95.5 Study Room Secret Passage

  Year after year entwined in a cycle of no end 95.5 Bookroom Secret Passage

  "I hope you really don't understand." Guan Canghai still didn't give up probing Yan'er's expression.

  "What do you mean?" Yan'er stopped continuing the conversation with Guan Canghai, and in her anger, she flung down the jade pendant she was playing with.

  "Xia Yaner, I don't appreciate her, but I won't allow such a thing to happen in my harem." Guan Canghai put down his words and didn't want to say anything more to Yan'er.

  "You mean I've done something to Xia Yan'er, don't you?" Yan'er glared at Guan Canghai in anger.

  "Isn't that rice cake enough?" Guan Canghai did not raise his head, and the face of the memorial was gloomy.

  "Rice cake?" Yan Er suddenly realized, feeling relieved in her heart that she hadn't joined He Mei Ru's group, but Yan Er still didn't understand what these things had to do with rice cakes.

  Guanchanghai was also observing Yan'er's changes, he didn't want Yan'er to become like the women in the harem who were fighting for fame and fortune. Looking at Yan'er's increasingly puzzled expression, Guanchanghai finally relaxed his eyebrows: "Alright, don't think about it anymore, I believe you didn't participate in this."

  As for Canghai's attitude of being hot and cold, Yan'er had long been used to it, but she was still curious and continued to ask: "What's going on? You make it clear, and I'll have a clear mind in the future."

  "What a silly girl." Guan Canghai wiped the tip of her nose and stopped talking, returning to her desk to focus on her own affairs.

  Her face knew that today's pass was over, but after calming down, she was still thinking about Pan Yueyang's voice just now. Why did I hear Yueyang's cry for help in the study? Is there a secret passage in this study?

  Her eyes glanced at Guan Canghai, who was now intently staring at something in front of him. His mind wasn't on her, so she pretended to be bored and observed every detail of the study, hoping to find some clues. The study wasn't big, and there weren't many things inside, just a few books and some sparse decorations. She thought that if she had enough time, she would definitely be able to find a hidden mechanism.

  Her eyes gazed at the wall behind the sea of people, and the moon must be on the other side of that wall! Upon careful consideration, when she was just close to the wall, the sound of the moon was particularly clear.

  "What are you thinking about?" Guan Canghai had already reviewed the memorial and looked at Yan'er for a while.

  "Huh? Nothing." Her face didn't know how long she had been dazed and didn't dare say more.

  "I've been staring at you for a while." Guan Canghai looked at Yan'er with a smile, thinking that this little woman was still upset about what happened to Xiaoyan earlier.

  "I'm hungry." Turning her head to look out the window, it was already noon, time really flies.

  "Then let's have someone send over some food, don't starve my beloved Gui Fei to death." Watching the sea with her could ease the tension between them.

  "Ugh, I won't eat this rice cake." In Yan'er's impression, this rice cake must be problematic, or else she would have been poisoned to death.

  At this point, Guan Canghai couldn't help but laugh and pinched the tip of his nose: "You think too much."

  "What's going on, I still have a knot in my heart. Only by cutting myself off completely can I avoid unnecessary trouble. Since Guan Hai has already decided that someone doesn't want Xiaoyan to be happy, then she should leave as soon as possible. After all, she herself is also somewhat involved."

  "Let's talk about it later." Guan Canghai seemed reluctant to bring up these matters.

  "It's all my fault, if I hadn't wanted everyone to see the emperor, I wouldn't have asked you to arrange a flower viewing, and none of this would have happened later." Yan immediately cleared himself.

  "This is not your fault, the disputes in the harem are endless, I just hope that the woman I appreciate will not do anything out of line. It seems like you called me 'Your Majesty' for the first time?" Guan Canghai burst into loud laughter.

  "Nonsense! I also called out on the day we entered the palace." Yan'er immediately spoke up and stuck out her tongue.

  "You said it too. Haha, alright, serve the meal." Guan Canghai shouted to the eunuch waiting outside the door.

  These days, Yan'er has been observing every detail in the study room, but still hasn't found an opportunity, so she can only wait quietly for the right moment. These days, Guan Canghai has been returning to the study room on time after court, originally Yan'er thought of coming to the study room earlier, but thinking again, doing so would only arouse Guan Canghai's suspicion, he is a cautious person by nature, it's better to stick to her usual schedule.

  Besides, it's not the right time to rush to rescue Yu Yang now. Mu Bai hasn't contacted her yet, and even if she knew where Yu Yang was, she could only wait for Mu Bai to contact her. It's better to take a steady approach and slowly look for opportunities.

  Her face looked at the time, it was almost time to get up and go to the study with Bi'er. This is like work, those concubines are not admiring flowers or singing and dancing every day, but she is, every day, desperately accompanying Guan Canghai in the study. I'm afraid that group of women would be driven mad by looking at her like this, only she herself knew that this life was too dull.

  "Bai'er, let's go." Yan'er had been in the palace for almost two months now, and she had basically grasped all the etiquette within the palace. The environment she was in had changed, and her temperament had also become different. Now when she looked at herself in the mirror, she felt that she was full of noble and dignified air.

  "Is His Majesty inside?" Yan'er habitually asked the eunuch guarding the gate.

  "Reporting back to Your Highness, the Emperor has not yet descended from his morning court."

  Yan'er's face lit up with joy upon hearing the eunuch's response: "Alright, you all guard the entrance and report to me as soon as the Emperor returns." Yan'er hastily pushed open the door and then tightly closed it again.

  "Yu Yang?" Yan'er came back to the wall behind the desk and called out softly.

  "Yu Yang? I'm Yan Er, Yu Yang, are you inside? Can you hear me?" Yan Er hastily whispered again.

  Pan Yu's cold eyes stared at the stone wall in front of him, without making a sound.

  "What's going on?" Seeing no one responding, Yan'er sat down on the ground with her back against the wall in frustration.

  "Could it be that I misheard last time? Maybe Yuè Yáng really has passed away, and it's just my own thoughts playing tricks on me. Yan'er closed her eyes in pain: "Yuè Yáng, maybe I'm thinking too much, you've really left this place, may you rest in peace." Yan'er muttered to herself."

  Pan Yu Yang's inner turmoil constantly warned himself that this woman had betrayed him, and after the fall of Pan Long Guo, she actually entered the palace as a concubine of the usurper. He couldn't believe he hadn't seen her sinister side earlier! Pan Yu Yang was so furious that he wanted to kill Yan Er with his own hands immediately.

  "Yu Yang, for the sake of our child, I will definitely live a good life... I wonder where Mu Bai took our child..." Yan Er muttered anxiously again.

  Pan Yu Yang's whole body trembled. Zi Yan? Mu Bai? Who was Zi Yan? Could it be... that she hadn't heard about her being pregnant when she left?

  "I'm behind this stone wall." Pan Yu Yang suddenly couldn't help but speak up.

  Her face heard a faint voice and thought she had misheard, sitting motionless on the ground for half a day: "Misheard, misheard, how could someone be talking to me."

  "It's me." Pan Yu Yang shook her head, this woman was still as silly as ever.

  "Is that you, Moonlight? Is that you? Am I dreaming?" Yan's entire body was pressed tightly against the wall, with one ear stuck firmly to the surface.

  "Yes." Pan Yu Yang let out a sigh.

  "Where are you? Behind this wall?" Yan's face was excited and almost shouted out loud.

  "I was locked in here by that scoundrel." Pan Yu Yang's voice was apparently not very steady.

  "What's wrong with you? Oh heavens, how can I get you out?" Yan'er was desperately scratching at the wall.

  "Hmph, rescue me? My current martial arts skills have all been sealed by that bastard, otherwise this small stone wall wouldn't be able to trap me." Pan Yu Yang covered his chest, clenching his fists in anger.

  "Don't worry, are you hurt?" Yan'er recalled that the mysterious person and Guan Canghai seemed to be saying something with this meaning.

  "It's almost fine now." After saying that, Pan Yu Yang still lowered her voice and coughed slightly, her face not looking too clear.

  "Don't worry, I'll take a look at this study and see if there's any mechanism that can help you get out." Yan'er got up and searched the walls all around to see if she could find any mechanism that she could reach, but unfortunately, after searching almost every place she could touch, this wall still wouldn't budge.

  Her face defeated, she plopped down on the back of the chair facing the sea: "Where is it?" Yan'er kept looking around every corner of the room, finding mechanisms wasn't really her strong suit.

  Her face strained as she knocked on the armrest of the chair, and the two armrests made different sounds under her fingertips. Suddenly, Yan seemed to have thought of something.

  One of them is empty! Yan's hand grasped the armrest of the chair and knocked it twice, really! The right armrest was empty, could the mechanism be on this armrest?

  But upon closer inspection of the armrests, apart from a red gemstone on either side, there was nothing else.

  She carefully looked at the red gemstone on the right armrest and suddenly reached out her hand to press it down.

  "The Emperor has arrived"

  The eunuch's voice sounded outside the door, and Yan'er hastily withdrew her fingers, immediately getting up, tidying up her slightly disheveled hair bun.

  Why did he come back at this time? Yan Er didn't know when she would be alone in the study room again.

  "Are you back?" As soon as the door opened, she immediately got up from the soft couch and came over to greet him.

  "Hmm, there's a lot on my mind in the morning, these past few days have been really annoying." Guan Canghai complained as he looked at Yan'er.

  "Don't overwork yourself." The clever face sat behind Guan Canghai and helped him massage his shoulders.

  "What did you do wrong?" Guan Canghai looked at Yan'er with a puzzled expression, and secretly glanced at the wall behind him.

  "Why ask this?" Yan'er covered up her own nervousness.

  "Suddenly being so enthusiastic towards me, I'm a bit bewildered." Guan Canghai didn't say anything more, he just stared at her face, wanting to see something in her eyes.

  "How could you think of me like that? Go find your Xiaoyan then!" Yan'er suddenly became displeased and flung off Guan Canghai's shoulder, turning her back to him, panting continuously.
