At the third quarter of Yin time, the sky was still as dark as ink, and the torches had been raised high all over the canyon, and the sound of soldiers' drills echoed in every corner of the valley, full of enthusiasm.

This sound also woke up Yuan Shuangqing who was in her sleep. She sat up from the bed, and the faint light of the fire outside imprinted into the small tent, and half of her face was also flickering in the light.

Yuan Shuangqing glanced at Dongyin who was still sleeping on the bed next door, and listening to the shouts of the soldiers outside, suddenly felt that the outside world was so far away from her for some reason. The oppression of breathing in the chest seems to be flying away, flying out of this cold place.

The most sad and lonely time is to wake up in the dark, but the person you want to see is not there.

Yuan Shuangqing pulled back the quilt and stayed on the bed. There was no charcoal in the tent, and the air-conditioning went straight up from her feet. After a while, she felt bitingly cold. She wanted to lift the curtain to look outside, but she hadn't reached the curtain yet. , suddenly stopped, turned around slowly, and stared at a certain place.

In fact, there was nothing there, and she herself didn't know why she was like this, but a sudden flash of inspiration in her mind.

Yuan Shuangqing shifted her gaze and reached out to lift the curtain. However, the curtain suddenly couldn't be opened. A trace of surprise flashed across her brows. She tried her best, but the curtain remained motionless. The heavy curtain became as heavy as iron and stone.

what happened……

Yuan Shuangqing tried again, then gave up and continued to try. She sat back on the couch, wondering why the curtains, which were fine last night, could not be opened today. Could it be that Zhu Xi was afraid that she would run away, so why did Zhu Xi move the tent up and down? Failed?

Yuan Shuangqing sat for a while, and finally felt a chill in her back. She slowly put the quilt on her body, and it took a while for her body to gradually warm up.The sound of practice outside continued, accompanied by the sound of wind and snow, which made Yuan Shuangqing's heart itch.

She tried to open the curtain again.

……Or not.

Just as Yuan Shuangqing sat back down, a fire flashed outside the door and stopped in front of the curtain.

"Miss Yuan is still resting?"

Yuan Shuangqing was startled, it was Shisan's voice.

She hurriedly said: "I'm already up, you should withdraw this spell."

"What?" Shisan's voice was hesitant, and then he smiled and said, "Miss Yuan... is combing her hair?"

comb hair?Yuan Shuangqing was confused for a while, then suddenly realized.

Technique...comb hair, Shisan may have misheard.

The shadow of a hand suddenly stretched out in front of the curtain, presumably belonged to Shisan, and then she heard Shisan's muttering: "Why can't the curtain be opened?"

These words pierced through the shouts of the soldiers and the whistling of the wind and snow, and fell into her ears abruptly.Yuan Shuangqing couldn't help being stunned, as if her heart had been hit violently, she suddenly felt that her hands began to tremble, and she broke into a cold sweat.

"Maybe it's frozen?" Another voice outside answered Thirteen.

no.Not frozen.

Yuan Shuangqing knew it was not.

She looked at that place again and asked softly, "Are you there?"

A figure of nothingness in the darkness swayed in Yuan Shuangqing's gaze. Even though she knew that Yuan Shuangqing should not be able to see her, she still felt that she was helpless in that fiery gaze with some hope. hide everywhere.

The three words 'are you there' involved many memories related to it.When she was ten years old, Yuan Shuangqing overcame her timidity and took the first step towards her, asking her softly, are you there?

Are you there?Chang Xi looked at Yuan Shuangqing and was in a daze for a moment.What were you thinking at that time?It seems to be the same mood, it seems to be struggling and resisting, and it seems that there is no reply to her.

like……

"why?"

Yuan Shuangqing said another three words softly, and then she smiled self-deprecatingly, without waiting for an answer, as if she was just asking casually.She started dressing and getting out of bed, and stopped looking at Chang Xi.

Chang Xi looked at her silently.

The moment the curtain was opened by Yuan Shuangqing, cold air poured in from the outside, blowing away a strand of Yuan Shuangqing's hair. Yuan Shuangqing froze for a moment, and began to talk to Shisan with a calm expression.

Changxi watched in a daze until Yuan Shuangqing left with Shisan.

Yuan Shuangqing never looked back from the beginning to the end.

Chang Xi couldn't help smiling, but before the smile reached his eyes, it was replaced by other emotions.

"I'm here," she said.

Unfortunately, no one could hear it.

The emperor, Mu Tongsan and others were already waiting at the entrance of the underground palace. She was wearing a lot of clothes, but she still shrank her neck and rubbed her hands. Shisan walked over to bless Fushen, took the maid's umbrella handle, and started to help the emperor hold the umbrella .

After Yuan Shuangqing approached, the emperor looked at her and smiled, "Let me wait."

Looking at the still dark sky, Yuan Shuangqing couldn't help asking, "Do you want to go to the grave so early?"

"It's the meaning of Mu Tong, and I don't quite understand the mystery of it."

While yawning, Zhuge Kao secretly rolled his eyes. Being called up early in the morning, he was inevitably a little angry, but he tried his best to restrain himself.

The entrance of this underground palace is a huge stone gate. It used to be filled with stones, and then it was covered with ice and snow, so it was extremely difficult to find, but now it has been destroyed, and the stone gate is half destroyed. It looks like a sword hanging in the air.

Looking in from the outside, the steps go down all the way, and the inside is lit with torches, and it is dark.

The emperor clenched his fists and breathed a sigh of relief, leaned towards Yuan Shuangqing, and whispered in her ear: "I thought about it all night last night, but I still don't know how to tell the queen, why don't you wait for you to come out, and then help me think about it." Method."

Yuan Shuangqing glanced at her, it was rare for the emperor to look so shy, she pursed her lips and said with a smile, "Okay."

The interaction between the two seems ambiguous to outsiders, and many people's eyes have changed. The emperor's harem has always been only the queen's wife, but everyone knows that the emperor is actually very romantic. Although the country has temporarily changed hands, the emperor is still Your majesty, maybe the concubine of the concubine, this girl's origin is unknown, but as long as the emperor likes it, there is nothing wrong with it.

Ao Zhan stood beside Mutong Sanren, his eyes darkened, and he pushed down the brim of his hat.

Everything that should be prepared was ready before Yuan Shuangqing came, and everyone didn't delay any longer. They followed Mutong Sanren and walked inside. Unlike the outside, the more you go down the steps, the warmer you will be.

After walking up the steps, he entered a section of corridor. The corridor is surrounded by polished and flat stones. Looking inside, there is no end to the black hole.

Nearly a hundred soldiers led the way ahead, followed by Mutong Sanren, Han Fei, Ao Zhan, Yuan Shuangqing and Zhuge Kao, followed by a large number of soldiers.

With so many people walking in the corridor, there is still room to spare.

"This underground palace is so big?" Zhuge Kao couldn't help sighing.

Zhuge Kao's voice echoed in the corridor, no one spoke, but now almost everyone could hear it.

Mutong Sanren looked back and said with a smile, "This is not an underground palace, it's just the entrance."

Yuan Shuangqing was very surprised: "After walking for so long, it's just an entrance. How big should it be inside?"

Mu Tongsan said: "We have to walk halfway to the front bed of the underground palace. I don't know how big it is, but it must be able to hold tens of thousands of people."

"How many...tens of thousands of people?" Zhuge Kao swallowed, rolled his eyes, and looked at the place: "It can accommodate so many people, why do you still have to stay outside? It's better to move into the underground palace, There's no wind or snow here, and it's still warm, much better than in a tent."

Ao Zhan's deep voice came from the front: "It's not that I haven't thought about it, but there are so many traps in the underground palace. Even after visiting many times, some of the traps still haven't been found. If someone accidentally presses a button that can cause the underground palace to collapse Organ, then we will be buried alive.”

Hearing these words, Yuan Shuangqing fantasized about the scene, and couldn't help shivering.

Mu Tongsan said: "So...you must not touch the things here. If a certain mechanism is triggered, the old man will not be able to react in time, and he will be powerless."

When Mutong Sanren said this, Zhuge Kao was about to touch the wall with his hand. After hearing Mutong's words, he subconsciously withdrew his hand. After thinking about it, he felt that Mutong didn't know if he was deliberately scaring him, so he couldn't help staring. glanced at him.

Mu Tong turned his head immediately, caught the undodged disdain in Zhuge's eyes, and immediately smiled meaningfully at him.

Zhuge Kao couldn't help feeling a little guilty, and turned his head away, thinking that this old man is so powerful, as if he had eyes on his back.

Yuan Shuangqing didn't pay attention to Zhuge Kao's small movements beside her. She was completely absorbed in the mystery of this underground palace, and the further she walked, the more she understood it.

Gradually, the stones around the corridor changed, they were no longer flat blocks, but with lines. Yuan Shuangqing settled down to look carefully, and found that it seemed to be a huge pattern, extending all the way in.

"This picture is a story about the deeds of Emperor Wei Xiao during his lifetime." It was Han Fei who spoke, and he turned his head and smiled at Yuan Shuangqing, with a gentle voice: "This picture says that Emperor Wei liked to conquer small countries around him in his middle age. After that, they collected the treasures and beauties there, which gradually aroused the hatred of all parties. Some small countries began to pay tribute to beautiful women and food in order to kill Wei Di. I really like it, and I will test the poison in advance for the food, so those plots have not succeeded. After the age of fifty, Emperor Wei Xiao was weak and stopped killing, and began to build this mausoleum."

"At this moment, a girl appeared. She was only 16 years old and was sent to the palace. Moreover, Emperor Wei really fell in love with her."

Zhuge Kao frowned: "This old man, he is so old, he still wants to harm the little girl."

Seeing that Han Fei stopped talking, Yuan Shuangqing asked, "What happened later?"

"Later, Emperor Wei Xiao loved this girl so much that he couldn't help himself. The prince Wei Emperor who was born to her also loved the house and the crow. When the prince grew up to five years old, he was good at riding and shooting, and was good at fighting. Emperor Wei wanted to make him the crown prince. However, the crown prince at that time was born to the former empress, and he has sat in this position for more than [-] years, winning the hearts of the people."

Zhuge Kao curled his lips, and said with a smile: "Actually, we can already guess the rest of this. It seems to be another story of brotherly murder, father and son. Here comes another baby who grabs milk."

"Ever since Emperor Wei Xiao had this idea, he has been unable to think about food and drink all day long, and cannot sleep at night. Just when the woman blew the pillow wind in his ear again, Emperor Wei Xiao became more determined to change the prince."

The Mutong Sanren touched his white beard, and said, "In the name of going out to fight against the army, Emperor Xiao ordered the prince to lead the old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers to the front line to fight, and secretly deployed to ambush the prince, but his life should not die, the prince He actually led this group of old, weak, sick and disabled to escape from Wei Xiaodi's ambush. When the prince learned that his father wanted to swab his concubine, he felt very sad. On the way back to the palace, he began to recruit soldiers and buy horses. In the name of the demon concubine, attack all the way under the Daodu city..."

Mutong Sanren stopped talking, the two of them were listening intently, and couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

"and then?"

"No then," Ao Zhan answered Yuan Shuangqing, he said in a low voice, "The drawing stopped at this point, but according to the records, the crown prince did not succeed."

"Tsk..." Zhuge Kao smacked his lips regretfully.

At this moment, a soldier in front shouted: "General, we have arrived at the main hall."

Ao Zhan responded loudly: "Everyone be careful!"

He took a torch from a soldier, turned around and handed it to Yuan Shuangqing: "Take it, if you get lost, you won't be able to see anything without the fire."

Zhuge Kao watched Yuan Shuangqing take it, thinking he would have it too, but Ao Zhan didn't mean it at all, so he pointed to his nose and asked, "What about me?"

Yuan Shuangqing glanced at Ao Zhan's back silently, and said to Zhuge Kao, "Just follow me, don't get lost."
