Every time the prince opens his eyes, he sees

In order to bring down this vicious former crown prince, she had designed a plan to make him fall in love with her, become his aide, make him trust him wholeheartedly, and then work together with Xie Qingchen to drag him into the water.

Now we can be considered to be reuniting with old friends.

But Lu Yaoyao has no time to reminisce with him now. If Gu Huai is dead, there is no point in her trying to conquer him.

"Give me the antidote quickly." Lu Yaoyao shouted coldly, her eyes red.

"You seem to care about him."

For some reason, Xie Qingchen heard a hint of jealousy in this sentence.

But how is it possible?

"If you want it, come and get it yourself." The man in the python robe opened his arms. He looked like he was very familiar with Lu Yaoyao and was not afraid at all.

Lu Yaoyao stepped forward, and Xie Qingchen suddenly grabbed her wrist and scolded her, "Lu Yaoyao, are you crazy? If you go forward, you will die."

"If I don't go, Gu Huai will die."

She glanced at Xie Qingchen with an unbreakable look in her eyes, "Let go."

For the first time, Xie Qingchen felt helpless in front of a woman other than He Yaoyao.

He could only let go.

Watching Lu Yaoyao walk towards the former deposed crown prince of Dajin, Xie Tingxuan.

Xie Tingxuan put his arm around Lu Yaoyao's waist, his lips close to her ear, his eyes dangerous and evil, "He Yaoyao, I thought you were completely dead, but I didn't expect you to come back under someone else's identity."

Lu Yaoyao's eyes were cold, "Maybe God wants me to kill you again."

"Really? Do you think I'll fall for your trick?"

Lu Yaoyao was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and only said two words, "Give me medicine."

"Medicine, how can I give you?"

"I called you here just to catch up with you. Now that you've gone to the underworld, we can't catch up anymore."

He sneered sinisterly in her ear.

"Then you die." Lu Yaoyao did not hesitate and stabbed Xie Tingxuan directly.

The speed is so fast that it is almost imperceptible.

Not only Xie Nicholas Tse, but also Xie Qingchen.

Xie Tingxuan's body stiffened for a moment, and a strange smile appeared on his face. "I didn't know you had such good skills."

"There are so many things you don't know." Lu Yaoyao held the knife and slashed it along his left abdomen.

The blood flowed onto her hands and she felt dirty, but she remained calm and remained cool.

Xie Tingxuan slapped her away with a palm, and the judgment voice from hell said, "Welcome to hell for all of you."

As Xie Nicholas Tse's voice fell, the surrounding flute sounds suddenly stopped, and the ground where the few people were standing suddenly collapsed and cracked.

Several people fell down directly.

There are steel needles, iron spikes, venom, poisonous snakes, and all kinds of things that can kill people if they touch you.

If it weren't for Xie Qingchen and Qingfeng protecting them, Lu Yaoyao and Gu Huai would have no chance of landing without suffering any harm.

"What should we do now?" Qingfeng asked after landing, while being alert to the dangers that might exist in the dark around him.

"Let's see how Gu Huai is doing first." Xie Qingchen felt much safer down there than up there.

Lu Yaoyao tore open the clothes on the part of Gu Huai that was bitten by the snake, revealing the skin and flesh underneath, and found that the part that was bitten by the snake had begun to turn black and rot.

Without thinking, she took out a dagger, cut away the dead flesh around the wound, and then sucked out the poisonous blood.

Xie Qingchen's thin lips moved slightly, wanting to speak, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Gu Huai gradually regained consciousness, and the outline in front of him went from blurry to familiar. When he was fully awake, it was Lu Yaoyao who fell down.

"Yaoyao, how are you?" he asked anxiously.

Lu Yaoyao spat out the last mouthful of black blood she had inhaled and said weakly, "I'm fine. It's just that a slight toxin entered my body. Once I get up and find the right medicine to take, I'll be able to excrete the toxin on my own."

"I'll carry you." Gu Huai lifted Lu Yaoyao up and said to Xie Qingchen, "Your Highness, we need to get out as soon as possible, otherwise Yaoyao's life will be in danger."

Although Xie Qingchen's expression was calm, he was also anxious in his heart, "I'm already looking for a way out. Please wait patiently and talk to her. Don't let her fall asleep."

Seeing this, Gu Huai didn't know what to say.

He was worried about leaving Lu Yaoyao to someone else.

If he watched by himself, he would not be able to find the exit of the cave.

But with the prince's intelligence and talent, he believed that as long as the cave had a mechanism that could open the exit, he would be able to find it.

As time passed, the atmosphere in the cave became increasingly tense.

Gu Huai held Lu Yaoyao tightly on his back, talking to her non-stop and making promises to her, fearing that she would fall asleep and never wake up.

Xie Qingchen kept observing the walls and ground around him, trying to find hidden mechanisms.

"Here!" Xie Qingchen suddenly pointed at a place that looked no different from any other stone wall and shouted.

He pressed hard, and saw the stone wall slowly move inward, revealing a narrow passage.

"Found it!" Gu Huai was delighted and immediately carried Lu Yaoyao towards the entrance.

Qingfeng followed closely behind, always alert to possible dangers.

The passage was pitch black, but fortunately Xie Qingchen had a fire starter with him, so the four of them were able to move forward in the dim light.

The passage was not long and they soon reached the end, where a heavy stone door appeared in front of them.

"Why is there another door?" Gu Huai was so angry that he punched the stone door hard.

No one is more anxious, frightened, and afraid of losing than he is at this moment.

Xie Qingchen remained silent. He knew that the more chaotic the situation became, the harder it would be to find the mechanism to open the stone door.

He first felt around the stone door with his fingers, and when he found nothing unusual, he took the torch and shone it on the stone walls on both sides to see if there were any patterns or clues.

The stone walls on both sides were smooth and there were no patterns or hints. Xie Qingchen could only be patient and knock on the walls and the stone bricks on the ground one by one with his fingers.

Fortunately, he discovered that there was an echoing sound from the gap in a stone brick on the ground.

Xie Yanchen was delighted and used his inner strength to forcibly lift the stone brick. He broke it open and found a slot inside, engraved with the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches...

It is a switch related to year timing.

But to which corresponding time point should the pointer be moved to activate the mechanism?

"Your Highness, would you like to try them one by one?"

"No." Lu Yaoyao's voice was as soft as a mosquito. "If you act rashly, you might trigger the mechanism in the cave. We will all be buried here."

Xie Qingchen obviously did not approve of this blind behavior.

He continued to observe everything around him and found some strange stones.

It occurred to me that perhaps these seemingly disorderly placed stones were related to this mechanism.

He studied it carefully, walked back to the mechanism, took a deep breath, and moved the pointers with his fingers, moving them to the two numbers Ding and Chou representing time.

A moment later, accompanied by a dull sound of mechanical operation, the stone door slowly opened, and outside was a dense bamboo forest.

"The stone gate is open." Qingfeng said happily.
