Chapter 89: Exploring the Palace at Night
The residence arranged by Xiao Jingzi's father-in-law is the residence of the head of the teaching institute, and it is a vacant small courtyard where the head of the school lives.
The little eunuch he sent was also shrewd and capable, and he instructed: "If you need anything, you can call the little eunuch in the courtyard to the master." Meals will be delivered on time, but please refrain from moving around. In addition, if there is any movement in the neighboring courtyard, Master Xiang does not need to pay attention to it. ”
Xiang Nan asked, "Who lives in the courtyard next door?"
"Sect leader Sun Dong. Seeing Xiang Nan's puzzled look, he explained: "Sun Jiaotou often finds other sect leaders or Royal Forest Army sergeants to study martial arts, and the movement is inevitably relatively large. In addition, the emperor is often next door. ”
"I see, thank you for informing. "Bow to the south.
After closing the door, the accommodation was assigned, and everyone met in the main house facing south.
"Without further ado, we're going to visit the cold palace tonight. Bai Yuelan suggested that she was more anxious than Liu Hua.
Ye Zhidao: "You don't have to go, there are too many people to get in the way." ”
Xiang Nan said: "Why don't I stay with the fifth senior sister?" Since the beginning of the Fuhui Kingdom, I have been eating very lightly, and the birds are about to fade out of my mouth. I make the soldiers, and the fifth junior sister cooks. You can come back just in time for a late-night snack. ”
Ding Rong smiled: "You will command me." ”
And so it was decided.
Ye Zhidao: "I'll prepare the ingredients with you first, anyway, there is still a while before it gets dark." ”
When the others dispersed, Ding Rong lowered his voice and asked, "Do you have something to say?" When you met the emperor today, your expression was a little different from before, is this the case?"
"Those who know me are Ding Rongye. Ye Zhi said with a smile.
"What's out of the ordinary?"
"I felt something familiar in the emperor. ”
“?”
"What is the most powerful talisman in our Hanshan Sect?"
"It's supposed to be a 'perfect charm', right?"
"Not bad. Wanquan Talisman is a very complex talisman, which has very high requirements for the person who draws the talisman, and it must be at a very high cultivation stage, and we can't make this talisman. It is also very effective, I heard that even if it is killed with a sharp weapon, it can be as invulnerable as a golden bell jar, it can prevent poison, and it can also be almost immune to the damage of all ghosts, gods and demons. Ye Zhi's basic knowledge was more solid, so he explained it to Ding Rong.
"Isn't this a legendary artifact? In the sect, I haven't heard of anyone who has a magic talisman?"
"I've only heard it once. ”
“?”
"When the elder brother was picked up by his mother, the master gave the senior brother the perfect talisman that he had carefully made. "The Way of the Leaves.
"You mean, the emperor may be the senior brother?"
"Not sure. ”
Ding Rong thought for a while and asked, "Is Senior Brother blue-eyed?"
"I don't know. I would like to write to ask Master about the peculiarity of his appearance and his age. The emperor seems to be more than a year or two older than me. ”
"Before, when I heard Miss Li Lian talk about the emperor, she said that he succeeded to the throne at the age of nine. If this is the case, his mother wants him back, is it not for the throne of this great Jin country? He has become the emperor, then no matter what, it is impossible for him to return to his master. Ding Rong frowned.
"Although the emperor may have a perfect talisman on his body, his aura is completely different from that of the previous senior brother. Ye Zhi concluded: "The person who becomes the emperor should not be a person whose father is unknown, right? So, from this point of view, he should not be." We need to find out more. ”
Ding Rong: "Hmm. Tonight, be careful, too. ”
"I can only use martial arts, not the spells we practice, and I'm really not used to it. ”
"Why can you only use martial arts?"
"There are outsiders here. Ye Zhi said.
Ding Rong understood, this Liu Hua is indeed not a very reliable person. She is not like Bai Yuelan, Xiaobai has seen too few stories, so she was stupidly moved. She is a new era human being who has been poisoned by all kinds of sadomasochistic online literature, and the more she tears, the more she is moved, the threshold of emotion is raised a lot, and she will not feel nostalgic at every turn.
---
After nightfall, there was a sound of "bang bang" and cheers in the courtyard next door.
I went south to trim the wood.
Ding Rong was bored washing the ingredients, everyone knew that if she wanted to cook, she was actually asking her to make a barbecue. Although Dajin Country is a landlocked country and there is no seafood, there are still a lot of chicken thighs and beef and mutton skewers that can be used for barbecue.
She knew she was going to walk around with them, and she hadn't seen what the live version of the palace looked like at night.
The three people who went to find the cold palace were not so comfortable, Ye Zhi and Bai Yuelan were very calm, but that Liu Hua was always very nervous, as soon as he met the patrolling Imperial Forest Army or the little eunuch and little palace maid at work, he dragged Bai Yuelan. Bai Yuelan was too excited to think that he was about to find a sweetheart she hadn't seen for eleven years, so she still comforted him very understandingly. He saw Ye Zhi and Bai Yuelan's light skills, and was surprised that a carpenter's apprentice was so powerful.
The harem of the palace is very quiet, and there are many palaces, and the Ci'an Palace where the Queen Mother lives is some popular, the lights are bright, and there are some conversations from time to time, and the rest of the palace is quiet even if there are lights, as if time has been frozen. The feeling to the three of them is that this harem is a virtual shelf.
On the way, Bai Yuelan asked in a low voice, "Young Master Liu, what is the name of your fiancée?"
"Isn't it written in the book? It's called Sun Yuxia. Liu Hua looked around nervously.
"You're a pseudonym, isn't she?" Bai Yuelan was surprised, it turned out that Sun Yuxia was the real name used in the story.
"Shhhh Liu Hua grabbed Bai Yuelan and hid behind the bushes.
Ye Zhi glanced at the two of them. His feeling is the same as Bai Yuelan, this man uses a fake name, but his fiancée is her real name! Isn't he afraid of causing trouble to his fiancée in the palace?
Fortunately, Ye Zhi had already inquired, so he roughly knew that the cold palace was at the northernmost end of the palace. Walking north is still a little different, there are fewer Imperial Guards patrolling, there are fewer palace people passing by, there are more leaves on the ground, and there are even some weeds growing on the roadside today. At the northernmost end, there is a separate courtyard with the words "Luowu Palace", which is the Cold Palace.
The three of them quietly pushed the door, but the door was not locked, but there was a "creak" sound of the dilapidated wooden door opening, which was particularly piercing in the cold.
As far as the eye can see, only a small room can be seen flickering candlelight, and the others are dark and deadly. Slowly approaching the room, there was a somewhat rickety woman sitting by the lamp, and she didn't know what to do by the lamp.
Liu Hua suppressed the heart that was about to jump out, slowly pushed the door open, and called: "Yuxia ......"
The woman did not react.
Liu Hua was about to step forward, but suddenly the woman by the lamp turned around, and it was a thin and wrinkled old face.
