Goo!

After getting the news, the spirit eagle spread its wings and soared into the sky, and instantly flew away in the night sky with a chirp.

Now they could only wait patiently, and stood on the platform and watched the night around them, and the time kept passing.

However, the witch didn't have much patience, and after waiting for two or three minutes, she couldn't stand.

"It's so boring here, you two keep waiting, I'll go to the imperial tomb to have a look." The witch said with a smile.

"It's okay, we don't know anything about the situation in the Imperial Tomb, since you are curious, go and take a look, and we must find out all the situation there." Li Ming's eyes lit up, and he immediately agreed to the witch's request with a smile.

"Then I'm leaving, something calls me." The witch quickly turned around and dissipated into the night as black smoke......

Li Ming and Lonely continued to wait, but now they were much more relieved.

"Brother Ming, this witch's role is really good, it's all up to her tonight." Lonely as smoke, he smiled coquettishly.

"She is a demon clan, and there are no taboos in acting on the territory of the Heavenly Mandate Empire, so she can play a greater role, I hope she can find out all the situation of the imperial tomb, so that we can be more sure." Li Ming said with a smile.

Just as the two of them were standing on the platform talking and passing the waiting time, three tall female figures appeared on the mountain road in the distance, walking quickly towards the mountainside platform......

"Her Royal Highness the princess has come down." Li Ming didn't expect the princess to come so quickly, so he hurried to the intersection of the stone steps.

After a while, under the moonlight, the beautiful princess, with two maids, was already standing in front of them.

"See Her Royal Highness the Princess, I didn't expect you to come so quickly." Li Ming said respectfully.

"Fortunately, the second emperor brother has only blocked the inner city, and the outer city has not prohibited me from entering and leaving freely, I don't know if Your Excellency has discovered something important by the Flying Eagle so late?" Princess Ning Xin asked suspiciously.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, the matter is becoming more and more urgent...... "Lonely as smoke hurriedly told the details of what he found in the manor tonight......

Princess Ning Xin and the two maids widened their eyes when they heard this, and their brows couldn't help frowning tightly, as if they were all stunned by what she said!

"How dare he! The imperial mausoleum is buried with the ancestors of the emperors and the royal family, and it is a solemn place that cannot be desecrated, and he dares to dig a passage from there! Princess Ning Xin shouted angrily.

"This matter has been clarified, and it won't take two days for the passage to be opened, and by then the second prince's conspiracy plan has taken shape, and he can launch a rebellion at any time!" Li Ming nodded and said.

"However, although the Imperial Tomb is not heavily guarded, there are also Zhenling Divine Beasts inside to protect the peace of the ancestors, how dare he dig a passage there?" Princess Ning Xin said suspiciously.

"What...... Zhenling Divine Beast? Li Ming and Lonely looked at each other in unison, and asked nervously at the same time.

"Yes, the Imperial Tomb is the mausoleum of our Heavenly Mandate Imperial Family, and it is also the core area to bless the prosperity of our Imperial Family, there have always been divine beasts guarding it, if it is not for the Emperor's Jade Seal, whoever dares to enter the Emperor will be dead!" Princess Ning Xin said.

"Isn't it...... She ...... that brocade silk," said Lonely as Smoke in surprise.

"It's okay, although she can't beat the divine beast, she is very smart, and it should be no problem to escape." Li Ming also nervously called the witch back, but there was no response.

Could it be that she really encountered a divine beast?

"What's wrong with you, there is a mechanism at the gate of the Imperial Mausoleum, and ordinary people can't get in." Princess Ning Xin said.

"Let's not talk about this for a while, what Her Royal Highness the princess knows, presumably the second prince also knows, right?" Li Ming hurriedly asked.

"Of course, the matter of the imperial tomb, our royal family is very clear." Princess Ning Xin nodded.

"Since the second prince also knows the danger of the imperial tomb, why does he still set up the passage in the imperial tomb?" Li Ming said suspiciously.

"Brother Ming, he may not have set the entrance of the passage inside the Imperial Mausoleum, if it is outside the Imperial Mausoleum." Lonely as smoke reminded.

"No, the entire inside of the Imperial City Mountain is full of hard rocks, and it cannot be excavated by manpower, if you want to dig under the Imperial City Mountain, even if you give the imperial brother more manpower, I am afraid it will take several years to do it. As far as the palace knows, only there seems to be a legend about the secret passage in the imperial mausoleum, which is left by the ancestors to prevent accidents, for the descendants of the royal family to escape, if the imperial brother wants to dig through the secret passage, it is the best choice to find the escape passage in the imperial mausoleum. Princess Ning Xin said thoughtfully.

"If there really is such a passage, then it can be concluded that the second prince must have found some way to deal with the divine beast, so he dared to set up one side of the secret passage inside the imperial mausoleum. In this way, no one would have guessed that his secret passage for transporting troops was actually in the Imperial Mausoleum, after all, it was impossible for anyone to enter the Imperial Mausoleum to find out......" Li Ming said thoughtfully.

"Zhenling Divine Beast has been seen in the palace since I was a child, it is a golden-horned pixiu, very sensitive to the surrounding movements, if someone digs a passage under the imperial tomb, as long as it is close to it, it will let out a roar to warn, and will never sit idly by...... Now there is nothing wrong with the divine beast, and you said that the passage is about to be dug through,......" Princess Ning Xin said with some doubts.

"What...... Golden Horn Pixiu Divine Beast! Both of them were shocked at the same time.

Sure enough, it is a divine beast sitting in the imperial tomb, if the second prince digs a secret passage, then the divine beast will definitely be able to sense it in advance......

But nothing has happened so far, which is a bit confusing.

"Is it that the divine beast fell asleep and didn't find out?" Lonely as smoke asked.

"It's unlikely, there is only one explanation, something happened to the divine beast......" Li Ming frowned and said.

Since the second prince knew about the existence of the divine beast and dared to dig a passage there, I am afraid that he had already thought of a way to deal with the divine beast, otherwise the whole plan would not be realized!

"What, something happened to the beast?" Both the princess and Lonely were amazed by his assumption.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, I dare to conclude that the Imperial Tomb has always been the target of the Second Prince, and only that is the only place where he can dig through the secret passage, now that the Second Prince has the secret help of the Demon Clan, there should have been a way to deal with the Divine Beast for a long time, and now that the secret passage is about to be dug through, they will definitely attack the Divine Beast in advance, so that there will be no more difficulty to prevent them from launching a rebellion!" Li Ming said thoughtfully.

"If that's the case, then wouldn't it be irreparable!" Princess Ning Xin was instantly stunned.

"Your Royal Highness the princess, don't worry, the passage has not been dug yet, but the conspiracy of the second prince has been fully known to us, so the opportunity is still in our hands, so don't worry too much now." Li Ming comforted.

"Clearly, do you have any other remedy, just say it, this palace will definitely support you." Princess Ning Xin looked at him with beautiful eyes, as if she saw a life-saving straw.
