Everyone was preparing to leave when they suddenly heard Jun Baozhu calling out in her heart.
【not good! 】
The system revealed the latest situation of the palace to Jun Baozhu.
[No wonder, I always feel like there's something strange...]
[Although the fake queen mother was ordered by my father to be hunted down throughout the country, most of the ministers who defected to her were arrested...]
【But maybe there are still some fish that slip through the net. 】
[Even if there isn't one, there should still be spies from the South Red.]
[Anyway, no matter where it is, the palace is safe. ]
[Since Father has exposed her identity, and the places she often goes to are full of suspicious points, how could Father not send troops to investigate? ]
[But even so, she still went. The death of the prince consort was also closely related to her whereabouts.]
[If she hadn't fallen into the trap, maybe she could have become a pair of desperate lovers with her husband! ]
[What is it that has such a powerful magic that attracts her to go to the palace? ]
The emperor, empress and everyone else stopped and waited for Jun Baozhu to reveal the answer.
Jun Baozhu asked the system:
[What did the people from the Shen Family Company find in the palace? ]
[Blood? Fresh blood?]
【Then what? 】
[Seventh Prince's brother asked the people from the business to withdraw, took the token, and asked the imperial guards to mobilize local officers and soldiers? ]
The more this happened, the more solemn the expressions of the emperor and empress became.
The Crown Prince and the Second Prince looked at each other, and it was clear that they had guessed something.
Jun Baozhu was still curious and asked the system:
[What was discovered? Is it related to the fake queen mother? ]
[The secret of the great witch doctor? ]
[Fresh blood? What?]
【What?! Human?!】
Jun Baozhu raised her voice:
【Whose? 】
【What's going on? 】
[So, the reason why the fake queen mother took the risk and insisted on returning to the palace was to strengthen the mother Gu's control over the child Gu? ]
[Need human blood? A large amount of blood was found in the utility room of the palace? ]
[To kill so many people without being known by the government or others...]
[Indeed, the palace is safer.]
【But isn’t this the main reason? 】
What is that?
After listening to the system's further revelations and the latest developments, Jun Baozhu's chest heaved violently and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
[She insisted on returning to the palace, not only to use her blood to strengthen the mother Gu's control over the child Gu...]
[If it's just for the sake of blood and to avoid being discovered, there are still opportunities to do it in the wild in the suburbs...]
[Seventh Prince, the reason why you pulled out the guards of the company as soon as you heard the fur is that these are people trained by the Shen family for generations. It’s not that Seventh Prince doesn’t trust them...]
[But it is too important and will cause unrest in the government...]
[Seventh Prince brother is also protecting the Shen family. ]
The hall was quiet for a moment.
After hearing what Jun Baozhu said, the emperor felt more and more that he had underestimated the courage of the great witch doctor.
After her breathing became smooth, Jun Baozhu spoke out the most shocking truth in her heart in the calmest words.
[After discovering the blood and the suspicion of the Shen family guards, the Seventh Prince stopped them from investigating further.]
[Let the guards in and find something suspicious about the brick wall of the utility room. There is a clear echo behind the wall, and there seems to be a cry for help...]
[The guards were well-trained and did not rush in rashly. After reporting this to the Seventh Prince, the Seventh Prince was worried that the guards were too few and not enough to deal with the situation, so he ordered the officers and soldiers to be mobilized.]
[After breaking the wall, the scene inside shocked everyone! ]
[The ground was littered with corpses, some in prison uniforms, and some dressed like foreigners.]
[Through the passage behind the wall, it seems like entering an underground palace. ]
【Enough to accommodate thousands of people.】
[It is called an underground palace because its roof is almost level with the ground outside.]
【Release air and light through the shelter. 】
[The palace was very large, and the shouting attracted the officers and soldiers inside.]
[The officers and soldiers walked in and were stunned! ]
[I saw a huge space, several times the size of the palace's outer hall, separated by iron bars thicker than my wrist...]
[A dozen people with strangely pale skin, wearing prison uniforms, stared blankly at the person who suddenly broke in...]
[The officers and soldiers revealed their identities and asked who they were. These people suddenly realized what was happening, squatted down, held their heads, and burst into tears! ]
[After they calmed down, we learned from them that they were from Xiangshan.]
[Being deceived by a local merchant into coming to Taifeng to trade under the pretext of an employment relationship...]
【As a result, I was brought to this dark place. 】
[It is said that the first person to be imprisoned was more than ten years ago. Among these dozen people, the longest imprisonment was several years.]
[What are you doing here? You don't have to do anything, you are provided with food and water, and you are not allowed to work, but you will be examined regularly.]
[Until one day, the people around me were taken out, usually a dozen or more, and at very regular times.]
【Those who were taken out never came back.】
[The officers and soldiers asked them if they knew the whereabouts of the people who had escaped.]
[These people smiled miserably and asked the officers and soldiers, "Is there any need to ask this?"]
[Even if I can't see it, even if the underground palace is large and I can't hear any noise outside...]
[But the screams of dozens of people can still reveal some clues. ]
[Another example is the smell of blood carried in by the wind. ]
Jun Baozhu asked the system:
【All those who were taken out died? 】
