Ye Jinghan refused without thinking, "No, it's already too risky to go out once. The Empress will definitely be suspicious if we go out again."
"It doesn't matter whether I go or not, she has already suspected my identity, hasn't she?"
"That won't work either."
"Then tell me, what should I do with Xiao Xuanxuan and your two men? Let the empress kill them at will?"ωωw..net
Gu Chunuan looked into Ye Jinghan's eyes and said seriously, "Then what do you think we should do?"
"What did you find out just now?"
"The real empress was found in the royal secret passage, and she was killed by the false empress."
"that's all?"
"Then what else do you want?"
Ye Jinghan's slender hands gently clasped the table.
Expose her as a fake empress?
This takes too long and is too risky.
Use the Pangu ax to tear open the rift in space and go to Yeyu Continent to bring reinforcements?
Not to mention that the Pangu Ax was not on them, even if it was on them, the journey would be long and time-consuming.
Going head-to-head with the empress?
Mu Nuan's cultivation is not enough. He has recovered all his skills, but his legs have not recovered. The Empress has many masters, and their strength is unpredictable. It will not do them any good to fight hard.
"Okay. But the overnight visit won't work. Let's do it in half an hour."
"Half an hour later?"
Gu Chunuan swept outside.
Now that it's dawn and the guards outside are even tighter, how can we look past so many eyes?
Moreover, she was not here last night. If she leaves now, wouldn't it make people even more suspicious?
Before Gu Chunuan could come to his senses, Ye Jinghan had already spoken and loudly shouted to the guards outside, "Go and inform the empress that I want to see her."
The people outside were stunned for a moment, and then quickly bowed to report to the empress.
Ye Jinghan said, "I'll hold the empress back. You go back quickly and you must find the whereabouts of Xiao Yuxuan and Qingfeng Xuexue."
"Aren't you afraid that the empress will do something to you?" Gu Chunuan blinked at him ambiguously.
Ye Jinghan sneered, "Does she deserve it?"
"Well, she is indeed not worthy. She is only worthy of locking your limbs with thousand-year iron chains and trapping you in bed to watch you wantonly."
These words were very frivolous and sarcastic, but there was no funny expression in Gu Chunuan's eyes at all. Instead, he was preoccupied and listless.
Gu Chunuan was filled with a faint layer of sadness, and the night scene was so cold that his angry words stopped.
What else did she see or know in the secret passage?
What can make her feel so heavy is probably not a trivial matter, right?
Ye Jinghan wanted to see the empress, and the empress readily agreed. She didn't even go to the morning court and directly summoned Ye Jinghan.
Ye Jinghan found a reason and asked Gu Chunuan to go to the Royal Pharmacy to prepare him some kind of rare medicine to improve his health.
Gu Chunuan arrived at the Royal Pharmacy and lied that it would take two hours to prepare the precious medicine. No one was allowed to disturb her during these two hours, lest she mix the wrong medicine and harm Ye Jinghan.
Then she used her dexterous Qinggong skills to slip out again.
It's really difficult to avoid those eyes during the day.
Fortunately, she didn't know who was secretly helping her to avert those eyes for her, and Gu Chunuan came to the small room not far from the imperial study room without any danger.
She skillfully opened the secret door and entered the secret passage.
Just like last time, there is a fork in the road every few steps.
With her amazing memory, she came to the place where the true empress was imprisoned.
The place is empty. The body of the true empress has disappeared at some point, leaving only a thousand-year-old iron chain.
Gu Chunuan suddenly had an unknown premonition in his heart.
The body of the true empress disappeared, so was her secret passage discovered?
Regardless of whether he was discovered or not, Gu Chunuan could only bite the bullet and move forward.
She knew very well that the impostor should have noticed that her identity was unusual, but she still did not kill her.
prove……
There is something in her body that the impostor wants.
After walking a few more side roads, Gu Chunuan's head shook a few times and he felt dizzy.
Such a familiar smell?
It seems like... it's that person's soul...?
Gu Chunuan didn't know whether to be happy or worried?
She was looking for Xiao Yuxuan, but she unexpectedly sensed the breath of the soul.
The soul was very weak, and there were many forks here. Gu Chunuan could only sense the direction of the soul with his heart, and carefully searched for it, hoping to find Xiao Yuxuan there.
Walking and walking for who knows how long, she still couldn't see the soul, but she could feel that it was right in front of her.
"Damn, what the hell, why is this tunnel so big?"
Gu Chunuan seriously doubted that the ground above was a royal palace.
There is also a royal palace on the ground.
The entire underground of the palace must have been dug, otherwise why would we have walked here for so long and still not been able to reach the end.
Because I walked too far and took a detour, even if I marked it, it would be difficult to go back to the entrance again.
She only has two hours.
At least more than an hour has passed now.
Time is too tight.
She could only give up.
But she was unwilling to do so.
After passing another fork in the road, the view in front of me became wider.
Gu Chunuan was shocked by the scene in front of him.
There are at least thousands of square meters here, and there is a circular silver pool hundreds of square meters in the middle.
The silver pool is filled with mercury, and the mercury is like ocean waves, surging wave after wave, as if it is about to jump out of the mercury pool and soar in all directions.
The four walls of the silver pool are engraved with various opals, luminous pearls, pearl agate, etc.
No matter which one it is, it is priceless.
This place is underground, dark and dark, but due to the illumination of some gems, the entire underground palace is as bright as day.
The soul on his forehead flickered, as if summoning the soul in the silver pool.
It's a pity that that soul is bound by something, and no matter how hard it wants to return to her body, it can't go back.
Gu Chunuan can be sure.
Underneath the silver pool, there is definitely a trace of Gu Chunuan's soul.
The mercury was poisonous, and she didn't know how many meters deep it was. She didn't dare to act rashly, so she could only continue moving forward in order to find Xiao Yuxuan's whereabouts in the shortest possible time.
After walking some distance, she vaguely heard some sounds.
Gu Chunuan tiptoed over, and in the dim light, she saw a familiar figure from behind.
Gu Chunuan shivered violently, not even daring to take a breath and hid quickly.
It's that fake empress.
Isn't she meeting Ye Jinghan?
How come it appears here?
Did Ye Jinghan not hold her back?
No……
With Ye Jinghan's ability, it was impossible for her to delay even two hours.
unless……
The Ye Jinghan whom Jin meets is a substitute for the fake empress.
"How are you, are you ready? Today you are going to become one with me, hehehe..."
"Tyrant, don't even think about it."
Breeze...
It's the sound of the breeze.
Qingfeng is here, so is Xiao Yuxuan also here?
Gu Chunuan secretly looked forward.
To her delight, there were three people sitting next to the fake empress.
