This is an underground palace and it is not appropriate to make loud noises. Huangfu Liyue and Mu Jingchen only replied softly: "Yes."
Then, the king stood there waiting, and the two of them walked deeper into the underground palace.
Deep in the underground palace is a stone corridor.
On both sides of the corridor, there are partitions made of stone walls.
In the compartments, there are coffins and luxurious burial objects of successive kings and queens.
The names of the ancestors of the Huangfu family in the coffins are also engraved on the stone pillars in the compartment.
Although this underground palace is very large, it is the resting place of the deceased after all, and it can be seen everywhere you go.
"If the queen were in this underground palace, she would be discovered at a glance.
In order to save time, the two planned to use the place at their feet as a rendezvous point and search separately.
Huangfu Liyue went to the left, and Mu Jingchen went to the right.
¡°They didn¡¯t let go of any hiding place they could find.
But after searching for more than half an hour, both of them found nothing.
The silence in this underground palace is terrifying.
Huangfu Liyue walked around every place where coffins were stored, looking everywhere, even inside the coffins.
If there is no coffin in the way, she will stop and pay homage first, and then check the surrounding area to see if there is a queen.
But after searching for so long, there is not even a trace of life in this underground palace, let alone the queen.
Huangfu Liyue walked completely around the underground palace.
But apart from the coffins of the ancestors, various luxurious burial objects, and some stories about the previous kings carved on the stone walls, there was nothing else at all.
After walking around, she returned to the meeting place she had agreed with Mu Jingchen.
At this time, Mu Jingchen had searched everywhere and was waiting for her.
Looking at Mu Jingchen's gloomy face, she already knew the result without asking.
"It's so weird, Jingchen, the queen clearly left the hospital and came to the underground palace, but she is not in the underground palace."
Mu Jingchen did not answer the call.
He looked up at the environment of the underground palace.
The design of this underground palace is very weird, it doesn¡¯t look like an ordinary tomb.
He raised his hand, lightly touched the pattern carved on the stone wall beside him, and touched and tested it carefully.
Huangfu Liyue walked up to him and asked in a low voice: "Do you suspect there is any secret passage or mechanism here?"
Mu Jingchen nodded without concealment.
"There is a mechanism at the entrance of this underground palace, and the design inside is so unique. I'm sure there are some secret passages hidden inside."
After listening to his words, Huangfu Liyue said: "Be careful, this place is very unusual. I almost got a poisonous needle at the door before."
"Well, don't worry."
Mu Jingchen put away his hands and stared carefully at the patterns on the stone wall beside him.
These patterns are intricate, but if you look closely, they seem to be regular.
Maybe, what do these patterns mean?
While Mu Jingchen was observing, Huangfu Liyue also went to observe.
They were all very sure that the queen must have entered this underground palace.
But the queen does not have three heads and six arms, and it is impossible for her to disappear inexplicably in the underground palace.
She must still be here!
The two looked apart.
They discovered that the patterns on the stone wall were almost every other distance.
Before, at the entrance of the underground palace, Huangfu Liyue accidentally touched the pattern on the stone door and triggered the mechanism, which triggered the three poisonous needles.
So, they guessed that these patterns must have some meaning.
However, the two of them looked around and didn't see any clues.
The search for the queen was fruitless, and the two could only return to where the king was.
The king stood in front of the coffins of his ancestors and waited for them for nearly two hours. He had already lost his patience.
Seeing them returning empty-handed and not seeing the queen, he asked, "Didn't you say the queen is in the underground palace?"
Huangfu Liyue was speechless. After a second's pause, he insisted: "Father, we have confirmed that the queen is in the underground palace. May I ask my father if there are any secret passages or other hidden places in this underground palace?"
The king looked gloomy and collapsed immediately.
"Nuoxi, have you had enough trouble?"
"Father, I am not fooling around. Don't you find it strange that the queen left the hospital late at night?"
The king¡¯s expression remained unchanged.
"The queen left the hospital late at night, and I have sent?Go and look for her. Just because she's not in the hospital doesn't mean she's in the underground palace.
¡° Even if you take ten thousand steps back, the queen cannot enter the underground palace. Even if she does, let me ask you, what is she doing here? "
This entire underground palace is filled with lifeless people who have been dead for many years.
Who would come to a place like this in the middle of the night?
Huangfu Liyue lowered his eyes slightly.
She also wanted to know what the queen wanted to do.
Seeing that the king's face was getting more and more ugly, Mu Jingchen looked at Huangfu Liyue and shook his head at her, indicating that she should stop talking.
Then, he stepped forward and directly bowed his head to apologize without arguing with the king.
"Your Majesty, I was too reckless. I broke into the underground palace late at night and disturbed my ancestors. I am willing to accept all punishments."
Mu Jingchen bowed his head in submission, and the anger in the king's heart dissipated a lot.
"Trespassing into forbidden areas and talking nonsense is indeed worthy of punishment. Tomorrow, you will go to the execution place yourself and receive twenty lashes!"
"Thank you for your forgiveness, Your Majesty."
Mu Jingchen knew that this punishment was extremely merciful.
"If you follow the laws of country y for trespassing into forbidden areas, I don't know how many times more serious than whipping."
The king then looked at Huangfu Nuo Xi and said: "And you, Nuo Xi, it seems that your father is usually too pampered. From today on, you will not be allowed to step out of the Chang'an Palace for three days. Treat yourself well." Think about your mistakes in the palace!"
Huangfu Liyue lowered his head and replied: "Yes, father."
The king looked at them, shook his head, and then walked out of the underground palace.
Huangfu Liyue and Mu Jingchen followed and followed the king out of the underground palace.
¡
The entrance to the underground palace.
The moment they stepped out of the underground palace, the stone door of the underground palace closed automatically.
After the king walked out of the underground palace, the guards waiting at the door greeted him.
"Your Majesty, the queen has been found, she has not left the hospital!"
Hearing this, the king turned around and glanced at Huangfu Liyue and Mu Jingchen.
Huangfu Liyue and Mu Jingchen looked at each other, feeling incredible.
The queen has actually returned to the hospital!
Now, the king will not believe their words anymore.
At this moment, in the eyes of the king, tonight is just a prank between the two of them.
The king frowned deeply, glanced at Huangfu Liyue with disappointment, and left the underground palace with his guards.
Huangfu Liyue looked at Mu Jingchen and asked doubtfully: "Jingchen, can the queen still have the ability to clone herself? She has already returned to the hospital. This is incredible!"
Mu Jingchen was silent for a few seconds before saying: "No, we have been searching in the underground palace for several hours. Judging from the time, she has time to return to the hospital.
However, as for why we didn't find it, it seems that there is only one explanation. There must be some secret passage or secret room in this underground palace! "(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
