The searchers searched for a long time but could not find it.
Yun Chu's face became darker and darker, and the eyes he looked at Chu Rui became more and more sharp. The moon reflected in her eyes, like two sharp knives.
"Queen Mother, we don't actually have to be on opposite sides." Chu Rui said slowly, "As the old saying goes, we can cooperate and let King Yan ascend the throne as emperor."
Yun Chu said coldly: "No matter what we talk about, we must first hand over King Yan."
"If I hand over King Yan, wouldn't I lose my biggest bargaining chip?" Chu Rui's smile suddenly disappeared, "As long as the Queen Mother cooperates with me, I promise not to touch a hair of King Yan."
Yun Chu's eyes darkened.
She suddenly pulled out a dagger from her sleeve and put it against Chu Rui's neck: "Don't even think about threatening me, you don't deserve it."
She raised her dagger and stabbed it in from under Chu Rui's collarbone.
Chu Rui's pupils suddenly widened: "You, don't you care about Chu Hongjue's life or death? You are such a cruel woman!"
Yun Chu pulled out his dagger and stabbed it in again.
It's not that she doesn't care about Brother Jue, but if Brother Jue is manipulated and coerced, Brother Yu and Chang Sheng will also be in danger in the end.
She couldn't put the other two children in danger because of one child.
The palms and backs of her hands were all flesh, so she had no choice.
But you have to choose.
Yunchu's dagger pierced Chu Rui's body, and then stirred hard: "Tell me, where are you hiding King Yan?"
Chu Rui almost fainted from the pain.
He took a deep breath, grabbed Yun Chu's wrist, pushed her back, and then slowly pulled out the dagger.
Yun Chu raised his hand to make a gesture, and a powerful guard from the west stepped forward and held Chu Rui down.
"Yun Chu, you are crazy!" Chu Rui said angrily, "You treat me like this, I will never let Chu Hongjue go!"
"You are not qualified to negotiate terms with me now!" Yun Chu pulled out a long knife and placed it on his neck. "I will count to three. If you don't take the initiative to tell King Yan where he is hiding, then I will have to send you there." Meet your parents!"
Chu Rui looked into her eyes and felt a deep murderous intention.
He knew that the woman in front of him would definitely kill him, she would definitely be able to do it.
He didn't even have the heart to hurt her biological son, but she hurt him without mercy.
"three."
"two."
Yun Chu's knife kept pressing down.
Blood seeped out and flowed down Chu Rui's neck.
He closed his eyes and compromised: "Okay, I'll take you there."
Yunchu said coldly: "You just need to tell me where to hide it. Don't try to play tricks."
"Hiding in the secret room." Chu Rui pursed his lips, "If I don't go and you can't find the mechanism, you will never be able to rescue Chu Hongjue. He will starve to death in the underground secret room."
Yunchu picked up the knife and stabbed it into his thigh to prevent anything from happening.
Then he said: "Lead the way."
Chu Rui's face was distorted in pain, and he couldn't help but said: "Okay, very good, Yun Chu, you are too cruel."
He walked hard towards the back of the Regent's Palace.
After he took possession of the house, he began to repair it aggressively. At a glance, there were no major changes, but Yunchu knew that all the repairs should be done underground, otherwise, her people would not be able to find anything.
"This is it."
Chu Rui suddenly stopped in front of a huge rockery.
The rockery is huge not because of its height, but because it stretches for dozens of meters, surrounded by water and fish swimming around.
Chu Rui raised his hand and pointed to a recessed place above the rockery and said: "Throw a rockery stone in, and the underground secret room will naturally open."
Qiu Tong jumped onto the rockery, picked up a round stone on the side and threw it in. There was only a loud thud, followed immediately by a heavy sound.
The rockery in front of Yunchu slowly moved to both sides, revealing a narrow and dark passage.
Qiutong was overjoyed: "Queen Mother, there really is a secret room!"
at this time.
Chu Rui, who was being escorted by two guards, suddenly raised his foot and stepped down hard.
Yunchu secretly thought it was not good.
Just as he was about to give instructions, in an instant——
I saw that the ground where Chu Rui was standing suddenly sank, and the two guards also fell down. Soon, the bricks on the ground closed.
"Fan Ming, you lead people to dig up this place as fast as possible, dig all the way down, and you must find Chu Rui, life or death!" Yun Chu said coldly, "Lin Qiang, you lead people to follow the Ai family into the secret room!"
The five guards in the West took the lead with torches, followed closely by Yun Chu.
The secret passage was so narrow that people had to bend down to walk in. After walking for about half an hour, the secret passage finally became wider. I continued walking, and it gradually became taller, allowing people to stand. Then, there appeared in front of me. A door.
Yun Chu prayed in his heart, hoping that Brother Jue would be behind the door...
Before she pushed the door open, she heard crying inside the door.
"Wow wow wow——"
"Mother... oooh, oh, I want mother!"
The tip of Yunchu's nose felt sore, it was Brother Jue, her Brother Jue!
"Your Highness King Yan, please stop crying." A young woman's voice came out, "Come, drink milk, I will feed you milk..."
"No, yes, I don't want it!" Chu Hongjue cried loudly and pushed the person in front of him away, "Mother, I want mother!"
He was only one and a half years old and could not speak much, but he could already run. He jumped off the young woman and ran towards the door.
The young woman hurriedly chased after her: "Your Highness, this is a secret room, you can't get out. Be good, please be good, don't hurt yourself. It's hard for me to explain to the prince..."
Before he finished speaking, a door in front of him was pushed open.
The young woman thought someone was bringing food. When she looked up, she saw a group of guards, and she was immediately frightened.
"daughter!"
Chu Hongjue burst into tears and threw herself at Yunchu.
Yun Chu bent down and picked up the child. She touched the child from his hair to his little feet to make sure that there was no injury, and then his high-hanging heart finally settled down.
"It's okay, it's okay..." She put a sticker on the child's forehead, "Mom is here and will take you home. This will never happen again."
"Woooooooo..."
Although the little guy didn't suffer much, he felt aggrieved when he woke up in a strange place and couldn't see familiar people. He cried for a while, and when he was tired from crying, he fell asleep in Yun Chu's arms.
Yun Chu handed the child to Qiu Tong to take with him personally and did not return to the palace.
But to see the progress of the tunnel.
The backyard of the Prince Regent's Mansion was completely dug up, and there were a total of west passages underneath. One led to Brother Guan Jue's secret room, and the other three led to different places. Everyone was divided into three groups and walked forward along the tunnel. After walking for a while, the three secret roads continued to branch off into six roads... Finally, they continued to branch off into more than thirty roads.
Yun Chu's eyes became more and more complicated.
Chu Rui really left himself a way out.
It is said that cats have nine lives, and Chu Rui has so many escape routes, which is even worse than nine lives.
Fortunately, she had enough people under her command. No matter how many branches there were, at least a hundred guards would be arranged to move forward along this line.
It was not until the afternoon of the next day that the news finally came.
"Report to the Queen Mother that the regent has been found outside the east gate of the capital!"
