When the footsteps came, Qiu Xiaobei didn't have time to think about it, it was dark in front of her, all the lights in the red lanterns were extinguished, and when the light source appeared again, it was the guard behind Fan Shenxi who came in with a handheld lantern of normal color in her hand, and she subconsciously looked towards the place where the red lantern was hung before - where were there any red lanterns, some dilapidated doors and corridors, and nothing was hung.

Looking under the tree again, the black-haired woman was gone.

"What are you doing climbing up a tree?"

Fan Shen looked at a certain eunuch squatting on a tree with a dark face, his face darkened.

Look at those women in the palace who are pregnant and have a terminal illness, they can't stand it if they walk a few more steps, and their little eunuch is good, and he can climb trees!

Even Lin Ziyi's expression was a little difficult to describe, this was probably the most lively pregnant husband he had ever seen...... Well, he hadn't met any other pregnant men either.

"Hehe," sensing the prince's anger, Qiu Xiaobei smiled, "The slave will go down." ”

"Wait!"

Fan Shenxi saw her tentatively stretching out a leg, and shouted to her in fright: "How do you want to come down?" ”

Qiu Xiaobei said: "Of course you climb down!" ”

"You ......" Fan Shen stammered, "You give the palace a good stay on it, don't move, do you hear it." ”

Qiu Xiaobei shrunk his neck: "Oh." ”

She seems to have made His Royal Highness the Crown Prince angry, what to do, how to coax him, wait on the tree, anxious!

"Hachi."

Hearing Fan Shenxi shouting this name, Qiu Xiaobei immediately looked curiously, especially on the rooftop and other places, thinking about what kind of person would fly out.

And then...... Then she saw out of the guards a man who was too ordinary to be ordinary, and when he came over, he jumped up to her, grabbed her arm before she could react, and then threw herself on, and she fell to the ground smoothly.

She looked curiously at Hachi, who let go of her after a moment, and saw him return to the group in silence, as if he was just a passable ...... Ordinary guards.

However, Qiu Xiaobei only dared to peek a few times, the prince's face was almost blackened into charcoal, how could she dare to look at others in front of him again, so she naturally immediately came to the prince's side and apologized with a smile: "Your Highness, don't be angry, the slave just ...... I was careful not to let myself do anything at all, and the minions were in the trees and found something very interesting. ”

Fan Shenxi glanced at her, the meaning was very clear, and he would settle accounts with her when he went back, and while motioning for Lin Zi to check on her, he asked coldly, "What did you find?" ”

One hand stretched out to let Lin Ziyi take the pulse, and pointed to a certain position on the tree: "Your Highness, you can let people go up and find out." ”

Fan Shenxi made a move, and a real guard climbed up the tree, Qiu Xiaobei followed and looked up, as if expecting the guard to find something, his mind had already drifted to another place.

She was thinking about Concubine Li.

She could feel that Concubine Li really wanted her to help, otherwise she wouldn't have noticed the corpse here, but when she really brought the prince to find the corpse, she seemed to be angry and didn't want people to find out, so she ...... Inconsistent, I can't guess what this concubine wants.

"Your Highness, there is a discovery."

The shouts of the guards on the trees brought her back to her senses, and she saw that the guards had carefully uncovered a piece of bark, and under the bark was a small hole the size of a palm and a finger high, with a small switch that moved up and down.

This small hole is in the corner between the branch and the trunk, and the bark looks intact, plus a few dead leaves falling there, if Qiu Xiaobei hadn't squatted at that time and touched a little gap with his hands, it would have been really difficult to find.

After the guards described what they looked like to Fan Shenxi, Fan Shenxi directly asked him to try it, and when the guards pressed the switch, waiting for the sound of breathing, a small door popped out of the thick tree trunk in front of them.

The so-called small gate is actually the bark of a tree, only half a person high, half a meter wide, the diameter of this tree is nearly two meters, this door is on the huge trunk, it is nothing.

Another guard stepped forward and opened the door of the tree, and inside was a hole that took up about a quarter of the size of the entire tree, so to speak, hollowing out a quarter of the tree to make a secret passage into the ground.

Fan Shenxi asked people to investigate first, and he himself looked at Lin Ziyi, who had just finished diagnosing his pulse and put down his hand: "Your Highness, Gonggong Pei is fine." ”

Qiu Xiaobei took advantage of the two of them to talk, approached the tree hole and sniffed it, and wrinkled his nose uncomfortably: "This smell, it really stinks." ”

"Come here." Fan Shenxi immediately called her back with a headache, and she really didn't look good at it all of a sudden, "I don't know if it's poisonous or not, just go over and smell it." ”

Qiu Xiaobei rubbed his nose, then took out a bottle of preventive medicine that had been prepared earlier, first gave one to Prince Lin Ziyi, and then threw it to the guards and asked each of them to eat one.

"If it is closed inside for too long, there may be corpses hidden, and some poisonous gas will be produced, this medicine has a preventive effect, you can take it as an antidote pill."

"What about you?" Fan Shenxi noticed that she hadn't eaten.

"Slaves don't have to eat, there are other ways to prevent it." And she can't just take medicine as a pregnant woman.

Fan Shenxi nodded, then made some arrangements, and arranged for someone to go down first.

The three of them went down in the middle, and the guard named Xiaoba just now went directly to Fan Shenxi and carried the wheelchair directly.

There is a very narrow ladder at the bottom of the cave, which is a wooden ladder that can be seen normally, but this wooden ladder is much longer than the ordinary wooden ladder, at least five or six meters, and it is connected by several ordinary wooden ladders.

Therefore, when people go down, the wooden ladder is too long and causes it to sway, as if they are holding a rope and dangling in the air, and those who don't have the courage really dare to go down.

It should have been the person who came down before, deliberately made it, and then put it up and down here.

Because the guards who came down first were holding lanterns, when Qiu Xiaobei and the three of them went down, it was not so dark that they couldn't see their five fingers.

Here, there is only one corridor in the direction of the garden, sloping downward, and it is paved with cyan stone bricks all around, and there are no carved lines, which is very ordinary.

But Qiu Xiaobei had a faint guess in his heart, thinking that this might not have been dug up by the person who hid the corpse.

As they walked through the corridor, they saw two closed stone doors, which were carved with patterns unlike the ordinary brick-paved walls.

First, there was a lantern on each side of the stone gate, the same one she had seen when she met the black-haired woman before, and then a blooming flower, a woman wearing a veil, dancing among the flowers.

Looking closely, between the two stone doors, probably the position of a normal person's chest, there is a piece of dust that is much less than other places, obviously someone has pushed this stone door open, and more than once.

Several guards stepped forward and pushed the stone door open with a strong push, confirming the previous suspicion...... Someone did come in not so long ago.
