Mrs. Zhen was holding a lamp in front, and there was only a faint light from behind. The tunnel was indeed narrow and very low. Qin Liang was tall, and it was difficult to walk even if he bent over. He could almost only crawl on all fours. Fortunately, the tunnel was not long. , can be finished in a while.
Qin Liang asked: "When will your uncle arrive?"
Mrs. Zhen bent over and turned around and said: "He said he would come in the morning, but I don't know what time it is. Your Highness has already retreated, but please don't mess up her hair and dark clothes. Don't go too fast, there will be people outside the upper room." Palace maid, it is easy to hear sounds."
After a while, when Qin Liang came to the wooden ladder, he felt as if he had just stepped out of a tunnel. The bright light outside was dazzling, and everything suddenly became clear.
The sound of rain that had just disappeared in the tunnel also suddenly shrouded the tiled roof above with a rustling sound, making a "swish" sound from time to time.
When he poked his head out, he found that Queen Mother Guo had also stood up.
Mrs. Guo was indeed dressed in court uniform and looked very gorgeous. She had dark and delicate single temples, wore a beaded jade bracelet, and was decorated with real gold hairpins. She wore a cross-collar silkworm suit and dark clothes, and the blue-red top was very clearly bulging. The lower garment is blue and white, with a silk-colored sash tied around the flexible waist.
Qin Liang thought about how she looked when she was in the temple, receiving worship from officials. She was probably similar to now, maybe her dress was a little more complicated.
She was on the throne in the east hall, separated by a curtain, and no one dared to look up at her directly. They almost didn't know what she was wearing. Now Qin Liang could see it clearly.
Queen Mother Guo is tall and tall, and her posture is very dignified, but she looks a little nervous. Her hands are folded in front of her abdomen politely, and one hand is grabbing the other hand hard. The fingers that are tightly pressed together, as if Expressing her mood at the moment.
Seeing Qin Liang coming up, Queen Mother Guo subconsciously took two steps forward, the steps on her head swaying gently.
Her well-maintained face and pure skin were lightly painted with powder, making her look more gorgeous and solemn. Above her slightly pointed and delicate chin, her beautiful little mouth pursed, and she seemed to hesitate to speak. As soon as she saw Qin Liang, Guo The Queen Mother's almond-shaped eyes suddenly brightened a bit, shining with life-like brilliance and becoming more vivid.
"Shouldn't I let Zhong Ming come?" Empress Dowager Guo asked tremblingly. Sure enough, her tone of voice was different from that in the east hall.
Qin Liang took a deep breath and said, "I also want to see His Highness. Besides, I forgot something last time."
At this time, Mrs. Zhen said: "I will go outside and guard."
Queen Mother Guo turned her head and nodded slightly.
Qin Liang also restored the entrance to its original state first. However, the wooden frame that originally pressed on the entrance board had been pushed away, and he ignored the wooden frame.
This upper room is divided into four rooms of different sizes. Qin Liang had been here when he led people to dig a tunnel, and he was very familiar with it. After all, it took two days and two nights to just arrange the exit of this tunnel.
This is the bedroom, and there is a small room on the side. The door to go out is opened in the west corner of the south wall. There is a small room after going out; there is a guest room after going out. You have to walk from the bedroom to the courtyard, which is a total of There are three doors to enter and exit.
But in order to make the room more airtight, Qin Liang stepped forward and took hold of Queen Mother Guo's slender white hand, and led her to the small room next to her. Queen Mother Guo's hand folded in front of her belly was let go, and Qin Liang was still holding her.
Qin Liang had a lot to say, but the tense atmosphere was not right. There were palace maids and eunuchs outside the upper room, so he just whispered: "Your Highness ordered Zhongshu Province to take a big risk for me. I I will always remember His Highness’ kindness.”
Empress Dowager Guo glanced at his robe and said softly with a straight face: "Zhongming only needs to know my heart."
She was pulled by Qin Liang for a few steps, and then whispered: "Since I met Zhong Ming, my mood has completely changed."
The two of them entered the small room next to them and closed the door. The space inside was not large, with only a few tables placed and a banquet table spread on the floor.
The time was not necessarily urgent, but the main reason was that he didn't know when Guo Li would come, so Qin Liang couldn't say much. Because he couldn't mess with His Highness's clothes, he didn't hug her immediately, so he started to untie his own clothes.
When His Highness saw this, his cheeks turned red, and he looked a little embarrassed, but he lowered his eyes silently and gently untied the gauze belt on his body. The top and bottom of Shen Yi were connected together by the girdle. The factory can be opened after the silk belt is opened. Qin Liang wants to take advantage of this meeting to agree on some matters with His Highness, so that he can maintain correspondence communication in the future without having to relay it through Zhen.
He did not waste the precious meeting time and got to the point first, and then took out some Saiki paper from his arms.
"This is a numerical symbol." Qin Liang stretched out his hand and placed a piece of Saeki paper on the table. His Highness looked at the numbers on the paper with vague eyes, and responded with a hum. The sound made Qin Liang take another deep breath to stabilize himself. mind.
Qin Liang said: "After your highness goes back, remember these symbols and the numbers they represent, and then burn the paper. The first three digits represent the number of pages; the middle two digits are the number of columns; and the last is the number of characters in a certain column. "
Empress Dowager Guo was leaning on the desk and looking at what was written on the paper. She spoke in a barely coherent voice: "I will remember it and won't let others see the content."
Qin Liang continued: "We took the twelve chapters of Hanshu and copied them into a bamboo scroll with twenty characters in a row and twenty columns in the bamboo slips. We took the written numbers and counted them on the bamboo scrolls. We put the secret message , try to write it as briefly as possible. If you want to change the writing method in the future, you can also use a secret letter to renegotiate."
The Chronicles of the Han Dynasty are narrative texts, and the text is quite rich. You can probably find the corresponding words in the simple letter content. So Queen Mother Guo repeated the secret letter method again. She spoke very slowly and intermittently. .
If you feel that the characters are not enough in the future, there are still seventy biographies to follow, and the writing method can also be changed.
I don't know how long it took, but the sound of the door opening suddenly came from the bedroom outside. Qin Liang and the two men immediately stopped where they were. His Highness turned his head and looked at Qin Liang, but neither of them moved.
Soon outside the wooden door here, Zhen's voice said: "Uncle and brother are here."
His Highness said hurriedly: "I'll be here right away."
Mrs. Zhen nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go greet them first."
His Highness moved forward. After she left Qin Liang, she quickly got up to tie her belt and arrange her clothes. Her hands were very nimble and she said in a deep voice while working: "It's so early, I thought he came only in the morning." She turned around. Glancing at Qin Liang, she looked apologetic and nervous. She whispered, "After I leave, let Mrs. Zhen accompany Zhong Ming."
It took a lot of effort to meet him once, and he took such a big risk. Qin Liang suddenly felt restless and said, "I have a way."
In the room outside the bedroom, there is a wooden sit-down bed, which is used as a seat. Qin Liang made such a sit-down bed after digging the tunnel last year. He did not expect it to be used, but he spent a lot of time digging the tunnel. So I used a lot of imagination, and it was a temporary act. The four sides under the bed were sealed with wooden boards, but they could be opened, and it was very loose to hide a person inside. There was a wooden board in the middle of the wooden bed that could also be opened.
At this time, Qin Liang also stood up. He listened to the sound of rain on the roof, but still hesitated a little.
