Chapter 118 │ Northern Desert

When the words of the bracelet landed, Mrs. Mu also remembered and said: "Speaking of this, it was really taken away from that person, and the words of Tai Chi Ling gradually spread on the rivers and lakes......"

Yes, in the past, the Feng family was destroyed because it was rumored that the Feng family had a secret passage to the Lingshan Crypt, and then it was rumored that this Tai Chi Ling was the key to open the Lingshan Crypt, which was behind this......

Jiang Qingluo was unconsciously vigilant, in this way, this so-called eunuch must be an important person, and the eunuch who can leave the palace freely is either appointed by the emperor or purchased by the Inner Court Office, otherwise the palace rules are strict, and the gate of Jinxiao City is not easy for anyone to go out......

After eating from Mujiazhuang, Jiang Qingluo thought about going back to the palace to inquire about the past, and it was inconvenient to stay for a long time, so Mu Wuchen sent it out, and heard Ouyang Yunshu ask him: "Are you staying at home?" Come and sit with me when you have time. ”

Mu Wuchen shook his head and said: "That's it, I'm also bored at home, I want to go to the Northern Desert, and now it's a good time to go before the heavy snow closes the mountain." ”

Jiang Qingluo couldn't help but turn around and ask, "Northern Desert?" Is it the place where the desert is endless, and when you look at it from afar, it looks like snow? ”

Mu Wuchen nodded, and Ouyang Yunshu said, "It's okay for you to be distracted, but be careful all the way." ”

Jiang Qingluo looked at Mu Wuchen's silent eyes without waves, and said with some melancholy: "After the Mu Gongzi came back, someone came to report a message, so I got acquainted with each other, and I had time to go to the cold valley to drink and sit down." ”

Mu Wuchen said: "It must be just this trip I don't know when I will come back, if he needs anything in the future, I will definitely help after I come back." ”

As soon as he said goodbye to the door of Mujiazhuang, Ouyang Yunshu went back to Ouyang Villa, Jiang Qingluo and Youbang walked quietly on the street, looking at the busy traders without hurry, Jiang Qingluo pondered in her heart the northern desert where Mu Wuchen went, she had heard that the northern desert and even the northern desolate place, the sand and gravel accumulated for a long time, dry and cold in winter, such as snow, very magnificent, couldn't help but yearn for it.

Seeing that Jiang Qingluo was stunned, Yu Bang gently poked her and asked, "What's the matter, I can't bear your shepherd?" ”

Jiang Qingluo glared at the bracelet and said, "You are making fun of me again, where is my family?" I just think that place in the Northern Desert should be very magnificent, if we finish these things in the palace, how about we also go there? ”

The bracelet nodded, but he didn't buy it, this person obviously put the three words of reluctance on his face.

After returning to Fuling Palace, Jiang Qingluo still had to do business first, Wen Yu saw that noon had passed, so she came over and asked, "Miss, have you eaten at noon?" Would you like to have some snacks? ”

Jiang Qingluo shook his head and said, "No need, after eating, you will go to Mingxuantang in a while and call Kang Lu over, I have something to inquire about." ”

If you want to inquire about the eunuchs in the past, you can only ask Kang Lu now.

Wen Yu went out after hearing this, and after a while, Kang Lu came over and didn't know what Jiang Qingluo wanted to inquire, but he was a little worried, but Jiang Qingluo first let Wen Yu serve tea and said: "Kang Gonggong sit down, this palace will inquire about some things, I don't know if my father-in-law still remembers, when my father was on the throne, oh, it was probably more than ten years ago, who were the eunuchs who served by my father's side?" ”

After hearing this, Kang Lu frowned, thought for a long time, and seemed to have no clue: "More than ten years ago, the slave was still a small eunuch in the inner court, and there was nothing more to do, but at that time, there were two or three big eunuchs who served from the imperial front, and there were even more of those nameless little eunuchs, and every time the father-in-law who came to the inner court office from the emperor to order them was not a big eunuch, but the slave remembered that on the side of Emperor Devon, there was a particularly kind old man, with a white beard, and a fairy style. We all call him Grandpa Chen, and he has a good temperament, and he meets occasionally, and he talks and laughs with us. ”

"Then this Father-in-law Chen, will he often go out of the palace on weekdays?" Jiang Qingluo asked.

Kang Lu listened thoughtfully and said: "If you go out of the palace, it seems that you will go out a few times, but most of them are still serving by the side of Emperor Devon, and if you want to say that you have to go out of the palace a lot, it is Xiao Shengzi, the apprentice of Gonggong Chen, who is about the same age as a slave, but often goes out of the palace to procure." ”

Jiang Qingluo nodded thoughtfully, and learned after careful listening that Xiao Shengzi looked thoughtful and steady, according to Kang Lu's recollections, it seems that before entering the palace, the family was juggling, and his skills were good, so sometimes when government affairs were busy, Xiao Shengzi, who occasionally juggled, was very popular with Emperor Devon.

This may also be a clue, although there are thousands of eunuchs in the palace, no one will buy a lowly and cowardly little eunuch to do things for him, but he can buy the people around the emperor, but his power is not low......

If this is the case, then perhaps the person has been wiped out, and if he rashly investigates, he is afraid that he will be startled.

Generally speaking, if the lively rumors on the rivers and lakes want to be quickly forgotten or suppressed, the most effective way is to cover them up with a more sensational thing......

"Father-in-law Kang, take a look at this object first, have you seen it?"

Jiang Qingluo thought for a moment and handed the Tai Chi Order in his arms to Kang Lu, Kang Lu took it and took a closer look, and seemed to be a little puzzled: "Eldest princess, this silver brand doesn't seem to be very valuable, it feels like a long time ago, but it is well preserved, and the pattern on it is also ordinary and simple, it looks like a Tai Chi, and the slave doesn't seem to have seen this thing." ”

Jiang Qingluo took it back and said: "This thing, it was originally collected at the thrift stall when the palace went out of the palace today, I heard the vendor say that this thing was from the front palace, and there was a father-in-law in front of the palace who took it out, and the palace brought it back with a fresh picture, if it was pawned by a eunuch or palace maid who went out of the palace before, it would be fine, if it was the father's thing, I had to pay attention to ask." ”

Although Kang Lu didn't know what this brand was for, since the eldest princess took this silver brand seriously, he naturally said: "It's better like this, the eldest princess wants to inquire, if you are not in a hurry, this slave went to the people of the Imperial Ink Academy to describe the appearance, and asked around?" ”

Jiang Qingluo nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's naturally good, it's really hard for Father-in-law Kang." ”

When Kang Lu heard this, he immediately got up and said, "The slave doesn't dare, this is what the slave should do." ”

Jiang Qingluo said with a smile: "Since this is the case, you can't let Gonggong Kang be busy alone, although Aunt Zhihua was not in the palace when she was young, but her seniority is also there, this palace let her inquire with you, just follow the fate, and you don't have to be too excited." ”

When Kang Lu heard this, he retreated to the Imperial Ink Courtyard, and after tracing the appearance of the silver plaque of Shicai, he returned to Mingxuantang.
