I am in the horror game, scrambling to steal the male lead's halo

Chapter 365 You are a guest, please take a seat

Behind the curtain, it was much larger than they had imagined, like a standard one-bedroom apartment.

Gu Chaoxi glanced to the right and could see a bed behind the beaded curtain.

And the place they were entering now was the living room.

Although the surrounding rock walls are still not very smooth, they have been modified to be relatively smooth.

There were several candlesticks hanging on the rock wall, lighting up the entire room.

There was a round table in the middle of the room, surrounded by four stools.

The person called the princess was sitting on a chair facing the curtain. She looked up at the two people who walked in from the curtain.

She didn't seem to worry at all that Gu Chaoxi and Pei Yan were bad people. She even smiled at them and raised her glass when she saw them.

"You are a guest, please take a seat."

She raised her chin and gestured to another empty chair.

Gu Chaoxi tightened his grip, still holding the dagger to his chest.

But seeing that the princess didn't move, he slowly lowered his hand from in front of him.

She turned her head to glance at Pei Yan, then walked forward with him, not forgetting to look around.

In this living room, apart from the table and chairs in the middle, there are some toiletries leaning against the stone wall.

There was a large wooden basin on the wooden shelf, and a towel was hung on the horizontal railing above.

If you go to the side, you can see a wooden wardrobe, which is about two meters long. I guess there are a lot of things placed in it.

On one side near the corner, there is a four-page screen. You can easily guess what is inside.

His eyes then shifted to the back of the princess, where there was a soft couch against the wall. It looked like a place for resting, and it was covered with an animal skin.

The beaded curtain obscured some of the scene in the bedroom, but not too much.

Through the gap in the bead curtain, one can clearly see the bed placed against the wall, and the quilt on it is a little messy.

It looked like someone had been lying on the bed for a short while and then got out of it, so there was no time to clean up.

In addition, there are tall candlesticks placed at the head and foot of the bed.

Looking down, I saw a huge tiger skin spread on the ground, which looked soft just by looking at it.

Judging from these configurations, the princess' life here is quite good.

But then again, what does burial objects mean?

The two men sat down on the chairs, still looking at the princess opposite them with some caution.

She seemed unaware of the hostility between the two and a slight smile appeared on her face.

"You two have some tea."

She took two clean cups from the tray in the middle and placed them on the table, then poured some tea and placed them in front of the two of them.

Gu Chaoxi lowered his eyes and took a look, stroking it gently with his fingers, but did not touch the teacup.

"When did you discover us?"

"Hmm? I knew it from the moment you showed up." The princess opposite smiled and took a small sip from the cup.

These words made the two of them look at each other, obviously a little unconvinced.

"Since you discovered it so early, why didn't you send someone to capture us? Maybe we are a threat to you."

Pei Yan spoke from the side, trying to see some unusual emotions on the princess's face.

But no, the person on the other side was quite calm, and nothing seemed to surprise her.

The atmosphere fell into silence for a moment.

Pei Yan lowered his head to glance at the teacup in front of him, slowly reached out to pick it up, and just gently wiped the rim of the cup with the tip of his thumb, but did not drink it.

The princess did not expect the two to put aside their grudges and drink tea. After all, the other party came with a purpose, so it was normal for them to be afraid that she might do something.

Gu Chaoxi simply moved the cup in front of him forward, and said seriously: "Your Highness, we are here just to find out the secret of the Ancient Anning Temple."

"The secret of the ancient An Ning Temple, what secrets could there be?"

As she spoke, she suddenly laughed, but tears rolled down her eyes.

"If the princess can't help us, we won't bother anymore. We need to go find our friends."

After Gu Chaoxi finished speaking, he was about to stand up, but the person opposite him glanced over.

"I can tell you why I'm here."

Hearing this, she sat up straight again and waited for the princess to continue.

The princess, actually, is not really a princess.

She was not born to the queen, nor to any of the concubines.

Her biological mother was just an ordinary embroiderer favored by the emperor when he went out of the palace on a private visit.

After the embroiderer became pregnant, the emperor brought her to the palace to prepare for a reward. However, there was some turmoil on the border at that time, and the emperor was busy dealing with government affairs, so he had no time to take care of these things.

Later, on the day the embroiderer gave birth to the child, the weather was clear and a great victory was achieved at the border.

So, everyone said that the arrival of the little princess brought hope, so the emperor especially doted on her and made her a concubine.

But the good times didn't last long.

After all, the embroiderer was just a woman from an ordinary family, but she was so favored in the harem that she naturally aroused the jealousy of many people.

Even many people in the court began to advise the emperor not to be obsessed with love.

The emperor was forced into a corner and had to start being indifferent to the embroiderer and focus all his attention on government affairs.

But many people are not satisfied. After all, the concubines in the harem are basically the family members of various court officials.

So, someone devised a plan and one winter month, had the embroiderer die in her own bedroom.

The emperor was furious and ordered a thorough investigation.

But the final result was directed at the empress of the time, which made it impossible for the emperor to order severe punishment.

Therefore, the queen was only confined to her house for two months as a warning to others. As for the other concubines who participated in the incident, they were also punished by being confined to their houses for three months and were required to copy scriptures a hundred times.

And she, the daughter of the embroiderer, only got the jewelry worth millions of gold to comfort the pain of losing her mother.

From then on, the little princess began to dislike the emperor.

If the emperor and the embroiderer had not developed feelings for each other, if he was not the emperor, perhaps she would not have lost her mother and might have had a happy family.

But these were all delusions for the princess.

Originally, she thought it didn't matter if she grew up alone, but then one day, the emperor called her over and told her that he wanted to marry her off.

It is said that marriages are decided by parents and matchmakers. She is just a girl, so naturally she has no right to resist.

Moreover, the princess's marriage has always been just to restrain the court, and she knows it well.

However, the princess waited and waited, but never received the so-called marriage contract. Instead, she was sent to the basement of the ancient Anning Temple by the emperor.

The emperor said that the marriage had been arranged with another candidate, and her task was to pray for the dynasty every day in this underground palace and dispel the haze surrounding the dynasty.

This is simply nonsense, but the current emperor believes in ghosts and gods the most.
