Feng Ningyan took a look, wasn't this the path back to the Prince's Mansion? She could not help but mock him.
"In the eyes of Your Highness, the most interesting place in the capital is actually your Yuwang Mansion?"
On the other hand, Shen Ling Jue didn't tell her. After returning to the Royal Mansion, he quietly ordered the followers outside to carry the sedan directly into the depths of the garden.
The moment she got off the palanquin, Feng Ningyan was amused and surprised. "The Ten Thousand Buddha Pavilion?"
At this time, the Infinite Buddha Temple's gate had already opened for them.
In the tranquil courtyard, a few yellow leaves floated out of nowhere, causing this Ten Thousand Buddha Pavilion that was completely devoid of human life to have a tinge of vitality, a tinge of autumn.
This time, Shen Ling Jue held Feng Ning Yan's hand as they walked past the white jade floor of the hidden mechanism. He then pushed open the door and entered the first floor of the Thousand Blessings Pavilion.
When Feng Ning Yan had broken through the first layer's mechanism, she had always been curious as to whether the mechanism behind it would be even more exquisite.
Therefore, the moment she stepped into the Thousand Blessings Pavilion, she was extremely excited. She couldn't wait to find out where the crown prince's killers were and how those traps were hidden.
Shen Ling Jue was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
He lightly clapped his hands and the door of the Thousand Blessings Pavilion closed with a "creak" sound.
The light suddenly dimmed, and a long-haired woman in a long black robe walked out from the moon gate that led to the stairs.
She wore a silver mask and nothing but silver stockings and no shoes.
Her long hair fell to her heels, but she only tied it with a silver ribbon.
Feng Ningyan couldn't help but be startled when she saw the woman in black.
There was only one person in the Thousand Blessings Pavilion, and that woman, was Luo Yunxuan.
However, she had heard Luo Yunxuan's melody before, and it was ethereal; she had heard Luo Yunxuan's voice, and it was charming and seductive, filled with an indescribable temptation.
Therefore, Feng Ningyan had thought that Luo Yunxuan was a devastatingly beautiful, mature and charming woman.
Unexpectedly, the woman in front of him was wrapped in a hopeless and somber black.
"You are …" Miss Luo? "
The woman in black chuckled, walked to the front of Shen Lingjue and Feng Ningyan and bowed to them, "This servant, Luo Yunxuan greets Your Highness and Princess Yuwangfei. If wangfei is so surprised, could it be that your servant's disguise frightened you? "
How could Feng Ningyan be willing to admit that she was shocked? She hurriedly cleared her throat and said, "It's neither. I actually think Miss Luo's dressing is particularly interesting."
Luo Yunxuan looked at her disguise and said in a deep voice, "This servant is a part of the Ten Thousand Buddha Pavilion's mechanism. Black can allow me to hide inside invisibility, discover the enemy, and fight with them. As for this mask, it's because this servant's face is burnt to ashes. "
Feng Ningyan looked at her intelligent and clear eyes in astonishment, as she felt a wave of discomfort in her heart.
"Burn …" Is it related to the fire at the Palace when the Prince was young? "
After asking this, she realized that she had taken the liberty and hastily said "sorry" to Luo Yunxuan.
"The wangfei has guessed correctly." Shen Ling Jue nodded, "The reason this duke can live is because Yun Xuan sacrificed her life to save me. When the fire at the Guanju Palace broke out, This King was in the midst of a nap. If it wasn't for Yun Xuan desperately rushing in to find This King, the fire would have burned down more than just a palace and a [Mechanical Encyclopedia]. "
Luo Yunxuan quickly said, "That's what this servant should do, your highness, there's no need to mention it."
Feng Ningyan would never have thought that the woman who was protecting the Thousand Blessings Pavilion would actually be Shen Ling Jue's savior.
Hearing her voice, he guessed that she was not much older than Shen Lingjue. At that time when the Guan Hu Palace was on fire, she was probably only seven or eight years old, yet she had such loyalty and courage.
Feng Ningyan could not help but clasp her fist, feeling extremely ashamed. "Miss Luo is truly loyal, Feng Ningyan admires you. Rushing into the Ten Thousand Blessings Pavilion the day before yesterday … "Speaking of which, I have truly offended you."
Previously, she said that the Thousand Blessings Pavilion was a place filled with hidden filth, and it was because she thought that Shen Ling Jue went missing to meet the beautiful woman in the Thousand Blessings Pavilion that she came to catch up.
Luo Yunxuan quickly replied, "How can that be? Young Princess Wang has joined the army and has become famous. This has scared off the enemies in the southern border and this servant has admired you for a long time. As for that day … " She couldn't help but laugh. "Princess, you look so jealous. You look so honest and naive that it will leave a deep impression on this servant."
"Hmm?" When Shen Ling Jue heard that, he couldn't help but be extremely interested, "Princess, did you get jealous that day? What did she say? "
Feng Ning Yan was so embarrassed that she was about to die. She hastily elbowed Shen Ling Jue: "You're a man, why do you have so many things to do …" You didn't bring me here just to let me stand here and chat? "
Shen Ling Jue smiled as he held onto her wrist, "Yun Xuan, lead the way."
"Yes sir!" Hearing his order, Luo Yunxuan immediately became serious, and led Shen Ling Jue and Feng Ning Yan to the Moon Gate.
At this time, she lifted her hand and activated the mechanism on the first floor of the Thousand Blessings Pavilion. There was a very rhythmic sound of a mechanism opening up, and all those neat books and bookshelves suddenly sank into the ground.
Soon after, the same bookshelf appeared from its hiding spot. It didn't seem to have changed in any way, but it seemed to have changed in some way.
Luo Yun Chang threw out a red bean. The red bean bounced twice on the ground, and it was so light that no sound could be heard.
However, the moment that the red bean landed on the ground, all the bookshelves suddenly moved. The sound of metal clanging rose and fell, and the bookshelves seemed to come to life as they all surrounded the red bean.
Eight rows of bookshelves were crowded together, and the shape of the knife was exactly where the Eight Trigrams was. From the books on the bookshelf, a knife as thin as a cicada's wing flew out and cut the red bean into dust with a few swishes.
This change was very slow, but it happened in the time it took for a spark to fly off a piece of flint.
Such a light bean was actually enough to trigger such a mechanism. One could imagine what would happen if someone came in.
There were countless books on the shelves, and all of the pages were sharp blades that could cut through hair. Without waiting for the trespasser to land on his heels, he had turned into a pile of meat paste!
As a result, a portion of the assassins from last night died under these countless blades. Their flesh and blood were splattered everywhere, their tendons and bones were all broken, and they eventually became a pile of mud …
Feng Ningyan found it hard to believe that such a ruthless mechanism had actually been created by the legendary beautiful and gentle Imperial Concubine Min who possessed a power that could topple empires.
It was hard to tell if it was due to shock or fear, but Feng Ningyan's hands were slightly trembling.
Shen Ling Jue held her hand, "Last night you were curious about those assassins disappearing out of thin air. In reality, they didn't disappear, but once the mechanism was effective, they would automatically collect the blade pieces and mince the trash within the mechanism's range. They would then discharge them out of the Myriad Buddha Pavilion through the sewer and enter the hidden river behind the back mountain."
When Feng Ning Yan heard Shen Ling Jue's words, she couldn't help but shiver.
She murmured, "When dealing with corpses on the battlefield, they would usually bury or burn them. However, they are not as cruel as the mechanisms of the Thousand Blessings School …"
Luo Yunxuan coldly replied, "The wangfei shouldn't have the slightest bit of sympathy towards those assassins."
"Why …" Feng Ning Yan couldn't understand, "Why would Imperial Concubine Min set up such a terrifying place in a beautiful garden? And why did Crown Prince and Prince Cheng send people to infiltrate the Ten Thousand Buddha Pavilion at all costs? "
"This is exactly what this duke has brought you here to tell you."
