This is the underground palace, it is not appropriate to make loud noises, Huangfu Liyue and Mu Jingchen only replied softly: "Yes."

Then, the king stood there and waited, while the two of them walked deep into the underground palace.

Deep in the underground palace is a stone-cast corridor.

On both sides of the corridor, there are compartments made of stone walls.

In the compartment, the coffins and extravagant funerary objects of successive kings and queens are placed.

The names of the ancestors of the Huangfu family in the coffin are also engraved on the stone pillars in the compartment.

Although this underground palace is very large, it is the resting place of the dead after all, and you can see it everywhere you go.

If the queen is in this underground palace, she will definitely be spotted at a glance.

In order to save time, the two planned to use the place under their feet as a meeting place and search separately.

Huangfu Liyue turned to the left, and Mu Jingchen turned to the right.

They didn't let go of any place where they could hide.

But after searching for more than half an hour, neither of them found anything.

In this underground palace, the silence is terrifying.

Huangfu Liyue walked around every place where the inner and outer coffins were stored, looking around, not even letting go of the inner and outer coffins.

Before passing through a coffin, she would stop, pay her respects first, and then check to see if there was a queen in the surrounding area.

But after searching for so long, there is not even a trace of life in this underground palace, let alone the queen.

Huangfu Liyue walked a full circle around the underground palace.

But apart from the coffins of the ancestors, various extravagant funeral objects, and some stories about successive kings carved on the stone walls, there is nothing else at all.

After walking around, she returned to the meeting place that she had agreed with Mu Jingchen earlier.

At this time, Mu Jingchen had searched everywhere and was waiting for her.

Looking at Mu Jingchen's gloomy face, she knew the result without asking.

"It's so weird, Jingchen, the queen came out of the hospital and came to the underground palace, but she's not in the underground palace."

Mu Jingchen didn't answer.

He looked up at the environment of the underground palace.

The design of this underground palace is very weird, not like an ordinary tomb.

He raised his hand, lightly touched the pattern carved on the stone wall beside him, and stroked and tested it carefully.

Huangfu Liyue walked to his side, and asked in a low voice: "Do you suspect that there are some secret passages or mechanisms here?"

Mu Jingchen nodded without any concealment.

"There is a mechanism at the entrance of this underground palace, and the design inside is so unique, there is no guarantee that there are any hidden secret passages inside."

After hearing what he said, Huangfu Liyue said: "Be careful, this place is very unusual. I almost got poisoned by a poisonous needle at the door before."

"Well, don't worry."

Mu Jingchen put away his hands and stared carefully at the patterns on the stone wall beside him.

These patterns are intricate, but if you look closely, they seem to be regular.

Maybe, what do these patterns represent?

While Mu Jingchen was observing, Huangfu Liyue also went to observe.

They were all very sure that the queen must have entered the underground palace.

But the queen does not have three heads and six arms, so it is impossible to disappear in the underground palace inexplicably.

She must still be here!

The two looked at each other.

They found that the patterns on the stone wall were almost every other distance.

Before at the entrance of the underground palace, Huangfu Liyue accidentally touched the pattern on the stone door at the entrance, touched the mechanism, and triggered the three poisonous needles.

So, they guessed, these patterns must have some meaning.

However, the two of them looked around, but didn't see any clues.

The search for the queen was fruitless, and the two had to go back to where the king was.

The king stood in front of the ancestor's coffin and waited for them for nearly two hours, and he had already lost his patience.

Seeing that they returned empty-handed and the queen was not there, he asked, "Didn't you say that the queen is in the underground palace?"

Huangfu Liyue was at a loss for words, and after a second pause, he insisted: "Father, we have confirmed that the queen is in the underground palace, so I dare to ask my father, is there any hidden places like secret passages in this underground palace?"

The king's face was gloomy, and he collapsed at once.

"Nuo Xi, have you had enough trouble?"

"Father, I didn't mess around. Don't you find it strange that the Queen left the hospital late at night?"

The king's expression remained unchanged.

"The Queen left the hospital late at night, and I have sent people to look for her. If she is not in the hospital, it doesn't mean she is in the underground palace.

Taking ten thousand steps back, the queen can't enter the underground palace. Even if she does, let me ask you, what is she doing here? "

This entire underground palace is full of people who have been dead for many years.

Who would come to a place like this in the middle of the night?

Huangfu Liyue lowered her eyes slightly.

She also wanted to know what the queen wanted to do.

Seeing that the king's face became more and more ugly, Mu Jingchen looked at Huangfu Liyue, and shook his head at her, signaling her not to continue talking.

Afterwards, he stepped forward, without arguing with the king, and directly bowed his head to plead guilty.

"Your Majesty, I was too reckless. I broke into the underground palace late at night and disturbed the ancestors. I am willing to accept all punishments."

Mu Jingchen bowed his head submissively, and the anger in the king's heart dissipated a lot.

"Trespassing the forbidden area and talking nonsense should indeed be punished. Tomorrow, you will go to the execution place by yourself and receive twenty lashes!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your forgiveness."

Mu Jingchen knew that this punishment was already extraordinarily merciful.

According to the laws of country Y for trespassing, I don't know how many times worse than whipping.

The king immediately looked at Huangfu Nuoxi, and said: "And you, Nuoxi, it seems that the father is usually too spoiled for you, starting from today, within three days, you are not allowed to step out of Chang'an Palace, treat yourself well Thinking about it in the temple!"

Huangfu Liyue lowered her head and replied, "Yes, father."

The king looked at them, shook his head, and then walked outside the underground palace.

Huangfu Liyue and Mu Jingchen followed behind and followed the king out of the underground palace.

...

The gate of the underground palace.

The moment they stepped out of the underground palace, the stone gate of the underground palace automatically closed.

After the king walked out of the underground palace, the guards waiting at the door greeted him.

"Your Majesty, the queen has been found, and she has not left the hospital!"

Hearing this, the king turned around and glanced at Huangfu Liyue and Mu Jingchen.

Huangfu Liyue and Mu Jingchen looked at each other in disbelief.

The queen has already returned to the hospital!

Now the king will not believe their words.

At this moment, in the eyes of the king, tonight was a prank played by the two of them.

The king frowned deeply, gave Huangfu Liyue a disappointed look, and left the underground palace with his guards.

Huangfu Liyue looked at Mu Jingchen, and said puzzledly: "Jingchen, can the queen still have the ability to clone herself? She has already returned to the hospital, it's incredible!"

Mu Jingchen was silent for a few seconds before saying: "No, we have been searching in the underground palace for several hours, judging by the time, she has time to return to the hospital.

However, as for why we didn't find it, it seems that there is only one explanation. There must be some secret passage or secret room in this underground palace! "
