Mo Chen said, "Lu Yuan and I will go explore the ancient well. Ye Qianmo, you stay outside on guard. If there is any danger, you send a signal and we will evacuate immediately."

Ye Qianmo nodded and said, "Okay, you must be careful."

The three of them came to the garden of the Nether Palace and found the abandoned ancient well. Lu Yuan and Mo Chen approached the ancient well carefully and looked into the well. The well was pitch black and exuded a damp smell.

Lu Yuan took out a torch from the package, lit it and threw it into the well. The torch illuminated the well wall, and they found some strange marks on the well wall, which seemed to be some kind of runes.

Mo Chen frowned and said, "These runes look very unusual. Maybe this well really has some secrets."

They slowly climbed down the well wall, and when they reached a certain depth, they found a narrow passage filled with a mysterious atmosphere that made people shudder.

Lu Yuan and Mo Chen looked at each other and walked into the passage cautiously. The passage was dark and damp, with a faint light flickering on the wall. They walked forward along the passage, full of vigilance.

After walking for a while, they came to a fork in the road. The two passages led to different directions, and they didn't know which one to choose.

Lu Yuan stopped and thought for a while, then said, "We can't make a blind choice. Mo Chen, see if you can find some clues from the walls or the ground of the passage."

Mo Chen squatted down and looked at the ground carefully. Suddenly, he found some strange footprints. These footprints were very faint, but it could be seen that they were heading towards the passage on the left.

Mo Chen pointed at the footprints and said, "Look, there are footprints here. Maybe someone has walked here. We can follow the footprints."

Lu Yuan nodded, and they continued along the passage on the left. The passage became narrower and narrower, and they had to bend down to move forward. Finally, they came to a closed stone door.

The stone door was engraved with complex runes, emitting powerful power. Lu Yuan and Mo Chen tried to push the stone door, but found that it did not move at all.

Mo Chen frowned and said, "This stone door looks very solid. We may need to find a way to open it."

Lu Yuan carefully observed the runes on the stone door and suddenly found a strange pattern. This pattern seemed to be in the shape of a keyhole.

Lu Yuan said: "Maybe we need a key to open this stone door. But where can we find the key?"

Mo Chen thought for a moment and said, "Let's go back and discuss it with Ye Qianmo first. Maybe she can think of a solution."

They returned the same way and found Ye Qianmo who was on guard outside. Seeing them coming back, Ye Qianmo hurriedly asked, "How is it? Did you find the passage to the underground secret room?"

Lu Yuan told Ye Qianmo what they found in the passage. After hearing this, Ye Qianmo fell into deep thought.

After a while, Ye Qianmo said, "I remember there is an ancient key in the treasure house of the Nether Palace. It is said that it can open some mysterious doors. Maybe that key is what we need."

Lu Yuan's eyes lit up and he said, "Then how can we get the key?"

Ye Qianmo said: "The treasury is heavily guarded, and it is difficult for us to go in and get the key directly. But I know the guard change shift schedule of the treasury. We can take the opportunity to sneak in when the guard changes shift."

Mo Chen said worriedly: "This is too dangerous. If we are discovered, all our efforts will be wasted."

Ye Qianmo said firmly: "This is our only chance. We must take a risk." Lu Yuan nodded and said: "Okay, then we will act according to Ye Qianmo's plan. Before taking action, we must be fully prepared."

They began to make a detailed plan. Ye Qianmo used her identity as a princess to learn about the guard layout and shift schedule of the treasure house. Lu Yuan and Mo Chen prepared some tools and props in case of emergency.

Ye Qianmo was busy preparing a rescue plan with Lu Yuan and Mo Chen, but suddenly she received a summons from the Palace Master. Her heart tightened, knowing that this conversation would not be an easy one.

Ye Qianmo took a deep breath, trying to keep herself calm, and then walked towards the Palace Master's Palace. Along the way, her mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about how to deal with it.

Arriving at the Palace Master's Palace, Ye Qianmo bowed respectfully: "Greetings, Palace Master."

The Palace Master sat on a high throne, looking at Ye Qianmo with cold eyes, and said slowly: "Ye Qianmo, I heard that you have been very close to two outsiders recently?"

Ye Qianmo's heart trembled slightly, but she remained calm on her face and said, "Palace Master, we just met by chance. They had just arrived and were a little curious about the Nether Palace. As a princess, I just gave them some pointers."

The Palace Master narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a hint of doubt: "Is that all? I heard that you seem to be planning something."

Ye Qianmo quickly shook his head and said, "Palace Master, you are worrying too much. They are just ordinary passers-by, how could I plan anything with them? Everything in the Nether Palace is under the control of the Palace Master, how dare I have any second thoughts."

The Palace Master snorted coldly and said, "It's better this way. You must remember that you are the princess of the Nether Palace. Your duty is to serve the Nether Palace, not to collude with outsiders."

Ye Qianmo lowered his head and said, "Ye Qianmo understands. Please rest assured, Palace Master, I will definitely abide by my duties."

The Palace Master was silent for a moment, then continued, "I don't want those two people to stay in the Nether Palace for long. Find a chance to make them leave."

Ye Qianmo was anxious and said, "Palace Master, they have no ill intentions, but..."

The Palace Master interrupted her and said, "It's best if there is no ill intention. But the Nether Palace doesn't need outsiders to mess things up. If you don't want me to take tough measures against them, let them leave as soon as possible."

Ye Qianmo bit his lip and said, "Yes, Palace Master. I will let them leave as soon as possible."

The Palace Master waved his hand and said, "Go down. Remember my words, don't let me down."

Ye Qianmo bowed and left the palace, feeling anxious. She knew that once Lu Yuan and Mo Chen left, the plan to rescue her sister would become more difficult.

Ye Qianmo returned to her residence, where Lu Yuan and Mo Chen were anxiously waiting for her. Seeing Ye Qianmo coming back, they hurriedly asked, "How is it? What does the Palace Master want to see you about?"

Ye Qianmo sighed and told them what the Palace Master said. Lu Yuan frowned and said, "This is troublesome. If we leave now, the rescue plan will not be able to proceed."

Mo Chen also said: "Yes, we have finally prepared to this point, we can't just give up like this."

Ye Qianmo said helplessly: "I don't want you to leave, but the Palace Master has become suspicious. If we don't do as he asks, it may cause greater trouble." (End of this chapter)
