What's wrong? Cao Zhijin looked at her and asked.

"Nothing!" Zhu Xian yawned again and said slurredly, "Sleepy!" ”

"Then go to sleep!" Cao Zhijin said.

Zhu Xian nodded and walked out of the kitchen.

Cao Zhijin sat in front of the stove for a while, then got up and left the kitchen.

The wind howled fiercely this night, and many people in the entire palace couldn't sleep all night, but Cao Zhijin slept very sweetly.

The next day, Cao Zhijin went to Zhu Xian's courtyard and was not surprised to see that Zhu Xian did not get up early.

She lit the fire neatly, cooked the sweet glutinous grass porridge, then brewed a bowl of fragrant revival tea with boiling water, put them in a food box, wrapped them in a large piece of cotton cloth, and then walked towards Yuzhuang's residence with the food box.

Yuzhuang moved the table and opened the door, and was a little surprised to see Cao Zhijin: "Why are you?"

Cao Zhijin looked at her face carefully and said, "As I expected, the master really didn't sleep well last night!"

She raised the food box in her hand slightly upwards and said, "The slave maid cooked sweet glutinous grass porridge and awakening tea for the master, and the master will feel much better after eating it!"

The weather outside has cleared, and the warm sun on the threshold makes people feel relaxed.

Yuzhuang got out of the way and let Cao Zhijin walk in, but she still habitually closed the door.

She rubbed her eyebrows and said, "The wind blew so hard last night that it made people unable to sleep."

"Master, drink porridge, the slave will press a few acupuncture points for you, and it will ease a lot!" Saying that, Cao Zhijin opened the food box quickly and took out the porridge bowl and tea bowl, and then went around to Yuzhuang's back to press a few acupuncture points for her.

Yuzhuang only felt relaxed for a while, and unconsciously fell asleep.

Cao Zhijin caught her waking tea bowl that was about to fall, gently rested the bowl on the table, and then helped her to the bed in the room to help her cover the quilt.

Cao Zhijin looked at Yuzhuang and thought to herself, Yuzhuang is proficient in all kinds of herbs, and it is too difficult to drug her, so she can only work the awakening tea!

Yes, although the awakening tea has a refreshing effect, as long as you press a few acupuncture points on the body, the medicinal effect of the awakening tea and the effect of several acupuncture points not only do not refresh, but also hypnotize!

Cao Zhijin withdrew and closed the door of the room, and walked straight towards the low table in the center of the hall.

The reason why she came here yesterday to pick up the paintings was because she heard a distinct sound of a mechanism rattling.

Recently, whenever she is free, she will go behind the Moon Gate to detect the movements of those secret guards outside the door, although she still can't catch any information from them, but her hearing and reaction skills have become much more sensitive!

Although it was only a slight sound, still mixed with the howling wind, Cao Zhijin still remembered the sound of the organ he had heard in Qu's pharmacy before, this sound was the same as those sounds, only much duller, revealing the information that it had fallen into disrepair.

Cao Zhijin squatted down in front of the low table, probed under the low table with his hand, and sure enough, he touched an oval raised wooden handle.

The wooden handle can be moved up and down, to be precise, the wooden handle should have been pushed up and half-embedded into the tabletop, so that it is more hidden, but because of your disrepair, the handle fell off.

Is it broken?

Cao Zhijin fumbled for a while, but still found no signs of activation.

No, if it's as simple as pulling the handle down, then why make the handle oval?

It was too dark under the table to see anything clearly, and Cao Zhijin could only rely on groping to find out the truth.

Sure enough, there is another mystery in this mechanism!

Cao Zhijin felt a neat scratch at one end of the oval, and there was a scratch of the same depth on the bottom of the table around it.

Cao Zhijin turned the handle in one breath, so that the two scratches were in a straight line, and sure enough, he only heard a soft sound of "knock-", and there was movement behind the wall on the low table.

This wall is a whole wall of wood relief murals, in the center there is a slightly floating disc-like wood carving mural on the left and right, on the carving is a fairy picking picture, connected to the low table below,—— fairy flew down to earth, sideways to hand the fruit basket in her hand to the table,—— if it were not for the dust accumulation, covering its original face, it must be a shocking carving!

As the vibration shook off some of the dust on it, the wood carving was already beginning to show its edge.

Cao Zhijin didn't have time to appreciate the wood carving, only to see that the disc slowly moved to the right, revealing a small round hole half a person high!

When Cao Zhijin saw this round hole, he breathed a sigh of relief.

When Zhu Xian said that there would be strange sounds around her when it was windy and rainy, she was a little suspicious, and when Zhu Xian said that the strange sound would only stop when it was windy and rainy, her suspicion was even worse, until Zhu Xian's words woke her up.

Zhu Xian said that the snow fell so much that the road was buried, yes, the snow could easily block a hole when it was piled up.

She guessed that there must be a hole nearby, and this hole must lead somewhere, as for the wind and rain, there will be strange sounds, that is because this tunnel is not sealed, and even has a big opening in a certain section, so the wind will make a strange sound when it pours in from the hole, and the heavy snow in the past few days has blocked that hole, so no matter how the wind blows, no strange sound can be heard again!

When the snow stopped, it began to melt, and when the snow melted to a certain extent, the opening was re-revealed, and strange noises could be heard again when the wind was blowing.

Although Cao Zhijin knows these two points, she doesn't know where the entrance to the tunnel is, she has already checked this Qinxiang Garden, and there is no obvious opening, indicating that the place where the opening is not in Qinxiang Garden, and the entrance must be in Qinxiang Garden!

It wasn't until yesterday that the gust of wind suddenly blew in, and the mechanism under the table fell down due to the lack of correction, that she knew that the real entrance was actually in Qinxiangyuan!

She wasn't sure if Yuzhuang knew about it, but according to her, she had the furnishings when she came here, so maybe she really didn't know!

Cao Zhijin didn't know what was in this tunnel and where it led, so she stunned them first just to be on the safe side.

Cao Zhijin took out the Night Pearl from his sleeve, poured it out of the bag made of blackout cloth, and burrowed into the tunnel.

The inside is larger than Cao Zhijin imagined, about one meter wide and two meters high.

Cao Zhijin took the night pearl to shine on the wall, and saw that the surrounding walls were not the tamped soil underground, but the small bluestone slab walls that had been artificially repaired, which looked very stable.

The whole tunnel is almost straight, there are no obstacles on the ground, and it is very easy to walk.

Cao Zhijin didn't know how long he had been walking, and suddenly he felt a little cold, and there was a faint white light in front of him.

Cao Zhijin quickened his pace and walked over, a pile of collapsed dirt and gravel and an arm-thick tree piled crookedly in the middle of the tunnel.

The white light that Cao Zhijin saw just now was not skylight, but snow.

The snow was dragged by the remnants of the opening and the branches that grew, and miraculously spread a thick layer on the opening, carefully maintaining its balance, and just sealing the opening!
