~~~~~~~

This is a small, long and narrow space like a coffin.

The left and right sides were crushed by broken boards, making it impossible to move.

There is some residual space in the front and rear, and the space in the rear, towards the feet of the two people, is larger.

But at this time, the space above their heads was too narrow, and it was impossible for the two of them to turn around. This completely exceeded the limit of human flexibility.

Even those Russian beauties who played software in later generations would never be able to do it.

"Queen, let's rest for a while. I'll turn over and you lie on top of me. Let's dig forward. The space here is too small. Stopping here is definitely not an option."

It's really too cold.

Even with Li Yuanqing's willpower, it became a little unbearable.

Although he still restrained himself and kept a distance from Queen Zhang's soft and delicate body, it was just his face and body that could not stop leaning towards her, and even wanted to wrap her up and feel the heat of her body.

Empress Zhang was in the same situation at this time. Due to the circumstances, the two of them had no other choice.

She whispered: "General Li, I, I listen to you."

Her voice was so weak that she didn't even bother to call herself 'I'.

A compromise was reached so smoothly, and Li Yuanqing breathed a sigh of relief. This little girl who was bound by rules and regulations was not too stubborn because of her age.

After a brief rest, Li Yuanqing asked Queen Zhang to crawl to the side first. He carefully turned over and lay on the ground, then asked Queen Zhang to climb on his back and crawled forward carefully.

With such terrain and a person on your back, you can imagine how difficult it is.

Fortunately, the gap in front was not far, only about one meter, and Li Yuanqing could reach it soon.

In my memory, the space under the high platform is not too small, they are just a little bit on the side, and there should be a big gap in the middle.

Of course, this is only in theory.

But Li Yuanqing also understood deeply that the main hall had collapsed. According to the life-saving equipment at this time, even if the little emperor Apocalypse tried hard to save people, he would never be able to dig here in just a few days.

If you want to survive, you can only find a bigger space and wait for death, which is the only way to die.

There was debris in front of him and there was no light. Li Yuanqing could only rely on his senses to take out the dagger from his boots and carefully clear the obstacles in front of him.

There is a hidden compartment in Li Yuanqing's boots, with a dagger on each side. This is his habit and his last guarantee. When he entered the palace, the guards did not find it.

Empress Zhang also felt Li Yuanqing's difficulty and whispered: "General Li, let me help you light the flint."

"Don't. The space is too small. You should save some strength." Li Yuanqing hurriedly rejected Queen Zhang's proposal.

Lighting the flint requires violent collision, which requires a lot of strength, and the effect is not good. If Queen Zhang exhausts her strength, it will be a disaster.

Fortunately, they just had a banquet tonight, and both of them have food in their stomachs. Only with food can they have energy and can sustain themselves for the time being.

Not long after, Li Yuanqing finally cleared a hole and tested it with his hands. It seemed that it could allow one person to pass through.

There was no wind inside, but the air was much fresher, and breathing felt very comfortable, although it was mixed with an indescribable smell of smoke and fire.

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but be overjoyed. He quickly took out the flint and polished the sparks to check.

As far as the eye can see, the space is not small, about a dozen square meters. The top has not collapsed, and the body can be half-erected, but the Martian is too small and cannot be seen further inside.

Li Yuanqing whispered to Queen Zhang: "We two can't get through. I'll crawl over first to check, and you can crawl over later."

With that said, Li Yuanqing carefully placed Queen Zhang in the gap next to her.

Queen Zhang's little hand suddenly grabbed the hem of Li Yuanqing's waist and said, "You----"

She paused and said hurriedly: "You, please be careful."

Li Yuanqing whispered "Hmm" and crawled forward for half a step, but felt that Queen Zhang's delicate body was trembling. He turned around and whispered: "Don't be afraid. I will pull you over right away."

"Um."

Hearing Li Yuanqing's words, it was like taking a reassurance. Empress Zhang felt a little better, but her delicate body was still trembling slightly.

But at this time, Li Yuanqing couldn't care too much and climbed into the cave entrance carefully.

There was no light, the hole was unevenly processed, and there were a lot of invisible wood chips. Fortunately, it was winter and Li Yuanqing was wearing a cotton-padded jacket, so the damage was not serious.

Soon, Li Yuanqing carefully arrived at the entrance of the cave. The space suddenly opened up and his breathing became easier.

I polished the sparks and looked around. There were at least a dozen square meters around. Because the wooden pillars nearby supported it, it did not collapse.

After all, it is of royal quality.

Even though they are old, these wooden pillars and timbers are still very strong.

However, these things may not last long, but at this time, if there is this space to relax, Li Yuanqing will not have time to worry so much. If he can die a second later, he will earn an extra second.

"Queen, come here. It's very nice here." Li Yuanqing hurried to the entrance of the cave and stretched out his hand to Queen Zhang.

Empress Zhang had already crawled to the entrance of the cave. She really couldn't bear the darkness, so she heard Li Yuanqing's call and climbed over carefully.

Li Yuanqing smoothly held her little hand and carefully helped her climb here.

But just when her whole body was about to come over, she suddenly let out a sweet cry.

Li Yuanqing hurriedly asked: "What's wrong?"

Queen Zhang whispered: "My hand, my hand was pricked by a thorn."

"Come here first and then talk."

Li Yuanqing carefully pulled her over, and they both sat down. Li Yuanqing whispered: "That place?"

Queen Zhang said hurriedly: "This finger."

At this time, Li Yuanqing's eyes had adapted to the boundless darkness. He groped with his hands and quickly found the crux of the problem.

It's a wooden thorn about half an inch long.

Li Yuanqing whispered: "I will help you pull it out, please bear with it. If the wound becomes infected, it will be very troublesome."

Queen Zhang hurriedly said "hmm" softly.

But before Queen Zhang could react, Li Yuanqing quickly pulled out the wooden thorn and threw it into the hole.

Empress Zhang cried out tenderly, tears of pain flowed out, "You~~. The wound is bleeding."

Li Yuanqing held her in his arms, opened his mouth and sucked her injured finger hard.

In an instant, Queen Zhang's body temperature soared again, and she whispered: "You~~, you are brave."

Li Yuanqing whispered: "If you want to kill me, you have to wait until you get out alive. If the emperor hadn't treated me so badly, would I have come back to save you?"

"you……"

Queen Zhang was speechless for a moment.

Indeed, Li Yuanqing was able to escape at that time. If he had not returned, she might have been burned to ashes in the fire of the hall. How could she have survived until now?

Thinking of the appearance of people being burned to ashes, Queen Zhang suddenly fell into silence.

Li Yuanqing didn't want to hit her anymore and whispered: "Squat down and don't sit on the ground. The ground is too cold, even the gods can't stand it. I'll go take a look around."

Empress Zhang hurriedly whispered "Hmm", "You, don't go far..." like a wounded little animal.

Although Li Yuanqing couldn't see her expression, he could feel her gaze. He sighed slightly and said, "Don't worry. You are the master and I am the slave. How can a slave abandon his master?"

But after saying that, Li Yuanqing regretted it. Why should he compete with a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl?

Empress Zhang burst into tears of grievance. She also felt her uselessness, but...

In the darkness, suddenly a big hand gently rubbed her cheek, "Stop crying. I apologize to you."

Queen Zhang reacted instantly, he, he actually touched her face...

But just when she was about to say something, she heard Li Yuanqing's footsteps walking away. She could no longer say any words of rebuke, and hurriedly whispered: "You, be careful."

"I know." Li Yuanqing's response came from afar.

Li Yuanqing carefully explored along the wooden pillars on the edge. Soon, he found the corner and turned back.

There was nothing wrong with the left side, about twenty square meters, but the right side had collapsed and could not be detected, so Li Yuanqing had to go back carefully.

Just after taking a few steps, Li Yuanqing suddenly kicked something hard under his feet.

Li Yuanqing hurriedly leaned down to investigate and fumbled with his hands. For a moment, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. This should be a wooden cover with a diameter of about 1.5 meters.

This shows that there is probably a passage underneath.

For places like the Royal Palace, basically every palace has cellars, secret rooms, etc., which are used for some special purposes.

More than 200 years have passed since the Ming Dynasty Palace, so how could there be no place like this?

The wooden lid was very heavy. It took a lot of effort for Li Yuanqing to lift the lid. Suddenly, a faint cold wind blew in his face from underneath.

It is the living wind.

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but be overjoyed.
