It has been several years since the last emperor was driven out of the palace. Now the palace is empty and only a few teams of soldiers guard it day and night.

It's not hard for them to get in.

But Chu Xiu is not sure if Ji Rao is in it.

Once upon a time, Ji Rao didn't like living in the palace. He felt bored and had no freedom. If Ji spared the Imperial Palace, the day was so big, let alone a few days, he would not be able to find it all his life.

But anyway, try your best.

"It's not too late. Let's go now."

Chu Tian tugged at Chu Xiu when he went out. "Mother is still looking for you now. Don't you tell her?"

"People have seen me. They will tell me that I am with you."

After a sleepless night, Chu Xiu and Chu Tian sneak into the palace.

The palace is huge, but it is very empty because there is no one.

Chu Xiu quietly looked at the sky in all directions of the imperial palace. It was already slightly bright from the East, and the horizon could not be seen from here. The more the color went west, the deeper it was. It would not be long before it was light.

"This way."

Chu Xiu takes Chu Tian to the harem.

Chu Tian looked at his steps without stopping, and even rarely looked at the plaque. He twisted his eyebrows in doubt and hesitated, "are you familiar with this place?"

In his impression, Chu Xiu had never been to the imperial palace. How could he be like visiting his own yard.

"It's changed a lot here." Chu Xiu kept on walking, and walked forward quickly. At the same time, he lowered his voice to talk to Chu Tian. Every time he said a word, his breath came out. "It should have been renovated many times, but I can still recognize it."

"You..."

"I've lived here for decades, and no one knows it better than me."

"You lived in the palace in your previous life?"

Chu Xiu nodded slightly.

Chu Tian pursed his lower lip. No wonder.

No wonder the place he first thought of was the palace. No wonder he knew it so well.

"Your previous life..."

Chu Xiu didn't speak. He knew Chu Tian had guessed.

"Were you a eunuch in your previous life?"

Chu Xiu

"How do you know Ji Rao? Can't Ji Rao be the official of the imperial court, and then he went to the harem by chance, and you two saw him? "

Chu Xiu

"Are you making up a story?"

Chu Xiu was helpless. "Why do you think I'm a eunuch and Ji Rao is the official of the imperial court?"

"He doesn't look like a eunuch."

"What do I look like?"

Chu Tian smiles. He holds the lamp in his hand, but only he knows how hard his hand is holding the lamp. He can only try his best to divert his attention through humorous tone.

He's in too much pain all over.

From the moment the lamp was lit, his soul began to burn.

"This way."

It's been a long time since no one cleaned it. Compared with other splendid palaces, this one is obviously less attractive.

The main door has been locked. The side door is very small and narrow. There are withered leaves all around. There are traces of Parthenocissus on the wall. If you come here in summer, it is estimated that the whole side door will be blocked by leaves.

Chu Tian followed Chu Xiu to stop in front of the side door. He saw that Chu Xiu stretched out his hand and pulled it, and the rusted and vulnerable lock broke.

Chu Xiu threw the lock aside and reached for the door.

At first, he couldn't push it open. He pushed the little wooden door open with a little effort.
