Chapter 185: Rockery Stone Room

Su Muge tried his best to lighten his breath so that they would not be aware of his breath.

"Come out, we've found you!"

"Just hide behind that rockery, we've seen the corners of your skirts."

Su Muge hid in the gap between the two rockeries, feeling the footsteps of the two getting closer and closer.

She slowly clenched the purse in her hand, she only came out with a bag of poison today, so she must seize the moment.

Slowly, the two stopped in front of the rockery where Su Muge was hiding, Su Muge held his breath, and had already held the medicinal powder in his purse in the palm of his hand.

Just as she was about to make a move, her elbow accidentally touched the stone, and she only heard a "click" sound in her ears, and the next moment her body soared into the air, and the whole person fell into darkness.

"Ahh

"In the back!"

The two people who chased and killed Su Muge followed the sound she made to find it, but the place where Su Muge was originally hiding was empty, and there was nothing but the rockery!

……

At the banquet.

Xiahou Mo saw that Su Muge hadn't come back for a long time, so he got up and walked out.

Wang Nuo, who was guarding outside, also happened to come out of the room outside and met Xiahou Mo head-on.

"Lord Wang."

"Where's the princess?"

Wang Nuo was stunned, princess? Didn't the princess go to the banquet with you, and when did she come out?

"Back to the prince, the slave maid has never seen the princess."

Xiahou Mo's deep dark eyes narrowed slightly. "You said you didn't see the princess?"

Feeling the coldness in Xiahou Mo's words, Wang Nuo nodded stiffly, she felt thirsty just now and drank some hot water, and she just came out.

"Lord Wang, do you want to go and find it?"

"Well, you go to the clean room and have a look."

"Yes."

After Wang Nuo left, Xiahou Mo did not go back, but went to the depths of the Guerlain Palace.

……

With a muffled sound of "bang", Su Muge felt that his bones were about to fall apart.

Su Muge frowned in pain, and it took a while to open her eyes, but it was pitch black in front of her, the ground was cold and cold, and there was a damp dampness, she endured the pain on her body and stood up, groping to find the light source, without light, she couldn't even see what place this was.

But after groping around, she found nothing but the cold walls.

"This should be a dark room."

She closed her eyes and held her breath, and could feel a low whirring sound in her ears, which allowed her to discern the direction of the air outlet.

She walked over by feeling, and the tip of her finger touched a thumb-sized protrusion, and she hesitated for a moment, then reached out and pressed it.

"Click".

The road under Su Muge's feet began to shake, she gritted her teeth and stood firm against the wall, and suddenly "whew", a light suddenly appeared in front of her, illuminating the darkness around her.

Su Muge closed his eyes first, and then he saw the situation around him clearly.

It is a boxy stone chamber, and the walls are also pasted with bluestone, which looks like someone specially built it, and the light source comes from the torches on the wall.

Torch burning requires oil and fire, there must be a mechanism in this stone room, she should have touched the torch before it was lit.

Su Muge looked around and found that this stone chamber was sealed, and she didn't even know where she fell from.

She picked up a torch from the wall and began to look for an exit along the wall of the stone chamber, just in case.

She remembered that the wind was coming in the direction of her right, and she slowly walked over there, and sure enough, she felt the wind blowing through her palm.

Su Muge began to focus on looking for that place, and when she squatted down, she found that there was a place the size of a slap at her feet, and the color was a little wrong.

She reached out and tried to press the stone in, but to no avail, she rolled her eyes and pulled the stone out in a different direction.

Suddenly, the stone was pulled out.

With a "boom", the stone wall in front of her moved.

She quickly backed away with her torches, waiting for the stone wall to slowly rise.

On the other side of the stone wall, however, it was pitch black, and nothing could be seen.

Only Su Muge's slight breathing and the sound of falling gravel and sand were left around.

Su Muge waited for a moment, then turned around and took another torch from the wall and threw it at the other side of the stone door.

After making sure that there was indeed nothing unusual there, she slowly walked into the depths.

Because it was too dark around, Su Muge's heart was raised.

Inside it was like a cave with no end in sight, and there was nothing but the slightest sound of wind.

Su Muge kept silently counting her steps until she had walked more than a hundred steps, and the road ahead had finally come to an end.

In front of me was a stone wall, blocking the way.

Su Muge was about to look for the mechanism, but as soon as he moved, there was a slight sound in his ears.

She stiffened, turned around with a torch, and a figure suddenly appeared in front of her, she took a step back in fright, and when she was sure that the stone statue was not moving again, she took the torch in her hand and gradually saw the stone statue behind her.

The firelight illuminated the stone statue, and the stone statue was a woman, and from the stone statue itself, it should be an extremely beautiful woman, but because of the limitations of the carving technique, she could not be sure if the woman was actually like this.

Su Muge walked over, walked around the stone statue, and reached out to touch the stone statue's face.

At this moment, the stone statue's eyes suddenly blinked, Su Muge's pupils shrank sharply, and he quickly retreated, and the stone door behind him opened like this.

Su Muge looked at the stone statue, it was still the same as what she saw just now, as if the blink of her eyes just now was her hallucination.

Su Muge walked into the stone gate, a faint oil lamp was lit inside, she walked in with a torch, and she could vaguely see the situation inside.

It was decorated like a woman's boudoir, and the oil lamp was lit on the desk, and next to the desk was a large bookcase full of books.

Su Muge walked towards the bookcase, took a book from the bookcase and flipped through it at random, the content was probably some geographical explanation, she looked at it and put the book back on the shelf, and skimmed it at a glance, most of the books on it were miscellaneous books, that is, there were any types, but the dust on it showed that no one had come to this place for a long time.

She picked up a scroll that had been placed on the bookshelf and opened it.

As soon as the picture scroll was unfolded, Su Muge was attracted by the woman in the picture scroll.

"Beauty, ......"

The woman in the picture scroll is wearing a floor-length dress, sitting at the desk with a quiet expression, looking up at the person who painted for her, the pair of majestic phoenix eyes with a shallow soft smile, exuding infinite tenderness.

The person who painted her must be someone she loves and loves her deeply, otherwise how could she have such eyes.

"Why does this person look familiar?"

Su Muge took the scroll and looked at it repeatedly for a while, and suddenly remembered the portrait that Xiahou Mo showed her that day.

"Amazing Fairy!" Her mother-in-law!

Xiahou Mo said that the painting was still painted by everyone at that time, but she felt that it was not as good as this painting, or that the calligraphy and painting master painted a soulless beauty, but the person in this painting was alive.

"Could it be that there were also people in the royal family of Chu back then who had a crush on the Amazing Fairy?" But even so, there is no need to hide people in this dark place.

But this place is obviously for women, not a fairy in the sky, who else can it be?

Su Muge closed the scroll in his hand and put it back on the bookshelf.

Behind the bookcase, there is a large mahogany bed, and you can vaguely see that the bed tent should have been red back then, but the color on it has slowly faded after too much time.

Su Muge walked over and lifted the quilt on the bed, and dust came to his face.

"Ahem, ahem...... Hmmm......"

Su Muge covered her mouth and nose and retreated, and after the dust cleared, she stepped forward with a torch to light up the bed, but after looking around, she didn't find any difference.

Just as she was about to turn away, she paused and bowed down again.

"What's that......"

There was something on the board in the lower right corner of the wooden bed, like a pattern carved with a sharp object.

Su Muge stepped on the bed and looked at it seriously, and finally determined that it was a map, or an incomplete map.

Su Muge stared at the map, intending to engrave it deeply into his mind.

……

Outside the stone room, Xiahou Mo personally searched all the remote places in the Guerlain Palace, but still found no trace of Su Muge.

Xiahou Mo felt a burst of depression in his heart, although it could make him explode!

"Lord, the slave maid has searched all the clean rooms in the Guerlain Palace, and no trace of the princess has been found." Wang Nuo blamed herself very much, if she had gone into the house to drink water later, maybe the princess would not have disappeared.

Xiahou's dark eyes revealed a chill. "Let the Donglin send secret guards to look for it, and don't alarm anyone."

"Yes."

As soon as Wang Nuo left, Quan Ming walked over.

"King Jin, what a coincidence." Quan Ming took the initiative to speak.

Xiahou Mo turned to look at him. "It's a coincidence."

Quan Ming walked to Xiahou Mo's side, lowered his head and stroked his sleeves and said with a smile: "This hall heard that the King of Jin and the Princess of Jin have a very strong relationship, which is really the envy of this palace." ”

Xiahou Mo looked into the distance expressionlessly, and his voice was unwarm. "This king heard that the stars in the West Liang Kingdom bloom the best."

The smile on Kwon's face remained the same. "What is a sky full of stars? Flowers? ”

Xiahou Mo coldly hooked the corners of his lips. "No, it's grass."

When the words fell, Xiahou Mo strode away.

Quan Ming rolled up his sleeves and said to the person behind him: "The sky full of stars is not a flower? ”

The man behind him almost buried his head in his chest. "Whatever His Highness says, it is."

Quan Ming laughed out loud. "Poor mouth."

The man's head was buried even lower, who didn't know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had a mountain villa outside the palace, and I heard that the mountain villa was covered with stars......

It wasn't until Xiahou Mo's figure completely disappeared that Quan Ming turned around and returned to the banquet.

Unbeknownst to him, as soon as he left, someone walked out of a corner, looking at his back with an infatuated face.
