Chapter 407: The alchemist under the underground palace
"Why did you hit me again?" Akano Hanako felt the urge to cry for the first time.
"If you don't obey my decision, you can leave at any time!" Wu Yuan's attitude was extremely arrogant.
At this moment, even Xin Ruyan felt a little sympathy for Akano Hanako. If it were her, she would have left long ago.
However, she still underestimated Akano Hanako's tolerance, but Wu Yuan knew that Akano Hanako would not leave.
"I understand, I have no objection." Akano Hanako said in a low voice.
"That's okay." Xin Ruyan looked at Akano Hanako in disbelief, and then at Wu Yuan.
Wu Yuan blinked at Xin Ruyan and then signaled that Xin Ruyan could take action.
Seeing this, Xin Ruyan no longer delayed, turned around and entered Longyang Palace with a unique movement technique.
Seeing this movement, Akano Hanako was quite surprised, because it was exactly the footwork she was good at. At this moment, she finally understood why Wu Yuan wanted Xin Ruyan to take the risk.
It turned out that Xin Ruyan secretly learned her body skills along the way, although it could be seen that he was not very skilled.
But this also surprised Akano Hanako, "It turns out that Madam is a martial arts genius."
Wu Yuan also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although he knew that Xin Ruyan was powerful and expected that Xin Ruyan would not let her down, it was only after he saw that Xin Ruyan really learned the footwork of Akano Hanako that he
He breathed a sigh of relief.
Wu Yuan and Akano Hanako waited quietly outside like this. Time passed little by little. Seeing that the morning court time was about to pass, Emperor Wu and Eunuch Su would be back soon, and Wu Yuan was also a little anxious.
Fortunately, Xin Ruyan came out at the last moment.
Wu Yuan did not rush to ask about the result, but just said: "Let's leave here first and then talk about it."
As soon as Wu and Yuan left, Emperor Wu and Eunuch Su came back.
As soon as he entered Longyang Palace, Eunuch Su frowned slightly because he had already noticed that someone had come.
No one is more familiar with everything in Longyang Palace than him, not even Emperor Wu.
"Su Zi, what's wrong?" Emperor Wu noticed something strange about Eunuch Su and couldn't help but ask.
"It's nothing, Your Majesty, I just don't feel very well." Eunuch Su probably guessed that it might be related to Wu Yuan, but chose to hide it.
Emperor Wu took a deep look at Eunuch Su, but did not continue to ask further questions. He only said: "You are indeed tired these days. I promise you don't have to wait here today. You can go back and rest. If you really feel unwell."
, you can summon the imperial physician on your own."
Hearing this, Eunuch Su was filled with gratitude and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your consideration. I will leave now, then."
Emperor Wu nodded and took the people back to the palace.
After entering the palace, Emperor Wu dismissed all the servants, and then walked to the bookshelf in the palace alone. He gently turned the candlestick above, revealing an entrance to the underground.
At the same time, on the other side, Xin Ruyan was also describing the situation inside Longyang Palace to Wu Yuan.
Wu Yuan looked at Xin Ruyan in surprise, "There is an underground palace inside?"
Xin Ruyan nodded, "Yes, the mechanism outside is not too clever, but it took some effort to find the switch."
Next to her, Akano Hanako was also listening attentively, for fear of missing any detail.
"Have you ever entered the underground palace to see it?" Wu Yuan asked curiously.
"I did go in, but the passages inside were complicated and time was tight, so I didn't dare to go in deep."
After hearing Xin Ruyan's words, both Wu Yuan and Akano Hanako were a little disappointed. Of course, Wu Yuan hoped that Xin Ruyan would be safe.
"It doesn't matter. Now that we know where the underground palace is, we can just find a chance to enter again tomorrow."
Xin Ruyan had no objection, and Akano Hanako hesitated several times, as if she had something to say.
Wu Yuan turned his head and glanced at Akano Hanako, then said, "You can ask if you have any questions."
After all, you can't be too harsh on Akano Hanako, you still have to give her the sweetness she deserves.
"I want to go into the underground palace with you next time, is that okay?" Akano Hanako looked at Wu Yuan with hope and asked.
"Well, okay, next time the three of us will go in together."
Hearing Wu Yuan's answer, Akano Hanako was almost moved to tears, "Thank you so much, Prince."
"You're welcome, you have to understand that as long as you obey me completely, I won't be too harsh on you." Wu Yuan had a warning in his eyes.
Akano Hanako quickly nodded "yes", which really made Xin Ruyan look at her for a moment.
After returning to the East Palace, Akano Hanako went into hiding again.
Xin Ruyan and Wu Yuan were the only two people left in the room. Wu Yuan asked with interest: "This time, can you tell me what you discovered in the underground palace."
Xin Ruyan was a little surprised, "How did you know I was hiding something?"
"This is probably a tacit understanding." Wu Yuan blinked and couldn't help teasing Xin Ruyan.
After Xin Ruyan rolled her eyes at Wu Yuan, she said to Wu Yuan: "It's quite complicated in the underground palace. Although I didn't see the concubine ten years ago, I saw some other things, which can be said to be other things.
people."
"Oh? Who are they? Could it be that they are all women?"
Wu Yuan couldn't help but imagine some perverted pictures in his mind. Could it be that Emperor Wu had some habit of abusing women?
If it's true, it's really incredible. There are so many women in the harem that they can't even play with each other. How about building an underground devil's cave?
"What are you thinking about? Your expression is so vulgar?" Xin Ruyan said angrily.
Wu Yuan rubbed his nose in embarrassment and said with a sneer: "It's nothing, just keep talking."
Xin Ruyan glanced at Wu Yuan doubtfully before continuing: "I saw a group of alchemists inside."
In an instant, Wu Yuan understood what was going on, "No wonder he is so obsessed with the throne of the emperor. It turns out he is also pursuing the art of immortality."
Wu Yuan was not surprised at all by this. Nine out of ten emperors wanted to pursue immortality. After all, after reaching this position, only immortality could drive these emperors crazy.
Xin Ruyan thought the same way, "Those alchemists should all be well-educated people. I saw that they were all tied there with huge chains. Although they were provided with good food and drink, they had lost their freedom.
I can only stay by the alchemy furnace."
"I felt that some of them seemed to have sensed that I was peeping. Although I didn't see any special reaction from them, I still withdrew just in case."
Hearing this, Wu Yuan couldn't help but frown, "If that's the case, it would be a bit troublesome. I wonder if those people will inform the emperor."
Xin Ruyan was quite worried and said: "So I think we can't act too hastily, let's observe it for a while first before talking.
But Wu Yuan shook his head, "No, we don't have much time left. Let me think about this matter. You should rest first."
