Chapter Fifty-Four: The People of the Huanyi Palace
Li Mu'er walked at the end, shivering with cold. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info The Empress Dowager's palace is full of charcoal, and the wind outside is very strong, Li Mu'er can't help but pull the warm ears down a little more.
Warm ears and heart, Zhu Youzhi must know that there are people laughing at her in the sixth bureau and one division, so she thought of letting Guo Shangyi and Cui Gongzheng investigate with her, so that she can correct her name and teach them to be impressed. When she thought of this just now, she felt very warm in her heart.
Wait, ear warmer?
Li Mu'er paused and turned back. Almost everyone in the palace warms their ears, not to mention the palace masters. She remembered what she had just seen in Renshou Palace - the warm ears that the Queen Mother put aside, the design of the ears was several layers thicker than hers, and the fluffy one was so big, it was extremely comfortable and warm at first glance.
Li Mu'er waited until Guo Shangyi and Cui Gongzheng were far away, and finally couldn't help it, and went back to ask the Queen Mother to reward her warm ears.
Mama Sun was a little dissatisfied with her eagerness to ask for credit, and said sarcastically: "What? Bachelor of Woman, you haven't found out yet, and you're in a hurry to ask for a reward? ”
The people below also had disdain in their eyes, but the Queen Mother deliberately got up and said, "Forget it, just reward her." That day, the queen also said that she liked it, and she asked the Shangfu Bureau to do a few more. I didn't expect the Queen Mother to be really willing, it seems that she really hopes that Li Muer can help her "exorcise ghosts" or something.
Then Li Mu'er, let's go find this "ghost".
She went around the Shangfu Bureau first, but she didn't find it.
She was not discouraged, and there was even a calmness in her expression that she had already anticipated. Then he turned around and went to the Huanyi Bureau.
The Huanyi Bureau is extremely far away, Li Muer has been walking for a long time, and the more she goes, the more uneasy she feels. When she came out of the Queen Mother's Palace, she had already thought that if she could really catch the "ghost", why not gain fame and fortune for her? But at this moment, the initial passion was gone, and she began to hesitate: if things were really as she expected, should she be as presumptuous as she did when she first entered the palace?
Thinking about it, his footsteps have stepped into the door of the Huanyi Bureau.
The weather is cold, the smell of soaphorn is heavy, and Li Muer's first feeling is cold and cold.
The Huanyi Bureau was originally one of the twenty-four yamen, which was filled by the palace people of the Internal Affairs Office, and the place was not in the imperial city, but far west of Deshengmen. But later, probably for the convenience of washing the master's clothes, the pulp room in the palace gradually replaced the Huanyi Bureau, and it was no longer a prestigious official place, but became a laundry office for the service of the palace maids.
It is conceivable that the men and women who are on errands here are all sent over because they have either violated the palace rules, or offended the master, or are old and weak and useless.
The first few palace people inside, since Li Mu'er entered the door, didn't even raise their heads, and washed their clothes in the cold basin. Their expressions were numb, like puppets tied with threads but could move by themselves, so numb that Li Mu'er was a little scared.
It is really worthy of being the place that the palace people don't want to enter the last place except Yongxiang.
Li Mu'er didn't want to waste time in this gloomy atmosphere, and she didn't know who to ask and what to ask, so she had to sway around and look around.
The person she was looking for was the group of palace maids she rescued from the Queen Mother's staff in Yongxiang at the beginning.
One.
Zhu Youzhu told her that they had been let out of the palace, and it was up to them to choose to stay. Although Li Mu'er thought of them as soon as she heard that the Queen Mother had an accident, she was not sure until she found the warm ear ......
Li Mu'er clenched her hands to warm her ears, and her eyes were fixed on a rickety figure.
This person has no other characteristics, except that there is a hideous scar on his face.
On that day, she knelt on the ground and admonished Li Muer, "The one you offended is the current Queen Mother!" ”
Now it's time to say it the other way around. Li Mu'er took a deep breath, stepped forward a few steps, handed the warm ear to her eyes, and said in a dumb voice: "It's been a long time, aunt." ”
With the sound of the bucket falling to the ground, Li Mu'er heard her smile bitterly, and then said with relief: "Noble, it's time to call you a bachelor girl......
A room full of Chase shops, cold and damp. When the two entered, they were silent for a long time.
Li Mu'er couldn't bear it after all, and sighed: "Since the emperor has given you permission to leave the palace and return home, why don't you go out and spend the rest of your life in peace?" ”
She hooked the corners of her lips with difficulty, and asked rhetorically, "Why did the female bachelor come to find an unknown slave?" ”
"Auntie probably doesn't remember, I helped you into the room that night, and there were a few conch conches on the table. I used to hear my well-informed gentleman say that if you put a conch in your ear, you can hear the sound of the waves. He told me it was the sound of home. But we all know that it's just because the conch is twisted and easy to echo. Li Mu'er swept the warm ears in her hand, "Although the Queen Mother said that this was made by the people of the Shangfu Bureau, I thought to myself, the people from Yongxiang are afraid that they will not be able to go to such a good place as the Shangfu Bureau to be on an errand." Then the only one who can touch this warm ear is this Huanyi Bureau. You probably thought of playing this play because you saw the warm ears of the Queen Mother, right? ”
"Heh, what's wrong with this ear warmer?"
Li Mu'er used both hands to tear open the warm ear, revealing a small conch inside, "The Queen Mother wears warm ears during the day, and the quieter it is, the more she can hear the echo inside." After a long time, auditory hallucinations appeared. She said she heard the sound of blood flowing, in fact, nothing more than the echo of blood vessels flowing in her ears. This naturally made her feel terrified, and then, she said that she heard the female ghost talking to her," Li Mu'er paused, "in fact, it was indeed the sound of you looking for something outside the temple. ”
She didn't answer, and she didn't seem to admit it. Li Mu'er had no choice but to continue: "Not only to warm your ears, you can also come into contact with the Queen Mother's clothes when you work here." I just saw the dress in the Queen Mother's Palace, and there were several silk threads on it, and the material of the silk threads was completely different from the silk threads of the clothes themselves. Hmm, how to say it, it is easy to see with the naked eye, but it is not light, a bit like the rivers and lakes, killing people in invisible ......" Li Mu'er was afraid of revealing her identity and didn't dare to talk more about the things on the rivers and lakes, so she coughed weakly, "Ahem, the queen mother's clothes are naturally precious, but they will not be sewn with such deliberate silk threads." So I guess it must be that you tied a long thread on your clothes, and when you caught the opportunity to send it to the Queen Mother's Palace, you put the thread next to the ground until the door. In the dead of night, with a quick and hard pull of the thread, the garment floated out of the tray like a ghost and stuck to the door. As soon as the Queen Mother called, the door was vigorously pushed open by the guards from the outside, and the line was naturally broken. You're really looking for something, because you're going to take back the thread that's broken outside, right? ”
She froze as she stood.
Li Mu'er sighed again, "The people outside heard that the Queen Mother was frightened, and they all rushed into the palace. You took the opportunity to smash the window with a stone again, and sat down to tell the truth. There are marks of bumps on the window, but there are no bumps, you must have wrapped something in the stone. Well, the silk thread is easy to break, it should be silk silk or something, which can take the stone back far away......"
She took a few invisible steps to the bed.
