Chapter 60: Chamber of Secrets
Such a simple and boring game was still played by the four girls for a long time, and Zhang Erzhen never drilled under the bed again, so she would be found every time after that. She also felt satisfied when she saw Xiangxiu's eyes shining when she found her, Xiangxiu's more and more smiles made Comrade Zhang Erzhen have a great sense of achievement, life, that's how it is.
After the tired four people had eaten and rested briefly, Zhang Erzhen took them to the big house in the west, pointed to the fiery red plush carpet and said: "I'm going to move this thing to my room, let's move this bed and pull this carpet away, this carpet is comfortable to the touch, it's a pity to be idle here." ”
"This thing looks very heavy, side concubine, the slave thinks you should live here. Jin Qiuti suggested.
"The slave maid thinks this place is not good, it looks scary and eerie, you better not live here, concubine. Yinqiu looked embarrassed: "But can we lift it, this big bed is also very heavy to look at......"
Zhang Erzhen felt that there was no problem for the four of them to carry this thing, she walked to a corner first, grabbed the pattern protrusion under the bed and lifted it vigorously, the bed moved up a few points, Xiangxiu walked to the diagonal side of Zhang Erzhen, and looked at it very easily and lifted a corner. Jin Qiu Yinqiu stopped talking when she saw it, and stood in the corners of the two beds, "I'll shout one or two, let's come together-"
"One...... , two-" Zhang Erzhen gritted the root of his teeth and began to exert himself, his hand tightly grasped the plank below and lifted it up, and the bed moved up a few inches, "Come, let's go south together--one...... , two-"
The four of them walked slowly to the south, walked more than half a zhang, and finally completely emptied the carpet, Zhang Erzhen let go of his hand first, the bed landed steadily, and shook his sore arm, Zhang Erzhen nodded proudly: "Let's call it Lizhujin, this situation, this scene, this side concubine wants to sing a song, I don't know if you are interested in listening?"
The three of them were originally tired enough, but they were interested in it in an instant, and Xiangxiu was especially excited, looking at Zhang Erzhen's eyes full of anticipation. Zhang Erzhen coughed lightly twice with some embarrassment, and originally wanted to cry twice with a loud voice, "Everyone rows the big boat" and couldn't shout out, Zhang Erzhen put her hands in fists to her lips and exhaled twice, "Nothing can make me give up my dreams, nothing can make me deviate from the direction, under the well-behaved appearance, there are a pair of passionate wings......" The lyrics are no longer remembered, but the melody is still in my heart, Zhang Erzhen sang a few words softly, and the three listeners were all unfinished with a face, "Stand Up" This song seems to be a children's song, Zhang Erzhen laughed at herself in her heart, and recently she has been more and more nostalgic for the memories of her previous life.
After singing the song and carrying the bed, the next thing is to drag the carpet away, the carpet is very large, and it is estimated that it is also very heavy, Jin Qiu sternly did not let Zhang Erzhen interfere, and pulled Yinqiu to roll the carpet one by one. The carpet is so thick that it can't be rolled at all. Zhang Erzhen stepped forward with a smile and motioned for one person to lift a corner, and fold it in half to move it out of the room. The four people with a clear division of labor struggled to lift the carpet, but found that the carpet seemed to be heavier than the bed, Zhang Erzhen touched the soft fine hair on it, put down the carpet in confusion, and circled around the carpet only to find that something was wrong, it seemed that the middle part of the carpet was nailed, "Wait, look, is there something in the middle?"
There was an inconspicuous nail in the direction of Zhang Erzhen's finger, Xiangxiu went over and saw the nail first, and gestured to get something to take this out. Zhang Erzhen nodded, walked over and bent down to check, Xiangxiu quickly took a small hoe for digging the ground, she was very skillful in turning the nail up, with a muffled sound of "pop", a long nail was pulled out.
"Here's another one. Yin Qiu, who was crouching on one side, pointed to the other and shouted.
One after another, Xiangxiu pulled out four nails on this carpet, and Zhang Erzhen was in a cold sweat when she saw it, my obedient, she dared to lie here during the day, and she was not scratched, how lucky she was.
"Concubine Fang, do you still want this blanket?" Jin Qiu looked frightened.
"Yes!" Zhang Erzhen was categorical, how could she not want to waste so much effort.
The four of them carried the carpet and finally moved it away, the dim oil lamp was not clear, Zhang Erzhen saw in a trance that there were a few cracks on the ground where the carpet was removed, and sure enough, Zhang Erzhen took a closer look, "Jin Qiu, go and get the lamp." Yinqiu, go close the door. Zhang Erzhen leaned down, touched the ground with one hand, and said incredulously: "Is there a secret room here......
Xiangxiu also saw it, she came over and squatted down, also stretched out her hand to touch the uneven ground, and then knocked tentatively, a hollow sound came, and the two looked at each other. Zhang Erzhen squatted down and knocked on it, yes, it was not real at all, the knocking sound was like a stone falling into a well, the sound was distant and empty.
Jin Qiu brought the oil lamp, and a clear light came, and Zhang Erzhen could see that the color of this piece of wood was dark, and it was slightly different from the surrounding color.
"Concubine Fang, here...... What is it? ”
"Concubine Fang, should we open it and take a look at ......"
Zhang Erzhen's expression was serious, Xiangxiu pointed outside and pointed below, waving her hand again and again, Zhang Erzhen understood what she meant, but she had already found out, if she didn't figure it out, she wouldn't be stable, would she be safe?
"It's too late today, we'll talk about it tomorrow. After Zhang Erzhen finished speaking, Xiangxiu seemed to be relieved, Zhang Erzhen commanded, and the four of them lifted the carpet back and covered it, "Lock this room later, no one is allowed to come in at night to see, if you are disobedient......
Jin Qiu and Yin Qiu shook their heads again and again, they didn't have the courage to be disobedient, Zhang Erzhen stopped talking, looking at the royal secret room that was discovered, and suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart. Xiangxiu looked at her nervously, it was already very late when the four of them left the house, except for the faint oil lamp in Jin Qiu's hand, there was no light in the night. The faint sound of Xiao in the distance was still ringing, and Zhang Erzhen asked Xiangxiu: "Has he been blowing this Xiao sound for a long time?"
Xiangxiu seemed to be nodding sadly, Zhang Erzhen looked in the direction Xiao Sheng came from, and asked again, "Do you know him?"
Xiangxiu just looked sad, didn't nod or shake her head, Zhang Erzhen didn't ask anymore, and slowly returned to her room.
"When is the bright moon, ask the wine to the sky, I don't know the heavenly palace, what year is it tonight......"
Zhang Erzhen feels that this poem is particularly in line with his current state of mind, no matter how lively it is, there will always be a little loneliness in his heart. This night, Zhang Erzhen slept very unsteadily. She dreamed again, and in the dream, she saw Zhu Youzhu again, did she miss Zhu Youzhu too much, why did she always see him in her dreams. Zhu Youji, who had long hair fluttering, stood on the edge of the cliff in a navy blue robe, with a blank look, he seemed to be talking, his mouth was open and closed, the wind was very strong, and Zhang Erzhen couldn't hear a word. Zhu Youji's face began to distort, and he looked at it with a desperate expression, and then jumped off the cliff.
"No ——!"
Zhang Erzhen woke up, cold sweat on her head. It was still dark, and the person who was playing the flute was still blowing, Zhang Erzhen looked at the hourglass in the corner of the wall, just after a moment. Zhang Erzhen's dreams always remember very clearly, Zhang Erzhen doesn't know what's going on outside now, Zhu Youji...... Is something wrong?
In this high wall, no news can come in, Cao Shun smiled when he came to deliver food today: "In the future, Lao Cao will not come, and there will be a mute old man to replace me." ”
Zhang Erzhen asked, "What happened in the Imperial City recently?"
"How do we know how far away this is? ”
Zhang Erzhen was very skeptical that he really didn't know, but Cao Shun didn't say it, and no one could do anything. Zhang Erzhen got out of bed and lit the oil lamp, and watched the wick light up the dark room. She sat cross-legged on the bed, learning to pray in Jing'an Temple and chanting "Amitabha, the Jade Emperor's mother and mother of the Buddha, bless Zhu Youzhu to bless the health and smoothness of the Zhang family, bless Zhu Youzhi health, bless Zhu Youzhi health...... " and so repeated several times, the cold sweat on her body dried up, Zhang Erzhen lay back on the bed again, and muttered before going to bed: "Don't dream anymore, don't dream anymore, Buddha bless me, don't dream about those nasty things again, um...... Have a sweet dream. ”
At this time in the capital, the old emperor spit out a mouthful of blood again, and Zhu Youji, who was kneeling in front of the dragon bed, took it with a spittoon, and then took the handkerchief held by Father-in-law Huaien and wiped the corners of the emperor's mouth, the emperor's gloomy eyes stared at Zhu Youji, and slapped Zhu Youzhi in the face, "My body is getting worse and worse, aren't you very happy! My good son, can't wait for me to die?! You, the prince, rightfully ascended the throne and killed all your brothers?!"
"Father's dragon body is important, so the son will go and call Imperial Doctor Qi over. Zhu Youji, who was slapped in the face, didn't blink his eyelids, and put down the handkerchief expressionlessly to go out.
"Stop, where are you going?" Wynne, stop the prince! I won't let him out! I won't let him out!" The emperor shouted as he coughed, anxious and nervous.
"Father, don't worry, Erchen really just went to call Imperial Doctor Qi in. Zhu Youzhu didn't stop, and soon disappeared at the door.
"This unfilial son! I want to see Ruo Concubine, bring her to me! There are also Zhu'er, and Zhu'er, I haven't seen them for a long time, where are they!" The emperor's breathing was a little short, Huai En hurriedly stepped forward and gently brushed the emperor's back, and replied softly: "The emperor is not in a hurry, if the concubine Niangniang has been infected with the wind cold recently, the queen has ordered the concubine Niangniang to guard outside, do you want to see it?"
"No!" the emperor looked extremely bored, "Give me a silver bucket, I want to suck it." ”
"But......" Wynn hesitated, and the emperor wanted to reprimand him loudly, but finally he couldn't shout out, and said in a hoarse voice: "If you don't even listen to me, what does it mean for me to be the emperor." ”
Huai En was for the emperor's good health, but when he saw the emperor's dejected appearance, he couldn't bear to stop him at the moment, so he hurriedly went to the table to get a silver bucket and lit it and handed it to the emperor......
