Jiang Xuan hurried on, and finally came to Danyang City when the sun went down on the fifth day.

From the capital to Danyang, it took Meng Yuxin and his party about ten days to stop and go, but Jiang Xuan forcibly shortened the time by half.When he learned the secret from Goldman Sachs, Meng Yuxin had already left for seven days. He had no choice but to travel day and night and sleep at most one hour a day.

His subordinate Lu Xirui suggested: "Master, why don't we stay in an inn first, and then contact General Duan tomorrow?"

"No, let's go directly to the palace." Although Jiang Xuan hadn't had a good night's sleep these days, Jiang Xuan was not tired at all. He had a belief in his heart that supported him and made him not give up until he reached his goal.

Seeing Jiang Xuan's persistence, Lu Xirui didn't dare to persuade him any more. He sighed in his heart that Jiang Xuan was determined. There were 12 of them in his party, all of whom were veterans in leading troops and fighting, but they couldn't stand the journey for five consecutive days.

The sky gradually darkened, and Jiang Xuan knew that today was the night of the full moon, for no reason, she felt inexplicably flustered.He didn't dare to waste time, and let his men disperse into the city to reduce the risk of being noticed by the city guards. His heart was pounding along the way, afraid that something might happen.

Jiang Xuan asked his subordinates to gather at the west gate, and then entered the palace through the secret passage on the west side according to the map provided by Goldman Sachs.The secret passage had been there for some years, it was full of dust, and the air was filthy, Jiang Xuan couldn't help coughing a few times.But he wanted to see Meng Yuxin soon, so he didn't take these difficulties seriously.

Chu land is a battleground for military strategists. The palace of Southern Chu has a history of hundreds of years. In order to avoid military disasters and courtier rebellions, secret roads were built at the beginning of its construction. After that, successive emperors continued to improve it, forming a complex underground world.Jiang Xuan walked in the front, but found traces of fresh soil halfway. He knew it was strange, but he didn't have time to delve into it.

He quickened his pace and led the people towards Meng Yuxin's residence, Youlanxuan. The exit was a rockery in Youlanxuan.Regardless of Lu Xirui's obstruction, Jiang Xuan came out first to inquire about the situation. There was silence in You Lan Xuan, and Jiang Xuan did not see anyone.Holding his saber, he nimbly ran towards You Lanxuan's bedroom, and when he entered the room, he saw Xiao Liu, the eunuch of Jinghua Pavilion, and he quickly signaled Xiao Liu to be quiet.

"Third Prince, why are you here?"

"Where's Xiuyi?"

"Xiuyi has gone to Jiulongchi."

"Nine Dragons Pool?" Jiang Xuan yelled secretly, and immediately took out the map to look at it, and found that the dirt traces he saw just now were very close to Nine Dragons Pool.The worry in his heart rushed to the top, and he quickly told Xiao Liu: "Go and tell General Duan that Xiu Yi is in danger, let him protect Xiu Yi, and, if you take this, he will believe your words. Remember! No matter what happens, the garrison in the palace must not be disturbed."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Xuan handed the jade pendant to Xiao Liu, and asked Xiao Liu to report the news quickly. He hurried back to the rockery to meet his subordinates, and then went to Jiulongchi along the secret road.

The origin of the name of Jiulong Pool is related to the nine dragon-shaped stone carvings in the bathing pool. These stone carvings are of different shapes and lifelike.It used to be a place only for emperors to enter, and the building specifications were very high. Meng Yuxin had to pass through three gates to truly enter Nine Dragons Pool.

The last gate was a heavy wooden gate with dragons and phoenixes carved on it, which looked very noble. After passing through this gate, Meng Yuxin felt suddenly hot.There are tables and chairs behind the door, and directly opposite the door is a huge Su-embroidered screen with two dragons playing with pearls. Through the screen, Meng Yuxin can feel the heat blowing towards her face.

It was already a hot day now, and with the heat in the room, he was sweating all over and felt very uncomfortable.In the hot air, mixed with the smell of flowers and herbs, several court ladies were putting things into the pond.Meng Yuxin didn't know much about medicine, so she guessed it was something used to assist in bathing.

"Xiuyi, the bedroom is on the left. After you take a bath, you can go to the bedroom to rest." Manager Qi introduced to Meng Yuxin.

"Okay, I'm sorry to trouble you, Mr. Qi."

"Then Xiuyi will enjoy it, and this servant will leave now." Saying this, Director Qi took all his people away, leaving behind Meng Yuxin's own people.

"My lord, this bathroom is really big." Qiu He couldn't help admiring as soon as Manager Qi left.

Meng Yuxin nodded: "The climate in the southern Chu area is hot and humid. In ancient times, many emperors suffered from rheumatism. Hot baths combined with secret recipes can relieve pain. So in this palace, apart from the two main palaces, this is the biggest one."

"No wonder."

Qiu He couldn't help looking around, but seeing Duan Li and his people guarding the door, he asked: "General Duan, the young master wants to take a bath, are you staying here all the time?"

Qiuhe's words reminded Meng Yuxin, and he said, "General Duan, there is only one entrance to Jiulongchi, so you should guard outside the main entrance."

"I want to ensure the safety of Xiu Yi." Duan Li did not dare to relax, and today he received a secret letter from Goldman Sachs, saying that the third prince is on his way, and asked him to cooperate in hiding the whereabouts of the third prince, and repeatedly ordered him to protect him He loves Xiuyi, so Duan Li dare not slack off.

"How about this, General Duan, you send someone to check here, if there is no problem, then you can take it in and out, so that we will not embarrass each other, don't you think so?"

Meng Yuxin's words were impeccable, and Duan Li couldn't find anything to refute. He had no choice but to lead his men to check the Nine Dragons Pool up and down, inside and out. guarded outside.Meng Yuxin asked his attendants to go out too, leaving only Qiuhe alone. For so many years, he didn't let anyone come close to serve him.

It was very hot in the bathroom. Meng Yuxin took off his clothes and walked slowly along the steps into the pool. The pool was very big. He picked up the petals in the pool to play with, and found it very interesting.The Nine Dragon stone sculpture in the pool spouted hot water. Meng Yuxin came under the faucet and let the hot water spray on her hair, enjoying the baptism of hot water with her eyes closed.

The gauze around the bath was put down, and the gauze floated in the air like mist, adding a dreamlike beauty to the bath.And Meng Yuxin is like a fairy in a fairyland, with her long hair rippling in the water, her slender figure looming in the water, everything is like a dream.

Qiuhe put the tray with cotton cloth by the pool, took the clothes Meng Yuxin had taken off, went to the dormitory to hang up the clothes, then took out the clothes she brought over, folded them neatly, and waited for Meng Yuxin It's good to come and wear after bathing.She knew that Meng Yuxin didn't like going to see him take a bath by herself, so she stayed here to pass the time.

Suddenly, Qiu He heard a sound coming from the closet. She thought it was a mouse, and walked over slowly, but before she was ready, the closet was suddenly opened, and a person came out of it, and she was knocked out very quickly. she.

"Qiuhe, what's the matter with you?" Meng Yuxin wiped the water off her face when she heard the movement, and asked how Qiuhe was doing.

"Young master, it's okay, I touched the wardrobe."

Hearing the familiar voice, Meng Yuxin felt relieved. The Nine Dragons Pool had been thoroughly inspected by Duan Li, and he believed that there would be no problems.But if Meng Yuxin saw Qiuhe's voice coming from an old man's mouth with his own eyes, he would be speechless in surprise, but unfortunately he was still bathing in the bathtub.

While washing and washing, Meng Yuxin felt that the water temperature was a bit high, so he came to the edge of the pool with some discomfort, and leaned against the wall of the pool.But he still felt that the water temperature was very high, so he said: "Qiuhe, go ask someone to put less charcoal, the water temperature is too high." In fact, the eunuchs in the palace are all veterans, so it is impossible for such a big problem to occur, but Meng Yuxin was a little dizzy and forgot to think about the reason behind this abnormality.

"Yes." Meng Yuxin was relieved when he heard someone walking towards the door, and leaned against the pool wall to relieve the heat.

However, Meng Yuxin quickly discovered the problem, not because the water temperature was high, but because his body was too hot.He felt like his body was on fire, exuding a scorching breath, his cheeks and body began to turn red, and his whole body was glowing red, like a flower bud that was about to bloom.

Meng Yuxin leaned against the wall of the pool, trying to relieve the heat of his body, but he soon discovered more abnormalities, an itching feeling came from an unspeakable part of his body, and he couldn't control himself.He was sweating non-stop, because the relationship with the water was not obvious, he felt that the fire in his body seemed to rush out of his skin and burn him.

At this time, no matter how dull Meng Yuxin was, he knew that he had been drugged. He didn't understand that even though he was in the palace, what he ate and used was according to the standards in the palace. How could it be possible to use traditional Chinese medicine?Meng Yuxin couldn't figure it out, but now there was no time for him to figure out the truth.

"Qiuhe, Qiuhe..." he shouted, his voice was a little hoarse, and it couldn't be heard very far.He leaned on the wall of the pool and wanted to stand up, but he had no strength in his body, and accidentally fell into the water, and the pool water covered his head, making him unable to breathe for a moment.

Suddenly there was a strong force that pulled him out of the water. He stood naked by the hot spring pool, and the water on his body kept flowing to the ground. "Why are you still so careless?" A familiar voice came to her ears, and Meng Yuxin looked at the person in surprise: "Father, father, why are you here? Aren't you sick?" Meng Yuxin flusteredly draped the cotton cloth in the tray on the On myself, but the cotton cloth is too small and can only barely cover the important parts.

"Xin'er, do you know? I've been waiting for this day for too long." Meng Jingnan didn't look sick at all. He stared at Meng Yuxin, and the eyes with strange light made the confused Meng Yuxin notice it. What was wrong, he tried his best to ignore the discomfort in his body, and said, "Father, please go out for a while, wait for me to tidy up my appearance, and see you again."

"Get out?" Meng Jingnan smiled, "Can you leave me now?" Meng Jingnan's hand deliberately brushed across Meng Yuxin's arm, causing Meng Yuxin to tremble, and the flames inside her body became more and more intense, creating a feeling of emptiness. Desperately needs to be filled.

"It's you?" No matter how confused Meng Yuxin was, she now understood that her anomaly had something to do with Meng Jingnan.He tried his best to shout for someone, but the voice was too low to pass through the heavy wooden door, so he had to take vain steps, trying to run towards the gate, but Meng Jingnan grabbed him: "Where are you going?" Meng Yuxin came to the dormitory and ordered the people he brought to guard outside the room.
