Chapter 867: Night Exploration of Cining Palace (1)
"Are you sure?" Because of Du Wu's few words, Qing Cang, who had been sitting on the dragon chair, could no longer sit still.
"Back to the emperor, subordinates, you can basically confirm it!"
Hearing this, Qing Cang clenched his fists tightly, "Heh...... Looks like I'm going to have to see this old friend! β
β¦β¦
Qing Cang didn't inform anyone, and only came to Cining Palace quietly with Du Wu.
Didn't go through the main entrance, climbed over the wall to enter.
The Queen Mother has always been based on worshipping the Buddha, and she is happy and quiet all day long. There were not many people serving in Cining Palace, except for a father-in-law and aunt who were close to the Queen Mother, there were only two palace maids who were close to serve and a few rough envoys.
Now, the Queen Mother has left the palace to go to Mount Emei to worship the Buddha. The father-in-law and aunt who were close to him went with him, and in addition, there were also close palace maids who went with them.
Therefore, there is no one else in the entire Cining Palace except for a few rough eunuchs and palace maids. Coincidentally, at this time, it was close to the ugly time, and the Kunning Palace of Nuoda was silent.
A night light that was lit from afar swayed in the wind, making it look particularly lonely.
Qing Cang followed Du Wu all the way to the door of the room where the people of Cining Palace lived, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, this room is where Aunt Nianci lives next to the Queen Mother. It was here that the subordinates saw the Queen Mother's attendants coming in and out with food. It has been many days since it was discovered. β
After thinking about it, Du Wu said again, "The strangest thing is that there are palace maids here who come in and out with food, but they never see lights up at night. So...... That's when his subordinates became suspicious......"
Hearing this, Qing Cang sneered, "I'm just afraid that there is something unsightly in it?" β
The Empress Dowager has taken Aunt Nianci and her attendants to Mount Emei, and now, Du Wu has seen the Empress Dowager's attendants entering and leaving Aunt Nianci's bedroom in Cining Palace, which is doubtful in itself.
Who was that meal for?
Where did the attendant who left the palace come back to the palace?
Since the food was delivered to Aunt Nianci's bedroom, why did she stay for many days and never saw the lights in this room?
Du Wu chased Murong Yichen to Mount Emei, but he guarded Mount Emei for many days but did not see anyone go down the mountain. But at this time, Kunning Palace got the news of the frontier again. Could it be that there is a secret passage in Aunt Nianci's bedroom, which leads directly to Mount Emei?
Thinking about it, Qing Cang raised his hand towards Du Wuyang. Du didn't understand, followed Qing Cang, and walked towards Aunt Nianci's house in the night.
Before entering the house, Qing Cang took out a night pearl from his arms. Under the light of the night pearl, Qing Cang found that the room where Aunt Nianci lived was not big or small, in addition to a bed and a place to bathe and change clothes, bookshelves and round tables were also placed.
The dΓ©cor in the house is quaint, yet simple and elegant. It's better than the ordinary palace residence, but it's so good that it's ingenious and unassuming.
Du Wu looked around, and according to his usual judgment, he immediately walked towards the bed. I saw him lift the warm quilt on the bed and knock it on the board. Then, I saw him step by step on the floor cautiously, and surveyed around towards the round table, the bathtub, and the bookshelf. Unfortunately, he searched all the places where the mechanism might be hidden, but still found nothing.
At this time, Qing Cang stared at the long row of bookshelves tightly, unable to take his eyes off it.
Seeing this, Du Wu returned to the bookshelf and looked through it carefully.
