Chapter 102 - 101 Prisoner
The two corpses were also hidden by Tie Dan in the secret passage. With the door panel blocking them, it should temporarily conceal them. Tie Dan also memorized the location of the room, planning to dismantle the door and take it with him when he leaves.
So the two of them leisurely wandered around the Imperial Music Bureau, having already bypassed the most heavily guarded areas by taking the secret passages. Now, disguised as Inner Court Eunuchs and Imperial Guards, they could move freely. If someone had dared to stop them outside, it would have been suicidal.
At this time and place, there were indeed some reckless people. Seeing the little eunuch’s handsome face and the Imperial Guard’s imposing stature, they approached them voluntarily, inviting them to join a Joyful. They were only deterred after Tie Dan swung the knife sheath and broke several bones.
This allowed the two to cross the Imperial Music Bureau unimpeded, witnessing the decadent and hedonistic scenes on the stages and banquet tables, where men and women reveled in one final orgy before the big battle.
These situations were really nothing special. People, when naked, are all the same. For someone like Tie Dan, who grew up on battlefields and had seen all forms of life and death, it wasn’t surprising.
Zhen Baiyu, who had been trained in harem tactics since childhood, understood it too. Moreover, having dealt with a nosebleed and regained composure, she knew they had to save her mother first. As for other matters... they could be discussed later.
In short, the dungeon of the Imperial Music Bureau was originally for the royals. Frankly, it was more about punishment and intimidation, as only a few have such extreme tastes. Most people couldn’t accept it, and those people had long fled across the Gen River, leaving no time to take these toys. There were no guards, and no one came to this grotesque place for pleasure.
Thus, the two smoothly reached the deepest part of the Imperial Music Bureau, hidden beneath the secret door of the wine cellar’s dungeon.
They originally thought that with Baiyu’s mother’s distinctive features, she would be easy to find. But upon reaching the lower level of the Imperial Music Bureau, they were truly astonished.
"Which one is your mother?"
