"Do you do this, Princess Hui'an agrees?" Ji Wanghuai and Si He walked side by side, this is a rare time for them to be alone.

"Why don't you agree?" Si He laughed, "Anyway, I already know what I want to know, and there is no need to play games with Master anymore."

Up to now, he has almost understood all the actions of Princess Hui'an and Star Official Linyuan.All things, origin and extinction, all come from the word love.

In fact, this book has nothing to do with him, Si He, perhaps it is his grandfather's love debt.

"Here we are." Ji Wanghuai stopped in his tracks, turned around with a smile, "This is the mansion of Marquis Anping."

The title of Marquis of Anping was granted by King Wen after Mu Yun's death. However, as the only remaining descendants of the Mu family, Mu Xingshu and his wife Bai Ling have long since disappeared, and the mansion still maintains its previous layout and decoration.

"Mu Mansion..." Si He murmured as he recognized the handwriting on the plaque covered by dust.

"I heard from my father that the Marquis of Anping wrote good calligraphy. Once a piece of his calligraphy and painting could sell for thousands of gold, but many merchants couldn't get it after asking for a lot of money."

A sour feeling suddenly arose in Si He's heart. If his grandparents, as well as his biological parents were still alive, would they be proud of him seeing his achievements today?

There were two soldiers guarding outside the gate of Mu Mansion, Ji Wanghuai nodded towards them, and the soldiers bowed respectfully and retreated to the side.

For the sake of Sihe, King Wen specially sent people to guard the outside of Mu Mansion, and even kept all the layout of the mansion as it was.

When Si He took the first step into the entrance hall, he didn't say a word, just looked around silently.It seems that the years have stopped at this time, leaving him a comfortable place to feel the time he missed.

The tea in the tea bowl on the table had dried up, leaving light yellow tea stains, Si He picked it up carefully, held it in front of his eyes and stared at it carefully.Putting down the tea bowl, he walked lightly through the small door and walked to the other courtyard, as if his voice was louder, it would disturb this moment of peace.

"This is Marquis Anping's Star Observation Hall." Ji Wanghuai has been here many times, but he came here secretly out of curiosity when he was a child.He followed behind Si He, explaining patiently.

Si He nodded, and pushed open the old carved wooden door.Perhaps it was because the house had not been ventilated for a long time, and the cobwebs in the house were densely covered, and the dust choked him so much that he coughed.

"Are you okay?" Ji Wanghuai hastily opened the door and window, patted Si He's back, and said apologetically, "Father once said that no one is allowed to enter this room except the descendants of the Mu family. never opened."

Si He managed to catch his breath. He waved his hand and said with a smile, "I'm fine, I'm just not used to it for a while."

It seems that King Wen still has a lot of affection for his grandfather. Why did he feel that he was a heinous bastard when he said it from Yaotai's mother-in-law?

-

Shang Rusheng still had to stay in Qiguo for a day or two, and Si He went to the mansion of Marquis Anping. She wandered around the imperial city of Qiguo, unknowingly coming to Ji Wanghuai's house. palace.

Shang Rusheng, who was about to knock on the door, shrank back after thinking of Ji Wanghuai's indifferent expression.

"Elder Imperial Daughter?" Someone stopped her suddenly, Shang Rusheng looked back and saw a young man smiling at her, "Want to come to the mansion for a sit down?"

After returning to Qiguo, Qi Shu returned to Ji Wanghuai's mansion to act as a housekeeper, thus reducing the burden on Jiuqing and Yu Jiang.

"You are..." Shang Rusheng stuttered suddenly, and she could even feel her ears starting to turn red.

"I am the steward of the palace."

"Oh..." Shang Rusheng rubbed his hands to hide his embarrassment, "Young master has become the steward of the palace at such a young age, it's amazing..."

"The princess was joking." Qi Shu coughed lightly, and said with a smile, "I've already been in my thirties."

"..." Shang Rusheng raised her head abruptly, with an expression of disbelief, but the moment she raised her head, she met a pair of gentle eyes.

Qi Shu smiled and waved at her, and Shang Rusheng followed him into the palace involuntarily.When she came back to her senses, she felt her cheeks flushed with shame.

"I've heard others say that Linyuan's eldest princess is extraordinary, but today I saw her as a woman." Qi Shu praised her with a smile as he led her into the mansion.

Although Shang Rusheng knew that his words were compliments, he was still secretly happy, and couldn't help but look at him secretly.

So it turns out that the person Si He mentioned was him?

……

-

There are only Si He and Ji Wanghuai in the Star Observation Hall, but Si He has already had a cup of tea with his head down. At first, Ji Wanghuai thought that he was in a sad mood because of seeing things and thinking about others, but after a while Si He still had this expression, so he felt a little strange.

"What are you doing?" Ji Wanghuai couldn't help asking.

"It seems to be empty down here." Si He stroked his chin and stomped his feet, notwithstanding the muffled sound, Ji Wanghuai listened carefully and seemed to be a little weird indeed.

"It seems to be." Ji Wanghuai walked to his side, squatted down and examined it carefully.

Since King Wen had sealed the room, the soldiers who came to search did not find anything unusual.

"Could it be a secret room?" Ji Wanghuai frowned and stood up, groping along the wall, but found nothing.

"I've seen this pattern on the ground before in Linyuan." Si He fell into deep thought, he pondered for a moment, and suddenly realized: "It's the bedroom of star official Jiang Yunxiu!"

Both Princess Hui'an and Jiang Yunxiu had invited him to their respective palaces once before, but what Jiang Yunxiu and Princess Hui'an said was almost the same, so he didn't take it to heart.

However, the strange pattern of red candles placed on the ground in the star official's house left a deep impression on him.

"The Marquis of Anping came from the same division as the Xingguan, this pattern is not a coincidence." Ji Wanghuai said solemnly.

Si He squatted down, and touched the pattern on the ground with his fingers. "Every point of this pattern has traces, perhaps candle oil."

Ji Wanghuai hurried out of the house and gave orders loudly, not long after, a soldier ran over holding a dozen red candles.

Si He took the candles, arranged them according to their positions, then turned around and ordered: "Wonderful, close the doors and windows." It's better to be on guard against this matter.

As the doors and windows were closed, the room suddenly became dark. With the help of the faint light, Si He lit candles one after another.

Just when the lamp oil had just dripped onto the ground, there was a loud rumbling noise mixed with the sound of iron chains sliding, the ground began to vibrate, and a square wooden board slowly moved away on the ground.

At first, the wooden board was against the bookshelf in the corner, but I couldn't find it for a while.

Si He hastily walked to the side of the wooden plank, poked his head out to look down the hole, a cork ladder was slanted against the side of the secret room.

"Wanghuai, I'll go down and have a look, you are up there and help me guard." Si He knew what Ji Wanghuai was going to say, and immediately interrupted him, "If you're worried, just stay up there and listen to my call , you come down immediately."

Maybe it was because the noise inside the house was too loud, so the soldiers guarding the door shouted loudly: "King Yu—is there anything unusual in the house?"

"It's okay, Si He accidentally bumped into the cabinet just now, just watch over it!"

While talking, Ji Wanghuai gave Si He a hard look, and the latter made a grimace at him with a smile, and slid down the ladder nimbly.

This small secret room in the basement is not very spacious, and there are night pearls the size of a baby's fist inlaid on the wall. Si He rubbed his eyes and finally got used to the light below.

He walked cautiously with his body bowed. There were many grids on the wall of this secret room, each of which contained sealed scrolls, and the time was marked on the wooden grids.

Si He randomly pulled out a volume, flipped through it randomly, it turned out that it was an event recorded by his grandfather as a destiny.Only then did he know that Linyuan's sorcerer at that time was not Jiang Yunxiu, but an attendant of the monarch at that time, who was good at illusion.

That's why Mu Yungui was the only magician in the Three Kingdoms who could watch the stars.

No wonder he has so many volumes.

Si He wandered around again, and suddenly his gaze was attracted by the bottom row in Mugeli.

There was a handwritten book neatly placed under it, Si He squatted down and turned it over, and from the chic handwriting, it could be seen that it might be a note written by his grandfather.

A little bit of time has passed, and the ink on the scroll has begun to turn gray, but the contents of this memorandum can be traced back to the birth of Si He's father.

His heart moved slightly, and the speed of flipping through the books began to gradually increase.

If it's what he thinks...then his grandfather should have recorded about their Mu family's fleeing from home.

So... is it true that King Wen forced their family to death...
