Chapter 749 Hallucination

Half an hour ago, Si Linglong woke up from chaos.

When I closed my eyes, everything around me was dark, without light or sound.

I wanted to move, but my hands and feet were tied. I wanted to shout, but no sound came out.

I could only rely on my instinct to prop up my body and push the space around me.

Then she found that she seemed to be trapped in a coffin.

No matter how hard she rolled, the wooden planks around her remained motionless.

Si Linglong suddenly thought of a possibility.

Could it be that Quanxian put her in a coffin and buried her?!

Thinking of that possibility, I thought of the people I had seen being put into coffins and buried alive.

Those people did not die of starvation, but of suffocation.

Even before he died, he was still struggling desperately, scratching his fingernails until they were bloody, and then died in despair...

Si Linglong couldn't help but tremble violently.

I never expected Quan to be so ruthless at his first attack.

As a mermaid, he doesn't even have the ability to fight head-on!!

mean!

Although she was cursing in her heart, she was indeed a little panicked, worrying that she would die before A Yue found her.

"Mmmm! Mmmmm!"

【Ayue, I'm here! 】

Si Linglong struggled desperately, her body swayed, and suddenly she felt a faint light in the dark space.

Light!

The presence of light means that this is not a sealed space.

Si Linglong turned herself over regardless of the stiffness of her body, and finally noticed a tiny hole at her waist.

Although it is not clear, it should be a small hole that was deliberately pierced.

Si Linglong seemed to have hope for a moment.

He turned over again and began to feel around behind him with his hands.

After a long while, she finally felt a protruding wooden splinter. She gritted her teeth and moved her entire finger towards the splinter.

The feeling of her skin being pierced made her hands, which had been numb due to the restraints, regain feeling.

After a brief feeling, I felt that my finger must have been pierced, but that was not enough.

Next, Si Linglong pushed the wooden thorn deeper and deeper until she could clearly feel the blood flowing out, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.

If she disappears in the palace, Xue Sha and Li Sheng will both come looking for her, but since Quan Xian has a way to block her brother's aura so that Li Sheng can't find her, he will definitely block her aura as well.

She didn't know if it would work, but the smell of blood was definitely stronger than her breath.

Since that hole is connected to the outside, maybe Xue Sha and Li Sheng can find her by following the smell of blood.

Right now, this is the only solution she can think of.

In a closed space, even if there are small holes for breathing, the air around it gradually becomes thinner.

Si Linglong knew that she could no longer struggle and gasp for breath. She had to ensure steady breathing and make sure there was enough oxygen in the coffin.

Si Linglong didn't know how long she had been waiting.

When vision and hearing are deprived, the flow of time begins to blur.

Just as she was in a daze, she seemed to vaguely see a ray of light flying out from the dim hole.

【Who are you? 】

She instinctively felt that the light was alive.

But she saw the ball of light flash before her eyes, and then quickly disappeared.

The surroundings fell into darkness again, and Si Linglong vaguely thought it was an illusion that she had fallen into despair.

[Am I going to die? I'm actually starting to see hallucinations? ]

What Si Linglong didn't know was that the ball of light drilled out of the ground along the bamboo tube and floated slowly towards the outside.

At this time, the palace was filled with imperial guards and palace servants searching everywhere.

All palaces, whether occupied or not, must be searched one by one.

This move soon aroused the dissatisfaction of the concubines in the harem. Shen Rongrong was the first to be angry.

"What on earth does the Emperor want to investigate? Why did he allow those imperial guards to break into the palace like they were searching for criminals?!"

Then I heard the palace maid next to me whisper,

"I heard that Concubine Lang is missing."

Shen Rongrong's heart trembled, "Lang Fei? She is fine..."

After a pause, he said dissatisfiedly, "Do you want to disturb the peace of the palace just for a concubine? Who knows if she is worried about her good brother and sneaked out of the palace?"

Shen Rongrong was muttering to herself coldly when she was suddenly kicked from behind.

She staggered and nearly fell forward. Just as she was about to turn her head to attack, she was met with the cold but sharp eyes of Concubine Quan. Her voice was clear and cold.

"Shut your mouth, or the Wu'an Marquisate won't be able to protect you."

Shen Rongrong opened her mouth to retort, but stopped talking when she met Concubine Quan's gaze.

Although both were descendants of military generals, she knew very well that she could not beat Gu Qingquan at all.

Especially when the other party is a concubine.

Just shut up.

Gu Qingquan couldn't help but frown as he watched the imperial guards and palace maids search Shen Rongrong's palace to no avail.

When Concubine Lang was confirmed missing, the emperor ordered someone to pass on the message to her.

After all, a concubine is needed to step forward to search the palace.

Gu Qingquan is the best candidate.

But now, most of the harem has been searched, but there is still no clue.

She was really annoyed.

Seeing the imperial guards leaving the palace, she simply raised her hand and signaled, "Continue searching, to the next palace."

As he was about to leave and lead people to the next place, he seemed to catch a glimpse of a ball of light passing by out of the corner of his eye.

She paused slightly.

He turned his head and looked in the direction where the ball of light disappeared.

As if possessed by some mysterious force, she suddenly raised her hand to signal the imperial guards, pointing to the intersection where the ball of light disappeared, "Search over there."

Lingsheng, who was in charge of leading the team, said, "Your Majesty, that is the direction leading to the cold palace. Eunuch Futai has already led people to search around."

Palaces like the Cold Palace, where no one is suitable for hiding, were the targets that Helian Yue initially ordered his people to search.

Gu Qingquan frowned, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Search again, I will go there in person."
