After their minds were read, the entire court trembled with fear.

Chapter 264 Dog Cave Tunnel

Not to mention that General Zhongwu never set foot in those brothels before they were shut down.

Now, with the old emperor's crackdown, who would dare to go in?

Many people firmly believe that Shen Zhiyi has made a mistake.

Many people probably don't know that General Zhongwu had an affair with a famous courtesan.

"This is impossible!!!"

[Haha, this General Zhongwu is imitating whoever it was again, digging tunnels to have affairs with famous courtesans.]

[As expected of a military general, he has plenty of strength and skill. He found a small courtyard near the flower shop, and then, all by himself, with just a shovel, he performed a miracle, digging a tunnel in a very short time. Amazing.]

However, due to limited resources, the tunnel wasn't dug very high; it looked like a dog hole, hahaha.

The Crown Prince's concubine's face darkened.

She had been to that small courtyard; if she walked normally, she would have to take a roundabout route to get to the flower shop.

However, if a tunnel is dug, the journey will be greatly shortened.

Depend on!

Oh dear, should I just find an excuse to leave? I really want to see that dog hole tunnel.

[This loyal and valiant general is about to crawl inside, hahaha, how comical!]

Shen Zhiyi rubbed her stomach, watching the surveillance footage of General Zhongwu kneeling on the ground crawling through a dog hole, completely unaware of the rather strange atmosphere around her.

After a while.

People came to bid farewell to the crown prince.

The crown prince looked at the eager crowd.

Don't think he doesn't know what they're going there to do.

Honestly, I didn't even think to bring him along!

"Wait for me!"

Shen Zhiyi can see the footage through the surveillance camera, but they can't. If they want to see the live version, they'll have to put in some extra effort themselves.

The Crown Prince's concubine couldn't sit down either. Noticing that the Crown Prince had left, she quickly made an excuse to leave as well.

The young lady from General Zhongwu's household couldn't sit still any longer, and eventually found an excuse to leave.

The Crown Princess shifted her feet.

Actually, she really wanted to go and see it.

However, after looking at Shen Zhiyi, she reluctantly dismissed the idea.

So...

A group of people ran to General Zhongwu's small courtyard.

The Crown Prince, along with his concubine and a group of people, went to the flower shop.

"Is the official here to see Qin'er?"

"Oh dear, Qin'er doesn't live upstairs anymore, she lives in the backyard."

The Crown Prince and his entourage understood.

The group went directly to Qin'er's room.

Qin'er, who was waiting for General Zhongwu, saw someone break in and let out a sharp scream.

The Crown Prince's concubine immediately gagged the man, tied him up, and threw him onto the bed.

Where is the dog hole?

The Crown Prince's concubine said without any politeness.

Qin'er: "Huh? What dog hole? There's no dog hole here."

"It's the entrance to the tunnel."

Qin'er trembled. Was it the wife of the loyal and valiant general who had come to her door?

That's not right. She remembered that the wife of the Loyal General was old and faded, how could she possibly look so young?

But these people had fierce and menacing eyes, so she didn't dare to provoke them. She tremblingly reached out and pointed to a piece of floorboards next to the bed.

The prince gestured to the people behind him to bring over a chair.

And so, a group of people sat or stood around that floor.

At this moment, General Zhongwu was still struggling to climb through the dog hole tunnel.

Because it is somewhat narrow, there is no way back in this tunnel.

He spent some time climbing to the exit, opened the panel, and revealed a rather lewd smile.

"Hey, baby, have you missed me?"

Once his head was exposed, the smile on General Zhongwu's face vanished.

He rubbed his eyes vigorously.

I dared not open my eyes, thinking it was my own hallucination.

Look what he saw; it's definitely not his treasure.

[Hahaha, I can't take it anymore.]

The smile didn't disappear; it simply transferred to Shen Zhiyi.

【No, when did the Crown Prince arrive? Wait, why is the Crown Prince's concubine there too? So, what's the matter with the Crown Prince's concubine? Hahahaha.】

The Crown Princess quickly came up with an excuse.

"Ahem, Shen Lang, the Crown Prince's concubine has been in a bad mood lately and may have offended you just now. Please don't take it to heart."

"How could this be? How could this be?"

No wonder the Crown Prince's concubine looked unwell; I thought she was ill. Turns out she found out about her father's affair.

[Haha, General Zhongwu covered the floorboards back up, but then it opened again.]

Shen Zhiyi tried to suppress her laughter so hard that she suffered internal injuries, and eventually, she couldn't help but laugh silently, supporting her forehead.

The Eighth Princess was restless and regretted not going with them.

General Zhongwu regretted coming.

He was forcibly pulled out of the dog hole.

General Zhongwu raised one finger.

"I must not have woken up properly from my afternoon nap."

With that, he scurried back into the dog hole tunnel with a bang, this time even faster than when he came.

"It's a ghost, it must be a ghost."

"Why is it the Crown Prince? What is he doing there?"

"Damn, could that woman be having an affair with the Crown Prince too?"

"If you have one, you don't need to tell me beforehand. It's so embarrassing that I ran into you."

General Zhongwu saw light ahead and knew he was about to reach the exit.

He opened the lid.

His face cracked with anger.

There was a circle of people outside the dog hole exit.

When he popped his head out, it was like looking at a dog.

I can't take it anymore, I'm dying of laughter, hahaha.

Who leaked this information?

The Crown Princess quickly drank some tea to calm herself down.

This is just too dramatic.

[Hmph, General Zhongwu has emerged from the dog hole tunnel. Well, with the Crown Prince out of the way, he's gotten bolder. But look, your wife is here, hahaha.]

"Pfft, cough cough cough."

The Crown Princess understood what Consort Liangdi's sister had been up to; she had summoned her own mother directly.

General Zhongwu was unaware that his wife was behind the crowd.

After emerging from the dog hole tunnel, he gave everyone an awkward yet polite smile.

"Gentlemen, why did you suddenly come to my humble abode without giving me any prior notice?"

"What did you say? That you crawled through a dog hole?"

The smile on General Zhongwu's face disappeared.

This time, the burden has shifted to everyone.

The crowd wisely dispersed to both sides.

Just as the young lady from General Zhongwu's family was about to appear before him with her elderly mother.

He darted back into the dog hole tunnel.

It's an illusion, it must be an illusion!!!

He must have stayed up too late last night, so he's not fully awake yet.

[Haha, I can't take it anymore, he actually crawled back in!]

[Tsk tsk tsk, what to do? The Crown Prince is in front, the Lady is behind, and there are daughters on both sides. How exciting! I wonder where General Zhongwu will appear from.]

General Zhongwu is now in a dilemma.

He has only one thought on his mind right now.

—If I had known, I wouldn't have been so lazy and dug such a narrow one!
