Chapter 269: Rejuvenation and Abandoned Dao (Part 1)
Wu Laodang was cautious and suspicious. When he saw the mummy of the woman, he knew that the main hall below was originally water-proof.
"Perhaps they dug a road and the water seeped in. If you want to pass through the wall here, you have to be careful."
"Yes, godfather." Xiao Zheng and Mr. Wu discussed secretly. They hid the body and the package in the wall again. "Please godfather, please check again and don't leave in a hurry."
Cao Xiwan had known for a long time that Xiao Zheng had practiced. In the dark, look at his relaxed and skinny monkey look.
Xiao Zheng didn't even see that Wu Laodang also brought a female puppet. He bent down and walked in, and Wu Laodang also bent down and walked in immediately.
Huh? Cao Xiwan blinked, and the dead eunuch didn't play the flute to call the female puppet.
She was not polite, and immediately jumped lightly and floated over. Her figure was like light smoke and mist, colorful and blurry. It seemed that the light moonlight passed through her figure and fell behind Wu Laoduan. She followed silently.
Two people entered.
There was a torch set up in the wall. She used the Youquan Yue on the fifth level of the Netherworld's Nine Transformations. Her figure was bright and clear, like the moonlight reflected in spring water, hazy and hard to catch, but she was excited in her heart:
Sure enough, the Bizhu of Tongtianchi is useful. Youquanyue's movement technique is actually comparable to Biying Puppet Dance, but it consumes too much internal energy. She can't use it at all right now.
She's doing it again!
The torch was crackling and burning, and she was not jumping around pretending to be a puppet. Xiao Zheng could not hear any movement, and he did not notice that there was a third person in the wall.
There was a sound of fire, and the figures of the two eunuchs were reflected on the top of the wall.
Xiao Zheng lit another lantern and raised her arms high to illuminate the dark wall. She pressed against Wu Laodang, skillfully and skillfully hiding her shadow. She squinted and saw writings on a piece of wall.
.
Xiao Zheng raised the lamp and shined it on the wall. There should be hundreds of characters drawn on it by phoenix hairpins or long hairpins. They were covered with green platforms, and the writing was sad and sad.
It turns out that this is exactly the regret written by the female mummy during her lifetime.
Xiao Zhao pointed to the suicide note and explained to Mr. Wu: "She carved it on the wall. My son looked carefully. She seemed to say that she had offended someone and was locked up in the wall and was not allowed to come out. She was about to starve to death. Look, godfather,
Didn’t he die of thirst and hunger in the end?”
Xiao Zheng pointed at the female mummy and whispered, then pointed at the package, "There are twenty or thirty boxes of jewelry and property inside. The corpse must have known that this wall was where she hid the treasure. I'm afraid her identity is this
The chief concubine of the Changchun Palace, godfather, and son recognized this sentence, "I have been grateful for a long time, but I donated my fan to the box", which means that I fell out of favor later. It was a pity that I didn't hide food and water here, so I starved to death.
You gave us an advantage for nothing.”
As Cao Xiwan listened, he also knew that "donating a fan in a box" was a metaphor for Ban Jieyu, the favored concubine of the Han Dynasty, comparing herself to a fan in the autumn. After the summer, the fan was useless and abandoned in the autumn, which was a metaphor for the palace resentment of a concubine who fell out of favor and abandoned her.
She looked at the corpse carefully. The concubine was dressed like a third-grade Zhaorong or a second-grade Zhaoyi. In addition to gemstones and gold, there were two long and short phoenix-mouthed hairpins on her bun. It was clear that she had been favored by her superiors.
To treat her like a high-ranking concubine, she is not kept in the cold palace, given leucorrhea, or poisoned wine, but is locked up in a wall that no one knows about and starves to death...
She understood that this person fell out of favor and offended the favored concubine in the palace and the eunuch at the same time. He was betrayed by his confidants, and then someone teamed up to secretly kill her.
I don't know what excuse I made to say she was missing.
——Perhaps he has fallen out of favor. The emperor cannot remember this person at all.
This thing was done so ruthlessly and so boldly that it was not something that the king or the queen could do. It was the powerful eunuch.
Wu Laodang was literate. He put his hands behind his hands and read the suicide note on the wall. He also let out a laugh. He seemed to have the same idea as her, and just asked: "Is the lower level clear?"
"pass."
"Let's go. It's already the appointed time."
As soon as she heard that Wu Laodang was about to take action, she knew it was necessary to call her, so she quickly floated out and stood blankly in the hall again.
The wind blew through the temple, and she listened carefully and heard the sound in the wall.
"My son will lead the way." Xiao Zheng hesitated, "But this time I saw the Prince of Qin in the inner prison. He has just returned. The two eunuchs beside him are famous Tantric masters in the northwest. If the agreement is not reached, my son may not be those two.
The opponent..."
Prince Qin? She was surprised. Can she kill them all today? Feng Junqing must be there too. She is really lucky!
However, the second young lady was going to be a widow? She thought it didn't matter, she could just find someone more handsome.
Wu Laodang snorted and waved his hand: "Just go."
"Yes. Godfather." Xiao Zheng knew that for the sake of confidentiality, he did not bring any experts with him during the previous night inspections. Therefore, Xiao Zheng did not even notice that when Wu Laodang entered the palace, the palace was dark behind him.
Because Cao Xiwan's body was now filled with medicinal power, he melted into the darkness whenever he stood casually in the palace.
Even if the Seven Demons of Tianshan come, they may not be able to find her immediately. What's more, Xiao Zheng?
Her mind was empty and she listened to the movement underground.
She heard the wind blowing through the wall into the long tunnel, and the wind in the tunnel was blowing to the north.
She heard the sound of water from the water gate outside the palace city.
The duty room of the Palace Clerk and Supervisor of Ceremonies is near the water gate. Below the duty room, there is the sound of the locks banging in the inner prison of the palace...
Wu Laodang played the silent flute.
She jumped in.
Xiao Zheng was uneasy. He listened to Mr. Wu's instructions and walked a few steps in the dark without looking back. He thought about his other godson Xiao Zhao who was still imprisoned for no apparent reason. He wished that Xiao Zhao would be unlucky.
There is one less person to compete with him for favors, errands, and benefits, but when something happens, he remembers that his nemesis Xiao Zhao is at least a master.
Xiao Zheng suddenly heard a strange sound, a jumping sound. He looked back in surprise and saw that Xiao Zheng was almost scared to death. A female zombie with straight legs jumped in behind Wu Laodang.
.
"Godfather——!" Xiao Zheng screamed.
This is the mummy of the palace maid from Changchun resurrected to catch a substitute!
"Empress, please spare me, I wasn't the one who killed you!"
"Shut up and go your way. This is His Majesty's puppet. I brought it to you for use. Any number of masters are no match for you."
Xiao Zheng was already kneeling on the ground, and was kicked twice by Wu Laodang in an angry and funny manner. Xiao Zheng looked up blankly, and when he finally understood, he jumped up with joy, quickly wiped a handful of cold sweat, and quietly wiped away the tears that had come out of fear.
.Thankfully I have practiced it, otherwise I would have been scared to death.
Cao Xiwan secretly laughed so hard that she almost burst into laughter. Xiao Zheng looked back at her from time to time. Because when she came in just now, she deliberately blinked at Xiao Zheng, so he was so frightened.
Is he really a puppet? Xiao Zheng felt uneasy.
And Cao Xiwan looked up at the top of his head, and gradually saw the direction of the tunnel, which indeed led to the inner cell of Si Li Jian.
She now understood why Feng Junqing wanted to cultivate the useless path of Hui Chun Tang. It turned out that this thief was just a feint, and secretly tricked Chen Cang.
In fact, they had other arrangements in the Beigongmen area, and Wu Laodang was there to take care of them.
Mrs. Sun, who was monitoring the Huichun Hall for her, also specifically informed her a while ago that the three Xue brothers discussed Beigong Gate twelve times while resting in the tunnel.
Suddenly, she figured out, where could husband Kai hide? In the abandoned passage of Huichun Hall.
