The emperor nodded and said, "Do you have any clues?"
Mo Xi said, "We discovered that the nanny beside the Queen Mother was colluding with a man in black in the cold palace. We also found some strange herbs and alchemy tools."
The emperor pondered for a moment and said, "It seems that this palace hides many secrets."
At this moment, a guard came hurriedly to report: "Your Majesty, a secret passage has been discovered in the cold palace."
The emperor frowned and said, "Secret passage? Take me to see it."
When everyone arrived at the cold palace, they saw the entrance to the secret passage hidden behind a pile of debris.
"Be careful, there might be a trap." Mu Feng warned.
The emperor said, "I want to see where this secret passage leads to."
Mo Xi walked into the secret passage first, and the others followed closely behind.
The secret passage was filled with a foul smell, and the torches on the walls flickered.
"Everyone be careful." Mu Li said.

"What is this place?" asked the queen in surprise.
There were all kinds of strange instruments and bottles and jars placed in the secret room.
Mu Li stepped forward to examine them: "Your Majesty, these appear to be tools used to make poison."
The emperor's expression grew even darker. "It seems this is where they make the poison."
At this moment, the sound of a mechanism being activated suddenly came from the secret room.
"Oh no, there's a trap!" Mo Xi shouted.
Countless arrows shot from all directions.
Everyone quickly dodged.
Mu Feng cast a spell to form a shield, blocking most of the arrows.
"Find an exit quickly!" said the emperor.
After some searching, they finally found the exit.
At the exit is a deserted palace.
"This is..." The queen looked at the palace in front of her and seemed to remember something.
"Queen, have you thought of anything?" asked the emperor.
The Queen said, "I remember that this palace was once the residence of a concubine of the late Emperor. Later, that concubine disappeared inexplicably, and the palace became deserted."
"It seems there must be something fishy going on here." Mo Xi said.
At this moment, a sinister laugh was heard from the palace.
"Hahahaha, you can't escape..."
