Ye Cen searched her body and found a letter. She walked into the hall, raised her hand and held it close to the candle, and it burned up in a short time.

Rong Shi reported in a low voice: "Master, I have searched the hall and found an empty dark room inside."

"But there seems to be a secret passage underneath. After many attempts, it seems to be blocked and cannot be opened."

Xie Yuheng curled his lips and smiled, "It doesn't matter, someone is waiting for you."

……

The Wusun royal city is three miles outside the west gate.

Because of the heavy rain yesterday, the secret passage had been in disrepair for a long time and a lot of water had entered it.

Chi Yao held the bag in one hand and a candle in the other, and walked forward on the water.

She discovered this secret passage after she moved into the Queen Mother's Palace. It was not originally there in the Queen's Palace.

She sneered, compared with the queen mother, the queen was not even a family member after all.

After all, it’s all the fault of that idiot Chi Guanxu.

The current situation has been caused by the inability to win over Xie Yuheng, and the inability to kill him.

But this has nothing to do with her. She has transferred a lot of money over the years. So what if the country is destroyed and the family is ruined?

She, Chi Yao, can live a comfortable life anywhere!

She didn't know how long she walked before she saw the stairs at the end, but she didn't rush forward.

He walked lightly, held his breath and listened carefully, making sure there was no movement outside before cautiously turning the secret passage mechanism.

In the pitch-dark forest, a woman suddenly emerged from behind a solitary grave, holding a faint light.

Even after seeing it, I still felt a little creepy...

If an uninformed person saw this, he would scream "ghost!" and run three miles away immediately.

Chi Yao looked around and saw that everything was quiet.

Even the plants and trees were wary of each other and did not say a word.

She breathed a sigh of relief, lifted her bag, and walked out.

After Chi Yao walked a dozen steps and was completely away from the exit of the secret passage, the dark shadows of the trees suddenly moved, and a number of people jumped out and pounced on him. In a moment, they were captured.

The candle had fallen to the ground during the fight, leaving only a faint light that was about to go out.

A slender hand picked it up and brought it close to Chi Yao's face, "Hello again, Queen Mother."

The Empress Dowager spoke these words very emphatically. Chi Yao suddenly looked up and met Pei Qiu's smiling eyes.

She gritted her teeth, her eyes almost spitting fire, "How did you know the secret passage here, you bitch?"

"Is this difficult?" Pei Qiu blinked and said in a mocking tone.

"Compared to the latecomer, the Empress Dowager, there are countless elderly people who have lived in the palace for generations."

"It's because your Majesty is so unpopular that everyone is hiding it from you."

"Besides, why did Grandmother send me out of the palace? Didn't the Queen Mother ever think about why?"

After she finished speaking, she covered her lips and giggled, with curved eyebrows and eyes, like an innocent and bright girl.

But before the laughter could even end, in the blink of an eye, the girl raised her hand and slapped Chi Yao heavily on the face.

Chi Yao's head was knocked to one side, and her ears were buzzing. After a long time, she laughed softly.

She glanced at the Liang soldiers around her, curled her lips and smiled, "During this Western Expedition, the Marquis of Jiangling is even more powerful than the commander-in-chief."

"Guess what, Xiao Qiu'er, which emperor can tolerate his subjects being more powerful than him?"

"Although Wusun was defeated, millions of people are still here."

"How about we shake hands and make peace, and I help Marquis Jiangling ascend to the throne?"

In a blatant attempt to sow discord, Pei Qiu tilted his head and looked Chi Yao up and down, "Just you?"

"A loser like you is qualified to talk nonsense here?"
