The atmosphere in the Ruan family hall was a bit too quiet. Although Xue Ya and Ruan Yuelou could not speak, Ruan Ting also did not speak for a long time.

Although Xie Yan's words were spoken in an understatement, the three people present could hear a hint of blood in his words.

Shouldn't it exist? There will never be a shortage of places like this from ancient times to the present, just like light and shadow, they always depend on each other. If the Yongming side is prosperous and peaceful, there must be a place to digest the dark side of this majestic imperial city. Xie Yan

Of course, he didn't mean to wipe out all the people in the west of the city. What he said shouldn't exist. I'm afraid he was referring to those people who had been entrenched in it for so long that they had forgotten their identities.

After a long time, Ruan Ting coughed slightly and said: "Since the prince has such a plan, of course you have your reasons. Those people in the west of the city have indeed caused some trouble in the past two years, but..."

Ruan Ting looked at Xie Yan, sighed and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to provide any useful advice to the prince."

Mingyin Pavilion has just formed a feud with the Ruan family. If the Ruan family intervenes at this time, it will look like a self-serving revenge in the eyes of outsiders. Of course, some people will think that the eldest son of the Ruan family is from Mingyin Pavilion, and the Ruan family is

It's not that he is colluding with Mingyin Pavilion. No matter what kind of rumors they are, Ruan Ting doesn't want to get involved.

Xie Yan didn't care, "I just want to say hello to Mr. Ruan. After all, Mr. Ruan is the head of the civil service. As for the matter in the west of the city, it's not a big deal at all. It's just a training exercise for the Wu Wei Army and Xiao Yuanhou."

Xie Yan understood Ruan Ting's words. He didn't want to intervene but was not opposed to taking action against Mingyin Pavilion.

It seems...at least Ruan Ting himself has nothing to do with Mingyin Pavilion.

Ruan Ting also knew that Xie Yan understood what he meant, and the smile on his face was a little more sincere, and he said with a smile: "Then there is Marquis Lao Xiaoyuan. The prince in the court can rest assured that everyone is working for Da Sheng and His Majesty.

, they all understand the truth." There are many people in Shangyong's dignitaries who are related to Mingyin Pavilion, but there may not be a few who really dare to stand up and fight the regent for Mingyin Pavilion. After all, Mingyin Pavilion also

It's not a serious place, and it won't have a good reputation if it really gets into trouble.

Xie Yan glanced at Xue Ya and Ruan Yuelou, who were sitting on the side. Mr. Xueya lowered his eyes slightly and looked calm. He seemed to be uninterested in the content of their conversation and was wandering in his mind. Ruan Yuelou seemed to have some emotions.

He was thinking deeply. After all, he had been raised as the eldest son of the Ruan family for the past twenty years, so he naturally had an extraordinary intuition about things in the court. He was thinking about what the regent said to his father in front of them.

The intention, and the future direction of the court.

Xie Yan quickly stood up and said goodbye. After seeing Xie Yan out, Ruan Ting turned around and the smile on his face gradually faded. After glancing at his two sons, Ruan Ting's eyes fell on Xue Ya and he frowned slightly.

Xue Ya noticed his scrutiny, raised her head and said calmly: "Father."

Ruan Ting said: "Don't go out these days."

With a gentle smile on Xue Ya's face, he nodded as if he were a docile son, "Yes, father, I understand."

But Ruan Ting would not be fooled by his meekness. Just from the moment of confrontation that day, he knew how sharp the seemingly harmless young man in front of him was.

Ruan Ting walked up to him, looked at him for a moment and then said slowly: "The regent is right, a place like Mingyin Pavilion really shouldn't exist." After saying that, Ruan ignored Xue Ya's reaction.

Ting turned around and walked towards the inner courtyard.

Xue Ya turned her head and looked at his back, with a cold smile on her lips.

Shouldn’t it exist? Who shouldn’t exist?

Xie Yan said he was looking for Bai Jingrong, and Luo Junyao was not idle either.

She is not a very motivated person, so if nothing big happens, she will just muddle along. Who says that there must be any lofty ambitions in life? But her past career has also destined that once she has a goal, she can

Get into the zone quickly and find your goals.

"Brother, please help me." From the Luo family, Luo Junyao grabbed Luo Jinyan's arm and shook it, begging pitifully.

Luo Jinyan looked at his sister with some helplessness, "There are so many people in the Regent's Palace and there are not enough people for you? Do you want you to come to me for help?"

Luo Junyao said: "It's different. Ayan has been very busy recently. Diying Lengshuang has been sent out. Where can I find him?"

Luo Jinyan said angrily: "The water thrown out by the married daughter."

Luo Junyao said: "What? I'm not someone who needs to run errands. I heard from Ling Lan that you have a very powerful talent who is proficient in the art of construction. This kind of talent is not easy to find."

Luo Jinyan said: "You are the regent princess. Is there anyone you can't find? Unless you tell me, what do you want to do?"

Luo Junyao sighed, helplessly took out a map and spread it out in front of Luo Jinyan.

Luo Jinyan raised his eyebrows and said, "What is this?"

Luo Jun said: "Didn't you feel strange about the underground palace in Mingyin Pavilion last night?"

"What's weird?"

Luo Junyao said: "This is Shangyong, the imperial capital for thousands of years. There is such a large underground palace underground but it has never been discovered. How much manpower and financial resources does Mingyin Pavilion need to quietly dig such a large underground palace there?

I paid attention last night and the most we saw was one-third of the underground palace. The real area of ​​the underground palace is at least no smaller than the area in the west of the city. Brother, do you know what this means?"

Luo Jinyan said: "What does it mean?"

"This means that Mingyin Pavilion has built a world underground in the west of the city that is as big as the ground or even larger, but is completely unique to Mingyin Pavilion. By the way, this one-third is my estimate, and it may actually be larger.

.”

Luo Jinyan narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Luo Junyao and said: "Shaoyao, brother, don't you know that you actually know the art of Kanyu and construction?"

Luo Junyao blinked his eyes, "How do I know the art of Kan Yu? The underground palace is not as big as what we saw, it is easy to see. Oh... If you want to talk about Kan Yu, I asked Qin Tianjian

The boss asked about it, and he said...that area in the west of the city was indeed a geomantic treasure."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Luo Jinyan raised his hand to rub her little head and said with a smile: "You are quite busy. You just came back from Mingyin Pavilion yesterday. Are you going to Qintian Prison today?" He

Thinking back to it, in the underground palace of Mingyin Pavilion last night, before leaving, Yao Yao did drag Wei Changting against the wall and didn't know what he did.

Luo Junyao said: "Brother, such a big underground palace may be much bigger than what we see. Do you think Mingyin Pavilion spent huge sums of money to build it just to hold an auction to make money? Moreover, we only saw the entrance to the palace in total.

With two exit doors, the underground palace has descended to 20 feet below the ground, but we can hardly feel the stuffiness inside. It can be seen that the ventilation of the underground palace must have a quite unique design, and it is definitely not just established thirty years ago.

Years of organization can accomplish it.”

In ancient times, it took more than ten or twenty years for emperors to build an imperial mausoleum. Why did some emperors not finish the construction from the time they succeeded to the throne until their death? Because the difficulty of underground work in ancient times was very high, and the royal family was still like this, Mingyin

How could Ge build this underground palace quietly?

The most basic thing is, after digging out so much earth and stone, where will the people from Mingyin Pavilion put it?

Luo Jinyan was thoughtful, "So, do you think it was originally an underground tomb? It was discovered by Mingyin Pavilion and then transformed?"

Luo Junyao nodded and said, "Besides, it should be an imperial mausoleum."

Luo Jinyan said: "Who would choose the imperial mausoleum in..."

Luo Junyao looked at Luo Jinyan with a smile and said, "Brother, have you thought of it too? Although the area to the west of the city is now within the scope of the imperial city, the Yong Imperial City was not always this big. Thousands of years ago... that area was also a suburb."

"The imperial mausoleum from a thousand years ago?" Luo Jinyan raised his eyebrows, obviously interested. Luo Junyao immediately struck while the iron was hot: "Brother, lend me your people. The imperial mausoleum must be very big. As long as we determine the scope and contents inside,

After deconstructing it, we can go in quietly without worrying about alerting the people in Mingyin Pavilion."

The two entrances to the underground palace are inside the Mingyin Pavilion. Not only are they heavily guarded, but they are also made of marble. You can't even think about sneaking in.

Luo Jinyan stared at her and said, "Want to go in?"

Luo Jun shook his eyes and said, "Brother, don't you want to?"

"Do you think an ancient tomb controlled by someone is so easy to enter? Is there no mechanism?"

Luo Junyao said: "Yes, the top of the white jade underground palace is full of kerosene. If there is an accident, as long as the mechanism is turned on, the entire auction last night will be burned into barbecue."

"..."

Luo Jun shook his nose and said softly: "Brother, I was wrong. I should have told you earlier. I will not act impulsively. After all, I still cherish my life."

Luo Jinyan snorted lightly and said, "I can lend it to you, but I've been very busy recently and don't have time to keep an eye on you. I have to go with your second brother."

Luo Junyao was a little confused, "Second brother seems to be busier, right?" The eldest brother still stays in the city every day, and the second brother almost lives in the army.

Luo Jinyan glanced sideways at her, "Do you want it?"

"I want it, I want it!" Luo Junyao said quickly.

Luo Jinyan's expression softened a bit and he said, "I'll ask Jinxing to take someone to find you later."

"Then you can't tell Ayan." Luo Junyao said.

Luo Jinyan looked at her with a half-smile but not a smile. Under his oppressive eyes, Luo Jun shook his head and said, "I was wrong."

"I don't care if you hide it from Xie Yan, but if you dare to do anything dangerous without telling the family, just be careful." Luo Jinyan said.

Luo Junyao sighed and said: "I don't want to hide it, but Ayan has a lot of things on his own. If he knows about it, he will definitely send people to protect me, and he will worry about me when he is busy. This will not cause trouble for nothing.

Huh? It would be a waste of talent to let Dieying and Sister Lengshuang follow me."

Luo Jinyan felt a little sad that her naughty and mischievous little sister could be so considerate of others.

"Okay, let's go." Mr. Luo, who was in a bad mood, drove them away immediately. Luo Junyao didn't want to stay and upset his eldest brother. He shot out his slender figure like an arrow, "I'll go find my mother first and tell her about the marriage.

It’s better to stick with the second brother first. But brother, you have to work hard. If the second brother has a suitable candidate but you haven’t settled it yet, won’t it delay the second brother’s marriage?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Junyao ran to nowhere.

Luo Jinyan looked at the empty door and was lost in thought for a moment. When he came back to his senses, he couldn't help but chuckle and shook his head.

"Luo Yi."

Luo Yi came in from the outside with a strange look on his face. He had obviously heard what Luo Junyao said just now.

"Son."

Luo Jinyan asked: "The Xiao family..."

Luo Yidao said: "The head of the Xiao family has asked Young Master Xiao to go to Yonglai in person to handle the matter. According to the schedule, he will reach the capital in a few days."
