Chapter 299 The dream of becoming an immortal!

Then the three of them saw a lot of soldiers gradually coming out and searching everywhere.

The current location of the three of them generally wouldn't allow them to find him immediately, but it was only a matter of time. The most important thing now was to find a place to hide.

Mu Nanzhou whispered in their ears, "Follow me!"

Then he grabbed one in each hand and dragged them to a rocky area.

Xu Yanyi asked in confusion, "What is this for?"

"Just follow me." Mu Nanzhou immediately opened the passage on the ground, then jumped in first, and said to the two people above, "Come down quickly, let's go through the secret passage."

He was stunned for a moment, but reacted quickly. Following the rebels' jump into the secret passage, Mu Nanzhou lit the tinder immediately, and soon there was light in the secret passage.

Seeing that this secret passage was relatively hidden, Xu Yanyi asked in surprise, "This should be your first time here, how did you know there is a secret passage here?"

Even the eldest princess didn't know there was a secret royal base here, let alone this secret passage. How did Mu Nanzhou know about it?

As he led the two of them forward slowly, he said, "I was brought here by the emperor in the name of hunting, but I was actually already on guard. After all, they have always wanted to get rid of me, a thorn in their side."

Speaking of this, Xu Yanyi believed it. After all, it was because of his comfort in this matter that she was somewhat dissatisfied with herself.

"Also, the Emperor did not choose to hunt in the Royal Hunting Grounds, but brought me here instead. There must be something fishy going on, so I was a little more cautious."

"Today, when I was drinking, I found that my wine was drugged. This must have been done by the emperor. Otherwise, no one would dare to do such a thing under the emperor's nose."

Xu Yanyi clenched her fists unconsciously. It seemed that the Emperor and the Queen Mother were really Mu Nanzhou's tricks. If it weren't for Mu Nanzhou's intelligence, Mu Nanzhou would probably not be alive today.

"Then how did you escape?" There was some worry in her tone, afraid that he had paid some price.

Mu Nanzhou smiled and said, "Of course I didn't drink that glass of wine. I just pretended to drink it but actually vomited it, and then pretended to faint and was helped back to the house to rest. Now no one knows that I am still awake, and no one comes to disturb me, so I have the opportunity to sneak out, know this secret passage, and meet you."

Xu Yanyi recalled the descriptions of the two guards and combined them with what Mu Nanzhou said, and she roughly understood what was going on.

Feng Xuanling suddenly asked, "Have you ever met the late emperor?"

Mu Nanzhou's eyes suddenly trembled, and then he stared at him straight.

He knew that it would be a bit abrupt to ask this question suddenly, so he quickly explained, "We just met a palace maid on the way here. She said that she had seen the late emperor here and that the late emperor was not dead." Mu Nanzhou looked at Xu Yanyi, and she nodded repeatedly, "Yes, that's right. What the palace maid said was very true, so we don't know if it's true or not."

Mu Nanzhou was silent for a long time, and finally turned around and told the two, "You are right, the late emperor is indeed not dead."

Xu Yanyi and Feng Xuanling were suddenly shocked.

It seems that this thing is true!

Mu Nanzhou did not hide it from the two of them, "In fact, I had already found evidence that the late emperor was not dead before you came."

At this point, he also looked at Xu Yanyi, "Before, you were slandered for waiting for the rebels to enter the city, and you were even slandered for killing the late emperor. In fact, all of this was just a trap."

"What do you mean?" Xu Yanyi was a little bit incredulous. She always felt like she was about to know something she didn't want to know.

"In fact, the late emperor believed the rumors and wanted to pursue immortality. He got a piece of news from somewhere and also got a recipe for immortality. However, this recipe requires a great price."

Feng Xuanling seemed to have thought of something, "Could it be blood?"

"That's right, not just blood, but a lot of blood!" Mu Nanzhou nodded and said, "This recipe requires the blood of hundreds of thousands of soldiers as a sacrifice, so the rebels killed so many people after entering the city three years ago. In fact, it was paving the way for this incident. It's just that the late emperor concealed this matter and even blamed all the troubles on you. In the end, he even found a substitute to die in his place. In fact, he himself did not die at all, but was hidden in this imperial mausoleum!"

Now Xu Yanyi no longer had any confusion. It turned out that all this was caused by her father's evil deeds.

She asked with a trembling voice, "Do the Emperor and the Queen Mother also know about this?"

In fact, when she asked this question, she already had the answer in her mind, but she still wanted to confirm it.

really!

Mu Nanzhou told her, "The Emperor and the Queen Mother do know all this, and they are willing to cooperate with the late Emperor to accomplish this."

"They are confused!"

"In fact, they are also doing this for their own benefit." Mu Nanzhou explained, "The late emperor promised that after he ascended to heaven, the country and the throne would be inherited by the emperor, and he would personally assist the emperor, so they are naturally in the same boat."

Xu Yanyi's eyes were filled with disbelief. The emperor had already ascended the throne, yet he had hurt so many people for this unwarranted title.

What's even worse is...

"My father actually killed so many people for these imaginary things, and even put the blame on me, his own daughter. I can't believe this really happened. Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, so how could he do that!"

Feng Xuanling was also somewhat puzzled. "If it is true as the prince said, then when Xiaguan led his troops into the city, he did see a woman who looked exactly like the princess. If that woman was really not the princess, then who was she?"

Xu Yanyi tried hard to calm herself down and did not answer him for a moment. It was Mu Nanzhou who told him, "In fact, that woman is just a close maidservant of the eldest princess. She grew up in the palace and knows the eldest princess's behavior very well, so she can imitate it."

"The most important thing is that this woman knows hypnosis. She dressed up as the eldest princess to get to know you secretly and seduce you. Then she used the identity of the eldest princess to hypnotize you and brainwash you. So you naturally think that person is the real eldest princess."

After hearing this explanation, Feng Xuanling couldn't believe it and stepped back repeatedly, "Impossible, the person I saw in my mind was really the eldest princess, there is no way someone was impersonating her, this matter is too strange."
