This is the underground palace. It is not suitable to make loud noises. Huangfu Liyue and Mu Jingchen only whispered back: "Yes."

Then, the king stood there and waited, and the two of them walked to the depths of the underground palace.

In the depths of the underground palace, there is a stone-cast corridor.

On both sides of the promenade, there are compartments made of stone walls.

In the compartment, the coffins and extravagant funerary objects of the kings and queens were placed.

The stone pillars in the compartment are also engraved with the names of the ancestors of the Huangfu family in the coffin.

Although this underground palace is very large, it is after all the resting place of the deceased, and you can see wherever you go.

If the queen is in this underground palace, she will definitely be spotted at a glance.

In order to save time, the two plan to use this place under their feet as the meeting place and look for them separately.

Huangfu Liyue went to the left, and Mu Jingchen went to the right.

They have not let go of everything where they can hide.

But after searching for more than half an hour, both of them found nothing.

In this underground palace, it was quiet and terrible.

Huangfu Liyue walked around every place where the coffin was stored and looked around, not even letting go of the inside of the coffin.

Without access to a coffin, she would stay there, pay a respect first, and then check whether there is a queen in the surrounding area.

It can be found for so long that there is not even a trace of life in this underground palace, let alone the queen.

Huangfu Liyue walked around the underground palace for a full circle.

But apart from the coffins of the ancestors, all kinds of extravagant funerary objects, and some stories about successive kings carved on the stone walls, there was nothing else at all.

After walking around, she returned to the meeting place that she had agreed with Mu Jingchen.

At this time, Mu Jingchen had also searched all places and was waiting for her on the spot.

Looking at Mu Jingchen's gloomy face, she knew the result without asking.

"It's too weird, Jing Chen, the queen obviously came out of the hospital and came to the underground palace, but she was not in the underground palace."

Mu Jingchen did not answer.

He looked up at the environment of the underground palace.

The design of this underground palace is very strange, not like an ordinary tomb.

He raised his hand, touched the pattern carved on the stone wall next to him, and touched it carefully.

Huangfu Liyue walked up to him and asked in a low voice, "Are you doubting that there is any secret path or mechanism here?"

Mu Jingchen nodded without concealment.

"There is a mechanism at the gate of the underground palace, and the design inside is so unique, there is no secret way inside."

After hearing what he said, Huangfu Liyue exhorted: "Be careful, it's very unusual here. I almost got a poisoned shot at the door before."

"Well, don't worry."

Mu Jingchen put away his hand and stared carefully at the pattern on the stone wall beside him.

These patterns are intricate, but when you look closely, they seem to be regular.

Maybe, what do these patterns mean?

When Mu Jingchen was observing, Huangfu Liyue also went to observe.

They are 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 in the underground palace inexplicably.

She must still be here!

The two watched separately.

They found that the patterns on the stone wall are almost every other distance.

Before at the gate of the underground palace, Huangfu Liyue accidentally touched the pattern on the stone gate at the gate, and touched the mechanism before triggering the three poisonous needles.

Therefore, they guessed that these patterns must have some meaning.

It's just that the two looked around and didn't see any clues.

To find the queen to no avail, the two can only return to the place where the king is.

The king stood in front of the ancestor's coffin and waited for them for nearly two hours. He had already run out of patience.

Seeing them returning empty-handed and not seeing the queen, he questioned: "Didn't you say that the queen is in the underground palace?"

Huangfu Liyue was speechless, and after a second pause, he insisted: "Father, we confirm that the queen is in the underground palace, dare to ask my father, is there any hidden place in this underground palace?"

The king's face was somber that he collapsed at once.

"Nuo Xi, have you had enough trouble?"

"Father, I didn't make a fool of myself. Don't you think it's strange that the queen left the hospital late at night?"

The king's face did not fluctuate.

"The queen left the hospital late at night. I have sent someone to look for it. She is not in the hospital, which does not mean that she is in the underground palace.

After ten thousand steps, the queen can't enter the underground palace. Even if she enters, I will ask you, what is she doing here? "

This entire underground palace is a breathless person who has been dead for many years.

Who would come to such a place in the middle of the night?

Huangfu Liyue looked down slightly.

She also wanted to know what the queen wanted to do.

Seeing that the king's face became more and more ugly, Mu Jingchen looked at Huangfu Liyue, and shook his head at her, beckoning her not to speak any more.

Afterwards, he stepped forward, did not argue with the king, and bowed his head directly to plead guilty.

"Your Majesty, I was too reckless. I broke into the underground palace late at night and disturbed the ancestors. I was willing to accept all the punishments."

Mu Jingchen bowed his head and subdued, the king's anger dissipated a lot.

"Bringing into the forbidden ground without permission, talking nonsense, indeed deserves punishment, tomorrow, you will go to the execution office by yourself and get twenty lashes!"

"Thank your majesty for forgiveness."

Mu Jingchen knew that this punishment was already extremely generous.

If in accordance with the law of country Y to trespass into the forbidden land, it is not known how much more severe it is than whipping.

The king immediately looked at Huangfu Nuoxi, and said: "And you, Nuoxi, it seems that Father Wang is usually too spoiled for you. From today, within three days, you are not allowed to take another step out of the Chang'an Temple. Please be patient. I thought about it in the temple!"

Huangfu Liyue lowered her head and replied, "Yes, Father."

The king looked at them, shook his head, and then walked outside the underground palace.

Huangfu Liyue and Mu Jingchen followed and followed the king out of the underground palace.



The gate of the underground palace.

The moment they stepped out of the underground palace, the stone gate of the underground palace closed automatically.

After the king walked out of the underground palace, the guard waiting at the door greeted him.

"Your Majesty, the queen has been found, she has not left the hospital!"

Hearing this, the king turned and looked at Huangfu Liyue and Mu Jingchen.

Huangfu Liyue and Mu Jingchen looked at each other, and they both felt incredible.

The queen has actually returned to the hospital!

Now the king would not believe their words.

At this moment, in the eyes of the king, tonight is a prank between the two of them.

The king frowned deeply, looked at Huangfu Liyue disappointedly, and left the underground palace with the guards.

Huangfu Liyue looked at Mu Jingchen, and said in doubt: "Jingchen, can the queen have a clone operation? 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 a few hours, judging by time, she has time to return to the hospital.

However, as for why we didn't find out, it seems that there is only one explanation. There is definitely some secret passage or secret room in this underground palace! "
