Grandma Wang smiled proudly. The task was completed and she could go back to resume her life.

On the other side, the poisonous snake in the main hall of the Cold Palace lingered on the two palace ladies' clothes for a long time, and then gradually dispersed. The poisonous snake that banged its head against the wall finally gave up, crawled out of the Cold Palace and disappeared.

If it weren't for the piles of severed limbs of venomous snakes on the ground, the ropes hanging from the beams, and the few linen bags on the ground, it would have been as if these venomous snakes had never appeared.

Behind the wall where the poisonous snake hit its head, two girls who had taken off their palace maid coats were holding wooden sticks in their hands to deal with the poisonous snake.

At the critical moment just now, Wang Miaoyan thought they were going to die in the cold palace, but unexpectedly, for some reason, the wall behind the wardrobe suddenly cracked and a secret door opened. The two of them rushed in without even thinking.

The secret door quickly closed, but the poisonous snake still followed them and entered through the secret door.

With great difficulty, the two finally killed the poisonous snake that followed.

Wang Miaoyan panted and said, "Thank God, there really is no perfect way."

"I thought I was going to die." She said happily.

However, Su Wu Nian remained calm as usual. He didn't seem too surprised, nor did he feel happy about the aftermath of the disaster.

On the contrary, with the light of the luminous pearl, Wang Miaoyan found that her gaze fell on the half-person-high clay pot in the center of the secret room, with a solemn look on her face.

"cousin?"

"What’s wrong with you?"

Su Wu Nian turned around calmly, "Are you okay?"

Wang Miaoyan had a sudden illusion that Su Wu Nian was taller than her, as if Su Wu Nian was her sister.

"I'm fine."

"Where is this place?" Wang Miaoyan dropped the wooden stick in her hand, and driven by curiosity, she walked towards the clay pot in the center of the secret room.

"This is obviously a cold palace, why is there a secret room? Moreover, there is no window for lighting in this secret room, so luminous pearls are used for lighting."

"Could it be used to imprison someone?" After all, there is no window, so it is difficult for the sounds inside to be heard.

"The person who built this secret room must be a very powerful person in the palace, and the identity of the person being imprisoned must not be simple, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to use night pearls to illuminate it."

"One, two, three..." Wang Miaoyan raised her fingers to count the luminous pearls inlaid on the wall.

"Oh my god, at least five hundred. No wonder it's like daylight here."

How could she not be curious as she was so weird? As she spoke, she had already walked to the clay pot, "Cousin, what do you think is inside?"

Su Wu Nian's lips parted slightly, "I advise you not to be curious about what's inside."

"Don't open it either."

Wang Miaoyan pointed to the pottery jar, "Could there be a corpse in this?"

"According to my observation, no one has been to this secret room for a long time." After all, the dust on the ground could leave their footprints.

"Even if it's a corpse, it should have turned into a pile of bones long ago. There's nothing scary about it."

When I put my hand on the lid, I found a round hole in the center of the lid, about the size of a human head.

Wang Miaoyan frowned slightly, feeling strange. But he couldn't resist his curiosity and opened the lid.

Su Wu Nian closed his eyes slightly and covered his nose with his hands.

A stench rushed towards him, almost making Wang Miaoyan choke and faint, "What is it? It's so smelly!"

She covered her nose and looked into the pottery jar, only to see half a jar of dark liquid.

"Corpse water plus a hundred miles of gold." Su Wu said in a voice that was as cold as a bone.

"A hundred miles of gold? What is it?" Although Wang Miaoyan has read many strange ancient books, he has never heard of this name.

How come a name that is obviously very valuable can stink so much? It smells worse than excrement.

Su Wu Nian's aura-filled eyes darkened, as if he was remembering something from the past, and her delicate red lips slightly opened, "A hundred miles of gold is a relatively obscure secret treasure in a deep palace or the back house of a powerful person."

"Baby? Such a dark thing is actually a treasure? What's the magic use of it?"

"Could it be possible to stay young forever? Or eating it can lead to immortality?" Wang Miaoyan guessed.

Su Wu Nian sneered, "Even though its name is Baili Gold, this thing is extremely vicious."

"Literati and poets, who claim to be noble, often compare gold to dung."

"A hundred miles of gold is all kinds of animal excrement that can stink hundreds of miles away. There are many blood-eating insects in the excrement that can burrow into the human body, constantly gnawing at human flesh and blood, causing pain to the bones."

"When the human body is warm, they will lay eggs in the human body, continue to multiply, and finally establish a symbiotic relationship with that person."

"I won't let that person die, but I will continue to torture that person and make that person's life worse than death."

"And this jar is the cage that locks that person inside."

Wang Miaoyan also came from a wealthy family. He had heard of many dirty tricks in the back house, but he had never heard of such a vicious and vicious method. Just hearing about it made people's backs tingle.

"No wonder, there is a hole the size of a human head on the lid."

"Who is it? Using such vicious methods, he hid the trapped people in this secret room and tortured them."

Su Wu Nian curled his lips coldly and said nothing.

"But this pottery jar is only half a person's height, and a normal person cannot fit it in. Could it be that the person being tortured is a child?" Wang Miaoyan asked again.

"No, the ones that were put in were all human pigs with all their limbs broken off."

When Wang Miaoyan heard this, his stomach turned violently, and he couldn't stop feeling nauseated and vomited. He quickly closed the lid, fearing that a monster without limbs would suddenly crawl out of the black stinking liquid.

I was even more annoyed in my heart as to why I was curious enough to open the lid.

Looking at Su Wu Nian again, she had a gloomy face and no other reaction.

"Why do you even know all this?" When she asked this question, Wang Miaoyan felt more sorry for her cousin. Perhaps because her living environment was too harsh since she was a child, she is more mature and understands these secret things in the back house.

"Before entering the palace, I learned a little more about it." Su Wu Nian replied calmly.

"You said there was corpse water in this tank? How did you know?" Would the smell of Baili Gold be different if there was corpse water?

Su Wu Nian curled her lips coldly, "I guess."

In fact, it was because she had smelled the stench of corpses and could naturally tell the difference.

"Who secretly built this secret room? Who was tortured in the pottery jar before?" Wang Miaoyan asked doubtfully.

"In the palace, never be curious, let alone know too much."

"We accidentally broke in here today, and maybe one day in the future, we will be killed."

"If we can get out safely, we'd better keep silent about everything in this secret room."

"You might live longer by pretending to be deaf."

"My cousin is right. The less you know, the better. It has nothing to do with us anyway."

Wang Miaoyan looked around, and saw that the secret door he had just entered had been integrated into the wall, and the wall was extremely hard, and there was no mechanism to open the door.

"But how should we get out now?"

"Separately and look for it. We still have the smell of snake incense. If we find a way to get out, we can't get out immediately."

"If the poisonous snake is still outside, it will be dangerous for us to go out."
