Chapter 38 (32)
Ping Ruoyu only remembered hearing Prince Fu mention that there was a Zhendu Gate in the palace, which was also divided into categories like this, collecting all the treasures in the world, as well as the weapons and armor that the court relied on to rely on. Now it seems that the scale of this place is not much worse, and it is even better. Ping Ruoyu has reason to believe that whoever can be the master of these things will be able to sit on the world.
However, who owns this underground treasure house? I don't know if the emperor knows about it? Or was it buried by his order in case of emergency? Or maybe the Ming Dynasty emperor made his own decision during his reign, or his subordinates acted privately and secretly stored it underground. Then the city was broken, Emperor Chongzhen killed the concubines one by one, and he also hanged himself in the coal mountain, so the whereabouts of this large number of treasures were lost?
But now it is worth wondering whether the men in black intended to lure themselves in, whether this is their base camp or the sinister trap laid by the other party? Every nerve is tense, and every hair stands on end. Suddenly, hearing a soft sigh from behind, Ping Ruoyu suddenly turned around, crossed the sword to his chest, and shouted: "Who is it?
A figure slowly stepped out of the shadows, as if it had intended to answer her. The dark shadow was dragged more narrow on the ground. When he walked in front of him, the man suddenly let out a faint sigh and said, "Ruoyu, I'm sorry for letting you discover this secret. As soon as he finished speaking, his face was officially revealed from the shadows.
Ping Ruoyu looked at him in a daze, forgetting for a moment that she was in danger, forgetting that the situation was unfavorable to her, forgetting that she still had a task to do, and she still had to please Shangguan Yaohua. His lips squirmed a few times, but he couldn't say a word.
—————
Li Yijie and the other three led a mixed army and generals all the way, shuttling back and forth between palaces, even sparing any corner of the Forbidden City. In the end, he still found nothing, Shen Shiyun was even more irritable and irritable, and said: "Could it be that person who can't fly with wings?" Hmph, in the sky and on the ground, there is no one who this palace can't deal with." Nangong Xue suddenly said: "Concubine Yun, I have a guess." Do you think there is something valuable hidden in the Yinxue Palace, and that person is deliberately attacking the west, luring us away first, and then taking the opportunity to enter the palace to steal?"
Li Yijie said in his heart: "When did that person arrive outside the door just now, even I didn't notice it...... It's not a boast, if his purpose is just to turn the tiger away from the mountain, he should deliberately make some noise at the beginning, but why does he always disappear until he is called broken? Besides, what treasures are in the Yinxue Palace, naturally Yun'er herself knows best. If it is really important to the point that it is worth the hard work of others, the surrounding area will definitely be doubled in prevention, and it will not be easy for people to get their hands on it. It is impossible to justify this theory of treasure theft, no matter how you reason......"
I was about to secretly sigh that Nangong Xuejianghu's experience was slightly inferior, and when I turned my eyes, I saw that her eyes were also looking at her, and she smiled slyly. Li Yijie couldn't help but be stunned, could it be that Nangong Xue knew the truth, but she deliberately tricked Shen Shiyun into going back to the palace to check, so as to delay the person's time? She hoped that the news could reach the emperor's ears? Although it was good to be able to make him fortify early, but when she thought that it meant that her friendship with his monarch and ministers was broken at the same time, her heart always hurt like a knife.
Shen Shiyun seemed to suddenly remember something, and said, "Yes, go back to the palace with me!" Without waiting for Li Yijie's reply, he turned around and left. The three of them hurried back to the Yinxue Palace, and saw that the hall was empty, and the small room was still the same as when they left. Shen Shiyun sneered, leaned in front of the window, and said, "It's really good, it seems that the things sent by others can't be trusted." Xiao Xuan, a cheap girl, is now afraid that she has arrived in the Qianqing Palace, and it is useless to chase her, wait for her to come back, and see how the palace will clean her up!"
Li Yijie was stunned and said, "You said Xiaoxuan......? How could this be?" Originally, he always had a bad feeling for Cheng Jiaxuan, but later he heard that all the evil accounts she had created were not out of her original intention, but were instructed by others, and as for the person behind the scenes, it involved several obscure truths. The secret behind it was something he didn't want to delve into, so he couldn't get to it in the end. But there is always a shadow in my heart, and I don't even know who to hate?
Hearing Shen Shiyun's poisonous words, he secretly shivered, and subconsciously persuaded: "Even if Xiao Xuan is not in the palace at the moment, she can't be sure that person is her." This kid has very little guts, and he is honest, so he is not expected to do any informants. ”
Shen Shiyun sneered: "Won't tell the truth?" Even if she hasn't spoken much in front of the emperor, she doesn't know how many times she has reported to her father-in-law! She was placed in the eyeliner of Yinxue Palace from the beginning, thinking that I would not know? On the other hand, he didn't want to give the Seven Evil Thieves his satisfaction. But such a girl, if she is not severely punished, how can she establish the prestige of this palace?"
Nangong Xue sighed: "She is a child who is ignorant, what others ask her to do, just coax a few words with good words, and she will obediently do it." Why do you have to meet her in the same way? Isn't it more effective to subdue a subordinate's true heart than to bring out a dead body? Take 10,000 steps back and say, you are the master, she is the servant, and the status is different......
Shen Shiyun said coldly: "She is not small anymore, if she even distinguishes right from wrong at this point, she has no ability to make her own decisions, let her live at the mercy of others, it is better to die than to be peaceful." Hmph, listening to your tone, do you think that this palace is pulling her back on the verge of death? That's really a big mistake! It's just a little punishment for her betraying me. How can a palace maid as despicable as she deserve to be buried with me? I used her to extract information from the regent at the same time, thinking that it was my own use. Now that the two of us have officially agreed to cooperate, do you think that he still has this chess piece called the righteous girl? The bridge of extradition has played an effective role, and if it stays for a long time, it can only be taken advantage of by others. Mrs. Li has never heard of the way of abandoning a child? If there is a way in heaven, she will not take it, who is to blame? She betrayed me, and the time is not short, and the same crime as Luo Jin committed back then, the difference is that Luo Jin still has the heart to repent, and before waiting for the palace to cook, she first committed suicide, saving a lot of trouble afterwards. Xiao Xuan has no remorse so far, but she is afraid that she will be more righteous about her own sins. She thought that if she fell in love with a demon who was angry with God and spurned by good and evil, she would be considered superior? ”
Nangong Xue was speechless for a while. Listening to what Shen Shiyun said, no matter whether there is anything today or not, she has already made up her mind to execute Cheng Jiaxuan, and she can't help but sigh for her retribution. But if you change your perspective and stand in her position, can you really allow a thorn in her side to betray herself all the time?
Li Yijie wanted to persuade again, but suddenly there was a sound outside the door. Two figures quietly flashed into the palace. A voice said, "There is no one in the palace...... Hey, thank you, this is a safe pass. After a while, another voice said, "But there is something strange, where have they gone?"
Li Yijie jumped out and shouted, "Who is it?" The light outside the room was dim, but a couple of men and women could be seen standing in the hall, snuggling up to each other, it was Tang Yuan and Cheng Jiaxuan. What was even more unexpected was that Cheng Jiaxuan was still wearing a coat from Tang Yuan, Tang Yuan's hair was scattered on the back of his shoulders, and there were two big dark circles under his eyes. These two people usually have no intersection, how can they appear together now, and make such an embarrassment?
Without waiting for him to inquire in detail, Shen Shiyun and Nangong Xue also walked out. Li Yijie immediately put his sword into the sheath, intentionally or unintentionally trying to block her vision for a while, and he didn't know who he was covering for.
Helplessly, this hall is empty, and all kinds of situations can be seen at a glance. When Shen Shiyun saw Tang Yuanyuan, his heart suddenly lit up: "This kid has already betrayed the palace, maybe he is deliberately trying to win over Xiao Xuan and secretly make me bad." It's a pity that he found the wrong person, and he also lost his usual precautions, Xiao Xuan knows very little about me, no matter what, he will never cultivate a second Luo Jin. ”
stared coldly at Cheng Jiaxuan in front of him, let out a sneer for a long time, and said, "Xiao Xuan, do you still know to come back?" The voice echoed clearly in the hall, adding a bit of weirdness to the atmosphere in the dark environment at this time.
Cheng Jiaxuan didn't dare to look directly at her, her eyes only stared at her toes, and said softly: "Niangniang, did you leave the palace without permission last night and didn't return for the whole night......?"
Shen Shiyun snorted coldly a few times in a row, and said, "You are really good, in the past, this palace appreciated you because of your extraordinary imagination." Make up excuses for me, you can find all kinds of strange reasons. Now it's even better, you dare to lie in front of this palace, and you can still keep your face and heart beating, compared to the beginning, has you grown more than one order? ”
Cheng Jiaxuan was taken aback, and her already trembling body became even more thin and helpless, and she panicked: "No...... No, I was in a bad mood last night, so I drank with Master Tang. Later, I got drunk...... It wasn't until the sun was three poles before he woke up. I dare not slack off, and I have come to ask you for ......"
Although Shen Shiyun was smiling, his smile made people feel a chill in their bones, and said, "I said Xiaoxuan, you lie this lie, you are really not clever." I don't know what kind of strong method the wine you drink can make a person who claims to be a thousand cups not drunk sleep all night? You can honestly tell you, where are you from early morning to noon? I'm afraid that the Young Master's Mansion and my Yinxue Palace are not thousands of miles apart, right?"
Cheng Jiaxuan's eyes were red in a hurry, and she was about to explain, but she blocked her throat with the tears gushing out. Tang Yuanyuan couldn't look at it, took a step forward, frowned, and said: "Concubine Yun, when did you become so aggressive? Even if you want to subvert the inherent impression in my heart, you don't have to make a small turn in three days, a big turn in five days, until you are unrecognizable, right? I can testify that Xiao Xuan was indeed drinking with me last night, and I saw that she was sad all day long about the Seven Evil Saints, so I wanted to talk to her and try to resolve her knots. They don't drink much, but sad people deliberately escape from reality and tend to get drunk very quickly. If she doesn't move, I can't either. Originally, she was the only one who could come back, but I was worried that you would be unforgiving, so I came to explain to her. As her master, why can't you put yourself in her shoes, care about her troubles, but just blindly criticize her?"
Shen Shiyun sneered: "Since Young Master Tang speaks, there is no reason for this palace to believe it. Hmph, sure enough, you are still good, just a few words, can persuade our little love saint to change his mind? Xiao Xuan once claimed that he would not marry, and he was willing to die for him, such a earth-shaking and unforgettable love, then you have to listen, how did you persuade him. ”
Tang Yuan said: "That person has taken root in her heart, if she wants to completely uproot it, I am afraid that she is a miracle doctor, and she does not have this ability." I just advised her to put this feeling in her heart, the supreme definition of happiness is not all 'getting', nor 'staying together', but giving and dedicating. No matter how sincere her emotions are, she will lose to time, and only if she can face the courage to let go, can love transcend all the constraints of reality and reach eternity. Are you greedy for the momentary pleasure in front of you, or do you yearn for eternal love? Alas, in fact, you should have told her these truths earlier, and perhaps she would not have fallen deeper and deeper. ”
