Chapter 1587 Extremely Weird
Wan Shufang was shocked and surprised: "The enemy is attacking? Did the Ninth Prince send people to attack? But why didn't we receive any news before?"
Jiang Xuan was also surprised: "The Eighth Prince just took us to see Old Lady Shang, and he didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, so this enemy attack might be a problem."
"We don't know what's going on, but that's what the person outside said." Several guards were also confused.
At this time, the sounds of fighting and killing were extremely loud. The guards were frightened and no longer cared about anything else. They took Wan Shufang and Jiang Xuan and walked directly to the left front.
When they reached the remote left courtyard, they quickly turned on the switch of the secret passage and walked down.
Seeing this particularly narrow secret passage, Jiang Xuan's eyes flashed with surprise.
There is actually a secret passage in this yard, and the guards know about it. Could it be that the Eighth Prince had anticipated what would happen today and arranged everything on purpose?
Such a thought flashed through Jiang Xuan's mind, but his face remained expressionless as he followed the guards.
Soon, everyone entered the secret passage and heard a rumbling sound, which was the sound of the secret passage door being closed.
Wan Shufang couldn't help but look behind her, but it was pitch black.
Her heart skipped a beat, and at that moment the candle in front of her suddenly lit up.
They lit up one by one, and a walkway that was only wide enough for one person to pass through appeared in front of people.
Several guards led the way in front. Wan Shufang and Jiang Xuan stared at their figures for a while, then suppressed their uneasiness and quickly followed them.
"Where does this corridor lead to?" Jiang Xuan's voice was a little hurried, as if several guards were only concerned with walking, which made him feel very uneasy.
"We don't know either." A guard noticed the urgency in Jiang Xuan's words. He seemed extremely uneasy and wanted to get accurate information from them to calm his mind.
"Why do you lead us here when you don't know anything? If the enemies also know this place, won't we be trapped here?" Jiang Xuan felt extremely uneasy and his tone was a little awkward.
"With us here, you will be fine no matter what happens." Hearing the meaning of Jiang Xuan's words, the guard immediately spoke to comfort him.
Jiang Xuan didn't dare to believe what they said at all. His lips moved slightly, and he wanted to say something.
Wan Shufang tugged at his sleeve at this time, and then lowered her voice and said to him: "At this point, we can only trust them."
Jiang Xuan pursed his lips after hearing this, then nodded and said, "You are absolutely right."
Wan Shufang was silent for a moment and then said, "Now that we are here, let's make the best of it."
Hearing this, Jiang Xuan smiled and said, "I am too timid and made you worry."
"You did a good job." Upon hearing Jiang Xuan's words, a guard immediately turned around and looked at him. "If it were anyone else, they would have taken action long ago. Why would they ask us?"
When Wan Shufang heard this, her brows furrowed slightly. "What do you mean? Is there anyone else sent to the secret passage besides the two of us?"
"That's right, but I don't know who those people are, so when you run into them later, be quiet and don't make a fuss, so as not to offend them."
The guard didn't know much, but he had been guarding the yard for a while and already knew the identities of Chen Changli and the others, as well as the Eighth Prince's attitude towards them.
Worried that Wan Shufang and Jiang Xuan might offend someone, he specifically gave them a reminder at this time so that they would be more vigilant.
Wan Shufang understood what he meant, and her heart sank, but she didn't show it on her face, so as not to show her cowardice in front of these people. "Thanks for the reminder, we know what to do now."
After she said this, she looked around and felt something indescribably strange.
This secret passage does not look like it was newly built. It seems that it was built many years ago and was only used by the Eighth Prince.
All kinds of thoughts were running through her mind, and she couldn't help but think of the Eighth Prince and the old emperor.
She suspected that these secret passages were built by the old emperor, but now they were benefiting the eighth prince.
"Are all the people here? If not, let them wait for the next transfer."
Just as Wan Shufang was lost in thought, a clear voice came from not far away.
Wan Shufang looked up and saw a secret room in front of her. Some people were looking out anxiously in the secret room.
"We still have two people here. Please wait a moment and don't leave now." The guard spoke quickly and urged Wan Shufang and Jiang Xuan to hurry over.
The two suppressed their anxiety and immediately ran into the secret room.
As soon as she came in, Wan Shufang smelled a familiar medicinal scent.
She followed the scent of the medicine and glanced at the people around her, discovering that these people might be the doctors and poison masters secretly employed by the Eighth Prince.
"Who are these two people? Why haven't we seen them before?" When Wan Shufang was observing them, they also turned their eyes over and looked at Wan Shufang and Jiang Xuan carefully. After a while, someone stood up and expressed doubts.
"They are the doctors that His Highness has valued the most in recent days. You must take good care of them and don't let anything happen to them. Otherwise, if His Highness gets angry, don't blame me for not warning you in advance."
The guards looked at each other, said these words to the doctors, and then said goodbye to Wan Shufang.
"You are safe here. We have to go back and check the situation."
Wan Shufang's eyes flashed with surprise when she heard this: "Aren't you planning to stay?"
"It is enough for us to escort you here. There is no need to stay by your side all the time." The guard said immediately, "Of course, if you feel uneasy, go find a woman named Xiong. She will make arrangements for you."
After hearing what he said, no matter how worried Wan Shufang was, she had no better way but to agree.
After watching them leave, Wan Shufang's emotions became extremely complicated, but she tried hard to calm herself down and not show them to outsiders.
Jiang Xuan deliberately looked around and confirmed that these people's attitude towards them was quite good and there was no jealousy on their faces, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
He then came to Wan Shufang and said in a low voice, "The Eighth Prince is not thinking the same thing as the old emperor, is he?"
Wan Shufang also responded in a low voice: "Not necessarily."
Jiang Xuan heard this and continued to lower his voice: "Old Lady Shang said that she would take the Phoenix Gu in a few days, but this happened as soon as we returned to the courtyard. It's really weird."
"You suspect Old Lady Shang." Wan Shufang said in a firm tone.
Jiang Xuan nodded: "Her attitude is a bit erratic, and this happened too coincidentally. I suspect she did it on purpose, just to scare us."
Wan Shufang hesitated for a moment after hearing this, and then said, "Old Lady Shang is indeed a mystery, but after she gave me a semi-finished Phoenix Gu, I felt that she had no reason to lie about this matter."
"So the enemy's attack had nothing to do with her. Maybe she was also frightened at this moment, and then fell into the same situation as us."
