Chapter 355 Why is it empty?
"Empty?" Gu Xiaoxi leaned over to take a look in disbelief, and the coffin was indeed empty.
Ye Lixuan didn’t understand either. He had clearly seen the corpse just now, so why was it empty?
Gu Xiaoxi thought for a moment and said, "Maybe he touched some mechanism. Let's wait and see."
So everyone looked outside quietly.
Master Jin was not surprised to see this situation because he had seen such situations before.
"Don't panic, you touched the mechanism, look around." He said calmly.
So, Master Jin and his men circled around the coffin, and soon they touched several mechanisms.
After seeing the punishment from those agencies, Ye Lixuan realized how powerful Gu Xiaoxi was. This was a matter of life and death.
After the whole process was completed, half of the people around Master Jin were missing, and a corpse was finally seen in the coffin. Master Jin's eyes turned green when he saw the jade pendant in the corpse's hand.
"Found it, finally found it." He took the jade pendant from the old emperor's hand and laughed excitedly.
At this moment, the stone gate opened and Duanzi rushed in with a group of people.
Master Jin quickly put away the jade pendant and took a few steps back. His men rushed forward to cover his retreat.
Gu Xiaoxi was not in a hurry to leave because everyone was curious about the true identities of Duanzi and the others.
"Ye Lixuan, what is the identity of the concubine who lives here?" she asked Ye Lixuan.
"There were several concubines buried with the deceased. It's hard to guess who they were unless you see what they looked like." Ye Lixuan shook his head.
Gu Xiaoxi thought about it and asked No. 2 to bring the portraits of the people he saw.
Ye Lixuan still shook his head after reading it: "I have never seen these people. I can only wait until I get back and let the people around my father take a look."
"In that case, we have to go back and draw the appearance of the prince. It would be even better if we could draw the appearance of the concubine, so that we can know the answer faster." Gu Xiaoxi felt that the trip should not be in vain.
"This is very dangerous." Ye Lixuan was worried about Gu Xiaoxi's safety.
"It's okay, I'm capable enough, and with the protection of the space, nothing will happen." Gu Xiaoxi patted Ye Lixuan, then walked out of the space and walked back along the original path.
Now that I know the route, I can go much faster than before.
She returned to that floor and saw some slaves running around. She wondered what had happened.
"It seems that something has happened here, otherwise it wouldn't be so chaotic." Ye Lixuan muttered to himself.
Gu Xiaoxi stood aside and listened to the conversation of those people.
She learned the residence of the concubine from what those people said, and she avoided those people and came to the secret room where the concubine lived.
The door of the secret room was closed, and she couldn't go in now. She could only return to the space and wait for an opportunity.
Gu Xiaoxi returned to the space and No. 3 had prepared the food. They could only eat light meals here, otherwise they would be easily discovered when they went out even with the invisibility talisman.
So they ate while paying attention to what was happening outside.
There were more and more people outside, and soon the slaves could be seen being escorted in. After about an hour, a stone door next to them opened and a man walked out.
The man had an ordinary appearance. Number Two took a picture of him and then quickly drew a sketch and handed it to Ye Lixuan.
"What happened?" the man asked, grabbing a slave at random.
"Prince, a lot of tomb robbers came today, and the old emperor's tomb was also opened. Our people are almost overwhelmed." The servant reported truthfully.
"The old man's tomb has been opened?" The prince was surprised.
"Yes, a very powerful master came and took away the jade pendant from the old emperor's hand." The servant continued to report.
"What?" the prince exclaimed after hearing this.
The servants knew that the prince was angry and didn't dare to say anything.
The prince did not blame the servants, but knocked on the stone door next to him.
Crunch!
The stone door opened and he walked in quickly.
Gu Xiaoxi quickly followed and immediately returned to the space after entering because she was still eating and was afraid that the smell would be too strong and she would be discovered.
However, the prince couldn't help but look back. When he didn't see the servant following him, he turned his head away.
"Your son greets your mother!" He stepped forward and saluted his mother.
"Has the prince's retreat ended?" The voice of the person behind the curtain was a little hoarse.
After hearing this, the prince said anxiously, "Just now, the servants told me that the old man's tomb was opened and the things inside were taken away."
After hearing this, the concubine still said calmly: "Your master has passed away. You don't have to worry too much. Just practice well."
The prince understood that his mother had always been worried about his cultivation, but his body was really not doing well, otherwise he would not have not made any breakthrough until now.
"Mother, I failed again this time." He looked apologetic.
"Don't worry, my son. Your master's elixir will be ready soon, and it will naturally help your inner strength.
No matter what happens, you will be the emperor in the future, so you must maintain a steady mindset." The concubine's voice always maintained that steady feeling.
After hearing these words, Gu Xiaoxi and Ye Lixuan understood that the reason they had not gone out for so long was because they were waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to rebel.
"These people want to rebel, so they must have prepared a lot of things!" Ye Lixuan became a little worried after hearing this.
Although the court is a little chaotic now, and the eldest prince has repeatedly attacked them, after all, they know both themselves and their enemies. This prince who suddenly appeared is unknown to them at all.
Gu Xiaoxi put down her dishes and went to brush her teeth to get rid of the smell on her body before leaving the space.
After coming out, she held her breath and carefully stopped outside the curtain. Unless someone opened the curtain, she would be exposed if she touched it.
The curtain was swaying, and you could vaguely see a woman wearing a mask and gorgeous clothes sitting inside.
The mask is covering the face tightly, so you can't even see what it looks like?
In desperation, Gu Xiaoxi could only ask the robot to draw the appearance of the mask.
Then, I can only stay here and wait.
The Concubine Dowager is most likely their leader and should be able to get important information here, so she has no plans to change places for the time being.
Back in the space, she continued eating, then asked the robot to record their conversation and listen to it over and over again.
After leaving the Concubine Dowager, the prince felt uneasy and decided to go and see what was going on.
Gu Xiaoxi couldn't talk to too many people, so she could only sit back and wait.
After the prince left, the curtain was finally lifted, and a nanny came out looking for something. Gu Xiaoxi took the opportunity to sneak in.
