The villain who dressed as a woman

Chapter 175
After breakfast,

Gu Mu found an excuse to renovate the imperial study, and took Shen Ling with him.

Shen Ling looked at a winding trail of blood in the courtyard of the imperial study.

He couldn't help but tighten the handkerchief in his hand, and took a deep look at His Majesty.

She heard that after His Majesty came out of the Imperial Study, the guards and maids were all stunned, and His Majesty walked a long way before finding someone to send him, who was seriously injured, to the Imperial Study.

This meandering trail of blood,
It is the proof that Gu Mu asked for help all the way.

For some reason, Shen Ling felt sorry for His Majesty.

Your Majesty really had a narrow escape from death, and only then did you have your current Majesty.

Fortunately, His Majesty survived for her, otherwise, Shen Ling's world would become dark and dull...

Shen Ling looked at the blood on the ground, feeling faintly afraid.

Follow the bloodstains all the way into the royal study,

Shen Ling's heart sank more and more.

Then, at the door of the Royal Study Room,

Shen Ling raised her eyes, and saw the shocking blood stains inside, staining half of the room red.

Overturned tables and chairs, fallen and extinguished candles, scattered memorials all over the floor...

The more messy it is, the more it shows the intensity of the war His Majesty experienced last night.

All of a sudden, Shen Ling's eyes turned red.

……

After the goal was achieved, Gu Mu found an excuse and asked Shen Ling to return to Kunning Palace.

This time,
He decided to lead the way with the sheepskin scroll and interrogate Shen Chao himself.

During this time,

Eunuch Cheng and the dead man also found many clues, but they always lacked some key points.

Eunuch Cheng said that it was as if a pair of invisible hands hid those key points one by one, so they couldn't completely piece together those clues to prove Shen Chao's conspiracy.

Gu Mu knew that these crucial hands were actually Shen Ling.

This bitter trick was not just to make Shen Ling clear up his previous suspicions...

Also because...

Gu Mu asked Shen Ling to distract himself and do other things, and to intervene less in Shen Chao's affairs.

Only in this way can his people find the key evidence that can convict Shen Chao.

Compared with Shen Chao, Gu Mu is very confident, and Shen Ling must care more about himself.

On Gu Mu and the sheepskin scroll, on the way to the dungeon where Shen Ling imprisoned Shen Chao,

After Shen Ling arrived at Kunning Palace, she locked herself in the room alone.

Start to solve the clues of Hidden City...

When His Majesty was in the Empress Dowager's coup, one person was enough to withstand thousands of troops, but there was only one person who assassinated His Majesty, but he could easily seriously injure His Majesty...

His majesty's skill is hard to match in the world.

The person who assassinated His Majesty, as His Majesty guessed, is very likely to be the Lord of the Hidden City.

The Lord of the Hidden City once threatened that he would kill His Majesty himself... But now, he couldn't hold back anymore and started to attack His Majesty...

If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get a tiger's son?
A trace of cruelty flashed in Shen Ling's eyes...

She called Lu Ming, and said softly, "To enter the hidden city, you must have the hidden city order..."

She raised her head, showing a naughty little canine tooth: "I'm very interested in the hidden city..."

"Yes, this servant will get a piece of entry order for your mother!" Lu Ming said very skillfully with his head down.

Soon, Lu Ming disappeared again.

As long as the empress orders, she will do it as quickly as possible, never procrastinating.

In the grove, the parchment was digging the soil with its four corners.

"There is no..."

"There is no..."

For a moment, it was so envious, why didn't it reach a deal with Shen Ling, that little thing that can dig soil.

It's because the posture of the little thing digging the soil is not handsome enough,

Or is it not graceful enough to bury it in the soil?

"Pippi is so tired, Pippi just wants to find a place to rest..." The sheepskin roll quietly sold out its cuteness.

But obviously, this trick didn't work for Gu Mu.

"Dig!" Gu Mu glanced at it coldly: "Who told you not to remember the exact address?"

"When you're done digging, remember to fill it back and cover it with grass. Don't let Ling'er find out that we've been here!"

Sheepskin Scroll: I'm just a child...

but,
Useless.

"It doesn't matter, as long as the master's master is happy, it doesn't matter if I work hard..." I tried various styles of the sheepskin scroll,
Seeing that he could not get rid of the fate of digging, he returned to the essence of licking dogs.

finally--

The four corners of the scroll excitedly shook: "Your Majesty, I dug it out, I dug it out!"

In front of you, there is a big hole,
Under the hole is an iron gate.

At this moment, the body of the parchment was covered with poisonous insects.

These poisonous insects were arranged by Shen Ling to guard the exit here.

As long as they touch humans, ordinary humans will be paralyzed and unable to move for at least a whole day...

But the parchments are not human after all,
Although those poisonous insects were wriggling densely on the parchment,

However, it still couldn't stop the sheepskin scroll from dancing in the air vigorously.

Gu Mu lifted the iron gate with his hands, walked along the hole, and jumped down.

The iron door only prevented the soil covered on it from falling down, and it was not locked.

Under the iron gate, there is a wall made of stone, and a layer of iron sheet is poured on the wall.

Gu Mu walked in along the narrow secret passage, and finally saw a prison cell.

A man covered in blood was tied to a cross with iron chains on his hands and feet.

Although he had heard about the sheepskin scroll, Gu Mu was mentally prepared.

But when he saw it suddenly, Gu Mu still had to sigh: Shen Ling is really ruthless.

This is her own brother after all.

After sighing, Gu Mu was left with endless distress...

How much do you have to be afraid of repeating the same mistakes, so you can do this to your own brother?
Gu Mu suddenly felt a little lucky, glad that he knew the script in advance and knew the secret of Shen Ling's rebirth.

This is why Shen Ling won't be kept at a respectful distance because of his cruel methods.

Because he knew her past, he felt sorry for her ruthlessness now.

"Your Majesty..." Obviously, Shen Chao, who was tied up by Shen Ling, was still alive.

Because the hole was dug, the iron door was opened, and a dim light came in from the outside.

Because of the dim light, Shen Chao could clearly see the person in front of him.

He opened his mouth and shouted in a hoarse voice.

"Your Majesty, are you here to save me?" Shen Chao asked in a hopeful voice: "For some reason, I was suddenly attacked by a man in black and then imprisoned here."

"I wanted to negotiate with the man in black, but the man in black seemed to be deaf. He neither spoke nor accepted the conditions proposed by the minister, and directly tortured the minister..."

"Your Majesty, it's a good thing you're here, otherwise I might die here..."

Shen Chao said weakly.

These days, although someone brings him meals,

But he has always been the pride of the sky, he is used to being sought after by others,

Suddenly thrown into this dark dungeon.

His spiritual energy was also drained away bit by bit in this endless darkness.

His outstanding talent, unique insights into politics, years of planning...

In this dark dungeon, nothing seems to exist.

Here, he would rather die than live,
Only when he gets out can he come back to life.

"Your Majesty, let me go out quickly..." Shen Chao begged with hopeful eyes.
