Yuan Cixian's lips opened slightly, and she lay on the ground and poked her head for a moment. She originally thought that this mechanism might have connected to a secret room that hides important things, but she didn't expect that there was such a deep secret passage below.

The emperor made a hole under his feet, and she was afraid she would marry a vicious mouse.

She hung half of her body and looked in, and saw nothing in the narrow and simple secret passage, only a pull ring was placed next to the door, and a few wall lamps were hung on one side of the mud and stone wall. The candles in the wall lamp were wrapped in the cover, and a dim halo was revealed, which looked a bit gloomy and terrifying from a distance.

Yuan Cixian shivered and got up and brushed her clothes. Although she was curious about where the secret passage led, she silently endured it and didn't walk in. She thought that she would not run around in the middle of the night. It would be better to test Lu Shiqing in a while and see if he was honest with her.

She made up her mind and prepared to take off the jade pendant pillow, asking everything to return to its original state. She stretched out her hand but suddenly stopped and stopped a little inch away from the wall.

Wait. Why are the wall lights in the secret passages on?

The wall lamp is made of short candles, which will burn out within an hour. Lu Shiqing had already set out to greet him two hours ago. It is impossible for him to forget to turn off the candle before walking down the secret passage. So, who lit the wall lamp? Such a private bedroom and such a hidden secret passage, who would enter on this wedding night?

Yuan Cixian hesitated for a moment, turned around again, stepped down step by step, and reached the nearest wall lamp, took off the lampshade, looked at the length of the short candle, and felt even more strange.

The short candle was not lit much, it seemed that it was just lit two incense sticks. Before the two incense sticks, she sat alone in this bedroom. It was certain that no one had opened the door. In this way, someone came here through the other end of the secret passage.

She trembled, and she had goose bumps all over her body. She subconsciously felt dangerous and wanted to turn around and exit. However, when she stared straight at the end of the secret passage, she changed her mind.

No. Lu Shiqing is a cautious person and will never let such a hidden danger beside him. This secret passage must be harmless. After all, he refused to even show her face to the guests, so how could anyone allow him to enter this bedroom from outside?

She stood there and rethinked the whole thing and found a few doubts.

First, fighting authenticity in the yard is a violation of the law. How could Lu Shiqing treat it so negligently, and let the mechanism on the wall be exposed so easily? Even if it is not for her, it should be for others to be on guard against.

Second, he had been greeting guests for a long time. Even though he couldn't get rid of his body because of the entanglement of the guests, how could he not think of her at all and even withdrew the servants in the new house, leaving her alone. He shouldn't be able to scream as if he wasn't good enough? He wasn't afraid that she would be hungry.

Third, since there was no servant in the room, it means that Lu Shiqing did not mean to restrain her. So why did he specifically emphasize "Sit and don't move" before leaving? He clearly knew that she liked to sing opposite him.

Yuan Cixian blinked blankly and looked at the depths of the dim secret passage again.

These questions can be explained with slightest use of "coincidence", but Xu Shan once said: If there are too many coincidences, it is no longer a coincidence.

Apart from coincidence, the only answer that is suitable for answering all doubts is: this secret passage was discovered by Lu Shiqing intentionally.

Yuan Cixian's heart was like a drum for a moment, and somehow, she was so nervous that her palms were sweating.

She was silent for a while, and finally took off the candle and held it in her hand, slowly walking towards the depths step by step.

The damp secret passage was not particularly long, and only turned once. Yuan Cixian walked carefully at first, but later she was guided by a strong and inexplicable intuition and walked faster and faster until she came to the end and saw a pull ring that was exactly the same as the one from, connected to a thin thread.

Her eyes were fixed on the secret door diagonally above her head, and after reaching out to touch the pull ring, she hesitated to pull it down.

There was another "creaking" sound, and the secret door opened from behind. She held the candle in one hand and stepped onto the third-level stone steps with the stone wall in the other. After standing still, she slowly raised her head.

The eyes were a charming new house similar to that of Lu's Mansion. It was bright on all sides, a man with a black robe with big sleeves, a wooden hairpin tied with hair and a silver mask was standing opposite her head to look at her. On the wooden tutu at his hand, he hung a long round-necked robe, which was exactly what Lu Shiqing had just changed his clothes and wore it to greet the guests.

She looked stiff and looked at him motionlessly until she saw him slowly raise his hand, pinched a corner of the mask, and moved it gently away.

The moment she saw the face behind his mask, Yuan Cixian trembled all over, and a drop of candle oil was sprinkled in her short candlestick. The hot candle oil dripped on her tiger's mouth, causing her to subconsciously throw away the candle, frowned and said "hissed".

Lu Shiqing was shocked and rushed forward to seize her hand, as if he wanted to observe her injuries. Yuan Cixian had already come back to her senses, pulled her hand out of his palm with force, took a step back, and stared at him slightly.

Lu Shiqing did not move anymore, frowned, and swallowed with difficulty.

Yuan Cixian slowly moved her eyes from his face, turned to the lapel of his clothes, then reached out to pull off his collar, and pushed his outer robe and inner robe to both sides. Because her hands were trembling, she tried several times but couldn't push it away. Finally she lost her patience, so she simply gritted her teeth and pulled it hard.

With a "sting" sound, his jade-colored chest was completely exposed in front of her. Near the heart, there was a hideous scar. The new flesh had not yet grown completely, with concave and convex, and a bright light red.

Lu Shiqing didn't stop him from beginning to end, but just stood up straight and let her move. Until her fingertips touched his scar, she couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Yuan Cixian rubbed his fingertips back and forth around his scars, and suddenly smiled bitterly.

Although his wide robe and big sleeves covered his figure, his mask hid his appearance and even the most easily recognizable contours of the corners of his eyes, his voice was so fake, and his identity was impeccable, she was actually very close to the truth several times.

She remembered that in the desert of Chang'an, Lu Shiqing was whipped by his brother and left a hideous scar on the back of his hand. Later, she went to Lu's mansion to wrap his wounds and found that his injuries were not treated properly, but instead showed signs of deterioration. She just thought he was careless, but she did not expect that he had come to Yuan Mansion as "Xu Shan" the day before, and covered up the traces with powder in order not to be exposed, which caused the wound to ulcerate and pus.

She remembered that when he came to Yuan Mansion to attend a banquet, she successfully lifted his mask, but only asked him to reveal the corner of his jaw. She just thought that she was drowsy and weak after drinking, and accidentally hit her tilt, but she didn't expect that it was Lu Shiqing's plan from beginning to end. He had known that she was going to take action, so he turned his head in time; he had long expected that she was doubting the face behind his mask, so she tried to use this method to win her sympathy, so she could do it once and for all.

She remembered that when she went south, she received news from Xu Sanniang at the residence of Zhu County Magistrate and was about to return to Chang'an, but Lu Shiqing stayed for strange reasons. She just thought he was in love with her, but she didn't expect that his obstruction had another meaning, which was to prevent her from finding "Xu Shan" who was not in the capital at all.

In addition to all this, it is even more ironic that some day ago, she suspected that "Xu Shan" had a dual identity and was probably an official in the court. Therefore, she looked for opportunities to verify it and even asked Lu Shiqing for information, but forgot the so-called "darkness under the light" in this world, and gave up the close-knit suspect and spontaneously excluded him.

She had so many opportunities to get close to the truth, but she missed it again and again.

Until today, on her wedding night with him, he saw him reveal everything in such an almost tragic way.

She pressed her hand on his heart, raised her head and looked at the candle in the room, and said the first sentence after coming here: "Why, Lu Shiqing?"

Since she has deceived her for so long, why did she choose this moment to cruelly tell her the truth?

Didn’t he continue to hide it from her? He couldn’t turn off the candle at night in the bridal chamber, wouldn’t he blindfold her eyes and wouldn’t he show her his scars?

She didn't want to know at this time. Even if Lu Shiqing was Xu Shan, she would rather never know.

Her lips were trembling, her voice was hoarse, and her eyes were red. Lu Shiqing looked at her with a drowsy look, then hugged her in her arms.

Because he can no longer hide it from her.

Since he beat Wang Lijing, he has planned to find an opportunity to say this, but he stopped talking again and again. Sometimes he saw that she had excellent acting skills and never revealed the relationship between the Yuan family and Zheng Zhuo, so he felt a little awkward. Sometimes he saw that she had nothing to worry about and teased him happily, so he was a little scared.

He was afraid that after he said that, he would never see her like that again.

How could she be bound by a marriage contract like this? As long as she wants to leave him, she can't keep ten pieces.

So he dragged it on until five days ago, when he knew it was time.

He must marry her and keep her firmly by his side. This is his selfishness. But he cannot completely ask her without hiding or retaining anything. This is his bottom line.

His request should be honest and honest, and so should her delivery.

As for setting up a new house in Xu's house, it was because he hoped that she could truly combine Lu Shiqing and Xu Shan in her heart tonight.

He hugged Yuan Cixian, held her tightly in his arms, and then said, "I'm sorry." After saying that, he repeated it quietly, "I'm sorry..."

Yuan Cixian was almost suffocated by him, and her bones seemed to be about to break. She frowned and couldn't escape. She said unhappily: "Lu Shiqing, I feel pain."

Lu Shiqing let go of her hand, and she took a step back, looked at him with red eyes for a while. Seeing that he seemed to want to ask something, she interrupted first and said, "Don't ask if I can forgive you, I don't know now, I will answer you when I figure it out." After that, he turned around and was about to step down the stone steps.

Lu Shiqing thought to herself that when she figured it out, he might have died in her heart. In a hurry, he reached out and grabbed her wrist: "Cixian..."

He never called her this surname, but the first time he said it was a pleading smell.

Yuan Cixian was slightly shocked. After a pause, she wanted to pull her hands, but she couldn't compare with his strength. Instead, she asked him to drag it back and was wrapped in his arms.

She was upset and stabbed him with her elbow. After slamming, she heard him groaning and hurried down the stone steps when he let go. Just as she was about to leave quickly, she heard him coughing behind her.

Yuan Cixian stopped and looked back at him, and saw him holding the edge of the wall with one hand and covering his heart with the other, as if she had been stabbed to relapse of her old injury, which was very painful.

She subconsciously took a step forward and recalled the angle of the force she had just exerted, but she felt something was wrong.

She just tried to force her downwards, how could she poke his heart?

He is lying to her again!

She gritted her teeth and turned around and walked forward quickly.

Seeing that the trick was useless, Lu Shiqing hurriedly chased after him and said, "Yuan Cixian, wait for me."

Yuan Cixian didn't look back and said viciously while walking: "What are you waiting for you to do? Wait for your bridal chamber? You are so powerful, go with yourself!"
