After Shang Binghe entered the study, he immediately conducted a careful inspection.
But after looking around, I didn't find any sign that it had been disturbed, or even a sign that anyone had been there.
However, this made Shang Binghe even more uneasy.
Because this means that the other party is not here for the objects in this room, but for something else!
He entered here deliberately and was careful not to leave any traces. Who knows what An’s intentions were? !
Finally, Shang Binghe walked to the bookshelf and groped on it for a while.
Then, a hidden grid popped up on the wall behind the bookshelf.
He took out something from the secret compartment, looked at it for a while, seemed relieved, and put it back.
"fine."
His voice was very low, but you could still hear the joy and fear in it.
After standing still for a while, he pushed the hidden compartment back and made some moves on the bookshelf, seeming to be restoring the mechanism on it.
After a while, after confirming that everything was safe, he turned around and walked out, locking the door again.
Shang Binghe stood on the steps in front of the door and said in a cold voice:
"Bring Qian Dehou immediately!"
Realizing that something was wrong, the soldiers in charge of guarding reacted one after another and responded quickly:
"Yes Yes!"
After saying that, my legs and feet were still nimble, so I went in a hurry.
The soldier who had been beaten half to death by him before was lying on the ground with blood on his face and body, but he did not dare to say even a word of begging for mercy, and was only trembling with fear.
They all know that if something goes wrong, they will be the first to die!
Shang Binghe glanced at the two of them coldly.
"Come here! Tie them both up! When Qian Dehou comes, we will confront each other together!"
"yes!"
Outside the study, blood was spreading, and the cold and oppressive atmosphere was almost breathless.
But in the study room, Chu Liuyue was finally able to breathe, moved her wrists and neck, and felt sore.
When Shang Binghe came in just now, she took the opportunity to teleport and sneaked in too.
As a result, Shang Binghe rummaged here for a long time, forcing her to huddle in an extremely small space, and her whole body was almost stiff.
Fortunately, he finally went out and closed the door again.
This undoubtedly greatly facilitated Chu Liuyue.
Even she herself had to admit that her luck was really unlucky tonight!
Confirming that the people outside were still waiting to catch Qian Dehou, Chu Liuyue felt relieved and walked to the bookshelf silently.
Just now, she only vaguely saw Shang Binghe tinkering here for a while, opening the secret compartment, but she didn't see clearly how he did it.
So now, she must find a way to crack it as soon as possible.
At first glance, this bookshelf looks no different from an ordinary bookshelf.
There are no barriers, no profound formations, and not even special lines.
Ordinary, ordinary.
Chu Liuyue stared at it for a while before hesitating to take action.
She had studied the mechanism with Cen Yi for a period of time, and she could barely recognize that this seemed to be some kind of mechanism.
But even she was not sure whether it could be opened smoothly.
After that, she tried several methods, but there was still no movement from the thing.
"Master Shang, bring Qian Dehou!"
Suddenly there was a harsh communication sound outside.
Chu Liuyue was shocked.
Her time is running out!
This mechanism must be opened as soon as possible!
In desperation, she quickly tried again!
But this time, the bookshelf finally changed!
The originally flat and smooth board surface was suddenly divided into several parts, and they were undulating and intertwined!
It's a pity that the hidden grid didn't pop up.
"Qian Dehou, do you know why I asked you to come here?"
This is Shang Binghe’s voice!
Chu Liuyue had beads of sweat on her forehead. She was very nervous and tried again!
"Subordinate. I don't know."
Qian Dehou's voice was blank, with a hint of panic.
He was sleeping well, but suddenly he was picked up from the bed and taken directly to the palace!
Still in the courtyard of the prince's study!
Seeing Shang Binghe's expression, he knew something was wrong!
But he really didn’t know what was going on!
"They said, today, you entered the prince's study?" Shang Binghe said coldly, and then suddenly shouted, "You are so brave!"
Snapped!
A loud slap came!
Chu Liuyue's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by something, and she immediately tried again!
The wooden grid changes, but there is still no movement in the hidden grid!
"Subordinate, I don't—ah!"
"Say! What's going on!"
Qian Dehou's argument sounded particularly weak at this time.
"Is it possible that everyone in the inner courtyard has united to spread rumors against you!? Do you want me to take you in now and help you recall your memories?!"
After Shang Binghe finished speaking, a chaotic sound came from the courtyard.
Among them, the footsteps are getting closer!
They actually seemed to really want to come in and take a look!
Chu Liuyue's back was almost soaked with sweat!
Click!
This is the sound of unlocking!
Chu Liuyue gritted her teeth and quickly passed her hands over the bookshelf for one last try!
If it still doesn't work this time, then she has to give up no matter what!
clatter.
Only an extremely subtle sound was heard, and the hidden grid finally popped up again!
Chu Liuyue stepped forward and took out the contents!
It's cold to start with, and it's also heavy.
After seeing clearly what was in her hand, a trace of surprise flashed across Chu Liuyue's face.
This turned out to be a bronze mirror!
However, unlike ordinary bronze mirrors, this one does not reflect the face of the person holding the mirror, but instead is filled with a rich color of blood!
At first glance, it looks like a sea of blood, very terrifying!
The eerie and terrifying aura spread out from it, almost making people suffocate!
An indescribable chill rose from the soles of her feet, making Chu Liuyue shiver all over!
For some reason, just by looking at it, she felt an extremely terrifying murderous intention!
She tried her best to control her urge to throw the mirror out, and stared at it for a long time.
Gradually, the blood on it dispersed little by little, and a blurry scene appeared.
It seemed to be a cage, surrounded by darkness and nothing could be seen clearly.
There was only a vague figure inside the iron cage.
He was sitting on his knees on the ground, with a chain tied around his neck, his head hung, motionless with blood stains on his body.
Chu Liuyue's heart jumped suddenly!
Almost at the first sight of this figure, she recognized that this was Chu Ning!
She bit her lip tightly and tried her best to restrain herself from shouting.
After not seeing each other for so long, he seemed to have lost a lot of weight. The clothes on his body looked empty. You could even see that the wrists exposed under the cuffs had become so thin that only bones remained.
Chu Liuyue's chest instantly surged with endless anger, almost bursting!
Just at this moment, there was a "bang" and the door was opened!
