Chapter 231: Re-entering Huaiyue Tower
Coming out of the British Palace, Xiao Ruyu's mood was very heavy. She felt that the matter of killing Gu was far more complicated than what King Ying had introduced, and even the death of the first queen and several palace concubines involved a big conspiracy. The Emperor's words to the King are full of loopholes, and it is likely that he is deceiving the King or concealing the real murderer.
Although the emperor's later explanation was reasonable, it could not prove that he was not the person behind the scenes of Gonggong Zhou. Thinking about it, the king of England also had doubts, but because the emperor was his biological father, he couldn't find direct evidence to prove that his father ordered the death of his mother, so he felt painful and sad when he mentioned killing Gu.
Could it be that the assassination that night had something to do with King Xian? In order to hide a secret for King Xian, the emperor instructed Gonggong Zhou to kill the first queen and several palace concubines? If that's the case, she is not worth it for these women, no matter what the reason, these pillow people are so merciless that they will give up, which can indeed be called ruthless and unjust.
Wealth is moving, and power will make people inhuman, she is once again deeply glad that Han Yixuan is not interested in this, otherwise they must have no future, and even wave their swords at each other, this result is very terrifying, which she does not want to see.
I don't know how much Han Yixuan knows about this royal secret, and he has to think about how to let the emperor know about the murder Gu. Listening to the meaning of the King of England, the emperor is very taboo about murderous Gu, and he doesn't even want to mention it, if he rashly asks her father or Yixuan to mention it to the emperor, it will be bad if the emperor is angry. Although the emperor is majestic and fair on the face, he is definitely not an open-minded person, and she doesn't want the people she cares about to set herself on fire.
Next, Xiao Ruyu began to rectify the manpower, on the one hand, to step up the investigation of the immortal drunk seeds, and on the other hand, to investigate where the immortal drunk sold in Huaiyue Mansion came from. Immortal drunk can now be said to be the lifeblood of the prince, he must be very protective of the thief, he has not found a clue for such a long time, can this thing not fly?
According to the situation of following Zhang Renhe at the beginning, it can be determined that Huaiyue Tower does have a very secret room, as for whether those immortals are drunk in that secret room, she is not sure.
The location of that secret room has not been discovered until now next summer, which made Xiao Ruyu very surprised, and he was ready to come to the door to find it in person, as long as this secret room really existed, he couldn't find it if he didn't believe it.
That night, Xiao Ruyu and Mingqiu Mingxia and a few of his subordinates went to Huaiyue Tower in black clothes and masks. It's been the second watch, and the Huaiyue Building is still very lively, red men and green women are drunk and golden, men are more indulgent in the dark, and women are more casual and presumptuous.
The chaos in Huaiyue Tower did not affect Xiao Ruyu and them, and arranged for Ming Qiu to bring a few of his men to pick them up outside, and Xiao Ruyu only took Ming Xia to Yue into the backyard of Huaiyue Tower. They cautiously groped around the rockery, looking for all the clues that might hide the secret room.
In order to save time, the two acted separately, and finally in the middle round, the two shook their heads in unison when they waited for the round, and they didn't notice it. Xiao Ruyu's eyes were bright and scary in the night, and she stared at the Huaiyue Tower in front of her motionlessly. The night breeze was a little cold, but Ming Xia obviously felt that she had a bit of fire on her, as if she was going to burn the night.
He could see that the eldest lady was very anxious, and he was also very impatient, he had never encountered such a difficult bone for so many years, and the secret room was as if it had evaporated, and there was no way to find it.
It's a pity that Zhang Renhe is dead, and if he hadn't died, he might have been able to ask something. He disappeared when he followed him into Huaiyue Tower, and he must have entered the secret room. It's a pity that this guy died too early, and it's also to blame that they started late, if they had done it earlier, they would have found the secret room by now.
"Where's Miss Huaiyue's room?" Xiao Ruyu asked Mingxia softly. It is certainly not easy for a woman who can still be like a fish in water in a group of powerful people in the capital, maybe you can find some clues from her.
"The innermost room on the east side of the third floor, No, is the one that is particularly bright." Ming Xia pointed to the room and showed it to Xiao Ruyu.
"Have you seen her room?" Xiao Ruyu raised her head and looked at it, then turned her head and asked.
"I've checked it, and no abnormalities were found, if there is a secret room, it must be on the first floor, it can't be on the third floor." Ming Xia said.
"Which room did Zhang Renhe go to when he came to Huaiyue Tower?" Xiao Ruyu asked.
"Just below Miss Huaiyue, there is a room of a girl named Xinyue, and the two of them are going up and down the stairs." Ming Xia said. "We've seen it there too, and there's no problem."
"Oh? Such a coincidence? Xiao Ruyu frowned, feeling a little strange, it turned out to be going up and down the stairs, there must be something related.
"Whose room is this location on the first floor?" Xiao Ruyu asked.
"It's Mother Flower's room." Ming Xia replied that he had led his men down many times, and he had rummaged through several rooms many times but did not find it, and he was a little aggrieved.
"Let's go to Mother Hua's room first." Xiao Ruyu commanded.
The two came to Mother Hua's room, Mother Hua was entertaining guests in the front hall at this time, there was no one in the room, and there were two old mothers guarding outside the room.
These two old mothers look very calm and capable, and they should know some martial arts, and it is difficult for them to sneak into the house with them guarding the door.
Xiao Ruyu touched her chin and thought about it, turned her head and instructed Ming Xia a few words, Ming Xia first made a bitter face, and then was glared at by Xiao Ruyu and immediately nodded helplessly and left. After a while, Ming Xia, dressed as a swinger, staggered towards this, seeing that his eyes were confused, his walking was shaky, and he was still carrying a pot of wine in his hand, and he looked drunk and couldn't find a room.
The two old mothers glanced at each other, and one of them stepped forward to block the person, signaling him to leave, not doing it in the next summer, jumping and splashing and even rolling and crying, attracting many people to come out and watch.
Taking advantage of the distraction of the two old mothers, Xiao Ruyu pushed open the door and broke in. It was dark inside, in stark contrast to the bright lights outside. Xiao Ruyu didn't dare to light the candle, so she could only tuck the night pearl into her sleeve and check it in the room with the faint light from her sleeve.
The decoration of the house is very luxurious, and the decoration is a little girly. It seems that the' flower mother still has a proper girlish heart, no wonder she likes to pretend to be tender.
Xiao Ruyu took a turn in the room, looked at the corners and under the bed, and found no traces of the secret room mechanism, she leaned against the big round pillar in the center of the room and kicked it in annoyance, bang, the pillar made a muffled sound, she was startled, suddenly her eyes lit up, and she quickly began to check around the pillar.
The building was a wooden structure, and it was normal to have a few such pillars, they were used for load-bearing, but it seemed to be empty when she heard the sound just now, and she searched carefully to confirm her guess. This pillar is indeed famous.
This is not made of a single piece of wood, but is made of two halves of wood, the middle of the wood has been hollowed out, and the secret of the secret room of Huaiyue Tower should be in it. If you hadn't accidentally kicked the pillar and discovered the secret, it would have been difficult to discover the mystery on the pillar with the naked eye.
The outside of the pillar is carved with exquisite auspicious patterns, and the splicing is perfectly covered by the prominent lines, if you don't grope carefully, you can't find the gap in the splicing, no wonder they can't find the mechanism next summer, it's strange that such a perfect mechanism can be found.
Touching the splicing, she carefully broke it out, but she didn't break it, she lifted her breath and tried her hands again, but she still didn't move. She stopped and circled around the pillar, it seemed that she was using the wrong method, Mother Hua couldn't be stronger than her, there must be other methods.
I tried to push some of it in the opposite direction again, and this time I did. Xiao Ruyu was overjoyed, and tried to push it again, but the wind rushed up from the gap just now, Xiao Ruyu hurriedly returned the pillar to its original position, suppressed the ecstasy in her heart, and found it.
sent a signal for Ming Xia to answer, and she took advantage of the chaos to get out of the house again. Came to the hidden place, and told Ming Xia about the situation of the pillars, Ming Xia admired her observation very much, he and a few of his subordinates never suspected that there was a problem with these pillars, and thought that this was a load-bearing ordinary pillar, it turned out that the secret was in it, I really didn't expect it.
The two of them went up to Xinyue's room on the second floor and found the same pillars in the same location, and Xiao Ruyu could now determine that these pillars were the entrance to the secret room. Listening to Ming Xia's statement, such pillars are found in several rooms of Huaiyue Tower, no wonder Zhang Renhe disappeared when he came to Huaiyue Tower, and then suddenly appeared in other rooms, it seems that he blocked everyone's eyes through these entrances.
The secret was found, but they did not dare to go down immediately. The devil knows if there is an ambush down there, and if it is discovered, it will be troublesome. Xiao Ruyu discussed with Ming Xia and prepared to go out, there were too few people coming tonight, and they didn't know anything about the situation in the secret room, so they would definitely suffer if they went down, so let's make adequate preparations first.
Xiao Ruyu is still willing to hand over this matter to the Shura Palace, those elders in the Shura Hall have extraordinary martial arts and rich experience in the rivers and lakes, so it will be safer for them to do it. In addition, she also wants to train the demons, real combat is the best experience, and only through constant battles will the demons become more mature.
