The front gradually became spacious, Yue'er could actually stand up and walk while crawling, to her surprise, this passage was not damp, probably brushed with lime and other things when digging, and there was a candlestick every other section of the passage, I think the people who used this secret passage were quite particular.

Yue'er groped her way forward for a stick of incense, and the passage slowly narrowed again.

There was a rancid smell in the air, and the further forward it was, the stronger it became, which made Yue'er a little frightened and uneasy, what was that exit?

Suddenly, a mouse came out, Yue'er was startled, and said secretly: "It turns out that there is a rat nest in front, no wonder it stinks!" She thought so and crawled forward.

From time to time, rats came out of the passage, and no matter how bold Yue'er was, she couldn't help but be a little hairy.

The faint light of the jade ring was really not bright, Yue'er walked and walked, and suddenly plopped and stepped into the air, and her body fell.

This is a deep pit of Zhangxu, there is no stagnant water below, I just don't know what I lost in a mess, Yue'er fell into a mess, it took a while to come back to her senses, she stood up and moved her hands and feet, and found that she was not injured, so she breathed a sigh of relief, raised the jade ring and looked up, only to see a black paste on the head, as if this was also a waste well, but the top was sealed by someone, and nothing could be seen.

Yue'er secretly complained, if the passage was blocked, how could she get out?

At this time, an ant insect crawled up Yue'er's hands and feet, she shook her hands and stomped her feet and took a step back, only to realize that the source of the rancid smell was beside her, and she took a photo with the jade ring, and was suddenly startled.

A corpse was sitting against a wall, vaguely recognizable as a woman, and the corpse was badly decomposed and emitted a foul smell.

Yue'er was so frightened that she flashed to the side, clicked, stepped on a hard object, she lowered her head and shone it with the jade ring, and almost exclaimed.

This is another corpse, but this corpse has dried up and cracked, and Yue'er stepped on it just now, breaking her bones.

The bones cracked, and a few green phosphorus fires lit up.

Yue'er suddenly saw that there were four or five corpses stacked under this passage, these corpses were all women, looking at the shape of the body, they should not be very old when they died, there was a girl leaning against the pit wall, her hands up, as if she was not dead when she fell, and she wanted to climb up hard, and she was still holding a golden hairpin in her hand.

Unexpectedly, this was a burial mound, Yue'er couldn't help but shudder two times in a row, it turned out that the cry she heard a few days ago was actually from the girl who fell to the bottom of the pit, and it couldn't be heard during the day, and it could only be heard at night when it was quiet!

Yue'er took off the golden hairpin in the hand of the girl standing and said secretly: "This may be a useful thing." By the glow of the phosphorus fire, she saw that the top of her head was like an abandoned well, and she opened her arms to measure it, just enough to touch both sides, so she climbed up with her feet on the pit wall, which is Yue'er, and other girls could only wait for death below.

Climbing to the position of the passage where she fell before, the wall of the well above suddenly widened, and Yue'er's legs could not reach the two sides of the word, she thought about it, took out two flying knives and inserted them into the soil of the well wall, but the wall of the well was full of dry soil, and it was not forced at all to insert it.

Yue'er racked her brains and couldn't think of a way, so she had to go into the passage and find a dry place to take a nap inside.

The day was a mess, Yue'er was hungry and thirsty, but when she came in, she didn't bring anything with her except two flying knives, and she wanted to go to the bottom of the pit to find it, and she thought of the dead girl who didn't know how long she had been crying below, and if there was anything to eat, she had already eaten it up.

Yue'er licked her chapped lips and said secretly: "I came to Windy City, and I didn't do anything, did I die here unjustly?" In her heart, the little Oiran is nothing at all, what she really wants is to thoroughly investigate the unjust case of the Ran family.

Just thinking about it, there was a faint sound of footsteps overhead, and Yue'er got up and came to the entrance of the passage to look up.

"Click-click-"

There seemed to be a cover on top that had been laboriously removed, and then a faint moonlight fell.

A girl's voice rang out.

"Niangniang, this stinky pit has opened, what else do you command?"

Yue'er's heart sank, this is really the inner courtyard of the palace, I can't imagine that the underground passage of the Frost Leaf Pavilion is connected to the palace, didn't the pothos say that the West Gate is facing the cold palace here, why is the lady in the cold palace still waiting for the maid?

I only heard a sharp woman's voice say: "Rudong, take a look, did the dragon and phoenix golden hairpin in this palace fall below?" ”

"Niangniang, this stinky pit has never been opened, and besides, it stinks so badly below, how can your dragon and phoenix golden hairpin be down there?"

"Hmph, Su Xin's girl has a grudge against the palace, maybe she will be lost below, and the entire Baiyu Palace has been searched, but she has not been found below."

Yue'er didn't know what kind of palace Baiyu Hall was, since the one above was a mother, her status should not be low, but her voice was sharp, she seemed very mean, and she sounded extremely uncomfortable.

Rudong was very reluctant.

"Concubine Duanniang, you said that Sister Su Xin has been missing for half a month, if she runs away, she must have smuggled your dragon and phoenix golden hairpin out, how could she be lost here, besides, you can't wait for dawn and call Grandpa Liu to come down and salvage?"

The concubine seemed to be very angry when she heard this.

"It's dry below, there is no water in this well, tell you to look for it, you can go and find it, why do you want to disobey the edict of the palace!"

"Niangniang, Rudong doesn't dare to disobey Yi's will, but there are no stairs or ropes, and it's still dark below, and I can't see it if I go down, can I find it, let's wait until dawn tomorrow."

Yue'er took out the golden hairpin and looked at it, secretly guessing that the girl who was standing and dead was the Su Xin they said was missing.

There was the voice of Concubine Duan again.

"You take a candlestick and go down, tomorrow if the emperor comes to the Baiyu Palace, the dragon and phoenix treasure hairpin is given by the emperor, and the palace must wear it."

"Niangniang, the emperor seems to have never been to Baiyu Palace, are you sick, I'll help you call the imperial doctor-" Rudong's answer was a little stunned.

"What is the imperial doctor, hey, you see what is shining, is it the golden hairpin of the main palace?"

"Where?"

Yue'er saw a girl leaning out and looking down, and she suddenly had an ominous premonition in her heart.

Sure enough, with a bang, the girl's right hand was suddenly twisted, and half of her body was pushed to the mouth of the well, she struggled hard, and shouted: "Niangniang, you, what are you going to do?" ”

"You go to die, you stinky girl, you hit the palace every day!"

"Where is the collision in winter, the mother spares her life!"

"Spare your life? Dream! You just go down there and accompany Su Xin's dead girl! ”

"What, Sister Su Xin was also killed by you?"

"Yes, Su Xin, Lan Yue, and Qiu Tong were all pushed down from here by me, and now you can go down too!"

"Niangniang spare your life, Niangniang spare your life, Rudong is your maid ring, you can fight or kill if you want, please don't deal with me like this!"

Rudong almost cried and begged.

"I like this, I like to watch you lose your strength little by little, and finally fall down with a thud, your bones and tendons cracked, and you wail again and again!"

Rudong was pushed out of the well, and her left hand pressed the wall of the well to prevent herself from falling, while Concubine Duan pressed her neck hard with one hand, pressing down hard, and at the same time hitting Rudong's hind buttocks with her knees.

Although Yue'er couldn't really see it below, she knew that Rudong above must be very dangerous, but she couldn't help, and if she shot the knife up, she might directly hurt Rudong.

With a bang, Concubine Duan hit Rudong's buttocks with a knee again, and most of Rudong's body came out of the well.

Yue'er was anxious, and suddenly shouted: "Grab her hair and throw her back!" ”

At this sound, the two people above were stunned.

Still Rudong reacted quickly, she felt that Concubine Duan's strength was loosened, and her body immediately shrank, her left hand let go of the wall of the well, grabbed Concubine Duan's bun, and fell forward her shoulder, although she had never learned to fall shoulder, but this instinctive reaction, Concubine Duan did not react at all, and was thrown out.

"Ahh

A scream.

Yue'er saw a black shadow fall from in front of her eyes, and fell to the bottom of the pit with a bang, the black shadow hit the ground first, trembled twice, and kicked her feet and didn't move.
