Chapter 757 Discovering the secret passage

"There must be something we've overlooked."

Shan Li told Xiao Wenye the whole story again.

Xiao Wenye took out the sachets and checked them again, but still had no clue.

He originally thought that his medical skills were among the best, but now he once again doubted his abilities.

Shan Li also felt that there must be something in this matter that he had not grasped.

Shan Yu's confession was finally confirmed from the side, and the sachets in the hands of those ladies were indeed related to her. They were all received one after another in recent days.

But the recipe she handed over didn't match the one in reality.

This is where things got stuck.

I feel like there is a problem, but I don't know where it is.

Seeing Shan Li's unhappy expression, Xiao Wenye wanted to say something several times, but in the end he only said one sentence, "Although I don't have the ability to wake her up, I can keep her in her current state."

"Thank you very much."

Feng Yi rushed in at this time and said excitedly, "Master! We have discovered something in the Cining Palace. There really is a secret passage inside!"

The people from the Ministry of Works were reliable. In just a few hours, they actually found a secret passage.

In fact, it is not uncommon to have secret passages in the palace.

Many people know that there is a secret passage where His Majesty often appears.

That was a fallback just in case.

However, the person who built this secret passage has long died, and the only person who knows about this secret passage is Your Majesty.

And really no one knows about the secret passage in the Cining Palace.

When Shan Li arrived, part of the ruins had been cleared.

The entrance to the secret passage was directly chiseled out.

Having been exposed to fire, some devices are more fragile.

It might be difficult to open it completely, but it would be easy to destroy it.

"Have you sent anyone in? Where does it lead to?"

Shan Li looked around. The secret passage was pitch black. He couldn't make out any clues just by looking around.

"A team of people has already gone in, and they haven't come back yet."

Feng Yiben originally wanted to lead the team himself.

But someone was needed to take charge here, so he sent his men to go.

“Who found this?”

"It's a stonemason from the Ministry of Works." Feng Yi shouted towards the door, "Bring him up."

Soon, the disheveled stonemason was brought in front of Shan Li.

He was cleaning up the rubble and his hands and body were covered in dirt.

"How did you find out?"

"To answer your question, my family has been dealing with stones for generations. We are very familiar with stones. When we were cleaning up the ruins here, we suddenly found that the stones used here were different from those used elsewhere, so we kept an eye on them. I didn't expect that there was something fishy going on."

"The materials used in the palace are all of the same quality as much as possible. The stones used here look the same, and the colors and patterns are similar, but experts know that the two are different."

The stonemason pointed to the entrance of the secret passage and the area right next to it.

"The material here is better and denser, mainly to prevent damage when opening and closing multiple times. The ones next to it don't have such high requirements. Moreover, the patterns here are not so natural. If you look closely, you will know that these are human traces."

The stonemason explained the difference between the two places.

"That's right! You have made a contribution. The Ministry of Industry will reward you later."
