The prince disliked her, and the legitimate daughter was reborn and married to the regent

The cave after the wooden bridge suddenly opened up, with green pool water right under my feet, vines covering the entire dome, revealing gray rocks and brown tree roots.

It's very strange. The main body of the cave seems to be under a huge tree. However, outside Luochuan City, such a huge tree... is rare.

Where has she come this time?

But this is not important. What is important is the dried corpses hanging on the vines in front of me.

It should be a corpse, right? Yun Nian grabbed his collar, his heart beating faster due to fear and excitement.

She took a step forward and actually stood on the stone that emerged from the water.

Countless skinny corpses were hanging high and low. The one closest to her could even see the wrinkled skin on his face.

"Why does it look familiar?"

Yun Nian stared at the face with closed eyes. The body had obviously lost its life, without even a breath. If the face wrinkled by dryness could be smoothed out...

Her fingertips stopped at the corpse's brow, and she pondered carefully. The people she had met flashed through her mind one by one, and then she tapped her forehead as if she had an epiphany.

"Isn't this the person from Ning Sinian's house?"

She could still remember it because he once invited her to watch a troupe he specially invited, but she was frightened by the sudden appearance of a servant.

"Why did you get startled?"

She pressed her head, and her memory went back to that day.

At that time, she had just made an engagement with Ning Sinian, and she thought of him as someone who must be pampered like a brother. However, she was frightened by a reckless guy while watching a play.

He was an ordinary servant, who looked young, about fourteen or fifteen years old, with a clean face.

But when he appeared to hand over the tea, Yun Nian saw some signs of movement on his face, as if something had entered his body.

That was why she was frightened at that time, and when Ning Sinian saw her frightened look, he scolded the servant with an unexpected look on his face and drove him away.

Originally Yun Nian thought that he had misjudged it, but now that he thought about it, Ning Sinian was clearly not right either. Based on his personality, he should have punished him on the spot. How could he have let it go so easily?

Could the things here be related to the Prince of Jinyang? What does he want to do?

Were all these people killed by him?

Yun Nian felt a sense of uneasiness in her heart. She looked up and saw that the densely packed corpses seemed to be shaking slightly, as if they were trying to break free and pounce on her.

"Something's wrong... He killed people, that's fine, but why did he hang them up? And they look so skinny, it's obvious that they were drained of energy."

She took a few steps across the stone path and stopped in front of another body. This time it was a woman, and someone she was very familiar with.

Although his face was also wrinkled, she recognized him at a glance.

"Lan Xin?"

Ning Sinian was once the most beautiful woman in the world, the most beautiful lady in the brothel. Although he said he wanted to break up with her after the engagement, no one believed that the romantic prince would be willing to give up for Yun Nian.

Similarly, Yun Nian didn’t believe it either, but she never heard of her Ying Zongrong again afterwards. Could it be that she had already died?

She recognized more and more corpses, all of whom were people she had met once or were very familiar with.

And she found that the higher it was hung, the more memorable it was.

A chill reached her heart, as if an invisible net was slowly spreading out. Was it targeting her?

The woman named Fuqiu from Keluo probably didn't choose the villa of the Prime Minister's Mansion randomly as she said.

Did she discover the mechanism here? Was she here for this purpose as well?

Yun Nian didn't know, but she felt that this matter was definitely not something she could solve alone.

"Kaka...kaka..."

Something was turning with difficulty. Yun Nian thought it was another mechanism, but was startled by the mummy that suddenly floated in front of him.

"what!"

This time she failed to conceal her voice, and the empty cave was filled with her echo, sounding distant and terrifying.

"Kaka..."

As the sounds came one after another, the mummies all turned their heads at the same time. Although their eyes were closed, their heads were all turned towards her.

The vines hanging on the mummy were shaking. They looked so tough, but under the violent shaking, they also looked fragile.

"not good!"

Yun Nian realized that something was wrong. These mummies were not just corpses. Instead, they seemed to be controlled by some kind of evil magic. They were motionless because no one had disturbed them before.

And now, they have all "woken up".

She immediately turned around and ran back the way she had come. The dark green water in the pond was now boiling as if something had been thrown into it, bubbling.

A huge bubble exploded next to the stone under the girl's feet, splashing water on it, making a "sizzling" sound, and leaving a black mark.

"Ah, what is this?"

Yun Nian cried out in fear. There were bubbles rising in front of him, and behind him were mummies that were about to break free from their restraints. It seemed that there was no way to escape.

Rather than being burned by the unknown liquid, Yun Nian was more worried about the group of ghosts behind him.

She gritted her teeth and jumped lightly onto one of the stones. The bubbles burst impatiently and splashed onto the surface of her shoes, corroding the delicate embroidered shoes quickly.

Yun Nian quickly kicked off his shoes and jumped forward again.

But this time, he didn't seem so lucky. His toes couldn't hold onto the smooth stone, and he couldn't control his body in his haste.

The girl was leaning back, about to fall straight into the strange pool of water.

She closed her eyes tightly, but realized that the pain she had been waiting for did not come.

"Humph, you're still so reckless. You caused such a big trouble when you weren't paying attention for a moment."

The mocking words rang out, Yun Nian opened her eyes, her sight locked directly on the protruding Adam's apple and the smooth and pointed chin. She raised her head slightly, and was pressed down by the other party.

"Don't look around randomly. You dare to come to such a dangerous place alone. I think you are tired of living."

There was a strong smell of blood coming from his body, and the sleeves in front of him seemed to be wet and heavy.

Yun Nian couldn't see what was happening behind her, she only knew that she was being carried across the wooden bridge quickly. When she looked back, the mummies stood there in confusion as if they had lost their target, and then they tied her up again.

"Your Highness?"

She was finally let go, but she couldn't control her surprise.

"Why are you here?"

Wei Qingjue held the sword in one hand with a cold expression.
