Chapter 166: Ye Lingxi discovers the secret passage of the Jun'an Kingdom's palace
Since Concubine Jia's birthday banquet, Ye Lingxi's mental state has gradually recovered. Xingliu Palace has also gradually regained its former vitality.
Xingchen happily prepares all kinds of new things for Ye Lingxi every day, and tries his best to make Ye Lingxi happy.
Without the scruples of the fetus in the womb, Ye Lingxi's activities are more colorful, and every rockery in the palace of Jun'an Kingdom has traces of Ye Lingxifei playing on his body.
The harem concubines have no extra movement for the time being, and after seeing the queen's methods, most of the concubines dare not act rashly.
The emperor favors the queen to the point of letting the queen judge the promotion of concubines, who dares to provoke the queen again? !
Of course, there were also a few concubines who wanted to be close to Ye Lingxi, and they came to Xingliu Palace with gifts to ask for a meeting. But before he saw Ye Lingxi, he was sent away by Xingchen.
The queen doesn't like the concubines to ask for peace, and the stars will not give them a chance to provoke Ye Lingxi's beautiful mood.
As for Yu Wenyin, he has to be busy with the state affairs of Jun'an Country and the endgame of the Thousand Poison Gate, and he is so busy every day that he has no time to find Ye Lingxi to cultivate his feelings, let alone take care of Ye Lingxi's activities. Anyway, in the palace, Yuwen Yin will just toss Ye Lingxi.
On this day, Ye Lingxi only brought Xingchen alone, and wandered around the palace of Jun'an Kingdom, and after strolling, he came to the cold palace.
The cold palace of Jun'an Kingdom is empty, and no one has lived in it for a long time. Fallen leaves covered the entire courtyard, and the room was full of dust and cobwebs.
"Queen Mother, this is a cold palace, no one cleans it all year round, it's too dirty, we ......"
Just as Xingchen wanted to persuade Ye Lingxi to leave the cold palace, Ye Lingxi interrupted Xingchen's words.
"Let's go in and have a look! Walk! ”
After Ye Lingxi finished speaking, he raised his legs and stepped in, and Xingchen had no choice but to follow.
Ye Lingxi didn't know why, she was suddenly very curious about this cold palace, as if she would find something new here.
Maybe it's a kind of destinedness......
Ye Lingxi unconsciously walked to the study where the entrance to the secret passage of the Jun'an Kingdom Palace was located.
Except for the dusty and gloomy atmosphere, this study is no different from an ordinary study.
"There is even a study room in the cold palace, it seems that it is to add some entertainment activities to the people who live in the cold palace!"
"The queen doesn't know that this lady who lives in the cold palace is not raised by the court for nothing. They need to copy Buddhist scriptures all day and pray for the blessing of the country, so that they can get food, otherwise, they will starve. This study is used for copying Buddhist scriptures. ”
The corners of Ye Lingxi's mouth twitched slightly, this ancient woman's status was so low that it was pitiful, wasn't it just divorce...... Not to mention leaving the house, from now on I will be imprisoned and working for the rest of my life, so it is better to die.
"Queen Mother, there's nothing interesting in this cold palace, let's go quickly."
Xingchen urged Ye Lingxi to see the stitches, the cold palace was very depressed, it was easy to make people feel dull, Xingchen had been carefully taking care of Ye Lingxi's mood, for fear that one day if he was not careful, Ye Lingxi would change back to the taciturn state before.
"Ah, Xingchen, what are you anxious about! I think it's pretty good here, clean up, it should be a relatively elegant palace. ”
Xingchen looked at Ye Lingxi as if he was thinking about how to dress up the cold palace, as if he was planning to live in, and he was immediately frightened.
"Eh, my queen mother, what are you doing in this cold palace, if you are not satisfied with anything in the Xingliu Palace, the slave will immediately modify it according to your preferences. This cold palace is not where you should live! ”
"If I move in one day, let's familiarize myself with the terrain first."
"The emperor loves the queen so much, how can there be such a day......"
Ye Lingxi looked east and west, and answered the stars while watching.
"That's hard to say...... Haven't you heard of it?! ”
As he was talking, Ye Lingxi noticed a piece of porcelain on the bookshelf.
It stands to reason that porcelain on the shelves is a normal thing. However, Ye Lingxi still saw something abnormal from this normality.
The reason is very simple, the position of the porcelain is not scientific.
Normally, porcelain is placed on the bookshelf only for decoration, and it is usually placed in a relatively high place and a corner position to prevent it from being accidentally broken when picking up the book.
This piece of porcelain is completely different, it is in the middle of the shelf, as if it is not afraid of accidentally touching the floor.
Moreover, on the entire shelf, there is only this one piece of porcelain, and there are no other items.
If the study of the cold palace has been idle, so the things on the shelves have been removed, then why is only this piece of porcelain left here......
Intuition told Ye Lingxi that this piece of porcelain was strange.
"Xingchen, you go back to Xingliu Palace first, call a few palace maids and eunuchs, and come here to clean up."
"Huh? Queen Mother, what are you doing cleaning this cold palace? ”
"Don't worry, I won't come to live here, but the people who offended me, I'm going to send them in."
Ye Lingxi raised her eyebrows at Xingchen, hinting at Xingchen that she would take action to rectify Concubine Xuan and the nobles.
The stars knew it, and they ran back to the Xingliu Palace.
Actually, Ye Lingxi didn't really want to send Concubine Xuan and noble Yi to the cold palace, she just wanted to temporarily break away from the stars.
Although Xingchen treats her sincerely, he still can't rule out the possibility that he will report to Yu Wenyin.
After opening the stars, Ye Lingxi checked her surroundings again and again, and after making sure that no one else was secretly staring at her, she closed the door of the cold palace study and stretched out her hand to touch the porcelain.
As expected, the porcelain would not have been able to pick up if it had been glued to the bookshelf.
No wonder you don't worry about falling to the ground......
Ye Lingxi's eyes rolled, how could this kind of small mechanism stump her witty! I saw her rotate the porcelain slightly, and sure enough, a small door slowly opened on the wall next to the bookshelf.
Ye Lingxi took a candle and tentatively walked towards the depths of the secret passage. While observing the situation in the secret passage, Ye Lingxi had to pay attention to the situation in the study at all times, and he had to return to the study before Xingchen came back, and everything would return to its original state.
The secret passage was cold and silent, just a narrow passage, and there was nothing superfluous.
As he walked, Ye Lingxi suddenly found that there seemed to be a faint light in the distance.
Could it be that there is someone in this secret passage?!
Ye Lingxi held his breath and carefully felt the breath in the secret passage, but except for Ye Lingxi's own breath in the secret passage, there was no breath of other creatures.
So, what's going on with that glimmer of light?!
At this time, Xingchen had already led a group of subordinates to the cold palace and began to arrange the task of sprinkling and sweeping.
Ye Lingxi heard Xingchen's voice with her internal force, and reason told her that she must return to the study immediately and close the entrance to the secret passage. However, the light in front of her was too attractive to Ye Lingxi, which made her really curious, and she didn't want to explore.
Without any hesitation, Ye Lingxi quickened his pace and walked to the source of the light, and found that the source of the light turned out to be a glow-in-the-dark jade pendant.
The jade pendant lay quietly in the corner of the dark passage, silently emitting its unique delicate light.
Ye Lingxi squatted down and picked up the jade pendant. She found that on the jade pendant, there was a word "殇" written on it.
Die young? Martyrdom?
Xingchen's voice was getting closer and closer, Ye Lingxi didn't have time to think about it, put the jade pendant in the pocket of his chest, and quickly returned to the study, turning the porcelain, and restoring the wall.
When all this was done, Xingchen just pushed the door and entered the study.
It's dangerous......
"Queen Mother, the servants have been looking for you, and the subordinates have already begun to sprinkle and sweep, and they will soon be able to clean up the cold palace."
"Okay, then let them work first, and the two of us will go back to Xingliu Palace first."
Ye Lingxi pretended to be casual and led Xingchen to leave first.
In fact, Ye Lingxi's heart was turbulent, and he was not calm at all.
Ever since he saw the word "mourning" on the jade pendant, Ye Lingxi's heart always felt a little blocked, as if something important was about to break out of the cocoon.
Ye Lingxi was sure that the jade pendant must not be simple, and it was very likely to be a token of the Martyr people.
However, why did the tokens of the Martyrs appear in the secret passages of the Jun'an Palace, and what entanglements had occurred between the Martyrs and the Jun'an Imperial Family?
Ye Lingxi returned to Xingliu Palace with a lot of concern, locked himself in the room alone, took out the jade pendant, and observed it carefully.
The workmanship of the jade pendant is very exquisite, and the carving of the word "殇" is also very exquisite. When you hold that jade pendant in your hand, you can feel the cold breath, which makes people feel comfortable all over.
This jade pendant is obviously not a vulgar thing.
What's more, luminous stones are already very rare in this dynasty, and the luminous stones needed to polish such a jade pendant need to be a little larger.
The Martyrs have a unique geographical location and abundant natural resources, and if they have large pieces of luminous stones that are not available in the outside world, it can also be explained.
The appearance of this jade pendant made Ye Lingxi suddenly have a great sense of responsibility for recovering the Martyrs, and she even felt that in this world, there must be other Martyrs people, perhaps, doing the same thing.
However, Ye Lingxi believes that there are two things that are most important now. The first is to determine whether you are a martyr or not. The second is to find the other descendants of the Martyrs.
Ye Lingxi thought of Chu Yunxi, she planned to find an opportunity to ask Yuwen Yin to allow her to go out of the palace alone, and then go back to Yunxi Village, find her master, and show this jade pendant and the two books hidden before to her master.
However, such an opportunity is very difficult to find, and Yuwen Yin will most likely not agree to Ye Lingxi leaving the palace alone.
Just when Ye Lingxi was at a loss, news came from outside the palace that something happened to the Xixi Pottery Museum!
