264 The Secret of the Isle
After thinking about it for a while, Bai Zhen'er spoke: "Okay, I promise to go with you." β
"Madame, please change into the clothes I brought, and I'll take Madame away." Hua Xi took out the clothes prepared in advance from the backpack behind her back, and carefully waited for Bai Zhen'er to get dressed.
For Hua Xi's respectful attitude, Bai Zhen'er was a little uncomfortable. She put on the clothes of an ordinary maid and followed behind Hua Xi, as if it had been arranged in advance, and they left the courtyard smoothly all the way.
"Madame, the carriage is too conspicuous. You'll have to follow me. β
"Nothing." Bai Zhen'er followed behind Hua Xi while looking at the situation around her, and sure enough, it was not the same as what she saw at the beginning. In the past, there were beautiful lanterns hanging on the streets at night, but now there are very few of them.
Anyway, it gives people a sense of desolation, without the feeling of prosperity before.
"Madame, please come with me." Hua Xi carefully took Bai Zhen'er through the hidden streets and alleys to a place similar to a hillside.
She wondered, everything was flat here, why did such a place appear?
"Madame, please come in. The conditions here are a bit rudimentary, which makes the lady smile. Hua Xi seemed to be a little embarrassed, she took Bai Zhen'er to a house, "Grandma, I brought Mrs. here." β
"Huaxi, you are reckless again." The silver-haired old lady frowned at Hua Xi, and Hua Xi lowered her head, "Grandma, Madame is in danger, so I brought Madame here." β
Finally, the old lady sighed helplessly, and then said, "You take Madame to the best room to rest." β
"Yes. Grandma. Hua Xi seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, she left the room with Bai Zhen'er, and she said, "Actually, the grandmother is very good. β
Bai Zhen'er smiled and didn't speak, maybe she just believed that this was the gathering place of those ancient families. There was a genuine painting of Tang Yin in the old lady's house just now, and there seemed to be a lot of such calligraphy, paintings and ornaments.
She followed Huaxi all the way to a room and said it was good. Not really. It's just that compared to those houses, this room is facing the sun and is relatively clean. She looked at Hua Xi and said, "Now, you should make it clear to me." What's going on with that Imperial Tomb map, right? β
Hua Xi smiled faintly. He said, "Actually." β
"Flowers. It's so late, let Madame sleep and rest. At this moment, an old woman's voice came from outside.
Hua Xi's expression was a little embarrassed, and she immediately looked at Bai Zhen'er embarrassedly and said, "Madam." It's me who didn't think it through. Madame, rest well, and I will come back to Madame tomorrow. β
Since that's all said, if she doesn't leave with the flowers, it won't be like it. She then nodded and said, "Okay." β
"Everything was clean and there were people outside. If Madame asks for anything, just say it. β
"Okay, excuse me."
"Don't disturb Madame's rest." Hua Xi finished speaking with a little blush, and left the house in a hurry.
Bai Zhen'er could still vaguely see what Hua Xi was talking to the old man outside, to be honest, Hua Xi was really a pure and kind girl sometimes.
Now that the matter has come to this, Bai Zhen'er also turned around and lay on the bed, she has a hunch that it seems that many mysteries will be solved tomorrow.
The next day, Bai Zhen'er woke up all night without a dream. Hua Xi was already waiting outside, and after seeing Bai Zhen'er wake up, Hua Xi walked in, "Madam, there are no other slaves here, let Hua Xi serve Madame." β
"No, I'll do it myself." Bai Zhen'er got up and dressed herself, Hua Xi looked at her from the side, and stood aside with a comb in her hand, like a maid.
Finally, after seeing that Bai Zhen'er would not use her, she put down the things in her hand in disappointment, "Madam, you have breakfast first." Afterwards, we went to see Grandma. β
"Okay." Bai Zhen'er nodded, Hua Xi walked out happily when she saw it, and then walked in with something in her hand.
Bai Zhen'er glanced at it, and the food was a little simpler than outside, but under such conditions, she was not the kind of person who was pampered. Hua Xi was a little embarrassed, "Madam, the conditions here are not very good." β
"Nothing." Bai Zhen'er was a little hungry, she picked up the chopsticks and started eating, she didn't eat, there was still one in her stomach.
After the meal, Bai Zhen'er followed Hua Xi to the old lady's room she had seen before. The room was a little dark, and it didn't feel very comfortable.
After the old lady saw them come in, her face remained unchanged, she looked at Bai Zhen'er and said, "Huaxi, you go out first." β
Hua Xi glanced at Bai Zhen'er, and she left the room without saying anything. It wasn't until Hua Xi left the room that the old lady spoke: "Madam, please take a seat." β
Bai Zhen'er sat on the futon when she heard this, she looked at the old lady opposite, waiting for her to speak.
"Madame also saw that there are many factions on the island, and now, they are in danger."
"What do you want to say?"
"It doesn't matter what the old man wants to say, what matters is what the lady wants to ask. Whatever the lady wants to ask, the old body will answer. But there is one condition, I hope that Madame will promise me. β
"You say."
"When Madame leaves, take the flowers with her. She is really the only one who has anything to do with the bloodline of the previous dynasty. β
The only bloodline? Bai Zhen'er thought that this was different from what Hua Xi told her, and she spoke: "If you tell me this, aren't you afraid that I will say it?" β
The old lady shook her head and said, "What Madame sees in her eyes is naturally not what we ordinary people can see. Madame, please come with me. With that, the old lady slowly got up and walked towards the inner room.
Bai Zhen'er glanced at it, she habitually touched the bracelet on her wrist, and then followed. It's darker inside, the road is not easy to walk, and the more you walk, the wetter the dirt becomes.
Later, she followed the old lady to a secret room-like place, and the old lady opened the mechanism, and they went into the inner room. Bai Zhen'er looked up and gasped, there were tablets standing here, and the names of the Tang Dynasty royal family were enshrined on them.
"That's the secret itself." The old lady took a deep look at the tablets, "There are some things, Hua Xi has already told Madame." In fact, those who followed the master earlier have lost those thoughts. Those who came later were ambitious people, and gradually colluded with people outside, and slowly achieved today's dark party.
"What does the people of the Thirteen Castles of the Great Desert have to do with you?"
The old lady shook her head, "Those are just a faΓ§ade, the real royal family has all been transferred to the island." β
If so, even she had been deceived before. has always regarded the desert as a place that needs to be monitored, but I didn't expect that this dark party is the biggest black queen behind the scenes. (To be continued.) )
