Your Majesty - This Palace is from modern times

Chapter 7

At the critical moment, Shan Mu learned to calm down, approached slowly, and quickly backed away, turning her head to An Xin in surprise, "Master... there seem to be stairs underneath!"

An Xin took their only public property - a kerosene lamp, slowly groped the smooth stone wall, and walked down.

She didn't know that there would be a secret passage in a cold palace, and she didn't know where the secret passage led to. She and Shan Mu walked carefully, trembling at every step, for fear that they would only be greeted by a stone wall at the end.

But at the same time, there is a little bit of hope, what if it goes on like this, is it a piece of outside air?
The secret passage is very narrow, and it can only accommodate one person to walk around. An Xin walked in front, holding on to the fir tree tightly, and the small oil lamp struggled to emit light.

Arrived.The lowest part of the tunnel suddenly opened up. Judging from her many years of archaeological experience, this should be a temporary underground palace built by ancient kings.

An Xin groped around the wall for a while, found the stove, and lit it up quickly.

When the fire slowly rose, she was shocked by the sight in front of her.

There are countless exquisite totems painted on the smooth stone walls, especially on one of the stone walls, there is a beautiful woman engraved on it.The beautiful woman's face is like a peach blossom, and her posture is dignified. From An Xin's point of view, this woman has kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and looks very comfortable!

"Niang Niang!" When Shan Mu saw the portrait, he knelt down with a plop. "Princess...it turns out that the empress was imprisoned here before!" After she finished speaking, she couldn't help crying!
An Xin turned from her approval to shock, she never thought that the beauty on the stone wall was actually Mu Ya's mother!At that moment, her body seemed to be a little out of control, she slowly approached the mural, and stretched out her hand to carefully outline the painting.

Suddenly, she noticed that there was an altar under the portrait. Although there were some sacrifices on the altar, it seemed that no one had cleaned it for a long time, and it was covered with thick dust.

The appearance of a sandalwood box seemed out of place with the scene in front of him.

Such an exquisite box was randomly placed on the altar?
Open the lid of the box with peace of mind, and stretch your head to look inside.

"What is this?" She took out a hand-sized crystal carving from it, which looked like a beast, and looked quite majestic.

"It seems to be a brand!" Shan Mu replied.

Oh my god!She also knows that it is a fast brand!But she wants to know what this brand is for?For decoration, or to ward off evil spirits, or what to do!
The carvings are exquisite, the patterns are meticulous, and the details are handled quite perfectly. You can put on an archaeological posture with peace of mind, and analyze them one by one.

If the guess is correct, this thing must be very noble!It should be no ordinary decoration!How could His Majesty Yuezhi throw such a precious thing casually?
An Xin found a roll of yellow cloth under the box, and quickly took it out to open it.

Dear Yale:

If my guess is correct, by the time you see this letter, the Yue family has already been taken over by villains, don't be afraid, Ya'er...

It turned out that Mu Ya's mother was the emperor's favorite woman!It can be seen from that painting!It is impossible for ordinary painters to capture the most beautiful moment of a person in a short time!
And Mu Ya is also the emperor's favorite daughter. Unfortunately, at that time, the emperor was in bed for a long time, and the power was held by villains. In order to confuse others, the emperor kept ignoring him all the time. Leng Gong.The purpose is to hope that Mu Ya can discover the secret under the bed.

Under the dim candlelight, the rows of bright handwriting made the corners of An Xin's eyes warm.Suddenly, a tear fell uncontrollably on the scroll in her hand.

An Xin is sure that this tear is definitely not hers.

Shan Mu cried miserably after watching it.While sobbing, she stuttered and spoke: "The princess has always been recognized by His Majesty..."

An Xin doesn't care too much about the blood of the shell, what she cares most about now is the brand in her hand.

"It turns out that this clear water beast can command many dead men hidden in various countries." An Xin couldn't help but marvel.

It was clearly written on the yellow silk that whoever holds the "Clear Water Beast" has the right to order those dead men.

However, it was written above that the token of the clear water beast is not actually Yueshi's property.

"I've only heard one thing. It seems to be a very powerful organization. One is to collect intelligence, and the other is to gather together to deal with the enemy when necessary!" Shan Mu explained hesitantly.

An Xin held onto the 'Clear Water Beast' tightly, her thoughts turned quickly, maybe the old emperor knew that Yue's life was not long, so he used his only power to bring the 'Clear Water Beast' to his own country.Just waiting for future generations to take this and gather the heroes of the world to avenge him!It can also be put another way, the old emperor was afraid that people would bully his woman, so he got a trump card in his hand, so that his daughter could live a peaceful life!

She had a lot of guesses, but unfortunately, no one gave her an answer. There was nothing written on the yellow silk, just telling her the usefulness of this thing!He also warned her that this 'Clear Water Beast' should not be taken out casually unless it is absolutely necessary, otherwise it would definitely lead to death.

Come to think of it, this thing is very attractive!

An Xin quickly put the sign in her arms, and pulled Shan Mu to go back, but she didn't want to, there seemed to be a sound in the wall.

The crisp sound seemed to be only a wall away from them. If you guessed right, it should be the sound of cups colliding.

Could it be that this secret passage is also connected to other places?
An Xin tapped on the wall with anxiety, but it didn't work. She couldn't help feeling a little discouraged, and turned around to tell Shan Mu to go back.

"Master, look, this lamp is really beautiful!" Shan Mu raised her face, loving a silver lamp.

Before An Xin reminded her not to move around, there was a click on the wall, and it opened from the middle.

An Xin's eyebrows followed the opening of the wall, tightly twisted together, this ghost place is really scary, there are secret passages everywhere.There are too many secrets.

Sure enough, this secret passage is still a fucking secret passage, and it looks like it will never end.

"Shanmu, you wait outside, if I don't come out within a time, you go call someone!"

"Master, let me accompany you!"

An Xin looked inside, took Shan Mu's hand and pushed it out: "No, we've been down for so long, if something happens up there, neither of us is there, it will definitely make people suspicious, you go up and watch, I don't worry!"

Shan Mu stepped up and turned his head three times, An Xin took a deep breath and entered the darkness.

After passing through a narrow secret passage, there is still an open place.Lighting up the lights, the underground palace suddenly brightened up a lot, An Xin took a deep breath, raised his hand to wipe his sweat, and made a false alarm.Suddenly, she paused, and her eyes moved from her left side to her right side.

At that moment, she could almost hear her own heartbeat.

There was silence in the dark passage, only the dim light of the oil lamp tirelessly flickering.The light shone on the man impartially, icy cold.

He just sat there quietly, looking at the cup in his hand quietly, as if he had no reaction to her arrival.

Although she knew that he was a living person, An Xin couldn't help worrying, could this person be lethal?
But when she approached, she unconsciously shook her head in her heart.

It turned out to be an old man with a disabled candle.

Under the candlelight, the old man wore a strange black robe without any decorations, and his hair was gray.

"Who are you?" An Xin took another step closer.

The man turned the wine glass with a long and leisurely hand, and turned his head lazily.

The four eyes met, and An Xin almost felt her heart beating following the rotation of the man's fingertips.

Aged skin, gray hair, everything is in line with the image of the old man, but the coldness in the man's eyebrows and eyes, when people look at it, inexplicably, the heart hurts.

An Xin found that she had to lean against the wall to stand firm. What kind of eyes were those?It was as dark as a bottomless sea, as dark as the purest night, as if thousands of years of loneliness had condensed together to gather such eyes.

He sat there quietly, watching her.The whole person merged into the darkness.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" An Xin asked again.

Maybe it's because of my age and the long time I've been locked up here that I might be deaf.

The man really didn't answer, as if she didn't exist, he continued to pick up the cup in front of him, and took a shallow sip.

This is an attitude of disregard for eating fruit.

Her childhood education gave her a good habit, that is, to respect the old and love the young, but behind the good habit, there are also several bad habits hidden.While she respects others, she doesn't want to be ignored.

"Grandpa?" She took another step closer.

"old man?"

"Hey, talk!" An Xin couldn't help raising her voice.

The old man in front of him still didn't speak, and sipped the tea in the cup alone.

Anxin is very angry, well, if you don't talk, we won't force you!My aunt doesn't want to accompany me anymore.

"I'm leaving!"

She turned around and left, and when she reached the entrance, she deliberately turned her head and looked back. I wiped him, but he was still in the same posture.

pull!You are enough!So old, what a fart!

The room was quiet again, and the old man's indifferent eyes suddenly sharpened, looking at the place where An Xin disappeared just now, the darkness in his eyes became more intense.

When An Xin worked so hard to climb up, there was a loud noise outside, no, someone came to mess things up!She quickly pressed the switch and closed the bed.

"Shanmu, you little maid, dare to stop me?"

"Shan Mu didn't dare, it's just that the master slept in it, it's inconvenient!"

The eldest princess waved her hand, and the eunuch who came behind immediately stepped forward, ready to force her way.

The eldest princess looked triumphantly at Shan Mu's powerless appearance, and felt very anxious.

She suffered a loss from here last time, of course she was unwilling, and she couldn't think of any way to make things difficult for a while, so she had to give up.But she is not stupid, that time when she clearly saw that little bitch walking out with a bag, she definitely wanted to run away, so today and night she attacked suddenly, wanting to see if there was any ghost in it.

The situation is a bit tense, Shan Mu's palms are soaked with sweat, and the master is still in the tunnel, what if they go in and find out?Very impatient……
