Shortly after nightfall the next day, the guard knocked on Ningxia's study.
"Princess, there is a secret report."
"Come in." Ning Xia closed the book and raised her head.
The guard opened the door and strode in.
"Princess, please take a look!"
Ning Xia took the secret report and looked at it, flexing her fingers and crumpling the letter into a ball.
"Why does this happen? Didn't you all arrange it in advance?"
"Back to the princess, I have sent someone immediately." The guard cupped his hands, "I hope..."
"It's too late." Ning Xia stood up, "Prepare your horses, I will lead the troops myself!"
"Yes!" The guard nodded, turned and left.
At midnight, a scream came from the gate of Lingxia Pavilion.
"Here, there's an assassin!" The guard was stabbed in the abdomen and fell in a pool of blood.
"Come here, there's an assassin!"
Yun Hongsi received the news and summoned all the guards in the mausoleum.
"Seal all exits of the mausoleum immediately and prevent suspicious persons from entering or exiting! Let people from each courtyard gather in the front yard and be interrogated at any time."
"Yes!" Hundreds of guards responded in unison.
Soon, several of the guards rushed into Lingxia Pavilion.
"Master Hongsi has ordered that all personnel leave the room and gather in the courtyard!"
They held long swords in their hands and knocked on the doors of the wing rooms.
"Master Hongsi has given an order. All personnel must gather in the courtyard. Hurry!"
Many people have heard that assassins have come to the mausoleum, and the guards in their own yards have been stabbed by assassins. Everyone must not neglect them.
The doors to the side rooms opened one by one, and the servants ran towards the front yard one after another.
"It is a capital crime to harbor an assassin! Everyone must cooperate, quickly!"
The two men in black hiding in the backyard looked at each other and approached one after the other.
Ningxia's room is right in the middle, so there's no need to look for it.
As soon as Long Qian opened the door, she covered her nose: "What does it smell like?"
"What's the smell?" Yuan Feijing pushed her in and closed the door.
When she turned back, she unconsciously rubbed her nose: "It really smells strange, it smells so bad!"
"I heard that Ningxia didn't let anyone enter her room and fired many maids."
"It's not Ningxia who fired, it's Guimi!" Long Qian followed the smell and came to a bookcase.
She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and immediately took out her mask and put it on.
Hopefully it's not what she imagined, but it tastes really similar.
Even if a large part of it was covered up by Gui Mi's medicinal fragrance, she could still smell it clearly.
"Yuan Feijing, are you afraid of dead people?" Long Qian grabbed a corner of the bookcase and pushed hard, but did not push.
Yuan Feijing walked over and grabbed the other corner of the bookcase.
"Long Qian, don't you want to tell me that there are really dead people here?"
The doors and windows of the room were all closed, leaving only a few small candlesticks in twos and threes. There was insufficient light and it was a bit cold!
"Otherwise, where do you think Ningxia went?" Long Qian put down the crossbar and shook his head.
"Don't move. Check if there are any traps. I suspect there is a secret room in this room."
"Long Qian, are you stupid?" Yuan Feijing frowned, "Ningxia has been missing for so long. If she is really dead, Gui Mi will definitely take her away."
"Besides, you can't smell anything if you don't smell it carefully. The smell of corpses is not that light. What on earth do you..."
Before Yuan Feijing finished speaking, the wall slowly moved in front of her eyes.
"Is there really a secret room?" Her eyes widened in surprise.
There was an empty space in the wall, very shallow, not like a secret room, but more like a hidden wardrobe.
Yuan Feijing took a few steps forward and looked down.
