Chapter 364 Who Sent You?
The maid immediately walked down the stage while saying, "Princess, please calm down. I will be leaving right now."
After walking down the stage, he stood at the side.
That position was probably to protect the princess if she came down.
"What does burial objects mean?" Qi Chuzhao turned to look at Qin Wei beside him and asked her in a low voice.
She shook her head, glanced sideways at Gu Chaoxi and Pei Yan who were concentrating at the moment, and turned back.
Using the princess as a burial object? Qin Wei really didn't understand it.
"Let's wait and see. I don't know for now."
Even if she was not a princess born to a favored concubine, she would not be used as a burial object.
Moreover, this place looks more like a living sacrifice. How could the princess agree to it in the first place?
Are all these people trapped here?
At this time, the princess had already sat back on the couch, and even brushed her clothes and lay down on her side.
Her right hand supported her head, and her left hand hung at her side, showing off her body curves in an exceptionally superior manner.
She lowered her eyes to glance at the tragic scene below, and finally raised her left hand and waved it impatiently.
"Clean it up for me, it makes me upset."
With just one word, the guards around responded and started to move, dragging all the corpses in the field in one direction.
That direction was on the side of the four people and was not very clear, but there seemed to be some sunken passage vaguely.
Gu Chaoxi raised his hand and touched Qin Wei: "Will there be anything else in there?"
"I'm not sure. I'm confused right now."
She raised her hand and rubbed her hair, frowned, glanced at Gu Chaoxi, and shook her head.
Qin Wei didn't quite understand the current situation.
There were only a few guards originally surrounding the area, and now most of them were dragging the corpses towards the secret passage, so there were not many people left on the scene.
"Guard Qin, tell me, am I the person that the Minister described me to be?"
The princess looked at a guard standing below, who was closest to the platform.
Hearing this, he first turned sideways to look at the princess on the platform, bowed, and then lowered his eyes and spoke slowly.
"How could the princess be worth a ton of gold? What that person just said is impossible?"
The princess sneered but did not expose him.
After all, even though this guy looked down on me in his heart, at least he wouldn't say it on the surface, not to mention that he was an obedient dog.
After a while, she raised her hand, looked at it over and over in front of her face as if admiring it, and blew on her fingers.
"I'm tired and want to take a rest."
"Yes, princess."
The two maids who were originally standing behind the couch immediately put down their fans, stepped forward, helped the princess up from the bed, and then supported her as she walked down the stage.
Walk down the stairs towards the direction of the secret passage.
Gu Chaoxi's heart sank. They shouldn't be heading in the same direction.
Sure enough, the princess seemed to move to the side and was then blocked by the rocks.
The direction where the princess disappeared was relatively close to where they were now, so they were blocked by the rocks beneath them and could not see the situation clearly.
Fortunately, after the princess and the maid left this location, the remaining guards, led by Guard Qin, walked towards the previous secret passage.
"His last name is Qin, is it really such a coincidence?"
Gu Chaoxi raised his hand and touched his chin. One of the anonymous graves belonged to the eldest daughter of the Qin family, while the other two young masters of the Qin family in the temple were suspected of having conspired to kill Mr. Qin.
Now another guard Qin has appeared. Which Qin family is this guard related to?
This illusion is not from the present, but from a long time ago. So, is this Guard Qin the brother of the eldest lady of the Qin family?
"We need to go down and take a look."
Pei Yan said this. There are still many things they don't understand, and time today is very tight.
When there was no one within sight, several people slowly got up from the ground.
Following the direction the guards had gone down before, the four of them trotted down quickly.
Sure enough, after coming down, I saw two passages in the direction of the secret passage.
Each passage is now clearly visible, with candlesticks hanging on the rock walls inside, illuminating the passageway brightly.
"According to what we see above, the one facing us now is on the left to deal with the bodies, and on the right to the princess's residence?"
Let’s just use the residence as a reference.
Qin Wei nodded. From what she saw on the stage, this was indeed the case.
"Divide the troops into two groups." Pei Yan said in a deep voice. When he finished speaking, Gu Chaoxi raised his hand and pointed in the direction the princess was going.
"I'll go this way." She chose the side where the princess went, and Pei Yan naturally went with her.
Qin Wei shook her head helplessly and looked at Qi Chuzhao: "There is no other way. You can only follow me to the left."
"Come and help me soon! I'm afraid I won't be able to win in a fight."
After saying that, Qin Wei took Qi Chuzhao and went directly to the passage on the left, looking as if they were ready to die bravely.
Gu Chaoxi just took a look, frowned slightly, and followed Pei Yan towards the passage on the right.
The passage here is not very narrow. On the contrary, it is built relatively wide to accommodate people's bodies.
In addition to the candlesticks that appear every few steps in the passage, you can occasionally see small tables carved out of the rock wall with decorations on them.
I guess he's afraid that the princess would feel that living here is too harsh on her?
Although Gu Chaoxi only took a cursory look at those things, he could tell that they were very valuable and could be said to be priceless.
As you go deeper inside, the space becomes larger and larger.
Gu Chaoxi frowned, and he and Pei Yan slowly slowed down their pace.
A little further forward, you can see a fallen curtain. I guess through the curtain is where the princess rests.
Although there are only the princess and her maid inside, there is no guarantee that something might happen.
Gu Chaoxi listened carefully, but there was no sound.
Raising her hand and pointing towards the curtain, she pulled out the dagger from her waist and held it flat against her chest in a protective posture.
Pei Yan followed beside her, and the two of them approached the curtain cautiously.
"Who sent you?"
Suddenly, a voice came from inside, clear and cold, and it was quite similar to the voice just now on the high platform, but...
Gu Chaoxi frowned, wondering when did the people inside discover them.
"The maid is not here, please come in directly."
Pei Yan glanced sideways and met Gu Chaoxi's gaze, and for a moment he got goosebumps all over his body.
If the princess had discovered them long ago, wouldn't Qin Wei and Qi Chuzhao be in danger?
But the person inside seemed to know what they were thinking and continued speaking.
"The guards don't know, so you two don't have to worry."
Pursing his lips, Gu Chaoxi still held the dagger and did not dare to relax, but took a step forward, lifted the curtain and stepped in.
