Fu Cheng promised to seal Shen Mo as prime minister, and also "gifted" him to continue to live in the palace.

Shen Mo knew that this was because the emperor had not completely trusted him, and he still had to look at him under his nose.

He went back to the palace where he had been living alone, and was silent for a long time.

There was no one in his ears who was chattering and asking him to accompany him, and he suddenly felt a little unaccustomed.

It wasn't until a palace maid came in that he interrupted his thoughts: "Lord Shen, do you want something to eat?" The slave and maid will go and tell the kitchen to make it for you. ”

Shen Mo suddenly remembered that he hadn't eaten all day today, and he hadn't closed his eyes for many days, and he didn't feel a little hungry and tired at all.

He knew that he might not be able to hold on like this, but he really didn't have much appetite, so he asked, "Is there anything appetizing?" ”

The palace maid thought for a while and said, "I will prepare a soup made of fresh sour plums for you, do you think it?" ”

Shen Mo asked curiously: "Are there still fresh sour plums at this time?" ”

"Yes, there is an ice vault in the palace. Previously, when Lord Shen was still alive, the ice warehouse was damaged by him, and when it was built last year, it happened to be the season when the plums were ripe, so he hoarded a lot of sour plums. ”

Freezer ......

The silence in the ice storage in the palace has also heard a little, that place is very large, cold all year round, and some ingredients are fresh when they are frozen for the last two years.

Shen Mo suddenly had an idea......

He said to the palace maid: "Don't do it, you can rest, I don't want to eat anything today." ”

The palace maid answered and retired.

After she left, Silence quietly went to the kitchen.

He rummaged around and soon found a bunch of keys on the wall, one of which was particularly striking in stone.

Shen Mo had heard from the people in the palace before that the ice vault was made of huge and thick stones, the two gates were also made of stone, and the key was also made of stone, so this must be the key to the freezer.

He immediately took the fire fold and changed into a thick cotton coat, because he was going to stay in the freezer for a long time later.

When he was ready, he hurried to wait on the way out of the palace.

Just now, the emperor asked someone to transport the body of the puppy out of the palace for burial, counting the time for those eunuchs to prepare, this time should be almost up.

Sure enough, not long after Shen Mo arrived there, he saw a eunuch walking over with a cart pushing the body of a puppy.

Shen Mo frowned slightly.

Before, the emperor clearly ordered to prepare a good coffin for the puppy, and then take it out for a good burial.

As a result, the eunuch was about to take people away with only a cart, and it seemed that he had swallowed the silver given by the palace.

Shen Mo greeted him and said, "You are so bold! The emperor ordered to prepare a good coffin to bury him, and that's how you did it? ”

The little eunuch was startled, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Lord Shen, it's not about the slave, the slave took over the job from the chief's father-in-law, and he gave the slave a piece of broken silver, and the slave really can't buy a good coffin......

The little eunuch trembled and took out the broken silver and handed it to Shen Mo with both hands.

Shen Mo also understood, seeing that this little eunuch was so young, he knew that he was a person who couldn't be the master, and he just spoke like that just to scare him.

He sighed and said, "This is my maidservant, I can't bear her being directly found in a mass grave and dumped her body, you can hand it over to me." ”

After silently speaking, he took out a certain amount of gold and handed it to the little eunuch: "Remember, don't mention this matter to anyone. ”

The little eunuch was overjoyed, he really didn't expect that not only would he not be punished, but he would also earn a gold ingot for nothing.

He hurriedly took it: "Yes! Lord Shen, don't worry, the minions will never say it! ”

After receiving the gold, the little eunuch hurriedly left the puppy and ran away.

While running, I thought to myself, this future little prime minister is really affectionate, and he is so good to the maid who has died.

After the people left, Shen Mo picked up the puppy and took her to the freezer.

There are generally no guards guarding the ice warehouse, because there is a large and heavy stone door, and all the ingredients are frozen, and only the palace ladies in charge of the palace can open it if they have the key, and others generally do not come to this kind of place.

But to be on the safe side, Shen Mo lingered around the freezer for a while, not seeing anyone passing by, before he walked over, picked up the prepared key and inserted it into the lock hole.

With a "boom", the stone door of the ice warehouse opened.

Silence took the puppy inside, placed it on a large block of ice, and then turned to close the door behind him.

This ice vault is really big, and it's also very cold.

He went to the innermost part, found a large block of ice hidden in the corner, and then took out the prepared fire fold and lit it around it, and seared the ice.

After a while, the place where the ice had been roasted began to melt, and a small pit gradually appeared, and then the pit slowly became larger and larger.

It was not an easy job, and even though Shen Mo was already wearing his thickest clothes, he was quickly frozen and stiff.

Finally, the puddle was big enough to fit a person.

Silence stopped, went over to pick up the puppy, put her in it, and quietly watched the water in the ice pit flood over the puppy's head.

Shen Mo gently stroked the little girl's head, with a little doting in her eyes: "Sleep in peace, when I finish things, I will come back to pick you up." ”

Naturally, there would be no reaction on the puppy's calm face, but Shen Mo seemed to see the puppy bend his eyebrows again, smile happily, and play chess with her after pestering him to finish his work.

Shen Mo smiled and waited quietly.

After a while, the water turned to ice again, completely hiding the puppy.

The ice here is not completely clear and transparent, and many ice cubes have something white in them, and this piece of ice is not obtrusive here, and you can't see that there is a person hiding here.

But Shen Mo was still afraid that someone would find out, so he took a lot of effort to move several large ice blocks to cover them.

The main food storage area is in front, these adult old ice are used to maintain the temperature of the freezer, generally no one moves, put the puppy here, and do so much to hide, presumably it should be fine.

Shen left the place silently, standing outside the door and reluctantly looking in the direction where the puppy was lying, until the door was closed, he turned to leave.

When he was about to return to his residence, Shen Mo suddenly heard a rustling movement from the flowers not far away.

He glanced at the source of the movement, and saw a water-colored skirt and a pair of black shoes belonging to the guards under the rockery cave beneath the rockery.

Shen Mo remembered that when the girl whose eyes looked like Song Beibei danced before, she wore such a water-colored dress.

Silent hesitated for a moment, then walked behind the stone......

Behind the rockery, the woman whose eyes were very similar to Song Beibei hugged the guards tightly and kissed deeply!
