Chapter Twenty-Nine: Finding Something
Because of tomorrow's rest, Zhao Yao kept a good mood in class all day today. In the afternoon, after practicing the piano and getting out of school, he left the Wende Hall like the wind and couldn't wait to return to the Kunde Palace.
"Mother, I'll come back tomorrow after dinner." Zhao Yao asked while packing up his things, "Mother, what do you want, I bought it for you?" ”
"The mother concubine doesn't have anything she wants, but you can buy whatever you want." Liang Zhaoyi said, telling Zhao Yao with a straight face, "Don't eat too much, be careful of eating bad stomach, you know?" Liang Zhaoyi was worried that her son would leave the palace, so she kept eating and spoiled her stomach. After all, this kind of thing has happened before.
"Got it."
"Do you really know?" Liang Zhaoyi didn't believe in his son's assurance, poked his forehead and said, "If you eat bad stomach again this time, you won't be allowed to leave the palace for the next three months." ”
"What?" This punishment was very serious for Zhao Yao, so he hurriedly raised his hand and swore, "Mother, I swear that I will not eat a bad stomach." "Well, this time out of the palace, he took it easy and stopped eating to support his stomach.
"It's better to be like this." Liang Zhaoyi told again, "Pay attention to safety." ”
Zhao Yao patted his little chest and assured Liang Zhaoyi: "Don't worry, concubine, I will be careful." He added, "I told the starlings that I would have to sleep all day tomorrow and asked him not to come to me." ”
"Mother, you also told the second mother and them that I want to make up for sleep, so that they don't come to me." There was a secret passage in the cold palace to get out of the palace, Liang Zhaoyi and Zhao Yao did not tell Yu Meiren about them. It's not that they don't believe in poppies, but the fact that there is a secret passage in the cold palace is too secretive, and the less people know about it, the better.
Liang Zhaoyi bowed his head and said, "Okay." ”
Zhao Yao carried his satchel, "Mother, then I'll go." ”
"Be careful." This is not the first time that his son has left the palace from the cold palace, and Liang Zhaoyi is not worried that something will happen to him.
Zhao Yao asked Laiwang to take good care of their home, so he took Tongxi to the cold palace.
They were all waiting for Zhao Yao, and when they saw him coming, they all wagged their tails happily.
[Yaoyao, we will accompany you out of the palace. 】
Zhao Yao touched Lailu's head and said with a smile: "You continue to train, you can't be lazy." I'll check it out when I get back. ”
Lai Lu said with some loss: "Okay, we will train well. 】
"When you're done, it's your turn to fill them up." It is full of dogs who are now guarding Pei's house. In Bae Province, there are many cats and dogs. They and Lailu in the cold palace took turns guarding Pei's mansion. "When I get back, I'll bring you something to eat."
As soon as they heard that there was something delicious, their eyes lit up: "We want to eat meat, we want to eat big bones. 】
"No problem." Zhao Yao stood up and told Tongle to take good care of and supervise Lailu.
After explaining the matter, Zhao Yao took Tongxi to the secret passage.
The entrance to the secret passage was under Pei Guifei's bed. Before you can enter the entrance, you have to move a few things.
With a click, the entrance to the secret passage opened, and Zhao Yao jumped into the entrance with Tongxi.
There was darkness in the secret passage, Zhao Yao took out the fire fold from his satchel, lit a candle, and imprinted a rugged secret passage in front of him.
This passage is not wide and can only accommodate one person. Zhao Yao guessed that this secret passage was originally dug for Pei Guifei. Although Pei Guifei escaped from the cold palace in the secret passage, she still failed to escape the fate of death in the end.
Fortunately, Zhao Yao and Tongxi are not big fat people, and they can pass through the secret passage.
Tongxi walked in front with a candle, and Zhao Yao followed behind him. This secret passage was very long, and Zhao Yao and the others walked for more than half an hour before they walked out.
The exit of the secret passage is in a firewood house in Pei's mansion, which is very inconspicuous.
Zhao Yao knocked on a wall at the exit of the secret passage. After a few moments, the door to the exit slowly opened. Zhao Yao walked out of the secret passage with Tongxi.
Before entering the secret passage, Zhao Yao and Tongxi changed their clothes and put on tattered clothes. The two of them also deliberately messed up their hair, and their faces were deliberately blackened, looking like beggars.
Zhao Yao and the others deliberately made it like this because they didn't want to attract attention, after all, no one would set their eyes on beggars.
They had been waiting for Zhao Yao at the exit of the secret passage, and when they saw him come out, they happily threw themselves at him.
Zhao Yao sat on the ground, hugging the cats and dogs guarding Pei's mansion left and right.
[Yaoyao, you're finally here, we miss you. As he spoke, he stuck out his tongue and licked Zhao Yao's face.
"I miss you too." Zhao Yao kissed them, "I want to study, I don't have time to come to see you on weekdays, so I can only wait for Xiu Mu to come to you." ”
[Yaoyao, you have worked hard in your studies. 】
"By the way, have anyone been wandering around Pei's Mansion recently?"
[A few days ago, someone ran in. 】
"Ran in?" Zhao Yao asked in surprise, "A few people ran in, what did they do when they came in?" ”
[Four people came in, and they went through all the rooms as if they were looking for something. "However, they didn't find anything, and then they never came in again, and they didn't linger around. 】
"Looking for something?" Zhao Yao asked with a puzzled face, "What are they looking for?" ”
[They kept talking about that thing, that thing, but what it was, they didn't say. Coming to Mandao, [Look at their appearance, the thing they are looking for is very important. 】
"Something important?" Zhao Yao became more and more confused in his heart, "Is there anything important in Pei's Mansion?" ”
[No, there is nothing in Pei's house. 】
If there was really something important in Pei's mansion, it would be impossible for them not to know about it.
"And what are they looking for?"
[I don't know.] Laiman tilted his little head and said, "Those people are very strange, they were wearing black clothes and covering their faces when they ran in, and they looked like they couldn't see anyone. 】
"It's weird, it's really weird." Zhao Yao said to Laiman, "You continue to be optimistic about Pei's Mansion, if those strange people are entering Pei's Mansion, you have to tell me as soon as possible." ”
[Okay.] As soon as Lai Man finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something, and said, [By the way, Yaoyao, those people left the capital. 】
"Leaving the capital?"
[That night, after those people left Pei's mansion, I quietly followed them, they lived in the Ping'an guest house in the west of the city, and they left early the next morning. 】
"And where did they say they were going?"
[I didn't say it, they all looked fierce and vicious, and they didn't know what kind of good people they were at first glance. Laiman is a very intelligent and humane dog. Over the years, it has been wandering in the capital, seeing all kinds of people, and has long practiced the ability to observe words and colors.
"It looks like I'll have to go to the Ping An Inn tomorrow to inquire." He had to figure out where these weirdos came from and see if they were in danger.
Tong Xi saw that it was dark outside the window, and reminded Zhao Yao: "Your Highness, it's dark, we should go, otherwise the second master will have to wait in a hurry." ”
"Come on, you come with us." Zhao Yao stood up and patted his buttocks, telling the other cats and dogs that he would send them some delicious food later.
Laiman wagged his tail and happily followed Zhao Yao and them out of Pei's mansion. It ran out first, then looked around again, made sure there was no one, and returned to inform Zhao Yao of them.
Zhao Yao and the others walked out of Pei's mansion, and then ran into the alley closest to Pei's mansion. When I got out of the alley, it was a lively scene outside.
For the two beggars and a dog who suddenly appeared, the passers-by did not give a single look.
Zhao Yao smelled the fragrance of the roadside food stall, and immediately became hungry, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
The owner of the snack stall saw Zhao Yao, a beggar, staring at his stall with straight eyes, and waved his hand at him in disgust: "Get out!" Get lost! Get lost! ”
Zhao Yao pretended to be scared and hurriedly ran away.
Then, he took Tongxi and Laiman to a dim alley. At the mouth of the alley, there was a young man looking left and right, stretching his neck and waiting.
When he saw two beggars approaching with a big yellow dog, his face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly stepped forward.
"Second uncle, I'm here." Zhao Yao saw the young man and ran towards him happily.
Liang Run hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Zhao Yao.
"I miss my second uncle."
"I miss my second uncle so much." Zhao Yao rubbed Liang Run's face.
"Let the second uncle take a good look." Liang Run looked at Zhao Yao carefully, and found that his cute nephew's little face had lost weight, "How did you lose weight, it must be that you have studied too hard." ”
"That's right, it's hard to study...... Grunt...... "Before Zhao Yao's words were finished, his little stomach screamed with hunger.
"I'm hungry, my second uncle will take you back to eat." Liang Run walked home with Zhao Yao in his arms, and said, "Second uncle made you a hot pot, and it was all your favorite dishes." ”
"Second uncle is the best." Zhao Yao said sweetly.
"How is your mother's time?" Liang Zhaoyi is Liang Run's sister, and he has been sticking to Liang Zhaoyi's sister since he was a child. At the beginning, Liang Zhaoyi entered the palace for the draft, and he cried for a long time.
"The mother concubine is very good, she eats well, drinks well, and sleeps well."
"You're not being bullied, are you?"
"Nope."
Liang Run didn't believe it: "Is there really not?" ”
"Really." Zhao Yao said seriously, "The mother concubine is very smart, how can she let people bully her, and she won't let others bully me." "His mother is the smartest concubine in the palace.
