Chapter 63: Shocking news in the secret room
It has been more than ten days since the haunted case of the palace, and the deadline given by the academy is tomorrow, but it is obviously impossible for Zheng Wenbin and them to solve the case tomorrow. After half a night of deliberation, the big guy has always decided to let the statement and his wife enter the palace again tomorrow to contact Concubine Li. Let's see if we can find some useful information in the palace.
After breakfast the next day, Shu Tong and Tang Wan'er read the book in the study for a while, then arranged for the coachman, prepared the carriage, and the husband and wife changed their clothes, dressed neatly and set off towards the palace. The ladies were cleaning up the table.
"You two are here to play again, if you don't come, I'm going to send someone to find you to come over? I have something on my hand that I want to ask you for help. ”
The statement and the couple looked at each other, and then asked suspiciously,
"What's the matter, the concubine said that it doesn't matter, as long as we husband and wife can do it, we will definitely help. ”
Concubine Li looked at the two of them and smiled embarrassedly, and said,
"My poor sister died early, and my brother-in-law has basically ignored my sister's children since he had a new love, and I begged you to take the child in the courtyard of your Qianyuan Academy a few days ago, and begged him to take this child unusually, at first the courtyard adults refused to accept it, until Fluttershy's test report was excellent, and the courtyard reluctantly agreed to let Fluttershy go to your liberal arts academy to learn rune magic, I just want you and your wife to take care of my poor niece in practice. ”
"I just heard from Teacher Zheng yesterday that there is a new junior sister named Meng Feidie, and my husband and wife haven't seen her yet. But now that the concubine has spoken, we will definitely take good care of the little junior sister. The statement hurriedly agreed.
"Since the horse master agreed, then I am relieved. I know that the purpose of your visit this time is not to inspect the corpse of my little palace maid? I have already made it ready, and the two of you will go over to inspect the corpse after dinner. ”
"I'm sorry, Concubine Niangniang, we have a lot of things, so it's better to directly explore the corpse. ”
"Okay, I won't force you anymore" Concubine Li waved her hand, and a palace maid next to her immediately came over and led the two to investigate the corpse.
Xiao'e's body has been carefully examined by Liu Cheng, so the two of them didn't find any clues on Xiao'e's body, in fact, the purpose of coming this time was to contact Concubine Li and check her reaction, now that the purpose has been achieved, you can relax. It was still early, and this time they had the opportunity to follow up on the reason for the investigation and take a good look at the beautiful scenery in the palace.
The two came out of the morgue and wandered aimlessly, the palace was very large, there were countless pavilions and pavilions, carved railings and painted bamboos, and the husband and wife were wandering slowly. Suddenly, a team of people appeared in front, seeing that the direction they were going should be the direction of the cold palace, just the two of them heard that Li Guifei also liked to go to the back garden of the cold palace to enjoy the flowers, so they followed the team of people, and walked in the direction of the cold palace, when the two of them arrived at the gate of the back garden, a team of royal spirit troops blocked the way.
"The concubine is enjoying the flowers, and idle people are not allowed to enter. ”
The two wanted to leave when they saw that there were guards guarding the door, but when they heard that it was Li Guifei who was admiring the flowers inside, the two of them were immediately interested, and they wanted to see what Li Guifei was doing inside. So the two sneaked into a corner of the back garden where there was no one, and used the light talisman to enter the back garden very easily.
The husband and wife hid in a tree with a huge crown, and after a while, Li Guifei appeared in the field of vision of the two accompanied by several palace maids, and the palace maids behind were holding a few food boxes, and they quickly filled the stone table on the pavilion with snacks and fruits, Li Guifei ate fruits while enjoying the flowers, and the clusters of peonies and roses in front of Li Guifei were blooming like a competition, and there was a small artificial lake next to the garden, and countless red carp were swimming leisurely in the lake. Concubine Li admired the flowers for a while, she should have been interested, she stood up and said to the palace maid behind her.
"I want to feed the fish, you went and called Chen Bolai. ”
A palace maid immediately trotted to call Uncle Chen, and after a while, a gray-haired old man ran by, still holding a small box in his hand.
"Tell the concubine that the fish food has been brought. After the old man finished speaking, he put the small box in front of Concubine Li.
Concubine Li didn't look at the old man, picked up the box with her hand, opened the lid, and began to feed the fish slowly.
After a while, a box of fish food was fed by Li Guifei, and the fish were full, and happily chased and played everywhere. And Li Guifei looked at this fish playing happily, she herself was happy to clap her hands where to be happy, at this time Li Guifei where there is a little bit of the grace and luxury of the concubine, this is the real her, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, is the age when she likes to be active and lively.
Statement with the hand poked Tang Wan'er, who was fascinated,
"Don't look, it's time for us to go. ”
"Ah, where are we going?"
Just now, Concubine Li put a small note in the small box and gave it to that old Chen. We're going to chase it and see."
Without alerting the surrounding guards, the two quietly slipped out of Hou Garden. At this time, Lao Chen lost the disguise just now, and walked quickly with his chest up, not at all like the old man who was hobbling in the Hou Garden just now.
Lao Chen quickly walked into a very small house, the people who planted flowers and fish in the palace were the lowest level, and they were not taken seriously, and their usual food and clothing could not be compared with the palace maids and eunuchs, so Lao Chen's residence was not unusual at all in this desolate and secluded place. Lao Chen quickly walked into the house, he took off the mask of disguise, and the face of a young man appeared in front of the two of them, Lao Chen quickly changed his clothes, took the note from Concubine Li just now and ran towards a courtyard not far from the house, when he came to the side of the rockery, he said that the same couple had also quietly followed, only to see Lao Chen disappear from the field of vision of the two in a flash next to a big stone behind the rockery.
The two hurriedly followed, groping back and forth on the stone in front of them to find the mechanism of the secret door, and finally a pull ring was found by Shu Tong in a hidden stone crevice, they opened the secret door, jumped in, and a light was on the wall every few meters inside, the two used light body techniques, and floated forward without touching the ground, without making a sound, and soon they saw that there was no way out except for a stone door in front of them. The two quietly leaned against the stone door, and the sound of two people talking came from inside.
"Master, this is the information that Shen Li passed on to us, please take a look at it. ”
I only heard the sound of sucking through the pieces of paper from inside.
"It's been so long since the emperor was around, and she hasn't even found out where the things are, it's really a waste. A woman's voice came from inside.
"By the way, Shen Aotian, the old monster who is not a human or a ghost in the Far North, have you found a clue, this waste almost ruined our big thing. ”
"Report to the master, only since the last incident, we have lost his news"
"Let's continue to investigate, let's return as soon as we get the things, my brother came with the news just now, we can't delay any longer, we have to get the things as soon as possible." "Suddenly a man's footsteps came towards the door,
The two of them nodded to each other and immediately returned to the palace by the same way as they used the light body technique to quickly float out of the secret room and came to the side of the rockery.
