Xia Houjing glanced over the two books, and there was no disturbance on his face: "The empress has a wide range of hobbies, can she even understand such books? It's a pity that I am not as powerful as the empress. Books, I probably don’t quite understand them, if the Empress wants to send me books to pass the time next time, she might as well choose some military books, or anecdotes and stories.”
"Really?" Yun Shang raised her eyebrows: "I went out of the palace a few days ago and saw the former Taifu Master Ling Hailing bought these two books. There are many compliments, thinking that since this is the case, the prince should also like the books that Lord Ling likes to read. But I was wrong... "
Even though Yunshang mentioned Ling Hai, Xia Houjing's expression remained the same: "Oh? After Master Ling resigned, I occasionally went back to visit, but there were too many things in the past year, and I haven't seen Master Ling for a long time. Yes. The empress saw Lord Ling some time ago? Is he still okay now? Is he still in good health?"
After that, his eyes fell on the two books in Yunshang's hands again, and then he smiled: "But the empress can still see him buying books, so I think he should be in excellent health. His old man is still the same as before. Similarly, I am willing to dabble in any type of book, and I like to read everything.”
Yun Shang only glanced at Xia Houjing indifferently, and then put away the two books: "Master Ling is fine, don't worry, my lord."
"That's good."
After Xia Houjing finished speaking, he looked at Luo again and said lightly: "Your Majesty came here late at night, you shouldn't just come to chat with me, right?"
Luo Yan smiled lightly: "Well, it's true that I'm not just here to chat with you."
As Luo spoke lightly, he began to circle around in the cell, his gaze fell on the stone wall, with a somewhat casual expression: "I still underestimated you a little bit, originally thought that the Princess Tai'an Mansion was already very secretive. Even I didn't expect that the Supreme Emperor would imprison you here. It's just that I didn't expect that your people could still know where you are, and even keep in touch with you to exchange information."
Xia Houjing blinked, with a blank expression on his face: "What is your majesty talking about? Why can my people keep in touch with me, and even exchange information? Does your majesty have any misunderstandings about me?"
"The Seventh Prince naturally knows what I'm talking about." Luo Qingyan smiled, with a hint of confidence in his smile: "However, since I have already found out, after the Seventh Prince, there will be no such opportunity again. …”
As soon as Luo Qingyan's voice fell, he pressed the three stones on the wall at the same time.
Suddenly, the place where Xia Houjing was lying sank suddenly, and Xia Houjing also fell down.
Yun Shang was not at all prepared, and was startled by the sudden appearance, and took two steps back.
But that place has been closed quickly, only Xia Houjing is nowhere to be seen in this private prison.
Yun Shang turned her head to look at Luo Qingyan with a dazed expression.
Luo smiled softly, and then explained to Yunshang: "Didn't I just tell you about it before? I suspect that Xia Houjing's people already know where he is being held, and have a way to pass information to him. So do you want to transfer Xia Houjing to another place of detention silently?"
Yun Shang nodded: "But didn't you still say yesterday that you didn't think of a way? Why..."
"Well, it was only later that I suddenly came up with this method and asked someone to set up such a secret passage and mechanism overnight."
Yun Chang blinked, still a little surprised: "It's amazing."
Luo Qingyan said that it was rare to see Yunshang's surprised appearance, so he laughed again: "It's not very difficult to dig secret tunnels and design mechanisms, one night is enough."
"It's not difficult." Yun Shang nodded: "But Xia Houjing is being imprisoned here. It is not easy to dig a secret passage and design a good mechanism without him noticing."
It's just that now is not the time to talk about this. Yun Chang glanced at the empty private prison and frowned: "But, just transfer people away like this? And then do nothing?"
Luo Qingyan looked at Yunshang softly, and laughed: "Then what do you think should be?"
"Li Daitao is stiff."
Yun Shang raised her head: "Since Xia Houjing can send the letter to his people, let's pretend that we don't know anything, transfer Xia Houjing away, and then change someone else to come in, pretending to be Xia Houjing, and get some information. And spread some fake news out…”
Luo Qingyan nodded, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became more gentle.
Then, some switch was pressed on the wall, and immediately, the place where Xia Houjing fell was opened again.
Yun Chang was stunned for a moment, walked to that place cautiously, looked down, but only saw a pitch-black piece, and couldn't see anything clearly.
Yun Chang frowned, took an oil lamp from the wall, held it in his hand, and shook it downwards. He was watching intently, but saw a face suddenly appearing in front of him.
Yun Shang was taken aback, took two steps back, and then stabilized her mind, staring at the person who suddenly appeared with wide eyes: "Xia... Xia Houjing?"
The man glanced at Yun Chang silently, climbed up from below, and then the mechanism on the ground closed again.
Yunshang pointed at "Xia Houjing", turned her head to look at Luo and said lightly: "This is..."
The smile on Luo Qingyan's face became stronger: "Li Daitao is stiff, isn't this your idea, my lady?"
Yun Chang was stunned for a moment, then came back to her senses immediately, and only stared at Luo Qingyan: "You clearly planned to do this early in the morning, but you still deliberately asked me about my plan."
Luo Qingyan held Yun Shang's hand: "This shows that we have a good understanding."
Out of the corner of Yunshang's eyes, she saw "Xia Houjing" who was nesting in the corner without saying a word, she shook off Luo Qingyan's hand, glared at him by the way, and then said, "He..."
The corners of Luo Qingyan's mouth curled up: "He was the secret agent I placed next to Xia Houjing before, but Xia Houjing is cautious and doesn't trust people easily, so I didn't find out much about some important news. He was just by Xia Houjing's side. After staying for a long time, I have a very good understanding of his every word and action, and it is very easy to imitate. I put him here, just as you said, I want to try to figure it out, Xia Houjing What are you planning on doing?"
Yun Chang nodded, and looked the fake Xia Houjing up and down: "It's really no different from the real Xia Houjing, and I was shocked just now, thinking that the people below couldn't respond in time , Xia Houjing is back again..."
Luo Yan smiled lightly, but didn't make a sound.
Only then did Yun Chang look back: "Everything has been arranged properly, just waiting for the enemy to fall into the trap."
