Chapter 928: Sudden Changes (3)
The emperor died, and he was the crown prince, so he should have inherited the throne. Although the King of Qin was born of a legitimate son and won a victory, he committed the crime of regicide and patricide, which was unforgivable. Anyone who dared to speak up for him would be the same as him and would be charged with regicide.
As soon as the King of Qin returned to the capital, he immediately let him die, and also eliminated his followers. The Duke of Liguo, the Marquis of Jian'an, the Prime Minister Ning, the General Protector of the Country, as long as they stood in the King of Qin's team, they would all die!
And that Queen Mo, he had been against his mother for more than 20 years. When he became the emperor, he would turn her into a "human pig" to vent his mother's anger!
......*......*......
In the back garden of the King of Qin's mansion, there was a rocky rockery. The rockery was very high and large. There were many caves in the rockery, but it was pitch black inside, and there were often bats, insects and rats, so the servants in the mansion rarely went to the rockery.
At this moment, several people of different heights were quietly entering the rockery under the cover of the night, and went into the belly of the rockery from a small cave in the rockery.
"Mother, be careful!"
Caiwei and Mu Zhongqing supported Du, who was more than four months pregnant, on the left and right, carefully.
"Don't worry about me, I'm fine, take care of Wen'er and Wu'er, don't let them get into trouble."
"Don't worry, madam, we are holding the two little princes!"
Sister Liu followed closely behind Mu Zhongqing and his wife, holding Wu'er, and Chaoyun and Chunliu held Wen'er's hands on the left and right, and walked at the end of the team.
The belly of the mountain was pitch black, without a trace of light. Zhuifeng took out a fire starter to ignite it, held it in his hand, and led the way for everyone. After walking around for a while, the further they went inside, the more gloomy it became. At the end, there was no way out, and everyone stopped in front of a huge rock deep in the cave.
Zhuifeng reached out his hand and pressed a groove on the wall of the cave. Suddenly, the huge rock in front of him trembled and moved more than a foot to the left.
"Come in!"
Zhuifeng waved to everyone, signaling them to go into the cave.
"No, I won't go in. I'm afraid..."
Wu'er lay on Sister Liu's shoulder, looking timidly at the dark hole, sobbing softly. Du and Mu Zhongqing also stood there with doubts on their faces, in a dilemma.
Caiwei said: "Benboba, where does this cave lead to? Where are you taking us?"
Zhuifeng said: "Don't worry, Princess. This cave leads to the Anzhao Temple outside the city. The King of Qin has a secret manor next to the Anzhao Temple. No one knows where it is. I will take you there to settle down."
"Okay, let's go!"
Caiwei walked in first. Du was about to stop her, but she saw Chaoyun and Wen'er followed in, and Chunliu also followed them cautiously.
Du and Mu Zhongqing looked at each other, and finally said helplessly: "Let's go!"
Behind him, Wu'er saw that his parents had also gone in, so he had to stop crying, and timidly buried his little face in Liu's shoulder, and was carried into the secret passage with his shoulders twitching.
After entering, he found that this black hole was not as scary as he imagined.
The dark passage was deep and wide. The candles on the wall had been lit by Zhuifeng. The moment the candles were lit, the huge stone moved back to its original position with a rumble.
"Sister Liu, I can walk down by myself!"
Wu'er broke free from Sister Liu's arms and walked down with Wen'er. The bluestone under his feet was a path that led in all directions, making him feel like he was in a maze, which was very fun.
Zhuifeng walked in front, lighting the candles fixed on the wall as he walked. After about an hour of walking, the dark passage in front of them gradually became wider, and even a carriage was parked in the dark passage.
"Princess, please get in the carriage!"
Zhuifeng took a step forward and lifted the curtain of the carriage.
This carriage was narrower and lower than the usual carriages, without a shed, and could barely accommodate several of them. After more than an hour of driving, the carriage finally stopped.
Zhuifeng led them on a familiar journey for a while, and when they came out, they were in a quiet mountain villa.
The villa has high walls and a closed gate. The dark house and the half-man-high weeds in the yard tell everyone that no one lives here and it has been deserted for who knows how long.
"Squeak----"
The door of the house opened, and a woman's voice came through the darkness: "Is the princess here?"
"Yes, Huanqiu, you arrange it!"
"Yes, Guard Feng!"
Huanqiu? Didn't she disappear? How could she be here?
Caiwei was puzzled, and Mu Zhongqing's family was also surprised. When everyone saw Huanqiu still leaning on a cane, they felt even more wrong. What happened to Huanqiu?
Huanqiu groped in the dark and led everyone in. He assigned rooms to everyone and settled everyone down. Then he went to Caiwei and explained to her why he was away these days.
It turned out that on the way to get the flower pattern for the second young lady and Mrs. Huo, they encountered an ambush and she was seriously injured and almost died. Later, she was rescued by a nearby peasant woman and recuperated at the peasant woman's house for several days. As soon as her injuries healed, she wanted to return to the Mu family, but at that time the Mu family had moved into the Qin Wang Mansion and did not need her to protect them at all. Therefore, the Qin Wang sent her to this farm to recuperate and come back after her injuries were completely healed...
