...
On the mountain wall behind Chongyi Hall, there is a mechanism door.
The mechanism door has forty-nine protruding stone nails. They must be pressed in the correct order to open the door. Making a single mistake will trigger a barrage of poisonous needles from the door; being hit by any of them will result in certain death.
Fu Yunchen stood in front of the mechanism door and pressed the stone nails one by one. With a rumble, the mechanism door opened.
Mu Run, carrying the child, followed breathlessly, "How is he?"
“He will be safe and sound,” Fu Yunchen replied.
Mu Run looked at Tuan Tuan, "That would be for the best!"
Fu Yunchen carried Tuantuan through the mechanism door, and Mu Run followed with Huanhuan inside.
After she went inside, the door closed automatically.
This is Fu Yunchen's private treasure vault. He keeps almost all the treasures he's collected over the years here, including the mother Gu that unlocked the Heart-Eating Gu.
Mu Run looked at the piles of gold, silver and jade artifacts, as well as the rows of calligraphy and paintings by famous artists and rare books on the bookshelf, each piece of which was extremely valuable.
Huanhuan took a fancy to a jade doll carved from a piece of fine jadeite, which was over a foot tall and had an adorable, innocent look.
"Mom, I want to hug that baby."
"You can look, but you can't touch." She can't afford to pay for it if it gets damaged!
Fu Yunchen turned around and said to Mu Run, "It's okay if you hit him."
Mu Run was speechless. "I think I've figured you out now. When you have your own children, you'll definitely be a doting father! But you'll raise them to be arrogant, domineering, and willful."
He already has a child... Fu Yunchen looked at Tuantuan sleeping peacefully in his arms, and saw his eyebrows and eyes that resembled his own.
My doubts grew even stronger.
However, there are ways to test whether two people are related by blood.
Mu Run had no idea what Fu Yunchen was thinking; seeing his serious expression, she became increasingly worried.
Fu Yunchen walked to a niche containing a jade Buddha statue, and reached behind the statue...
Upon touching it, his expression changed drastically!
They removed the jade Buddha statue again!
The hidden compartment inside was completely empty!
"What's wrong?" Mu Run asked quickly when she saw that he looked unwell.
Fu Yunchen said, "That's all."
"What's gone? The mother Gu?"
"..."
Fu Yunchen remained silent.
Mu Run peered into the niche, but there was nothing there.
"You, think again, maybe you put it in the wrong place."
No, it won't.
Fu Yunchen carried Tuantuan out again.
There are two guards at the entrance to the back mountain.
Fu Yunchen went over and asked, "Has anyone entered the mechanism door?"
One of them said, "Your Majesty, the traitor Liu Lao Er once went in with Lao Sun, the deputy head of the Mechanism Hall."
Old Sun was one of the people who helped build this mechanism, so solving it wasn't difficult. And when Liu Lao Er left, he took him with him.
"Summon the head of the Punishment Hall to Chongyi Hall," Fu Yunchen said, his face extremely grim.
Qiao Dongzi arrived at Chongyi Hall in a hurry.
Seeing Fu Yunchen sitting at the head of the table, holding Tuantuan with a solemn expression, and Mu Run sitting on the left, holding Huanhuan with a bewildered look, they immediately realized that something serious had happened.
"Boss."
Where is Liu Lao Er now?
"Hongmi wrote that her people found Liu Lao Er in Xiangcheng. Liu Lao Er was accompanied by a woman in a black robe who was extremely skilled in martial arts. According to the description, she looked like Xiao Cao from Huang Cheng Si."
"Little Grass!" A terrifying rage suddenly ignited in Mu Run's eyes!
"He gave the mother Gu to Xiaocao!"
"What?" Qiao Dongzi was taken aback, then looked at Mu Run and understood, "Hasn't your sister-in-law's Heart-Eating Gu been cured yet?"
