Chapter 90: The Truth Is Approaching
"How could such a precious thing appear in a place like the Qingsi Palace?"
I looked at the scar-faced man's face with a different color.
The situation in the Qingsi Palace, after the beautiful sister left, under the gossip of the people in the courtyard, I have heard enough clearly.
Living there was Su Guijun, who was sent away by the empress after an outrage.
Although his original status in the palace was lower than that of the imperial monarch He Yanzhi in terms of grade, in fact, the favored Cheng DΓΉ was not bad.
In the palace of the Empress of Sealand, the back seat has been vacant, according to the grade, that He Yanzhi is the most noble, and the title is the emperor.
Su Xun is second only to him, Guijun, Yajun below, there are a lot of beauties I will confuse and I am not interested in figuring out the title, I only know that it is people's lives.
With me, nothing to do at the moment!
These two people shared most of the empress's leisure time in the palace, and the rest of the other palace beauties just depended on luck.
The empress is not abusive in this regard, just look at her attitude towards Ji Jiu and you can know that she belongs to a amorous and not abusive person, but if you want her to be dedicated, please, people have not had that kind of education!
If you want to produce a dedicated empress in Sealand, it is about to come out of the sun in the west, and push forward, before her, there was such an alternative.
I am most interested in the reason why Su Xun was demoted to the "cold palace", but that is the secret of the harem, and the people in this small courtyard are not clear.
I know a little about the situation in the Qingsi Palace, and the boss once went there with the next little master to do things. It's said that it's very desolate, and I can't imagine that there is such a place in the palace.
To put it mildly, even occasions like the Huanyi Bureau look more energetic than Qing Sidian.
The feeling that goes over there to them. is like an old man in his twilight years, and with so many beautiful palace maids who are not reused, the whole scene sounds even weirder.
I also heard that the food and clothing over there are not comparable to when Su Xun was favored in the past, so how can there be such a precious collection?
The scar-faced man has developed a pair of discerning eyes in the process of professional inverted buckets, which is a treasure and a big road goods, he will know it by looking at it!
I want to trust his professional Cheng dΓΉ.
Right now, he attaches great importance to the box in front of me, so that he can talk to me regardless of his previous suspicions. He must have something very difficult to tell me.
I had a hunch that he was going to ask me to do something for this box!
This feeling is hovering in my heart, and it is very bad!
The next second, I confirmed my suspicion. My intuition is like this, and I'm drunk too!
"I asked you to come here to ask you to do me a favor."
The scar-faced man hesitated a few times, and finally got to the point. But the real purpose is still to hold the pipa and half-cover the face. In a cloud masking hood
He said two words "please" in a row, which shows his solemn Cheng dΓΉ.
"You said it, and I can decide if I can help."
I thought for a moment, neither agreed nor refused, and gave him a cautious answer, I want to see what kind of medicine is sold in his gourd?!
"Look at what's in the box."
The scarface man hesitated, but still said the request.
"Haven't I seen it? Want to see it again? I glanced at him in confusion.
I said so, but my hand was already reaching for the box. Hold it up.
After opening it as he asked. I looked at it more carefully this time than I had just now.
I found that in addition to the broken pages, there was a layer of jade-white flakes wrapped underneath, and judging by the shape, it was supposed to contain the whole book.
The jade-white flakes, I only dared to touch them lightly, I didn't dare to use them vigorously, and my fingertips were cool, and I couldn't tell what it was for the time being.
I looked at the remnants of the box again, and my heart moved, as if the original tightly sealed structure had been artificially destroyed.
I focused for a moment, and told Scarface a rough idea of what I had found.
From the time I entered the house until now, this person has never shown me a good face, probably because he has a grudge that he was given by me.
Many people are like this, they only remember the consequences, not the antecedents, and they don't want to think about how lacking virtue they are when they have a poisonous tongue, but they just use food to restrain each other and not eat together!
At this moment, however, I noticed a noticeable change in the expression on his face.
"I didn't see it before, it's a pity that you don't do this!"
The scarface man didn't hesitate to praise at all, he lowered his voice and said, "When I was in Bering Mountain, how many treasures were there underneath, and there was no one around me who could help at that time, otherwise, otherwise"
His tone sounded very regretful, maybe he didn't have enough time in that mission, and his manpower was limited, so he had no more wishes left.
I didn't care, I didn't even ask him the truth, if I changed someone else, I might not be able to hold back!
It's not that I'm calm, just because that's not the point I'm struggling with!
Right now, how to get the book done is what I'm most concerned about, and what he's going to ask me to do right away!
I put down the box disappreciatively, my movements were still very gentle, for fear of damaging the ancient book inside, I looked at his face for a while and said: "These questions, a more careful person can see it, what's so strange, you can't help but exaggerate." "I don't have any interest in what you do, and I get goosebumps on my back when I think about going to that kind of place." "Tell me quickly, what the hell is it about me?" I urged, "Dinner is still waiting for me." β
The scar-faced man's face turned pale, and he said in a low voice: "I'll make dinner myself, have you heard of Penglai Pavilion?" β
I looked at him in shock, and almost lost the box in my hand in an instant!
"Penglai Pavilion," I took a deep breath and looked at him word by word, "What's wrong?" β
"Since you have this expression, you must know what is going on over there."
The scar-faced man said slowly: "Penglai Pavilion's new Great Power Teacher, it hasn't been long since he moved in. "There are a lot of rumors in the palace about him and the empress."
In the end, I am a non-Sealand citizen, and the word empress is much more pronounced than the word "majesty". "It is rumored in the palace that the empress is with him"
The scar-faced man didn't have time to finish his words. I made a gesture to stop, and he understood, and looked at me with his mouth shut.
I said to him angrily, "If you want to invite me to listen to the gossip." You can stop now, I don't have any interest in those two things. β
With that, I turned around and left. "Wait a minute," Scarface stopped me, "why did you react so much when you heard that?" During the day, I heard you and the master in the small courtyard talk about the rumors and old news in the palace. β
"Didn't you have a good conversation?"
His eyes saw me talking happily. It's obviously good to be separated by a wall! "Those are two different things," I said with a frown, "can it be related to what is happening now?" "I want to give you the background. You go to Penglai Pavilion to find someone for me. β
"But it is different from the other palaces, and it can be said that it is more sensitive than the place where the emperor stays." "If you run into the empress's spies or the empress herself, it is likely that the matter will be exposed, and it will be risky."
That's right!
A few thoughts crossed my mind. Turning around, he looked at him without blinking. After a while, I suppressed the surging emotions in my heart and sneered, "It turns out that you have such an idea!" β
"You want to hide this matter from the empress right now?"
"You're so daring!"
"Right now, it's not the Bering Mountain, it's the Sealand Palace, where there will be countless ears and eyes every step of the way."
"If you want to hide it, can you hide it?!!"
I paused, thinking back to what he had disturbed, and now I calmed down.
I analyzed with him: "The beautiful sister of the Qingsi Palace. When the box came, everyone in the small courtyard saw it. Now that you've told me that you've moved to hide it, what good way can you come up with? "You can't stop so many people."
The scarface man was silent for a moment, leaned over and took out a box from under the bed and said, "Look at what this is?" β
The moment I saw something in his hand, my eyes froze.
Immediately turned his head to look at the box of ancient books resting on the table.
I can't see much of a difference!
I suppressed the horror in my heart, as if I was getting closer to some truth I didn't know!
And what's inside?! I was only surprised for a moment and asked him, "What does it look like?" "Can you conjure up another book instead?"
The scarface man shook his head and said, "You got the point wrong in the first place. "I'm not trying to steal the box, oh no, it's the book, I'm just going to let the restored contents be as good as I can see, and keep them with me for a while."
I looked at him in surprise and said, "The restoration you did was naturally the first one you saw, how simple this request is!" β
"As for the reservation you said, why is it difficult for you to delay returning the ancient books to that Su Guijun in Qingsi Hall for a few days?"
The scar-faced man smiled bitterly: "Isn't it that I can't complete the repair, if I can, I still need to say?" β
A smile appeared on the corner of my mouth: "Then according to what you say, you have been selling your reputation when you entered the palace." "What is the first person in the palace skills, for a long time, Penglai Pavilion has a skilled palace craftsman who is better than you." "Then tell me, who in Penglai Pavilion is so good at doing this?" "Master National Teacher!"
The scar-faced man replied in a low voice, almost making me unsteady!
I held on to the edge of the table to steady.
His brain was knocked out? Or is food poisoning affecting nerves? The toxin followed his body like a highway, and invaded his brain along the way.
I looked at him in deep confusion, but his expression didn't look like he was joking at all!
For a moment, I had the urge to say the Three Character Sutra!
I'm Xiaoqiang, and I have strong resistance to blows!
After the tremendous impact, I settled down and asked him, "Tell me, why did you want me to go?!" (To be continued......)
