as the city envoy says, or we have to obey his orders obediently?

Huo Changhe didn't take it seriously at all. There was no need to be angry with such a villain - when the time came, just kill him.

The tunnel was dark and cold, but not damp.

Huo Changhe took out his head-mounted searchlight and illuminated the passage.

Princess Mingzhao was surprised: "What is this?"

The boy was also surprised and reached out to take it. Huo Changhe's eyes turned cold and he subconsciously retracted his hand.

"I just wanted to take a look, just out of curiosity."

Huo Changhe said calmly: "This is a solar lamp. It absorbs the sun's rays, stores it, and then releases it for use at night."

Princess Mingzhao marveled: "There are such magical things in the world."

No need to ask further, it must belong to the princess.

Princess Mingzhao couldn't wait to see Yan Ruyu, couldn't wait to hear her stories, and see how many strange things she had.

The three of them walked quickly in the passage with three thoughts.

Huo Changhe looked at the passage. It didn't look like it was newly dug. It should have been gone long ago, and there was more than one way. Besides the one they were taking now, there were others.

Where do those roads lead to? Who practiced it and when?

Huo Changhe was suspicious and turned to look at Princess Mingzhao.

Princess Mingzhao also looked surprised and shook her head slowly, expressing her ignorance.

She is very upset now, regretting that she did not live a good life. She stayed in the house all day without going out and knew nothing about the outside world. Now she is better, so passive.

Huo Changshe counted the time silently, and a little colorless powder fell from his fingertips.

……

Yan Ruyu heard the sound of footsteps and opened her eyes.

The secret guard whispered: "Princess, someone is coming."

"who?"

"It's Shen Huaixin."

Yan Ruyu glanced at the yard not far away and nodded: "Keep waiting, don't disturb him."

"Yes."

When Shen Huaixin arrived, the prince was not far away.

Shen Huaixin entered the house and sat down in a small courtyard. There were torches in the courtyard and a charcoal basin was placed in front of him. The charcoal inside was burning brightly.

Sit down and warm yourself by the fire. There is a small table next to you, with some exquisite snacks on it and a pot of hot tea.

Just after drinking half a cup, there was movement underground. He continued to drink tea without raising his head.

When Huo Changhe came out of the tunnel, he looked up and saw Shen Huaixin wearing a fur coat and a furnace, looking luxurious.

He can really pretend - Huo Changhe secretly laughed in his heart, this guy must be a sack.

Until he came up, Shen Huaixin didn't even look at him, and the boy came up to greet him.

"Sir, the people are here."

Shen Huaixin then turned his head and glanced at Huo Changhe.

"My lord, we meet again."

As he spoke, he looked around. Huo Changhe was well-dressed, but his complexion was too poor, ashen and gray, and the red lines under his chin and neck were shocking. His cheeks were quite sunken, and his eyes were black and blue. This was the case for people who had been ill and suffered for a long time. Three parts of the soul seemed to be floating out of the body.

Shen Huaixin was very satisfied.

"The prince is unwell, but he is not as arrogant, murderous, and brave as before."

Huo Changhe pretended to cough twice: "Yes, my body is sick, so naturally it is not like before, but my heart is as vicious as ever."

Shen Huaixin smiled, not angry at his sarcasm.

Being sarcastic means you are unhappy and have touched a sore spot.

Shen Huaixin was happy to make Huo Changhe unhappy.

"What the prince said is quite interesting," Shen Huaixin slowly drank a cup of tea.

He didn't ask them to sit down, nor did he even prepare chairs.

Huo Changhe asked: "What exactly does Shen Cheng want to do after all the hard work? You might as well just say it."

"This king came late at night to show his sincerity. The city envoy should tell you quickly."

Shen Huaixin slapped the table.

"Huo Changhe, who are you talking to?"

Huo Changhe snorted to himself, he just couldn't bear it anymore and it was too early.

"And you," Huo Changhe said, "didn't someone invite us here? Otherwise, what would we be doing here? Where are we?"

"You don't need to know where this is. I think you haven't understood the situation. Your life is in my hands now."

Huo Changhe was silent for a moment: "What do you want?"

Princess Mingzhao spoke at the right moment: "Mr. Shen Cheng, the prince is impatient and tortured by poison. He is in a bad mood. Please bear with me."

Her soft words made Shen Huaixin very useful.

"Hmph, if you're in a bad mood, just bear with it! You'd better see clearly that no one can save you except me."

Shen Huaixin leaned back on his chair with an arrogant attitude: "Huo Changhe, put away your previous arrogance and stop putting on airs. Otherwise..."

His tone turned harsh: "I don't think you want to taste the pain of the past two days again, right?"

Huo Changhe wanted to say something, but Princess Mingzhao tugged on his sleeve with a smile on her face.

"He doesn't want to. Ambassador Shen Cheng, please tell us what you want us to do."

The word "command" pleased Shen Huaixin.

He nodded; "The princess is still sensible. My lord, I see that you have nothing to do all day long. As an exile, you have to do some work. Otherwise, why are you here? Are you enjoying your happiness?"

"Starting from tomorrow, go to my envoy's camp and listen outside my envoy's tent."

They are just small soldiers who serve outside the tent. They usually stand guard, report messages, and run errands. They have no chance to go into battle to kill the enemy.

Huo Changhe simply laughed angrily, this bitch is so brave.

Princess Mingzhao was surprised and said: "Didn't you say before that you want the prince to be a general? With how skilled and accomplished the prince is, how can he be overqualified?"

"As I said before, but his attitude was bad, I changed my mind, isn't it okay?"
