The ruthless prince and the enchanting concubine

Chapter 43 The Mysterious Ice Cellar

The two of them were going to Xichen Pavilion with their own thoughts, when Chang Xin, Nangong Jin's bodyguard not far away, came in a hurry, with a serious expression on his face, as if something important had happened.

Nangong Yuexi obviously also saw this scene, but her face changed slightly, she let go of Ning Yan's arm without showing any signs, and said in a moderate voice: "Yuexi has been waiting for Sister Leng for a long time, and it's already gone!" Tired, Sister Leng should go back by herself."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Ning Yan to respond, she walked towards the courtyard where she lived.

Ning Ningyan looked at Nangong Yuexi's back playfully, then at Chang Xin who was walking towards this side, and thought to herself: This Nangong Yuexi is in this Jing'an Palace, not to mention ordinary servants, even She is not afraid of Nangong Jin, why did she see a trace of panic and timidity in her eyes when Chang Xin came today?

There was a smile on the corner of his lips, and he said in his mouth: "Chang guard is in such a hurry, where are you going?"

Chang Xin stopped suddenly, concealed the anxious look on his face, and replied with a salute as usual: "This subordinate just went to the front hall to get something, and he bumped into Miss Leng, please forgive me."

After all, his eyes narrowed and he wanted to leave.

Although Ning Ningyan felt that something was wrong, Chang Xin was someone close to Nangong Jin, and she didn't want to interfere too much, so she smiled casually and wanted to leave, but at the moment Chang Xin left, she glanced and saw the raised On the sleeves of his clothes, there were bloodstains, which was very frightening.

"Guard Chang, please wait a moment!" She stepped forward and stopped in front of him, her eyes full of consideration, Chang Xin had always been by Nangong Jin's side, his body was stained with blood, so Nangong Jin...

I couldn't help but feel some inexplicable worry in my heart, and raised my voice and asked, "Where's the prince?"

Chang Xin seemed a little surprised, and his eyes dodged a little, he replied hesitantly: "My lord... My lord is in the study..."

"In the study?" Ning Ningyan snorted softly, and said sharply, "The guard Chang never leaves the prince easily. Since the prince is in the study, the guard Chang should also come out of the study! But if I remember correctly, the guard Chang The direction you came from should be the waterside pavilion, not the study room, right?"

Chang Xin's complexion became gloomy, this woman was so fierce that she never gave him a chance to cover up her words.Haven't figured out how to deal with it yet, but Wen she continued to say——

"Is there a fight in the mansion just now?" She pointed at the blood stains on his robe, and said step by step: "If there is a fight in the mansion, it should alert Butler Qi, but why is there only one guard involved?" , and... the blood-stained robe?"

The next few words, like a loud bell, almost made Chang Xin take a step back.

He stared at the woman in front of him, and the woman looked straight at him without flinching.His heart tightened bit by bit, at this moment, what should he do?Time can no longer be delayed, if it continues to be delayed, the consequences will be disastrous!

He secretly sighed, and said to Ning Yanyan: "Miss Leng, go to the waterside pavilion and wait for me, and come back after going down!"

After all, Chang Xin almost ran away.

Ning Ningyan didn't pester her too much, since Chang Xin told her to go to Shuixie, why didn't she trust him once?Thinking of this, Ning Yan secretly used lightness kung fu and came to the water pavilion as quickly as possible. She thought that what she saw would be a shocking scene, but she never thought that the water pavilion was still as calm as before, surrounded by blue lake water Under the blowing of the autumn wind, there are layers of waves.

It doesn't seem like Chang Xin is lying, but why is there nothing on the waterside pavilion?

Didn't Chang Xin let her wait for him here to give her an explanation and explanation?

Is there any hidden secret in this water pavilion?

Ning Ningyan thought hard to no avail, so she sat down at the stone table in frustration. The stone table was icy cold. In this autumn day, the cold air was normal, but Ning Ningyan suddenly discovered that the cold air was not in the air or in the lake water. It radiates evenly in the middle, but it seems to leak faintly from some kind of gap.

Could it be, what's so weird about this stone table?
With a flash of inspiration, Ning Yanyan stood up and looked around the stone table. The stone table is very ordinary, but the stones on the table are rare and natural.It is not surprising that the four stone benches around the stone table have four different patterns: Suzaku, Xuanwu, Qinglong, and White Tiger.

Bending down to look under the stone table, a smooth pillar was touching the table, shaking a few times, but still motionless.

Just when Ning Yan was about to give up, she unexpectedly saw a tiny bulge under the stone table. This bulge didn't seem to be formed naturally, but if it was so smooth, if it wasn't touched often, it was carefully crafted.

A smile suddenly appeared on Ning Ningyan's face. In Linglong Mountain, she had seen many secret agencies like this. How could this little trick be difficult for her?
She gently raised her hand and pressed the bump.

Two "empty" sounds, the stone table miraculously moved away, and two pieces of stone gates appeared under the pillars of the table. Ning Yan did not spend much time this time, and quickly found the location of the organ.

With a clear sound, the stone door opened in response, and a secret room with bursts of air-conditioning appeared in front of Ning Yan.

Ning Ningyan couldn't help being curious, why is there such a secret place in this palace?Looking down, there is a marble stone step down from the hole, the stone step is extremely smooth, like a jade carving.

Suddenly, a strange sound came from the cave. The sound seemed to be moaning or growling... Could it be that there was someone down there?

Thinking of this, Ning Yan raised her foot and walked down.Just as her feet touched the third stone step, there was a sudden ear-piercing sound behind her. Ning Ningyan looked back and saw that the stone table had been completely closed and moved back to its original place.

Ning Ningyan pushed the stone gate at the entrance of the cave, but it didn't move at all. It seems that it is easy to come in and difficult to get out!

She turned around and walked forward more resolutely, but when the darkness passed and the lights in front of her eyes brightened, the scene completely shocked her——

This underground secret room is simply a natural ice cellar. The thick layer of ice tightly wraps the irregular stone walls. Countless icicles descend vertically from the top. The ground at the bottom of the secret room is also covered with ice, making it cold. abnormal.What is even more astonishing is that, amidst such ice and snow, there is actually a pool of water that has not frozen.

Ning Ningyan couldn't believe it, what kind of power is it that can keep such a cold place away from the changing seasons outside, so that it can maintain its unique coldness, coldness and tranquility year after year.

She went down again, and her feet had already touched the ice layer of the ground, which was very hard and slippery.

The cold air emanating from the whole space made Ning Yan shudder involuntarily. She gasped and raised her eyes to look around, and this look made her heart stop beating at that moment!
