Chapter 310 Mechanism
As clever as the prince was, he immediately understood that he had to find out the source of the black air they were talking about today.
He hurriedly said, "The shovel is not in Wenhua Hall, but there is a knife under the bed. I wonder if the emperor's uncle can use it?"
Having said that, he immediately ran under the bed and took out a dusty big knife.
Lu Xuan looked at the ground, sighed softly, and then nodded: "Let's try it!"
The floor of Wenhua Hall was paved with rosewood. Feixing, who had been following behind him, took the long sword.
But Lu Xuan still didn't give up and continued to check the walls and cabinets carefully.
Amid the sound of Fei Xing's deliberately lowered blade rubbing against the floor, Lu Xuan's eyes suddenly focused.
"and many more!"
Feixing stopped what he was doing.
Jiang Xing and the prince quickly walked to her side and followed her gaze. They saw that under the wooden door, close to the wall, there were four pieces of rosewood flooring arranged differently from the others. All the other floors were arranged vertically, only those few were arranged horizontally.
"Do you think there is a problem here?" Jiang Xing asked.
Lu Xuan nodded, "Feixing, pry these pieces apart."
The prince stared closely at Fei Xing as he pried open the floorboards bit by bit. However, after he had lifted up all the floorboards, Lu Xuan and Jiang Xing were greatly disappointed to find that there was nothing on the ground except mud.
Feixing was a little depressed.
"It seems that the secrets of this place are really hard to find. Do we really have to search this entire hall bit by bit?"
Lu Xuan stared at the black energy on the floor for a long time, seemingly unable to think of any other way to solve this problem. Then he said, "No need."
"If we search the entire hall, it will not only be time-consuming and laborious, but it will also be too conspicuous. Even if we do find something in the end, it will have given others time to respond and alert the enemy."
"It's been a while since the prince came out. Let's just leave it at that for now and clear away the evil spirits that are affecting His Highness's health."
Jiang Xing and the prince were still staring at the lifted wooden boards in thought, while Lu Xuan had already started to recite the incantation.
Seeing that Lu Xuan had already started to act, Fei Xing consciously retreated back to the door to guard it.
After a spell, a golden light seemed to flash at Lu Xuan's lower back, and then two yellow talismans flew out from her body, circling at knee-high height above the ground, and then spontaneously ignited without fire, emitting blue flames.
As the two talismans swirled and burned, their circling paths in the low sky also drew a talisman seal.
Following Lu Xuan's shout, "Destroy!"
The large amount of black gas that surged out of the ground suddenly seemed to encounter a strong wind and quickly dissipated in an instant.
Jiang Xing saw that the black energy near the door was no longer there. He then looked at the roof of the palace and saw that the gloomy energy he had seen near the palace wall before had finally disappeared. He hurriedly asked, "If this happens, will it no longer affect Yan'er?"
Although the black gas rising from the ground had been eliminated, Lu Xuan's expression was only slightly relieved.
There was a hint of solemnity in her eyes. "I don't know. Although I have resolved the evil spirit here, I have only used magic on this piece of land. I haven't found the real root cause, so I haven't completely solved it..."
As she spoke, she looked up at the prince and said, "Your Highness, we don't have much time today, so this is the only way to deal with it now."
"There's one more thing. That day, you seemed to have something to tell us, but your story was interrupted by the assassination attempt by the tea delivery man. Do you still remember what you wanted to tell us?"
She waited for two breaths, but the prince did not respond, but continued to stare at the wooden boards.
Only then did Lu Xuan realize that the prince's mind seemed to still be on that evil spirit.
Seeing that the prince was still in a daze, Jiang Xing was about to remind him, but at this moment, he suddenly excitedly said, "I know!"
"I know how to open these boards!"
Lu Xuan was startled. "Your Highness, do you mean to know how to find the source of that evil spirit?"
The prince nodded continuously, "Yes, there is a mechanism! There must be a mechanism!"
Jiang Xing was also excited by this sentence, "Where?!"
The prince pointed tremblingly at the door that was bolted to the wall, "Open that door and take it down!"
The prince seemed to be struggling to suppress the excitement in his heart. His face was flushed, tears were gleaming in his eyes, and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly.
"Flying Star!"
Jiang Xing shouted.
Feixing immediately stepped forward and, following Jiang Xing's instructions, quickly unscrewed the buckle of the door and slowly took it down.
The prince seemed to have no idea how to face the upcoming situation, or perhaps it was the fear of the unknown. He gradually squatted down, hugged his knees, and couldn't help crying.
The prince's sobbing and crying could be heard continuously. Jiang Xing didn't understand what was wrong with him and wanted to go over to stop him, but Lu Xuan told him to leave it alone for the time being and to quickly follow Fei Xing to take down the door.
The sound of the imperial guards beating each other with sticks outside stopped, and was followed by very low complaints and grumblings.
Lu Xuan was worried about arousing the vigilance outside, so he put two fingers together and quickly chanted a calming mantra. Then, the prince's crying gradually became softer, and the whole bedroom became quiet until the only sound of the door being removed was heard.
She knew that over the years, the prince had no mother's protection, and his father had fallen in love with another woman again. His life must have been extremely difficult.
There is nothing wrong with the prince releasing his emotions appropriately.
However, there are so many imperial guards outside. If someone hears it and catches the prince, or finds out that his illness has recovered, it will be too dangerous.
Seeing the prince crying, she thought it was just because he missed his mother, or he didn't want to face the death of his sister Siyu in his childhood again.
So apart from thinking that the prince's ability to control his emotions was a little weak, I didn't think too much about it.
It was a long time before she realized how naive she was at that moment.
After Lu Xuan's spell, the prince himself seemed to realize the strangeness of the moment. The sadness in his heart was soothed, and he could not shed a single tear.
Jiang Xing and Fei Xing finally took the door down with great effort. Just as they were about to put it on the ground, the prince immediately stood up and shouted, "Don't move!"
Jiang Xing and Fei Xing stood there in a daze, and Lu Xuan immediately looked at him.
The prince rushed to Jiang Xing in a few steps and pointed at the grooves where the floorboards were missing after being lifted up. "It's right here, put it down!"
Feixing was almost stunned.
Could it be that the prince has some illness?
It was obvious that the bumpy marks on the ground had nothing in common with the door.
He was already quite surprised when he was asked to take the door panel just now.
But thinking that it was the prince's order, he didn't say much.
But at this moment, the prince still asked it to be put into the groove.
The ground looks solid at first glance.
Whose machine uses such a big thing as a switch?
Fei Xing looked at Jiang Xing and immediately received a sweeping look from Jiang Xing, "Put it in!"
Feixing pursed his lips and silently placed the door panel into the grooves under the four previous wooden floors.
However, because the door was quite heavy, Jiang Xing let go again. At the last moment when he was about to let go, Fei Xing failed to control the force well, and with a "bang", the door panel fell heavily.
What they didn't expect was that at this moment, the sound of blue bricks rubbing against each other could be heard on the ground.
Then, several floor tiles at Lu Xuan's feet began to move to both sides, and a deep and dark corridor appeared in front of him.
