He blinked, turned stiffly to the west, and said with He Shiqi's silly expression: "I... I'll go over there." After that, he also left quickly and disappeared among the neatly arranged trees.
Lian sighed and strode forward.
The whole palace was trapped in a certain time, just as she had judged. This time was spring. The surroundings were full of flowers, peach blossoms were in full bloom, and the moist and warm air was filled with the fragrance of flowers.
As she walked forward, she admired the frozen time. In fact, God can also freeze a certain time, so that some beautiful things can be imprisoned forever in this period of time, so that they will not change with the passage of time.
But now, Lian Youyou is still not sure how long this solidification period will last. And where is the energy source that allows this period of solidification
This energy source must be found to break this situation, open the time loop, and take everyone out. However, once the time outside merges with the time inside, the people inside will still disappear in this time, because they will be swallowed up by time.
Except for those who have just come in, such as Duanmu Qingchen.
Therefore, the longer you stay in this time loop, the more disadvantageous it will be for Lian Youyou and the people who come in.
The whole palace was very quiet, with occasional maids and eunuchs passing by, but not many, which showed that it was a deep palace. Fortunately, this was a deep palace. If a city was trapped, the time impact after the breakout would hurt more people.
Avoiding the eunuchs and palace maids, Lian's leisurely posture seemed more like she was touring the entire palace. Then, she saw a group of eunuchs holding white silks walking towards a palace garden. That should be the eunuch who sentenced the concubine to death in the legend. Since everything started with the death of that concubine, Lian wanted to go and see that concubine.
"It's bad - it's bad -" Suddenly, two old maids ran out from the palace, "Run, run -" the old maids ran to the team of eunuchs, "Empress Jing ran away with the zither player!"
"What?!" the eunuch shouted at the top of his voice, "What happened today? We just caught someone who broke into the harem and sent him to the Jingshifang, causing us to be late. How come Concubine Jing ran away with the zither player? Why don't you catch her?! Why don't you catch her!" The eunuch screamed at the eunuchs behind him.
The eunuchs hurried away and the old maids began to search everywhere in panic.
Lian Youyou was stunned. He just caught someone and sent him to the Jingshifang?! Doesn't this idiot know how to hide when he enters someone else's palace? He usually climbs walls very skillfully.
Lian Youyou held her forehead with her hand. However, Duanmu Qingchen dared to touch her secret realm. Where else would he not dare to enter? This time, curiosity killed the chicken!
Lian sighed and jumped off the wall. Go save Duanmu Qingchen first, or the Qian Dynasty will be without an heir. The couple here also ran away, so let them stay together for a while, there is no rush at this time.
"Beer!" Suddenly, a strange sound came from behind Lian Youyou. Lian Youyou turned around and saw a little eunuch waving at her.
Lian Youyou squinted her eyes and looked at the little eunuch in front of her. He had red lips and white teeth, but he was full of evil spirits. She raised her lips and smiled. Could this be...
The young eunuch waved to her, then turned and left.
Lian Youyou followed him with a smile. Soon, the eunuch took her into a remote courtyard and looked around stealthily.
Lian Youyou looked at him with amusement: "No one is following."
The young eunuch was slightly startled and quickly turned around and shouted, "Sir! Sir! Another one is coming in!" The young eunuch shouted while running inside.
With this shout, three people suddenly rushed out of the originally quiet courtyard. A man, a woman, and an old man. All of them were dressed as eunuchs and palace maids.
Lian Youyou understood after taking a look that this group of people should be the ones who were trapped here that year.
The young eunuch looked back at Lian Youyou and waved, "Come in, don't be afraid, we are protecting you. Otherwise, you will be dragged to the Jingshifang like the previous one."
Lian Youyou came back to her senses and immediately went into the yard to ask, "What's going on now? How is that person?"
The young eunuch shook his head: "He has become a eunuch. He was sent to the back room to stop the bleeding."
"Pa!" Lian Youyou slapped her face. This idiot prince was really worrying. Only an idiot would encounter such a trivial matter. Now, Duanmu Qingchen became the first eunuch prince in the history. It was hard to imagine how he felt at this moment.
A man and a woman in the courtyard helped the old man in the middle to come forward. The old man looked at Lian's leisurely appearance and asked with concern: "Girl, you are not with that young man just now, are you?"
Lian Youyou put one hand on her waist and sighed, then nodded to the old man: "Yes, I brought him out."
Several people were stunned when they heard this, but then they looked helpless.
"Girl, I don't mean to scare you, but once you enter here... you really can't get out." The old man shook his head repeatedly, looking tired and apologetic, "I'm sorry, I couldn't save him..."
The man and woman beside him were also sighing, as if they had been frustrated by fate and had given up hope.
The youngest eunuch had a face full of sorrow and he couldn't help crying: "I, we have been here for almost a hundred years... We can't get out... We can't get out..." The young eunuch cried very sadly and sobbed continuously.
Lian Youyou looked at the four people sighing in the yard and smiled: "Now that I'm here, you can go out."
The four of them were stunned at the same time, looking at Lian Youyou, wondering where her confidence came from.
Lian Youyou continued to smile: "You should be the Nine Gates of the previous dynasty."
At this time, the four people became surprised.
Lian Youyou put her hands behind her back and began to circle around them: "Two monsters, an old wizard, and a cultivator. Well... Not bad, no wonder you can still keep your memories, unlike others who will lose their memories during this period of time..."
The four people were even more surprised, and were simply dumbfounded! How did this woman know the secret of this palace? Moreover, she obviously knew what wonders would happen in this palace, because she said that time would restart.
Indeed, this palace will restart in time!
Every afternoon and evening, the palace would restart time with the sound of a piano, and then return to the morning of that day, repeating itself over and over again, day after day. For the people inside, one day outside was actually two days inside. And all the people inside would lose their memories at the same time when time restarted, except for the people of the Nine Gates.
However, leaving every moment of memory behind is a torment for them. It would be better for those who have lost their memories not to know that they are trapped in this half day and can continue to live their lives as usual.
Going there every day repeatedly, being trapped in this palace, maybe one or two days, it will feel novel. But after one or two years, it will start to feel boring, and after ten or a hundred years? It will be like a prison. (To be continued)
