After lunch, Lan Xiaoyou didn't take a nap as usual—it was actually cultivation—and left Fengyi Palace with Xinghong and Taoxin in the name of walking, leaving Quan Tianfu behind.

The vicinity of the cold palace was inaccessible, and the three masters and servants entered the cold palace without being discovered. Lan Xiaoyu opened the mechanism, and a large hole appeared in the ground. took out three night pearls from his bosom and gave them one to Xinghong and Taoxin.

Xinghong walked to the entrance of the cave and took the night pearl to the entrance of the cave: "Niangniang, there is a stone step at the entrance of the cave that goes all the way down." ”

"Let's go down then." Lan Xiaoyou walked to the cave, thinking that he would go down first to take the lead, but Taoxin was a step faster, walking in front of Lan Xiaoyou and going down to the cave, and Xinghong took a step back to protect Lan Xiaoyou.

Lan Xiaoyou understood the thoughts of the two maids, smiled, and followed Taoxin into the cave.

The hole is relatively deep, and it took more than 30 steps to step on the flat ground, and it is estimated that this tunnel is at least ten meters from the ground. If it hadn't been dug so deep, it would have been discovered by the people in the palace a long time ago.

The tunnel was a little damp, due to the seepage of groundwater, but it had little impact on the three of them. The three of them held the Night Pearl and walked along the tunnel. I have to say that the tunnel is very dark and quiet, so quiet that Xinghong and Taoxin feel hairy in their hearts, and the excitement of exploring the tunnel is overpowered. If it weren't for Lan Xiaoyu's desire to protect her, the two girls would have wanted to go back and escape from the tunnel.

"Mother, there are three forks in front." Xinghong turned around and told Lan Xiaoyou about her discovery.

"Go up and see if there's any hint and see where each fork leads." Lan Xiaoyu said.

Naturally, there is a hint, this tunnel is specially built for Emperor Taizu to use, if there is no hint, what if Emperor Taizu gets lost in the tunnel?

The wall to the left of the three forks is carved with a pattern of only one inch in size, and the wall of the left fork is carved with the pattern of the palace; The wall of the middle bifurcation is carved with the image of a mighty gate; The wall of the fork on the right is carved with the image of a thatched house.

Lan Xiaoyou looked at it and analyzed: "This fork in the road engraved with the palace pattern should lead to other palaces in the palace; The fork carved with the pattern of the gate should lead to the palace gate; The fork in the carved thatched house pattern should lead to the outside of the capital. ”

Xinghong and Taoxin nodded in admiration, and Taoxin pointed to the middle road and asked, "Will we take the middle road when we leave the palace?" ”

Lan Xiaoyou shook his head: "Take the right road." I don't know if the exit of this road in the middle is outside the gate or inside the gate, even if it is outside the gate, but the palace gate is heavily guarded, and it is easy to be discovered by the guards. ”

Xinghong asked, "Niangniang, which way do we go now?" ”

Lan Xiaoyou said: "Let's explore the middle road first, see where the exit is, and verify whether the inference of the main palace is correct." ”

The two girls listened to Lan Xiaoyou completely, Lan Xiaoyou said to take the middle road, and they did not hesitate and turned into the middle fork in the road.

After walking for about seven or eight minutes, two more forks in the road appeared in front of them. The gate is still carved on the wall of the fork on the right, and a chair is carved into the wall of the fork on the left.

"This should be the dragon chair, and the fork on the left leads to the Taiji Hall."

Taiji Hall is the place where the emperor's civil and military officials went to the early dynasty.

This time there was no delay, Lan Xiaoyou took the two maids into the right fork. After walking for more than ten minutes, they finally reached the end of the tunnel and saw the stone steps going up.

"You guys are waiting for Hongu down there." Lan Xiaoyou stepped up the stone steps.

"Niangniang, let's go up and investigate." Peach Core stepped forward.

"It's useless for you to go up." Lan Xiaoyou said, "Who knows what the situation is above, it will inevitably attract the attention of the guards, the palace will not open the tunnel entrance, and you can't probe the situation above." The ears of this palace are more spiritual than yours, and they can hear the sounds outside, so they still go up to this palace. You're waiting down there. ”

"Uh-" The two girls now understood how powerful their mother was, and when they heard Lan Xiaoyou say this, they obediently waited at the bottom of the stone steps.

Lan Xiaoyou walked up the stone steps, came to the top, patted the floor above his head, released his divine sense, and looked out.

This tunnel entrance is in a private house not far from the Shenwu Gate, if you go out from here, it will not be discovered by the guards of the Shenwu Gate, but it will definitely be discovered by others. Because now there are people living in the houses. If you go out, you are likely to be regarded as a thief.

Lan Xiaoyou went down the stone steps and said to the two girls, "Go back, go and explore other forks in the road." ”

Xinghong and Taoxin were full of curiosity and asked, "Niangniang, is this tunnel entrance outside the palace or inside the palace?" ”

"In the house outside the Shenwu Gate." Lan Xiaoyou said, "If it's not an emergency, it's best not to touch this tunnel, there are ordinary people living outside, it's best not to disturb people's lives." ”

Xinghong and Taoxin nodded again and again, agreeing with Lan Xiaoyu's words.

The three of them returned to the second fork in the road, turned to the fork on the left with the dragon chair carved on the left, and sure enough, the exit of this road was in the Taiji Hall, and it was under the dragon chair. Although it is not the time to go to court, as the most important office of the palace, there are a lot of guards outside and eunuchs on duty inside, and it is impossible for Lan Xiaoyou to open the tunnel mouth to alarm them.

Retreating to the first fork, the three of them chose the fork that led to the rest of the palace. After a few minutes of walking, four more forks appeared on the road.

Lan Xiaoyou looked at the hint on the wall of the fork and said, "This fork in the road engraved with the dragon pattern should lead to the emperor's bedroom; This fork in the road, engraved with the image of a flying dragon, should lead to the imperial study; The nine-tailed phoenix perched on the branches, which should imply the Queen Mother, this fork in the road leads to Cining Palace; Another phoenix flies for nine days, symbolizing the queen, and this fork leads to the Fengyi Palace of the main palace. It seems that after returning to Fengyi Palace, the palace is going to find a good entrance to the tunnel. ”

Lan Xiaoyou took the two girls to verify her guess one by one, and in the tunnel leading to Fengyi Palace, they encountered more forks in the road, leading to other palaces in the harem. The whole tunnel is like a network, covering the entire palace. Such a huge project, I don't know how the original Emperor Taizu quietly built it. The most interesting thing is that Emperor Taizu did not leave the authentic information to future generations, and now Lan Xiaoyou is cheaper.

There is a legend that Emperor Taizu was poisoned by his son, so he didn't leave the authentic information to the enemy's son!

Lan Xiaoyou did not return to Fengyi Palace from the tunnel entrance of Fengyi Palace, but others in the palace suspected that she still returned to the entrance of the Cold Palace first, came out from the entrance of the Cold Palace, and then returned to Fengyi Palace with two maids.

By the time the three of them returned to Fengyi Palace, it was already almost dark, and Huang Furui was already waiting in Fengyi Palace.
