Fang Yu suddenly felt an impulse in his heart and said, "My body-protecting magical power is actually fake."
As he spoke, he unbuttoned his coat, exposed his vest, and said, "Actually, this vest is invulnerable."
The nun in white stretched out her hand and pulled hard. With the force of her pull, even the steel wire was broken, but the vest did not move at all.
She smiled slightly and said: "I see. I was surprised that even if the Shaolin school's internal skills are really good, you would never be able to practice them to such a high level given your young age."
She was very happy to have solved a mystery in her mind, and said with a smile: "You kid, you speak honestly."
Fang Yu was secretly amused. It was really unusual for someone to praise him for his honesty in his life.
Fang Yu said: "You are not very honest with others, but you always tell the truth to your teacher. I don't know why. It's probably because I regard you as me...my mother..."
The nun in white said: "Don't say this again in the future, it's very unpleasant."
Fang Yu said: "Yes, yes."
He thought to himself: "You poked me in the chest, and it still hurts. I've called you mom several times, so it's straightened out."
When he called her mother, he meant calling her young lady. Feeling proud, he glanced at the nun in white again. Seeing her noble appearance, he couldn't help but respect her, and he regretted calling her "mother" several times.
He glanced at the nun in white again, and saw that her eyes were full of tears and she was about to cry, which made him feel strange.
Naturally, he didn't know that the nun in white was thinking: "I should have thought of this vest a long time ago. Doesn't he... he... also have one like this?"
The nun in white and him went down the mountain from the north and turned east. When they arrived at a town, Fang Yu went to buy clothes and dressed up like a young man.
He pretended to be a lama and escorted Shunzhi away from Qingliang Temple. Naturally, he never left his body with hundreds of thousands of taels of banknotes. Along the way, he ordered the shopkeepers to provide exquisite vegetarian food and served the nuns in white very attentively.
The nun in white is very good at distinguishing between good and bad dishes, as if she comes from a wealthy family, and is completely different from those Shaolin monks.
Although she doesn't mean to be picky, if the food is exquisite, she will eat more chopsticks.
Fang Yu has a lot of money. As long as he can buy it in the market, he can buy ginseng, bird's nest, poria, tremella, and money mushrooms as expensive as they are.
When he was in charge of the imperial kitchen, the Queen Mother and the Emperor were required to eat vegetarian food every time the Buddha's birthday, Guanyin's birthday or during the fasting period to pray for good harvests. He was also very good at ordering vegetarian dishes.
Sometimes the cook in the inn doesn't know how to cook, so he has to go to the kitchen to give instructions. The food he cooks is very similar to the imperial meal.
The nun in white was taciturn and often didn't say a word all day long. Since Fang Yu respected her, he didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore.
In less than a day, he arrived in the capital. Fang Yu went to a large inn and was rewarded with ten taels of silver as soon as he entered.
Although the innkeeper felt that it was a bit out of the ordinary for a nun to stay in the hotel, this noble gentleman was generous and received him attentively. The nun in white seemed to take everything as a matter of course and never asked.
After lunch, the nun in white said, "I want to go to Meishan to have a look."
Fang Yu said: "Are you going to Meishan? That's the place where Emperor Chou Zhen died. We have to kowtow a few times."
The Coal Mountain was right next to the palace, and they would be there in a short time. The two of them hired a carriage and headed towards the Coal Mountain.
When they came to the mountain, Fang Yu pointed to a big tree and said, "This is the tree where Emperor Sui Zhen hanged himself."
The nun in white stretched out her hand to touch the tree, her arms couldn't help trembling, and tears rolled down her face. She suddenly burst into tears and fell to the ground.
Fang Yu saw her crying sadly and thought, "Does she know Emperor Sui Zhen?"
He thought: "Could it be that she is just like Aunt Tao, a maid in the Ming Dynasty Palace, maybe the concubine of Emperor Chou Zhen. No, the age is not right, she seems to be younger than the old woman, she cannot be Chou Zhen
The concubine."
Hearing her cry so sadly that she could hardly hold her breath back, Fang Yu couldn't help but shed tears, knelt down on the ground, and bowed several times to the tree.
The nun in white cried for a long time, stood up, and hugged
Standing on the tree trunk, his whole body suddenly trembled, he fainted, and his body slowly sank down.
Fang Yu was startled, and hurriedly supported him, shouting: "Master, Master, wake up quickly."
After a while, the nun in white woke up, composed herself, and said, "Let's go to the palace and have a look."
Fang Yu said: "Okay, let's go back to the store first. I'll get some eunuch clothes. The master will put them on and I'll take you into the palace."
The nun in white said angrily: "How can I wear the clothes of a *** eunuch?"
Fang Yudao: "Yes, yes. So... then... Yes, Master Tai pretends to be a lama, and there are often lamas coming in and out of the palace."
The female nun in white said, "I'm not pretending to be a lama. If I just rush into the palace like this, who can stop me?"
Fang Yu said: "Yes, I understand that those guards can't stop Master Tai. But... this will inevitably lead to a killing spree. Master Tai only cares about killing people, so he can't just look at things quietly."
He really didn't want to forcefully break into the palace with the nun in white. If something happened like this, he would be dead.
The nun in white nodded: "That's right. I'm going to break into the palace in the dark tonight. You wait for me in the inn to avoid danger."
Fang Yu said: "No, no, I'll go with you. I'm not worried if you go into the palace alone. I'm familiar with every home, place and people in the palace. If you want to see any place, I'll take you there."
yes."
The nun in white didn't say anything, she just stared outside in a daze.
At the second watch, the nun in white and Fang Yu left the inn and came outside the palace wall.
Fang Yu said: "Let's go around to the northeast corner. The palace wall on that side is shorter. Inside is where Sula's servants live. There are no guards patrolling around."
The nun in white followed his instructions and came to the side of the thirteenth row in the north. She grabbed Fang Yu by the waist and lightly jumped into the palace.
Fang Yu whispered: "This used to be the Leshou Hall and the Yangxing Hall. Master, what place do you want to see?"
The nun in white mused, "Look everywhere."
They passed between the Leshou Hall and the Yangxing Hall to the west, bypassed a long corridor, passed through the Xuanqiong Palace, Jingyang Palace, and Zhongcui Palace and arrived at the Imperial Garden.
Although the nun in white was in the dark, she still walked very quickly, turning corners without any hesitation. When she encountered guards and watchmen patrolling her, she hid in the corner of the house or behind the woods.
Fang Yu was surprised: "How come she is so familiar with the situation in the palace? She must have lived in the palace before."
Fang Yu followed her through the Imperial Garden, continued westward, exited Kunning Gate, and came to the outside of Kunning Palace.
The nun in white hesitated and asked, "Does the Queen live here?"
Fang Yu said: "The emperor has not yet married, and there is no queen. The Queen Mother used to live here, but now she has moved to Cining Palace. No one lives in Kunning Palace at the moment."
The nun in white said, "Let's go and have a look."
They came to the outside of Kunning Palace, stretched out their hands and pressed the window pane, and with a little effort, the window latch made a soft sound and was broken. They opened the window and jumped in. Fang Yu also climbed in.
Kunning Palace is the queen's dormitory. Fang Yu has never been here before. This palace has been unoccupied for a long time, and there is a smell of dust and mold.
The moonlight reflected some dim light from the window paper, and I vaguely saw the nun in white sitting on the edge of the bed, motionless. After a while, I heard a rustling sound, but it was her tears flowing down the hem of her clothes.
Fang Yu thought: "Yes, she is probably the same as Aunt Tao. She was originally a maid in the palace and served the previous queen."
She looked up at the roof beams and said in a low voice: "Queen Zhou... committed suicide here."
Fang Yu responded: "Yes." There was no doubt in his heart and he whispered: "Master, do you want to see my aunt?"
The woman in white said, "Your aunt? Who is she?"
Fang Yu said: "My aunt's surname is Tao, her name is Tao Hongying..."
The nun in white exclaimed softly: "Hongying?"
Fang Yu said: "Yes, maybe you know her. My aunt used to serve Emperor Chou Zhen."
The nun in white said, "Okay, okay. Where is she? Hurry...go and ask her to come see me."
She has always been calm and composed, that is,
On that day, when he assassinated Kangxi in Qingliang Temple, he acted quickly and without losing his composure, but at this moment, his voice sounded very anxious.
Fang Yu said: "We can't call tonight."
The nun in white asked repeatedly: "Why? Why?"
Fang Yu said: "My aunt was loyal to the Ming Dynasty and once assassinated the Queen Mother. Unfortunately, she didn't die, so she had to hide in the palace. She wants to see my code and we can't see each other until tomorrow night."
The female nun in white said: "Very good, this girl Hongying has integrity. What is your code?"
Fang Yu said: "I made an appointment with my aunt. I will build a pile of stones on the fire ground and insert a wooden stick, and then she will know."
The female nun in white said: "Let's just make a secret signal."
The nun in white jumped out of the window, took Fang Yu's hand, walked out of Longfu Gate, passed Yongshou Palace, Tiyuan Palace and headed north to the fire scene.
Fang Yu picked up a charcoal stick, drew a bird on a piece of wood, piled it into a pile of rocks, and inserted the stick into the pile.
The female nun in white suddenly said: "Someone is coming!"
The fire scene was where waste was burned in the palace. Someone suddenly arrived late at night. Something unusual happened. Fang Yu took the hand of the nun in white and hid behind a large earthenware jar.
Only the faint sound of footsteps was heard, and a man ran over. He stood still and looked around. He saw the wooden stick inserted by Fang Yu. He was slightly startled, and then walked over and pulled it up.
When the man turned around, the moonlight shone on his face. Fang Yu was overjoyed to see it was Tao Hongying and shouted, "Auntie, I'm here."
With that said, the two people walked out from behind the jar.
Tao Hongying rushed forward, hugged him, and said happily: "Good boy, you are finally here. Every night, I come here to take a look, I just hope to see your mark soon."
Fang Yu said: "Auntie, there is someone who wants to see you."
Tao Hongying was slightly surprised, let go of him, and asked, "Who is it?"
The nun in white stood up straight and whispered: "Hongying, you...do you still recognize me?"
Tao Hongying didn't expect that there was someone else behind the jar. She was startled. She took three steps back, touched her waist with her right hand, pulled out the dagger in her hand, and said, "Who is it...?"
The nun in white sighed and said, "So you don't recognize me anymore."
Tao Hongying said: "I...I can't see your face, you...you are..."
The nun in white turned her body slightly, letting the moonlight shine on half of her face, and whispered: "Your appearance has changed a lot."
Tao Hongying said in a trembling voice: "You are... you are..."
She suddenly threw down her dagger and shouted: "Princess, is it you? I...I..."
Tao Hongying rushed over and hugged the nun's legs in white, lying on the ground, sobbing: "Princess, if I can see you again today, I... I will die immediately, and... it doesn't matter."
