King’s Landing: The Proud Empress

  Chapter 10 Upcoming

Walking in the wet and dripping passage, Jun Li reached out and picked up the hairpin on his head to make a mark along the way, who knows if this is a maze, if he finds nothing by then and gets trapped here, then Isn't it worth the candle.

  I pinch my nose while making a mark. It may be that this place has been built for a long time, and no one has come to clean it, so there is a musty smell everywhere, and it is dark and leaking.

  After walking in the passage for about a quarter of an hour, Junli still did not encounter the so-called hidden weapon. I secretly wondered in my heart, there is no mechanism, this is too abnormal! She didn't believe that the original empress would be so kind, if she didn't build this place into an iron wall, it would be strange for those who trespassed here to never return!

  So, although Junli was safe all the way, the alarm bell in his heart never let go.

   After walking for a while, Junli couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw a faint light coming from ahead. Could it be that the passage she chose at random was the right one?

  Unable to speed up his pace, he walked towards the bright place in front of him. The moment he stepped into the bright place, Jun Li was dumbfounded.

  The purpose of entering is not a secret room, but... She seems to have returned to the original point! The fork of the five passages!

  Turning around and looking at the five passages behind him, Jun Li resigned himself to another passage and walked in.

  Just like last time, she marked all the routes, and then started her 'journey' again.

When seeing a ray of light come into view again, Jun Li was not as happy as last time, but walked forward slowly. , but I still couldn't help complaining in my heart, why did the design of this place be so troublesome?

  Although he was unhappy, he still resigned to his fate and continued to walk down the next passage.

   Half an hour later

  When Junli stood at the fork of the five passages, he turned around helplessly and continued walking to the next passage.

   Another half an hour later

  Jun Li looked at the five passages in front of him, the veins on his forehead were bulging, his eyes were fixed on the last passage, and he stepped in with heavy steps. It was already the last passage, it should be... right!

  Thinking in this way, Jun Li felt much better, and his footsteps became much lighter, and he quickly walked towards the depths of the passage.

   Another half an hour later

  Junli looked at the place in front of him with anger on his face, what the hell! It's back!

   Staring angrily at the five passages behind her, Jun Li had a lot of thoughts in her head. Although she was very angry with these passages, it was not to the point where she had no ability to think.

  The five passages all return to the original place at the end. There are only three possibilities: either the legendary five elements and eight trigrams formations are laid here, or this is a maze at all, and she has been spinning in circles. Or, this is the case here at all, the five passages are just used to confuse people!

  Thinking of this, Jun Li shuddered, why didn't she think of it!

  There is no hidden weapon along the way here, I am afraid it is a trick for people! And those five passages are probably fake at all, the reason is just to delay the time and let the intruders go around in circles, and she can lead people to surround the bedroom, so that the intruders will never return!

  Junli was startled, is this scheming really just a tyrant?

  Since these five passages are all fake, there must be other secret passages or mechanisms leading to the real secret room!

  However, along the way, there is no other difference at all! Where is the real secret path?

  Junli pondered, and suddenly thought of a place she had just overlooked. Since there is nothing wrong with walking along the way, then the secret room may not be in this way at all, but in...the place where she just opened the door!

  Thinking of this, Junli quickly turned around and ran towards the way he came, without even looking at the five passages behind him.

  When she ran to the place she just came in, the door was still tightly closed, nothing wrong. Jun Li raised the luminous pearl in his hand, and took a careful look at the surroundings, but he didn't find any clues.

   There was another burst of knocking on the surrounding walls, but after a long time, there was still nothing. Junli couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. Could it be that she guessed wrong?

A sudden flash of inspiration made Junli think of a place, and walked quickly to the mechanism that he stepped on when he got down at the beginning, and took a photo of it with the Ye Mingzhu, and found that it was just a small convex groove with a plum blossom pattern, and there was nothing wrong with it. The special thing is that there is no keyhole, so people will choose to ignore it and walk directly to the front passage.

  But Junli looked at this small convex groove with some doubts, and always felt a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

  He tried hard to recall in his mind, but still couldn't think of a reason, so Junli simply sat on the ground and took a rest.

The hair on his head fell down on his cheeks, Jun Li stroked it behind him, picked up the hairpin he was holding in his hand and gently pulled it up, when everything was done, Jun Li paused in his mind, and then seemed to remember What's the matter, he put down the hair that he had just tied up, and picked up the hairpin on his head. Junli finally understood why she was familiar with the plum blossom pattern just now!

  The plum blossom pattern is exactly the shape of the hairpin in her hand! Fortunately, she has been holding this hairpin all the time, and she didn't realize the mystery of it until now. Fortunately, she didn't dislike the dirty hairpin just now and threw it away. Otherwise, she would still be sitting here scratching her head thinking about it!

Throw the hairpin down against the small groove, "Boom!" Suddenly, there was a crack in the side wall that had no crack at all, allowing one person to pass through the stone gate. Junli was overjoyed, put away the hairpin, turned and walked into the stone gate among.

As soon as he entered the stone gate, the stone gate was suddenly closed, and Junli continued to walk forward without turning his head. Behind the stone gate, there was no such splendor as Junli imagined, nor was there a mountain of gems, but instead, it was just a few simple things. Things, a desk, a chair, a bookshelf, a bed.

  Jun Li was surprised, as if he didn't expect it to be so simple here.

  Walking to the desk, he picked up a book and found that it was a book on military tactics. You knew it. It seemed that the original owner was also an ambitious person!

He casually picked up the following books, and found that all the names of officials, large and small, were recorded in them, as well as their identities and backgrounds. Looking at the detailed records, Junli had no doubts at all that the original owner was It's not that they have turned out all eighteen generations of their ancestors.

   Turned a few pages back, and found that the last few pages recorded the affairs of other members of the royal family, and everything was written in detail.

Looking down again, I found that one of them recorded the names of all the servants in the harem, including their identities and backgrounds, and what they had done in the palace, no matter how big or small, just like the previous few books, the records were very detailed. detailed.

  The corners of Junli's lips curled up slightly. With these, she didn't have to worry about showing her feet from time to time.

  Opened the cabinet under the table and found that there were only three things placed there, Jun Li was curious and picked up all the things.

  A small wooden box, a scroll like a map, and two books.

   Picked up one of the books, opened it and read it, but found that what was recorded in it was not about other people, but about the empress herself!

  Jun Lizai looked through it carefully, this is something she must remember, otherwise she might be found out that she is not an empress at any time in this palace.

   About two hours later, Jun Li put down the book, picked up another book and read it, and found that it was actually a martial arts cheat book, Jun Li was delighted! It's really hard to find a place to go through iron shoes, and it doesn't take much effort to get it! Putting the cheat book in his bosom, he opened the parchment and found that it was a map of the Beirong Kingdom. Junli was surprised. This world is a backward ancient time, not a technologically advanced modern one. I want to have a copy here. How difficult is the map, and how much manpower and material resources it takes to draw a map!

  Carefully rolled up the sheepskin roll, then took the wooden box, and opened it. When he saw the contents inside, Jun Li was taken aback. It seems that the original owner of this body is quite powerful! At first she thought it was just an empty shelf! After all, this empress has not said that she has not gone to court for several years.

After putting away all three things carefully, Junli walked towards the stone gate slowly, took a photo with the night pearl, and found that there were two small raised grooves on one side of the stone gate. With previous experience, Junli took out the hairpin, It was reflected on one of the convex grooves, and after a while, it was found that Shimen did not respond at all. Then Junli took a closer look at these two convex grooves, and found that this time it was not directly reflected, but , Insert the tip of the hairpin into the hole in the middle of the small convex groove.

   With a sound of "Boom—", Jun Li turned around, but was dumbfounded again.

  Why didn't the stone gate open?

  Junli walked forward in perplexity, but found that the stone door showed no sign of opening, Junli was taken aback, what was that sound just now?

  Picked up the hairpin, and inserted it into another small protruding slot. Junli looked back expectantly, only to find that the door...really opened!

Pulling out the hairpin, Jun Li walked towards the stone door, only to find that the door of the secret passage had been opened. Recalling the voice just now, Jun Li instantly understood that the two convex grooves, one was to open the stone door of the secret room, and the other was the door of the secret room. It is to open the door of this secret passage.

After thinking it over, Junli stepped out of the secret passage and walked back to the bedroom. Seeing that the dragon bed had returned to its original state after she came up, Junli couldn't help admiring the wisdom of the ancients in his heart. Can't come up with such an exquisite mechanism!

   Ordered someone to bring a basin of hot water, wiped his face casually, changed his clothes, put his clothes on and fell asleep.

  …

   next morning

Jun Li stretched his waist, yawned indecently, and then quickly got up from the bed. After getting dressed, he glanced at Yun Qing who was still lying on the bed. There was a soft cry from outside.

   After a while, a group of attendants poured in from outside the door, and the one who walked in front of all the attendants was none other than Eunuch Duan!

   Seeing that she had already dressed and tidied up, Eunuch Duan was taken aback, "Your Majesty, why don't you let the slaves wait for someone to come and tidy up!"

  Jun Li pouted, "No need!"

  Eunuch Duan smiled awkwardly. Just as he was about to say something, Jun Li raised his hand to stop him, "Keep your voice down. If you wake up your son...huh!"

  All the attendants trembled involuntarily when they heard the words, and then they became more careful in doing things.

  Eunuch Duan glanced at Su Yunqing with some disgust in his eyes, then turned to Jun Li and said flatteringly, "Your Majesty, wash your mouth first, and then the servant will pass the meal on."

  Junli nodded, took the teacup and rinsed his mouth, wiped his face with a wet towel, then sat on the chair and watched the delicacies being served, and slowly began to eat.

After eating, Junli told the attendants at the side, "You all go out later, don't disturb the young master's rest, besides, once the young master wakes up, give him some porridge, remember! It should be lighter Porridge!"

"yes!"

  Eunuch Duan asked suspiciously, "Where are you going, Your Majesty?"

  Jun Li chuckled, "Go to court!"
