"Xuan Yi, you stay here, and I will give you full authority to handle the rest of the matter! If there is anything that cannot be decided, send a message to the emperor."
Baili Mochen quickly put the letter in his sleeve into Xuan Yi's doubts, stood up and gave him instructions.
"yes!"
Hearing his master's instructions, Xuan Yi nodded solemnly almost out of instinct, and was stunned for a while before reacting.
Everything here is left to you, what about the master
"Then Master, you..."
Just when Xuan Yi was about to raise his head to ask, he saw that his master, who was still on the throne, had long since disappeared, leaving only a black shadow disappearing into the air.
Looking at the figure disappearing into the distance, Xuan Yi felt a faint feeling of uneasiness in his heart.
...
On the other side, the lights were bright in an underground chamber in the northwest desert.
Two figures sat next to each other in the corner of the secret room. You looked at me and I looked at you, looking at each other speechlessly.
Yuan'er and Yun Ji have been locked up in this place for several days. Except for the meals and water that are delivered on time every day, no one comes to ask them questions, and no one abuses them.
It made the siblings look confused, but they didn't think anything of it at first.
I thought about finding a chance to escape. As time goes by, my mother and brother will definitely send someone to find me.
But several days had passed, and still no one had found their siblings, and the two of them couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
But they all did not show it on their faces, they just waited quietly without crying or making trouble.
What the two siblings didn't know was that they had been staying in this secret room for nearly ten days.
It's just that I've been in a coma for the past few days, so I don't know. It's only been three or four days since I woke up.
Yuan'er had looked at this secret room many times and wanted to wait for an opportunity to escape. However, she searched the entire secret room and found nothing similar to a mechanism, so she had no choice but to give up.
I continued to wait, but after three days of waiting, every time the person who delivered water or food just handed the food in through the small iron window on the door of the secret room, never giving them a chance to escape.
Today's meal was still delivered on time. Yun Ji looked at the plate of green vegetables, the plate of fried meat and two steamed buns, his mouth was flat, and he looked at his sister with a pair of bright black eyes.
"Sister, can we eat?"
Yunji asked quietly in her sister's ear.
Yuan'er looked at her brother's eager eyes, thought for a while and nodded.
At first, the two siblings were afraid to eat the food here, but after two days of hunger, they couldn't help but eat it.
If you don't starve to death, even if you get a chance to escape, you won't be able to do it if you don't have the strength!
Fortunately, the two siblings who had eaten did not feel any discomfort, so when facing the eager eyes of his younger brother, Yuan'er reached out and brought the two plates of vegetables and steamed buns to the stone table in the middle of the secret room and said.
"Come on, eat."
"Well, sister, you can eat too. We have to eat enough to maintain our strength." Yun Ji stood up and walked to the edge of the stone table, saying with a stern face.
"Yeah!" Yuan'er nodded and said nothing more.
She didn't know how long she and her brother would be kept here, and what they would face. She could only wait in agony, praying silently in her heart that her mother and father would find them soon.
Just as the two siblings were eating their food slowly and were about to finish, the heavy iron door of the secret room behind them slowly made a dull sound.
The two siblings turned around and looked at the iron gate in unison. The black shadow behind the iron gate gradually revealed its true form...
