Chapter 338 Replacing the Crown Princess
This phoenix is very big, with its head in the middle of the hot spring pool, but its long tail drags all the way to the other side of the pool.
Shangguan Nanxing no longer hesitated. He flew forward, tapped the hot spring water with his toes, and using the force to gain momentum, he came directly to the phoenix's wings. After finding a suitable position to stand, he began to explore carefully.
"Yuer, there doesn't seem to be any mechanism." After Shangguan Nanxing felt around, he looked at Su Yue not far away.
When Su Yue heard Shangguan Nanxing's words, she did not rush to answer. With the help of the faint light, she wrote down all the places Shangguan Nanxing touched, and there was indeed nothing she missed.
But her intuition told her that there was definitely something wrong with this phoenix statue.
Su Yue stood in one place and couldn't see anything, so she started walking around. Finally, when she reached a certain position, she discovered the difference in Phoenix's eyes.
This carved phoenix seems to have something in its eyes.
"Nanxing, press its eyes." After Su Yue finished speaking, she quickly ran behind the phoenix. Sure enough, there was a narrow path at the tail of the phoenix by the pond, leading directly to the neck of the phoenix, and Shangguan Nanxing was standing on this path at the moment.
Shangguan Nanxing heard this and reached out his hand to press Fenghuang's eyes.
Shangguan Nanxing only felt that he pressed something, and accompanied by a slight click, a cut actually appeared on the phoenix's back.
The opening on each side was not small, at least it could accommodate a person of normal size. Su Yue walked forward carefully and saw a long stone staircase leading down. There was a faint light inside.
"There is indeed a problem." Su Yue was delighted when she saw the secret door. Standing in this place, she couldn't see what was inside at all. She still had to go in and take a look.
Then Su Yue felt scared when she thought about how she almost burned down the house. If the guards didn't put out the fire in time, and if the Crown Princess was really in it, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Nanxing, let's go in and take a look." After Su Yue said this, she and Shangguan Nanxing walked directly to the secret passage.
Just as the two were about to go in, they suddenly heard the shouts of an assassin outside, followed by the sound of weapons clashing. Su Yue and Shangguan Nanxing were stunned, then they walked in without hesitation and closed the secret door above their heads.
The two walked down the stairs, and after about forty or fifty steps, they saw the situation below. At the end of the stairs was a place as big as a normal room. There was a simple table near the wall, and there seemed to be some food on the table. There was a bed in the middle, and there seemed to be a person lying on it.
Because there has been no light for a long time, there is a very strong musty smell here.
"I'll do it." Su Yue saw someone on the bed and was about to go over to take a look, but Shangguan Nanxing directly grabbed her and motioned him to go up and be careful of any trap.
"I've already told you that I don't need you here. I'm already in this state, how can you run away? Don't stay here and disgust me. Get out now."
Just when Shangguan Nanxing wanted to get closer to the Crown Princess, a soft cry interrupted Shangguan Nanxing's steps. He stopped and looked at Su Yue.
"Excuse me, are you the Crown Princess?" Su Yue asked uncertainly.
"Who are you?" The woman on the bed heard the unfamiliar voice and her tone changed, no longer as aggressive as before.
"I am here to rescue you on the orders of the prince."
Su Yue felt a little relieved when she heard that the woman on the bed did not directly deny it. However, if she wanted to confirm whether she was really the Crown Princess, she had to go up and touch her herself to be sure.
"Prince? This place is really dangerous. You should leave quickly. Tell the prince that Rou'er is a useless person. It's not worth it for him to do that. You should leave quickly."
Because her paralysis had worsened, the Crown Princess was now unable to even turn her head. She could only stare at the darkness above, her tone sounding a little lonely.
"Princess, if you don't mind, let me show you."
Su Yue took a few steps forward, and when she was still some distance away from the person on the bed, a silver needle quietly came out and pierced directly into an acupuncture point. If the person on the bed was normal, this kind of pain would be absolutely unbearable.
Although it is now basically certain that the person in front of us is the Crown Princess, it is still better to be cautious.
"My paralysis is probably incurable. It's useless. Look, no one is watching me because they know I'm a useless person."
The Crown Princess smiled with a hint of sarcasm, not realizing at all that Su Yue had just made a move.
Seeing that the woman on the bed did not respond, Su Yue completely let down his guard and walked up to the woman.
"My apologies, Princess." Su Yue walked up to the Princess and lifted her wrist to feel her pulse carefully. The situation was urgent and she had to move faster.
"Crown Princess, I'm going to give you acupuncture to clear your meridians, but you've been lying down for too long, so you may not be able to stand up right away."
Su Yue looked at the Crown Princess and spoke sincerely. With the help of the light, she could see clearly how Mo Jingchen had been thinking about the Crown Princess. On her palm-sized face, she had a pair of charming eyes. Perhaps because of long-term paralysis and no sunlight, her skin color was unnaturally pale.
"You mean my paralysis can be cured?" When the Crown Princess heard Su Yue's words, her expression lit up and she asked hurriedly.
"Well, it's just the blocked tendons that cause the inconvenience in movement. The situation has become more serious due to lying down for a long time. I will clear it for you."
After Su Yue finished speaking, he took out a silver needle and started to act carefully. Shangguan Nanxing had already run to the secret door at this time. If anyone came in, he could kill them immediately.
After all, when he and Yue'er came in just now, it seemed that someone had broken into the yard, so it was better to be cautious.
A cup of tea later, as Su Yue pulled out the silver needle, the Crown Princess miraculously felt a tingling sensation in her body.
This feeling was extremely uncomfortable, as if she was being poked by countless needles. However, for her, who had been paralyzed for a long time and had no feeling in her body, this was a great surprise.
"Crown Princess, although I was entrusted by the Crown Prince to rescue you, I have no evidence in my hand. If you trust me, can you come with me?"
Su Yue only spoke at this time and told her plan.
"I believe you." The Crown Princess enjoyed the tingling pain coming from her body and believed Su Yue's words without hesitation. After all, she did feel something after the acupuncture by the girl in front of her. If it was Concubine Qin's people, there would be no need to go through so much trouble.
Su Yue smiled lightly when she saw that the Crown Princess agreed without hesitation. This was why she had wasted time treating the Crown Princess even though she knew that acupuncture would not allow her to stand up immediately.
She wanted the Crown Princess to see her strength, otherwise why would anyone believe her without any evidence?
Since the Crown Princess agreed, now they have to think about how to transport her out. Nan Xing definitely cannot carry both her and the Crown Princess alone. At this moment, a bold idea emerged in Su Yue's mind.
"My apologies, Princess." After Su Yue finished speaking, she looked out Shangguan Nanxing was not there, and started to take off her clothes and the Princess's clothes. The Princess was stunned at first, and then seemed to think of something.
"Are you going to replace me?" The Crown Princess exclaimed in a low voice.
"Well, this is the only feasible method now. Nanxing, come here." After Su Yue changed their clothes, she whispered towards the secret door.
When Shangguan Nanxing came back, he found that Yue'er and the Crown Princess had changed their clothes.
"Yuer, this is too dangerous. I won't allow you to do this." Shangguan Nanxing instantly realized Su Yue's plan. He quickly stepped forward and looked at Su Yue, wanting to stop her.
"Nan Xing, it's impossible for you to leave safely with two people by yourself. I have given acupuncture to the Crown Princess. As long as you practice slowly during this period of time, you will have no problem standing up. The most urgent thing is to send the Crown Princess out first. After it is safe, come back to pick me up."
Su Yue looked at Shangguan Nanxing and spoke to comfort him. After all, this method was indeed the best solution right now.
