Chapter 176: In front of Le Shou Tang
Duanmu Xu waited, he wanted to see how this real lady would answer. Is it to help yourself, or to refuse under the pretext.
After thinking about it, Madam Zhen said, "If Bai Gongzi wants to enter the palace, there must be something important. It's just that if you want to enter the palace at the moment, I'm afraid you have to be much more cautious than usual. Don't hide it from Bai Gongzi, if you want to enter the palace, we still have a little way, if Bai Gongzi needs it, just say it. "This Bai Xu wants to enter the palace, no matter what he wants to do, it must not be what the Shi family likes, Mrs. Zhen thought, it is better to help.
Duanmu Xu listened to what Mrs. Zhen said, and felt that this Mrs. Zhen was really not simple. As soon as they met, she revealed all the things she had arranged in the palace, whether it was her trust in herself or her own vision, maybe both.
"Then Bai thanked Mrs. here. Duanmu Xu arched his hand and said.
"A little thing, Bai Gongzi doesn't have to take it to heart. I wonder when Bai Gongzi plans to enter the palace?" asked Madam Zhen.
"The sooner the better. Duanmu Xu was anxious to enter the palace, for fear of long nights and dreams.
Madam Zhen thought for a moment, "It may be tomorrow night at the earliest." At that time, he may have to wronged Bai Gongzi, and he can't just go in. ”
Duanmu Xu asked, "Then I'll come here again tomorrow? As for any grievances, Duanmu Xu didn't take it to heart at all.
Madame Zhen replied, "The palace is a forbidden place, so naturally there is no map. However, some approximate locations can be prepared for Bai Gongzi. ”
Duanmu Xu said, "Then there is Mrs. Lao." ”
From the Jiuyun Gambling House to this small courtyard, Duanmu Xu did not meet Zhuge Tong, but he met Mrs. Zhen, and he also had a doorway to enter the palace, which was a worthwhile trip.
After Duanmu Xu left, Jian Xiaowan asked, "Madam, is it worth it that our eyeliner in the palace is very likely to be exposed?"
The eyeliner in the palace, it took a long time to bury, and it took a lot of thought and energy to gain a firm foothold in the palace, and at this time, it was used because of this white order, Jian Xiaowan felt a little hasty.
"Your lives are more important than anything else. I think this person is very human, in the face of the monstrous power of the Shi family today, he still dares to make a move, and his heart is not arrogant or impatient, I like it very much. As for him entering the palace, he must have something important, and if he can help him, it can be regarded as a good relationship for us. Madame Zhen said.
She looked at the hanging in front of the hall, "Xiao Shao Jiuyun, there is Feng Laiyi, hit the stone and throw the stone, the beasts lead the dance", there is Yi Xuan destroyed early, now Fenglai Pavilion and Bairate Lou are no longer guaranteed, only a Jiu Xuan gambling house remains, a layout, after being targeted by the Shi family, was beaten to pieces. At this time, maybe taking a step of idle chess can be regarded as leaving a back hand.
Nothing happened overnight.
Duanmu Xu came to the small courtyard where Mrs. Zhen was early.
Mrs. Zhen was not there, but she saw Jian Xiaowan.
From Jian Xiaowan's hand, Duanmu Xu got a copy of the general layout of the palace, which was marked with Qianqing Palace and Yonghe Palace, but some others were not marked. He looked for it, but he didn't see where Le Shou Tang was. However, the direction that Zhao Luojia mentioned before leaving, he carefully scrutinized it on the drawing and roughly guessed its location. In this way, after entering the palace, you will not be blinded everywhere.
After making these preparations, Duanmu Xu also had to change into clothes, which were worn by the people who delivered leafy vegetables to the palace. Most of the fresh vegetables used in the palace every day are delivered from Yuquan Farm. And Duanmuxu's identity is one of the people who deliver food.
But such a person can't enter the palace. Of course, this is only the first step.
After some preparations, after nightfall, Duanmu Xu blended in with the vegetable farmers who delivered vegetables early. Escorting the carriage, along the official road of Yuquan Farm to the palace, the group came to the Chongtianmen in the north of the palace in the night, maybe it was a perennial food delivery, or they were already familiar with it, and the inspection of these guards was not strict. And Duanmu Xu, the person who was born, didn't seem to pay attention, after all, Duanmu Xu kept his head down, and he was not conspicuous in the night.
They continued to drive the wagon inside, and there was no noise, only the sound of the wheels on the stone slabs, and the sound of horses' hooves.
Walking through the corridors between the high walls, I finally came to the storage room of the Imperial Dining Room.
When the leading vegetable farmer went to handle the handover, someone walked past Duanmuxu and said softly, "Follow me." ”
Duanmu Xu understood and followed.
After turning into a dark room, the man handed over a suit of clothes, "Change into clothes, this is a waist card." Be sure to come back here before dawn. ”
Duanmu Xu changed his clothes in three or two clicks, turned into an attendant, and then flashed out, followed the Yongdao, and walked towards the estimated Le Shou Tang.
At night, the palace also seems quiet. Only the occasional patrolling Flying Feather Guard, or some of the attendants, were moving around.
Someone even saw Duanmuxu and asked, Duanmuxu hummed a few times, and it can be regarded as coping with the past. The defense of this palace does not seem to be particularly strong. Maybe it's because the emperor is not there, the queen is not there, and even a few concubines are not there.
Just passing through the corridors, Duanmu Xu became a little impatient.
After all, it was the first time he was going to meet that person.
It turned out that Uncle Huangfu didn't mention it, and he didn't ask, he always thought that she had left with her in the fire that year. I never thought that she was always in this palace.
Duanmu Xu didn't know how to face her. He just wanted to come and have a look.
Maybe after reading it, you will have the answer.
After looking at the magnificent palaces in front of him, and gradually coming to the Le Shou Hall in this corner, Duanmu Xu's heart suddenly tightened. Those who live in the palace do not necessarily enjoy the glory and wealth.
The deserted Le Shou Tang here is much shabby compared to those palaces after all. Duanmu Xu followed the corridor and soon came to the gate of the courtyard.
He looked at it a little, and realized that this place was really remote, and the patrolling Flying Feather Guard was still a little far from here, and as soon as he used his feet, the person flew over the courtyard wall.
After entering the small courtyard, Zhao Luojia once mentioned that there were palace maids to serve here, but she lived in a more remote side room, and in the main room, she must be the one who lived.
Duanmu Xu stood in the courtyard, his eyes falling on the main room. The full moon in the sky broke free from the obscured clouds, and the clear light shone right on the screen window.
The moon is a full moon, but what about people?
Duanmu Xu's mood became more and more difficult to calm down. She's in there.
Duanmu Xu thought, what did he say? Although he had been imagining what to say and what to ask when they met, he thought a lot.
But at this time, Duanmu Xu stood in this courtyard, letting the moonlight fall on his body, casting a long shadow on the ground, but he couldn't move.
Duanmu Xu just stood like this, his body didn't move, but the shadow gradually changed.
Suddenly, the main room suddenly lit up, and it must have been lit.
Then there was the sound of squirming, perhaps the sound of getting up.
Duanmu Xu's mood was even more impatient, but he couldn't exert force under his feet. This is like a monk in the lower realm, like a soldier who has fought on the battlefield.
The more anxious I was, the more I didn't dare to move.
After a while in the main room, a soft chanting sounded. Word by word, read very steadily, it should be recited many, many times.
The moon in the sky, the lamp in this house, the reflection outside this house, the sound of prayers in this house.
Duanmu Xu listened like this, and those words fell into his ears one by one, and his originally impatient mood gradually calmed down. I see, it's good.
But, suddenly, the chanting stopped, and a series of coughing sounds were heard.
Duanmu Xu walked a few steps and came to the wooden door of the main house, Xu was concerned just now, the footsteps were a little heavy, and a voice came from inside, "Who?"
Duanmu Xu really didn't know how to answer.
He replied, "Me." ”
Who knew who he was, but there was the sound of hurried footsteps in the room, and the wooden door opened at once.
With the moonlight in the sky, Duanmu Xu saw the person who opened the door clearly.
This is the person he has been thinking about.
Grace and luxury are not in those clothes, not even in those looks, but in the look and eyes. At this time, Duanmu Xu felt that this was a graceful and luxurious person.
Duanmu Xu felt that the other party's gaze was more powerful than the moonlight in the sky, and he was looking at himself from head to toe, and then looked and looked again and again from foot to head, and finally stopped on his face.
"...... you" Chu Baiwei had too many things to ask, but he could only say one word of you.
"Luo Jia asked me to come. Duanmu Xu finally calmed down and replied carefully.
"Come on in. Chu Baiwei said softly.
Duanmu Xu entered the main room, and after Chu Baiwei closed the door, he asked softly, "What's your name?"
This can stump Duanmu Xu. Whether to tell her Bai Xu, or Duanmu Xu. After all, he had some doubts before. "Luo Jia said, I am her twin brother. ”
Chu Baiwei didn't speak, but stared at Duanmu Xu fixedly. The chanting of the scriptures kept praying, as today from the wishes of people, really let her see.
Duanmu Xu took out the token left by Zhao Luojia from his arms, which was a jade pendant with the word "Luojia", and handed it over.
Chu Baiwei took the jade pendant and didn't look at it, but put it aside directly. "How did you get in?" Sunset Jia came to see herself, told her that Zhao Tianyin told her some truth, and told her that she had an older brother. Chu Baiwei thought that something must have happened, but he never thought that the person he was thinking about had returned.
"Zhao Tianyin went to Daishan, and now that the palace is not strictly guarded, I came in. Luo Jia followed him to Daishan, and we felt that the prince might rebel. Duanmu Xu replied.
Chu Baiwei's expression suddenly became worried. She had experienced the usurpation of the throne and knew how cruel and bloody it was. "How's that okay? You get out of here, don't stay here. She stood up, trying to push Duanmu out of the way.
"How many questions do I have to ask?" Duanmu Xu naturally wouldn't leave.
Chu Baiwei stopped and responded, "Oh." "I was a little panicked just now.
"Uncle Huangfu said, I am the son of Duanmu Zhengyi, and he named me Duanmu Xu. Luo Jia said, I am her twin brother. Who the hell am I?" Duanmu Xu asked very directly, but this question had been haunting his mind since he woke up in Huashan.
"Uncle Huangfu, Huangfu Jing?" Chu Baiwei did not answer, but asked this question instead.
"Yes. ”
If it weren't for him, Shoichi wouldn't have been so obsessed with that formation. "Chu Baiwei has quite an opinion about Huangfu Jing. "Forget it. Since he's in the back, I think he can give you advice as well. But you have to be careful, he can do anything for the sake of cultivating the Tao. Of course, you are the son of Zhengyi, and you are also the elder brother of Luojia. ”
Duanmu Xu listened, so why is Luo Jia still called Zhao Tianyin's father.
As if seeing Duanmu Xu's doubts, Chu Baiwei said, "I made a mistake back then, but I thought that I could let you live, so I lied that you were Zhao Tianyin's. Later, if necessary, you can tell Luojia. Huangfu Jing gave you a name, Duanmu Xu? Preface, very good. ”
"To outsiders, my name is Bai Xu. Duanmu Xu said. Thinking about the original Huangfu Jing giving himself the surname Bai, did he also take into account Chu Baiwei's white characters. However, thinking about it at this time, Uncle Huangfu had concealed himself for so long and didn't tell him that she was still alive, and he felt very uncomfortable. Whatever the reason, he felt uncomfortable.
