Chapter 1106: A Secret Passage?

Soon after, dinner began at home. Because Xue Yan had just eaten the longevity noodles not long ago, he was too full to eat dinner, so he only had small bites.

Jiang Yue had also eaten a lot at Shao Youyue’s place, so she couldn’t eat much either.

Suddenly, they heard the sound of a clap. Xue Dafu and the others — who were sitting at the table and eating — were chatting too much and did not hear it.

Only Xue Yan and Jiang Yue — who were sitting at the door of the main room heard it.

Xue Yan and Jiang Yue’s eyes met.

Then, the two of them put down their bowls and chopsticks and sneaked out.

Coincidentally, the door to the courtyard was wide open, so they easily came out.

The moment they left the courtyard, they saw that one of the hidden guards they had sent to keep an eye on Prince Weimin had returned. The secret guard was about to rush over and bow to them, but they stopped him.

Many people in the village were still awake. Some of them were still visiting each other, and they could easily tell if someone was visiting the Xue family.

To prevent being bumped into, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan silently went with this secret guard to the rice field in the village.

Only then did the secret guard bow and report, “Zou Yibai snuck into Prince Weimin’s residence and overheard Prince Weimin talking about Xinyuan in the study. Then, he saw someone rush out of the study as if he was taking someone somewhere. It was very likely that he was going to Xinyuan. Prince Weimin might have a secret passage, but no one knows where the secret passage leads to. The people who were watching Prince Weimin’s residence did not come out that day, but Zou Yibai was sure that the person was no longer in the residence.”

A secret passage?

It was not unusual for a royal residence to have a secret passage, so Jiang Yue remained expressionless.

Xue Yan, on the other hand, who was slightly startled.

‘How was there a secret passage…’

In his previous life, there was no secret passage at Weimin’s residence…

There were two secret rooms, and they were all filled with gold, silver, and jewelry…

It was only after this secret guard left that Xue Yan told Jiang Yue that Prince Weimin did not have a secret passage at all.

“You didn’t have one in your previous life?” Jiang Yue did not expect him to say that.

“No, I didn’t.” Xue Yan shook his head. He then explained in detail, “l can’t remember this wrongly. In my previous life, I made Da Ling more accessible by building a river. Later on, Prince Weimin’s residence was demolished and turned into a river. It was dug very deep. If there was a secret passage, we would definitely have found it during the digging process. However, there was nothing. There were only two secret chambers built underground. These two secret chambers were discovered when I led the army to attack Prince Weimin.”

“In that case…” Jiang Yue pondered.

“If there’s a secret passage… It must be newly made. Why would Prince Weimin dig a secret passage? In his previous life, he had never done it. Moreover, if there was a secret passage, it couldn’t have been done in such a short time.

“If the route was short, it wouldn’t take a long time. If it was long, it might take a year or two to dig it. However, it’s only been a year since we transmigrated here.

“Looks like he’s being used by Prince Yi. He didn’t look like he had transmigrated or been reborn. How could you be sure that there was absolutely no secret passage in your previous life? That secret passage doesn’t seem to have been dug by him. Instead, it seems to have suddenly appeared…”

Xue Yan also agreed that the secret passage seemed to have suddenly popped out. Without anyone digging, how could it possibly suddenly pop out? Do you think it’s the butterfly effect again?”

“Maybe.” Unable to figure it out, Jiang Yue could only attribute this strange phenomenon to the butterfly effect for the time being. “But we were right. Prince Yi really borrowed Prince Weimin’s power to get him to send people here. Since Prince Ying has failed, he wouldn’t have sent Prince Weimin to kill you and your mother. He would have definitely sent Princess Jin..”
