The little girl hides her secrets

Chapter 221 221. Death
Out of cautious thinking, neither Yun Yao nor Yu An responded.

However, the man inside was unwilling to give up, and his hoarse voice came again: "I know it's not the emperor, why don't you come in and have a chat?"

The two looked at each other, and after Yun Yao pondered for a while, he felt that waiting here was not an option, it was better to go in and have a look, there might be other exits.

She winked at Yu An, Yu An nodded, and the two walked in quietly.

Although the bottom is clean, but the light is very weak, only dozens of locked doors can be seen vaguely, the further they go, the more clearly they can hear the heavy sound of the chains, and finally found in the dark cell. An unkempt, skinny old man.

The old man was missing an arm, and half of his empty sleeves swayed slightly. His neck and other three limbs were imprisoned by cold chains, and there was no escape.

He shook his head, barely revealing his eyes covered by his hair, and his cloudy eyes fixed on Yu An.

He let out a few strange laughs, and said with unknown meaning: "I didn't expect the second highness to appear here, but it's a pity that I can't salute your highness."

Yu An frowned, and said coldly, "Who are you?"

The old man grinned, showing his broken teeth, and said, "I am the old Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion, Second Highness has forgotten me so quickly."

When they returned to the main hall, the entire hall was surrounded by guards. Several people recognized Yun Yao and Yu An, pointed at them and shouted, "It's the two of them who broke into the imperial study! They must be related to that assassin!"

The Fifth Tibetan leaned against the wall and said, "There is another exit from this secret passage, which leads to the straight room where the eunuchs live. You can go out from there."

She pushed open the door and looked, only to find that the whole imperial study room was empty.There seemed to be a team of guards running outside the high courtyard wall, making a mess of loud shouts.Yun Yao carefully identified these voices, and his eyes widened in shock.

Yu An smelled a stench, but he could only see the darkness, so he asked, "What's inside?"

Yu An immediately said: "If this is the case, Fifth Son Shu will be the first person to be suspected, because we came out as his servants."

"Yes." Yun Yao added: "There was an accident, we entered the imperial study to avoid the soldiers, and accidentally fell here."

Fifth Zang sighed, and said with a sad face: "Our fifth family is sorry for you, and also sorry for Princess Huairou."

Yu An nodded, and said seriously: "Be careful, protect yourself first if you find something wrong."

"No need." Fifth Zang shook his head calmly and said, "Bringing someone like me out will only hurt you."

Yun Yao came to the place where he fell, and then got back from the table. The imperial study room had faint traces of being turned over, but it was empty at the moment.

"Old Pavilion Master." Yun Yao said dumbly, "You are the father of the fifth son."

The door was not locked, and it opened with a light pull. Yun Yao saw the scene inside and vomited with nausea.

Yun Yao gasped, her face was gloomy, and she said firmly, "We'll get you out."

"Zhifang." Yun Yao's eyes lit up, then he shook his head and said, "You go out with us."

The old emperor vomited blood and died in the hall!
Yun Yao didn't have time to think about it, she hurried back along the secret passage, and said nervously: "The old emperor passed away. The imperial doctor said it was caused by poisoning. In order to find out the perpetrators, the entire palace is now sealed off."

These were the corpses of two very good-looking men. Their faces were clean, but their bodies were scarred and covered with traces of various instruments. Yun Yao couldn't bear to look at them, so he covered the two corpses with straw.

Yun Yao's facial features were twisted together, she pinched her nose and said, "There are a lot of traces of blood dragging, and some severed arms and legs. This place should have transported a lot of corpses."

Only then did the old man notice Yun Yao next to her, and met her eyes, both of them looked inquiringly.

Fifth Zang nodded and pointed weakly in a dark direction. Yun Yao saw a dilapidated door inside. She bowed to Fifth Zang and pulled Yu An away.

Yun Yao had known this would happen a long time ago, so he stared and said, "Everything must be proved, we just lost our way in the palace, obviously you caught us out of nowhere, so we hid in."

Although the old man was so thin that he lost his appearance, the outline of this face was exactly the same as that of the fifth son book, and it was indeed possible that he was related by blood with the fifth son book.

Yun Yao smiled modestly, then asked, "Why are you locked up here?"

Yun Yao pursed his lips, struggling for a while, and could only say: "I will definitely come back to save you."

Fifth Tibetan smiled wryly and said, "Not now, you can save me later when you have a solution."

The Fifth Zang took another look at Yu An, turned around and said, "The emperor is afraid of the Tianji Pavilion. In order to control my son, he locked me here for two years."

Fifth Tibetan almost fell to the ground, Yun Yao and Yu An quickly supported him to the corner and sat down.

Yun Yao raised her head vigilantly, and faintly heard the words "blockade, death", she frowned, and whispered: "I'll go up and have a look, you wait below."

Yun Yao seemed to sense something, the words were so disgusting that it was difficult to speak, so he twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Let's go back quickly."

Yu An's eyes opened slightly, and he didn't deny it, but he didn't explain too much either.

Yu An said with a cold face: "Let's get out of here quickly."

Yu An was confused, and was about to ask why, when he suddenly heard a sound on the ground.

"Yes." Yun Yao said with a bitter face: "We have to go back as soon as possible to get rid of the suspicion."

Fifth Zang looked at the torn iron chain on the ground, his eyes were full of disbelief, and he exclaimed, "This girl is really a god."

As she said that, she untied the iron chain on the old man's body, and frowned uncomfortably when she saw the bloodstains worn out underneath.

Yu An was a little less vigilant, and calmly said: "I am not the second prince, the second prince should be in the hall at this moment."

Yun Yao nodded, pulled Yu An into the passage, and walked out from a dilapidated woodshed.

She patted the straw sticking to her body, and suddenly felt that the firewood pile in front of her was a bit weird. She stepped forward and pulled it a few times, revealing two dead bodies.

Yu An's expression was gloomy, and he said in a deep voice: "During the time I was in the palace, the old emperor once spent the night in the imperial study, and no one asked."

As he spoke, he looked at Yu An and said, "Looking at your eyes, you are indeed not the second prince, you are Princess Huairou's child in Xigan."

The commander came out from behind the guards, stared at the two and said, "Is the palace a place where two servants can walk around casually, arrest them."

"In such a hurry to arrest us, I think you want to take the opportunity to let your subordinates go out to do something." Yun Yao raised his voice and said, "For example, go out and clean up the criminal evidence of poisoning the emperor."

The commander was shocked and shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

The second prince, who had already changed his identity, took the opportunity to step forward and said: "She is right, until the murderer is found, everyone including the guards are not allowed to leave here."
