Chapter 6: Night Detective
There is another thing that Zi Dai is very afraid of. The princess's sword, which is a specially practiced sword, has no blades. But the princess had to get a very sharp sword or knife. That day, Zidai saw that the princess had made a kitchen knife, and she was alone in the house with a whetstone to sharpen it for a long time.
To sum up, Zidai came to a conclusion. The princess is holding back something big.
Jing Yuzhao was holding a copy of "Five Elements Bagua" to study. Zixuan, who was sent out by Jing Yuzhao, came back from outside.
Jing Yuzhao waved his hand to let the others stand back.
Before Zixuan entered the palace, she opened a martial arts hall at home. She has been learning martial arts with her father since she was a child. It's just that later the family suffered, and she was the only one left to die. In the end, he was selected to the palace. Life in the palace is not easy. Jing Yuzhao had some kindness to her, and also transferred her to be a palace maid.
"Princess, the slave has figured it out. There are few guards on duty in the cold palace. In the first half of the night, about a pillar of incense and a team of guards passed by. In the second half of the night, two pillars of incense and a team of guards passed by. ”
Jing Yuzhao felt that God helped me. But my heart is up and down. In case you encounter a bad guy inside, there is a good chance that you will die inside. It could be a satisfying harvest, or it could be a point of no return. But no matter what, she had to break through.
"Princess, the slave and maid should go in with you, so that there will be a care."
Jing Yuzhao shook his head, "You have to answer the palace outside." ”
"Zidai is steady, and it is okay to answer outside."
"Zidai wants to disguise herself as this palace in the Wuyuan. Once the palace can't come back, you will go as promised. ”
"Princess!" Zixuan wanted to wake up the princess. The so-called gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, the princess is just the opposite, risking her own life.
"Zixuan, time is running out. The wind of the front and back harem has gradually risen, and we must be strong ourselves. My intuition tells me that my biological mother's death was not an accident. If that's the way you want, there's one more hole card. ”
If it's a secret tunnel, where does it lead? If it is outside the imperial city, then many things are very convenient.
In order to go smoothly, Jing Yuzhao chose the day on the sixth night of the new year. After the Tianqing Chinese New Year's Eve Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, His Majesty sealed the pen and officially took a holiday. The first day of the new year is mainly a sacrificial event. The second day of junior high school is the day to visit relatives and friends. Today is the third day of the new year. On the seventh day of the first lunar month, the guards in the palace have also returned to normal, and the patrols will be more intensive.
The sixth day of the first lunar month should be a good day, and Qin Tianjian also said that it would snow heavily that day. By the way, sharpen your knives in the middle of the night.
Concubine Li listened to Qinyu's report, and the corners of her lips couldn't stop laughing. Concubine Xian really ate the secret recipe. Then the next step is to get your hands on the secret recipe. It's not that easy, though. Concubine Xian has been operating in the palace for many years, and it is difficult to start. Recently, due to pregnancy, the entire Huaqing Palace is more like an iron bucket.
Concubine Li whispered a few words in Qinyu's ear. After listening to the piano, he hurriedly went out.
Time always flies. Jing Yuzhao staged a deep sisterhood with Xu Ruoqing in Huaqing Palace.
Xu Ruoqing had a face that was very similar to Concubine Xian. Both of them also boast that they are proficient in piano, chess, and calligraphy. However, Xu Ruoqing is indeed a famous talented woman in the capital, and her poems are very popular with some elegant sons. Jing Yuzhao suddenly remembered something. It seems that Xu Ruoqing and Gu Jue have decided to kiss the baby.
Concubine Xian was sleepy and rested, and only the two of them remained.
Jing Yuzhao took a bite of the orange, rolled his eyes and said, "By the way, my cousin is the same age as Bengong, and she is not young." I've been engaged for so long, when are I going to get married? ”
Xu Ruoqing's nails were inserted into the flesh of the orange, splashing a little juice and squinting his eyes.
"You did it on purpose. I know that the sick seedling doesn't know when he will die. ”
Jing Yuzhao frowned, "It seems very bad for my cousin to curse others during the New Year." Besides, if he dies, aren't you Kefu? ”
Xu Ruoqing was completely angry, and pushed away the palace maid who wiped her hands with a handkerchief, "Jing Yuzhao, don't go too far." I won't marry him. ”
Jing Yuzhao felt sympathy for Gu Jue, who had made an oath with him. Looks so good, and is disgusted like this. The two of them had similar tempers, and they didn't speculate for more than half a sentence, Jing Yuzhao left Huaqing Palace early.
When Jing Yuzhao left, Xu Ruoqing's anger did not subside. So much so that when I went back to the Hou Mansion and had a big fight with Mrs. Xu. Mrs. Xu was not willing either. But that was set by my grandfather and the old marquis Gu back then. It's just that I didn't expect a good world, but he was a short-lived ghost. That mother died too early.
Xu Ruoqing was angry and threw Mrs. Xu's blue and white porcelain vase out directly.
"Oh, my ancestors! That's a thousand taels of silver. ”
"I've heard it all. Gu Houye didn't like Gu Jue at all, and wanted to give Gu Yan the position of the world. I don't want to marry him, I don't want to die. ”
Mrs. Xu hugged the little ancestor, "There must be a way, don't worry, you will definitely be able to come up with a perfect plan." ”
"As soon as possible, not delayed."
Mrs. Xu compromised and nodded hurriedly. finally coaxed the angry Xu Ruoqing.
Tonight is really a good day, only for some people, of course. The sky was black and oppressive, and the moon and stars went home to sleep, leaving only a heavy snowfall.
The time has passed. Zidai, who was full of reluctance, was forced by Jing Yuzhao to change into Jing Yuzhao's clothes. Then lie down on the bed and cover it with a quilt.
Jing Yuzhao and Zixuan changed into night clothes and prepared to go to the cold palace when the guards changed the guard.
Zi Dai was extremely uneasy, "Princess, the slave and maid will go with you." ”
Jing Yuzhao stuffed her head into the quilt, "You can pretend to be in the palace." You are not good at kung fu, you can't make trouble. ”
Zi Xuan felt the princess's eyes kill through the quilt, and suddenly hated why she didn't learn kung fu with Zi Xuan at that time.
The hour has come. Jingyu Zhao and Zixuan entered the night.
Zixuan stood guard outside the door. Jing Yuzhao prepared his things, moved the bed, and knocked on the wall. It does look like it's empty. Hands groping for the wall. Finally, in the gap between the wall and the ground, I felt a black button the size of a thumb.
This button is also too small. It's the size of a little finger. Jing Yuzhao turned clockwise, but he couldn't move. I turned it counterclockwise again, but it still didn't open. I twisted it back and forth a dozen times, but there was no response.
On such a cold day, Jing Yuzhao's forehead was full of sweat.
Jing Yuzhao held on to the bed frame to catch his breath, looked at the little button, the more he looked at it, the more angry he became, he stepped on it and ran it over a few times. Because the button was in the gap, Jing Yuzhao touched his toes, and there was a piercing pain.
With a creak, the wall opened. Jing Yuzhao opens his mouth wide! Who invented this? Sure enough, on the ground, you have to step on it hard.
Jing Yuzhao dodged in. The walls were restored to their original state.
It's pitch black inside, and it's not spacious. Jing Yuzhao's height of six or five meters has to bend over. Lighting the candles prepared in advance, Jing Yuzhao finally saw the surroundings clearly. A dark passage about half a meter wide, surrounded by dirt. It was not at all the same as the stone underground palace that Jing Yuzhao had expected.
