Liu Luoyi turned her head, looked at Yu Chili who was hiding behind her, and laughed softly: "It is said that the princess is not afraid of anything, so she is afraid of this?"

Yu Chili stretched his neck, looked under the bed over Liu Luoyi's shoulder, and said depressedly: "Who said I'm not afraid of anything, I'm afraid of so many things."

And since I was frightened by horror movies when I was a child, I am particularly concerned about this weird atmosphere.

"Don't worry, there are no such things in the world. I just suddenly remembered that when I was young, I used to play games with Chang'er, sneaked into my father's bedroom and hid under the bed. That time my father lost his temper and punished me outside the door." I knelt for a whole day, and since then, I have never dared to approach this place, even when I was talking to my father, I only dared to stand outside the door."

Liu Luoyi spoke with a slightly lonely expression.

"So you're thinking, maybe there's something under the bed?" Yuchili asked, she breathed a sigh of relief, she flung her sleeves and walked towards the bed, "Then just say it, that look in the eyes scared me to death."

Liu Luoyi shook his head helplessly, and walked forward, but was pushed away by Yu Chili.

"Hurry up and stay away, be careful of getting hurt." Yu Chili said.

She held the edge of the bed with both hands, and as soon as she worked hard, she lifted the bed halfway up, and then walked a half circle, revealing the smooth floor.

She squatted down and knocked on them one by one. They were all solid floor tiles, and there was no place to hide things.

"No." Yu Chili turned to look at Liu Luoyi, quite regretful.

Frowning tightly, Liu Luoyi squatted down with Yuchili, took the fire folder, and observed it carefully against the ground.

"Princess, look, this brick is a bit smaller than the others, and the gap is filled with mortar, which is different from other bricks and stones, it seems to be filled later." Liu Luoyi said, she cleared a space, Let Yuchi leave to watch.

"Indeed." Yu Chili's expression also became serious, she stretched out her hand to pull Liu Luoyi up, then took out a dagger from her body, and patiently scratched it around the brick.

She struggled profusely with sweat, and finally pried the brick off the ground. Underneath were rammed hard brick slag and loess.

Yuchili and Liu Luoyi looked at each other, and after receiving a positive affirmation, they continued to dig up the brick slag and loess with a knife. Soon, a corner of a box was exposed, and Yuchili simply removed the brick next to it. The stone was also pried open, and the whole box was dug out.

The box is made of nanmu, very hard, and the mouth of the box is sealed with wax. It seems that the things inside are very valuable, which is why they are so carefully preserved.

Yuchili opened the box carefully, but the expected scene did not happen, and there was only a pile of unframed paintings inside.

Liu Luoyi took a step forward and knelt down, carefully took out the paintings inside, and flipped through them one by one.

Her hands trembled a little.

Although Yu Chili didn't understand these things, he was also attracted by those paintings. Perhaps it was a long time ago, and the edges of the paper had turned yellow, but the contents were not less amazing. Most of the paintings were landscapes, which can be described as lifelike.

Occasionally, there are a few small scenes outlined with only a small amount of ink, which are enough to make people amazed.

"Princess, look here." Liu Luoyi stretched out her slender fingers, pointing to a small line of words at the bottom, "There is a girl in the Cheng family who draws a pen, and the dry land is full of grass."

"This is my father's handwriting." Liu Luoyi looked at Yu Chili, his voice trembling, "These paintings were drawn by my mother."

Hearing this, Yu Chili hurriedly took out all the other things from the box, except for some paintings, there were also a few letters.

"Let's go back and see, it's not safe here." Yu Chili said as he quickly put all the things into the box, and then laid the bricks and stones again, and pressed them firmly.

The two of them didn't speak much on the way back, Liu Luoyi was immersed in the shock of discovering her mother's belongings, and Yu Chili was afraid of disturbing her.

There was no one in the mansion, Xin Ran hadn't come back yet, and Yu Chidie had gone somewhere, only Liu Wenshang's room was lit, and Yu Chili pushed open his door directly, startling him.

"Princess, sister, why are you here?" Liu Wenshang covered her body and hid on the bed in a panic.

"I'm wiping my body." After Yu Chili stood still, he looked him up and down, and nodded, "Not bad, he has a tight body, it seems that he has not slackened in his practice recently. Remember, you have to be strong to protect you elder sister."

Liu Wenshang desperately covered herself with the quilt, wanting to cry, but she was very happy to hear the praise, but can you change the time?

What's more, he wanted to protect his sister, but he didn't have a chance.

Liu Luoyi frowned and coughed, and poked Yuchili violently.

Yu Chili patted his forehead, almost forgot that this was ancient times, he hurriedly took a step back and closed the door, waited for Liu Wenshang to get dressed before going in again, and put the heavy box in his arms on the table.

"Your mother's name is Cheng Qiqi?" She cut to the chase.

Both Liu Luoyi and Liu Wenshang nodded.

She must be a talented woman to be able to draw such excellent works, but why did Liu Ru throw away all the things related to his wife at home after his wife died, but hide these paintings under the bed? Haven't seen the sun for a long time.

Yu Chili frowned tightly, looking at the painting in his hand, always felt that he was approaching some shocking secret.

"Do you still remember what she looked like?" Yu Chili asked again.

"My mother passed away within a few days after I was born." Liu Wenshang said.

Liu Luoyi thought for a while before answering: "I was just a child at the time, I only remember that mother and father are very affectionate, and I can't remember anything else. After growing up, father seldom mentioned it. Mother, but she has never taken a concubine to marry a wife, she only took out this silver bracelet and said that it will be handed over to me on the day I get married."

Yu Chili nodded, and looked at the paintings carefully. When he saw the last one, he was startled and stopped moving.

It was a portrait, the only human figure in these paintings.

The person in the portrait is very similar to Liu Luoyi, whether it is the eyebrows, or the expression and temperament between the eyebrows.

If it wasn't for the fact that the paper had turned yellow, it would have been mistaken for Liu Luoyi.

Liu Luoyi walked to Yuchili's side, and was also stunned. She looked at the woman in the portrait with the posture of a celestial being, and her body softened. Yuchili quickly dropped the painting, stood up and supported her.

"What's wrong with you?" she asked worriedly.

Liu Luoyi shook her head, but after seeing the person in the painting, she suddenly felt very sad.

"It's my mother." Her voice trembled.

Yu Chili remained silent, helped Liu Luoyi to a chair and sat down, and went to read the letters by himself, most of them were talking to himself, like Liu Ru and Cheng Qiqi's love words.

There are a few sentences that are very strange.

"He came to the door again today, saying he was sympathetic to the officials, but he actually wanted to see you, but I knelt down and blocked the door, so he didn't succeed... What you said that day, I didn't believe it, but it was just fear. He and I He is a friend of Jinlan, how could he collude with the enemy and treason..."

Yuchili read it carefully twice, and finally realized that these two are not the same person.

As for the former, there is no one but the emperor who can sympathize with officials.

It seems that there is indeed a story between Cheng Qiqi and the emperor, and Liu Luoyi looks very similar to Cheng Qiqi, that's why the emperor was so excited when he was in the palace that day.

Yuchili figured out the connection in just a few moments, but there were still many doubts, but after all, he had some clues.

Could it be that the emperor was dissatisfied with Cheng Qiqi's marriage to Liu Ru, and that's why he put Liu Ru in jail under the pretext?

Yu Chili shook his head immediately after thinking about it, it's impossible, if so, why wait so many years before doing it.

Who is the person mentioned in the letter, the friend of Jinlan...

"Xiao Liu'er, Wenshang, do you remember, does Master Liu have any old friends?" Yu Chili handed the envelope to Liu Luoyi, leaning over to ask.

Liu Wenshang shook his head, and said: "Daddy seldom mentions the affairs of the court. We children only care about playing and never care about it. Moreover, Daddy's character is a bit strange... Although he is admired by many people, he never cares about it." No one else was brought into the home."

Yu Chili looked at Liu Luoyi again.

Liu Luoyi thought about it carefully, and suddenly said: "I remember, when I was very young, there was a person who often came to the mansion to drink and play chess with my father. At that time, Chang'er didn't remember anything, but I remembered it, but I never saw him again. him."

It was a bit difficult to find out, Yu Chili sighed, and handed those paintings to Liu Luoyi: "Forget it, I'm tired today, go back and rest first, now I have a clue, I'll try to figure it out tonight."

Liu Luoyi took the painting, reached out and grabbed Yu Chili's sleeve, shook it lightly, and said, "Thank you for your hard work, princess. There is still today's gift, thank you."

Yu Chili laughed when she heard the words, she patted Liu Luoyi's head naturally: "What's the hard work, your business is my business, the sooner you rescue Master Liu, the sooner we return to the north area."

When Liu Luoyi heard that she was talking about us, the loneliness on her face disappeared in an instant, and she lowered her head and smiled.

Liu Wenshang looked at her sister's expression in astonishment, suddenly felt that the world was abnormal.

Although my elder sister would also smile at him, but this kind of expression has never been seen with anyone. It looks like a girl Huaichun?

He shuddered, but suddenly felt that if the object was Princess Yuchi, anyone could show such a shy expression, and if it was him, maybe it would be no better than his sister.

Quite, of course.

Yu Chili said hello to them, turned and went out the door, the smile on Liu Luoyi's face didn't disappear until her figure disappeared.

"Shang'er, what should sister do if she likes someone?" She asked suddenly.

"Being liked by someone as good as my sister, no matter who it is, will be happy." Liu Wenshang replied honestly, and then came up, "Could it be that my sister has someone she likes, who is it? "

"It's not a young master, it's just that she doesn't seem to like me." Liu Luoyi sighed lightly.

"How come, sister is the best woman in the world, oh, except Princess Yuchi." Liu Wenshang said seriously.

"What's the use of that?" Liu Luoyi smiled wryly.

"Why is it useless? For a girl like Sister, even if she stands coldly, others will like it. People who don't like it will naturally like it if they step forward to tease her." Liu Wenshang suddenly smiled.

Liu Luoyi blushed, and turned to beat Liu Wenshang: "You are young, where did you learn this?"

"It was taught by the eldest princess, she asked me to tell you this." Liu Wenshang said aggrievedly.
