Chapter 505 Miss Going the Wrong Way?

Ye Huaichu went to the front yard to pick up Gu Qingning back, and helped her carry the bookcase, "How is your life at the Imperial College today, Master, isn't it very fierce today?"

"It's a bit fierce, but brother, how do you know?" Gu Qingning raised her head and asked him.

Ye Huaichu smiled and said: "Half a month of rest, you children must be playing crazy at home, the master must be more aggressive, otherwise how can we scare you little bastards?"

"Let's go, it's too hot outside, let's go inside."

When Ye Huaichu raised his hand to open the door, Gu Qingning smelled something vaguely.

Faintly, it disappeared soon, Gu Qingning could smell the smell from the dark room, it should be the smell of gunpowder.

Gunpowder was buried under the darkrooms and tunnels in the palace. Ye Huaichu didn't tell her that Gu Qingning figured it out later.

Ye Huaichu would sometimes go to the darkroom to do business, and it was normal to get this smell, so she didn't think about it that much.

In the blink of an eye, it was August, and it was already early autumn. The weather was not as hot as in June, and the trees planted in the yard began to slowly drop their leaves to the ground.

This day was Xiumu, Gu Qingning went to the Gu's ancestral hall, locked herself in the ancestral hall by herself, and said a lot of her heart to the plaques of General Gu and Mrs. Gu.

They are all silently recited in their hearts, and no one else can hear them.

An hour later, the door of the ancestral hall opened, Qi Qi and Shuang Shuang came in and helped her up from the round cattail, "Miss, are we going back to Xuchun Courtyard now? Or are we walking around in the mansion?"

"Let's go back."

She wanted to see the relics in the dark room.

Back in Xuchun Courtyard, Gu Qingning asked Qi Qi and Shuang Shuang to guard outside, opened the mechanism of the secret passage, and walked in holding a fire pocket.

Light up the wall lamp on the wall, so that you can see the road under your feet clearly.

Ever since he knew that gunpowder was buried in the secret passage, the smell was very clear, and he kept drilling into his nose.

It's been a long time since I came here, Gu Qingning walked to the side of the fork, not knowing which way to go.

Where is the darkroom where the relics are kept?

There are many dark rooms connected to the dark passage, and if you are not careful, you will get lost.

Ye Huaichu was not there, she had no one to ask for directions, so she could only leave by feeling.

Go to the right, feel that the light on the right is a little brighter.

After walking a certain distance, a dark room appeared in front of Gu Qingning. It was wrapped with iron chains and locked. Without a key, it was impossible to enter.

This, it seems, is not the dark room she was looking for, she must have gone the wrong way, at the fork in the road just now, she should have gone to the left.

But curiosity forced her to look into the dark room with a torch. In the dark room was a prison cell. On the cross, there was actually a person locked up!

"Ah..." Gu Qingning exclaimed, her hand touched the chain on the door, and there was a piercing sound.

The man on the cross heard the sound, and slowly raised his head, his cloudy and empty eyes met hers, and the chill rushed from the soles of his feet to his heart, Gu Qingning hugged her arms and stepped back.

Leaning against a wall of flesh, Gu Qingning's heart suddenly turned cold, "Ah... well."

Her mouth was covered by a hot hand, and then a deep voice came into her ears, "Don't be afraid, this subordinate is the hidden guard next to the prince, is Miss going the wrong way? This subordinate will take you there. "

Gu Qingning nodded, and the guard behind her let go of her mouth, took her hand, and led her out of here.

Before leaving, she took another look at the man on the cross, who was also looking at her.

For some reason, she always felt that the man looked familiar.
