Chapter 163 Breathing Sound

The anger in Yin He's heart did not subside when she heard the words, but she never opened her mouth, not because she was afraid that A Rong would not contradict him, but because she really didn't want to talk to him and was too lazy to explain nonsense to him.

However, with her attitude like this, instead of getting angry, Ah Rong turned his head to look at the back of Su Ruiran leaving, and the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually disappeared.For some reason, a trace of loneliness flashed across his pitch-black star-like eyes, before others could notice it, it was fleeting.

Su Ruiran has been walking into the courtyard at a constant pace. Although she has been listening to the movement around her very carefully and feeling any slight changes in her surroundings, she has intentionally restrained her emotions so as not to let her sense of panic show. Pay a dime.

With a glance in the courtyard, one can see a palace that is about the same size as Nangong Ling's bedroom.Anyone with a discerning eye will know that they should go here at a glance, because apart from this, there are no other very obvious buildings in the courtyard. A row of simple wooden houses beside the courtyard wall are obviously the residence of the servants.

Although this place is likely to be a kind of blindfold, Su Ruiran quickly dispelled this suspicion. After all, Nangong Ling has to wait for his status, so how could he succumb to the position of a servant.

So what's the secret in this courtyard?

Su Ruiran pretended to look around casually, walking towards the palace without stopping.It's just that compared with just now, her pace seems to have slowed down a bit on purpose.It's just that there is no one else around, so no one points this out either.

Su Ruiran's gaze has been wandering around the palace, but she has not found anything else. Gradually, without her knowing it, she has come a little closer to the palace.

When she was still three feet away from the palace, she suddenly became alert and stopped in her tracks.

She frowned, and held her breath for a while because she was too nervous.Just now she clearly heard human voices in her ears, that kind of very imperceptible breathing sound, with steady ups and downs, and it can be judged that the owner of this breathing sound is calm and calm at the moment.

A bad premonition suddenly rose in Su Ruiran's heart, and she couldn't help but look around, feeling that there seemed to be a pair of eyes secretly watching her.

She subconsciously thought it was A Rong, and immediately looked back. She had just passed the courtyard not long ago and hadn't walked too far. When she turned her head, she could still see A Rong and Yin He standing at the door. At this moment, the two were also staring at her motionlessly. .

what happened?How could this be?Did you just hear...

Su Ruiran kept guessing in her heart, but she quickly made a judgment.

No, not Ah Rong, nor Yin He.The sound I heard just now was not that far away, and it didn't come from this direction, it came from...

Su Ruiran suddenly felt a chill in her back, and when she turned her head, she saw the cold vermilion lacquered wooden door of the palace standing quietly in front of her.

And at this moment, the breathing sound heard just now sounded again, and this time, the interval between each breath was also lengthened. Obviously, the people inside were also aware of the existence of the people outside, and at this moment they were also aware of the existence of the people outside. I am holding my breath to test it.

Could it be that Nangong Ling is really here?This idea popped up in her mind, but for a moment she felt that she couldn't convince herself.

If Nangong Lingzhen was inside, then what Arong said earlier was just a bluff?Even if there is that so-called "deal" here, Su Ruiran doesn't absolutely believe that A Rong will let her meet Nangong Ling so smoothly.What's more, before entering this place, Ah Rong actually said such a thing, which makes people even more suspicious.

The sound of breathing in the room became weaker and weaker, and in the end there was an elusive smell.Su Ruiran couldn't help but be a little surprised, but one thing is certain is that the people in the room have already noticed themselves outside, so they are controlling their breathing and listening to the movement outside very carefully.

Thinking of this, Su Ruiran stood there for a while, as if frozen, motionless.Although she was very nervous, she still forced herself to breathe slowly, but she couldn't do anything like the person in the room to reduce the chance of breathing to zero.

There was still no movement in the room, Su Ruiran hesitated at the door for a long time, and finally felt that it was not an option to just waste it like this.

What's more, from the fact that the people in the room did not act rashly, it can be seen that the people in the room may also have speculations about their own situation, so they are not in a hurry to act.

Thinking of this, Su Ruiran slowly raised her head and supported the vermilion paint on the door.

He hesitated a little before pushing the door open, and warned himself one last time in his heart.Everything before was just my guess, and I would only know what the situation inside was after I opened the door.

Thinking of this, she took a deep breath and made up her mind again. With another effort, she pushed the closed wooden door open with a "creak".

There was silence inside the door, which made Su Ruiran feel a little uneasy.

She stopped outside the door for a while, but did not see any movement inside, and the furnishings inside the door were also very ordinary, just some ordinary tables, chairs and antique flower pots, there was nothing unusual about what she saw.Of course, because she didn't enter, what she saw was only a small part of the door.

After a while, she finally took a step, walked forward in small steps, and slowly entered the door.

The light in the room is much darker than the outside, and the quiet atmosphere adds a bit of weirdness and tension.

Su Ruiran looked around vigilantly, but still didn't stop, walking towards the house.

If she hadn't noticed that the tables and chairs in the room were very clean, as if they were cleaned every day, she would even wonder if this room was uninhabited.

This palace is also divided into two layers, inside and outside. She walked to the center of the outer hall and stopped. Standing at this angle, she could see almost everything in the palace, but there was still no one in the palace.

Su Ruiran couldn't help feeling a little doubt in her heart, could it be that she fell into A Rong's trap again?

She suddenly raised her vigilance and held her breath to listen to the surrounding sounds, but this time she could no longer hear the breathing sound that she could hear before.

What exactly is going on……

With the development of the matter so far, Su Ruiran inevitably became more and more suspicious, and became extra cautious in her actions.

She stayed in the outer hall like this for quite a while, but there was still nothing unusual around her. Su Ruiran's eyes immediately fell to the screen on the left side of the outer hall, behind the round table of the Eight Immortals.According to common sense, behind this screen should be the road leading to the inner room.If Ah Rong hadn't lied, then Nangong Ling should be here.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but take a step towards the screen.

The painting on the screen is the predation of goshawks. The overall background color of the canvas is white, which looks very thin, but when you look closely, it is not transparent, and even the shadow behind the screen cannot be seen at all, which makes people feel completely lost. Can't see what's going on behind the screen.

If there was someone hiding behind the screen at this moment, he would definitely not be able to detect it.

Su Ruiran bit her lips lightly, feeling a little nervous, but she was still vigilant and went behind the screen.Unknowingly, he slowly grasped the dagger hidden in his sleeve, and also used this to deal with sudden things.

Although Ah Rong said that Nangong Ling was here, there was no guarantee that nothing else would happen.

After all, she could only half believe what A Rong said.

She held her breath and approached a little bit, and slowly walked around the screen, and the scene behind the screen began to appear in her eyes little by little.However, when she fully saw the scene behind the screen, she couldn't help being surprised.

How... how could this be?
Unbelievable surprise appeared on her face. She originally thought that behind the screen was the road leading to the inner room, but when she actually walked around the screen, she found that behind the screen was a sealed wall, without a half point at all. road" at all.

This is how it happened?
Such doubts flashed in her heart again, but no one could give her an answer.

Su Ruiran frowned, and couldn't help walking towards that wall.She took a closer look, but still didn't find anything unusual about the wall, so she couldn't help but stretched out her hand and stroked the wall lightly.There is nothing unusual about the delicate texture touched by the fingertips, and the cold and hard feeling.

She couldn't help tapping the wall with her hands again, and listened carefully to the sound from the wall.

"Deng, thump, thump..." Every time she knocked, her voice was very dull, and it didn't seem to be hollow, which inevitably made her feel even more puzzled, and didn't understand what was going on.

She couldn't help turning her head, and couldn't help but look around.But at this moment, she suddenly discovered that there was another peculiarity about this screen.

Just now when she was looking in from the outside, there was no light or shadow inside, but now she has changed, looking out from the screen, the canvas on the screen is as transparent as it is, presenting all the scenes outside.

In this way, if you sit inside the screen, you can be in the dark, but observe the enemy and the light.

After all, Su Ruiran was also born in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and she has seen many good and novel things since she was a child, but this is the first time she has seen such a strange screen. I am afraid that such things will not exist in the palace, but it is true. Eye-opening.

However, while sighing, she couldn't help but guess in her heart, since this small screen can cost so much, it is enough to prove that this screen is not placed here randomly, so there must be something behind this screen.

After making such a conclusion, she couldn't help but turn her head to look at the wall that she had knocked on just now.

Although she observed it more carefully this time, she still didn't find anything unusual.

Looking around, there is no other place to hide in this room.And thinking of the voice she heard at the door just now, she was very sure that there must be someone in the room before she came in.

Then the only possibility is that there must be some other mechanism hidden in a place that I don't know.

She thought about it carefully, before she came in, she had secretly observed the situation around the courtyard.Based on the size of the palace I saw just now, it would be a bit wrong to say that there is only such an outer hall and no inner room. It seems that the actual size of the palace is much larger than the size of the room I am in at the moment.

Realizing this, Su Ruiran immediately became more certain that there must be some secret passage in this room.
