Chapter 280: The Chamber of Secrets

Jiang Liuli felt that things were getting more and more complicated, and originally thought that anything could be solved if she found her stepmother, but now that it involves her uncle, it will be difficult to deal with, so she can only wait for her to find her stepmother.

In order not to waste time, she started to act on the first night she entered the palace, although Mingyue was also in the palace, her responsibility was to take care of the two children and Lan Tingxuan, and if there was any change, she would notify her immediately.

Before searching the palace at night, she had already checked the topographical map of the palace with a hard time, and also deleted some concubines who had nothing to do with her stepmother, and removing those people was equivalent to removing the dormitory where they once lived.

After some deletion and reduction, in the end, only more than ten people were left who had some festivals with their stepmother, in order to check whether there was a secret room in the palace, the investigation was very careful, which would be a waste of time.

But despite this, she still inspected every corner of the dormitory carefully, and did not want to miss any place.

At night, she crossed out the names of the dormitories that had been searched in the room, and finally only the emperor's Zhengyang Palace and the queen's Changle Palace remained, these two palaces are not accessible to everyone, even she has to be careful, and she will be found if she is not careful.

The emperor's and queen's bedrooms are heavily guarded, protected not only by the imperial guards with high kung fu skills, but also by hidden guards in the shadows.

Although it will be very dangerous to break into Zhengyang Palace and Changle Palace at night, I still want to check it, especially the queen's bedroom, she can become the queen among many women, in addition to her noble family background, the most important thing is that her means are very powerful.

Although the results of the investigation did not show that she had a holiday with her stepmother, the heart is sinister, and everyone will be jealous if her stepmother is so favored, especially a narrow-minded woman like her.

Lan Tingxuan knew that she was going to Changle Palace, and her face was full of worries, if she could really want to take her out of the palace now.

"Don't worry, I'll be careful." Seeing that he was so worried, she comforted him with a smile, although Changle Palace was heavily guarded, as long as she was careful, she could still avoid many ears.

"If you find someone, you must flee as soon as possible." He took her hand and said uneasily.

"I will." She threw herself into his arms and whispered softly, no matter how much he worried, which touched her very much.

Lan Tingxuan hugged her depressedly, hoping that she could find her stepmother smoothly this time, so that she could leave the palace, and this worrying day was too tiring.

Every time Jiang Liuli went to look for his stepmother in the middle of the night, he was so worried that he couldn't sleep at all, and if she didn't come back, he would wait until she returned safely.

This time he went to Changle Palace to worry him even more, but he couldn't help her, which he blamed himself.

Jiang Liuli secretly left Yihe Palace again under Lan Tingxuan's gaze, and disappeared in front of his eyes with a few leaps of light power.

After dodging many patrolling guards, he came to Changle Palace smoothly, and the kung fu of the guards standing guard here was obviously much higher than that of the guards near the other concubines.

Not only that, the secret guards hiding in the shadows should not be underestimated, and she couldn't even detect the breath of some people, in order not to expose herself, she could only hide in the shadows to find the location of those secret guards, and only dare to act after being sure.

After searching for a long time, I finally found all the positions of the dark guards, and with a specific location, it was much easier to avoid them, but even then we had to be careful.

After carefully avoiding the sight of those people, she quietly jumped into Changle Palace, escaped many dangers with her extraordinary memory, and came to the queen's bedroom.

Although it is very dangerous to enter the queen's bedroom, it is only possible to have a secret room in the bedroom where she lives, and the chances of other rooms are very small.

At this time, it was late at night, except for the palace maid guarding the door, everyone had already slept, and there was no sound of the faint candle flame in the bedroom.

The palace maid who escaped the door, she pulled the hairpin from her hair, carefully flicked it a few times before the window was opened, and then quietly jumped into the house.

When she walked in, she looked around, but she couldn't feel the sound of breathing at all, which made her wonder.

Even if she had doubts in her heart, she still added some medicinal powder to the incense burner according to the plan, and after she smelled a faint fragrance, she slowly walked towards the phoenix couch.

* It has begun to work on the effect of medicine, just a little smell can make people fall asleep, and after waking up, there is no abnormality at all, only I feel that this sleep is very heavy and comfortable.

When she came to the phoenix couch, she carefully lifted the heavy curtain, looked through the very small gap, and found that there was no one inside, which shocked her.

She looked closely, and it was obvious that someone had slept on the bed, but it was unknown where the queen had gone.

turned around and searched, and found that the queen was not in the palace, where could she go in the middle of the night?

After thinking about it for a while, she finally came to a conclusion that there must be a secret room in her bedroom, and she is in the secret room now, otherwise people will not disappear for no reason, unless she was taken away by someone, but this possibility is very small.

Now that he had an idea, he naturally had to find a way to be sure that his guess was correct, so he began to look around to see where there would be a secret room, in order not to be discovered by the queen, and did not dare to touch any of the items on the table and in the room, in case the secret room was found, but because the noise alarmed her, it would be a disaster.

Just when she looked around and found nothing to be itchy about to move, she suddenly heard an extremely small sound next to the bed, and she quickly hid, searching for the source of the sound in the dark.

Soon she noticed that the Bogu frame on the side of the bed slowly opened a small door, and the queen walked out of it with a happy face, and then slowly turned the red blood coral on the shelf, and the door slowly closed.

Jiang Liuli smiled clearly, this queen really has a lot of secrets that no one knows, but I don't know if this secret emperor knows it.

The queen looked around and made sure that there was nothing unusual, then she took off her shirt and tried to sleep, but found a little red dirt on the white dress.

She frowned in displeasure, turned to the desk next to her, picked up the pen, dipped it in some ink, and dyed it on the red stain, and the red mark was quickly blackened.

After making sure that there was no more red dirt on his clothes, he came to the bed satisfied, threw his dress directly on the ground, and returned to the bed to continue sleeping.

The smell of * in the incense burner was extremely elegant, so the queen did not notice anything unusual, and soon fell asleep.

After making sure that she was completely asleep, Jiang Liuli came out quietly, she picked up the discarded dress, put it on the tip of her nose and smelled it, but unfortunately the red dirt was not only completely covered, but even the smell was covered by the smell of ink.

Although she couldn't smell it, she was sure that the red dirt on her dress must be bloodstains, and it seemed that there was really a secret hidden in the secret room, and at this moment, she felt that the person imprisoned in the secret room was most likely her stepmother.

Thinking of this, she was so excited that she threw away the dress in her hand, came to Bogujia, took out a silk handkerchief from her waist, put it on the red blood coral, and then slowly turned the red blood coral, and the door full of mystery slowly opened.

Jiang Liuli carefully inspected the surroundings and was sure that no one was approaching inside or outside the house, so he slowly walked into the secret room.

At the front of the secret room is a narrow entrance, and after walking ten steps, the eyes gradually widen, and when you walk in, you find that the secret room is like a bedroom, with tables, chairs, and soft couches.

In addition to these, there are many treasures left, all kinds of priceless antique jade on the Bogu shelf, and several large chests in the corners, which must be gold and silver jewelry.

Jiang Liuli was not interested in these priceless treasures, and the only thing that could catch her attention was another door not far away.

She closed her eyes and listened carefully to the movement behind the door, and found that the cries of pain of someone inside, although the sound was extremely weak, were still caught by her.

In order to ensure safety, I listened carefully for a while, and after making sure that there was only one person inside, I slowly came to the door.

She smiled coldly when she looked at the big lock on the door, no matter how difficult the lock was in her eyes, it was a piece of cake, and her lock-picking skills were not as good as even her stepmother.

I took the hairpin from the hair again, slowly turned around in the keyhole a few times, and soon opened the lock, and the moment I opened the door carefully, the cry of pain inside became clearer.

She cautiously walked inside, and found that the room was a torture chamber, with more torture tools than in a cell.

In addition to the many torture instruments, there was only a shabby table and a small stone bed, and on the bed lay a woman in rags, the blood of which had dripped onto the quilt on the stone bed, and the quilt was stained red.

The woman had her back to her, so she couldn't see her face, but the fragile cry of pain was so familiar.

She stepped forward quickly, flipped the woman's body over, and a face full of vicissitudes and pain appeared in front of her, although there was no blood on the face, and

There are still scars, but she still recognizes this person at a glance as her stepmother who has been looking for many years.

"Mother." She looked at her mother-in-law with her eyes closed, and tears suddenly welled up in her eyes, and her heartache was that her mother-in-law, who had always been extremely strong, had now become so fragile.

Yue Liuli, who had her eyes closed, heard the call and thought it was a hallucination, and after slowly opening her eyes, she was really taken aback to find that the person holding her was indeed the righteous daughter she had in mind.

"Ruri, why are you here?" She looked at her in disbelief, and as soon as she spoke, her throat felt like it was sore to death.

After Jiang Liuli noticed the abnormality, she gently put her on the bed, came to the table and poured a glass of water, fortunately, the queen didn't want her to die, the water in the teapot was still there, but it was extremely cold.

At this time, she can't care so much, as long as she can quench her stepmother's thirst.

She came to the bed with water, carefully helped her up, and when she brought the water to her mouth, she couldn't wait to drink it all in large gulps.

After drinking all the glass of water, Yue Liuli felt that her burning throat felt better, but the pain in her body was still not relieved.
