Chapter 205: Prisoned Old Tree

Yun Xiao took Wei Gonggong all the way to the imperial garden. Even in the twelfth lunar month of winter, the flowers in the imperial garden were still bright and moving, and the branches were vying to bloom. Each precious flower tree was wrapped with a thick colorful ribbon.
The wind blows, the flower branches sway, I don't know if the flowers are more beautiful or the ribbons are more beautiful.
Grandpa Wei didn't expect Yun Xiao to take him to the Yuhuayuan. The Yuhuan has already been searched by the Yulin Army. I don't know how many times, but I haven't found the Nine Highness. How could Yun Xiao bring him here?
However, before he had time to think about it, he saw that Yun Xiao had already walked forward quickly, hurriedly followed, and said anxiously, "Four girls, there are no Nine Highnesses in this imperial garden. The minions have already searched for it."
Yun Xiao just nodded calmly, and then said, "I know, but he is here." It's just that the place is very secret. If you don't know the location, I'm afraid Yun Xiao can't find it here.
She remembered her last life, His Royal Highness Nine brought her into the palace to see the Queen Mother, who knows that when she walks to the Imperial Garden, let her wait first, and he will come when he goes, but this time is only half an hour, Yun Xiao is really I was in a hurry, looking for someone back and forth, and almost turned the Yu Huayuan upside down, without seeing Zhou Jingxu.
In the end, Zhou Jingxu got out of a bush of flowers and told her with a smile, "Every time I hide here, no one can find me. Every time my mother scolds me, I hide here to make her anxious. This is the most secretive place, and my favorite place for whispering. If you are unhappy in the palace in the future, you might as well try it. There is nothing in it."
Yun Xiao didn't know what's so special in these numbers, she had never entered.
However, she remembered that Zhou Jingxu had to run away from her yard. He must have been in a bad mood at that time, and she was afraid that he would come here to talk to Shudong.
However, it has been a long time since Zhou Jingxu disappeared to the present, and no matter what, he should come out, plus no one can find him, Yun Xiao has to suspect that Zhou Jingxu has something wrong.
That's why I thought of a way and brought Grandpa Wei to find Zhou Jingxu.
Standing under a thousand-year-old tree with lush foliage, Yun Xiao felt a little nervous, a little nervous, and some unspeakable expectations...
But Father Wei looked at such a thousand-year-old tree, his mouth twitched, and now he felt that the four girls of the Yun family were dragging him around, how could people hide in the tree?
But the cautiousness on Yun Xiao's face always tells Grandpa Wei that she is not joking.
Wei Gonggong had a fight between heaven and man in his heart for a while, and he asked, "Four girls, are you saying that His Royal Highness Nine is on this tree?" This tree has luxuriant branches and leaves, and it is extremely precious. It has survived for thousands of years and symbolizes the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The symbol of the dynasty, so the Emperor Jin never thought about cutting down this tree.
Maybe the Nine His Royal Highness is really hiding among the leaves.
However, Yun Xiao's words broke Wei Gonggong's insistence, "Wei Gonggong made a mistake. His Royal Highness is hiding in this tree."
"How is it possible?" If it is hidden in the body of the tree, then a big hole must be dug out of the tree. He has been in the palace for many years, but he has never heard of any sawdust flowing out of the imperial garden, let alone a tree. How can it survive for a thousand years without the tree body and only rely on the outer shell to support it?
He now felt that Yun Xiao was playing with him again.
The corner of Yun Xiao's mouth brought a faint smile again, but her eyes were unspeakably firm, "Are I lying? Grandpa Wei just needs to test it out."
Grandpa Wei was surprised. Just about to ask a question, he saw Yun Xiao already walking forward and hurriedly following. After turning around the old tree for a half circle, he saw Yun Xiao step forward and reach out before a tree trunk. He tapped it lightly, and there was a clear sound inside.
Father Wei was surprised. The sound was indeed a little different from that of solid wood. Seeing Yun Xiao stepped aside, he hurriedly walked over, reached out and knocked twice at the place where Yun Xiao knocked. The crisp sound inside became louder and louder, like a jade stone. general.
Grandpa Wei's expression changed drastically. Now he began to believe that Yun Xiao was not talking big words. He said excitedly, "His Royal Highness Nine? Are you inside?"
He yelled several times, but there was no echo from inside, which made Grandpa Wei's expression a little uneasy.
Not only him, but Yun Xiao's expression also brought embarrassment. Could it be that Zhou Jingxu really had an accident?
No matter what else, Yun Xiao hurried forward, groping back and forth with his hand on the tree, trying to find the mechanism.
Seeing Yun Xiao doing this, Grandpa Wei squatted down and searched together, "Four girls, do you know how to open this ancient tree?" There must be a mechanism in it. If there is no mechanism, how could His Highness Nine enter?
In addition, since Yun Xiao can take him here, Wei Gonggong feels that Yun Xiao can be trusted. Such a place is too secret. If it hadn't been said by His Royal Highness himself, what about Yun Xiao, who had just entered the palace? Will know?
Yun Xiao nodded and shook her head again. She remembered Zhou Jingxu's words in her previous life, but he once said that for the safety of this tree hole, he would change the switch to enter the tree hole every once in a while.
It has been too long since she knew the tree hole in the previous life, and Yun Xiao didn't know if the mechanism could open the tree hole.
What's more, Zhou Jingxu once said that if you can't open the mechanism for the first time, don't even want to open it again. That is to say, there is only one way to open the tree hole.
But, how do you open the tree hole now? She really doesn't know!
Yun Xiao was a little confused at this time. Zhou Jingxu was obviously only eight years old. Even when he saw Zhou Jingxu in his previous life, he was not very old. How could he design such an ingenious mechanism? At a young age, with such a strong ability, how will it be so powerful when he grows up?
Is it because of this that Zhou Jingyan could not tolerate him?
Before he could think about it so much, Yun Xiao was only worried about what happened to Zhou Jingxu now.
She rummaged through the mechanism, and finally saw a drop of blood at the bottom of the tree, her eyes widened, and it seemed that Zhou Jingxu had really entered the tree hole.
When Grandpa Wei nodded and shook his head for a while when he saw Yun Xiao, he became anxious, "Four girls, do you know how to open this way? Or don't you know?"
Yun Xiao's hand holding the tree stiffened slightly, and her eyebrows were lowered. "His Royal Highness Nine once told me how to open the mechanism, but His Highness Nine is active. He said that this tree hole will reset the tree every once in a while. The mechanism of the cave, I am afraid that the method he told me will not be used at this time."
Grandpa Wei was dumbfounded, but from Yun Xiao's words also confirmed that this tree hole was really what the Ninth Highness told Yun Xiao.
What he was curious about was that Yun Xiao entered the palace for the second time, and it was the first time he entered the palace at the Imperial Dining Room. How could he be so familiar with His Royal Highness? Familiar to the Nine His Royal Highness is willing to tell her such a secret place?
He can be regarded as watching Zhou Jingxu grow up, and naturally what Qing Yunxiao said about opening the tree hole mechanism would really be Zhou Jingxu's, "Then what should I do now?"
Yun Xiao was also a little at a loss, and shook his head gently.
Grandpa Wei was even more anxious, and his weathered eyes suddenly lit up, "Or, the four girls first try the method the Nine Highness told you, maybe they will open it."
Yun Xiao's hand stroking the tree body suddenly stiffened, and his eyes were locked tightly together, with a nervous expression, "It won't work, that method can't be opened now."
"How did the four girls decide so?"
Yun Xiao pointed to the place where his finger had just brushed, "Look here, this is a trace of someone forcibly opening the tree hole. His Royal Highness once said that if someone wants to forcefully enter the tree hole, the first time you cannot open the mechanism. , The tree hole will naturally be in a state of alert and can no longer be opened."
Grandpa Wei looked hesitant. He didn't know if she heard Yun Xiao's words, she should be happy for the Nine Highness to make such a powerful mechanism, or be speechless, this mechanism actually trapped the Nine Highness himself in a tree hole, "You are Say someone is going to open the tree hole by force?"
Yun Xiao nodded. The mechanism designed by Zhou Jingxu himself, no matter what, he could not leave a trace on the tree body when entering the mechanism, but now there is a fresh mark under her fingers. The slight dampness leaked from the above, I am afraid that this trace happened not long ago.
Grandpa Wei's expression became even more embarrassed, "Now that the tree hole cannot be opened, is it possible that His Highness Nine will always be trapped in it?"
Yun Xiao was also very helpless. She didn't know how wonderful Zhou Jingxu's expression would be when her agency would harm her.
She had a headache secretly, "I think about how to open it," she remembered Zhou Jingxu in her last life saying that if the mechanism is forcibly closed, there is another way to open the tree hole, but she happened to see Zhou Jingyan at the time.
A heart flew to Zhou Jingyan long ago, and he didn't hear what Zhou Jingxu said.
Now that I think about it, I feel a little upset. If she had listened carefully, wouldn't such a thing happen?
Grandpa Wei now pinned all his hopes on Yun Xiao, and he hurriedly summoned his little father-in-law to report to the Emperor Jin.
This little father-in-law was brought up by him, his character is still reliable!
Yun Xiao looked at the tree hole, his eyes blank, a little stunned, "What the is it?"
As time passed by, Grandpa Wei became more and more anxious, and his face was covered with fine beads of sweat. However, Grandpa Wei's mind turned very fast and said hurriedly, "Four girls, or else, You go to see in the palace of His Royal Highness Nine? Maybe you can think of it when you see the things in His Royal Highness Nine's room?" Ask him to say that since it was the mechanism designed by Zhou Jingxu himself, the thing that opened the mechanism must be in Zhou Jingxu's bedroom. Inside.
However, Yun Xiao shook her head. She remembered clearly, because she was absent-minded, Zhou Jingxu was very angry, so she asked her, what did he just say to open the tree hole?
At that time, where did she remember that there was something that could open this tree hole, so she had to make a nonsense, "It must be in your palace."
Who knows, after she said this, Zhou Jingxu became even more annoyed, turned around and left. After walking a few steps, she turned around again, looking at her idiotic expression, "I said that the thing was not in my palace. , You have to remember it in my palace, it is really wood!"
Yun Xiao was also helpless when he was taught, and finally had to follow Zhou Jingxu's words and said, "Then who are you in the palace?"
"In the palace of Concubine Hua!"
She remembered that she was still surprised at that time, the mechanism she designed, what can open the mechanism, turned out to be in the palace of Concubine Hua?
You know, Concubine Hua and Empress Empress have never dealt with each other, and Zhou Jingxu is the Queen's biological heir.
However, after thinking about it now, Yun Xiao had to compliment him. Everyone knew that Zhou Jingxu was not happy with Concubine Hua and placed the things that opened the mechanism in Concubine Hua's palace. No one could have thought of it, right?
Yes, Concubine Hua! Yun Xiao narrowed her eyes slightly, "Go, let's go to Hua Fei's Yilan Hall."
