Chapter 28 Scenery at the bottom of the lake

Chu Ruoxi bowed his head and said nothing. Qiao Alin explored the palace at night and did not find the scene marked on the jade and silk found in Zhengde Hall on the same day. Could he be wrong?

She took out the jade silk again, spread out the folded jade silk, and planned to take a closer look.

Because the first head fell into the water, the jade and silk were slippery together. Although it was a little dry, it was still a little sticky.

Seeing everything in front of him, Chu Ruoxi was shocked. Is this still her own piece?

The handwriting is still there, but there is something more in the painting.

On the sparkling lake, the blood-eating phoenix has been soaring in the air, and the blood beads at the corners of its mouth fell straight into the lake.

How can it be!

Chu Ruoxi remembers that there is indeed a phoenix eating blood on this jade silk, but there is no lake below, and this lake is too familiar. Isn't it Taiye Lake in the imperial garden?

This jade is strange. Does it have to encounter water to show hidden dark pictures?

Her heart pounded. Was the seventh brother worried that the secret of the whereabouts of the treasure would be known and added a dark card to it?

"Alin, I'm going to Taiye Lake."

Chu Ruoxi's dark eyes reflected two excitedguang cais under the candlelight, which made Qiao Alin confused.

"Miss, what's important about you going to Taiye Lake?"

He looked at Chu Ruoxi's left arm wrapped in a soft yarn. The young lady fell into the water first and ripped the wound. Why did she want to go there again?

"Alin, this matter is very important, but it must not be known. I want to go to the lake." Chu Ruoxi lowered his voice and glanced at the roof. "I think someone is secretly monitoring my every move. I want you to find a way to lead that man away first. It's better for him to come back tonight to deal with me."

Joe Alin's face was solemn, "It's Alin who is incompetent. He feels that he has been followed several times, but he can't find any clues."

He slowed down and said worriedly, "I accidentally injured the young lady today. If I want to go to go to the lake, I'm afraid it will involve the young lady's wound, and it is rumored that the water of Taiye Lake is quite deep. For the sake of the young lady's safety, it's better to let Alin go."

Chu Ruoxi shook his head, "No, I must do this in person. You'd better lead away the people who may be hidden in the dark. This must not be known to others."

She played with the prince's night pearl hunting and sending her. "After I pretend to sleep, you can go."

In the middle of the night, the imperial city was dim. Chu Ruoxi came to Taiye Lake again. Regardless of the knife wound in her hand, she took the night pearl in her hand. The night pearl emitted a faint soft light, and she dived down the lake.

The lake was deep, but not as cold as it was in the past few months. She carefully sank to the bottom of the lake, but did not see any box. She changed her breath, did not give up, and dived again.

The seven emperors will never make it so mysterious for no reason, and there is nothing under Taiye Lake.

After going back and forth several times, Chu Ruoxi was a little disappointed and was about to surface. A big stone attracted her attention. The hemp rope wrapped on the big stone did not rot, and the neat traces of being cut with a knife remained unchanged for a hundred years.

This is Guo Yanran, the sunken body in those years, that is, his own big stone. There is still a piece of broken cloth under the big stone, but the body is missing?

Who came to take away Guo Yanran's body, and who can have such a great ability to take away the body in the heavily guarded palace? What is the purpose of a dead body?

Is it the seventh brother?

Chu Ruoxi hid under the willow bushes and looked at the half-curved bright moon in the sky. There was a bitterness in his heart. How could it be that the seventh emperor was shot to death before he returned to the palace.

She took a deep breath and dived into the bottom of the water again - 100 years ago, something must have happened after her death, and was this Taiye Lake really so calm?

This time she finally found something that almost hurt her.

There is a piece of jade on the rope on the side of the big stone at the bottom of the lake - the phoenix eats blood!

At the bottom of the lake not far from the sinking corpse, she found gold and silver naked pieces scattered around, and rotten wooden boxes.

It must have been when the treasure sank, and the box was damaged, and the person who took the treasure could not take care of the scattered gold and silver and did not take it away one by one.

She lost the rich gold and silver, but found the phoenix eating blood on the sunken stone at the bottom of the lake!

Chu Ruoxi held the phoenix tightly and ate blood. Who took the gold and silver from the treasury and tied the phoenix to his sinking corpse stone? What was their purpose?

She returned to the lake with loss and melancholy, but she was shocked to find that there were many guards on the shore. "It's really evil tonight. How long has it been since the Third Highness sent it back? Why does it seem that there are people in the lake?"

Have you been discovered?

The bodyguard rowed a boat to find him. Chu Ruoxi secretly complained. When these guards woke up so alert, they were so careful that they were shocked.

"Your Highness, your third Highness is about to fall into the lake again."

"Plop...Plop."

The Third Highness did not know the water, and the sound of tossing in the water almost overturned Taiye Lake. Several water-knowledged bodyguards jumped off the lake to save him, and the boat that came in the direction of Chu Ruoxi also turned around to save the Third Highness.

Chu Ruoxi was puzzled. It was too timely for the Third Highness to fall into the water again and help her relieve herself. While the bodyguard was attracted by the unfortunate Third Highness, she quietly went ashore from the other side of the lake and quietly sneaked back to the Qingyao Palace.

The third prince fell into the lake twice a night and became a joke in the palace.

Although the Empress hates this stupid prince, she also has to look like she cares about the emperor's son, and blames the people of Zhengde Palace for neglecting the master, taking care of him well, and helping him replace him with new slaves.

Chu Ruoxi recovered from her wounds in the palace. She and Qiao Alin secretly explored the places where there might be clues in the palace, but found nothing. After all, so many years have passed, and I don't know how many times the masters of each palace have changed. How can they return to the beginning?

She was depressed and shuttled around the royal garden at will, but she was attracted by people not far away, wearing light blue robes and standing silently in front of a cluster of rockeries.

He turned his back to Chu Ruoxi, and the purple and gold crown on his head exuded a heavenly atmosphere. Without turning around, Chu Ruoxi knew who he was. He was the stupid prince.

Chu Ruoxi was angry with Yang Zicheng, but he met his descendants here and turned around and left angrily.

"sister Ruoxi!"

The third prince found Chu Ruoxi and his excited voice caught up with him, "Sister Ruoxi, don't go. Come and see this."

Chu Ruoxi ignored him and wanted to leave behind the rockery as if he hadn't heard it.

The third prince was more familiar with the terrain here than her. He suddenly circled in front of her and took her hand and dragged her back. "Sister Ruoxi, do you remember here?"

He pointed to the place where he had stood before, where there was a rockery.

Chu Ruoxi wanted to shake off his hand, but found that he was strong. "Your Highness, let go."

The third prince has been dragging her to the rockery, "I can't let go. Let go of you, and you will ignore me."

This...

Chu Ruoxi's face turned black and shouted, "Let go, say what you have to do. What does it look like?"

He was silly and happy, "Do you remember that when I fell from here, it was you who told my father and saved me?"

That year?

Chu Ruoxi suddenly remembered that Qiao Alin had said that he had entered the palace at the age of 2 and had saved the third prince, and then he fell dumbfounded.

"I don't remember, let me go." Chu Ruoxi didn't want to recall those bad things. If he had been reborn at the age of 2, even if he died, he would not have looked forward.

For no reason, he seemed to have been stabbed by a needle. The person in front of him was young, giving people a fresh and handsome feeling. If he died at that time, wouldn't he only have a pile of white bones left!

Her body couldn't help shivering, emitting a feeling of pity from the depths of her heart.

"sister Ruoxi, are you cold?"

The third prince noticed that Chu Ruoxi trembled and held her hand. "If you are cold, you have to wear clothes."

Chu Ruoxi suddenly understood that he couldn't be reasonable with a fool and no longer wrenched his hand. "I'm not cold, but my hand hurts."

"Where?"

"Here." Chu Ruoxi pointed to the hand that he held tightly.

He let go and said, "Let me see."

Chu Ruoxi withdrew his hand and found that the tiger mouth of the third prince was not as tender as that of ordinary noble children. No wonder he was so powerful that he pulled himself in pain, and there was a cocoon on his palm.

She was alerted that he was the prince. Unless he practiced martial arts and took weapons, how could he be an elder callus?

When the third prince saw Chu Ruoxi staring at his palm, he quickly hid his hand behind him and was a little sad, "Do you also think my hand is ugly?"

His fingers are slender, his hands are very beautiful, and they are not ugly, but Chu Ruoxi didn't say so. She shook her head and looked at her red and swollen wrist. "You pulled me. Did you hide a knife in your hand and cut me?"

"No, you see, I don't have a knife in my hand."

The third prince stretched out his hands and tried his best to clear his grievances, "I will never hurt you with a knife."

Chu Ruoxi felt a little stupid and was carried around by the out-of-tune stupid prince in front of her. She simply asked directly, "Why do you say your hands are ugly? Did anyone say that about you?"

His expression was gloomy, "Won't you dislike me?"

Chu Ruoxi has a feeling of want to die. I don't like you. Is it important? We can't beat a piece, but we said, "Don't dislike it. I think it's good."

He refreshed, "If you say yes, it must be good, and what the eunuch says will definitely not count."

Chu Ruoxi smiled and carefully observed his look. If he pretended to be stupid, let's see how he can do martial arts.

"When I was hungry, I wanted to find my mother's concubine, but I didn't know where she had gone. Later, the eunuch asked me to help them chop wood, and they gave me something to eat. A eunuch was very kind to me. I helped him chop wood. He took a chicken leg for me to eat. Have you ever eaten chicken leg?

Chu Ruoxi was frightened when he heard this. He was trapped in the palace and had to rely on hard work to get a mouthful of food. It was too hard to say. How much the queen hated their mother and son!

"I... don't like chicken legs." Somehow, there was a picture in front of her. In the cold winter, the snow was flying, and a young child held a big axe and worked hard to chop wood for that cold rice.
