Mo Qing immediately cupped his hands, "Yes." Finishing, he took the lead to walk in with his sword.
Shen Miao looked at Mo Qing's back view and was in a trance for a moment. In the past and present life, no matter what identity, Mo Qing seemed to be this cautious and loyal.
The tea room was very big and was divided into three levels by a screen. Each level was extremely extravagant and different from the elegance outside, it was more like the style of the Palace. Mo Qing carefully checked and confirmed that there were no assassins hidden inside before cupping his hands towards Shen Miao, "Young Lady can just call Mo Qing if there is anything. Mo Qing will guard outside." Finishing, he walked out.
After Mo Qing left, Shen Miao walked to the table in front of the tea room. On the table, there was a blue and white tea set with a good glaze. It seemed that she had seen it before in the Palace. Shen Miao swept a glance and walked past it. She walked past the first screen and the second screen and came to the third level of the tea room.
On the third level of the tea room, the walls were filled with paintings and calligraphy. Looking carefully, there was no lack of famous inscriptions on the paintings and this room that was filled with paintings and calligraphy would be worth a thousand gold. Shen Miao looked at the paintings one by one as if she was appreciating them but when she walked in front of a painting, her footsteps stopped.
That was a painting of a night banquet and it was from the hands of the great calligrapher Liu Yuan of the previous dynasty. The painting recorded the grand occasion of the night banquet in the residence of the officials of the previous dynasty. The maids were beautiful, the wine and food were delicious and the guests were happy. The characters were lifelike and the brush strokes were all exquisite and the colours were bright. In the wall full of paintings, it did not seem outstanding but Shen Miao looked at it in a trance, as if she was attracted by the scene in the painting.
She stared at the painting of the night banquet for a long time and after a moment, she finally reached out her hand and slowly touched the painting. She touched it very carefully until she touched the main character of the night banquet, the lapel of the potbellied official.
The lapel was also very exquisite and even if it was a painting, when one touched it, one could feel the buttons of the lapel.
In fact, Shen Miao did feel it.
The slightly protruding feeling of her fingertips was different from the rough feeling of the paper. When Shen Miao pressed down, there was a slight 'ka' sound.
Accompanied by a slight sound, the wall in front of him that was full of paintings and calligraphy suddenly split in half. It was actually something that looked like a secret room. Looking from the outside, he could only see a long corridor that was lit up by torches, making it look exceptionally bright.
Shen Miao heaved a sigh of relief. Without hesitation, she lifted her skirt and walked in.
…
In the innermost part of the secret chamber was a coffin. The lid of the coffin had already been opened, revealing the contents inside. It was empty, and there were two people standing in front of the coffin. One was dressed in purple while the other was dressed in snow white. They were Xie Jing Xing and Gao Yang.
Xie Jing Xing held a bright yellow cloth bag in his hand. It was unknown what was in the bag but it looked heavy. Gao Yang smiled, "Prince Yu that old dog actually hid the thing here. If it was not for the Chen family's massacre last night, one fear that we would have to go through a lot of trouble to find this thing."
"So one only need to wait to pick up the scraps." Xie Jing Xing said, "Then look around to see if there is anything else."
Gao Yang answered and looked around at the same time, "Speaking of which, that old dog Yu did not even leave a guard here. This place must be very secretive and one fear that other than him, no one else would know about it."
"The Fu family are overly suspicious." Xie Jing Xing lazily said, "If it was you, would you not hide it?"
"Naturally I would hide it." Gao Yang gently waved his fan and smiled in an extremely cultured and refined manner but the words that came out of his mouth were very scary, "If I was that old dog Yu, if someone found this place, no matter who it was, even if they did not know the secret, as long as they found out about this secret chamber, one fear that they would kill to silence them. Only dead people can keep secrets. That old dog Yu did this very well. "
