It makes sense that no one comes to this miserable place like Leng Gong.

Behind the palace is the palace wall, which blocks all the light. This kind of place generally has bad feng shui, so either thatched houses or firewood sheds are built.

As soon as she walked to the dilapidated gate of the palace, Jiang Fu felt a gust of cool wind blowing out from inside along the incomplete gate, causing the hair on her forehead to flutter.

"It's truly a cold palace. It's as cold as an ice cellar."

She touched her arms that were covered in goosebumps. Fortunately, she was wearing a palace maid's coat, or the two pieces of cloth she had just worn would have saved her from freezing to death in the dog days of summer.

Chen Jian'an looked around and saw that except for this courtyard gate, there were thick and high walls all around.

"The Cold Palace is used to imprison concubines who have made mistakes throughout the ages, and it is not used to imprison prisoners. Why is there such a high wall?

The East and West are now here, let’s go in and take a look!”

After saying that, he pushed open the door and walked in.

Jiang Fu followed him into the courtyard, but when she went in, she saw nothing except a dilapidated palace and weeds and fallen leaves.

One of them went to the main hall and the other to the side hall. They each inspected the area but found nothing.

"Are we looking in the wrong place?"

Jiang Fu sat down on the ancient well in the yard and asked, holding her chin.

No matter how I look at the small yard, I don’t want a place to hide things.

Moreover, the fallen leaves in this damn place are thick and thick, and it looks like no one has swept them away for several years.

The tables and beds in the side hall were eaten away and rotten by insects and ants, and there was a thick layer of dust on the ground. Apart from my own footprints, there were no traces of anyone else's presence.

Chen Jian'an also started to murmur in his heart, could he really have guessed wrong?

"You should go back first. If you stay out too long to avoid arousing suspicion, I will..."

Before he could finish his words, a cold arrow suddenly shot towards Jiang Fu from outside the door.

Chen Jian'an pushed Jiang Fu quickly with both eyes and hands, allowing her to dodge the arrow that was coming quickly.

But Jiang Fu was pushed unsteadily by her and fell into the dry well.

"ah!"

Her voice echoed in the dry well. Chen Jianan turned around to pull her but was a step too late and saw that she had disappeared.

The door of the cold palace was kicked open from the outside, and the already rotten door fell to the ground and died.

Several guards pulled out their swords and surrounded Chen Jian'an.

"Bold! Anyone who dares to break into this important place in the cold palace will be captured as soon as possible!"

Chen Jian'an was not armed. He looked at the guards around him with a solemn expression and clenched his fists, as if he was thinking about whether to take action against them.

"Go! Catch him!"

Seeing that he was trying to resist, the guards rushed forward and prepared to attack him.

Chen Jian'an turned around, decisively raised his legs and stepped onto the dry well, jumped down, and let all the guards who rushed towards him escape.

The dry well was very deep, and the surrounding well walls were not smooth. Chen Jianan stepped on the raised bricks on the well wall, all the way down, and landed smoothly on the ground.

As soon as he landed, Jiang Fu kicked him in the thigh.

Chen Jian'an, who didn't expect to be attacked by surprise, was kicked so hard that he almost fell against the wall.

"You piece of shit, if I hadn't reacted, I would have fallen to death just now!"

Jiang Fu said as she quietly rubbed her waist that was hit by the bulging bricks on the well wall.

Chen Jian'an heard the sound of breaking through the air when she fell down, and guessed that there must be a place to stay down below, so he jumped down when she was being chased and intercepted.

He jumped down firstly to avoid the guards, and secondly to see how Jiang Fu was doing. Unexpectedly, he was so kind that he almost let her stick him to the wall.

"Is your hand hurt?"

He turned around and was about to settle the score with her when he saw that Jiang Fu's scratched palm was bleeding. He frowned and took out the handkerchief from his arms to wipe it for her.

Only then did Jiang Fu notice the injury on her hand. Her waist was so painful before that she didn't even notice it.

"It doesn't matter, you are smart enough to come down and take a look.

Well, there is a road over there, go and take a look, maybe the place you are looking for is hidden under the well."

Chen Jian'an looked in the direction she pointed, and sure enough there was a narrow opening there, which looked like it could only accommodate one person.

His eyes lit up, he opened his long legs and walked inside.

"Walk!"

Jiang Fu didn't dare to go in because it was too dark. Seeing Chen Jian'an taking the lead to go inside, she followed him and groped her way in.

When she first entered the cave, it was very narrow. Jiang Fu could feel her shoulders rubbing against the mud wall. But the further inside, the wider the cave became. After half a cup of tea, Chen Jian'an in front stopped.

Jiang Fu almost bumped into his back. Fortunately, she stopped quickly and walked out from him and stood side by side. When she looked ahead, she saw two large iron doors blocking the front.

"This door looks thick enough."

There are some mottled rust stains on the big iron door, and a circular pattern is carved in the middle. The style is very complicated, like vines with flowers, wrapped around each other.

Jiang Fu circled around the door twice before she realized something was wrong.

"No, there isn't even a keyhole on this door. How do you open it?"

Chen Jian'an looked at the groove on the door and took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms.

He walked to the front door, pulled out the cork on the porcelain bottle, and poured the blood inside into the groove at the center of the flower.

"Is this Najie's blood?"

Jiang Fu immediately realized what was in the porcelain bottle. It turned out that he had found someone to bite Na Jie just to draw blood!

"Yes, it is said that only the blood of the royal family can open the door to the Holy Land."

As if responding to Chen Jian'an's words, as soon as he finished speaking, the blood-soaked area on the door magically glowed green.

Starting from the center of the flower, the innermost circle of patterns seemed to come alive. The vines began to spread and the patterns began to rotate, making two crisp sounds of "clicking".

"It's done!"

Jiang Fu clapped her hands excitedly.

But the pattern only moved twice, the light disappeared, and the vines extending outwards returned to calm.

Jiang Fu waited for two breaths and saw that it was motionless. She tilted her head and looked at Chen Jian'an.

"Is this poor quality or too little quantity?"

Could it be that it was mixed with the assassin's saliva, so it didn't work?

Chen Jian'an's heart slowly sank, knowing that things might be developing for the worst.

He pursed his lips and shook his head.

"No, I have seen this kind of mechanism in ancient books, and the blood volume is enough to activate it.

The only possibility that it cannot be opened is that the "key" is not found correctly. The legendary royal blood now seems to have to be the direct line of the emperor."

Jiang Fu choked, and the emperor had no children. If someone who was not a direct descendant of the royal family couldn't open it, could it be that they wanted to assassinate the emperor?

She sighed, wondering whether to say something or not:
