Dare to shut me up!
"He who trespasses dies?" What big words you have there! " Feng Ningyan said coldly.
The other laughed softly, "This is not a warning, but a warning. The Wanfu Pavilion was filled with traps, and in these eighteen years, other than the Imperial Concubine and the His Highness King Yu, the rest of the people had not been able to enter or leave. "Princess, please go back."
When Feng Ningyan heard the other party's seductive voice, the moment she thought about how Shen Lingjue was always lured here by the zither music, she became extremely angry.
"What treasure trove, it's obviously a place to hide the filth! Since you know that I am a Yuwangfei, then which part of the Prince Yu's Mansion can't I, Feng Ningyan, go to? How dare you shut me down here! I want to see how powerful you are! "
For some inexplicable reason, she began to argue with the woman who was speaking.
Wasn't it just a mechanism? She didn't believe that with her skill, she wouldn't be afraid even if she had thousands of men and horses, and she couldn't pass through the crappy chessboard in the courtyard!
"Does the wangfei have to provoke the mechanisms of the Imperial Concubine?" The other party's tone was tinged with anger.
The mechanism of the Imperial Concubine? Feng Ningyan had never known that the Royal Consort Min was actually someone who was proficient in mechanical arts …
"Well?" With a flick of her sword, she pointed in the direction of the voice.
"Then let's give it a try."
The floor tiles that rose and fell in the yard suddenly dropped to the ground with a cold sound. They were as flat as if there was no mechanism beneath them.
"Don't blame this little girl for not reminding you beforehand. Of these eight hundred and ten floor tiles, only nine won't trigger the mechanism. As for the rest, if you step wrong, there will be raging fire, sharp arrows, iron sand, lava, poisonous snakes, poisonous wasps, poisonous spiders, poisonous scorpions … If Princess Hua-Yang is harmed in any way, I shall not be responsible. Even Prince shall not blame me. "
Hearing how arrogant the lady was, Feng Ningyan could not help but laugh out loud: "You don't have to provoke me, I, Feng Ningyan, am not scared!"
She looked at the flat ground and thought, There are only nine pieces that can be stepped on, and that is 801 of them is a mechanism.
Why would the Royal Consort Min create such a complicated mechanism?
However, now was not the time to think about such things. Since she had boasted so much, she must think of a way to cross this courtyard.
She stood in place, adjusted her breathing, and quietly watched. After about the time it took to make a cup of tea, she suddenly leaped into the air and landed on the floor about ten feet away from her.
At this moment, the surroundings were completely silent, and the floor tiles didn't even budge an inch.
But when Feng Ningyan held her breath, she heard a very distant and very faint sound of movement, as if it came from underground.
If not for Feng Ningyan's hearing, she would not have heard her voice.
The woman didn't say anything.
Feng Ningyan laughed: "Continue."
She closed her eyes and held her breath as she listened to the sound of the underground machine turning. As soon as the sound stopped, she opened her eyes.
"Emptiness is the truth, but it is the truth." Emptiness is the truth, and it is the truth.
She muttered to herself as she turned around and jumped twenty feet to her right before landing on another piece of tile.
This time, there were still no traps triggered, and the woman inside the building also remained silent.
Feng Ningyan laughed: "I understand!"
"What do you understand?" The girl in the pavilion could not help but ask.
Feng Ningyan said: "All of the floor tiles are controlled by the Primal Chaos Array that is one meter below the ground. As for the rotation pattern of the Primal Chaos Array, it is precisely the law derived from the Eight Trigrams, which is unchanging. In other words, although these nine steps can pass the formation, these nine steps are not fixed onto one of the nine floor tiles.
"Nine changes, nine times the Gate of Life. There was another rule. The door of death in the first step was the door of life in the second step. This is the same thing I've learned from the Secret Art of the Mysterious Gate, which I learned during my march to set up the formation. "
"That's right!" "The wangfei is indeed knowledgeable and talented!" The woman in the building was inexplicably excited.
Feng Ningyan laughed and then suddenly jumped, after a few somersaults, she landed safely on the stairs in front of Wanfu Pavilion.
"I've already passed this mechanism. Can you show yourself now?"
The other party laughed in surprise. "So the one Princess Wangfei is interested in is not this Wanfu Pavilion, but this little girl …"
Feng Ningyan rolled her eyes: "Correcting it, I'm not interested. I'm just curious why someone like Shen Lingjue, who isn't even close to women, would hide her female friend in this with multiple mechanisms."
"A soulmate?" I am just an orphan adopted by Imperial Concubine. His Highness King Yu is the master, I am the servant. As I have learned the basics of mechanical arts from the Imperial Concubine, ever since the Wanfu Pavilion was completed, I have been standing guard here, not even taking a step out of the building. "
Feng Ningyan looked at the closed door: "Not going to take a step outside? Isn't that imprisonment? "
The other laughed, "No, it's a mission. The prince probably didn't know that Princess Hua-Yang was here today. If she wanted to come in and play some other day, it would be better to inform her. It's getting late, I'm afraid that the prince is going to return to the palace.
Finished speaking, the sound of the mechanism opening was heard again and again, the gate had been opened.
The tiles on the ground suddenly turned, revealing a path engraved with patterns, leading from Feng Ningyan's feet to the entrance of the courtyard.
Feng Ningyan was extremely suspicious. Firstly, she was curious about the reason why Imperial Concubine spent so much effort to build this Wanfu Pavilion, and secondly, she had yet to see the true face of the girl. Thirdly, she faintly felt that Shen Lingjue didn't come here to cheat her when she heard the zither music.
She knew that the mechanism to enter the Wanfu Pavilion would be even more complicated and terrifying, and felt that there was no longer a need to force things through, so she cupped her hands and said, "Goodbye."
"Respectfully sending off your consort." The woman's voice drifted behind Feng Ningyan, as if she had personally came down to see her off.
When Feng Ningyan walked out of the Wanfu Pavilion's courtyard, she somewhat unwillingly turned her head to look.
After being in Wanfu Pavilion for almost two hours, she was arguing with the lady upstairs and fighting with her intelligence. As soon as he went upstairs, he grabbed the tea on the table and gulped it down.
At this time, a voice of "Welcome back, your highness" suddenly came from downstairs. She spat out the tea in her mouth and hurriedly told Lv Ruo and Lan Zhu to close the door before she went to change her maid clothes.
"Princess hasn't woken up yet, right?" Shen Lingjue quickly walked up the stairs and asked the servant standing by the side.
"Sister Lv Ruo said that Princess Hua-jie contracted a cold and is still sleeping …" The maidservants replied.
Shen Lingjue walked to the door of the bedroom and waved the pot of osmanthus wine in her hand, smiling: "Since you are infected with the cold, then this empress dowager will reward you with the aged osmanthus wine, this king will have to drink it all by himself."
Before he could finish his sentence, the door suddenly opened. A hand reached out and grabbed the osmanthus wine.
"An alcoholic? What kind of person drinks in the morning? " Feng Ningyan smelled the aroma of the wine and quickly hid the osmanthus wine behind him.
Shen Lingjue walked into the room with his hands behind her back. She turned around, pressed both of his hands on the door on either side of Feng Ningyan, and bent down to whisper into her ear. "Since people like to catch spies in the morning, naturally there will also be people who like to drink in the morning."
