A series of images and thoughts flashed through Xu Yuehuai's mind, as if she were searching for some possible clue.
She walked quietly to the mummified corpse, carefully avoiding the bones that were likely already fragile.
Xu Yuehuai gently reached out and touched the mummified body, as if searching for some kind of mechanism or secret switch.
Just then, Qi Guze walked up to her. He saw Xu Yuehuai's focused and determined gaze, and a feeling of admiration welled up in his heart. He knew that Xu Yuehuai must be searching for some important clue, which might be their only hope of escaping.
"Quick! The mechanism seems to be right here!" Xu Yuehuai tried to move the mummified corpse, but found that it seemed to have merged with the ground.
Qi Guze also reached out and, together with Xu Yuehuai, gently moved the mummified corpse aside.
Just as they moved the mummified corpse, a faint light shone from beneath it, illuminating their faces. To their astonishment, they discovered a hidden mechanism beneath the corpse.
They immediately activated the mechanism, and with a loud bang, the door to the secret chamber burst open.
A breath of fresh air rushed into the sealed room, instantly invigorating them. They looked at each other and smiled, their hearts filled with joy and excitement.
Qi Guze patted Xu Yuehuai's shoulder excitedly, his voice trembling as he said, "You are truly my lucky star! If it weren't for you, we might have been trapped and died in that secret room."
Xu Yuehuai smiled faintly and said modestly, "It's nothing, I just happened to think of it."
They decided to return to the palace entrance via the secret passage. In the passage, they supported each other as they walked.
Although this adventure didn't bring any tangible gains, it made them cherish each other and every moment of their lives even more. They knew that no matter what difficulties and challenges they might encounter in the future, as long as they worked together, they would be able to overcome any obstacle.
On their way back, they frequently reminisced about the details of their adventure.
Those thrilling moments and heartwarming scenes intertwine to form a beautiful picture.
They looked at each other and smiled, their hearts filled with gratitude and happiness.
After walking through the secret passage for some time, they finally saw a faint light at the entrance.
They quickened their pace, heading towards the light. When they emerged from the secret passage and stood once again at the palace entrance, they were filled with awe and gratitude. They looked back at the passage that had once led them to their doom, their hearts brimming with emotion and relief.
Qi Guze knew that it was Xu Yuehuai's wisdom and courage that allowed them to escape danger and regain their freedom and hope.
He held Xu Yuehuai tightly, their heartbeats seemingly merging into one, pounding together in the silent night. The palace lights flickered around them, casting dappled shadows, but could not conceal the determination and resolve in their eyes.
"I'm so glad you're alright," Qi Guze's voice was deep and gentle, like a night breeze rippling across a lake. He held Xu Yuehuai tightly in his arms, as if he wanted to meld her into his body and never be separated from her. "Let's go back together!"
Xu Yuehuai nestled in Qi Guze's arms, feeling his warmth and strength. She nodded gently, her voice trembling slightly, "Okay, let's go back together."
They quietly left the palace and returned to their room in Anshou Palace. They remained silent the entire way, as if afraid to break the hard-won tranquility.
However, their hearts were filled with doubt and unease.
What exactly are those hidden things?
Where was it moved to next?
These problems weighed heavily on their minds, making it difficult for them to let go.
Qi Guze looked at Xu Yuehuai's furrowed brows and gently took her hand: "Don't worry, we will find it someday." His voice was gentle and confident, as if it could dispel all the gloom.
Over the next few days, they continued searching for clues around the palace. However, despite searching every corner, they found nothing unusual.
As the days went by, Xu Yuehuai grew increasingly anxious. She couldn't help but doubt whether her judgment and abilities were sufficient to handle everything.
There was still no word from the Ghost Doctor's side. This made Xu Yuehuai even more uneasy.
She was unsure whether she should continue waiting or take more proactive action.
However, a voice in her heart kept telling her: I can't give up like this!
During this time, Qi Guze stayed by Xu Yuehuai's side, offering her endless support and encouragement. They spent many long and anxious nights together, discussing possible clues and plans. Their relationship grew even closer and deeper during this difficult period.
One night, when Xu Yuehuai was once again unable to fall asleep due to anxiety, Qi Guze quietly walked to her side. He sat on the edge of the bed, gazing at Xu Yuehuai's face with eyes full of care and tenderness.
"Yuehuai, don't worry too much," he said softly. "I know what you're thinking, but please believe that we will find the truth."
Xu Yuehuai turned to look at Qi Guze and said seriously, "I am really worried that those hidden things will bring even more trouble to the four countries. I do not want the four countries to be in turmoil again."
“Our children are still young, and I hope they can live in a peaceful era, just like the world I live in.”
“There are many more innocent people in the four countries, and they should not be dragged into the troublemakers.”
Qi Guze gently pulled her into his arms and patted her back softly, as if to tell her that no matter what difficulties she faced, he would always be her strongest support.
"Don't worry, everything will be alright with me by your side. They want to throw the four countries into chaos, and I'll be the first to object."
"No matter where they are in the world, I will definitely find them all."
His voice was deep and powerful, full of determination and domineering presence, which made Xu Yuehuai feel extremely at ease.
In Qi Guze's broad-minded embrace, Xu Yuehuai found a moment of peace.
Her previously anxious eyes gradually calmed down under Qi Guze's reassuring words. Her brows relaxed, as if a heavy stone had been lifted, and her tense nerves were given a brief respite.
As night fell, the two figures clung tightly together. Xu Yuehuai leaned against Qi Guze's chest, listening to his strong heartbeat and feeling his warmth and strength.
She closed her eyes, letting the warmth and strength permeate every cell of her body, dispelling all the troubles and anxieties in her heart.
Qi Guze looked down at Xu Yuehuai in his arms, his eyes filled with tenderness and affection.
He knew she had been under a lot of pressure and trouble these days, and needed a strong shoulder to lean on. He was willing to be her safe haven, to shelter her from the storm, and to let her find peace and tranquility in his arms.
