Two hundred and six, Emperor Wang's secret road
Two hundred and six, Emperor Wang's secret road
"Your Majesty, the old slave has discovered the secret passage of the cold palace!" Gonggong Zheng walked in breathlessly. Update the fastest to go to the eye quickly Ling left and right to retreat, and said excitedly to Emperor Wang.
"What do you say? Is there a secret passage in the cold palace? Emperor Wangdi looked at him in disbelief, his eyes widened in shock, and it took a while for his expression to return to normal.
"Yes, the emperor, the old slave has always wondered how the two weak women of the master and servant of the Lancai people escaped from the harem to avoid the heavy prison guards, so they thought that there might be something strange in the cold palace. Yesterday, I secretly asked people to clean up the ruins of the cold palace, and found that there was a collapsed brick and tile near the gate that could not be dug up, and then a big pit was dug down, but it was still not finished, it looked like the houses were not all down, but it seemed that someone deliberately filled it, and it kept people digging down......"
Emperor Wangdi seemed to gradually understand, and asked uneasily: "What did you find when you dig down?" ”
"Back to the emperor, I dug down for nearly two meters before digging out all the waste bricks and tiles, etc., the old slave was afraid that the guards would show the news, so he went down to check by himself, only to find that there was a tunnel next to the pit, and there were some footprints, as if someone had been moving around recently, I wanted to check, and I was afraid that the guards would show the news. I didn't dare to explore it again, and lied to them that this was originally the cellar of the Cold Palace, and the Cold Palace was buried by broken bricks after the fire. Please tell the emperor what the old slave should do next? ”
Emperor Wangdi couldn't recover from this shocking news for a long time, the founding monarch dug a secret road in the palace just in case, which was passed down from generation to generation to the heir to the throne, and others had no right to know, which Emperor Wangdi knew well, and he also knew that there was a secret road in the palace leading to the outside of the capital.
I just never dreamed that there was another secret passage in the cold palace, and Lan Xi was discovered by mistake, and he escaped from it. Emperor Wangdi believed that Lanxi was definitely discovered by mistake, because no one would have thought that there was a secret passage in the Cold Palace.
And there are clear footprints in this secret road, it must have been left by someone who walked around recently, except for the unaccounted for the master and servant of Lanxi, who else could there be?
He decided that he must go to investigate to see if what Gonggong Zheng said was true, and then see if this secret passage could lead there, maybe he could find out some clues to find out the whereabouts of Lanxi.
Even if she can't find anything, it's not bad to walk through this secret passage from which Lanxi is likely to escape and feel her mood at that time.
"Gonggong Zheng, tonight's third watch, take Zhu Guard, and go with me to explore the secret Dao, you prepare!"
Gonggong Zheng was afraid that Emperor Wangdi would encounter any danger, so it was better for him and Zhu Guards to investigate. I was about to persuade, but when I saw Emperor Wang's unquestionable expression, the words stopped again, nodded and agreed. Prepare flashlights, casual clothes, etc.
At half past eleven in the middle of the night, Gonggong Zheng first changed into civilian clothes that were convenient for mobility, and then served Emperor Wang, brought a kettle, flashlight and self-defense things prepared in advance, plus the strong martial arts guard Zhu, and the three of them set off for the cold palace.
In order to be afraid of being discovered, Gonggong Zheng coaxed the eunuch on duty at night to say that Lan Cairen gave the emperor a dream in the middle of the night, and the emperor wanted to go to the cold palace to sacrifice her, so that he strictly guarded the Qilong Palace and did not allow anyone to enter the Qilong Palace before they returned.
The night in early spring is still very cold, and the cold palace is even more desolate and dilapidated and a dead silence, except for the whirring wind, there are occasional night birds, which is creepy, fortunately there are Zhu guards with extremely strong martial arts, and the emperor is at ease.
Thinking that after Lanxi was beaten into the cold palace, he spent every night in this desolate and dilapidated silence horror, Emperor Wangdi sighed involuntarily, and the remorse on his face became even stronger. Originally, she was angry that she dared to abandon herself and run away, but now she understands that she must have been forced to be helpless, and I don't know how she survived this terrible night after night, the resentment in her stomach suddenly disappeared, and all that was left was remorse and self-blame.
I hope that there is really a secret way in the cold palace, I hope she really leaves the palace safely from now on, and I hope she is safe and free outside.
Gonggong Zheng didn't care about his sadness, and led him directly to the secret passage, Emperor Wangdi saw the big opening, Rao knew in advance, or was taken aback.
There is really a secret passage in the cold palace, but how can the secret path dig into the cold palace? This is not a simple job, you have to find an exit in advance, and then survey the geological conditions, and avoid ponds, rivers and underground buildings, which is not something that ordinary people can do, let alone the concubines who were locked up in the cold palace before, this should be done by the emperor in front, probably because it is just in case there is one more way to live, but it is convenient for the latecomer Lanxi.
Emperor Wangdi was eager to try, and he couldn't wait to know what was going on at the exit.
"Gonggong Zheng, let's go down and check!"
When the matter came to an end, Gonggong Zheng was afraid that if there was an accident, he would not be able to bear this great responsibility, so he persuaded him bitterly: "The following situation is unknown, the emperor can't go down easily, after the old slave found the secret passage, he didn't dare to spy privately without asking the emperor for permission, so he didn't know the situation inside, and it was too late tonight." It's better to ask the emperor to go back and rest, and it is indeed safe for the Zhu guards to visit below, and it is okay for the emperor to go down again. ”
Emperor Wang's mind was already determined, and he didn't listen to the advice at all: "There are three of us in total, Zhu Guard's martial arts are strong, not comparable to ordinary people, you don't have to worry." Besides, the escape of the Lancai people must have passed through this tunnel, which means that the following is safe and unimpeded, and we brought these things again, and it will be okay to walk! ”
Gonggong Zheng had no choice but to order Zhu Guards to go down first, and then take Emperor Wang to go down as well, and he went down last.
The tunnels were unobstructed, silent except for the sound of their breathing, and the clear footprints could be seen by the light of the flashlights. Finding that there were men and women in the footprints, Emperor Wang's face sank, and he thought that the truth of the matter was not clear, who knew what was going on, so he pressed it for the time being, and waited until he reached the exit.
After walking up and down for nearly two hours, there was no exit except for broken bricks and tiles, and the original exit was like an entrance. Someone blocked it.
After a closer look, these bricks have no moss, they should have been newly blocked, probably those people filled in the entrance first, and then turned to the exit to fill in the place after escaping from the palace in chaos.
Emperor Wang's mood immediately relaxed, if the tunnel is intact and newly blocked, it means that Lanxi and they escaped from the palace from here, and after escaping, they found someone to make the illusion of burning the cold palace, and they were immediately angry, admired and suspicious, she was a little woman who had no relatives and no power in the capital. has such ability, who is helping her?
Gonggong Zheng looked at Emperor Wang's expression, saw that his eyes were relaxed, and he was relieved, so he said tentatively: "Although this pile of bricks is not very many, it will take a night to clean it up, or let Zhu Guards escort the emperor back to the palace first, and then he will bring reliable people to clean up the products, and how about the emperor visit again when it is cleaned up?" ”
Emperor Wangdi found out Lanxi's whereabouts, and he was relieved, so he agreed, and the group returned the same way.
Back in the Qilong Palace, Zheng Gongcheng wanted to serve Emperor Wangdi to rest, but he smiled mysteriously: "If Lan Cairen wants to escape, she will definitely do it as soon as possible, the last time the palace bureau sent her something was on the morning of November 1, then she must have escaped on the night of November 1st or 2nd, that secret road must lead to the outside of the palace, once she leaves the palace, she must flee to the field as quickly as possible, you ask people to check the trains and passengers sent to other places on November 1 and 2 at various stations in the capital tomorrow morning, to see if there is a record of two young women taking the train, If necessary, you can monitor and view, and be sure to find where they are staying! ”
Gonggong Zheng secretly admired himself, didn't dare to take it lightly, and was about to retreat, but Emperor Wangdi called out to him: "Lan Cai is smart and clever, and he will definitely do everything possible to hide his whereabouts. ”
