When the emperor's entourage all entered the palace, these people were carried by the emperor, waiting for him to change clothes and wash, as well as eunuchs and palace maids with their belongings, like those few carryers can only wait outside like us.

The task of our guards is not light, there is no Shence army, we have to take on the security of the entire palace, plus a total of more than a dozen guards with us, Cao guards have the highest level, and they are arranged by him, there are people on duty in the four corners of Changchun Palace, and there are mobile guards, there are Cao guards on duty at the door, and I will take a guard to do mobile patrols.

The emperor didn't come out until noon, I thought I was going to eat here today, otherwise I saw Chen Jiu come out and send the little eunuch to the imperial dining room to pass the decree, and after a while, a few eunuchs came with food boxes, it seems that they have been prepared for a long time, but I don't know where to send it.

At this time, I was also hungry, so I asked the guards who were with me, "How are we going to eat, is there someone to deliver it?" ”

The guard said: "Guard Lan, you don't know, we don't eat on duty, you like we all go back to eat after duty, so everyone secretly brings some food, you can eat some mats in the middle of duty, don't you bring it?" ”

What kind of bad rule is this, I scolded in my heart, this is not to eat, how can I have the physical strength to escort, I heard the guard ask me, I had to say: "I came here as a chauffeur guard for the first day, so I don't know, and I don't have anything to eat, it seems that I have to endure it." ”

The guard took out a paper bag from his bosom, opened it and saw that there were four eggs in it, he picked up two and handed them to me and said, "Guard Lan, I'll bring some here, I'll eat some,"

I was really hungry, so I didn't politely take the egg and found a place where there was no one, so I ate it in a few bites, patted my stomach and said to the guard: "Thank you, brother, I will invite you to drink when I have the opportunity." ”

The guard was not polite, and said, "Okay, brother another day, I'll please, please Lan Guard, be sure to appreciate the light." ”

"Okay, in order to thank my brother for the eggs, I invite you, but I don't even know your name, so I'll look for you there when the time comes."

"Brother, my name is Sun Yong, please take care of the Lan guards."

The two of us chatted and patrolled without a match, and we didn't see the emperor come out until the evening, it seems that we are going to stay in Changchun Palace tonight, until the guards on duty at night come to take over, and our respectable emperor is still working hard and does not plan to leave.

After the handover, I followed the Cao guards back to the guards' office, had dinner, and had nothing to do, the guards went to the dormitory in groups to play pai gow and other things, of course I wouldn't go, so I had to stay in the dormitory.

Because I have been thinking about the mysterious courtyard and can't sleep, until the child, those noisy guards have quieted down, I came out of the door to look at the sky, although there is moonlight, but there are a lot of clouds, a while to block the moon, it seems that tonight is a good move, I came to the toilet, there is no one in the toilet, I listened to the wall, there is no one outside the wall, directly out of the wall, outside the wall is a small river, I followed the river, to the side of the road that I passed the night before.

It was late at night, so I didn't have to worry about being seen, so I climbed up the tree to the top of the branch and looked into the courtyard. The courtyard is full of flowers and plants, and in the middle of the courtyard is a large hall, and there is a row of bungalows on the side. I looked, and it was pitch black except for the lights coming from the main hall. I jumped lightly, jumped on the wall, looked at the movement, then jumped off the wall, along the wall I came to the corner of the main hall, listened to the hall there was no movement, then straightened up, the windows were closed, I could not see the inside, I dipped my fingers in the saliva, and gently wet the paper pasted on the window with a hole.

Through the small hole, I looked into the main hall, and saw that in the center of the hall was a tall copper furnace, which was much bigger than our senior brother Laoshan alchemy, but I didn't see anyone, there were several large cabinets on the side, it was estimated that they were filled with alchemy materials, and the strange thing was that there was no one except for a few candles lit.

I don't think this person will all sleep, no, since he came, how can he return so empty-handed, I gently followed the root of the wall to the back of the main hall, only to see that the back of the main hall is full of houses, and the main hall is connected, but these houses do not even have a window, but each roof has two chimneys, it is estimated that it is for ventilation. I didn't find anything behind, so I had to go back to the original window, and look in through the hole just now, this time I was startled, but I saw a man with a stripe in the room, opened the cabinet and didn't know what to find and didn't even wear a shorts, the root of the life was swinging around under the crotch, and I couldn't see the person's appearance clearly, but I saw that the hairstyle was a Taoist bun, the man rummaged for a while, I didn't know what he was holding and stood up, I saw by the candle light, this man was in his fifties, Holding a porcelain vase in his hand, he didn't know what was inside.

But when he opened the porcelain vase, he sniffed it, and poured something out of it, and he couldn't see it clearly from a distance. The man looked at it, put what he was holding in his mouth, and then took a sip of the water on the table. Then he came to the copper furnace, opened the furnace door and went inside. The hall was quiet again, I listened for a while and there was no movement, so I came to the door of the hall, pushed it with my hand, the door was opened with a push, I looked at the hall and there was no movement, after entering the door, I closed the door gently, and inserted it with a bolt from the inside, before I came to the alchemy furnace, the door was open, I listened carefully, and the sound of intermittent talking came from inside.

I gently climbed into the furnace, only to see that there was a passage inside, this is an alchemy furnace, which is to hide people's eyes, but in fact, this is the entrance to the secret passage. The secret passage was not very wide, I bent down and walked forward, walked a dozen steps, and at the end of the passage, there was a larger corridor inside, and there was a lantern hanging in the corridor, shining brightly, illuminating the small space in the corridor, and I saw several rooms, one of which had a door ajar, and there was a light coming out of it, and there were voices of men and women laughing.

I tiptoed down the steps and came to the corridor, from what I observed outside just now, I saw that these houses are those buildings without windows, building such a house in the palace, no one would dare to build such a house without the emperor's approval, and what is even more strange is that there are Taoist priests who come in, so I am curious, I know it will be dangerous to come in, but since I came, if I don't solve this mystery, I can't sleep even if I go back, just look at the mystery, and rest assured.

Thinking about me while gently came to the open room, I looked inside through the crack in the door, two men and two women were naked, the old way who went out to get things just now was on a woman, desperately exercising, a pair of men and women on the bed, while watching them exercise, while stroking and biting each other, that obscene appearance was unsightly.
