Warm Emperor's Favorite: Abandoned Concubine

Chapter 516 Guessing the Story of the Master in the Painting

Feng Qi didn't think there were any ghosts. After entering the courtyard, she picked up a lantern to look at it. There was a small glass lamp inside the lantern. The light came from the small lamp, but there was a special principle, that is, every time the lamp oil It can burn for four hours. After four hours, the lamp oil will be extinguished, and after eight hours, some lamp oil will come up again.

Now I just don't know what kind of power the lamp oil uses to come up, and what kind of power is used to ignite the flame?
Xuanyuan Yi took the lantern and looked at it, but he didn't see any tricks. Hua Hudie also picked one, and said, "Will the climate here be particularly hot at a certain time?"

Sanjia, who was looking for the entrance, said: "It's hotter at noon, but the hottest moment is a quarter of an hour before the sun sets. We don't know what's going on."

Huahu nodded repeatedly: "That's right, it uses the principle of thermal expansion and cold contraction. Look at this glazed lamp, which is shaped like a gourd. The center is very thin. When it is hot, the oil will rise, and when it is cold, the oil will fall. The oil on the top will not flow down because of this thin bottleneck."

"What started the fire?" Feng Qi asked.

Hua Hudie shook his head: "I don't know."

Feng Qi laughed loudly: "Hahaha... so you don't know either."

Hua Hudie hung the lantern back, and seemed to see a pair of eyes looking at him under the eaves in a trance, but after a closer look, they disappeared.

"Come here!" Sanjia shouted from the other side.

When everyone walked over, Sanjia had already removed the wooden board that sealed the door, and when the door was pushed open, a lot of dust fell from it, Feng Qi had expected it a long time ago, so she didn't follow closely.

"Squeak..." A group of bats were startled and flew out.

Huahu patted his forehead, maybe the eyes he saw just now were slightly bigger bat eyes.

Sanjia took out a torch to light it, Feng Qi threw him a few big torches: "Use this!"

"What is this?" Sanjia couldn't figure out how to use the torch.

Feng Qi twisted one: "Use it this way, save it, there are not many big ones." A large torch illuminated the house, Feng Qi felt that it was a waste to use a medium-sized one.

"Wow... good stuff." Sanjia exclaimed happily.

Feng Qi touched her nose, another person who has never seen the world.

The things in the house are not messy, unlike the welcoming pine hanging on the wall opposite the main entrance, there is a picture of a beautiful woman hanging here.

The woman in the picture is wearing a red dress, with willow-leaf-browed eyebrows and a small mouth, but... no eyes!
She was holding a lantern in her hand, and a fetus was printed on the wall of the lantern, which was rather hazy but one could tell what it was at a glance.

Feng Qi's heart skipped a beat, couldn't it be that there was a man who started chaotically and ended up abandoning him?

Although the woman in this painting is wearing a red dress, it is not a wedding dress. The only thing is that she has no eyeballs on her face. Does this mean that she has no eyes?

Feng Qi analyzed a lot in a short while, and Hua Hudie also made a lot of calculations in his mind, roughly the same as what Feng Qi thought.

Sanjia detoured around the back hall, he was looking for the entrance to the tunnel.

Feng Qi cleaned up the portrait, took it off, and rolled it up. When it was being rolled, the plug of the scroll fell off, and a key fell out of it.

A pure gold key with the words "Underground Palace" written on it.

"Underground Palace?" Xuanyuan Yi played with the key, the corner of his mouth curled up: "Maybe there is a long story here!"

Feng Qi nodded: "Try to find books and paper with words, maybe we can dig out this story!"

Seeing the baby, Feng Qi felt inexplicably blocked, maybe she was feeling sorry for the child in the previous life.

The crowd dispersed and concentrated on looking for a piece of paper with words for Feng Qi, forgetting about the secret way.

Sanjia is still sighing in his heart, these people are really serious in their work, and they don't even let go of corners.If he knew the real purpose of these people, he might vomit three liters of blood.

Hua Hudie found some letters and showed them to Feng Qi.

Feng Qi arranged them according to the time on the envelopes, and then opened the first envelope.

This is a letter to report safety. The man wrote it to his wife. The general idea is that the construction project is very stable, but it is a bit tiring. He hopes that his wife can rest assured to raise the baby.

The second letter stated that it was not a report of safety, but some trivial matters. It mentioned that some weird things were dug out when digging the ditch, but unfortunately the officials did not allow it to be mentioned.

In the third letter, it can be seen that the man's tone was irritable, and he only wrote a few words, "I am still alive, I hope my wife and children are safe, and there are more and more strange things!".

In the fourth letter, there were bloodstains in it. There was no guarantee of safety, and only three words were written: "Monster... escape!".

These four letters can make people think of one thing. The man led the craftsman to work, and finally dug up the monster. The officials refused to let it out for fear of causing panic, but in the end the people here were still eaten or killed by the monster. .

I don't know what will happen to this woman, but unfortunately there is no reply letter from the woman to read.

Xuanyuan Yi found several paintings from the inner room, all of them are of the same woman, but the clothes are different, most plain colors, none of them are red.

In one of them, it can be seen that the woman has a big belly, as if she is about to give birth, but she has a sad face.

There is a name on the painting, Zhang Susu, this must be the woman's name.

"Have you found the tunnel door?" Sanjia asked.

Everyone shook their heads, because no one was looking for it.

"It's really strange. The map clearly shows that there is a passage under this house. Why isn't there?" Sanjia couldn't figure it out.

Feng Qi took out the silk handkerchief and spread it out, re-twisted the route, and said: "You guessed wrong, this tunnel does pass through here, but there is no opening, it can be said that the tunnel is under this house, but the entrance is not here! "

"Oh, where should it be?" Sanjia scratched his head.

Feng Qi looked at it and said: "Here, go out from here and turn left, five yards away, in the backyard of this yard, I think this symbol should be a dry well.

The entrance must be a dry well. If it is not the only entrance, then there are several other ones. It seems that they are all wells. "Feng Qi points out a few wells on the map.

Sanjia stroked his chin: "The house over there seems to be the residence of the chief supervisor, go and have a look!"

Feng Qi got up, and the chair under her made a creaking sound, although it was faint, it did not escape her ears.

She squatted down and stretched out her hand to touch it. It turned out that there was something stuck under the chair, and the place where it was pasted was cracked, so it made a noise.

I took out a package with my hand, and after opening it, there were some soft clothes, a few clothes, and a letter.

Feng Qi opened the letter and looked at it, and said: "This woman's husband wrote to her, telling her that someone was following her beauty, and asked her to leave here to avoid it. Maybe she was caught by someone when she was about to escape. She I had to hide the soft stuff, but I couldn’t get it again.”

Hua Hudie's eyes lit up, and he said, "Could it be like this?"
