Chapter 236 Come again next time
"What's that sound? I just heard a scream. It wasn't you, was it?" Chu Leyi was looking at the murals carefully, memorizing them in her mind, but the sudden voice interrupted her.
"It's not me." Jiang Yunxi knew that he couldn't fool people.
"Who is it? Is there a ghost here?" Chu Leyi's beautiful eyes were bigger than copper bells, her hands were shaking uncontrollably, and her legs were trembling slightly.
"Yes, it is a ghost."
"Ahhh, where is the ghost?"
Jiang Yunxi patted the bag tied around his waist and said, "Here."
Chu Leyi's eyes widened again, "In, in that small bag..."
What is she talking about?
How could a ghost be in that tiny bag?
"Hurry up and look at the paintings. We'll leave right away." Jiang Yunxi said. They came here secretly and couldn't stay here for long, although no guards would come in to chase them away.
After all, they can't get in.
However, she was worried that the Imperial Master would discover something strange here.
When Jinxiu came out just now, she could clearly sense the power fluctuations in the altar. She even screamed and returned to the bag when someone attacked Jinxiu.
If the Imperial Master found out, he would definitely come here.
It seems that the emperor did not tell the imperial master about her and Zhan Beiyuan coming here that day, otherwise the imperial master would have looked for them long ago, right?
Chu Leyi's face was pale and her eyes quickly scanned the mural. She just wanted to leave this damn place as soon as possible.
"Okay, let's go."
"Make sure you remember everything. If not, come back next time."
"Let me take another look." Chu Leyi didn't want to do it again, so she had to watch it again.
Jiang Yunxi: “…”
She walked towards the entrance of the square altar. What was on the top layer?
That day, Meng Po said that she might never come out after going up there. She thought that the altar must have been arranged with a more complex and ferocious formation.
A moment.
"I remember, I remember everything, let's go quickly." Chu Leyi said nervously, looking frightened.
"Okay." Jiang Yunxi took her out quickly.
After leaving the side hall, Chu Leyi breathed a sigh of relief and asked quietly, "What's down there? Why are there so many bones? And what's in that secret room?"
Isn’t this the East Palace where the prince lives?
Why is it so weird?
"Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask. Just help me finish painting the mural. I won't treat you unfairly." Jiang Yunxi smiled gently. It seemed that the mural was not simple at all.
"Of course you can't treat me badly. I was almost scared to death just now." Chu Leyi stuck out her tongue. Today was the most terrifying day in her eighteen years of life. She was almost scared to death.
Jiang Yunxi smiled and said, "Don't worry."
Looking at her pale face, she was indeed very scared.
The two of them had just walked out not far when they saw Yuheng walking towards them in a hurry.
When Yuheng saw Jiang Yunxi, a sharp light flashed in his eyes. Why was she here? Could it be that the fluctuation in the altar before was caused by her?
No, impossible!
There was no way she could open the formation on the stone door.
Except him, no one else in Tamlong Kingdom can open it.
"National Master." Jiang Yunxi smiled calmly and greeted him. It seemed that he had indeed sensed the fluctuations inside before, and he came so quickly.
"Why are you here?" Yuheng strode towards her with a stern look on his face and full of displeasure.
"There's a dead air in there. I'll go in and take a look." Jiang Yunxi said frankly. If she said that she just wandered here randomly, no one would believe her, let alone the national teacher.
"How dare you! How can you come here? Where else have you been?" Yuheng said angrily. She actually went downstairs.
"Master, where else do you think I can go?" Jiang Yunxi had a half-smile on his face.
Yuheng looked at her without saying anything.
He must have been overthinking it. She definitely couldn't open the secret room and there was no way she could get in.
But just now he did sense the fluctuation of power at the altar.
"Hmph, don't come here again. This is not the place you should come." Yuheng said angrily with a dark face, and the anger in his heart was rising.
"Whether or not I should come is not up to the Imperial Master to decide." Jiang Yunxi said and left.
Chu Leyi hurriedly followed. Jiang Yunxi was too bold to speak to the imperial master like that. She had met the imperial master during the royal sacrificial ceremony.
You should know that the emperor respected him very much, spoke to him in a pleasant manner, and the ministers in the court were also respectful.
Perhaps only Jiang Yunxi dares to have such an attitude.
My sister, you are so awesome.
Yuheng looked at Jiang Yunxi's back, and was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, with anger burning all over his body. How dare a person from a small Taoist temple be so arrogant? Where did she get the confidence?
Next second.
He walked quickly into the side hall.
Regardless of whether Jiang Yunxi entered the secret room or not, she must have gone downstairs. Perhaps she wanted to open the secret room, but didn't, which caused fluctuations at the altar.
Yes, that must be it!
Yuheng quickly opened the secret passage. He walked through the corridor filled with deathly aura and finally arrived in front of a carved stone gate. There was a complicated formation on the stone gate, and no one could open it except the successive national masters of Tenglong Kingdom.
He took two steps forward, his hands constantly touching the stone door.
The stone door slowly opened.
Yuheng walked inside step by step, looking around with sharp eyes. It seemed that nothing had changed or was unusual.
Sudden.
His gaze fixed.
There were footprints, quite a few of them, and they were definitely not left by him, because he had not been here for a long time. No one had cleaned here for years, and there was already thick dust on the ground.
As long as someone has been here, they will definitely leave footprints.
who?
Who came in?
Jiang Yunxi and that woman just now?
No, it's impossible, absolutely impossible!
Yuheng's expression kept changing, his eyes were wide open, and he was about to break down!
How could someone come in?
Is it Jiang Yunxi?
…
Jiang Yunxi sent Chu Leyi to the Crown Princess and left. She went directly to see Emperor Su Ming, and coincidentally, Zhan Beiyuan was also there.
"Your Majesty, your humble servant greets you." Jiang Yunxi bowed.
"What do you want from me?" Emperor Su Ming's face was full of dissatisfaction.
"I just went to the underground of the side hall of the Eastern Palace. After leaving the hall, I ran into the Imperial Master outside." Jiang Yunxi confessed. She came to Emperor Su Ming specifically to talk about this matter.
"What!" Emperor Su Ming stood up suddenly. She had a face-to-face encounter with the Imperial Master?
Zhan Beiyuan looked at her and asked, "Did the Imperial Master give you any trouble?"
Emperor Su Ming looked at him coldly. Is this the point?
Jiang Yunxi shook her head at him, then smiled at Emperor Su Ming, "Your Majesty, why didn't you tell the Imperial Master about the last time I went to the secret room with Prince Han?"
Emperor Su Ming snorted coldly and said in a deep voice, "I don't want to cause unnecessary trouble. I specifically protected you, and you actually went there? Come, imprison Jiang Yunxi in the prison!"
