Late night.

Su Changzhao opened his white wrists in the moonlight pouring down on the windowsill.

Where there was originally a red mole on the forearm, a faint line of blood was now slowly seeping towards the elbow.

Once the blood line spreads to the upper arm, it changes from light red to dark red and then to black.

Then her death is not far away.

After putting on her nightgown, she flew out of the window.

It has been more than ten days since I came to the Fengdu Palace, and there is less than two-thirds of the time left to complete the task.

Nearly twenty days was more than enough to search the last three places where the orbs might be hidden.

But carelessness leads to the loss of Jingzhou, so naturally this kind of thing should be done as soon as possible.

She came to Tang Chuyuan's bedroom with light movements.

It was after midnight.

It is the time when people are fast asleep.

According to the information provided by the Qing Kingdom's spies, she quickly found the secret room in the bedroom.

The countless treasures displayed inside did not attract her attention.

No matter how precious and rare the item was, it could not make her stop for a moment.

After searching every corner carefully without any results, she quickly returned the same way, but halfway through, she accidentally discovered a secret passage in the secret room.

While there was still time, she carefully entered the secret passage.

I found that there were no mechanisms in the secret passage.

I couldn't help but wonder, could this just be a secret passage?

There was an oil lamp every three steps on the stone walls on both sides.

This oil lamp is cleverly designed.

Once there is no oxygen in the aisle, it will extinguish itself, and will reignite if fresh air flows in.

Su Changzhao stared at the darkness at the end and couldn't help wondering: Where does this secret passage lead to?

After coming out of the secret door, she found herself in another palace.

But it was obvious that she was no longer in the Golden Palace.

The surroundings look unfamiliar.

This proves that she must not have been here before.

However, in the entire palace, the only places she had not had the time to visit were the Empress and Concubine Bai Shu's.

So, is this one or the other?

Looking at the empty and magnificent palace, Su Changzhao still cautiously explored inside.

She stopped when she heard some noise.

Knock, knock, knock…

This slight noise would definitely not be heard during the day.

Because it's too light.

That is to say, only in the dead of night like now can you hear a little.

Knock, knock, knock…

If you listen carefully, it sounds like something hard is scraping against the wall.

Su Changzhao followed the sound.

I found a wall, but there was nothing else but the wall.

And the strange sound was clearly coming from the direction of the wall intermittently.

To confirm, she tiptoed over to the wall and put her ear close to it to listen.

knock!

knock!

There were two consecutive sounds from the wall, causing her to take a step back immediately.

! !

She immediately realized that there was a layer inside the wall!

At this moment, the mark on the forehead appeared.

The next second, an incredible scene happened on the wall in front of him.

Two small doors suddenly appeared on the wall that was empty just now.

In this way, the knocking sound just now became clearer.

She subconsciously reached out to pull the ring on the door.

The moment the door opened, I saw a middle-aged woman with hollow eyes sitting inside.

Judging from her face and facial features, the woman must have been a great beauty when she was young.

Unfortunately, he has suffered mental torture for many years and is now old and ugly.

Who is she and why is she imprisoned here?

Su Changzhao just thought so.

The other person's fingers were still making a scratching motion in mid-air, which just explained where the 'knock knock' sound heard just now came from.

As if she had come to her senses, she raised her eyes gloomily and found that Su Changzhao was not the one who locked her up here.

He immediately rushed towards her excitedly, grabbed her clothes, and babbled.

"Aaaaaahh, mmmmmmmm!"

Su Changzhao also happened to see the emptiness in her mouth.

There is no tongue!

Seeing that the other party was harassing him like a madman, and her screaming would attract more people, Su Changzhao quickly knocked her out with a knife.

The tongueless woman fell to the ground.

Seeing how pitiful she was, Su Changzhao wanted to take her away, but then he thought, where can she put such a big person? What's more, she didn't even know the other person's background.

I had no choice but to push the person back in and close the door.

The two doors magically became invisible in the wall.

After going through so much, Su Changzhao was no longer surprised. It was just that the person who cast this deception was about to be revealed.

She seemed to have guessed whose territory this was.

Looking at the empty wall, although she felt pity for the tongueless woman, even if she was an unforgivable villain, being sealed in the wall for years, with her tongue pulled out, living an inhuman life, suffering like this, any grudges should be resolved, but she thought again, without knowing the whole story, it would be inappropriate for her to interfere.

So, who is this tongueless woman?

At this time.

There was light and footsteps in the distance.

Someone is coming!!

The next second, Su Changzhao was quickly pulled into a corner by someone and hid.

Su Changzhao originally wanted to attack the other party, but when she smelled the other party, she immediately gave up the idea.

Then, as the light grew brighter, footsteps were heard nearby.

Even without looking, Su Changzhao could tell from the direction and strength of the footsteps that the man must have arrived in front of the strange wall.

soon.

There was the sound of a door opening.

The person who came seemed to be confirming whether the woman locked inside the door had escaped.

Su Changzhao was somewhat relieved that he had not rescued the person just now, otherwise he would have been discovered.

I thought the other party would leave after checking, but who knew——

"Are you still pretending to sleep?"

A man's voice.

It sounds a bit old, but still sounds good.

But even she, an outsider, could hear the coldness and disgust in his words.

The person he was talking to was undoubtedly the tongueless woman, and there was a loud bang.

The tongueless woman seemed to be pulled out of the door roughly by him and fell to the ground.

"You are particularly restless tonight~" the man's cold voice sounded faintly.

The tongueless woman seemed to wake up. She looked at the man in front of her in horror, shook her head desperately, turned over and lay on the ground, trying to crawl away!

But how could a man give her this opportunity?

He just lifted it up gently, and the tongueless woman was grabbed by the collar with one hand and lifted up high.

As if to appreciate her painful expression, the man deliberately shone the oil lamp in his other hand onto the woman's face.

“Hahaha… look at you… hahaha… where is your former spirit left… hahaha…”

The firelight cast the shadows of the two people, just on the ground where Su Changzhao was hiding.

Just by looking at his shadow, she could feel how cruel this man was.

What kind of hatred could make a person become like this?

Suddenly.

The night wind blew open the windows near them.

The perverted man suddenly stopped laughing, "Who!"

He shouted angrily in the direction where Su Chang was beckoning them, threw the woman in his hand to the ground, and walked over to check.

Su Changzhao's heart tightened: What bad luck! The wind came just in time, blowing away their door. What should we do? Fight directly?

She roughly guessed the identity of the outsider.

A man who lives in such a big palace and is proficient in strange magic.

Apart from the former Holy Son of Yujiang, and now Concubine Bai Shu, there is no other choice.

If it were someone else, Su Changzhao would not be afraid at all, but now she has to face the Son of the Territory.

If she were alone, it would probably not be difficult to escape unscathed, but now... there were more than just her.

She quietly raised her head and looked at the tall and thin man who was pressing her against the wall.

Seeing the other party's handsome face solemn, his long eyes were always paying attention to Bai Shufei who was gradually approaching here...

Yes, he is Yu Jiuchen.

But Su Changzhao couldn't understand why he came?

Da da!

But right now, none of this matters. What matters is that they are about to be discovered.

Su Changzhao could clearly feel that Yu Jiuchen was afraid, because his hands... were shaking...
