Seeing Si Haochen's neat movements, Ming Ruo couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth: "Aren't you afraid that I'll poison you now?"
"If you poison me, you will still be buried."
Although Si Haochen was in a coma, he never completely lost consciousness. He could still hear some of what Mingruo said, otherwise her horizontal sword would not have left any room.
Emperor Danxu once proposed the marriage of Princess Lanyang to him. Although he did not refuse, he had no intention of marrying her.
But this woman who died for him was something he had never seen before. "Who are you?"
"Princess Qinghuang of Nanrong, Yan Mingruo." Mingruo had no choice but to tell her the identity of the original owner, "Well..."
Before Ming Ruo finished speaking, Si Haochen opened the masked Xipa with his sword. He frowned slightly when he saw the face like a paint shop: "It's so ugly..."
Si Haochen thought to himself - no wonder the third prince refused to marry him, this look of dignity is really hard to describe...
"It's just that His Royal Highness Prince Yun was unconscious when he welcomed me in, and... Donghuan has a bad habit of burying people with sacrifices."
As a new woman with higher education, Mingruo simply cannot accept the barbaric, ignorant and stereotyped custom of "sacrificial burial".
"Bad habits?" Si Haochen raised his eyebrows slightly, "Did this king still humiliate you?"
"I don't dare...it's because I'm not worthy of Prince Yun."
People have to lower their heads when they are under the eaves. Now if they want to leave this hellish place, they have to rely on this big boss.
"Hmph, you are self-aware." Si Haochen stood up with his sword in hand and jumped out of the coffin easily.
Only then did Mingruo realize that this man was tall and straight, with a tall and erect figure, as if he were a god.
Si Haochen looked around and walked straight out.
Mingruo glanced at the Dongzhu that was spread all over the bottom of the coffin, reached out and grabbed a few as medical fees, and then quickly followed.
The corridor outside is deep and wide, with fluorite inlaid on the top wall, like a vast sea of stars. In the quiet space, there is only the sound of the two people's footsteps. The further you go outside, the less fluorite is inlaid, and the light becomes darker.
.
Mingruo was a little scared and reached out to pinch Si Haochen's sleeve.
Si Haochen paused and turned his head. His indifferent eyes swept over Mingruo's hand holding his sleeve, and he couldn't help but frown: "What?"
"Um..." Mingruo swallowed, "This is an underground palace, there should be a design to protect the tombs, right?"
"So?" Si Haochen asked without answering.
"I think there seems to be a formation here. The path you chose... may be the door to death." Ming Ruo was born in a family of metaphysics. He is not very advanced in metaphysics, but he has always had a keen sense of danger.
"You know the art of Qimen Dunjia." Si Haochen looked at Mingruo with admiration at this time.
"It's hard to say 'understand'. I know a little bit." Mingruo really didn't dare to overestimate his abilities as a three-legged cat.
Si Haochen took a few steps back, raised his sword and dropped it. A piece of fluorite rolled forward on the flat stone slab. Almost in an instant, more than a dozen feather arrows were shot out from different directions.
Normally this kind of mechanism wouldn't be able to trap him, but now it's absolutely impossible to use his internal strength.
Si Haochen didn't like his current weak situation, but he had nothing to do: "Which way do you think is possible?"
Mingruo carefully identified it for a long time, raised his finger and pointed in the direction, "I think it should be over there, but I'm only 70% sure."
Si Haochen followed the same pattern and tested the area with stones. If nothing abnormal was found, he continued to move forward.
The two of them went back and forth and finally walked out of the long corridor. Outside, there was a huge cave. There was a slight sound of water in the distance, but the road was gone.
After walking for a while deep into the cave, I saw only a bottomless pool.
Mingruo also followed, and with a pop, a small silver fish jumped out of the water and plunged into the pool again...
"There are fish here... there should be an underground river connecting the pool to the outside." Mingruo guessed.
"Yeah." Si Haochen also thought of this, but it was unknown how deep the pool was and how long it would take to dive out.
With my current physical condition, I can probably only hold on for a cup of tea.
"I'll go down and explore. If I can get out, you can come down again. If there's no way, I'll turn back."
Mingruo took off the big-sleeved shirt that was in the way and threw it on the rocks. With Si Haochen's physical condition, he might have to rescue him again if he didn't go into the water to explore the way.
"Are you very good at water?" Si Haochen frowned slightly.
A princess of a country knows medical skills, knows that Qi Men Dun Jia has unexpectedly come to light, and her water quality is good enough to explore... Is this normal?
"It's... not bad... Your Majesty, are you... not good at water?" Mingruo didn't have time to recall whether Princess Qinghuang could swim. Mingruo didn't have time to recall that her skills were average, but she could do it after entering the water.
Cheating with an oxygen mask.
But if Si Haochen is a landlubber, it will be troublesome.
"I don't need you to worry about it yet." Si Haochen felt that it was not a manly thing to let a woman explore the road, but there was no other way. "Most underground rivers have complicated waterways. If you lose your way, you may drown yourself."
.”
"Oh, that's true." Mingruo's sense of direction was only slightly better than Lu Chi's, and she was convinced of Si Haochen's worries.
She pretended to fiddle with the large-sleeved shirt that was fully embroidered with phoenixes in flight, and took the opportunity to take out a roll of extra-long elastic bandages from the medical system.
One end was tied around his waist, and the other end was handed to Si Haochen's hand, "If there is no way out, I will look for the rope to come back. If there is a way out, His Highness Prince Yun will follow the rope to find me."
Seeing that Mingruo was about to go into the water, Si Haochen handed her a luminous pearl caged in a bag: "Take this with you."
"Okay." Mingruo thought it was troublesome to hold it in his hand, so he hung it around his neck. "If I don't come back in two-quarters of an hour, you can come down and find me."
Si Haochen didn't respond. This woman was quite confident in herself. If she fell into the water, would he want him to go down and collect her body?
Si Haochen waited for two quarters of an hour and did not enter the water immediately. Instead, he dragged back the strange-looking rope in his hand. After retracting it for a long time, he saw that the night pearl he had given out earlier was tied to the rope...
He took off the night pearl and jumped into the water, swimming along the rope like a dragon entering the sea. After swimming through a dark river, there was skylight reflected in the water. Si Haochen swam towards the light and took a deep breath when he broke out of the water.
.
Looking along the white bandages floating on the lake - a girl in a bright red underwear squatting next to a bonfire, baking her dress, with her hair scattered behind her like a waterfall, the only bright color in the surrounding green.
Si Haochen swam to the shore. Mingruo turned his head when he heard the sound and smiled slightly: "You are quite fast. Do you feel uncomfortable in your heart?"
Si Haochen was slightly startled when he saw the girl's face. She had snow-white skin that could be broken by blows, delicate eyebrows and a straight nose. After washing off the lipstick, her 'bloody mouth' suddenly became smaller and softer... A few strands of wet hair stuck to her
There was obviously a bit of embarrassment on her cheeks, but it was different from the women he usually saw, and she looked particularly smart.
Ming Ruo waved to Si Haochen: "Come and warm yourself by the fire. If you have a heart problem, you'll be in trouble if you catch a cold..."
She was extremely nervous about Si Haochen's body now. It was not worthwhile to have to be buried without a good day after finally reviving her life.
