Chapter 108: The Chamber of Secrets
Hangzhou Mansion, inside the hall.
"Lord Hang." Guo's father-in-law was dressed in a brocade robe, with a high crown, and he was dressed like a big squire. I was stunned at the beginning of the month.
"Father-in-law Guo, this is?"
Guo An smiled when he heard this, "The old slave was ordered by His Majesty to come to Hangzhou Mansion secretly. ”
Yue Yue nodded, "What's the matter with the emperor?" ”
"Your Majesty wants the old slave to take Lord Hang to a place," Guo An paused, then looked at Qing Dai and smiled lightly: "There is also Miss Qing Dai, who must also go along." ”
"Me?!" Qingdai on the side was also stunned.
Yue Yue was stunned and said, "Where does Your Majesty want us to go?" ”
"Lord Hang will know when he arrives."
At the beginning of the month, after the others were disguised, they went out of Hangzhou Mansion with Guo An, and actually went to the pawnshop next door to Hangzhou Mansion. At the beginning of the month, he looked up at this ordinary pawnshop, and a trace of surprise flashed in his heart.
There are two men cleaning in the pawnshop, and the shopkeeper is settling accounts in the hall. Seeing that the people at the beginning of the month came in, he said with a pleasant face: "How many guest officers do you want to be things?" ”
Gonggong Guo nodded, "Exactly." ”
"What do you deserve?" The shopkeeper walked out of the side door at this time and said with a smile.
Guo Gonggong also smiled and said, "I want to be this thing." As he spoke, he took out a small wooden box from his sleeve and handed it to the shopkeeper, who opened it and saw that it was a multicolored glass bead, and he was stunned.
When he looked up again, his eyes were solemn, "This bead of the guest officer is worth a lot of money." If I do, I'm going to ask our host. ”
Guo Gonggong gestured and said casually: "It's okay." ”
The shopkeeper took the glass beads into the inner courtyard, turned back after a while, and said respectfully to the moon and the others: "A few guests, our host has an invitation." Then he leaned sideways and made a gesture of please.
Gonggong Guo nodded and said to the moon: "Let's go." ”
The shopkeeper took the three of them, went all the way into the inner courtyard and came to a room, knocked on the door, and said, "The owner, someone brought it." After a response from the house, the shopkeeper pushed open the door and said to them at the beginning of the month, "Guests, please." ”
When I entered the house, I saw a middle-aged man dressed in cloth, with a gentle smile on his face, and bowed to the others and said, "Gonggong Guo, Lord Hang." ”
Guo An saluted and did not answer. The man didn't say much, led the moon and the others to the inside, and after arriving at the bookshelf, he stretched out his hand and turned the colorful porcelain bottle on the shelf, and the bookshelf turned violently, and in a moment, a secret passage appeared in front of everyone.
After handing a candle to Guo An, the man turned sideways. Guo An took the candlelight and said to the moon: "My lord, let's go." ”
In the tunnel, it is a little cold and damp. There is a sultry that has accumulated from years of impermeability. The three of them walked for about a quarter of an hour before they saw a dark room in front of them.
There is a lamp in the dark room, a desk and a low chair, and an hourglass on the desk, but there is no one in the dark room. At the beginning of the month, I looked around and found that there was a rope hanging on the wall on one side of the dark room, and the other end of the rope was an extension of the other dark passage of the first dark room. Guo An took a few steps forward, tugged at the rope, and soon rang a few bells.
It wasn't long before a footstep sounded, and soon it was near. The next moment, a slender figure appeared in front of the moon and the others, which made them startled.
"Wechen has seen my emperor, long live."
"The people's daughter sees the emperor."
They bowed and saluted, Jun Yi waved his hand, and said, "Flatten." Wen smiled and looked at Guo An and continued: "Grandpa Guo, it's faster than I thought." ”
"Do not dishonor the Holy Command."
"Hang Qing sit down," turning his head and pointing to the low chair, Jun Yi said, "But I didn't expect that there was such a secret passage next to Hang Mansion?" ”
"Yes." When she first saw the secret passage, she was puzzled in her heart, and she didn't think that there was such a secret place next door to her house. Judging from the itinerary just now, they should be under Miyagi now.
"This secret passage was discovered by Min Qing." Jun Yi said, "The first time he came out of this secret passage to meet me, he really scared me too. ”
"Lord Min?" At the beginning of the month, he raised his eyebrows, incredible.
"This secret passage was left when the imperial city was built, and no one knows about it except for the emperors of previous dynasties. The first emperor had to inform me in the future for some reason, so I didn't know about it. ”
Later, it was Min Qing who used his power in the Twelve Fangs to secretly investigate and rediscover this place. When the secret line in the palace was not removed, we have been secretly in contact through this secret passage. Jun Yi explained one by one.
The beginning of the month nodded clearly, "I don't know what is the matter with Your Majesty's summons?" ”
The emperor will definitely not summon her for no reason, just to let her know the existence of this secret passage. What's more, he also named Qingdai to accompany him, so there is something else to do.
Sure enough, Jun Yi smiled and said, "Hang Qing is really smart, I really need your help with something." ”
"Your Majesty, please speak."
I saw that Jun Yi's face sank slightly, his head was slightly tilted to the moon, and he said lightly: "I, I want her to enter the palace." He stretched out his hand and pointed at Qing Dai.
At the beginning of the month, I was stunned, and the green daisy on one side was even more shocked.
"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?" In an instant, the moon moon came back to his senses and asked with low eyes.
"A few days ago, the Inner Court Department arranged a few more concubines for His Majesty in accordance with the will of the Queen Mother." At this time, it was Guo An who spoke, "There is one person among them, Lord Hang should be very familiar with it." ”
"Who?"
"The second lady of the Protector's Mansion." Guo An said.
Misty clouds?! This...... What's going on? At the beginning of the month, she looked at Guo An a little confused, "How could she?" "She's not with Xu Shiheng......
"We don't know this, but what we can be sure of is that Miss Yun Er entered the palace, not Lord Yun's intention. It was arranged by Xu Shu, the secretary of the ministry. Therefore, the emperor suspected that she was the secret line arranged by the East Party to enter the palace. Guo An bowed his head on the side.
Qingdai on the side was also stunned.
"I don't have many credible people in the palace, and even if I do, very few can adapt to this kind of open guns and hidden arrows in the palace. But I heard that Miss Qingdai was once the daughter of a subordinate of the Western Party. ”
"Presumably these shady things, Miss Qingdai should have seen a lot, right?" Jun Yi raised his eyes and glanced at Qing Dai coldly, which made Qing Dai shudder.
At this time, Yue Yue was silent, glanced at Qingdai, and saw her hanging her head, not knowing what she was thinking.
"I want to borrow Miss Qingdai, but Hang Qing is willing?" Jun Yi spoke again, but at the beginning of the month, both of them were silent. Jun Yi pursed his lips and said, "If you enter the palace, Miss Qingdai's slavery is naturally avoidable." ”
Qing Dai was suddenly shocked and looked up at Jun Yi.
"How?" He asked.
"Little ...... Miss. Qing Dai glanced back at the beginning of the month, and said, "I, I think." The temptation to be free from slavery was too great for her. Once degraded to slavery, you must be enslaved for all generations and not be free. Although she has a worry-free life at the moment, if there is a way to avoid it, she will definitely want to give it a try.
At the beginning of the month, he sighed lightly: "I know, then follow what the emperor said." ”
The next day, an edict reached the Hangzhou Mansion, and Qingdai was summoned to the palace.
And the self-inspection of this official also came with news. (To be continued.) )
