Chapter XXVII: The Forbidden Land

On the night of this day, Bai Qingting applied the wound on his leg with the wound given by Jun Ziheng after freshening up, which was black and very cold.

She looked at the incision as thin and deep as a cicada's wings, but the inside of the wound was black because she flipped the scalpel, and thought to herself that there should be no scars.

After rebandaging, she went to bed and slept for a long and good night's sleep, because she had a three-day vacation since tomorrow, she could leave the palace openly, she could go to Xiao Nianzi and ask him if the wooden cabinet was ready, she could go to Junziheng and ask him if he could hand over the Li family and his son to her, etc.

As for the round-faced little palace maid, she didn't have time to settle accounts with her for the time being, and she had to wait until she returned to the palace to have time to deal with it.

In a word, she was very happy in her heart.

This good mood lasted until the next day, when she was buried by Xiao Qizi's spittle, attacked by Lu Siji's bag of blood tonic Chinese herbs that Junzi Hengkai opened, and was smiling by Fang Nushi's chatter that she wanted to take care of herself, and being sent off by Qin Cainu with a handful of snot and tears, she still felt happy.

She has only been out of the palace for three days, and she is not seriously injured, but these people give her the feeling that she is going to travel far away, so reluctant, so unrelieved.

She thinks, isn't it a bit of a fuss?

Just out of Qianlong Palace, Liu Dehai was waiting for her outside the palace gate.

"Qingxuan'er, it is Your Majesty's grace to go out of the palace to recuperate from your injuries this time, and you should be cautious in everything." He commanded.

Bai Qingting nodded, she felt that since she was reborn in this palace, she heard the most and did the most was the word prudence.

He added, "On weekdays, you live in the deep palace, and if you want to get close, you can't get close, and even if you want to do some things, you have to go around three times. ”

Bai Qingting responded: "Manager Liu rest assured, Qingting understands." ”

Liu Dehai sighed, "You are your daughter's family after all, you can't bear some losses, be careful in everything." ”

Innocence is something that women in this era regard as more important than their lives, so they will take risks to calculate her and use her at the chrysanthemum viewing party.

Bai Qingting was indifferent: "Qingting knows that he is guilty, and he will go outside the palace to recuperate, so he must keep in mind the words of Manager Liu. ”

Liu Dehai bowed his head and stopped talking.

When I left the palace and just arrived at the house on Nanyan Street, Aunt Wu at the door happened to come back from grocery shopping, and when she saw her smiling face, she said excitedly: "Girl, you are finally back!" ”

Bai Qingting then remembered that the original owner's house was taken care of by someone on weekdays, it was Aunt Wu and her wife Uncle Wu in front of them, but the two of them did not live in the house at night, and only entered the house during the day to clean and raise the small pets of the original owner.

Bai Qingting greeted with a smile: "Aunt Wu, what are you going to eat today?" ”

"I didn't know that the girl came back today, but I just bought some home-cooked food, not much!" Aunt Wu thought for a while and said, "Old Wu will come back later, and I will ask him to buy the girl's favorite red carp!" ”

"Okay." Bai Qingting and Aunt Wu went straight into the second door, passed through the main hall in the front yard, bypassed the folding corridor to the backyard, which was the main courtyard of the original owner on weekdays, Qingyuan, remembering that the word Junfu was hanging high next door to her house just now, she asked one by one: "Aunt Wu, the gentleman next door ......

"It's too early, Lord Jun hasn't gone down yet!" Aunt Wu is hearty and has a fast mouth: "Girl looking for the king, is there something wrong?" ”

Bai Qingting hurriedly shook her head, she just wanted to make sure if this Junfu was the Junfu she had in mind.

Aunt Wu said this, it should not be wrong.

That's good, she and he are accomplices, and they have become neighbors, not bad.

In addition to the clear courtyard, there are three other courtyards in the backyard, which are divided into kitchens, partial rooms and guest rooms, the partial rooms are for Aunt Wu and Uncle Wu to rest and live in the house during the day, and the guest houses have never been occupied, and have been empty.

Bai Qingting asked a few more words where her little pets were, Aunt Wu said that they always like to run around, sometimes run to the Sanjin Gate, because the original owner ordered the Sanjin Gate to be a forbidden place, no one is allowed to enter, Aunt Wu is not easy to enter, so she has to wait for them to come out by themselves.

But after coming and going, Aunt Wu was tired and panicked, so she recklessly detained them all in one place and took care of them: "It's in the courtyard of the side house, I didn't detain them during the day, let them play in the yard, and I locked them up at night, so as not to run around and get lost." Girl, go and see, these little ones are growing up now! ”

It turned out to be locked up, no wonder I didn't see it last night.

Bai Qingting responded casually, and Aunt Wu saw that she had nothing to do, so she went to work, saying that she wanted to prepare a table of lunch for her to taste, otherwise she would be too thin to form a shape.

In this regard, Bai Qingting did not express an opinion, no matter how happy Aunt Wu was, she was now remembering the third courtyard in the Sanjin Gate, where the main courtyard bedroom was still connected to the secret passage of the Qinghua Pavilion of the Imperial Palace.

When I arrived at the third entrance, the white walls on both sides stood tall, and the two gates made of dark red nanmu were tightly closed, although they were forbidden places, they were not locked.

Bai Qingting pushed open the door and entered, looking around.

Walking straight along the bluestone path is the main hall, on both sides are side halls, on both sides of the path are two large flower beds, planted with plum trees, because no one comes in to take care of them, there are many weeds growing in them, quite a tendency to run over the main tree.

This layout is the same as that of a courtyard with one entrance and two entrances.

Crossing the side hall of the main hall, she went around a few more corridors to the courtyard where she came out that night, and there was a fan-shaped plaque with a black background on the door of the large round arch, on which the word "Old Garden" was written.

The only difference between the third courtyard and the first two courtyards is that the backyard is not divided into several small courtyards, but becomes a large courtyard by itself, which is the old garden.

Therefore, the old garden is very large, the left side of the entrance is a long white wall, the right side is a row of five rooms, each room occupies a large area, the courtyard in front of the house is also amazingly large, there is a small basketball court feeling.

This will be bright and clear in the daytime, the yard is still planted with a plum tree, just in the corner opposite the entrance, the flower garden is very large, outside the flower garden is a stone table and two stone benches, and there are no other objects.

At first glance, the ground is full of dead leaves, the wind rustles, and the whole old garden is a little frighteningly empty.

The bedroom was in the one of the five rooms next to the plum tree, that is, the innermost place opposite the entrance, Bai Qingting had probably seen it last time, this time she went to take a look at the other four rooms first.

In the middle is the main hall, and there are all kinds of things to entertain guests, but it has not been slightly dusted for a long time, which is why the original owner often comes to clean, otherwise it will be dusted early and I don't know how many layers.

The other three rooms were either empty or stocked with miscellaneous items, and she thought she could put the big wooden cabinets in the way she could put them out.

A few wooden cabinets in one room are more than enough, but there is no need to worry about the storage of wooden cabinets for the time being.

Then she went into the bedroom and lay down on the bed, pressed the mechanism of the dark grid, and the next moment she was lying on the chaise longue in the dark room.

This house was bought by the original owner more than a year ago after discovering the secret passage of the dark room, and at that time the house was so deserted that it was not in shape, and the original owner also spent a lot of effort to repair the basket before it could be lived.

Bai Qingting thought that this should be the legacy of the female official who lived in Qinghua Pavilion a few generations ago, along with the secret passage of the dark room that connected to the house on Nanyan Street outside the palace.

She looked at this dark room, which was twice the size of the dark room of Qinghua Pavilion, and suddenly felt that if it weren't for the fact that the big wooden cabinet couldn't be moved here, this must be the best place to hide the corpse.

After sighing slightly, she went back to the dark room of Qinghua Pavilion along the secret passage, and after making sure that the corpse of the palace maid on the wooden bed was still fresh, she picked up the black burlap bag and walked back, intending to bury the cat in the courtyard of the old garden.

After tossing back and forth like this, it was nearly noon after she buried the cat under the plum tree.

After returning to the Qingyuan after leaving the hometown, Aunt Wu was picking vegetables and washing vegetables, and Uncle Wu had also bought fresh red carp back, she smiled and chatted with the two old people for a few words, and then asked Aunt Wu to boil hot water for her to bathe.

She was covered with dirt, and she sweated back and forth in the secret passage, and it was not refreshing to not wash her body.
