Chapter 478

Xiaochenzi?

The queen, who was leaning on her couch reading, was a little surprised.

If xiaochenzi finds out, he mostly chooses to send letters. It is very rare for me to find it.

I think there should be something that I don't understand in the letter, or something important

The queen stroked the cat on her lap and whispered, "God bless us, let's go out for a walk."

The cat seemed to understand her words. "Meow" jumped down, walked to the outer hall with light and lazy steps, and suddenly ran up.

"Ah, it's a blessing in heaven!"

The gong-e guarding the outer hall saw that the flower shadow disappeared soon. When she was about to chase after it, she saw the empress coming out in order to salute and say, "empress, my maid just saw that Tianfu had gone out and was about to follow up."

"No," said the queen with a smile, "it must have gone to the lotus pond in the garden to steal fish again. It happened that the palace also wanted to go out."

Her jade Kun palace is not airtight.

Over the years, she seemed to know nothing about it, but she knew exactly where the air leakage was.

Gong e heard the speech and said "yes".

The queen took two maids out of the hall and sighed, "the moonlight tonight is excellent. If you don't follow Tianfu, you'll miss such a good scene."

The maid in waiting beside her smiled and agreed: "it must be Tianfu who wants her to come out and enjoy the scenery..."

His voice faded away.

The garden has lush flowers and trees and a heavy shadow of the moon.

Accompanied by two close maids, the Queen walked slowly to the depths of the garden.

On the road, I really saw Tianfu. Under the shadow of the moon, the flower cat grabbed a cicada, but didn't eat it. It only teased and played under its claws. Sometimes it was photographed with one claw, and sometimes it was frightened to one side by the angry and struggling cicada. It soon approached again and stretched out its claws to try to pull people.

The queen estimated that if the cicada could speak, it would be cursed constantly.

The deepest part of the garden in the Yukun palace was close to the back wall of the palace. An internal supervisor had already waited there. Seeing the figure of the queen, he quickly lowered his voice and saluted: "see the empress."

He came in through the back door of Yukun palace. The palace keeper is a trusted person under the queen. He knows his identity.

"Don't be polite." the queen asked him, "but what's important?"

"It doesn't matter..." xiaochenzi said in an uncertain way: "or it's not a serious matter, but the slave felt something strange. He couldn't say a word or two clearly, so he braved to come and find his mother."

"Never mind." the queen said gently, "let's listen."

Since she used xiaochenzi, she trusted each other's ability and judgment, and had a more tolerant attitude, so that people would not be afraid of hands and feet everywhere. She didn't know whether to say it or not, and virtually missed the opportunity and key.

"Yes." xiaochenzi said the story in detail: "after Miss Xu left the heart nourishing hall today, his Highness the prince came to visit his majesty, and then several adults asked for a meeting. It seems that he encountered many problems. After several adults and his Highness the prince left, the emperor was furious and smashed many things..."

The queen listened quietly and only gave a "tut" in the bottom of her heart.

It really went farther and farther on the road of incompetence and rage.

"After the emperor's attack, the headache seems to be more serious. When the slave went in to clean up, he saw with his own eyes that the emperor had been helped to lie on the couch." xiaochenzi said: "it's strange that no imperial doctor came later..."

The Queen's eyes moved.

This is really a little strange.

The emperor has always been very afraid of death. He has to ask the imperial doctor to see and see everything. If he is good, he has to ask the imperial doctor to see him every few days. He has a terrible headache. How can he bear not to ask the imperial doctor?

"Later, someone from the property supervisor came to replace the broken jade tea sets and carried two lacquered wooden boxes." xiaochenzi then said: "when the boxes were carried out, the slave looked at one of them, which seemed heavy. It should be filled with things..."

The queen thought along these words.

Heavy?

Shangwu supervisor Xu carried many ornaments. In the end, only a few were selected. It is normal for the rest to be carried back.

However, Xiao Chenzi pressed his voice lower: "and the slave vaguely heard that there seemed to be some movement in the box... It was not like the sound of porcelain and jade, but like the sound of living creatures..."

"Living creature?" the Queen's eyes moved. "How big is that box?"

Xiaochenzi opened his arms and compared: "it's enough to accommodate a half year old child. Maybe it's a little hard for a child the size of a slave."

The queen nodded knowingly.

Xiao Chenzi has just turned 14 this year and is of medium height.

If the so-called living creatures inside are really human, it can only accommodate one child.

But there's still a headache here. Why carry a child in?

By the way

She once heard Xu Yun say that some folk prescriptions used to treat diseases are very strange, including taking blood from some rare living creatures or even living people as medicine

When it happened to others, she had to hesitate to think about it, but in the dog emperor, she only thought it was very possible - is there anything in the world that the dog emperor can't do except what people do?

The queen guessed a lot in an instant, and there were many bloody pictures in her mind.

But xiaochenzi's words haven't finished yet.

"At that time, it was just time for the slave to change the value. I really felt that there was something strange in the box, so that I could quietly catch up with the people of Shangwu prison while it was dark, but on the way, they went in different ways... The slave saw that there was a strange box, followed all the way, but saw that they were going to the dark court..."

Dark court?

The queen frowned.

There is only a dark court separated by a wall in Yongxiang, where the women's families of sinners who have been punished as slaves in the palace are located. Most of them are eunuchs who have made mistakes or are old but can't be released from the palace for various reasons.

The eunuchs who entered the dark court could never come out alive again. They could only die of old age, death or madness within the high wall.

"Can you see?" the queen confirmed to Xiao Chenzi.

"Although the slave didn't dare to follow too close at that time, he was absolutely right. Those people did enter the dark court."

The queen nodded.

Xiaochenzi always knew how cautious she was.

But why was the box quietly carried into the dark court after it had gone from the heart nourishing hall?

Or

The 'things' in it came out of the dark court?

"I wanted to sneak in and have a look, but I thought it was too risky." xiaochenzi scratched the back of his head, "and I don't know if it's useful to my mother..."

But his mother had told him that he should pay more attention to all abnormal things, big or small.

He always remembers.
