Su Mengyan was naturally delighted to hear the news, but she was still a little worried. She couldn't help but ask Situ Yao, "Your Highness, the Third Princess isn't someone who can be manipulated easily. Will she be willing to go along with the marriage?"
The Third Princess was a person with a very high opinion of herself. Not to mention a marriage alliance, she didn't even take the noble sons in the capital seriously.
When reading the original novel, Su Mengyan once wondered whether the third princess was planning to become emperor herself.
"This is not her decision." Situ Yao changed into plain clothes and said lightly.
Su Mengyan was about to ask Situ Yao what he was going to do when a eunuch suddenly came anxiously outside the door.
"Your Highness, this is bad. It rained heavily last night and the rainwater is leaking. I'm afraid the Empress's underground palace has been completely flooded."
When Situ Yao heard this, he immediately stood up, hurriedly put on his shoes, and followed the eunuch towards the underground palace.
Su Mengyan hesitated for a moment and decided to go over and see what was going on.
The few of them soon arrived at the gate of the underground palace, only to see the guards and eunuchs guarding the mausoleum clearing the accumulated water one after another.
Situ Yao stood at the entrance of the mausoleum, his face very grim. "Someone, go get Song Yu and let him take a good look. This is the imperial mausoleum that he selected and supervised."
This was a very serious accident. The queen's coffin was placed in the mausoleum. The emperor was not dead yet, but the underground palace began to leak water seriously, causing the queen to rest in peace underground.
However, Situ Yao and Su Mengyan waited for a long time but did not see Song Yu coming. The sky became darker and darker, the candlelight flickered, and the entire imperial mausoleum had a strange and gloomy feeling.
Su Mengyan listened to the crows calling from the tree and couldn't help but said, "Your Highness, why don't we go back first? Something seems to be wrong."
Situ Yao looked at her deeply, ignored her, and walked deeper into the underground palace.
This is a blatant trap!
There was no one outside, and Su Mengyan was extremely panicked. She couldn't help but have some thoughts of backing out, but if she didn't stay with the male protagonist to show her loyalty at this time, how could she be trusted later?
Thinking of this, she could only grit her teeth and follow.
A lot of the accumulated water in the underground palace has been cleared, but there are still water stains. When you step on them, your soles feel cold.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, where are you?" Su Mengyan called cautiously.
In the blink of an eye, the gentleman disappeared.
When she reached the fork in the road and was struggling to decide, she heard a noise. Turning back, she saw that the gate was slowly closing.
She turned around and rushed over, shouting as she ran: "Don't close the door, Situ Yao is still inside."
However, no one paid any attention. Only a sneer was heard from outside, followed by the sound of a stone door slamming heavily to the ground.
Torches were burning on both sides, and the surroundings were surprisingly quiet.
She was so scared that she wanted to stay where she was and wait, but the sound of weapons coming from not far ahead forced her to get up and investigate.
According to the protagonist's halo law, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely not die easily. If you want to save your life, hold on to the male protagonist tightly.
Just like that, Su Mengyan hurriedly ran towards the direction where the sound came from.
When we got deeper, we saw only several corpses dressed in guards' clothes.
"Your Highness, where are you?" Su Mengyan asked tremblingly.
Her trembling voice spread throughout the tomb passage. The deep end seemed to have no bottom, and she became even more frightened.
Su Mengyan shouted a few more times, but still no one answered.
She had to squat down and pick up a knife on the ground. As she walked, she carefully looked around, fearing that something terrible would suddenly jump out and take her life.
However, the more you fear something, the more likely it will come to you.
As she turned a corner, a hand suddenly grabbed her foot.
