After the dragon bed was moved to the right, a piece of open space was vacated. At first glance, it was empty and there was nothing special about it. Yin Haozhe breathed a sigh of relief again, but still felt uneasy and walked to the shelf placed aside.i^
There were various precious antique vases on the shelf, large and small, at least a dozen. Yin Haozhe put his hand on one of the blue and white porcelain vases, and gently turned it twice to the left and three times to the right.
, only a "click" sound was heard, and a crack suddenly appeared on the originally flat ground, and then grew bigger and bigger, and soon, a staircase was revealed.
Yin Haozhe walked over and stepped down the stairs without a moment's hesitation.
Just when his head disappeared from the ground, there was another click, the cracks on the ground automatically healed, and the dragon bed that had been removed automatically moved back, and everything returned to its place.
The bright yellow tulle flickered and the candle shadow swayed gently, as if nothing had happened, except that Yin Haozhe was missing.
And Yin Haozhe, who disappeared, was walking down step by step. It was a long staircase. The sound of Yin Haozhe's footsteps echoed in the silent space. There were luminous pearls as big as fists hanging on the walls on both sides. You could tell at a glance.
Each one is a priceless treasure.
The dim green light of the night pearl shines on Yin Haozhe's face without a trace of smile, which is extremely strange and penetrating.
Finally, the stairs were finished, and a stone door appeared in front of Yin Haozhe. On both sides of the stone door were painted two golden dragons with teeth and claws. There was no lock on the stone door, but there was a burning purple flame in the middle. He didn't know where the source of the fire was.
, hot and mysterious, even reflecting the entire stone gate into a light purple.
Of course, if someone accidentally touches this stone door, this hand will probably be useless.
However, Yin Haozhe calmly took off the purple jade pendant that had been hanging around his waist. This jade pendant was obviously the purple jade that was stolen by Bai Li last time and secretly returned by Yin Moxuan.
I saw Yin Haozhe holding the jade pendant in front of the burning flame. At first glance, the shape of the flame actually matched the jade pendant.
Gently pushing the jade pendant forward, the next moment, the flame suddenly extinguished, and at the same time, the stone door automatically moved to the side.
Before the stone door could be fully opened, a bright green light shot out from inside. Yin Haozhe instinctively blocked his sight with his hand, and when he lowered his hand, he finally got used to it.
The stone door was all open, and Yin Haozhe strode in. The moment he stepped in, the stone door behind him closed again.
It was a large stone room. The stone room was surrounded by nothing, except for a high platform built in the middle. There was a transparent box placed on the high platform, and the dazzling green light came from the box.
call……
It was only then that Yin Haozhe breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, fortunately, the things were still there!
Step by step, he walked towards the high platform, and the green light became more and more intense. Yin Haozhe could only squint his eyes and stand still a few steps away from the high platform.i^
Because the light was so strong, he had never dared to look at the things inside at close range for so many years.
But even without looking at it, he knew that it was a lotus heart, that is, the lotus heart of the three-leaf blood lotus!
Although the previous prophecy was only circulated among the royal family, the legend about the three-leaf blood lotus was spread throughout the Tianqi Dynasty.
Everyone in the world is trying hard to find the three-leaf blood lotus. They only think that it is a magical thing that can cure all diseases, detoxify all poisons, and improve one's power. But they don't know that it also has an important responsibility related to the survival of the world.
The only thing everyone knows is that the three leaves of the three-leaf blood lotus have been lost in three places. A single leaf has its own effect, but if the three leaves come together, there will be unpredictable magical power.
But no matter what its real use is, for thousands of years, no one has ever seen the three-leaf blood lotus, not even a single petal.
Even so, everyone was still searching frantically, and even fought and killed each other. In the end, what they got was just a fake three-leaf blood lotus.
Some people even say that the legend of the three-leaf blood lotus is completely false.
But no matter what everyone said, Yin Haozhe was convinced that there was a three-leaf blood lotus, because the heart of the three-leaf blood lotus was right here with him.
This secret room was built and arranged by his mother herself, in order to prevent outsiders from knowing the existence of this hard-won three-leaf blood lotus heart.
His mother said that in order to get the lotus heart, she killed a kind-hearted woman who once saved the lives of their mother and son.
But when he asked in detail, his mother refused to say anything anymore. She closed her eyes every time with a tired look on her face, and then waved her hand to let him leave.
Until his death, he never got an answer from his mother, and the only thing she left was that no matter what, he must keep this lotus heart and never fall into the hands of others. If one day he can find the three pieces of blood,
lotus petals, then they can be integrated into one.
Yin Haozhe knew that his mother wanted to protect him and also hoped that he could become the person who would dominate the world.
But what happened to the silver snake in the prophecy?
Seeing that Lian Xin was okay, Yin Haozhe stopped staying any longer. After all, the light from Lian Xin was too dazzling.
After walking out of the secret room, he returned to the palace along the same path. After sitting down on the dragon bed, Yin Haozhe closed his eyes and shook his head. He thought that for such a high-ranking person, there were things that he couldn't look directly at. This shows that this lotus heart is really
It's quite mysterious.
In fact, in the past few years, he has been sending hermits to look for the three-leaf blood lotus outside, but there has been no news. If it were not for the lotus heart in hand, he might have given up on the search and just thought it was a false legend.
But compared to those who have nothing, his advantage is obvious. After all, even if they get the petals of the three-leaf blood lotus, they can't do anything because there is no lotus heart, so how are the petals different from ordinary flowers?
Thinking of this, Yin Haozhe's lips curled up with a sarcastic smile, and then his eyes froze slightly as he thought of the inexplicable fire in the imperial study just now.
The fire was not very big, and it was discovered early, so except for the temple door being burned a little, there was no damage inside.
But precisely because of this, Yin Haozhe became more suspicious, because no matter from which aspect he looked, he felt that this was a man-made arson.
So when he saw the strange silver shadow, he hurried back. He was afraid that someone was using a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain and draw his and the guards' attention to the fire in the imperial study room.
I came to his palace to steal the heart of the three-leaf blood lotus.
But now it seems that it is obviously not the case.
So what happened to the fire and the snake shadow?
The more Yin Haozhe thought about it, the more confused he felt. He rubbed his temples with a headache, but he heard Xiao Luzi's voice outside the palace: "Your Majesty, just now Xiao Hezi from Qingyu Palace came to report that the empress' hand was injured.
"
"What!?" Yin Haozhe almost jumped up from the dragon bed. He ran to the door in a few steps, opened the door and said loudly: "Tell me again, what happened?"
Xiao Luzi was not surprised at all about Yin Haozhe's nervousness. He lowered his head and continued: "Xiao Hezi said that the empress accidentally broke an earthen pot with fish soup, but she wanted to pick up the pieces, so she accidentally scratched it.
I hurt my hand."
Fish soup? Crock pot?
Didn’t you make it yourself and send it to you?
She must have been injured because she wanted to drink fish soup after she left, right?
When Yin Haozhe heard this, his face immediately filled with regret, "It's all my fault! Xiaoluzi, show me to Qingyu Palace."
In Wangyue Lake, five miles away from the imperial city.
There is no moon tonight, not even a star.
The water in Wangyue Lake is constantly churning and splashing.
A silver shadow was rolling in the lake for a while, leaping into the air for a while, and then diving into the water again...
That shadow is the snake-shaped Yin Moxuan. He is crazy, crazy. He is afraid that he will not be able to control his animal nature and hurt others, so he can only vent it here.
Bai Li smashed his head so hard that it bled, but he didn't feel any pain at all, because if it would make Bai Li feel better, he would be happy to do so.
Even if she stabbed her again, he would send his body forward without hesitation.
Because what he owed her could no longer be made up for by saying an apology or doing something.
However, the moment he saw Bai Li cut his finger to prevent others from discovering his existence, his heart ached so much.
That blow was like a cut on his heart. Bai Li's palms were bleeding, and his heart was bleeding too.
Bai Li, this girl is afraid of pain.
He would gently twist her hand, and she would scream in pain. When she was practicing piano in the palace, her finger was cut just a little bit, and she was howling like a ghost.
But this time, she paddled it without hesitation and didn't even cry out in pain.
Looking at her tightly pinched face and her teeth biting her lower lip, he knew that she must be in pain without even thinking about it.
However, she did not shout a word, just because the real Pei Yuhuang was so forbearing.
When he saw the tears silently falling from her eyes, he wanted to rush out, hold her tightly in his arms, and told her that he no longer wanted her to be Pei Yuhuang or Yin Haozhe's concubine.
She will be his princess, his woman.
However, he held back because he knew that Bai Li must hate him now, so he wanted to use his own method to apologize to her and let her return to the Bai Li she was before.
