Chapter 289: The Source of Hot Springs

Lu Qingjin didn't know that the twists and turns took Xiao Si all the way over, the Yuquan Palace is now full of water vapor, even in the midsummer weather, people can feel the heat rushing to their faces, Lu Qingjin was choked by the water vapor and took a few steps back and said helplessly: "I remember when I came a few days ago, it was still good, why did it become like this today?" Haven't the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs come here yet? ”

Concubine Xian ran out of it sweating profusely, and replied while fanning the wind: "Who knows! This matter is like the source of the hot spring has increased the amount of water, and the people from the Internal Affairs Office have come a few times and there is no way, Concubine Li has just fainted, it is really not possible to go on like this! If this hot spring continues to expand, let alone Concubine Li's body, even we can't stand it. ”

Lu Qingjin took a few steps back helplessly, and before he could speak, he heard a little eunuch running out of it and said with a sad face: "Niangniang, forgive your sins!" This is not a problem in the palace at all, and we are helpless, so it seems that we can only go to the nearby mountains to find the source of this hot spring and see if we can solve it. It's just that if this is the case, this side can only be empty first, and the nearby palace will have to be cleaned up and prepared. ”

Lu Qingjin looked left and right, basically all of them were gorgeous palaces, many of which were painted with gold paint, if they were washed away, not to mention how sorry it was, it would cost a lot of silver to rebuild them in the future, thinking of this, Lu Qingjin gritted his teeth and asked, "Do you know where the source of this hot spring is?" ”

The little eunuch's eyes lit up and he nodded again and again: "I know, I know!" The source of this hot spring is eight achievements on the back mountain, if the mother wants to sit on the sedan chair, it is only half an hour. ”

Concubine Xian stepped forward and scolded sharply: "You slave is talking more and more unruly, how many years have no one gone up the mountain, how dare you let the queen go with you?" ”

The little eunuch hurriedly knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty, Lu Qingjin glanced at him and sighed and said slowly: "These people usually haven't read books, even if there is anything on the back mountain, it is difficult for them to solve, our palace is just a little rich now, and it really can't withstand the destruction of this hot spring, and there will be no danger in the palace left and right, so I'll just go and see." ”

Concubine Xian whispered a little anxiously: "The back mountain is really unsafe, let's say that we have controlled the palace, but in fact, it is only a small place, most of them are old palaces left by the previous dynasty, not to mention any snakes, insects, rats and ants, just the institutions that we don't know about the back mountain are worth worrying." ”

Lu Qingjin patted her hand and didn't speak anymore, just asked someone to prepare the sedan chair, Concubine Xian hesitated for a while, and waited until the sedan chair came before she said fiercely: "This matter Concubine Li handed over to me, and I am usually responsible for the affairs of the palace, saying that I can't let the queen take this risk, let's go!" ”

Lu Qingjin smiled warmly and walked into the carriage by himself: "You have already seen just now, this little eunuch is not an ordinary palace person at all, I don't know which side sent it, there must be a reason for asking me to go to the back mountain, but no matter where people don't want me to die in the palace now, you don't have to worry." ”

Concubine Xian thought for a long time or got on the sedan chair, the four sedan chair men swayed and carried the sedan chair up the back mountain, Concubine Xian was very nervous all the way, the handkerchief in her hand was about to tear, Lu Qingjin looked at the scenery outside the window and said lightly: "You can rest easy!" The person who asked us to come here will definitely not be Zhao Yunheng, as long as it is not him, we will not be in danger, at most, my aunt has something strange to tell me. ”

It seemed that thinking of Simin'an's kind attitude towards them, Concubine Xian's mood was obviously much better, and she leaned on the edge of the sedan chair a little tiredly and said: "I just entered the palace as a concubine who eats and waits for death, but I didn't expect so many things to happen, if I have a choice, I will definitely stay in my palace and not come out, so that I don't have to manage official business, and I will be frightened every day." ”

Lu Qingjin looked at her with some amusement and said helplessly: "You are an interesting person, when you have no rights, you cry and calculate to get it in your hands, but now you have power, but you are like a snake and scorpion, I really haven't seen a person like you." ”

Concubine Xian sneered, and as she walked down, the sedan chair that had stopped for a while and said lightly: "Young and careless!" It's too late to regret it now, so let's stop talking nonsense, let's find the source of the hot springs as soon as possible! ”

The little eunuch came over in a hurry again, and said in a flattering tone: "The two ladies are going to wander around here!" Just teach the minions some rough work, and we'll speed it up. ”

After saying that, he bowed and left, it seemed that he was not here to do coolies, but to find treasures, and he was very happy, Lu Qingjin raised his eyebrows and hammered his legs, which sat on the ground, and said helplessly: "It seems that we are really fooled, everyone is happy to be like this, you can also sit down and rest!" I can't run away from standing there for a while. ”

Concubine Xian rolled her eyes, walked around unwillingly, looked for her unwilling to be lonely, and replied, "What do you know? It's been deserted around here for a long time, if we encounter anything here, let alone run away, or shout for help, the people in the palace can't hear it, even if I'm lying on my stomach, it's useless, now I can only hope that your aunt will be kind to you. ”

Lu Qingjin sat for a while and was a little bored, so he took Concubine Xian to wander around, and after a while, Concubine Xian suddenly stopped and said softly: "Have you smelled any strange smell, it seems to be getting stronger and stronger." It can't be a drug, right? Is there anything you can do? ”

Lu Qingjin looked at the rustling leaves on the side and patted the overly nervous Concubine Xian a little helplessly: "We can only be at ease now, I don't have anything to do, and this smell is obviously the reason why the fragrance of flowers is getting bigger and bigger, it should be blown by the wind, but this fragrance is very familiar and smells good, let's go over and take a look!" ”

Concubine Xian followed behind with some reluctance, breaking the branches blocking the road along the road, and muttering: "Hasn't the flower room in the palace been restored a long time ago?" Where are there so many flowers and plants, what is there to see in this deep mountain and old forest? If someone finds out, will we be killed? How are you doing martial arts, can you save me? Or if I die, you can resurrect me, although it hurts a little but I can bear it. ”
