"The map is engraved in my head. Just follow me. It's the map of the secret rooms of the palace that Yin Jun gave me." An Xiyue lied.
In fact, she deduced it based on the map of the underground palace. In her previous life, she had only gone in once and only glanced at the iron scroll.
An Xiyue took out a handkerchief from her waist, poured the powder from a small medicine bag onto the handkerchief, quietly opened the door, held the handkerchief under the breath of the two nuns and fanned it, making sure that the nuns were completely asleep before saying : "Now we can leave safely and boldly, as long as we get back before dawn."
Fortunately, the West Palace was deserted, and it was the depth of winter, so everything was quiet.
After Nangong Yuanyi asked her where she was going, he took her waist and led her forward quickly.
Soon, they came to a more dilapidated and messy courtyard. With the faint light of the fire folding box, An Xiyue found the entrance Yin Jun mentioned.
The entrance is under the bed board. When you open it, you can see a stone bed. There is a mechanism next to the stone bed. An Xiyue pressed it lightly, and the stone bed opened in response. Nangong Yuanyi didn't even know that there was such a mechanism in this palace. organ.
As soon as he entered, he felt like he was in a different world. Nangong Yuanyi joked: "If Yin Jun hadn't been hanging out with Lan Guiren, he would be really talented. He can find this kind of place. No wonder they dare to do that unscrupulously. It's simply It is unforgivable and an insult to the dignity of the royal family."
An Xiyue rolled her eyes at him, "This is not what your Nangong clan's ancestors allowed."
Nangong Yuanyi was immediately speechless, "How do you say this? What does it have to do with the ancestors of the Nangong family?"
"Have you forgotten that when we were in Nanshan, we entered the formation taught by Wenshan Taoist, the founder of Piaomiao Villa? He personally told me that your Nangong clan would produce the first emperor of all ages, and he also said that he would be the Emperor of the Underworld. I didn't expect that he would be the emperor of the underworld. Princess Lingjing destroyed his achievements. These secret passages were probably made by the old Taoist and were allowed by the Nangong family’s ancestors. Aren’t they convenient for future generations?”
An Xiyue almost gritted his teeth and said again: "I think it was Old Master Wenshan who made a miscalculation, made a mistake, and regretted it, so he asked Princess Lingjing to be his backer."
Nangong Yuanyi felt that the reason she was looking for was too far-fetched, but let it be what his wife said. He also said: "Indeed, when the Northern Dynasty was building the palace, an expert had given guidance. It is not surprising that there are these secret rooms and hidden palaces."
"Throughout several generations of emperors in the Northern Dynasties, only the crown prince and the current emperor can enter the secret chamber." Nangong Yuanyi added.
Soon, they came to a stone door. Nangong Yuanyi looked around for Huo Zhezi and whispered: "Did Mr. Yin tell you where the stone door mechanism of this secret room is?"
An Xiyue shook her head and said she didn't ask in detail.
On the other side, Emperor Nan took Prince Yu directly back to the imperial study and ordered Eunuch Fu to stay outside the palace.
King Yu knew that the imperial study room was an important place in the palace and was guarded by secret guards all around. No one could enter without the emperor's permission.
"Your Majesty, why are you bringing a minister into the secret room? Our ancestors have long established the rules. No one is allowed to enter except His Majesty and the Crown Prince. Otherwise, it will be against the ancestral precepts." Prince Yu said.
Emperor Nan brought the prince here this time for a purpose.
The emperor ordered: "Rui'er, hold the lamp."
The prince respectfully lit the oil lamp on the wall. This was the first time he entered the secret room. After he was established as the prince, he knew that he was carrying the heavy responsibility of the Nangong family and guarding the country of the Northern Dynasty. At the same time, he also knew that there was such a person in the Northern Dynasty. Secret room.
The oil lamp slowly turned on, illuminating every corner of the secret room in an instant.
On the wall were portraits of the emperors of the Northern Dynasties. Nangong Rui knew that when he ascended the throne, his portrait would also appear on the wall of this secret room, where he would be admired by future emperors of the Northern Dynasties.
