"If Yu Huaian were here, with his brain, he would definitely be able to come up with a solution for me!"

Emperor Xia muttered angrily, then his expression became a little sad, and he thought of something: "Hey, speaking of which, where is Lord Yu?"

He muttered.

He couldn't help but look back at the Queen Mother's phoenix chariot not far behind him, and his tone instantly became gentle: "Grand Queen Mother, Lord Yu, am I here to serve you?"

After a while, a cold yet dignified female voice came from the Phoenix Chariot:

"The underground palace is cold and gloomy. I suddenly feel pain in my legs and feet. The Rain Supervisor is massaging and kneading me right now. If the emperor needs anything, please leave it to others for the time being."

"Good. I hope the Empress Dowager takes care of herself."

After bowing to the phoenix chariot from a distance, Emperor Xia had no choice but to look to the side at the chief eunuch Chen Defu, who had remained silent throughout the entire process.

This old eunuch has extraordinary knowledge and abilities, and is the person he trusts the most in his life.

But he is also the most wary person.

There is no other reason.

Because this person is none other than the mysterious "Venerable" in the dry well, who was sent to assist him!

"Eunuch Chen? What do you think?"

"Your Majesty, this is a spell cast by an alien."

Chen Defu bowed his body and said without raising his head, "An expert in supernatural arts has set up a powerful enchantment in this underground palace in advance. From the moment we entered the gate of the underground palace, we were trapped by this magic. Therefore, everything we see in front of us is false and disordered."

"This is also the reason why we can never reach Queen Xiu's tomb, but the surrounding scenes keep changing."

As soon as these words came out.

The important officials of the imperial court and famous figures in the martial arts world all nodded in agreement, and could not help but cast awe-inspiring glances at this plain-looking old eunuch.

"It still has to be you, Eunuch Chen."

After hearing the other party reveal the secret, Emperor Xia felt much more at ease: "Then do you have a solution?"

"this"

Chen Defu's expressionless face showed an embarrassment: "I am a warrior, I don't know any special skills."

"Hey."

Emperor Xia sighed heavily, and then looked at his aunt who had remained silent the entire time: "Elder Suyue, do you have any good ideas?"

"I"

Su Manying hesitated for a moment, bit her lip and said, "In my opinion, since there are bad guys in this underground palace, for your safety, we should temporarily withdraw."

"No! Absolutely not!"

Emperor Xia interrupted coldly, "Tonight! I must see Queen Xiu's corpse with my own eyes!"

When these words were spoken, the whole audience was shocked.

Emperor Xia realized that he had spoken out of turn, and quickly said, "Ahem, what I mean is that I must bring out the coffin of Sister Xiu tonight, hold a prayer ceremony for her, and clear her name!"

"Hey."

Su Manying naturally knew that the other party was following the orders of the Dry Well Demon, so she could only sigh and say, "In that case, please allow me to ask the Empress Dowager."

As he spoke, he walked towards the Queen Mother's phoenix chariot at the back of the corridor.

At this time, Emperor Xia also thought of something: "Oh right! Concubine Wan! This time, Concubine Wan and the Empress Dowager will ride in the same chariot! The elders should go and ask the Imperial Concubine for her opinion. She might have a solution!"

Inside the phoenix chariot.

"Man Ling pays respect to the Grand Empress Dowager."

Su Manying opened the curtain and knelt down in front of the beautiful royal mistress.

Empress Dowager Xiao looked at Concubine Wan beside her and said:

"Okay, Manling, because of Xiao Anzi, we are now on the same side, so you don't have to be too formal in private."

"good."

Concubine Wan on the side took over the conversation with serious eyes: "The current situation is clear. Queen Shen Mingyue has found a master in this underground palace and set up a mysterious magic formation in advance."

"At this moment, the seven stars are returning to their positions and the sky is full of Xuanji. She must have already placed the holy relic in front of Queen Xiu's coffin and is performing the forbidden art of resurrection."

"Also, according to the speculation of this palace and the Queen Mother, because of the relationship between the two princesses Su Jianli and Su Qingqing, Xiao Anzi is most likely with Shen Mingyue at the moment."

"So, the decision of the Empress Dowager and the Imperial Concubine is..."

Su Manying's heart trembled and she asked through gritted teeth.

"What the Queen Mother and I mean is..."

"We will do nothing, not help each other, and just wait"

"The Rebirth of the Goddess."

Over time.

The air in the underground palace became increasingly cold.

The crowd in the corridor was becoming more and more panicked.

"Strange, why hasn't Elder Su Yue come back yet? Did something happen to the Queen Mother?"

Emperor Xia lifted the carriage curtain with a worried look on his face and looked toward the long corridor at the rear.

"Your Majesty, I have a way to break this enchantment and get out of the underground palace!"

At this moment, a man walked out from among the close ministers at the front of the queue below.

This man had a handsome face, white complexion, black beard, and a thin body. His image was out of tune with the other military officers around him.

It was Mo Zhong, the patriarch of the Mohist School, who had the most respected status among the six ministers and had the most powerful family power behind him.

"Oh! Minister Mo! I almost forgot that you, the master of mechanical devices, are also among the entourage!"

Emperor Xia was overjoyed, and immediately stepped down from the dragon chariot, holding the other party's hand and said, "Lord Mo, tell me quickly, how are you going to crack it?"

"Your Majesty, it is not difficult to break this enchantment. All we need is..."

Mo Zhong hadn't finished speaking yet.

at this time--

"Boom!"

A horrible loud noise suddenly sounded.

In an instant, the entire underground palace shook violently, as if it was about to collapse!

Except for a few eminent monks from the Jintan Temple and some higher-ranking military officers of the imperial court, who were able to use their profound internal strength to barely maintain their bodies.

The guards in the corridor were already staggering and in disarray, with the torches, lanterns, and swords in their hands falling to the ground with a crash!

"Oh my god! I knew there was something wrong with this underground palace!"

"From the beginning I felt something was wrong. Could it be that there really was a wronged ghost haunting us?"

"An innocent ghost? Could it be Queen Xiu? It is said that she died unjustly!"

"Shut up! Don't disturb the morale of the troops!"

"Escort! Escort!"

Following the several accompanying imperial guards generals, military orders were issued.

The elite dragon-controlling soldiers around came forward one after another and surrounded the emperor in the center.

However, just in the next moment.

The vibration suddenly stopped!

Inside the corridor, it was completely quiet, as if nothing had happened!

"Look above your heads!"

In the pitch-black corridor, some young eunuch shouted in a shrill voice.

Everyone in the audience, including the frightened Emperor Xia, looked up.

On the wide stone wall in the front, there suddenly appeared a lifelike virtual scene!

The woman in the picture has skin as white as snow, wears a phoenix crown on her head, and a divine phoenix robe. Her facial features seem to be carefully carved by a god, deep, beautiful, and noble.

At this moment, she was holding a swaddled baby, leaning against the windowsill, sobbing softly, her face looking very sad.

"This seems to be the Queen Show? And this place seems to be in the Star Picking Tower?"

Emperor Xia's body shook violently and his throat trembled.

That's right!

Even after so many years, he could still recognize it at a glance!

The woman in this picture is none other than the Empress Xiu, whom he had met several times!

"What on earth is going on?"

"Why did Sister Xiu's past appear here? Could it be that the Venerable's worries have come true? That woman..."

"Really back?"

Emperor Xia's heart trembled with excitement, and his eyes opened wide.

He, who used to appear to be a majestic figure, now held Chen Defu's arm tightly with one hand and held his most trusted servant Liu Jin tightly with the other.

Just as he was hesitating whether to give the order to cover the stone wall with a curtain.

In the picture, another tall man wearing a black dragon robe suddenly appeared on the right side of the woman.

The strange thing is.

The man in the dragon robe with a grim face was not his elder brother, the late emperor Su Yan, but

The grandfather who had only been seen in portraits in history books, Emperor Wu of Great Xia - Su Qian!

"No, that's not right! That's impossible!"

"When the incompetent emperor Su Yan ascended the throne, his father, Emperor Longsheng, had passed away many years ago! His grandfather, Emperor Wu, had been dead for half a century. How could he possibly appear here? To meet Empress Xiu?"
