Chapter 27: The Heavenly Pavilion

The queen looked at her, suddenly changed her mind, and asked her to follow her to the main hall. The concubines present dispersed one by one, and the aunt in charge of the palace conveyed the message on behalf of the queen, and everyone saw that the queen had left, and they all guessed whether something big had happened, so they didn't dare to stay, and left under the guidance of the palace people. Everyone scattered and walked away, and no one noticed that someone took advantage of the chaos to sneak to the southeast corner of the palace.

Jiang Xunxue sneaked all the way to Yunyin Pavilion, and found that the door was not locked, so she pushed the door in without thinking, and after closing the door, she leaned against the door and gasped, patting her chest with her hand, while thinking that these women were really terrifying. She didn't miss Hou Guifei's smug look after hearing that the Seventh Prince was poisoned. But she is not interested in these, she only wants to know about the things of twenty years ago, things related to her mother, and she doesn't care if she can't find anything else.

Before Emperor Wu of Jin finished speaking, Jiang Linghe interrupted him, "Since the emperor has already seen Xunxue, the queen seems to have something important, so we will retire first." ”

Looking around, Jiang Xunxue found that this was just an ordinary attic, the first floor was full of musical instruments, but most of the instruments were covered with a thick layer of ash, only a few musical instruments had traces of wiping, and the ground was full of dust. The footprints are the same person, and the shades of ash are different, this person should come often, but it is not Jiang Wei, she has seen the shoes sewn by the 'mother' for Jiang Wei, which are larger than the footprints on the ground. Suddenly, she saw that there was a row of footprints that had not fallen into the dust, it was such a coincidence, this person should have just been here today, Jiang Xunxue had a flash of inspiration, and walked forward with the footprints. She stepped forward to check the wiped instrument, and there was nothing special about it, it should not be connected to any mechanism.

Jiang Xunxue looked at the footprints and found that this person had also gone upstairs, wondering who this person was and what the purpose was, while carefully stepping on the footprints upstairs to prevent leaving traces of himself. When she came to the second floor, she found that there were more footprints, and they were quite messy, almost everywhere, although they were suspicious, but they made it easier for her to move. There are several bookcases on this floor, which are much cleaner than the next floor, and it seems that this frequent visitor has wiped them. After looking around, Jiang Xunxue stood in the corner holding her chin and began to think.

This attic has a total of two floors, and the next floor is full of musical instruments, and it is clear at a glance that there is no mechanism and no formation; This floor is full of bookshelves, filled with sheet music and music theory, and no mechanism has been found on the shelves. If the book collector hides the book on the shelf, it will be too easy to find, as long as Emperor Wu of Jin sends a few more people to look through it, sooner or later he will find it and destroy it. Since it is to prevent Emperor Wu of Jin, it must be in a place that is not easy to find, where is it? Jiang Xunxue thought while stepping on the footprints on the ground and turned this floor twice, but did not find it, so he went downstairs again, and searched carefully on the first floor but still found nothing. She counted the hours, and before long, someone would find out that she was gone, and if she couldn't find her, she wouldn't have a chance. Just as she was anxious, she seemed to think of something, looked up, and decided to go upstairs to verify it.

Jiang Xunxue didn't have much time, and he didn't follow the footprints slowly, but aimed at the footprints and jumped all the way over, jumping to the footprints closest to the wall and stopped. She scooped up the hem of her skirt and fastened it around her waist, slowly squatted down, and reached for a plank by the wall with her hand, but her hands were short, it was almost that, she thought about it, took out the dagger from her boot, held it in her hand and knocked on the plank, and sure enough, it was empty. No wonder she wouldn't have been discovered, just two fingers wide by the wall, and most people wouldn't even step on it, and if she hadn't just accidentally seen a section of the beam erected up where the beam entered the wall to connect with the floor, she wouldn't have noticed it. This implication should not have been intentional, but was caused by the negligence of the craftsmen during the construction of the Cloud Sound Pavilion. Without thinking too much, Jiang Xunxue lifted the wooden board with a dagger, and found that the space under it was just enough to put a book, she gently inserted the dagger into the connection of the book and picked out the book, and quickly wrapped the book on her calf and stuffed it into her boots. Then she laid the planks away, fanned the wind lightly with her hands to make the dust on the ground look even, and left the way she came.

As soon as he stepped out of the door of Yunyin Pavilion, Jiang Xunxue was knocked and almost fell back. When she stood still, she found Cheng Yuqian, who was also frightened, standing in front of her, "Qian Yucheng? Jiang Xunxue looked at him with a smile on her face.

Cheng Yuqian looked at Jiang Xunxue embarrassedly, "Gu Xiaoyu? Why are you here? ”

"Hmph, I said I was lost, okay?"

"Okay, you can say anything, but whose daughter are you? It seems that there is no family surnamed Gu in the court? Cheng Yuqian looked at her suspiciously.

"I didn't know that a poor scholar could still appear in the palace so brightly. Hey, you won't be the father-in-law of any temple, right? Jiang Xunxue pretended to look at him curiously, looking at him uncomfortable.

"Looking at your expression, do you know who I am?" Cheng Yuqian asked uncertainly.

"The footprints in this attic are yours?" Jiang Xunxue did not answer, but asked a question that she was very concerned about. If it was Cheng Yuqian, then it is very likely that he only came for these musical instruments, not for the hidden history book.

"Yes, I asked the guards to come and help me carry a few instruments back in the morning, and left the door open, and it looks like they haven't come yet." Cheng Yuqian looked inside the door and said.

"You opened the door?"

"Yes, there is no one here all year round, and it's a pity that a lot of musical instruments are kept here, so I asked my father for the key."

I see, it seems that he really doesn't know about the history books, but he didn't expect Jiang Wei to be discovered by the guards that he was the one who contributed to it, Jiang Xunxue is funny when he thinks about it.

"Xiao Yu? What are you laughing at? Cheng Yuqian asked curiously, as if he hadn't looked at the little girl in front of him since he met him.

"It's none of your business!" After saying that, Jiang Xunxue ran away, and Cheng Yuqian couldn't stop her.

After running back to the Imperial Garden, Jiang Xunxue found that everyone had already dispersed, and when she was worried about where to go, the palace maid who was waiting for the Imperial Garden came to her, saying that she was taking her to the Chenji Hall on the order of the emperor. When she arrived, the queen and Du Yingzi were already waiting outside the palace, and they didn't know why they hadn't been summoned. The palace people took her into the hall, and Jiang Linghe was also there.

"Are you looking for snow?" Emperor Wu of Jin's loving voice came, which made Jiang Xunxue shudder, this emperor seemed to be very kind to him, but it seemed to be just hanging on the surface.
