The sick and weak prince is too black

Chapter 146
Ye Lan felt that his chest was instantly filled with something, and his dark eyes were firmly fixed on the opening.

There seemed to be something mysterious and attractive coming out of the dark hole, which made her heart beat slightly faster.

Ye Lanxin quickly slid down from the bamboo, Xin'er and Ah Jiu also quickly followed, and the three of them carefully approached the opening.

There were no lights below, and it was pitch black, which made Xin'er tremble in her heart, "Miss, if we go down so rashly, will there be hidden weapons inside?"

With that said, Xin Er nudged Ah Jiu who was beside her with her elbow.Seeing this, Ah Jiu nodded quickly and said, "Yes, miss, or we'll go to Changle King first..."

Before Ah Jiu finished speaking, Ye Lanxin's pretty face turned dark.

She raised her eyes and looked at them coldly, and took out the night pearl given to her by the silver-haired girl from her bosom, "Are you Jun Wuxie's maids, or mine?"

Xin'er and Ah Jiu's complexion changed, and they hurriedly said, "We are born to be Miss's people, and we will die as Miss's ghosts!"

Seeing that they have such a tacit understanding, Ye Lan nodded in satisfaction, "That's very good, Ah Jiu will come down with me, and Xin Er will be guarding outside. If there is any disturbance, let us know immediately."

After saying this, Ye Lanxin hung the Ye Mingzhu on her waist, turned over neatly and jumped down.

Ah Jiu is simple-minded, as long as she stays by Ye Lanxin's side, she doesn't know how to write the word "fear".At this moment, she jumped down neatly, leaving Xin'er standing alone on the spot.

At this time, even though it was a bright day, Xin'er still felt that the bamboo forest was a little strangely quiet.

But since the young lady gave orders, no matter how scared she was, she had to hold on.

So, Xin'er took the soft sword left by Ah Jiu, and stood nervously at the edge of the cave and waited.

Originally thought that the cave would be very narrow and damp, but it wasn't until Ye Lanxin's feet landed on the ground that he realized that it was not only very spacious, but also that there was a faint fragrance in the air.

Under the reflection of the night pearl, what appeared in front of them was a marble staircase with a width of two.

The stairs spiraled down, as if they were going to extend to the end of the boundless.

Ye Lanxin glanced at Ah Jiu, and the two of them walked towards the depths with very light steps.

The further you go in, the more intense the aroma that originally diffused.

Ye Lanxin frowned slightly, this smell...

Her heart sank, she quickly took out two pieces of silk from her bosom, and handed one of them to Ah Jiu, "Cover your mouth and nose."

Ah Jiu didn't ask too much, but obediently tied the silk over her nose and mouth.

The further she walked in, the tighter Yelan's frown frowned: she was very familiar with this fragrance. On the day she crossed over, in the cave of Qilin Mountain, she smelled a slightly similar fragrance to this one.

Although I don't know if it is incense like aphrodisiac, but it is always beneficial to prevent it.

Moreover, not only is there a problem with this incense, but even the structure of this cave is somewhat similar to the structure of the mechanism in Qilin Mountain.

Is it possible that my guess is true?
Or, the cave on Mount Qilin was just another base for the man in black, and the underground of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion was their real lair?

Ye Lanxin and the others had almost gone for an incense stick, and the cave, which was originally only big enough for two of them to stand side by side, suddenly became extremely spacious.

The originally dark tunnel was also a little bit brighter because of the oil lamps that were always on inside.

This is not a spacious stone house, and there is only a very simple stone table inside. There are also a few teacups and teapots on the table, and there is not even a little daily necessities.

what happened?

Ye Lan remembered what the mysterious woman who disappeared here that day said, and from her tone, it was obvious that there was another person imprisoned in this stone room.

But now the stone house that appeared in front of him was empty, the place where his eyes went was empty, almost no movement could be seen.

Ye Lanxin frowned slightly, and her eyes fell heavily on the teacups and teapots on the table: Could it be that they are repeating their old tricks?

They have designed such a complicated entrance, so it is not surprising that there are more weird mechanisms in the stone house.

Ye Lanxin walked to the stone table, and was about to reach for the teapot, but unexpectedly, the teapot seemed to have taken root and sprouted on the table, no matter how hard she tried, it would not move at all.

"Could it be..." Ye Lanxin leaned slightly, and turned the teapot slightly to the right——

"Boom——" A muffled sound suddenly exploded from behind. The sudden sound made Ah Jiu's whole body tense up. She swung her fist and turned around to hit her.

It's just that when they turned around, the scene in front of them made Ah Jiu's movements suddenly freeze in place.

A crack suddenly appeared in the middle of a huge stone slab behind them, and when the stone door opened, a very delicately furnished room appeared in front of the two of them.

Speaking of exquisiteness, it is compared with the humble small hall outside.

Looking at the decoration of this room, it can be determined that it should be a place where a woman lives.

It's just that, as a woman's room, there is one thing that women have missing here...

Ye Lan frowned and looked around the hut. On the walls of the stone hut, there were many portraits of women hanging densely.

Some stood still with their heads raised, some danced lightly, some played the piano with their heads bowed, and some stood leaning on a railing.

Each piece is lifelike and vivid, and one can imagine the fascination of the person who wrote the painting for the person in the painting.

Various clothes, various movements, various expressions, but judging from the figure, it is the same woman.

It's just a little weird...

The face of the woman in the painting was either hollowed out or covered with black ink.

None of the portraits escaped this treatment.

Seeing this scene, even Ah Jiu, who rarely has emotional fluctuations, frowned, "Who hates the woman in the painting so much, and treats her like this!"

Ye Lanxin took a new look at this not-so-spacious hut, "Look, Ah Jiu, there are rouge gouache, jewelry powder, and cardamom cream, but there is no mirror. As a woman who loves beauty so much, there is no mirror in the room. Putting it in the mirror is either disfiguring, or—"

A thought flashed through his mind just now, and when Yelan wanted to catch it again, he couldn't catch it no matter what.

The woman yesterday wasn't disfigured at all, or, she was indeed disfigured, and her face - was it fake?
