Leng Qiyue was "Heng San, Si Si". These three words were tormenting to the point that they were becoming haggard. Han Liu watched them anxiously in her heart.
Finally one day, Leng Qiyue suddenly stood up during lunch and laughed loudly, "Hahaha …" I got it … "Aiya …"
Han Liu stood behind Leng Qiyue with a head full of black lines, the vines in her hands slightly swaying.
Leng Qiyue gave an embarrassed smile. "I was wrong, I was wrong."
In the evening, Leng Qiyue went to find Han Liu. She did not sleep, but rather seemed to have deliberately waited for her.
"Han Liu, actually, I was wrong. I shouldn't have placed the emphasis on the third line, the fourth line. Didn't I say that there are white jade lotuses on the bookshelves behind the screens?" At that time, looking at that Silver Lotus was a little strange. Actually, that was just a lotus seat, and there should be a Yu Guanyin on top of it. Do you know where it is? " Leng Qiyue said impatiently when she saw Han Liu.
Han Liu thought for a moment and said, "I know, inside the Guanyin Shrine, I'll take you there."
Leng Qiyue followed behind Han Liu. They came to the backyard and Han Liu took out a key to open a small iron gate. They entered a clean small courtyard. The Guanyin Shrine was on the west side of the courtyard, not very large.
Inside, one could see a red sandalwood shrine. Inside the shrine, there was a white jade Guanyin. Leng Qiyue clasped her hands together in a bow before picking up Bai Yu Guan Yin. The base of this Bai Yu Guan Yin was flat and looked exactly like the White Jade Lotus.
But after careful examination, he found that this Bai Yu Guan Yin was flawless. She was carved from the entire piece of jade, so it was impossible for her to hide anything inside. Leng Qiyue returned the white jade image to its owner in disappointment. Just as she was about to put it back, her hand touched the buddhist shrine. She noticed that the shrine was cold and not made of wood, so she checked it again. Finally, she found the mystery behind the shrine.
Behind the shrine was a raised cloud. Leng Qiyue carefully dug it out with her fingernail, revealing an inch wide and two inches high groove. Inside the groove was a roll of white silk. Leng Qiyue took out the white silk and unfolded it, revealing a key inside.
Leng Qiyue put the cloud back in its original place and showed the key to Han Liu. When Han Liu saw that the end of the key was shaped like a fish, she remembered that there was a golden lacquered box of nine carp swimming in water in Senior Servant Qian's room. Was this the key to the box?
"Senior Servant Qian's room has a Nine Carp Drinking Box. Let's go and try it out." Han Liu said.
"Ah?" What if Senior Servant Qian finds out about this? " Leng Qiyue said with a worried expression.
Han Liu giggled. "It's fine, it's fine even if you do it in front of her. The academy had its own rules. If a student wanted to search for the 'Maid's Guide', he or she could enter any place and come into contact with any item without damaging any item. You forget? Senior Servant Qian watched as you took the White Jade Lotus without stopping. "
Leng Qiyue muttered, "If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have gone out of my way to sneak around. It really made me nervous to death."
Han Liu brought Leng Qiyue to Senior Servant Qian's bedroom. Qian mama actually didn't sleep. Seeing them smile faintly, the ferocity in her eyes also disappeared. You're finally here. "
"Grandma knows we're coming?" Leng Qiyue was somewhat surprised.
Qian mama said, "Seeing that you've come to a sudden realization today, I know that you've walked out of the wrong zone. If you don't come tonight …" "Hahaha!"
Leng Qiyue was a bit quick-witted. It was fortunate that she came tonight, otherwise Qian mama would definitely have kept that book or moved to another place tomorrow.
Qian mama put down the book in her hands and stood up. "Actually, there's a time limit to the puzzle as well. On the screen, observers only have six chances. After six times, I won't change." The time given to the Silver Lotus was ten days, and today was the last day. If you come tomorrow, I'll put another puzzle in the box. The smarter ones might find it a few times.
Leng Qiyue and Han Liu looked at each other. They could be considered lucky.
"Come on, kids, see what you've found?" Senior Servant Qian led them to the inner room, where there was a one-foot square box placed on the dresser. On the lid of the box were nine carp. The carp's body was painted in gold. However, the fish on the far left was not gold, but pure gold. This kind of thing was a little monotonous and out of place when used as a decoration on the wooden box.
Leng Qiyue stepped forward to check, but didn't find the lock. She raised her head to look at Qian mama, but only smiled and didn't help.
Han Liu said, "How come there's no keyhole?"
Leng Qiyue thought for a moment, then said, "There must be a mechanism. Look around."
Han Liu reached out to touch the box, and then lifted the lid. The lid was tightly shut, and it was impossible to open. Leng Qiyue felt that the fish on the lid were too stereoscopic. Could it be that it was purposely carved to this extent? She reached out to touch the body of the fish. Suddenly, a fish moved.
"I got it, Liu Han. Look, these water patterns are actually tracks. Fish can move."
"Well, really. Ah? This can't be moved! "He's blocking the way. The fish on this side won't be able to get through." Han Liu pushed a fish and found it was dead, unable to move.
"Let me see." Leng Qiyue pushed it a bit and sure enough, the fish could not move. These patterns also had a pattern, a bit like the escape game "Hua Dao". The middle one couldn't be moved, so she had to find a way to move the others out of the way and then move the leftmost one away. The keyhole must be right below, she thought.
Now that he knew the principle behind it, he could move it easily. After a few tries, he finally managed to move the golden fish to the left, exposing a keyhole. Leng Qiyue hurriedly inserted the key into the lock and turned it once before letting out a "ding" as it was unlocked.
Han Liu reached out to open the lid, but Qian mama instead said, "Han Liu, come to me. She's the only one who can read the books in this box."
Han Liu pulled back her hand and stood by Qian mama's side. She didn't want to be the empress, and she didn't want to get involved in any more battles at the harem, so she didn't want to watch.
Leng Qiyue opened the lid of the box. Inside, there was a book with a leather cover. On the book, there were four large, gilded words: "Maid's Guide". She picked up the book and flipped to the first page. It actually said, "Whoever reads this book must swear a poison oath that they will never speak of the contents of this book for the rest of their lives." There was even an oath inside. Leng Qiyue read loudly according to the words written, "I, my name... Oh, that's wrong. I, Leng Qiyue, swear today that I will never reveal the contents of this book in my lifetime. Including by writing, animal voice transmission and other media means. "If I break my vow, I'll choke to death from eating, choke to death from drinking, suffocate to death by going to the toilet, fall to my death from sleep, fall to my death from getting up, and walk out the door to crash to death …"
"Pfft, what is this?" Han Liu could no longer hold back her laughter.
Leng Qiyue glanced at her, then wrinkled her face and said, "How would I know? The first page writes these, I think it's because I'm afraid that the contents of this book will be leaked, which would lead to a battle between the two tigers. "
Senior Servant Qian nodded. "That's right. You probably didn't know that fifty years ago, there was a pair of siblings who found a book at the same time and became the emperor's concubines after they read it.
Han Liu suddenly clapped her hands and said, "I remember when I was young, the old man once said that two concubines framed each other for the position of empress. In the end, the Emperor was angered to death, and the two concubines after the emperor's death fought for the throne for their son. Unfortunately, in the end, neither of these two sisters managed to win, and the throne was taken away by the emperor's uncle. "
"Well, that's it." Qian mama nodded.
Leng Qiyue took a deep breath and flipped to the next page. It was written: "Dear beauty, do you want to find an emperor as your husband?" Do you want to be the idol of all women? Then come on, you're satisfied with this schoolbag. However, it is declared here that the content of this book is fictitious, and that it would be a pure coincidence if the same thing happened! "
Leng Qiyue was stunned. Just who had written this book?
