Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 2725 So Many Gu People
Liu Ya didn't want to think about it any further, because the answer was right in front of her eyes.No matter what the result is, she has to go over and see for herself.

There has never been any mark left by Cang Qianche here, it is very likely that he deliberately did not leave it.That is to remind Liu Ya: don't make unexpected moves, lest a bigger secret be exposed.

Then, move forward as soon as possible, there should be no danger.At least this is the direction that Cang Qianche has already walked.

Liu Ya scraped off all the maps drawn on the wall with a dagger, and then moved forward as quickly as possible with a torch.

When encountering a turn again, Liu Ya would silently compare it with the floor plan of the palace in her mind.After each comparison, her heart became a little colder.

If you go in this direction, you will see the exit in a while.If she didn't make a mistake in her calculations, the exit should be at...

Ten steps, fifteen steps, twenty steps... 35 steps!
When Liu Yamo counted two steps to No.40, the tunnel he was in finally came to an end, and when he looked up, a shaft appeared above.

But from the bottom, there is no light to be seen, it should be covered or used some other camouflage.

Liu Ya secretly inhaled, because the position in her heart and the position in front of her eyes were completely confirmed.As long as you go out from this shaft, you will be the empress dowager's bedroom.

Liu Ya has special flying claws on her body, it is very easy for her to go up.But Liu Ya still didn't forget to check the surroundings first, and found that the shaft was relatively smooth, and there were traces of something often slipping through it.

Liu Ya secretly calculated the time, if she went out now, it would be midnight outside, where would she go to find Cang Qianche?

After thinking for a while, Liu Ya suddenly heard movement above, as if someone was removing the cover above.

Liu Ya quickly extinguished the torch and took a step back.This location can be hidden at the end of the tunnel and look up quietly, but the people above may not be able to see the dark below.

Soon, the upper cover was lifted, and the moonlight shone through, as if someone was looking down.

Liu Ya didn't dare to show her head, for fear of being discovered.

But after a while, I heard Cang Qianche's voice calling softly: "Ya'er, is that you? Or is it someone else?"

"It's me." Liu Ya immediately stepped out and looked up.

Sure enough, it was Cang Qianche's face, he still couldn't see Liu Ya, but he had already slid down the rope from above.

Liu Ya immediately grabbed the rope and climbed up.Cang Qianche also gave her a hand.

After jumping up, Liu Ya was surprised to find that it was a small patio, and what just covered the opening below was a bonsai flower pot.

The pot is large, but because it is a large pot of orchids, and the orchid is made of a special algae and wood chips as a substrate, the pot is not heavy.

But Liu Ya had never been to this courtyard before, she looked around and showed a puzzled expression.

Cang Qianche's expression was more serious, with a bit of helplessness.He gently shook Liu Ya's hand, and moved the flowerpot back to its original position.

After finishing all these, Cang Qianche pulled Liu Ya to the Moon Gate on the side.It was only after going out of the Moon Gate that Liu Ya fully recognized that this was the backyard of the Empress Dowager's bedroom.

However, after the Empress Dowager moved to this bedroom, Liu Ya's visits were limited.And every time she comes, she always walks through the main entrance in a regular manner. It is impossible for her to go around to the side hall at the back to visit the courtyard, so it is normal that she cannot recognize it.

But this also proved one thing, that the underground tunnel had a direct connection with the Empress Dowager.

Liu Ya remained silent all this time, being led forward by Cang Qianche.Although she didn't know where he was going to lead her, Liu Ya definitely trusted Cang Qianche completely.

Turning around a small flower garden in the side courtyard, Liu Ya also realized that something was wrong.She whispered to Cang Qianche: "There are no hidden guards and night watch palace ladies here?"

"Hmm." Cang Qianche replied sullenly, as if he was still preoccupied.

Liu Ya looked around and stopped making any noise.

She knew that Cang Qianche's heart must be very heavy, he must have discovered something.So she wanted to wait until Cang Qianche calmed down and let him talk when he wanted to.

Cang Qianche led Liu Ya all the way to the back, and in front was a small hall that looked deserted.The empress dowager's bedroom is actually very large. This small hall may be used for placing things, or it may be a place that is not used at all.

Standing here, Cang Qianche took two deep breaths, and then said to Liu Ya: "Ya'er, what you see in a while will be... shocking. But I hope you can help me find a way."

"Okay." Liu Ya agreed without hesitation.At the same time, he shook Cang Qianche's hand tightly, hoping to give him some comfort.

Cang Qianche pulled Liu Ya two steps forward, she was already standing on the steps, and then she said: "Little Zhiyue saw it right, there really is a 'ghost' on the Empress Dowager!"

Liu Ya took a breath, and fixed her eyes on the door in front of her.She knew that if she opened this door, she might face the biggest secret in the palace.

Cang Qianche's hand was already on the door, and with a little force on his hand, the hidden palace door was pushed open.

The moonlight was very shallow, and only the front part penetrated into the hall, while the back was still pitch black.

Cang Qianche held Liu Ya's hand again, and walked in with her.Then he closed the door with his backhand, and pulled out a torch from behind Liu Ya.

After igniting, the flames jumped up, making this side hall even more weird.

But the front hall is empty, only a vacant Buddhist niche and a few boxes and cages.There is a small door on one side, and a bamboo curtain is hung on the door.

But there was no ashes in the room, only a faint smell that was similar to incense but not incense.

Liu Ya sniffed, frowned, and said, "There are a lot of Gu here."

"Yeah. It's in the back." Cang Qianche pointed to the small door with bamboo curtains, his expression became more solemn.

Liu Ya stepped forward resolutely, Cang Qianche didn't stop her, but followed closely.

As soon as the curtain was lifted, Liu Ya saw a lot of "people" in the room, and those people were standing against the wall, their stiff bodies seemed to have been acupunctured.

But the light of the torch shone through, and the eyelids of almost all the "people" could be seen trembling. These "people" were still alive, responsive but not necessarily conscious.

The room is also very clean, clean to spotless.

But Liu Ya's frown became tighter and tighter, she stared at those people standing motionless against the wall, and said lightly: "These are... Gu people."

Not an interrogative sentence, but an affirmative sentence.Liu Ya didn't expect to see so many Gu people here.
