That was the place where she decided to burn herself to death in her previous life. No one was more familiar with it than she was.
There seemed to be a faint smell of flames in the air, heavy and desolate.
Chu Liuyue raised her feet and walked forward.
After walking for a while, there is a staircase.
Next to the stairs, there was a luminous pearl. The light they saw before was obviously from this.
She continued going up and soon touched a jade slab.
There is a circular groove on the jade slab.
Chu Liuyue thought for a while and pressed in the luminous pearl next to her.
Perfect fit!
Click!
The jade slab slowly moved away!
A ray of light penetrated from the crack!
Chu Liuyue raised her hands to cover her eyes, and when the jade slab was completely removed, she jumped!
Qihan and others quickly followed suit!
Suddenly exiting the dark and cramped tunnel, and after briefly adapting to the light, Chu Liuyue looked around.
After one glance, she was sure that this was the west hall of the royal ancestral hall.
Because of the fire two years ago, this place has become a ruin.
There are many traces, devastation, desolation and silence.
This is the first time Chu Liuyue has entered here after his rebirth.
She pursed her lips.
At that time, she only thought about dying together with Jiang Yucheng and the others, but she did not expect that the fire would burn for so long and directly destroy the entire ancestral hall.
"It turns out that this tunnel really leads directly from Huayang Hall to the Royal Ancestral Hall."
After Qihan came out, he stood behind Chu Liuyue, looked around, and couldn't help but murmur in a low voice.
They must have a purpose for doing this, but why
Chu Liuyue was also thinking about this issue.
She lowered her head and took a closer look at the jade slab. The wear on the edges was clearly visible.
This tunnel may appear earlier than she expected!
The ancestral hall is an important place for the royal family and cannot be easily approached by ordinary people.
Why did they take such a big risk and dig such a tunnel
Moreover, there is another point that Chu Liuyue has never understood.
If they wanted to kill her, they could actually do it in many places. Why did they choose the royal ancestral hall
Chu Liuyue was stuck for a while, but did not find any valuable clues.
Almost everything here was destroyed in the fire.
Moreover, the royal ancestral hall is an important place, and Shangguan Wan must be extremely careful even if she comes quietly from the tunnel.
After watching the room for a while, Chu Liuyue went out and headed towards the main hall.
As soon as she went out, Chu Liuyue noticed that there seemed to be some fresh signs of repairs on the outside of the west hall.
These were obviously what Shangguan Wan had requested before.
But before the repairs were completed, something happened to Shangguan Wan, and things here were delayed.
Looking back now, it just makes people sigh.
Chu Liuyue stood in front of the door for a moment and then noticed something dripping on her face.
She looked up and saw that the sky had become dark at some point, and raindrops were falling.
Soon, the rain formed a line, like countless silk threads, connecting the heaven and the earth together.
Chu Liuyue looked forward.
The main hall of the ancestral hall, which has been burned by fire, appears to be well-preserved from the outside.
Because outside this ancestral hall, there used to be a barrier placed by Taizu himself.
Once in danger, it can be turned on.
It's a pity that the fire back then was started from within.
From here, you can still vaguely see some traces.
"master."
Qihan followed up and looked at her with complicated eyes.
I don’t know how His Highness felt when he decided to set himself on fire and died here.
Now that I have returned again and see this scene, how do I feel in my heart
For His Highness, this is the place where she experienced the most painful days in her life. If today was not to investigate the strange secret passage, Your Highness would not be willing to come again, right
Chu Liuyue said:
"You guys stay guard in the corridor while I go in and take a look."
Qi Han wanted to follow her in, but looking at her calm and indifferent profile, he nodded anyway.
"yes."
Chu Liuyue never thought that she would come back one day.
Even after she was reborn, all she could think about was revenge, and she never thought about returning here.
She seems to always avoid relevant questions subconsciously.
I don’t know if it’s because she once suffered the deepest betrayal and experienced the most profound pain here.
In the past, she could not get close to this place due to her status.
But now, she has restored her original name and can come in and out of here at will, but she has never been here once.
Unexpectedly, this time, because of an inexplicable secret passage, she would come back like this.
The rain fell harder and harder, falling on the eaves and corners of the house, making a crackling sound.
Chu Liuyue took a deep breath, opened the door, and walked in.
It was like opening a box that had been sealed for a long time, and the air was filled with a desolate and old atmosphere.
Chu Liuyue looked intently.
Except for the memorial tablets of the ancestors placed in the innermost part, which are still in good condition, almost all others have been burned out.
She walked over, knelt down in front of the altar table, and kowtowed three times respectfully.
When she was determined to die, she almost destroyed the rankings of all the ancestors.
If that were the case, she would regret it and be unable to save it.
A translucent figure appeared beside Chu Liuyue.
It was Taizu.
He stared at the rankings for a long time, then looked at Chu Liuyue who was kneeling on the ground and hadn't gotten up for a long time, and sighed softly.
"Girl, you don't have to blame yourself. It was Jiang Yucheng and Shangguan Wan who made the mistake. Even if they have to be punished, they should bear the responsibility. You are so innocent. I don't blame you. If these people knew, they would I won’t blame you."
Chu Liuyue straightened up, something seemed to be surging in her chest.
Thousands of words finally turned into just one sentence:
"Thank you Taizu."
Taizu smiled and touched her head across the void.
"You are a good boy. We, the Shangguan family, are lucky to have you!"
Even though he was just a soul now and had no feeling from such a touch, Chu Liuyue still felt soft in her heart.
She looked around and breathed out gently, as if she wanted to release all the accumulated emotions.
"When I go back today, I will start sending people to renovate the ancestral hall."
"This matter is not urgent. What's the point of staying in this ancestral hall? I'm just happy to follow you everywhere."
Taizu joked.
Chu Liuyue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but the sadness and guilt she felt before was relieved a lot.
I am so lucky to have such great love from Taizu.
"Huh? What is that?"
Taizu suddenly fixed his gaze and looked at the corner of the table.
There was a dark red blood stain remaining there.
Chu Liuyue took a look.
"That's when I hit it, and that's why I left—"
Chu Liuyue was about to explain, but suddenly she felt the water droplets in her dantian shaking violently!
