Meng Qi took Zhang Dagen and his party and rushed straight to the back three palaces of the Qu Yuguo Palace, that is, where those concubines and queens lived.

According to the architectural setting of the palace of this Quyu Kingdom, the emperor lives in Longqing Palace, the queen lives in Huangning Palace, the queen mother lives in Cining Palace in the west of Yangxin Palace, the Emperor Taishang lives in Ningshou Palace in the east of the "East Six Palaces", and the concubines live in the "East and West Six Palaces" around Kunning Palace.

Meng Qi first went to Huangning Palace, passing through Taihe Square on the road, this square alone covers an area of nearly 20,000 square meters, which is equivalent to the size of the first phase of the construction project of the modern community, Meng Qi said in amazement: "If the queen knew that we were rushing to her now, she would definitely run away in advance, and we couldn't catch up with it if it was so far away." ”

Zhang Dagen hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to lead troops to stop it?" ”

Meng Qi shook his head and said: "I'm just talking, if these family members wanted to run, they would have run a long time ago, you saw that you were in the backyard of the palace before, and you didn't block anyone, right?" ”

Zhang Dagen nodded, and said with some doubts: "I still don't understand, if they don't run away from the back door, then what else can there be an exit, is there an underground passage in this palace?" ”

Meng Qi smiled: "They either evacuated early, or they are still in the palace, as for the underground passage?" That's not for these families to run away. ”

Zhang Dagen seemed to understand and nodded.

While the two were talking, they passed through an artificial river that meandered from west to east, and they recognized from the inscription that the name of this river was Liujin River.

There are five stone bridges on the river, and the white marble carved railing walls are built on both sides of the bridge, and the yellow glazed tile handrails are added on them, which can be described as very luxurious.

Meng Qi suddenly caught a glimpse of a eunuch feeding the goldfish in the river by the river, so he smiled and said, "Then the emperor asked you to stay here to feed the fish, your life is not as good as these goldfish." ”

The goldfish swimming in the water made a splash, as if they did not realize that the place where they had always lived was ushering in a great change.

The eunuch looked up at the murderous soldiers on the shore, his face did not move, and said: "The duty of the Sprinkle family is to feed these goldfish, if you say that the life of the Sprinkle family is more important than these goldfish, it is to torture the Sprinkle family." ”

Meng Qi chuckled and said, "Human life is not as expensive as fish gold, interesting, and boring. ”

"Let's go." Meng Qi was no longer stranded, and after crossing the bridge, he saw the Huangning Palace not far away.

This Huangning Palace was built very luxuriously, and Meng Qi exclaimed: "This palace is enough for the construction cost of the entire palace of our Pingtian Kingdom." ”

Zhang Dagen said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't talk about this Huangning Palace, now the entire palace of this Quyu Kingdom is yours." ”

Meng Qi smiled and nodded, but did not answer, with a worry in his eyes that was difficult for others to detect.

The group walked to the front of the Huangning Palace and found that there were no little eunuchs and palace maids serving around the door.

Zhang Dagen was puzzled: "Even the goldfish still has people waiting for them, and there is no one to serve in this queen's palace." ”

Meng Qi smiled: "That's because the goldfish in the river can't run away." ”

Zhang Dagen was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise: "You mean, the queen has run away?" No, after we attacked the city, we surrounded the palace, how did so many people in this palace run away from under our noses? ”

Meng Qi said: "Let's go in and take a look." ”

"Hmm." Zhang Dagen stepped forward, pushed open the door, walked in and looked around, and after making sure that there was no danger, he turned around and said strangely: "Your Majesty, as you expected, there is no one in the room." ”

Meng Qi nodded, followed in, and after looking around, he walked to the dresser used by the queen, and found that several drawers of the dresser were locked.

He looked at Zhang Dagen and motioned, "Open these." ”

"Yes." Zhang Dagen stepped forward, reached out to hold the small copper lock on the drawer, a little force, and heard the sound of clicking from his hand, Zhang Dagen stretched out his hand again, the copper lock in his palm had been broken into several pieces, and then, Zhang Dagen also 'crushed' the rest of the copper locks.

Seeing this, the corners of Meng Qi's mouth twitched, and the strength of this big root was really terrifying.

After removing the copper lock, Zhang Dagen stepped aside, and Meng Qi came over and opened the drawer.

In the imagination, the drawers are full of gold and silver jewelry, dazzling, and the jewelry that is difficult to see in ordinary people is stacked here at will, which shows the royal wealth of this jade country.

Meng Qi grabbed a gold ornament on his head, looked at it in the sun, and asked, "Zhang Dagen, look at the quality of these jewelry." ”

Zhang Dagen was puzzled: "Your Majesty, there is a truth below that I don't know whether to tell it or not." ”

"Say, I can't hold back when I look at you." Meng Qi threw the golden crown in his hand on the table.

"These jewelry looks valuable, in fact, they are not the best goods, a few years ago, the gold and silver jewelry of our Pingtian Kingdom Shanggong Quyu Kingdom were personally escorted by Zaixia, so I still have some understanding of these below, as far as I know, even the gold and silver jewelry sent by our Pingtian Kingdom are more expensive than those in front of us." Zhang Dagen said.

Meng Qi nodded thoughtfully and asked, "Go on." ”

Zhang Dagen said: "We have gone all the way, the strength and wealth of this Quyu country is in the eyes, if the queen is the mother of the world with this quality of jewelry, I don't believe it." ”

"Well, I don't look like a good thing." Meng Qi touched his chin and pouted.

Zhang Dagen walked up and looked through the gold and silver jewelry in a few drawers to the end, just shook his head, and did not see the precious jewelry that made his eyes shine.

Meng Qi sneered: "Damn, this Qu Yuguo treats us as hillbillies, even if we are acting, we are not willing to put down our capital." ”

"Acting? Your Majesty, what do you mean?" Zhang Dagen wondered.

Meng Qi walked around the room, pointed to the neat bed, and said, "Look at it, the bedding and mattresses are so neat." As he spoke, he pointed to the clothes in the closet and said, "Look at this side again, it's so neat." ”

Meng Qi returned to the dresser and said, "They also got a cabinet of junk jewelry, and finally they didn't forget to lock it." ”

The more Zhang Dagen listened, the more confused he became, and he really didn't understand the meaning of Meng Qi's words.

"I suspect that the people in this palace withdrew from here a long time ago, and they left with plenty of time to prepare, and they didn't have the panic of fleeing for their lives." Meng Qi said.

"Your Majesty, do you mean that this Quyu Kingdom Palace is an empty city?" Zhang Dagen was stunned and reacted.

Meng Qi nodded and said, "Whether it's an empty city or not, let's go to other places to see." ”

"Yes." Zhang Dagen followed Meng Qi out of the queen's bedroom and came to the palace of concubines in the east and west.

Without exception, all the palaces were gone.

After turning the last palace, Zhang Dagen couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, what I don't understand is why all the people in this palace have been evacuated, but the emperor Shen Chengfeng has stayed here?" ”

Meng Qi stood in front of the door of the Heart Cultivation Hall and fell into deep thought.
