“Look what this is.” He threw out a box containing different human skin masks.

Having grown up surrounded by such things, Gu Jingxing and Li Zixiao were already quite adept at cross-dressing, which further convinced them that there was something wrong with these two!

"These two human skin masks look exactly like the Queen's son!" Gu Jingxing quickly took out the photos the Queen had given them from his pocket, compared them briefly, and immediately understood, "It seems they usually use human skin masks to disguise themselves!"

"Hmm, it looks pretty good." A sharp glint flashed in Li Zixiao's eyes. "But if we only rely on this to prove that the two little princes are imposters, it's probably far from enough. We need other evidence!"

However, this alone is absolutely not enough to prove their innocence. After all, the other party could easily claim that the human skin mask was just a hobby of cross-dressing, and then turn the tables and accuse them of framing and slander.

Just as the two children decided to search for some more useful evidence, footsteps suddenly came from outside the door, followed by the voices of two men talking—

"Brother, the situation is bad. The dungeon was just blown up! Could those two brats have been rescued?"

"I wonder if they've managed to win over Gu Momo? Gu Momo and Li Zhanting are such a handful!"

"Sigh, never mind that. Let's change our clothes first and then hurry up and report to Mother!"

The next second, the door lock turned, and Li Zixiao and Gu Jingxing exchanged a glance before immediately hiding behind the bookshelves in the study.

The two of them squeezed into a small double-door bookcase. Gu Jingxing didn't know if he accidentally pressed some button, but suddenly the wooden panel they were leaning against "whoosh" and tumbled upwards, and the two little ones fell right inside.

"Ah..." Gu Jingxing subconsciously wanted to make a sound, but Li Zixiao was quick to cover his mouth.

When they came to their senses, they discovered that there was a hidden world behind the bookshelf, a sight that left Gu Jingxing and Li Zixiao speechless!

It seems that the rumors of secret passages in the royal palace are not just imagination, but something that existed in almost every dynasty, and it is not surprising at all in modern times.

However, the secret passage was small and poorly lit, and it was located in the room of these two fake princes, so it's no wonder they had their suspicions!

Li Zixiao could only take out the small flashlight he carried with him and walk forward in the light:

"Let's look ahead, maybe there's something hidden in there."

Soon, the secret passage widened and widened, and faint light began to seep through.

As the two passed through the secret passage and their view widened, a huge cage made of welded steel bars, holding dozens of people, appeared before them. These people were ragged and covered in wounds, with blood constantly dripping from their skin onto the ground.

Gu Jingxing and Li Zixiao gasped sharply. Good heavens! Is this hell?!

The people in the cage were utterly astonished when they saw the two little creatures, and their bloodied, ferocious faces were revealed:

"Who are you? How did you get in?! Where is that old hag?! Where is she?!"

Some women, disheveled and filthy, screamed and desperately pleaded for help: "Help! I don't beg you to spare me, but please spare my child! My child is only three years old, what has he done wrong! Please spare him!"

Li Zixiao's delicate face furrowed slightly as he walked to the front of the group, his handsome face displaying composure and calmness.

"Who are you people? Why are you being held here? Is the prince of Kingdom Y holding you here?"

Upon hearing the word "prince," the old man spat in disgust. "Pah! The ones in Y Country now aren't princes at all! Someone's impersonating them! And all of us here were imprisoned because we discovered this secret! These bastards, they've colluded with the Emperor-Slaying Alliance; they're practically trying to push Y Country into a fire!"

At this point, the old man's eyes were filled with even more indignation, his gaze seeming to want to tear the person to pieces:

"I am Marquis Louis of Country Y. Beside me are Earl Gu En and Marber. We used to serve in the royal family, but we were imprisoned here because we accidentally discovered the secret of the prince's impersonation! These bastards, they don't want us to live!"

Li Zixiao and Gu Jingxing looked at each other, and both of them saw shock in each other's eyes!

He had heard that a group of royals, led by Louis, were arrested and expelled from the country for rebellion, never to return to Y country for the rest of their lives. His family was also despised by Y country, and even their servants were reduced to beggars on the streets who were hated by everyone.

Little did they know that this was just a false accusation put on them by the fake queen, and that they themselves had been imprisoned in such a place!

Louis continued, “Behind me are real estate tycoons from Country Y, as well as some technology experts, and even some ordinary civilians. We were all arrested for the same thing. They often torture us severely, forcing us to confess their identities. But we have never yielded, and we never will! As long as we get out, we will definitely not let those bastards get away with it! Country Y belongs to us, and those bastards should get out of Country Y as soon as possible!”

The Y people are simple and honest, and their ancestors were wild grassland people. They despise doing things against their conscience and succumbing to evil forces.

Moreover, this is a matter concerning the fate of the nation!

"Alright! We'll let you out now, but you have to promise not to hurt us. We'll take you to a safe place!" Gu Jingxing's eyes darted around, and he immediately ran to the cage and grabbed the steel bars.

"Don't touch it!" the person in the cage cried out anxiously, "It's dangerous!"

Gu Jingxing was startled and quickly withdrew his hand. "Is there any poison on this steel bar?"

The old man at the front shook his head. "There's no poison, but there's an electric current!"

As she spoke, she pointed to the control panel in the far corner: "This is a trap that those bastards set up here to prevent us from escaping! Anyone who touches this will be burned by electric current, which is why they didn't kill us; they want to use us as bait!"

Gu Jingxing then discovered that this seemingly simple cage was actually connected to a computer, and even opening the cage door required a password. To prevent anyone from forcibly sawing through the steel bars, the cage was even electrified.

The old man looked at the two children, both under five years old, and sighed, "They can't save us. Even an adult can't decipher these things, let alone two children. You should leave now; we don't want to drag you down with us!"
