The person who spoke next was none other than Liu Xiangyun, the concubine of the Liu family who had bumped into the fifth prince and his wife spending a lot of money a few days ago.
She continued: "This competition is not about willingness. If any of us are unwilling to be selected, we can fish in troubled waters. In this way, it can be regarded as an explanation for the family, isn't it?
"
After saying this, several eyes looked at her with thoughtful expressions.
Suddenly, the light in the main hall suddenly dimmed, as if someone used a cover from the outside to cover all the light, and the room was filled with darkness.
Someone quickly ran to the door and tried to open it, but found that the door had been locked from the outside at some point.
"Someone, someone is nailing the windows!" Everyone said in horror.
"What's going on? What's going on? Who is so bold?"
Most of these people were young ladies from official families. When they had seen such a battle, the timid ones would have been frightened to the point of crying.
A few brave ones have already guessed that this is the beginning of the level. Isn't it a test of courage?
Being in a secret room is not just a test of courage, but it is certainly not just that, but what exactly is it a test of?
At this moment, in the garden not far from the back door outside the palace, Hua Yanxi and others had already moved here.
There are fragrant tea and cakes on the table, and the creator is playing chess with Ye Yibai.
Listening to those screams, the emperor frowned: "What kind of level are you talking about? Don't scare people."
Hua Yanxi said calmly: "It's just a small game."
"Games? Then what are those you just ordered to prepare?" The emperor frowned.
"It's just some props and obstacles that confuse the audience. As long as they can come out of the hall smoothly, they will be considered successful. With so many people, there must be a few smart people." Hua Yanxi said as she added
Pushing the chessboard: "No more playing, you always win, it's boring."
Ye Yibai glanced at her: "Then I'll give you a son?"
Hua Yanxi thought for a moment and looked at the restless emperor: "Father, how about you come and play a few games with him."
When the emperor heard that, he stopped listening to those voices and immediately looked at Ye Yibai nervously: "I, am I okay?"
His expression was one of caution, and his toes were clearly pointing this way.
"Okay, but you have to have a good chance. How about one condition per game." Hua Yanxi gestured towards Ye Yibai.
"No problem." The emperor immediately stood up and sat in Hua Yanxi's original position.
Ye Yibai pursed his lips, but said nothing, just playing chess.
The emperor was originally a little distracted, paying attention to the movements in the palace, but now he couldn't care less and was thinking about the chess game.
When you get to the back, you have to think for a while before placing a chess piece.
Ye Yibai glanced at the main hall: "Why don't you explain what is going on."
Hua Yanxi curled her lips and said, "The escape room is very fun."
It's not a good thing to hear.
Ye Yibai frowned: "Will it be easy?"
Hua Yanxi touched her chin: "Probably, it's not really difficult. It's just that you get a little frightened from time to time when looking for the exit."
After saying this, there was another burst of howling ghosts and wolves in the hall not far away.
Xiao Huai was bored waiting on the side and simply said: "How about I go and check the progress for you?"
"Go ahead."
When Xiao Huai heard this, he tiptoed and jumped towards the sky above the hall.
When he opened the tiles and looked down, he saw dozens of people scattered around. Several of them were hugging each other and crying until they were hoarse.
Although a beautiful woman crying is the most heart-warming thing, but crying so that the facial features are tangled is really unattractive.
However, there are also smart people who have guessed that the level is to leave the palace, and are now looking for a way out.
Each room will have some small mechanisms, or two people will suddenly jump out to scare them, followed by another burst of ghostly cries and howls.
Those small mechanisms, or dozens of keys to open a lock, or some objects painted on the door that people dare not touch just by looking at them.
Xiao Huai shook his head: "These women are too stupid."
After watching it for a while, I felt it was boring, so I went back again.
"How do you like it?" Hua Yanxi looked at him with a smile.
Xiao Huai waved his hands repeatedly: "It's too stupid. The level you set is too simple. How can these vulgar fans be worthy of our fifth prince?"
When the emperor, who was thinking hard, heard this, his thoughts paused and he subconsciously looked towards the main hall with an unhappy expression.
Ye Yibai knocked on the chessboard: "How long do you want to think about it?"
The emperor said in a sincere tone: "I haven't played chess for a long time. Think about it and think about it again."
"Father, if we can't figure it out, let's admit defeat and move on to the next round." Hua Yanxi said kindly.
The emperor glared at her: "None of your business!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Hua Yanxi hadn't spoken yet, but Ye Yibai was dissatisfied and said coldly: "You are not good at chess and you still have an arrogant face."
"Then I admit defeat. Let's have another round." The emperor immediately gave up.
Ye Yibai didn't have the patience to deal with Hua Yanxi when he faced him. This chess game was as fierce as it came, but in just an hour, he had already lost five games in a row, and he was so dizzy and dizzy that the dark clouds covered his head.
He began to wonder if his chess skills were really bad, and those who played chess with him were giving in to him.
He was too embarrassed to say anything anymore, so he could only hold on.
Every time he dropped a penny, he glanced in the direction of the main hall, his eyes full of hatred for the iron.
After all, these ladies are also the daughters of courtiers. How can they be so stupid that they can't even get out of a palace? It's so stupid!
Suddenly, Hua Yanxi's eyes moved slightly and she looked at the back door of the hall: "Someone is coming out."
I saw four or five women walking out of the door with support, stumbling along the way, as if someone was chasing them from behind.
Seeing this, the emperor stopped playing chess and stood up quickly. Eunuch Wan who was beside him immediately ordered people to help these ladies over.
Several people came to the imperial court and knelt down to pay their respects.
"Just a few people?" The emperor was slightly disgusted, but still ordered someone to take them down to freshen up.
Later, those who were still trapped in the palace were helped out of the palace by the palace guards, and two timid ones even fainted long ago.
When they arrived in front of the emperor, someone hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, there is something strange in the palace."
No one dares to say that it is haunted, but saying so already indicates that there is something wrong inside.
The emperor looked at Hua Yanxi beside him: "What exactly did you arrange inside?"
Hua Yanxi stepped forward: "To inform you, Father, I just ordered a few palace servants to dress up inside, just to scare them. Since this is a test of courage, naturally the faint of heart cannot accompany the fifth prince.
, you also know that the fifth prince is timid. If he is suddenly woken up in the middle of the night without anyone brave enough to protect him, he will be very scared. "
Ye Yibai's mouth twitched slightly when he heard this.
This woman is addicted to blame-shifting.
They say he loves to cry, that he is timid, and that he is afraid of ghosts.
Could it be that he once had this image in her heart?
