Forced to be a third person: I turned around and left the palace to marry a villain

"This..." Fang Kui's body trembled, filled with fear. Ming Fei's words could lead to his death if he was not careful.

Ming Fei was right. Princess Ming used inappropriate language at the Emperor's birthday banquet and she really needs to be taught a lesson.

The Queen had long been dissatisfied with the Fang family. Now that the Fang family had betrayed Chu Feimo, Fang Lansu was asking for trouble. This was a good opportunity to get rid of the Fang family. Moreover, she could also take the opportunity to get rid of Chu Jingming!

"I wonder how my second brother is doing now." Chu Yan gently kicked away the pebbles under her feet as she walked, with worry in her voice.

"Prince Ming is extremely smart, he should be fine." Jiang Xue saw through Chu Yan's thoughts and comforted her.

Chu Jingming is not only extremely intelligent, but also has been fighting against Chu Feimo for many years, so he is already familiar with dealing with the latter. In addition, he has a group of supporters behind him who are fighting against Chu Feimo together.

"I heard that before Chu Feimo entered the palace this time, he had a secret conversation with the generals for nearly two hours. It is obvious that he has made sufficient preparations for the reform." Xiao Zhan said as he walked and looked back.

"He originally wanted to use this birthday banquet to put pressure on my father." Chu Yan explained. This was also what she was most worried about. Luo Shi had already revealed Chu Feimo's plan, and the second brother had been sending people to monitor the Prince's Mansion, so he must be aware of the situation.

Chu Yan speculated that her second brother chose to bring them to the imperial mausoleum on this day in order to keep them away from the disputes in the palace. Before leaving Beijing, he specifically asked her to bring Yunyan with her, but Yunyan was pregnant and could not travel, so she stayed.

"There's no way forward." Xiao Zhan stopped and saw a huge rock in front of him. They only had one road to go along, and according to the map, they had only walked less than half the distance.

"There may be a mechanism here." It is common to set up a mechanism at the entrance to prevent tomb robbers.

Jiang Xue raised the torch and carefully observed the walls around her, and found that two protruding stones looked special.

"Could it be this?" Chu Yan reached out and touched one of the stones in confusion.

"Third Princess, be careful!" Before she finished speaking, she pressed her fingers lightly and countless arrows flew out from all directions!

Jiang Xue was held tightly in Xiao Zhan's arms, while Chu Yan stood alone in the center of the storm of flying arrows.

"Ayan!"

Luo Shi roared, and the surroundings were suddenly filled with ghostly energy. He waved his hand, and the entire imperial mausoleum seemed to tremble, and countless pieces of rubble fell from the sky, blocking the fatal arrows for Chu Yan.

After the chaos, dust flew and vision was blurred. Jiang Xue and Xiao Zhan covered their noses and waited for the dust to clear before asking, "Third Princess, are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Chu Yan replied, still a little frightened. This was the first time she encountered such a powerful mechanism, and the black arrows all over the ground were shocking. If Luo Shi hadn't acted in time, she might have been hit by several arrows.

"Ayan."

Luo Shi circled Chu Yan several times until he was sure that she was really safe, then he relaxed a little.

"I never expected that the first trap would almost cost me my life."

Chu Yan took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She looked up at the stone not far away, hesitant in her heart, not daring to act rashly.

Jiang Xue also looked at the stone and fell into deep thought. These two stones were so conspicuous, as if they were deliberately attracting attention. The remaining stone was likely to be as dangerous as the previous one.

"what?"

Xiao Zhan shook off the dust on his body and accidentally found a small groove in the lower left corner of the boulder. He squatted down and took a closer look with the torch, and found that the inner wall of the groove was smooth and delicate, which was completely different from the rough rocks around it.

"Jiang Xue, come and see."

Xiao Zhan beckoned Jiang Xue to come over. The two looked at each other, and Jiang Xue carefully reached out her hand and pressed it gently.

"Click."

After a while, the boulder seemed to be lifted up by an invisible hand and slowly rose, revealing a hidden passage behind it.

"It turns out that these two protruding stones are just a decoy. The real mechanism is here." Chu Yan suddenly realized.

"This is the emperor's tomb. There are countless treasures in it. If we don't set up numerous traps, those tomb robbers will not let it go easily." Jiang Xue stood up with a smile and walked forward a few steps.

"We are running out of time. Chu Feimo may launch a coup at any time. We must find General Ye's remains as soon as possible."

Although the Tieyun Army was ready, they were foreign troops after all, and Chu Jingming could not mobilize them openly unless an uncontrollable chaos broke out in Fengxiao City.

If handled improperly, Chu Feimo would seize the opportunity and accuse Chu Jingming of colluding with foreign forces and plotting evil.

Therefore, it is very important to awaken Luo Shi, the king of resentful ghosts. Once his seal is unlocked, Luo Shi's power can buy Chu Jingming precious time.

On the other side, the Queen was thinking about how to use Fang Lansu to deal with Chu Jingming.

Suddenly, the palace began to shake violently, and the tables and chairs vibrated along with it, and the tableware on them fell off.

"What happened?" People were panicking, and the queen was no exception. She tightly grasped the armrests of the Phoenix Chair, trying to keep her balance, and her face was paler than usual.

In contrast to the Empress, Concubine Ming appeared unusually calm. Even in such a chaotic situation, her posture remained elegant and she was not at all flustered.

Chu Feimo was also as steady as a rock with his martial arts. He glanced at Chu Jingming who was also as steady as a rock, and felt that things were not simple.

Xillion is located on a plain and has rarely experienced earthquakes in history. Why was it so severe today?

"His Royal Highness."

An attendant squeezed in the crowd and came to Chu Feimo's side, whispering: "This earthquake may be related to the imperial mausoleum."

"Imperial Tomb..." A hint of doubt flashed across Chu Feimo's eyes.

"What happened in the imperial mausoleum?" Since the imperial palace and the imperial mausoleum are connected by geographical veins, any movement in the imperial mausoleum will affect the imperial palace.

"According to the spy report from the Third Princess's Mansion, the Third Princess entered the Imperial Mausoleum with Princess Changle and Master Xuanji," the attendant added.

"Really? That's interesting!"

Chu Feimo's eyes suddenly lit up, like a wolf eyeing its prey, with an imperceptible fierceness hidden in his eyes.

Although he seemed calm on the surface, his heart was like the surging waves of the ocean, and he was extremely excited.

Imperial Tomb! This is so interesting! It's like God is helping me!

Chu Jingming, this is an opportunity that has come to your doorstep! I may be able to make you disappear completely without even a single soldier!

"Father!"

As the earthquake eased slightly, Chu Feimo immediately stood up and saluted respectfully to Emperor Xiyong.

"This earthquake was so strong, I am worried that there might be some damage to the imperial mausoleum."

When the imperial mausoleum was mentioned, the face of the Xiyong Emperor became solemn. He pondered for a moment and thought that Chu Feimo's worries were indeed justified.

The imperial mausoleum and the imperial palace are connected by underground veins, and any vibration in either place will affect the other.

The earthquake just now was so severe that if it affected the imperial tombs, it would be a great disrespect to the previous emperors. We must check it immediately!

Thinking of this, Emperor Xiyong ignored the birthday banquet and stood up immediately.

"Let's go and take a look at the imperial mausoleum!" After saying that, he strode forward, and everyone followed him.
