Chapter 562: The Secret Path
Peanut's heart moved slightly, could it be that the emperor thought that those people were targeting him?
The emperor specially sent a stand-in to let those people show up?
It won't be so rough.
He really wanted to communicate with Huo Yu on this topic, but both of them were right away, so it was inconvenient to speak, and Huo Yu obviously had his own ideas.
Peanut simply closed his mouth and silently followed Huo Yu's side.
Unexpectedly, Huo Yu suddenly grabbed the reins and said to Peanut: "Let's go, I'll invite you to eat steamed buns." β
Peanut also saw the steamed bun shop, which is the one where Feiyuwei fixed the meal, and the owner of the steamed bun shop is the former Feiyuwei, who retired due to injury, and the steamed buns in that house are as unpalatable as they are.
Although Peanut didn't know what Huo Yu was going to do, he didn't speak, and followed Huo Yu into the steamed bun shop.
Along with them went in, there were cabbage and flowers.
Don't look at the small faΓ§ade of this steamed bun shop, but the inside is very deep, the owner of the steamed bun shop glanced at them and said lightly: "Please come inside." β
A guy came over, Huo Yu nodded at the boss, and followed the guy to the shop.
They went into the innermost room, and the man opened the door with the key, and turned away.
Huo Yu pushed open the door and walked in, Peanut also stepped into the room, Huo Yu walked to the Eight Immortals table by the window, and put his hand into the table and out of a row of steps.
Peanut's eyes widened, he looked at the steps, then at Huo Yu, and asked in disbelief, "Where can I get here?" β
Huo Yu whispered two words: "In the palace." β
Peanut's back was covered with a thin layer of sweat, who would have thought, who would have thought that this extremely unpalatable steamed bun shop would be connected to the palace!
The cabbage took the first step in, Huo Yu took the peanut and followed, and the flowers were broken.
The four of them walked down the steps, and Peanut realized that there were green bricks on both sides of the steps, not earthen walls.
This tunnel obviously took a lot of effort and was a big project.
Huo Yu pressed a few times on a green brick, and the ground at the entrance closed again above their heads.
There was a horse lantern hanging on the brick wall on one side, and the cabbage took off the horse lantern and lit it with the fire fold he brought with him, and the peanut took a deep breath and found that the tunnel was not stuffy, and there was obviously another ventilation hole.
After going down the steps, it was a smooth road, and after walking about a stick of incense, I saw a row of upward steps.
Huo Yu stopped, pointed to a few boxes placed against the wall, and said to Peanut, "Change your clothes." β
In the box, there are all the clothes and shoes of the waiter, in addition, there is actually a makeup box, open it and look at it, it is a simple disguise tool.
Charcoal, fake beards, glue for sticking beards, and a few boxes of rouge gouache.
Peanut couldn't help but smile and bent his eyes, and said to Huo Yu: "Who prepared this, this person must have something wrong with his brain." β
Huo Yu: "Is there something wrong?" β
Anyway, I've been here for a year or two, and I don't think there's anything wrong with it.
Peanut pointed to the fake beard and said with a smile, "Do you have a beard from the chief waiter?" β
Huo Yu stopped talking, so he wouldn't tell Minghui that these things were all prepared by him according to the things in Minghui's disguise box, but they weren't that fine.
The reason why she has a fake beard is also because Minghui also has a fake beard in her makeup box.
Well, it was he who was negligent.
By the time the four of them came out of the dark passage, there were already four attendants.
Peanut looked around curiously, only to find that the place where they were was actually a pill room. There's a big Dan furnace in the outhouse.
"Where is this?" Peanut asked.
"The Emperor's Danfang." Huo Yu said in a low voice.
Peanut suddenly realized, and now he understood that the secret path was not dug by the current saint, but since the time of the first emperor.
"There's no one here." Peanut asked in a low voice.
"Well, this place has been vacant for a long time, every ten days, there will be chamberlains and palace maids coming in to clean, usually no one, and the saints almost don't come here today." Huo Yu said.
Peanut didn't ask any more questions, and walked forward behind Huo Yu.
Soon he knew that there was a back door in the pill room, and it was a very hidden back door, if it wasn't for a mechanism to open it, the naked eye wouldn't have seen that there was another door there.
Coming out of the door, the four of them walked forward for a short distance, and then they saw four small attendants hugging an elderly attendant walking over to this side, Huo Yu and the four of them hurriedly let go to the side of the road and respectfully bowed.
The old chamberlain walked in front of them, with a proud expression and sharp peanut eyes, and saw that the old chamberlain had long nails on his fingers.
When the old chamberlain walked away, Peanut lowered his voice and asked, "Who is this?" Such a big shelf. β
Huo Yu said: "This is Gonggong Shi, who was a monk in Zixiao Palace for the first emperor back then, and was just taken back to the palace by today two days ago. β
Hearing the words "Zixiao Palace", Peanut was stunned.
These three words contain too much.
He really wanted to ask Huo Yu why he took this old eunuch who had been a monk for many years back to the palace at this time, what kind of medicine was sold in the emperor's gourd.
But he knew that now was not the time to inquire about these things.
After walking for a while, Peanut recognized it, he had been here, this was the Cining Palace where the Queen Mother lived before!
Huo Yu said to him: "After a while, you will tell the attendant in front of the palace gate that the queen mother asked us to come over to get the Book of Filial Piety." β
Peanut was puzzled: "Why do you let me say it?" β
Huo Yu whispered, "Your voice is more like that." β
Peanut glared at him, you just said that I am neither male nor female, but it is more like, more like a eunuch?
When they arrived at the palace gate, Peanut told the waiter who was guarding the gate like this, and the waiter let them in.
Peanut muttered in his heart, is this chamberlain stupid, so easy to deceive, this let them in?
But when he saw the man sitting in front of the window reading a book, he knew he was wrong.
What queen asked to take the Book of Filial Piety, it is clearly the joint code between the monarchs and ministers, it was said early in the morning, Huo Yu asked him to say, just to see that he was too idle to tease him.
As soon as he looked up, he happened to see Huo Yu's side face and the smile on the corner of his mouth.
Huo Yu let Cabbage and Duoduo stay outside, and he walked in with Peanuts.
Peanut didn't dare to slack off, and followed Huo Yu to salute that person.
The emperor smiled gently: "No courtesy, flat body." β
The emperor's gaze moved from Huo Yu to Peanut: "This is Peanut, right?" β
Peanut was about to speak, Huo Yu said, "Exactly." β
Peanut saluted again and stood silently behind Huo Yu.
The emperor said to Huo Yu: "Early this morning, the cat raised by Concubine Yun died, poisoned and died. β
Huo Yu listened to the emperor in silence and continued: "Last night, there was a plate of white fungus osmanthus cake in the supper prepared for me in the imperial dining room......"
