Chapter 31: Preparation

Shen Yan saw the layout of the hall in his eyes, simple and simple, there were no superfluous things, and even the dresser only had two small doors, compared to the layout in the other garden, it was not a little worse.

There was a bronze mirror on the dresser, and the dressing box painted with gold lacquer was not locked, so it was half-hidden, but with the dejected appearance of the Qingsi Palace, there would be no valuable treasures in this box.

"Let's plan slowly."

Shen Yan comforted Xiaoxing. Standing here and looking, there are traces of Kanghe's life everywhere, she grew up here, and experienced the hardships of life here, from the pearl of the first emperor to the down-and-out emperor of today, and then to being assassinated and scheming!

I wonder what kind of state of mind she was in when she finally died?

"Okay. Emperor Ji, you stay here first, I'll go to the Shanggong Bureau to ask for some new bedding or something, it's all moldy, but it can't be used. ”

Xiaoxing plucked up confidence after a short loss, and her bright appearance also infected Shen Yan. At this time, the most worrying thing is indeed the bedding problem. It's cold at night in late autumn, and if you don't cover the quilt, you're afraid you'll get cold.

"You go, do you know how to go to the Shanggong Bureau?"

Shen Yan said with some embarrassment. Wang Huanzhi taught her many things in the palace, but he did not give her the map.

Unexpectedly, Xiaoxing raised his chin proudly and said with a smile: "I memorized the map of this Daming Palace early in the morning." His Royal Highness has only a few requirements for me, how can Xiaoxing not do a good job. ”

Sure enough, Wang Huanzhi put Xiaoxing in an important position very early.

After entering the palace, she dealt with various palaces and divisions, and Xiaoxing appeared as a personal female official, which was more suitable than her.

It was almost dusk outside, and in the gap between Xiao Xing's departure to the Shang Palace Bureau, Shen Yan began to clean up the Qingsi Palace. There had been no one living here for a long time, and she swept it with a duster, and swept the dust in the hall one after another.

Sweep it down, and you'll have a fresh beginning.

The secrets hidden under the dust of the years will eventually be discovered.

According to Shen Yan's conjecture, her sudden appearance in the palace city will inevitably cause panic among the people behind the scenes, and the dead Kang and Emperor Ji will reappear, and this news is enough to make that person unable to sleep.

Kang He secretly didn't know how much she had suffered in the palace, and now that she is back, she naturally wants to be taken care of by this group of people.

When Xiao Xing came back empty-handed, Shen Yan didn't have many surprises.

"What do they say?"

In order to make it easier to work, Shen Yan tied the big sleeves of the robe behind him with his arms, and at this moment, the dusk suddenly rose, revealing that his arms were a little cold.

As soon as she opened her mouth to ask, Xiao Xing complained with red eyes, "They are all bad people, and they actually said that the emperor Ji asked for a lot of things from the Shanggong Bureau every month, and she had already surpassed Yu Lu, and now where can I give me the quilt again." ”

"The emperor's monthly salary is five thousand, how can I spend so much?"

Shen Yan said mockingly. 5,000, that's not a small number! She really didn't expect those female officials to dare to do something in the emperor's house. In the middle of the past five years, dozens of months of monthly income, I'm afraid it's all in their pockets!

even said that in the years before Kang He's death, he was detained!

"That's right, but that old woman just bit the emperor flower. He even took out a stack of bills with all kinds of strange things written in them. Said that these were all received by the emperor! Xiaoxing was harassed in the Shanggong Bureau, and at this time she looked angry and looked at Shen Yan aggrieved.

Shen Yan put down the duster in his hand and pondered for a few moments.

She didn't understand much in this palace, but since ancient times, the emperor and the prince are the main body of imperial power, and the emperor is just an extension of imperial power. Kang He was favored in the previous dynasty, but he was bullied in the present dynasty, and behind it was the change of the throne.

Within this palace, there is only one monarch, the emperor.

If she wants to have a better life as an emperor, she must first rely on the emperor's backer. Relying on his own father in the previous dynasty, Kang He grew up happily to the age of ten. Now that this emperor is too busy to take care of himself, where can he still take care of his sister?

"There should be a Taoist temple in Daming Palace, you have seen the map, do you remember where it is?"

Xiao Xing was stunned for a moment, thought about it, and said affirmatively: "The Sanqing Palace is in the northeast corner of the Daming Palace, if we want to go there, why will we have to walk for more than half an hour." ”

Shen Yan narrowed her eyes, and somewhat understood why Wang Huanzhi sent Xiaoxing into the palace, for her, Xiaoxing was a mobile map navigation.

"Since there is no clean quilt, tonight, let's go to the Sanqing Hall together." Shen Yan said, and began to draw a big pie of planning in his heart.

Although the emperor is in power outside, he is still absolutely noble in the palace. If you want to get out of the endgame, you must take advantage of it.

After the two discussed, while the sky was still bright, they were going to clean the palace briefly, so that it would not look like they had not lived in it for many years.

Cleaning to the apse, I pushed open a small door, and behind the door was a small cubicle, and the bare walls were not arranged, but there was a box in the middle. The box was locked and wrapped in gold rivets at the corners, which looked like something more important.

"Emperor, what is this?" Xiao Xing heard Shen Yan's movement here, hurriedly came over, and saw Shen Yan standing outside the narrow door, and curiously followed her line of sight, it was actually a box.

Shen Yan shook his head and said, "I don't know what it is, why don't we open it up and take a look together." ”

Speaking slowly, but moving quickly, the two put down the dusters in their hands and entered the cubicle together.

The copper lock on the box was firm and a little green, Shen Yan opened it a few times, then pulled out the tassel hairpin on the bun, stretched it into the lock cylinder and tried it, and opened it with a bang.

"Emperor Ji can also pick the lock?"

Xiao Xing stretched out her little hand and clapped, looking at Shen Yan with some surprise, only to see her purse her lips and smile, and said, "I always lost the key before, and I practiced." ”

After that, as soon as the lid of the box was lifted, both of them were stunned.

Inside the huge box was only a set of gorgeous clothes and heads, delicate and luxurious, woven with gold and jade, and still brilliant in the faint sunlight of the compartment. Since it is placed in the small compartment of the Qingsi Palace, it should be Kanghe's thing.

I don't know if it's a hallucination, Shen Yan always feels that there is a smell of Du Ruo in this box......

"It's so beautiful, Emperor Ji, look at the filigree on this step, and the red agate that is falling, the color is really good." Xiaoxing was delighted and said that she had never seen such a luxurious dress and head.

The dress was neatly stacked in a box, embroidered with gold on a red fabric and embellished with small pearls. The lotus crown is inlaid with three rubies, six sapphires, and six gold foil pendants with the crown, using pearl agate turquoise kyanite, and the bottom is a glass leaf!

"This should be a dress, let's put it first, we have more important things to do tonight."

Shen Yan closed the box, his eyes changed from casual to calm. After entering the palace, all the past and secrets will come to the surface!
