Chapter 510: True and False County Lord Four
Yi Ziyao frowned, [Why is it so weird?]
[Well, listening to the people in the palace, the eight kings felt that Qin Muxue was very much like his wife, and because his wife died of physical exhaustion after giving birth to her, it was rare to see her after Qin Muxue was eight years old.
As for Qin Muhan, he loves this young sister very much, but he has been stationed at the border for six years in military affairs, and he only exchanges letters with Qin Muxue every year. 】
Zi Yao nodded, [There is weirdness everywhere, so this Ling'er or the owner of the note, they have already started the layout at least six years ago, so painstaking scheduling and arrangement, just to replace Qin Muxue's identity?
This reason is too far-fetched and can't be explained, there must be a secret hidden in it that we don't know, maybe this secret is hidden in the original owner or Ling'er. 】
Put away your mind and press the system map on your arm, a lot of gray two dots are flashing in the buildings everywhere, and there is no red logo of the heroine, Zi Yao raised her eyebrows, and this person is not in the house?
Searching the courtyard where the eighth princess lived, Zi Yao fell on the eaves like fallen leaves, only the main house had some candlelight flickering, leaning over to probe and found no patrol guards and secret guards, and the defense of the entire Eight Princes Mansion was almost negligible.
Zi Yao turned over and hung upside down on the eaves, licked the broken window lattice paper and looked indoors, a twenty-six or seventeen-year-old woman sat in front of the bronze mirror, combing her hair while looking at the mirror in a daze, a housekeeper walked in, leaned over and whispered a few words in her ear.
"Princess Niangniang, Shunying has come over, have you seen you? ”
The woman withdrew her gaze from the bronze mirror and regained her usual gentle expression, "Let him in! ”
The old woman bowed and said yes, exited the room, and the woman got up and draped a large hat on Mu Shi's body, opened the bead curtain and walked to the Arhat bed behind the charcoal cage and sat down.
Soon there was a young man outside the door, this person was white-faced and skinny, not like a man but more like a woman, after entering the door, he closed the door casually, and stood straight on the side of the Eight Kings' Mansion without salutation.
"Pass on the master's life!"
The eighth princess got up and knelt on one knee, this action made Zi Yao even more surprised, after all, it was the princess who actually gave a salute to a herald, which showed that the people behind her were feared capital.
"Ming Jun did everything he could to help him gain the trust of the Eight Kings, and temporarily blocked his meeting with Nangong Yan, so as not to send someone to find Xue. ”
After speaking, the man known as Shunying turned sideways and raised his arm weakly, "Princess, forgive me, if there is no doubt about Shunying, I will retire!"
The eighth princess nodded slightly, and the man turned to leave.
After a long time, the eighth princess pinched the edge of the wooden table of the Luohan bed with her fingers, her knuckles were already a little white, and when she saw Shunying walking away, she staggered to the side of the bed and stood up, returned to the inner room and sat in front of the dresser, looking at herself in the bronze mirror.
Raising his hand and touching his cheek, his appearance was very dignified and beautiful, but at this time, his facial expression was a little distorted through the bronze mirror.
"Hehe, what kind of love do you want to chase too much? It's just a chess piece in his hand! After so many years, it's time to wake up, and if you don't come to your senses, you will bring shame on yourself. ”
Tears overflowed unconsciously from the corners of her eyes, and just now the lady in charge walked in with the curtain, glanced at the eighth princess, and sighed.
We have endured it for more than ten years, and what do we get every time we think about it? You are no longer young, it is better to have a round house with the prince and have an heir of your own to live up to the rest of your life. ”
"Hehe, take care of Tiannian, Mother Liu, he asked me to protect that filthy woman, it is okay to appease the Eight Kings, and it is okay to stop Nangong Yan, but why can't I go to Mu Xue?
I'm already sorry for my sister and these children, why don't you let me make up for it, does he really want to see all my relatives die to be happy?"
Mother Liu cautiously closed the window and twisted a warm veil for the eighth princess, Xu was often so resentful and even became a habit, so she quickly returned to her original indifferent appearance, wiped her face and fell down on the bed to rest.
The housekeeper's mother-in-law, Mother Liu, shook her head and walked out of the room, gently blocked the curtain, and beckoned several maids to come over.
The princess instructed that there was no need to go to the room to keep vigil tonight, and the third watch could send a pot of warm tea, and be careful of errands. ”
"Follow Liu's mother's teachings. ”
A few little maids hurriedly bent their knees and said yes, it seems that the identity of this Liu Ma is not low, Zi Yao turned over with a strong waist and returned to the eaves from the new, where there were many people and did not stop and dodged and jumped in the direction of the study.
There are guards guarding here, it seems that this is the place where this palace is more important, Zi Yao bypassed the main door, knocked on the window from the second floor on the back and jumped into the study, although the light was extremely dim, relying on his divine sense, he could still clearly understand how the room was furnished.
Looking up, the entire second floor is full of books, it seems that this is the place where the Eight Kings hide books, and walk downstairs along the passage, leaning on the west side is a bookcase, next to which there is a huge porcelain jar used to hold various scroll paintings.
The north wall of the front is a bogu shelf, with many small ornaments, the brightness of the moonlight is very limited, but on the right side there is a pair of symmetrical jade cabbages that are very interesting, and one of them is a brown dragonfly that seems to be translucent.
Zi Yao raised her eyebrows, perhaps because of the smoothness caused by too many strokes, so the brightness of the refracted moonlight was different, and she reached out to touch the dragonfly's body when she thought of this.
Twisting left and right and pressing down gently, there was a soft sound of 'pop~', and the bookshelves on the north wall instantly separated left and right, and a small secret room appeared, which was more than one meter lower than the terrain of the study, and Zi Yao walked over.
Each step was stepped on extremely carefully to prevent the mechanism from being touched, and when he went down to the nine steps, he really came to the inside of this secret room, there was no window here, so he didn't have to worry about the guards outside finding out, so Zi Yao took out a night pearl and observed it carefully.
The whole chamber was furnished only with a table and a chair, and the table was extremely long, and it was filled with many books and scrolls, and there was no order, but the edges of the books and the folds of the ribbons on the scrolls could be judged, and they were often opened and viewed.
Zi Yao memorized the order, and began to read from the first book, with the "Atlas of the Nine Regions of the Northern Wei Dynasty" written on the cover in a small seal, and after a quick flip through it, Zi Yao found that this was an extremely detailed topographical introduction.
The topography, landforms, mountains, rivers, products, minerals, and ethnic distribution of the Northern Wei Kingdom were all recorded in detail, and then a book of "Geographical Records of the Southern Yi Kingdom" was picked up, which was adjacent to the southern boundary of the Northern Wei Kingdom.
Ziyao read the rest of the books one by one, all of them are geographical introductions to the surrounding countries, and they are all extremely detailed handmade manuscripts.
