Chapter 25: Emptying Ye Jingchuan's Secret Room
There were no lights on in the courtyard where the study was located, and it was so dark inside the pavilion that nothing could be seen.
But this did not pose a problem for Ye Chutang who had night vision goggles.
The hall on the first floor is used for entertaining people, with a study on the left and a lounge on the right.
The layout of the study is similar to what is shown on TV.
The same goes for the mechanism in the secret room.
At first glance, the shiny bronze "Horse Stepping on Flying Swallow" on the antique shelf is it.
Ye Chutang turned the Pegasus and a clicking sound was heard.
The bookshelf moved away, revealing a stone door.
There is a combination lock on the door related to the twenty-eight constellations.
The lock should be opened frequently to clearly see that some positions are smoother and cleaner.
"It's such a hassle. It looks like there's something in the secret room."
As the heir of a family of ancient martial arts masters who specialize in medicine and poison, Ye Chutang studies everything related to "ancient".
With the "hint", it was not difficult for her to open the password.
After trying more than ten times, the stone door opened.
Behind the stone door was not a secret room, but a long and narrow staircase extending downwards.
The stairs are paved with bluestone slabs, and the other three sides are smooth stone slabs.
The light was too dim and I could vaguely see holes in the stone slab.
It should be an agency.
"Tsk, tsk, why is it like a tomb?"
After Ye Chutang finished complaining, he squatted down.
She took out a military knife from the space and pried up a piece of bluestone.
Hands feel the dirt beneath the slabs.
After using the earth-related ability to sense the structure under the stairs, he easily avoided the mechanism.
Under the stairs is another coded stone door.
After opening the stone door, there is a huge space.
There is a huge luminous pearl on the top, emitting a light green glow that illuminates the entire secret room.
Ye Chutang took off the night vision goggles which were a bit dazzling.
The secret room contains not only gold, silver, jade, antique calligraphy and paintings, but also out-of-print books.
There are also weapons and food!
She knew that Ye Jingchuan was a princeling.
But if these things were prepared for the prince, the queen would never let Ye Anling marry Eunuch De.
Therefore, Ye Jingchuan secretly selected another prince to support.
"He's not very capable, but he's quite thoughtful."
Ye Chutang knew very well that it was impossible for weapons to enter the Shangshu Mansion through the open route.
There must be a secret passage leading to the outside in the secret room.
She found the secret passage.
Teleporting to the end, I found it was a wine cellar.
Above the wine cellar, there was a lot of noise, it was either a brothel or a restaurant.
Ye Chutang did not go to check. Thinking that the wine cellar was the property of the Ye family, he unceremoniously took a few jars of good wine into the space.
Then he returned to the secret room along the same route.
She searched around and found a secret compartment in a golden Buddha statue.
The secret compartment contains letters between Ye Jingchuan and the crown prince and the second prince.
The letter is short, but every word is to the point.
Ye Chutang quickly pieced together a rotten imperial power.
The emperor was obsessed with cultivating immortality and was either making elixirs or building Taoist temples.
Not only does it cost the people a lot of money and time, but in order to fill the holes, the people's taxes have to be increased.
The government was controlled by the eunuch Eunuch De.
This eunuch was a mentally abnormal person, obsessed with beauty, and brought chaos to the court.
In order to make money, the prince embezzled disaster relief funds and withheld food and wages from the soldiers at the border.
The second prince manipulated the imperial examinations to cheat, formed cliques for personal gain, and used boys' blood to make elixirs for the emperor.
Ye Chutang has been somewhat cold-blooded and heartless since childhood.
After experiencing the cruel and selfish end of the world, no one and nothing can affect her emotions anymore.
But now she was so angry at the filthiness and absurdity in the letter that she was suffocating.
"This Zhao royal family, quickly wipe them out!"
After cursing, Ye Chutang entered the lounge of the space and put the letter into the drawer.
She drank some ice cola to reduce her fever while looking at the busy space.
"We have to find a way to earn merit points and upgrade the space."
In ancient times, there were no zombies or mutated plants and animals that endangered human safety, so the only thing we could do was kill the bad guys and save the good guys.
The bad guys she now knows are the royal family and Eunuch De.
But these people are related to the country's destiny and cannot be touched easily.
Otherwise, it is likely to cause unrest in the world and bring suffering to innocent people.
"Then we can only save King Chen."
After Ye Chutang finished speaking, he went to the warehouse where the medicinal materials were stored.
The fire poison of King Chen has already entered his heart and lungs. It can be said that he has one foot halfway into the coffin.
He is not so easy to save.
If she didn't have the medical space passed down for thousands of years by an ancient martial arts family, she really couldn't have been saved.
There are several warehouses, and Ye Chutang went to the breeding area.
Time in this space is still, and no living creature can enter except the owner.
But it can hold small living things with medicinal value.
In space, they do not grow or move, just like dead objects.
Once you make space, it comes alive immediately.
There are many medicine cabinets in the breeding area, and each drawer is labeled with a name.
There are common things like centipedes, ants, earthworms, etc.
There are also long-extinct phantom spiders, ice leeches, frost cicadas, etc.
Ye Chutang walked to the innermost medicine cabinet and found the drawer where the ice leeches and frost cicadas were located.
Ice leeches are extremely cold, and when they suck out the fire poison in King Chen's body, they will also cause him to be infected with cold poison.
At this time, we need to use cold-loving frost cicadas to detoxify.
The ice leeches are wrapped in ice and are ready-made, but they are a little small and need to be raised first.
Frost Cicada, she was used at the end of the world, but before she had time to hatch new ones, the last egg lay on the ice.
Ye Chutang raised the corners of his lips, "Prince Chen is quite lucky."
The frost cicadas have long been extinct, and each one is gone.
After she placed the ice leeches and frost cicada eggs into the lounge, she moved the containers that still had some space.
The empty space is just right for storing things in the secret room.
After searching the secret room, Ye Chutang put on night vision goggles and returned the same way.
at this time.
Ye Jingchuan brought his bodyguards to Ningchuyuan.
A group of people looked at the empty yard and were dumbfounded.
Ye Jingchuan broke into Ye Chutang's boudoir and looked at the "barely-clad" room with a face so gloomy that water seemed to drip out of it.
From the time the maid went to the Glass Courtyard to the time he came back from the Glass Courtyard, it took no more than two incense sticks of time.
Where are the things in Ningchuyuan?
Even if there was a thief, how could the thief steal such a large step-out bed?
The night wind blew, making the bamboos rustle.
A chill rose from the soles of Ye Jingchuan's feet, making his hair stand on end.
He immediately returned to the courtyard and said to the guard, "Go and bring that maid over here!"
It doesn’t matter if things are lost, but Ye Chutang must not be lost!
As soon as Shuang'er called the court doctor to Liuli Courtyard, she was brought to Ningchu Courtyard by the guards.
Ye Jingchuan slapped Shuang'er on the face.
“Bang!”
This was his third slap today, and he finally succeeded.
His left hand trembled with excitement and the corners of his mouth were raised.
"Tell me! Where's the young lady?"
Shuang'er's face was hit and tilted to one side, and her mouth was full of the taste of rust.
She swallowed the blood in her mouth and raised her hand to point at Ye Chutang's boudoir.
"The eldest lady and Shan'er both fainted in the room."
Ye Jingchuan snorted coldly, "Go find the young lady!"
Shuang'er stood up with a confused look on her face, walked quickly to the window and opened it.
She looked at the empty boudoir, her eyes as big as bells.
Where are the people?
What about the objects in the room?
She turned around and knelt down, her face as pale as paper, making her bloodstained face look like a ghost.
"Master, when this servant went to Liuli Courtyard to look for Madam, Ning Chuyuan was still fine, and the young lady and Shan'er had fainted in their boudoirs."
After saying this, she was afraid that Ye Jingchuan would not believe her, so she immediately raised her hand and swore.
"If I tell a lie, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death!"
“Boom!”
Thunder roared at the right moment, frightening Shuang'er so much that she almost fainted.
"Master, I really didn't lie!"
A strong wind came and blew her words into pieces.
Ye Jingchuan saw that the storm was about to come and had no time to care whether what Shuang'er said was true or false.
He rubbed his throbbing temples and looked at the guard.
"Hurry up and gather everyone to search for the young lady in the mansion. Don't leave any corner unsearched!"
The Shangshu Mansion was heavily guarded, and it was impossible for Ye Chutang to escape quietly.
"Yes, sir."
"Wait, go find all the people who appeared near Ningchuyuan within two incense sticks."
