Suddenly, a falcon broke into the window, pounced into Meng Qianqian's tent, and grabbed the poisonous snake out.

The venomous snake didn't even have time to struggle before the falcon threw it to death.

The falcon was not satisfied with just falling down, it also stretched out its claws and stomped on it a few times!

I’m tired of living like this, you’re my long-term meal ticket!

Meng Qianqian noticed the poisonous snake approaching.

After all, she has the golden silkworm Gu given by the Miao King in her body, and no poisonous creature within a few miles can escape the golden silkworm Gu's perception.

She stood up and picked up the venomous snake that was knocked unconscious by the falcon. It turned out to be a five-step snake with extremely venom.

People who don't have the golden silkworm Gu will have no time to detoxify after being bitten.

The other party wants to kill her.

As for who this person is, it is not difficult to guess.

She told the Queen during the day that she was going to go through the secret passage to rescue Emperor Liang, but at night someone came to take his and her life.

She was curious.

Why didn’t the Queen want Emperor Liang to be rescued?

Emperor Liang's death did not benefit her at all. What was her motive for insisting on doing so?

Meng Qianqian couldn't understand.

She asked the falcon to dispose of the snake's body.

The falcon picked it up and flew away.

Just as Meng Qianqian lay down, the falcon flew back and gestured anxiously with its wings to her.

Meng Qianqian understood and immediately opened the curtain and got downstairs.

Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night, and she usually slept with her clothes on.

As soon as she left the room, she heard an unusual noise, like a man's footsteps.

The man who sneaked into Kunning Palace in the middle of the night must be no ordinary person.

She immediately concealed her breath and walked over quietly.

The sound came from the Queen's room.

She hid carefully under the windowsill and pricked her ears high.

"Why did you ask me to come to see you so late at night?"

When she heard this familiar male voice, Meng Qianqian could hardly believe her ears.

Hu Lie.

Is it him? !

"Feng Yin discovered the secret of the underground palace, and she plans to lead people down to rescue them personally."

It's the Queen's voice.

"It would be of no use if she went."

"But she...already had a foolproof plan!"

The queen briefly recounted her conversation with Meng Qianqian during the day.

Hu Lie fell into deep thought: "She hired a Gu Master? Does she know anyone from Miaojiang?"

The Queen said, "That's what she said. Once she finds His Majesty in the underground palace and goes to the entrance of the imperial mausoleum with His Majesty, the Gu Master will know how to lead the Black Armored Army to find her."

Hu Lie asked: "You...didn't do anything?"

The queen paused and said nothing.

Hu Lie said: "The Queen had better not act rashly."

The Queen said: "I am doing this for your own good..."

The more Meng Qianqian listened, the more she felt something was wrong.

The fact that they were so familiar with each other and had a late-night secret meeting was shocking enough, but what was going on with the Queen's somewhat aggrieved tone?

Not only are they secretly colluding with each other, they are also... entangled with each other, making Emperor Liang wear a big green hat!

If this is true, then many things that were once illogical can be explained.

Obviously, it would be more beneficial to the queen if the crown prince, whose maternal family was weak, ascended the throne, but the queen chose the Prince of Jin, who had a powerful maternal family.

It is also obvious that her position in the harem is stable. As long as His Majesty is alive, she will be the mother of the country.

But they insisted on trapping Your Majesty in the imperial mausoleum to die as a trapped beast.

It’s true... you can’t judge a person by his appearance.

I wonder if Concubine Hu knows that her elder brother and the Queen have been secretly having an affair?

Hu Lie is gone.

The queen sent someone to the eldest princess' room.

Meng Qianqian hurriedly took a detour and lay back down in the tent first.

"Princess, I am Yuanyang. It's hot today. I will change your bed into a thinner blanket."

Yuanyang pushed the door open holding a thin quilt.

As she walked, she was careful to be wary of the poisonous snakes on the ground.

"The eldest princess."

She came to the bed and raised her hand to draw aside the curtain.

Meng Qianqian asked calmly, "What's the matter?"

Yuanyang was startled: "Princess, are you okay?"

Meng Qianqian asked: "What can I do for you?"

Yuanyang's eyes flashed: "This servant... This servant is worried that the princess is too hot."

Meng Qianqian lay down.

The mandarin duck retreated calmly.

After dealing with the snake's corpse, the falcon came back proudly to collect the dried meat reward.

Meng Qianqian: "Bring the poisonous snake back."

Falcon: “…”

Meng Qianqian took the poisonous snake and ran to the queen's window sill. She was about to throw it onto the queen's phoenix bed, but after hesitating for a moment, she called a falcon and asked it to take the poisonous snake to Concubine Hu's bedroom.

Then she changed into light clothes, took a few guards from the princess's mansion, went to the cold palace with great fanfare, and jumped into the dry well.

In the dark night, a figure flashed past the wall of the cold palace.

Half an hour later, Hu Lie met his trusted secret guard in the carriage.

"General, the princess has gone down the dry well."

Hu Lie narrowed his eyes slightly.

Soon, another secret guard boarded the carriage and reported to Hu Lie: "General, the princess's army is gathering."

Hu Lie paced in the room.

"uncle!"

Prince Jin arrived overnight, "I heard that the eldest princess went to rescue father!"

Hu Lie nodded: "She found a Gu Master who can use Gu to find her whereabouts. As long as she meets up with His Majesty in the underground palace and finds the exit of the imperial mausoleum, her black-armored army will risk their lives to rescue them."

King Jin frowned and said, "Uncle! What should we do?"

Hu Lie said: "Don't panic yet, the people in the underground palace may have succeeded."

King Jin took a deep breath and said, "What if... I mean, what if I fail?"

Hu Lie calmly answered: "Remember I told you it was three days."

"Yes."

King Jin replied.

Hu Lie said confidently, "In fact, there are only two days left. Today, the entrance to the imperial mausoleum will be opened, and my army has already ambushed nearby. We are just waiting for them to come out and then we will capture them all in one fell swoop!"

"So she's only gathering her forces today, it's already too late!"

-

Imperial mausoleum.

After going through many rounds of traps and assassinations, Emperor Liang, King Miao, Lu Yuan, Lu Qi, and Bao Zhuzhu, who was eating a small osmanthus cake with a grunt, finally came to a clear and open plain.

At the end of the flat ground is a long walkway and a gate that seems to soar into the clouds.

King Miao said: "Your imperial mausoleum is built magnificently. Is there any extra space? Let me lie there a hundred years later!"

Emperor Liang rolled his eyes at him.

If he hadn't been lying on his back, unable to move, Emperor Liang would have given him a big punch.

"Hey, are we almost there?"

The Miao King asked.

Emperor Liang said weakly, "We're here. That door is the entrance."

The Miao King asked: "How do we open that door?"

"Can't open."

Emperor Liang paused, and then said, "You can knock it with a stone. If someone outside hears it, maybe it will open the mechanism."

The Miao King asked, "What if the person standing outside is an enemy?"

Emperor Liang said nothing.

King Miao: "Okay, okay, I'll try!"

He strode forward, chopped off a corner of the guardrail with one palm, picked it up and knocked on the stone door with it.

"anyone there?"

King Miao knocked on the door and shouted, "I have your emperor in my hands! If you don't open the door, I will chop off one of his fingers—"

With a loud bang, a towering stone door like a mountain gate slowly opened in the tomb.
