The medical concubine arrives: Prince, don't be arrogant

Chapter 223 The Night of Fright
Thirteen looked at her, nodded knowingly, then stepped forward cautiously, holding the bottleneck with both hands, and slowly twisted it to the left.

"Be careful! Get out of the way!"

Suddenly Yexue screamed, and then she suddenly pulled Thisteen aside.

In the light of the calcium carbide flame, one saw short arrows shot out from the cabinet behind the vase, flying straight towards the heads of the two of them.

Ye Xue let out a scream, pulled out the dagger for self-defense from his waist in a panic, and swung it in front of the two of them.

Thirteen reacted quickly, he pulled out his saber, and with a few swift moves, he slashed all the hidden weapons to the ground.

Seeing that the danger was lifted, Yexue breathed a sigh of relief, and before he knew it, his forehead was covered with cold sweat.

Although her kung fu is not bad, it can be regarded as initial success, but facing such a tense and dangerous situation with such real swords and guns, she still panics in her heart.

"What a neat skill. It's thanks to you, otherwise, I'm afraid I've become a hornet's nest now!"

"Thank you. Your reaction is not slow."

Thirteen raised the corners of her lips very lightly.Yexue is a good seed this time. It happened so suddenly just now, and she was able to react so quickly, and was able to hold him in time, which is not easy.

"It seems that this vase is just a cover-up, and it's just something used to deal with foreign intruders. The second lady is really not simple, but she can come up with such a method..."

As he was talking, Yexue paused for a moment as if he had thought of something.

"what happened?"

Sensing the strangeness of the people around him, Shisan also stopped searching and turned to look at her.

"Do you think that the handle of the cabinet is a bit strange?"

In this dim room, Yexue's eyes were like owls, emitting a strange brilliance.

The cabinet had already been pierced with dozens of holes by sharp arrows, and it was dilapidated.

It's just that the crystal handle on it is still good.

With the experience just now, Thirteen became more careful this time. He approached the cabinet step by step, until he reached the crystal handle, and then stopped.

Seeing that there was no hidden weapon buried here, Shisan waved for Yexue to follow.

Yexue's eyesight is astonishing, even a small difference can be discerned.

Just a few meters away, she has already seen that the two handles seem to be somewhat different.

There is nothing of value in the whole room, with the exception of these two crystal handles.

Moreover, there are two patterns of crape myrtle flowers embedded in the crystal, but at this time, one flower is facing upwards and the other leaf is facing upwards. This has obviously been touched by someone!

This time, before Yexue reminded, Thirteen had already discovered the mystery.

"Come behind me, in case of any accident, run out quickly."

Shisan's voice sounded very calm, he only told Yexue to be careful, and he wasn't worried about his safety at all.

"It's okay, the big deal is death, so why not be afraid."

Ye Xue also said in a cold voice, the magnanimity in the words made Shisan couldn't help but take another look.

After a little hesitation, Thirteen frowned, concentrated his mind, and stretched out his hand to hold the handle with his whole body on guard.

Following his movements, the handle turned bit by bit, and the cabinet also turned slowly, and after a while, a large gap was exposed.

"It's here, the second lady's secret passage!"

After going through all kinds of hardships, he finally succeeded in finding the secret path, and Yexue's words carried some excitement.

"Come on, let's go and inform the princess now."

"No. I don't know when the second lady will wake up, and those servants don't know if they will come here. We have to find the token and get out quickly, and we must not let the princess be exposed in front of others!"

While talking, Thirteen has already taken the lead and entered the secret passage hidden behind the cabinet.

Hearing what he said, Yexue felt that it made sense, so he followed him into the secret passage.

"Wang Yurou must be hiding here at the moment. If she sees you, she will definitely become suspicious. In this case, you should guard the door first and let me know if there is any movement."

As long as Wang Yurou is a weak woman with no strength to restrain a chicken, he can still deal with it.

"Okay, then be careful alone."

Thirteen nodded slightly, then walked deep into the secret passage.

Along the way, Thirteen felt strange in his heart.This secret path is so tortuous, and the mechanism outside is so carefully arranged, what did the second lady hide with it, so that she took such painstaking efforts.

After searching for a long time, Thirteen finally found a secret room. The secret room was damp and dark, and from time to time there were one or two squeaking rats.

This place looks like a room for storing sundries, there is no decoration, only a lot of boxes are placed on the ground.

Thirteen used his saber to pick off the locks on the boxes one by one, and then opened them for a look.

"This is……"

The scene in front of him, Rao Shisan, who usually kept calm, almost dropped his jaw at this moment.

These dozens of boxes contained nothing but real gold and silver, and looking at the logos on them, they were all official silver.

Only the last box contained not gold and silver, but some rare jewelry. Among those bright and dazzling objects, the emerald green jade flute seemed a bit dull, and Thirteen saw it at a glance.

After thinking about it again and again, Shisan still closed the boxes exactly, and only took out Wang Yuetong's jade flute.

After leaving this secret room, Shisan raised his head and looked at the secret passage in front, and he was sure that there was not only such a secret room here.

It's just that there isn't much time right now, so I really can't stay too long.If you want to find out what secrets are hidden in this secret passage, you have to think long-term.

Thinking of this, Shisan put away the jade flute, and walked out of the secret passage like the wind blowing under his feet.

"Did you find something?"

"found it."

Thirteen took out the jade flute from his pocket and handed it to her.Now that it's late at night, it's more appropriate for Yexue to hand over this thing to Wang Yuetong.

After Yexue took it, he ran to report to Wang Yuetong.

At this time, Wang Yuetong was in the second lady's courtyard.

She wanted to take this opportunity to find the antidote to the strange poison, but she searched around, but found nothing.

"Princess, I have searched for everything, and there is nothing suspicious."

Yingyue has searched up and down the second lady's bedroom just now, but the search is fruitless.

"Forget it, we are looking for it like headless chickens. It is like looking for a needle in a haystack. It is normal to not find it. Or maybe, the second lady has no antidote to this poison..."

Wang Yuetong admitted it, but Yingyue still didn't give up, so she went to another side room to have a look.
