Xue Rouer saw Zi Tong in a daze and said, "What's wrong?"

Zi Tong said: "This statue was carved by my Taizu. The Taizu disappeared the day after the statue was completed. There was blood on the lips of the statue, so it was regarded as a witch. It was said that this statue was eaten by

Killed my great ancestor."

Xue Rou'er smiled and said: "It's nonsense. How can a statue eat people? If it is a statue made by your great ancestor, then you need to find out what your great ancestor did."

Zi Tong nodded and said: "Well, Taizu's documents are in the room with the blue plaque. Because he disappeared after only a few days as king, there are not many documents."

Xue Rou'er nodded and was about to go out, but something caught her skirt and stumbled over the sculpture. The sculpture fell to the ground and broke into two pieces.

"Oops, it's broken." Xue Rou'er said nervously.

Zi Tong's eyes flashed, and he took out a golden box from the fracture of the sculpture.

Xue Rouer was stunned and said, "What is this?"

Zi Tong opened the box and found a silk handkerchief and a piece of paper inside.

Xue Rouer said: "Let me see, please hold the child well."

Zi Tong nodded, stood up the stunned Zi Xiao a little, and then gave him the silk handkerchief in the gold box to play with.

There is a picture on the paper, with a diamond-shaped picture frame drawn on it. There is a tunnel behind the picture frame, extending downward, and underneath is a square secret room. There is a big curse word written in the secret room.

"This seems to be a secret passage, but where are we going to find this diamond-shaped thing?" Xue Rouer said, pointing to the drawing.

Zi Tong took a look and said: "I know, this is the Cold Palace. That diamond-shaped thing is actually a ghost-suppressing charm. It's very big. I didn't expect that there is a secret passage behind it."

Xue Rou'er said: "Then do we still need to look for Taizu's documents?"

Zi Tong thought for a moment and said: "No need, I generally know some documents about Xilan Kingdom, nothing important, especially Taizu's. His records only include the years from his birth to his disappearance, and there are only a few years between his birth and his disappearance.

It’s no big deal.”

Xue Rou'er nodded and said: "Okay, let's go back first and then look for an opportunity to visit Leng Palace."

The two closed the door and walked out in a big way.

After returning to the dormitory, Zi Tong said: "I can finally rest."

Xue Rouer curled her lips: "Weren't you just sitting and resting?"

Zi Tong said aggrievedly: "I'm talking about the arms, this kid is very heavy!"

Xue Rou'er smiled and scolded: "You don't think it's important to me as a big person, but you still think it's too small for him?"

Zi Tong smiled evilly and said: "How can it be the same? I won't despise the child no matter how long I hold it."

Xue Rouer glared at him, but she was happy in her heart.

A eunuch ran in dripping with sweat and said: "Your Majesty... the regent was assassinated and is in urgent need of Huo Qilin's saliva to heal his wounds."

Xue Rou'er asked hurriedly: "How is the injury? Who was stabbed?" According to the regent's martial arts, outsiders will not get close enough. Is it an acquaintance? Could it be Leng Ning?

The eunuch said: "It's... it's the queen. She didn't know what happened, so she suddenly took out a dagger and stabbed the regent. Fortunately, the wound was not deep, otherwise..." He did not dare to say the word death.

Xue Rouer frowned and said, "Let's go and have a look."

She was not worried about the regent's injury, but worried about Leng Die. She shouldn't do this. Even if she wanted to defeat the regent, she had to ensure her own safety. How could she be so reckless?

When they arrived at the Prince Regent's bedroom, the Prince Regent was half-lying on the imperial concubine's chair, with gauze wrapped around his chest, stained red with blood.

Xue Rou'er said: "How are you? Does it matter?"

Seeing the nervousness on her face, the regent smiled and said, "It's okay, don't worry, it's just a skin injury."

Xue Rou'er untied the gauze with her own hands and found that it was indeed a skin injury, only two centimeters deep. The width of the wound was a bit wider. How could such a dagger not be found when it was hidden on the body?

Seeing that she was silent, the regent said, "What? Are you scared?"

In order to conceal her emotions, Xue Rou'er jumped up and said, "Wait for me, I'll go find Fire Qilin."

The regent looked at her back and smiled. It seemed that this woman was wholeheartedly for him, so he didn't need to test her anymore.

Xue Rouer ran to the backyard and asked for some saliva from Huo Qilin. During this period, her mind was racing. Leng Die should not do such a reckless thing at this time. Could it be that the regent controlled her or deliberately provoked her to make her do it?

If something like this happens, what good can he do if something like this happens?

Could it be that... Xue Rou'er immediately trembled, thinking that the regent didn't trust her and wanted to use this opportunity to test her. If she made the slightest mistake, he would immediately kill her and Zi Tong.

This is possible. After all, the regent is the kind of person who likes to be aloof. He is cautious and will definitely stabilize his position first and then think about expanding his territory.

After thinking so much, Xue Rou'er became relaxed. She took Huo Qilin's saliva and went back to carefully apply the wound on the regent.

When the regent saw that she was silent, he asked, "What's the matter?"

Xue Rouer bit her lip and said, "Where is Leng Die?"

The regent asked: "You want to see her? Why do you want to see her?"

Xue Rou'er said angrily: "I'll go find her to settle the score."

The regent pondered for a moment and said, "Someone, take her to the prison."

Xue Rou'er followed the guards towards the Tianlao. The Tianlao was very far away. It was on the edge of the palace and was heavily guarded. There were almost every sentry every five steps and a post every ten steps.

The door of the Tianlao is actually made of pure copper. It takes four people to open it. After entering, there is a courtyard, paved with bluestone bricks, and then there are the cells. The whole thing is black, and you can tell it is made of iron by touching it with your hand.

.

After entering, you are facing a long corridor with cells on both sides, which look like modern buildings. There is an iron door with a small window on the door for delivering meals. But what should I do if it is convenient for the prisoners inside?

Is there also a sewer?

She sniffed and found that there was no peculiar smell here, not even a musty smell, but the aroma of hay.

The guard said a few words to the cell leader, who led them inside and stopped in the center.

Xue Rouer checked and found that there were twenty-three cells behind her. Multiplied by two, there were forty-six cells. Leng Die was in the forty-seventh cell. Could it be that there were forty-six more people locked up here? Who were those people?

Regardless of all that, the cell leader opened the cell door and Xue Rouer rushed in.

There was a cross facing the door inside. Leng Die was not tied to it. She was sitting on the stone bed with her back to the door, holding a pile of straw in her arms for warmth.

"Who?" Leng Die asked hoarsely.

Xue Rou'er suppressed her emotions and said coldly: "Huh, can you tell if you turn around and take a look?"
