Chapter 525: Finale (18)
Yes, many years ago, the first emperor took Concubine Li into that secret passage.
At that time, she was still young and often liked to follow her father to the court.
And at that time, the first emperor, all his daughters were raised outside.
Although there are many sons, the daughters of the first emperor, because they were all born to the concubines of their relatives, were not raised in the palace, and there were only boys in the palace.
Coincidentally, Concubine Li at that time was very cute and very likable. The first emperor paid a lot of love to this daughter of someone else's family.
He loved this child more than any other prince.
She could be allowed to climb on top of herself and pull his beard. This kind of love is something that other princes can't imagine.
Because of the doting of the first emperor and the love of the Taifu, Concubine Li could be said to be a little demon king in the mixed world at that time, and she was not afraid of heaven and earth. Even the other princes in the palace had to curry favor with her, trying to get her attention.
Such an environment led to the fact that Concubine Li did not need to report even if she entered the hall at that time, and she could enter anytime and anywhere.
Concubine Li vaguely remembered that it was the morning of his father's morning pilgrimage.
She followed her father outside the main hall. In the early days, she was naturally not allowed to go in to see. So she was thrown to the palace people by her father, and let her play with the palace people outside the main hall.
She was young at the time, looked down on anyone, and disdained to play with others. But for the palace people, she is more afraid.
Because she had been bullied by the palace people who didn't know her identity, this incident left a shadow on her young heart.
So, she was alone outside the main hall, running around.
The palace people chased her one by one, for fear that she would hurt herself. But she relied on her small body and drilled into all kinds of corners, and the palace people had no way to really chase her, and there was no way to really catch her.
She remembered that at that time, she was in a stone statue and found the secret passage.
There's a very strange stone there. She nudged without thinking.
Then the wall was opened. A dark path was revealed.
She was a little scared, but thinking that there were still people chasing her behind her, she went in regardless of it.
It was dark inside, but it grew brighter and wider as you walked.
She already has a bit of a boyish heart, and when she sees that this place is getting brighter and brighter, she is not afraid, and she simply walks faster and faster inside.
One road goes to the end, and the road becomes narrower and narrower,
"Is there anybody? Is there anyone in there?"
A familiar voice came from the exit, and the young Concubine Li couldn't help but respond as soon as she heard it,
"Uncle Emperor, I'm in it!"
"Lil?"
The voice there was full of doubt, but it quickly calmed down again,
"Why are you there? ”
"Uncle Emperor, what kind of place is this, I don't know how to get out. ”
At the exit, there was no light, and she was in a dilemma in the dark.
"How did you get in...... Is this such an easy place to get into?"
The voice of the first emperor became clearer and clearer, and along with his voice, there was also a beam of light.
"Uncle ....... Emperor"
Concubine Li stood there, watching the first emperor walk towards her with a lantern, getting closer and closer.
"Li'er, your father is very worried about you, how dare you enter such a place alone?"
At that time, the first emperor was not very old, but because he had a beard, he was often mistaken for a grandfather by Concubine Li.
The title of Uncle Emperor was also corrected by him for a long, long time before he succeeded in correcting it.
"Uncle Emperor, I thought this was a very fun place.....I'm sorry Uncle Emperor......"
At that time, she was anxious and scared, and she was scared when she thought that her father had been looking for her for a long time and had not found her. It seems that it is impossible for her to go back and be cleaned up by her mother.
"Okay, there will be no problem, Uncle Emperor is here. Let's go out first, it's too dangerous for you to stay here. ”
She still remembered that her imperial uncle, as soon as he came over at that time, grabbed her hand, and her imperial uncle's hand at that time was very big and thick for her when she was young, which made her feel very secure.
She took his hand, and together they walked slowly towards the place where she had just entered.
Because of the comfort of the first emperor, she was not as scared as she was just now.
She took him by the hand, and when the two of them reached the entrance together, she felt the sun again, and the fear in her heart dissipated at once.
"Remember, don't go in here alone in the future! it's a dangerous place, you don't have anyone to protect you there, someone will bully you. Remember, in the future, unless the emperor's uncle takes you here, don't come in at any other time. ”
"I remember, if I want to go here in the future, I will ask the emperor, uncle, to bring me in. ”
Later, the first emperor really took her through this dark passage, but she lost all her memories later.
"Here, there is definitely a secret way. ”
Concubine Li repeated this sentence again and again, and Xia Qing listened to it very inexplicably.
"Niangniang, I know, there is a secret passage here. But we have to find it first, otherwise it's useless......."
Xia Qing began to touch the surrounding walls and stone statues.
Listening to what Concubine Li just described, she pushed a strange stone at that time, and then successfully entered the secret passage.
So, if Concubine Li's memory is no problem, the way to enter that secret passage is to find a strange stone and push it.
"Mother, let's start looking, we can find the stone now before we can go in!"
Xia Qing tilted her head sideways and called Concubine Li, who was still trying to remember.
She thought it would be better to come over and start looking for it now.
"Okay, let's find ....."
Concubine Li doesn't care so much, she can't remember it anyway, so it's better to just look for it together.
"You guys, who are there to watch the excitement, come and help me find something. ”
Concubine Li looked at the black-clothed man who was watching them there, "Could it be that Cheng Qing ordered you to come and see us lively, isn't it here to help us?"
Silence, endless silence.
“…….”
"Mother, I suspect they're deaf, really. ”
Xia Qing still didn't give up, and seriously touched the raised stones on the side,
"You see, they haven't answered a word since we first started chatting. It must not be heard...... We'll look for it ourselves, and they'll take care of it. ”
One stone after another, there were so many that Xia Qing was dazzled.
But there is no piece that can be pushed forward as Concubine Li said.
"No, it's too hard for the two of us to find this thing..... maybe we'll end up there......"
It's not that she doesn't give face, it's that she really can't remember the specific location of the stone.
Her head seemed to have been lowered by someone, and some important memories were all gone.
", I found it!"
