The secret passage leading to the deposed prince's mansion is in an extremely ordinary courtyard outside the imperial city.

There had always been someone living in the yard. I guess Ji Yan had notified them early on. Uncle Ming had just knocked three times, and the gate was opened.

A group of four people entered the door one after another, and the gate was closed instantly.

In the main hall, an old man over fifty years old bowed to Ji Yan, called out "Taifu", then bowed to the Guanyin enshrined on the wall, then stretched out his hands and twisted the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Who would have thought that the trap would be on Guanyin Bodhisattva.

With a loud bang, a tunnel leading downwards appeared under the niche of Guanyin Bodhisattva.

"Ah Ming, you guys stay here to provide support, I will take the fourth young lady with me."

Ji Yan spoke, causing Uncle Ming, who had been planning to lead the charge, to pause. He turned his head to look at Ji Yan, then immediately stepped aside: "Yes."

The other person immediately handed the torch to Ji Yan: "Master, be careful."

After taking the torch, Ji Yan was the first to go down the stairs and walk into the darkness.

After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Hao took out the night pearl from the space and followed Ji Yan.

This secret passage was very deep. Jiang Haomo counted about a hundred steps going down before he reached the flat stone slabs.

I think they want to bypass the walls of the imperial city.

The secret passage was pitch black and had no ventilation all year round. After walking for a while, Jiang Hao felt a little short of oxygen. She quickly took a pill from the space and swallowed it, and drank two sips of spiritual spring water.

Ji Yan was not far ahead, and he couldn’t see his back clearly. He could only see the light of the torch sliding through the darkness.

Jiang Hao followed Ji Yan slowly and leisurely. After about half an hour, the two finally reached the end of the secret passage.

Ji Yan hesitated for a moment at the mechanism and extinguished the torch.

Jiang Hao immediately put away the night pearl.

Ji Yan then pressed a green brick in front of him.

After the secret wall was opened, there were stairs leading upwards.

However, they were in the dark and Jiang Hao couldn't see clearly how many steps there were.

"Be careful."

After Ji Yan finished speaking, he climbed up the stairs.

The two of them quickly came out of the secret passage, and Jiang Hao then discovered that they had entered a room filled with a foul stench.

It looks exactly like... a toilet.

However, it was light at night and the room was spacious, not a toilet.

Jiang Hao had a bold guess in her heart, but... she didn't dare to imagine that it was true.

Ji Yan walked through the night with familiarity. Smelling the same stench, he breathed heavily and his eyes felt sore and bitter.

Jiang Hao followed behind him, took out the night-shining pearl, let out a tiny glimmer of light from between his fingers, and looked carefully at the environment in the room.

The tables, chairs and benches in the room were in a mess, and the house was full of cobwebs, as if it had been abandoned for a long time.

It was not until Jiang Hao heard a sigh and looked in the direction of the sound that she saw Ji Yan's figure walking to the bed. Only then did she realize that there was a "person" lying on the bed.

However, the hands of this "person" placed outside the quilt were skinny and dry, like a mummy.

"Okay, come here."

Ji Yan called her in a low voice.

Jiang Hao took a few steps closer, and the light of the night pearl illuminated the person on the bed. She saw his gray and skinny face, his sunken eyes, and his huge eyeballs looking at her. She was instantly frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.

If Jiang Hao didn't know who the person in front of him was, he would have definitely mistaken him for a demon crawling out of hell.

Abandoned prince!

The living dead lying on the bed is the deposed prince!
