Bai Li Ye learned that Li Tong had brought two fresh faces into the palace, so he guessed the reason, and turned around to find Liu Luan'er.

He hadn't taken the initiative to enter Liu Luan'er's yard for a long time, even if Liu Luan'er confessed some things to him before, but he was as smart as Baili Ye, and he also understood that even if Liu Luan'er loved him, it was impossible to explain everything to him.

Like these two maids he had never seen before.

Liu Luan'er probably didn't expect Bai Liye to come to her, her face was red and white for a while, and finally she pinched the palm of her hand hard, and used the pain to temporarily restore her senses.

"Why is the general here?"

"Are you sure you're in the palace?"

Baili Ye got straight to the point.

Liu Luan'er nodded: "The concubine's people have turned over Yicheng no less than ten times, the streets and alleys, the fence tiles, and even the broken temples outside the city and the garbage heaps in the city have been rummaged through, and they still haven't been found." Except in the palace, the concubine really can't think of where else to hide. ”

If the person is really in the palace, it means that the emperor has been wary of Baili Ye a long time ago.

And the spies in the deep mountains have also been arranged several years ago.

Bai Li Ye pursed his lips, from left to right, and made a stiff arc, slightly bent downward, but his eyebrows and eyes quickly stretched, in Liu Luan'er's opinion, Bai Li Ye's expression at this time was a little contradictory, like happy, and like unhappy, the corners of his eyes revealed a little inexplicable relief, but the corners of his mouth seemed to contain some anger.

What does this mean?

Can't guess!

After a lifetime, why did she start to understand the general's mind?

Liu Luan'er raised her hand and gently knocked on the door of her head, didn't she become stupid after a lifetime?

"What do you do by knocking yourself?" Bai Li Ye came back to his senses and asked in surprise.

Liu Luan'er put down her hand: "It's nothing, has the general ever thought about it, if he is not in the palace, where will he be?" ”

"I don't know." Bai Li Ye replied quickly: "But since you have already sent someone in, you must have guessed that you can't affect Madame, you can't stay in the palace for too long, you don't have much time." ”

"The general can rest assured that Madame's life will not be in danger."

"Hmm."

Bai Li Ye nodded, and then left without saying anything.

On the way back with the queen, Li Tong was in a trance, and even began to imagine what it was like in the cold palace, and he was eager to try a few times to visit.

"That...... That mother, ......" Li Tong rubbed his hands, his eyes were dazzling, and he no longer had the fear just now.

"What does my sister want to do?"

"There's a reluctant request." Li Tong cautiously stretched out a finger.

The queen looked at her like this, lowered her head and smiled: "Want to go to the cold palace?" ”

Li Tong nodded again and again.

"It's not a good place, it's very unlucky, even people who serve in the palace all the year round are not happy to go that way, why does my sister want to go?"

"I haven't seen it, so I'm naturally curious. What's more, I heard Niangniang say so many terrible things, to be honest, I'm afraid I'm a little scared, but it's still bright this day, even if there are lonely souls and wild ghosts in the cold palace, I shouldn't dare to come out in the daytime, and I don't dare to go at night. ”

Li Tong was dancing with his hands, and he looked very curious.

"Hell, I haven't seen a ghost in my life!"

The queen opened her mouth, she had never seen a rare master like Li Tong, and she couldn't help but be a little stunned, so she sank down and looked at Li Tong carefully.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Li Tong couldn't help but restrain his demeanor.

"Shouldn't I go?"

"Not really." The queen smiled, beckoned a palace maid not far behind her, and said, "This palace is the queen after all, and it is not appropriate to go to the cold palace, so let this palace maid take my sister to have a look." ”

"Will this work?"

"It works." The queen said, and took out a token from her sleeve: "If you meet the imperial city guard, or other ignorant people, show this token, and no one will dare to stop you." ”

"That's good!"

"What's more, the cold palace is not a forbidden place, but it is colder, now that it is autumn, my sister has gone to see it, and she has satisfied her curiosity, so she will come back."

"Good, good." Li Tong responded continuously, and his mind flew to the cold palace early.

After separating from the queen, Li Tong's footsteps were indescribably relaxed, and the palace maid did not keep up with Li Tong for a while.

The cold palace is located in the middle of nowhere, the palace wall is high and deep, the more you go, the darker and darker you go, the more you go, the sun outside can't shine inside, and you cross the last palace wall, as if it has become two worlds.

One on earth and one in hell.

Li Tong stood on the middle line and took a deep breath, as if he had been cut in half by black and white.

"It's really cold!"

Li Tong smiled at the palace maid who had never spoken and had no expression, but she had a hot face and a cold buttocks, the little girl was young, and she lived like an old woman who saw through the red dust in her seventies and eighties, and nodded slightly at Li Tong, but she didn't say a word.

Li Tong touched his nose in embarrassment, stood outside the cold palace wall and didn't see anything, and then turned back and asked, "Can I go in and have a look?" ”

"Madam, there are some crazy concubines inside, I'm afraid they will collide with you, and at that time, the slaves and maids can't afford it." When the palace maid said this, her face was still cold and indifferent, without the slightest fear, and even her tone did not fluctuate, Li Tong almost thought that this was an emotionless robot.

Why are all the maids in this palace like this?

I'm afraid that the crazy concubines in this cold palace are more like people than them.

Li Tong didn't talk to her anymore, he came to a hidden courtyard gate, rolled up his sleeves and pushed gently, tilted his neck to look inside, half of the ghosts in the courtyard were nowhere to be seen, and it was so quiet that there was no insect chirping.

She waited for a long time, and pushed the door open, but saw a shadow flying quickly from the afterglow, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The concubine is crazy, she can't fly, right?

She is an atheist, and she has never believed in gods and ghosts, and most of them are caused by people.

Li Tong took a bold step inside, and when he looked back, he saw that the palace maid was standing motionless outside, as if she didn't think about following up at all.

"You're waiting outside."

"Yes."

Li Tong twitched the corners of his mouth, didn't he persuade him?

She's not really scared, okay?

Li Tong took another step inside, seeing that the palace maid really didn't intend to persuade her, so she had to go inside, the cold palace deserved to be a cold palace, and the wind blowing in the middle of the day could arouse a large number of goosebumps on her body.

The yard was full of fallen leaves, no one cleaned it, the house was dark, and I didn't know if there was anyone living there, Li Tong didn't dare to look more when he glanced inside.

There is also a dry well.

It is often heard that many palace maids and attendants who make mistakes or are jealous will be thrown into a dry well that no one cares about, and the corpses will not be found after more than ten years, and perhaps several corpses may be found in a dry well.

I don't know if there is anything in this well.

Li Tong poked his head over, and before he could see the bottom, he heard some human voices, like someone whispering, and like the sound of the wind blowing through the corridor, unclear and directionless.

"The blue sky and the white sun, either pretending to be a ghost or a physical phenomenon." Li Tong lay on the edge of the dry well and looked hard at the bottom of the pitch-black well: "And I, I believe it is the latter." ”

Seeing nothing scary, Li Tong frowned slightly and sighed regretfully.

However, when she turned around, she saw a person standing under the porch.

The man was wearing a palace dress, and he was quite familiar.

Li Tong thought for a long time, saw that the man nodded at her, then shook his head again, and then ran away quickly, leaving Li Tong at a loss for the second monk.

Who is it?

What's going on?

Speechless.

There is nothing to see in the cold palace, except for the cold point, there are also a few concubines who huddle in the room in the middle of the day and do not light the lamp, Li Tong didn't see anything, and the boss followed the palace maid unhappily and left.

And when she returned to the queen's bedroom, the two maids were already standing with Youchun, waiting there.

"Does my sister want to stay and eat?"

"No, I promised the general before I came out that I would go back to have dinner with him, next time, I'll drag the general along, okay?" Li Tong pulled a smile.

"It's okay, then the main palace will wait."

When I left the palace, I saw Huo Tong leading the team past the palace gate, and I came again about the treatment they received when they entered the palace, and I was afraid that some of the things in the palace would be unclean.

Because it is a rule, whether it is an acquaintance or not, it has to be checked, Li Tong was not angry, and let Huo Tong shoot around with the scabbard.

Looking at Huo Tong's eyes that fell on Youchun from time to time, Li Tong put away his sleeves and stood beside him, and asked casually: "The surname Huo, when will you be able to save up the dowry?" ”

When asked this, Huo Tong staggered, and asked Youchun a shudder.

Li Tong didn't take it seriously, raised his eyebrows, and asked again: "Our family is not young in spring, and at the age of flowers, we can't wait for you for three or five or seven years." ”

"Madame, don't talk about it, what are you talking about?" Youchun was so anxious to cover Li Tong's mouth, but Li Tong was easily dodged.

"I can tell you, Mrs. Ben is already showing Youchun Xiang, if you don't grasp it a little tighter, I will give Youchun to other families."

"Madame!"

Where can Huo Tong listen to this, he was anxious at the moment, and regardless of the identity, he jumped in front of Li Tong and grabbed Youchun's arm.

"Madame, don't, wait for a while to be humble, dowry...... The dowry will be ready in no time! ”

If you want to say that Huo Tong can be a person, several brothers of the Imperial City Guard in the same team immediately came up to help speak and plead, let them be lenient for a few more days, and when they heard Youchun's little face, they turned red, and they didn't care about Li Tong, they shook off Huo Tong's hand, and ran away as soon as they covered their faces.

Li Tong was in a hurry to chase Youchun, turned his head and kicked Huo Tong: "You can catch some tight young man!" ”
