Chapter 405: Cold Palace Secret Path
The night was silent, the bright moon hung in the night sky, there was a figure walking in front, and two figures followed closely behind, the former was the crown prince Xie Yuan, and the latter was the princess Xie Shiyun and Fei Yu.
The palace was so big, they cautiously followed behind Xie Yuan to avoid being discovered by him, and then followed Xie Yuan around the imperial garden to a palace.
And Xie Yuan also stopped, directly pushed open the palace door and entered one of the rooms, and then did not come out again. Xie Shiyun and Fei Yu looked up, and Fei Yu was a little surprised: "Princess, look, it's actually a cold palace!"
"Yes, it's actually a cold palace." Xie Shiyun was also a little strange, but immediately turned his head and thought about it, the cold palace was already inaccessible, and it was not impossible for Tibetans to do so.
"Let's go in and have a look." So, Fei Yu followed Xie Shiyun into the room where Xie Yuan was.
Who knew that as soon as they pushed the door in, they didn't see anyone else, nor did they see Xie Yuan's shadow, the room furnishings were still there, but a good big living person was gone in front of their eyes.
Xie Shiyun couldn't help but make a difficulty, there was something strange, they couldn't act rashly like this: "In order to prevent fraud, let's get out of the cold palace first!"
"Hmm!" Fei Yu understood what she meant, nodded slightly, and the two of them retreated from the cold palace lightly.
Xie Shiyun didn't want to let go of this opportunity, and felt that there were still clues to follow, so she hurriedly asked her own people in the palace to guard outside the cold palace, and she couldn't let go of any wind and grass, and was optimistic about Xie Yuan's every move.
didn't wait long, when Xie Shiyun and Feiyu were still resting in the palace, the palace people sent to monitor hurried back and came in to report the news.
"I've seen Her Royal Highness the Princess, just now the slave didn't wait long, and I saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had come out of the cold palace," the little eunuch told what he saw.
After Xie Shiyun listened, he asked him to go down to rest: "I've worked hard for you, it's nothing for you now, it's getting late now, you can go back and have a good rest." The little eunuch nodded like garlic, thanked him, and immediately retreated.
After arranging the little eunuch, Xie Shiyun turned his head to Fei Yu and said, "Fei Yu, this matter must be unusual, while Xie Yuan is already gone, let's go to the cold palace to see if there are any special discoveries."
Fei Yu knew that she would not let go of this rare opportunity, Xie Yuan went to the cold palace so mysteriously, and it was indeed doubtful that she had been going so frequently recently, of course she listened to the princess, it was better to be careful.
Then Xie Shiyun and Fei Yu continued to go to the cold palace again, and entered the room where Xie Yuan stayed just now, and the two of them split up to see if there was anything strange, Xie Yuan couldn't stay in it for so long, and they hadn't let them see it, there must be a dark room in this room.
After searching for a while, Fei Yu saw a painting hanging next to the bed in the inner room, and he was very suspicious, the painting was hanging next to the bed, which did not quite meet the furnishing regulations of the palace.
So he went to discuss with Xie Shiyun: "Princess, we have been looking for so long, but we haven't found anything special, see if this painting is too strange to hang next to the bed."
"Indeed, Fei Yu, you move the painting and take a look!" Xie Shiyun pointed with her hand, it didn't look like anything else, she had lived in the palace since she was a child, and she had never seen this kind of arrangement, even if it was a cold palace, she should pay attention to the pattern.
So Fei Yu immediately moved the painting, and heard a slight sound, and the bed board on the bed in the inner hall of the cold palace room moved by itself, and there was a big hole in the center of the bed, and the two of them stepped forward to take a look, and found that there was a staircase that could go straight down.
But there was no light in this staircase, fortunately they had prepared the fire fold in advance, otherwise it would be dark and they would not be able to see anything, Fei Yu took out the fire fold from his arms and lit it, and the two of them planned to continue to explore.
Fei Yu was afraid that something would happen to Xie Shiyun, so he motioned for her to follow behind him, and she opened the way forward, and the two of them entered this passage along the stairs, and halfway through the dark passage, a stone door blocked their way.
The stone door was closed, there was a stone lock locked, the two looked at each other, continued to see if there was any trace of the key around, and after groping for a long time, there was no trace of the key.
Fei Yu frowned, it seemed that his efforts were in vain: "Princess, this stone door is locked, I'm afraid it can't be opened, if Fei Yu didn't guess wrong, the key should be on the prince."
Xie Shiyun was also a little annoyed: "Xie Yuan is suspicious by nature, the key must be placed at any time, it seems that we can't get in, it's a rare opportunity!"
After thinking about it, she seemed to think of something, and a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she realized it: "Think about it carefully, why have we Minxiu been looking for so long, there are people inside and outside the palace, and there is no reason why we can't find out our whereabouts at all."
Fei Yu heard her say this, and also picked up her thoughts: "Princess, what do you mean...... There's a good chance Min-so is here?"
The answer is beyond doubt, Xie Shiyun calmly analyzed: "We all thought that even if Minxiu was kidnapped by Xie Yuan, according to Xie Yuan's temperament, she definitely didn't want people to know, and when we all thought that Xie Yuan would arrange her outside the palace, we actually ignored a problem."
Fei Yu also suddenly understood, so she continued to analyze her words: "Actually, the most dangerous place is the safest place, Minxiu will be found outside the palace sooner or later, and Minxiu is a show girl personally selected by the emperor, what happened, it must be investigated to the end."
"Yes, that's right, Xie Yuan thought very carefully this time, so he must have left Minxiu in the palace, there are so many places in the palace, only the cold palace is the most remote, who would be a normal person here, plus this secret passage, there are so many rooms in the cold palace, even if you look for it, it will take a long time." Xie Shiyun thought everything through.
Fei Yu also followed and said the remaining key points: "With this secret passage, there was no clear goal, who would doubt that the key was also carried by him, and the prince thought that it was really foolproof."
Fei Yu couldn't help but sneer, the prince couldn't do anything well, but the bad things seemed to be seamless.
But at this time, Xie Shiyun was very worried, according to the tragic situation of those innocent women who died in the past, Xie Yuan's methods were very perverted and cruel, Minxiu was taken away by him for so long, I am afraid that even if he still has his life, he has experienced inhumane treatment.
She couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable, so many innocent women who were in their prime were slowly tortured to death by this perverted Xie Yuan, and she was powerless to change, she lived two lives again, she felt deeply powerless, and she still couldn't change the tragic fate of so many people.
