A man and a woman walked through the long passage to the end of the passage. There, a heavy gate blocked their way.

The gate is made up of huge stone blocks and appears to be at least five meters tall and more than four meters wide.

The two of them stood at the door, looking at the stone gate with some excitement.

"This should be it."

The man looked at the woman with excitement in his eyes.

"yes. It's true that we've been looking for so long and finally found this place. ”

"This stone gate is so heavy, there must be a mechanism." The woman's hand kept touching the stone: "You say, where is the mechanism of this door?" ”

"Let's look for it."

The men searched around, and finally, in a corner by the stone gate, they saw a stone with a difference.

The stone seemed to move, and the man's hand kept groping on it, and finally the stone protruded.

A circular bronze ornament was revealed.

"Come and see." The man's eyes lit up: "This is it." ”

On the bronze decoration, there was a badge. Two eagles in a circle.

"This should be the switch."

The man held down the badge and slammed it hard.

With a bang, the stone door opened.

As the stone door opened, a wider space was revealed.

The faces of the men and women will be happy, and the two of them will go inside hand in hand.

But when he walked to the door, the sound of brushing inside sounded, and countless sharp arrows flew towards the man and woman, as if they were close at hand.

When Xia Qingtong saw this, he couldn't help but scream. She didn't even think about throwing it at the right man and woman.

"Be careful—"

……

"Girl?"

Xia Qingtong patted his heart, and his forehead was full of sweat.

Sakura took a handkerchief and came over to wipe her face, but she waved it away. Instead, he quickly jumped out of bed, casually draped over his clothes, and went to the desk.

Xia Qingtong picked up and smiled, and according to the memory in the dream, he began to draw the stone gate and the badge.

Passages, stone gates, traps, coats of arms. And those sharp arrows inside.

According to what Xia Qingtong has learned, these things are very similar to the layout of the mausoleum.

When she is focused, she doesn't like to be disturbed. Hong Sakura was afraid that she would be cold, but seeing her so concentrated, she had to withdraw first, and then instructed the little girl outside to prepare some hot water and hot soup.

Xia Qingtong's painting is an hour. She tried her best to restore the details in the dream, and after making sure that there was no mistake or omission, she drew all the five badges that she had seen in Ming Yue.

Writing down her speculations one by one, an idea flashed through her mind.

This time, she grabbed a little.

Xia Qingtong continued to think, but suddenly there was a sharp pain in his head. She had to sit back down.

After thinking about it, she drew the appearance of the man and woman in her dream.

It's just that I don't know if it's because of the relationship that is facing away from her in the dream, and the facial features of the person she drew are a little blurred.

But even so, that familiar feeling is not deceiving.

She was sure she had seen these two men. But who is it?

I wonder if Ming Yue will know these two people? Tomorrow she would have asked him.

…………

When Xia Qingtong went to Mingyue's mansion the next day, he was told that Mingyue was not there.

But it wasn't the first time she had come, and the servants welcomed her through the door and led her to the guest room.

Although every time Ming Yue saw Xia Qingtong, he was in the study, but Ming Yue was not there, and the subordinates in the house did not dare to be the master.

Xia Qingtong didn't care, she brought the chessboard, she played chess by herself, and waited for Ming Yue to come back.

I didn't know that Xia Qingtong came to Mingyue in his own house, and this would stand on top of the Golden Palace.

Except for him. The rest of the princes came.

The third prince Ming Heng, the fourth prince Ming Yuan, the seventh prince Ming Huan, and the ninth prince Ming Hong.

Before today, none of the five princes was involved in the affairs of the DPRK and China. I don't even have the qualifications to go to court.

The ministers looked at the five princes standing in the hall with extraordinary demeanor and completely different temperaments.

Is Emperor Qingren planning to delegate power? Or are you going to pick an heir?

For a moment, the whole heart floated. Except for a few old ministers, the expressions of the ministers have not changed much, and many ministers have begun to calculate in their hearts which prince is more likely to ascend the throne.

Emperor Qingren didn't seem to know how misleading his actions would be.

He looked at the bottom of his eyes, and his eyes first fell on Prime Minister Yin Zongci. Immediately, it turned to Chen Dong, the servant of the ministry.

"Chen Aiqing. You should have heard about the Lucheng Salt Mine, right? What do you think about this? ”

Chen Dong took a step outside: "Your Majesty." Wei Chen felt that the matter of Lucheng was very important. It is necessary to find out the real Mumu and also find out who is behind it. ”

"So Chen Aiqing thinks it is more appropriate for someone to go to Lucheng to track down the salt mine?"

Chen Dong suddenly stopped talking.

"Or, is there any Aiqing who is willing to go to Lucheng and investigate the case of the salt mine?"

There was silence in the court, and the matter was put on the hands of the prince, although there was no evidence.

But who dares to frame a prince? When you think about it, you feel a chill in your back.

If that's the case, why did they bother to join in the fun?

Emperor Qingren did not have the slightest joy in his eyes, and his eyes swept over the ministers in the palace: "What? Doesn't anyone want to worry about me? ”

Ming Yue, who had been standing, suddenly took a step forward.

"Father, the son is willing to go to Lucheng to investigate the case of the salt mine."

"You-" Emperor Qingren squinted at Ming Yue in front of him: "Do you know that you are a suspect?" ”

"Father, it is precisely because the son is a suspect. I'm going to go even more, in order to repay my son's innocence. ”

"Are you innocent? How dare you say it? ”

Emperor Qingren's tone sounded gentle, but if anyone dared to look directly at the holy face at this time, they would find that the disgust for Ming Yue flashed in his eyes.

"Father. Erchen didn't do it, so naturally there was nothing he didn't dare to say. But the other party relied on Erchen for such a thing, and Erchen wanted to seek justice for himself, it should be okay, right? ”

Emperor Qingren didn't open his mouth, and the ministers below naturally wouldn't answer this cavity.

Ming Huan looked at Ming Yue, and the hands hanging by his side tightened. But he soon relaxed again, and out of the corner of his eye, he glanced in the direction of his grandfather.

Yin Xiang in the hall, Emperor Yin looked at his nose and nose, as if he didn't notice Ming Huan's gaze at all.

"Father." Ming Yue's voice resounded firmly above the hall again: "If the father and emperor can't trust the son, you can send a messenger to go with the son." ”

Governors?

Emperor Qingren tapped the armrest of the dragon chair with his fingertips, and his gaze swept over the ministers in the hall.

Seeing that the ministers all looked like they didn't care about anything, they suddenly became a little angry.

It's one thing for his son, he doesn't like it. But what's going on with these people?

His face sank, and he randomly ordered two people to come out of the ranks.

"Chen Qing, Li Qing. I will order you two to be both Qincha. Follow the sixth child and take a trip. ”

Chen Dong, who spoke just now, plus Li Liang, the servant of the Criminal Department, was so lucky to be hit by Emperor Qingren.

The two glanced at each other, knowing that this errand was not easy to do, but they could only kneel down and thank them.

"Commandment."

Xia Jianchang, who had been watching all this below, frowned deeply.

What exactly does Emperor Qingren want to do?

Ming Yue knelt down at this time, and his lowered eyebrows and eyes were calm.

After retreating from the dynasty and leaving, Ming Yue wanted to go back to the house directly, but was blocked by someone.
