After receiving the news, the spiritual eagle spread its wings and soared into the sky, chirping and flying quickly across the night sky.
Now they could only wait patiently, standing on the platform and watching the night around them, as time continued to pass.
However, the witch didn't have much patience. After waiting for two or three minutes, she could no longer stand.
"It's so boring here. You two continue to wait. I'll go to the imperial mausoleum to have a look." The witch said with a smile.
"That's good, we know nothing about the situation in the imperial tomb. If you are curious, go and have a look. You must find out all the conditions there." Li Ming's eyes lit up, and he immediately smiled and happily agreed to the witch's request.
ask.
"Then I'm leaving. Call me if you need anything." The witch quickly turned around and turned into black smoke and disappeared into the night...
Li Ming and Lonely Ruyan continued to wait, but now they felt much more at ease.
"Brother Ming, this witch's role is really good. It's all up to her tonight." Lonely Ruyan said with a sweet smile.
"She is a demon, and there are no taboos in her actions on the territory of the Destiny Empire, so she can play a greater role. I hope she can find out all the circumstances of the imperial mausoleum, so that we can be more confident." Li Ming said with a smile.
Just as the two were standing on the platform talking and passing the waiting time, three tall female figures appeared on the mountain road in the distance, walking quickly towards the mountainside platform...
"The princess is here." Li Ming didn't expect the princess to come so quickly, so he hurried to the intersection of the stone steps.
After a while, under the moonlight, the incomparably beautiful princess stood in front of them with her two maids.
"Your Highness, I didn't expect you to come so quickly." Li Ming said respectfully.
"Fortunately, the Second Emperor only sealed off the inner city, and the outer city has not prohibited me from entering and exiting freely. I wonder if you have discovered anything important by sending the eagle message so late?" Princess Ning Xin asked doubtfully.
"Your Highness, the matter is becoming more and more urgent..." Lonely Ruyan quickly recounted what he discovered in the manor tonight in detail...
Princess Ning Xin and the two maids' beautiful eyes widened when they heard this, and their brows could not help but frown tightly. They seemed to be shocked by what she said!
"How dare he do this! The imperial mausoleum is the burial place of all past emperors and royal family ancestors. It is a solemn place that cannot be desecrated. How dare he dig a passage from there!" Princess Ning Xin yelled angrily.
"This matter has been found out, and the passage will be opened in less than two days. By then the second prince's conspiracy plan has been formed, and he can launch a rebellion at any time!" Li Ming nodded.
"However, although the imperial mausoleum is not heavily guarded, there are mausoleum-suppressing beasts inside to protect the peace of the ancestors. How dare he dig a passage there?" Princess Ning Xin said doubtfully.
"What... Zhenling Divine Beast?" Li Ming and Lonely Ruyan looked at each other and asked nervously at the same time.
"Yes, the imperial mausoleum is the mausoleum of our destiny royal family, and it is also the core area that protects the prosperity of our royal family. It is always guarded by mythical beasts. If not holding the emperor's jade seal, whoever dares to enter the emperor will surely die!" Princess Ningxin said
.
"No... that Jinsi..." Lonely Ruyan said in surprise.
"It's okay. Although she can't defeat the mythical beast, she is very smart. She should have no problem escaping." Li Ming also nervously called the witch back, but there was no response.
Could it be that she really encountered a mythical beast?
"What's wrong with you? There is a mechanism at the gate of the imperial mausoleum, and ordinary people cannot enter." Princess Ning Xin said.
"Let's not talk about this for now. What Her Royal Highness the Princess knows must also be known to the Second Prince, right?" Li Ming asked quickly.
"Of course, our royal family is very aware of the matter of the imperial mausoleum." Princess Ning Xin nodded.
"Since the second prince also knows the danger of the imperial mausoleum, why did he still set the entrance to the imperial mausoleum?" Li Ming said doubtfully.
"Brother Ming, he may not have set the entrance of the passage inside the imperial mausoleum. It would be fine if it was outside the imperial mausoleum." Lonely Ruyan reminded.
"No, the entire Imperial City Mountain is made of hard rock, which cannot be dug by manpower. If you want to dig through the bottom of the Imperial City Mountain, even if you give the emperor more manpower, I'm afraid it will take several years to do it.
.As far as this palace knows, there seems to be a legend about a secret passage in the imperial mausoleum. This was left by the ancestors as a precaution and for the descendants of the royal family to escape. If the emperor wants to dig through the secret passage and find the imperial mausoleum,
The escape passage inside is the best choice." Princess Ning Xin said thoughtfully.
"If this passage really exists, it can be concluded that the second prince must have found some way to deal with the divine beasts before he dared to set up one side of the secret passage inside the imperial mausoleum. In this way, no one can guess how he transported troops
The secret passage is actually in the imperial mausoleum. After all, no one can enter the imperial mausoleum to find out..." Li Ming said thoughtfully.
"I once saw the mausoleum-preserving mythical beast when I was a child. It was a golden-horned brave. It was very sensitive to the movement around it. If someone was digging a passage under the imperial mausoleum, it would roar as a warning as soon as it approached. It would never sit idly by.
Reason... nothing is happening with the mythical beast now, and you said that the passage is about to be dug..." Princess Ning Xin said with some doubts.
"What... the golden horned mythical beast!" The two of them were shocked at the same time.
Sure enough, the mythical beast is stationed in the imperial mausoleum. If the second prince digs a secret passage, then the mythical beast will definitely be able to sense it in advance...
But nothing has happened so far, which is a bit confusing.
"Is it true that the beast fell asleep and was not noticed?" Lonely Ruyan asked.
"This is unlikely. There is only one explanation. Something happened to the mythical beast..." Li Ming said with a frown.
Since the second prince knew about the existence of the divine beast and dared to dig a tunnel there, he must have already thought of a way to deal with the divine beast, otherwise the whole plan would not be possible!
"What, something happened to the mythical beast?" The princess and Lonely Ruyan were both surprised by his idea.
"Your Highness, I am sure that the Imperial Mausoleum has always been the target of the second prince. It is the only place where he can dig the secret passage. Now that the second prince has the help of the demon clan secretly, he should have a way to deal with the divine beast.
Now that the secret tunnel is about to be dug, they will definitely attack the divine beasts in advance, so that there will no longer be any difficulty to prevent them from launching a rebellion!" Li Ming said thoughtfully.
"If this is really the case, then the matter is irreversible!" Princess Ning Xin was stunned for a moment.
"Your Highness, don't worry. The passage has not been dug yet, but we are all aware of the second prince's conspiracy, so the opportunity is still in our hands. Don't worry too much now," Li Ming comforted.
"Obviously, do you have any other remedies? Even if you say it, I will definitely support you." Princess Ning Xin looked at his beautiful eyes, as if she saw a life-saving straw.
