Chapter 127: The Plan Succeeds
Concubine Shu said that she arrived near the pit dug by the guards, she just wanted to take a look, but she didn't want to accidentally fall into it, Concubine Li was startled and hurriedly went over to check.
After a period of time, Concubine Shu had a little resistance to these sudden accidents, and she was not delicate and weak, but she didn't take it seriously when she fell, and said while getting up: "It's really dangerous, if I come over again tomorrow, I won't wear palace clothes, this skirt is too inconvenient to move." ”
When she raised her head, she saw Concubine Li looking at her with a pale face, and Concubine Shu said strangely: "This pit is a little deeper, don't look at it!" Reach out and pull me up, or I'll have to sue the Queen Mother right now." ”
Lu Qingjin heard it funny and walked over and patted Concubine Li, Concubine Li's body was stiff and her expression was ugly, it didn't look like a joke at all, Lu Qingjin looked over with a straight face, and saw that the bottom of the pit where the vegetables had been removed was clean and clean, except for Concubine Shu, who was full of doubts.
She stretched out her hand and pulled Concubine Shu up: "What did you see?" Isn't this pit clean? ”
Concubine Li swallowed her saliva and said in a trembling voice: "Isn't it too flat, it's like a layer of bluestone bricks underneath, why do you say that there are bluestone bricks in such a deep place under the cold palace?" ”
Lu Qingjin didn't know anything anymore, he felt the seriousness of the matter when he heard this, and beckoned a few guards to lift the bluestone bricks underneath, and Concubine Shu's face was not very good, so she asked in a trembling voice: "What about the concubines who lived before the original princess lived in this cold palace?" Do you remember any of them? ”
Concubine Li sighed and walked to the side and sat on a stool before speaking: "Historical records record that they have all died of illness, and their bodies have been thrown outside the city, but many rumors say that the emperor at that time sought demon magic, and those women were eaten. ”
The three of them trembled when they heard this, Lu Qingjin forced himself to calm down, and the head of the guard helplessly stopped her: "Niangniang, don't look at it, there are all treated corpses underneath, and the death is very miserable." ”
Lu Qingjin pushed him away and looked at it, and the crooked corpse suddenly came into view, the corpse should have been soaked in mercury, many of them were not decomposed, but there were many traces of being eaten by rats on them, which looked very scary.
Concubine Li covered her mouth and couldn't help it, she ran outside the palace gate to vomit, Concubine Shu asked Lu Qingjin and walked out: "Niangniang, or let's change places and farm!" It's too unlucky here, although the corpse is buried deeply, but the things that are planted are inevitably taboo. ”
Lu Qingjin also shook his head helplessly: "What you said makes sense, forget it here!" I'll find another place to farm, but it's too strange, so I still have to tell the emperor. ”
After this incident, Concubine Shu and Concubine Li lost interest, and left with a confession, and Lu Qingjin also walked absent-mindedly.
Qin Zhao looked at Lu Qingjin, who didn't belong to his thoughts, and frowned: "You have already arrived here, and you are still distracted, what is it to say it to see if I can share your worries for you?" ”
Lu Qingjin realized that she had unconsciously walked near the imperial study, she smiled and walked into the imperial study to find a stool to sit down: "It's not a big deal, how about the destruction of gunpowder by Zhang Dequan that you arranged?" ”
Qin Zhao laughed when he heard this: "It's already done, before you know it, Zhao Yunheng and Charity's gunpowder are no longer available, if there is no accident, the general will go back to investigate tomorrow morning, and then he will be able to arrest them all back, and the situation in the capital will slowly stabilize." ”
Lu Qingjin inexplicably felt that this matter would not end so easily, but she didn't speak if she didn't have any better opinions, Qin Zhao saw that she was a little uneasy and asked, "What's wrong with you?" From just now but now it's not quite right, is there something wrong in the palace again? ”
Lu Qingjin let go of the uneasiness in his heart and said: "It's that the dishes in the cold palace were stolen, and I sent someone over to find a lot of rats, and then ......"
Qin Zhao took a sip of tea and answered lightly: "Then you found a lot of corpses, right?" ”
Lu Qingjin snorted and shouted, "How do you know? Could it be that this is a ghost you made, not a person from the previous dynasty? ”
Qin Zhao gently patted her back and sighed, "What are you thinking!" That's really the person in front, but I know part of it, but I didn't expect it to be in the cold palace, I thought it was under the imperial study, otherwise I wouldn't have given you the cold palace to farm. ”
Lu Qingjin really couldn't bear it anymore, she stood up and turned around a few times and said irritably: "What the hell is going on?" You make it clear, do you know that there are innocent and tragic women in it! ”
Qin Zhao gently hugged her and comforted: "Okay, I know, you calm down, that is a ridiculous thing done by the emperor of the previous dynasty, he thinks that killing two hundred women can prevent the destruction of the country, what you see is what he left." ”
Lu Qingjin let out a long sigh, I don't know if Emperor Yan's bloodline is too sensitive, she seems to be able to feel the resentment of those women before they die when she sees the corpses in the soil, and she can't control her temper for a while.
Qin Zhao saw that she had calmed down and spoke again: "Originally, I wanted to get these corpses out, but I didn't know the specific location at all, and the treasury was too empty, so such a big project would definitely not work in a short period of time." ”
Lu Qingjin gently leaned his head on Qin Zhao's shoulder and said a little tiredly: "I know what you said, you just need to look at it, but this cold palace really can't be farmed, and I want to have a use tomorrow, and I can't always be empty." ”
Qin Zhao nodded, and for a while, the two of them were speechless, and Xiao Fuzi whispered outside the door: "The Qinglan girl outside the door of Emperor Qiqi asks to see her." ”
Lu Qingjin was stunned for a moment before he spoke: "Isn't Qinglan in my palace?" What are you doing here? ”
Qinglan walked in and said flatly: "Today, the girl has entered the palace, but she didn't know what was wrong, she went crazy, and said that there was a problem in the palace, so she had to leave the palace, but now that the palace door has been closed, the slave and maid really have no choice." ”
Lu Qingjin then remembered that there was a little girl who was rescued from the victims, sighed and followed Qinglan, and stopped again after two steps: "I don't know if it's an illusion, I always feel that things won't go well tomorrow, the emperor must be careful, Zhao Yunheng is not easy to get along with." ”
