Reborn to marry ex-husband's nemesis

Chapter 572 Discovering the Secret of the Former Empress
Meng Wan rested her chin and stared at her eyes: "I heard that the former empress is very beautiful, have you seen it?"

Chu Zhi shook his head.

Meng Wan sighed: "But you also said that to be able to give birth to a fairy-like person like a prince, there must be no difference."

Chu Zhi patted Meng Wan's shoulder: "It's getting late, we should go too."

As he spoke, he dragged Meng Wan up, but the gold hairpin on Chu Zhi's head slipped from his temples and fell to the ground. Coincidentally, the gem embedded in it fell under the bed, and Chu Zhi bent down to pick it up, but it was not enough. Without realizing it, the whole person simply got into it.

As a result, when I was stepping back, I accidentally bumped into the bed, and there was a bang!
"How are you, Zhizhi? Where did you hit? Does it hurt?"

"It's okay."

Chu Zhi didn't come out in a hurry, but knocked on the wooden board under the bed with his hand, sure enough!Her eyes dimmed slightly.

When she bumped into it just now, she heard that the sound was not right, and it was true.

Meng Wan also noticed something was wrong: "What's wrong with Zhizhi?"

Chu Zhi got out from under the bed and said to Meng Wan, "The inside of this bed is empty, there should be a hidden compartment."

"Dark grid?"

"The beds in the palace are all strictly manufactured. In order to prevent accidents, there is no hidden compartment in the middle of the bed. Even if you want to put something, you have to put a small cabinet next to the bed."

So it's really strange for the empress to fall down.

Chu Zhi thought for a while, and said to Meng Wan, "Help me lift up all the brocade quilts on the collapsed bed."

Then he knocked on the front of the bed, and the strange thing was that the front was real.

She took a closer look and found that the collapsed front of the bed had a thicker layer, which should be to prevent people from discovering it.

Chu Zhi suddenly remembered that Han Zhan had mentioned that it was very likely that the former Empress died of illness, and that it was probably related to Xiao Huang.

But the prince has been brooding about this matter.

Chu Zhi thought for a while, and said to Meng Wan: "You and I will take a look together to find out where this secret compartment is, and see if there are any new discoveries."

Unfortunately, the two of them searched for a long time but found nothing.

"Could it be that you guessed wrong?" Meng Wan asked.

Although she may also feel that this bed is weird, it's not such a coincidence.

Chu Zhi frowned: "The queen's phoenix has more hidden compartments, do you think this is normal?"

"That's true, but we can't find where this secret compartment is!"

The two stared blankly at the same spot for a while: "Forget it, I'd better tell the prince about this and ask the prince to come and find it himself!"

As they were talking, the two of them worked together to spread the brocade quilt on the bed, but Chu Zhi accidentally bumped into something, and suddenly heard a soft thud, she stopped in place for an instant, and when she turned her head, she met Meng Wan's shiny Eyes: "Did you hear anything?"

Chu Zhi raised his eyebrows: "You heard that too?"

"It's a mechanism!" Meng Wan was excited like a fool, "You must have triggered the mechanism by accident. Hurry up and see if there is any hidden compartment under the bed."

Before Chu Zhi could make a move, Meng Wan was the first to lie down on the ground.

Sure enough, I saw a small opening in the place directly opposite the head of the bed.

"Squeak! I saw it!" Meng Wan said, "Light a candle, it's too dark here, you can't see anything."

The two of them were afraid of being discovered by the palace people, so they didn't even light candles, and they took advantage of the sunset outside the window to reluctantly hang on, and they couldn't care less now.

Chu Zhi lit a candle as he said, and asked Meng Wan to take out the box.

"Tell me, what secrets are contained in this box?"

Chu Zhi said, "Why don't you open it and have a look?"

Meng Wan said, "Then take a look?"

To tell the truth, she was also very curious!
