Volume 1 The Newlyweds Chapter 57

Xue Junyou entered the storage hall and saw that there was nothing in the empty hall.

"well."

Xue Junyou sighed softly: "It seems there is nothing left."

"It's not like there's nothing left."

Feiyun walked over slowly, stared at a bare wall, put his hand on it and touched it: "There is something wrong with this wall. It seems that it has been treated in some special way."

After saying that, Feiyun took his hands away from the wall and slowly clenched his fists, preparing to smash the wall into pieces.

"etc!"

When Xue Junyou saw it, he immediately took hold of Feiyun and said, "Your...​​...are you sure it won't attract any guards after you break it?"

"Then what do you think we should do?"

Fei Yun turned to look at him: "This mechanism does not belong to Fei Jue, and I don't know how to trigger it."

"Is it possible that your mother knows something?" Xue Junyou asked aloud.

Feiyun frowned: "Even if mother knows something, I contacted you without telling her. I don't think she will say anything to me."

"Then the trip was in vain."

Xue Junyou put his hand on it, but did not dare to make any unnecessary movements for fear of accidentally touching some mechanism.

"That's all, touching any mechanism is the next best thing. There might be something left by Imperial Concubine Gongsun to the princess. It would be bad if it is damaged."

Xue Jun thought about it over and over, but he still smiled and decided to give up this path for the time being, since the things inside were obviously so close at hand.

But some things cannot be forced.

The two closed the two doors and were about to leave, but they heard footsteps in the secret passage going back.

Feiyun immediately made a silent gesture towards Xue Junyou, and then led him back towards the storage hall.

Taking advantage of the fact that the door that needed the golden dog's blood was not completely closed, the two of them immediately slipped in through the gap, and then used the dragon-shaped jade pendant to reopen the second door.

Feiyun rushed into the storage hall and looked around. There was no place to hide.

"You are asking for death!"

Xue Junyou frowned and took a breath: "How can you hide something so obvious?"

“Don’t we all want to know what’s on the other side of the wall?”

The corner of Feiyun's mouth was slightly raised, as if she had thought of some solution in a hurry: "I just caught a glimpse of the owner of the footsteps. It seemed to be my mother's personal maid Yingluo. There must be some way for my mother to enter here at will."

"Then what are you going to do?"

"You fight her!"

"What? Then I wasn't exposed?" Xue Junyou's face turned dark and he said impatiently.

"My mother also knew that you had the idea of ​​coming in, so it doesn't matter."

Feiyun said, and immediately began to explain the strategy he had remembered to Xue Junyou.

Xue Junyou frowned and listened, thinking that he might be blacklisted by Fei Jue this time.

... ... ...

Yingluo came back on the orders of his wife.

Madam has been in a very confused state of mind recently, and it is difficult to meditate calmly, so she specially asked her to come over and check if anything left by Madam's sister had been stolen.

Walking to the door of Tianzi No. 33, Yingluo was about to pour the golden blood given to her by the madam into the secret trough, but suddenly it stopped.

There were blood stains on the tank, so it had obviously been opened recently.

When Yingluo saw this, she quickly opened the door with the golden blood and walked to the second door, holding her breath.

If nothing else, it was the Ninth Prince Consort who opened the door to this room.

Before she came, Madam had specifically told her that as long as there was no Princess Anyang who entered, she would catch them all.

Thinking in her mind, Yingluo made full preparations and gently placed the dragon-shaped jade pendant given by her wife in the groove of the second room door.

As soon as the door of the room opened, Yingluo saw a masked man standing in front of the darkroom. Judging from his figure, he should not be very old.

"Who!"

Yingluo's eyes suddenly flashed, and she didn't have time to look elsewhere, so she rushed in and raised her hand to slap him.

——Pretend to be a bit like, pretend to be a bit like.

Xue Junyou, whose face was covered with scrawls, kept thinking in his heart, so he pretended to have gotten something from behind the wall, first stretched out his hand to his waist, and then hit it with a palm.

This maid is already middle-aged, but her internal strength is full, but in terms of physical strength, she is still somewhat inferior to Xue Junyou.

However, the acting was complete. Xue Junyou had a stalemate with her until Feiyun ran out, and then he fought her off.

The two immediately moved away from each other. Xue Junyou's eyes exposed outside the black cloth did not show any expression, but letting Fei Yun run out while the maid was not paying attention was more than half the success.

"But the Ninth Prince Consort?"

Yingluo frowned, the person in front of her was indeed extraordinary, and besides what the lady had ordered, he should be the Ninth Prince Consort who could beat bullies to death.

Xue Junyou kept silent.

In fact, it doesn't matter whether he admits it or not. According to the method proposed by Feiyun, after he leaves, he will still have to take the blame.

"Since you didn't say anything, don't blame me for questioning you after I captured you first!"

After saying that, Yingluo's face turned cold, her slender fingers that were not consistent with her age opened again, and she was as light as a swallow, and she was in front of Xue Junyou in an instant.

Although it looked fast, in Xue Junyou's eyes, it was still a bit slow. If it were normal, at this speed, he would only need to take advantage of the gap between the attacks, grab the arm with one hand, and then duck sideways.

Then break the opponent's entire arm to capture the opponent directly.

But today is different. Xue Junyou still needs this maid to open the wall for a while.

So he simply ducked sideways, and then punched the opponent in the abdomen.

This punch is not a light one, but the opponent is a martial arts practitioner and can 100% withstand it.

Yingluo was seen spitting out a mouthful of blood, as if she had suffered some internal injuries, but it did not hinder her movement.

Suddenly, Yingluo moved her hands together, her sleeves moving with the wind, and threw out more than a dozen silver needles and shot them towards Xue Junyou.

This silver needle is poisonous. It can't kill a person, but it can kill a cow.

Xue Junyou had just heard what Fei Yun said, so he was already prepared. He opened the black cloth that covered his face, and quickly shook the silver needles a few times. In the end, the silver needles were all wrapped in the black cloth.

"You are indeed the Nine Prince Consort, I have seen you!"

Yingluo frowned tightly. According to common sense, when the other party saw her vomiting out a mouthful of blood, he should have temporarily relaxed his mind. However, the other party's behavior seemed to be aware of her every move in advance.

"You admitted your mistake!"

Xue Junyou still denied it, then rushed forward coldly, stretched out his hand and wanted to hit Yingluo on the forehead.

When Yingluo saw it, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly. It seemed that she was overthinking and the other party didn't understand her.

So Yingluo caught the moment when the other party was about to come over, and immediately raised her sleeve and flicked it towards the other party's face.

A burst of dust was thrown out. Xue Junyou held his breath and shut up. He was one step ahead of the dust flying in his face and fell heavily to the ground.

"Fortunately, I'm prepared."

When Yingluo saw that the other party was hit, she breathed a sigh of relief, then took out a rope and tied Xue Junyou up, and then immediately walked to the wall.

She put her hand on the hollow part, found the sixth piece counting from bottom to top, turned it up, then measured it with her hand, and then pressed on the last measured part.

There was a click, and the mechanism started. Yingluo used some strength to push the wall halfway, and then a sound of wind chimes was revealed inside. When the wall was completely pushed open, a small darkroom with a study room was completely exposed from behind the wall.

Come.

Yingluo stood outside and carefully looked at the arrangement of everything in the darkroom. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that nothing was missing.

Just as she was about to turn around and search Xue Junyou's body to see if he had taken anything away, Yingluo's neck suddenly felt a stinging sensation of being pricked by a needle. Before she could react, her eyes went dark and she looked towards him.

He fell forward.

Feiyun, who was already standing behind Yingluo, caught her. This trick was tried and tested. In this way, Yingluo, the maid serving her mother, could sleep for a few more hours.

"This way!"

Xue Junyou immediately opened his eyes and shouted over there: "Hurry and help me untie the rope."

Feiyun immediately put Yingluo aside and went to help Xue Junyou untie her.

Soon, the two stopped in front of the darkroom again, and this time their faces showed the same expression of recognition as before.

"This is what the imperial concubine should leave behind."

Xue Junyou looked at the various furnishings in the darkroom, whether they were hanging on the wall or placed on the table. They were all valuable calligraphy and paintings by celebrities and precious antiques.

Even the three rows of shelves were filled with wooden boxes.

"There are so many things, it seems a bit time-consuming." Xue Junyou looked up and said.

"It's okay, I believe you."

Feiyun immediately understood after hearing this, turned around and picked up Yingluo who was leaning against the wall: "I will take Aunt Yingluo back first. What I did just now, I can only guarantee that she will sleep for two hours at most."

"rest assured!"

Xue Junyou looked back at Feiyun, with some confidence on his face: "One hour is enough."

"Okay! Then I'll take care of the outside stuff and give you an hour."

"Um."

After a brief conversation, Xue Junyou watched Feiyun's back disappear before his eyes, and he slowly walked into the darkroom with great curiosity.

There are many valuable items in this darkroom, which are probably of special significance to Concubine Gongsun. There are also various wind chimes hanging all over the darkroom, just like those seen in Ning'an Palace, and they should all have special meanings.

Xue Junyou bypassed those valuable things and went directly to find some clues that might be related to the death of Concubine Gongsun Huang.

He opened one box after another on the shelf and rummaged through it, but he didn't find any useful clues, and judging from the extraordinarily childish workmanship, many of them should still be toys for children.

They are probably toys that Anyang has played with before.

Looking at those worthless but priceless things, Xue Junyou paused for a while, seeming to think of his mother in his previous life.

These are precious treasures carrying maternal love.

Xue Junyou properly put those things back into their original places and sealed them. When the time comes to resolve the matters at hand, they will all be returned to Anyang.

Xue Junyou just looked at wooden boxes and boxes one after another, rummaging back and forth for nearly half an hour.

Finally, he found a box containing other things.

The box was very big, a square box, and the things inside were even more strange.

It turned out to be a skull and a cassock.
