Chapter 192: The Secret Room of the Imperial Palace

The prince almost bit his silver teeth to pieces. He said angrily, "I'm fine. I'm in good health!"

An Yunxi looked the prince up and down with a look of contempt.

"I didn't see it. Can the prince prove it?"

"I"

She knew how to leave him speechless.

An Yunxi seemed to have spikes all over her body. He couldn't even touch her. He

would be stabbed and bleeding if he approached.

After An Yunxi changed the subject, the prince didn't care about the person who had set the fire and was dragged away.

His eyes were red as he said, "Uncle Xian, you are in charge of the harem today. My East Palace was burned. You are also responsible no matter what. You must compensate me!"

An Yunxi crossed her arms over her chest and snorted with dissatisfaction.

"Hmph, Your Highness the Crown Prince is really boastful. It is true that the prince is in charge of many things in the palace, but it does not include your East Palace. The East Palace is your private bedroom. Who dares to send people to search it? If there is any poor guarding, it is also your people, Your Highness the Crown Prince. Don't put all the responsibility on others!"

Ling Fengxian's phoenix eyes were full of endless smiles.

The dark blue eyes seemed to hide stars.

The corners of his lips were slightly curved, with an extremely doting and approving smile on his face.

What Xiao Xier said was right.

It simply made him very happy.

The prince's ears were buzzing with anger, but An Yunxi's words made him unable to refute.

He glanced at the East Palace where the fire was still spreading not far away, glared at Ling Fengxun fiercely, and walked over with a wave of his sleeves. He had to take charge of the situation personally to prevent the entire East Palace from being burned down.

An Yunxi narrowed her eyes, and the firelight was reflected in her beautiful eyes.

Ling Fengxun patted her back gently, "Okay, don't get angry with yourself."

An Yunxi raised her eyebrows and said nonchalantly, "Why should I be angry? I'm telling him the truth, and I'm telling him that even if he's the crown prince now, no one will get used to him."

The previous emperor had just passed away, and although the crown prince was about to ascend the throne, it was still unclear who would hold the real power.

When the previous emperor was alive, Ling Fengxun was the regent of Beiling State. Now that the previous emperor was gone, how could he, a crown prince, use his little arms to twist his thighs?

An Yunxi wanted to see if the crown prince was willing to be the puppet emperor.

Even if he doesn't want to, there are still people who are willing to do so

. She touched the key in her hand, "Prince, why don't we go to the emperor's bedroom and take a look at what the imperial edict hidden in the secret room says? I feel uneasy if I don't solve this matter as soon as possible."

Ling Fengxun nodded slightly.

Ling Changyue is already a mature prince, and he should learn to put out the fire in his own East Palace.

Tonight, everyone in the palace is sleepless, and the entire harem is in chaos and crying.

Ling Fengxun returned to the bedroom where Emperor Beiling died.

The emperor's body has been carried away, and there is no one outside. The few palace servants who came towards him walked hurriedly, saluted Ling Fengxun and An Yunxi, and then left quickly.

Soon there were no people here.

Ling Fengxun then took An Yunxi's hand and led her into the room.

An Yunxi's eyes fell on the dragon bed where the emperor had slept before.

She said, "Prince, my third brother said that the secret room he found was on the wall behind this dragon bed."

Ling Fengxun nodded slightly, "You stand here and wait, I'll go and take a look."

This kind of thing is not convenient for the servants to know.

So he had to do it himself.

Ling Fengxun stepped to the side of the bed and checked the wall inch by inch with his hands.

He knocked hard, and the sound from behind was indeed unusual. He

accidentally saw a hole at the head of the dragon bed.

He put the key that An Yunxi handed him into the key, and with a slight force, a slight "click" sound was heard.

Ling Fengxun's eyes were fixed on the place where the sound came from, and he saw that the originally flat wall slowly cracked, and a secret door quietly appeared in front of him.

A series of clicking sounds came from the friction of the mechanism, and the secret door slowly opened.

A deep and dim secret passage, extending steeply downward, like an endless big mouth, wanting to swallow people.

The secret passage extends downward, a little narrow, and can only accommodate two people walking side by side at most.

It was pitch black below, and it was difficult to see what was there. All the way down, it was a dark room buried underground.

An Yunxi came over excitedly, with a look of surprise and curiosity.

"Your Highness, there really is a secret room!"

Ling Fengxun narrowed his eyes, then picked up the candlestick on the table next to him and said to An Yunxi, "I'll go down and take a look first. Xiao Xier will stay here to help me guard the door."

An Yunxi blinked, "Okay."

In order to reassure Ling Fengxun, she found a place to sit down safely.

"Your Highness, you go first. If there is no danger, call me again."

Ling Fengxun curled his lips.

He touched An Yunxi's head and breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she was really well-behaved and obedient now.

He walked in with the candlestick, used the candle inside to light all the candles on the wall, and then walked down step by step.

Ling Fengxun's speed was neither fast nor slow, and he was very cautious.

After all, this is the imperial palace. The secret rooms built by the royal family usually have special functions and are extremely dangerous.

An Yunxi sat obediently by the bed and waited. As soon as Ling Fengxun left, the surroundings became extremely quiet.

Suddenly, An Yunxi's ears moved.

She seemed to hear a little rustling sound coming from outside the palace door.

Squinting her eyes for a moment, An Yunxi let down the curtain outside the bed, then turned over lightly, jumped out of the window, and landed outside the palace.

She didn't say anything, but just happened to see a figure at the doorway looking in furtively. She slapped the man on the shoulder with her footsteps almost without making any sound.

"Why don't you go in and take a look?"

The figure shuddered with fear. He

immediately turned around and knelt on the ground.

"Greetings, Regent Princess. I just came back from seeing His Majesty off, and I thought there was a thief in here."

The man who spoke in a panic was a eunuch.

An Yunxi recognized the other person. He was the emperor's personal eunuch, Eunuch Wu.

This man was deeply trusted by the emperor. An Yunxi felt that he must know some secrets about the emperor.

An Yunxi immediately smiled and did not avoid him. "It turned out to be Eunuch Wu. Tell me what you want to say."

Eunuch Wu immediately lowered his head and followed An Yunxi closely.

After he entered the hall, he immediately discovered something was wrong behind the dragon couch, and a look of worry appeared on his face, "Princess, please let the prince come out quickly. The dark room is very dangerous. It is where the emperor keeps his beloved things. There are many mechanisms. If someone who doesn't know goes in, I'm afraid..."

An Yunxi frowned slightly.

She suddenly heard some more chaotic sounds coming from the dark room, and many noises of debris falling to the ground, and hurried to the entrance of the dark room.

"Prince?"

The voice could be transmitted.

She also heard Ling Fengxun's voice echoing in the dark room.

The voice was accompanied by a slight panting, and the breathing became heavier.

"The king is fine."
