Chapter 1599 The secret passage in the palace (3)
In terms of status, the late empress is Jun Wuchen’s biological mother and the original wife of Emperor Cangyun.
She is also Yun Luo’s biological future mother-in-law.
She really couldn't comment on the past affairs of her elders, so she could only ask: "Your Majesty, can the secret passage you mentioned still be used now?"
"After the late queen passed away, this palace was sealed and the secret passage was never opened again. I don't know either."
Emperor Cangyun pondered for a moment, "But in recent years, the capital has always been peaceful, and there has been no earthquake or collapse. I think it can still be used."
Yun Luo asked hurriedly: "Where is the entrance to the secret passage?"
"In the rockery in the back garden."
Emperor Cangyun said: "When we first opened the secret passage, we were considering the body of the late empress. The entrance was not too hidden, just slightly covered."
"In this case, let's go take a look first. If the secret passage can still be used and can lead directly to the outside of the palace, that would be great."
Yun Luo made a decision immediately.
Emperor Cangyun will naturally not object.
The two of them agreed and quickly walked to the back garden.
The back garden is just behind the main house and can be reached through a short corridor.
The garden is overgrown with weeds, all the flowers and trees have died, and the koi pond has dried up. Only a rockery next to the pond remains intact, standing among the weeds.
Emperor Cangyun took a look at the surrounding layout and seemed to understand it clearly. He pushed aside the weeds and walked to the rockery.
The surface of the rockery looks very realistic, but under the wind and sun, a thick layer of dust and fallen leaves has accumulated.
Emperor Cangyun did not reach out to touch, but raised his foot and kicked a raised stone below. A clicking sound came from inside the rockery, and a secret door opened directly.
The secret door was dark, and there seemed to be no bottom inside, and the air had a stagnant feeling that had not flowed for a long time.
However, as long as the secret passage is not collapsed or blocked, the environment will not affect its use.
Emperor Cangyun and Yun Luo breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
With this secret passage, they can bypass the layers of guards in the palace and leave the palace directly.
Although it may not be safe outside the palace, it is still much better than inside the palace.
Yun Luo just wanted to speak.
At this moment, the tips of her ears suddenly twitched, and she heard something keenly.
A sense of danger like a thorn in the back suddenly emerged from the bottom of my heart.
A flash of lightning!
Yun Luo didn't have time to look up, so he reached out and pushed forward hard, lowering his voice: "Go in quickly, don't come out!"
Emperor Cangyun was originally standing in front of the entrance of the secret passage, but was blocked by the rockery, and was pushed into the entrance of the secret passage by Yun Luo.
He looked at Yun Luo in surprise.
But Yun Luo raised his head and looked into the distance: "The queen is here!"
Not far away, a figure leaped over like lightning, heading straight towards the palace.
Yun Luo recognized it at a glance, it was Ji Xiuling.
How did she find this place?
It’s too late to think about it now.
This secret passage is very crude and has no cover.
If both of them disappeared out of thin air, Ji Xiuling would be suspicious and would easily find the secret passage and catch up again by simply checking the rockery.
Then there is no point in leaving through the secret passage.
Someone must stay to divert Ji Xiuling's attention.
Yun Luo made a decision in his mind in an instant and said quickly: "I'll stay and lure her away. Your Majesty, you can leave the palace directly through the secret passage. If you can leave the capital, go to find Long Yi and the others ten miles away. If you can't leave the capital, just leave the palace."
Go to Huichun Hall, there is a dark room behind the wall of the last box on the third floor..."
