After lighting three incense sticks and kneeling down, she respectfully kowtowed three times towards Guanyin and rubbed the incense into the incense burner. She muttered something to herself for a while and bowed three more times before standing up. Standing up, she lifted up the image of Guan Yin on the wall and patted on the wall where she was thinking.

Creak!

The bed suddenly moved, and Little Jun jumped out of it in fright. Rubbing his eyes, he opened them only to see that there was a huge hole under the bed. With a single glance, one could tell that this was not a small secret passage.

Wa ka ka!

There really was a secret passage. Furthermore, it was in the bedroom of Madam Ping. No wonder no one had come back to investigate. This was too amazing. However, she was more curious about who had created such a masterpiece.

"Follow mother!" Pang Fei held onto her hand as she walked into the secret passageway.

He stepped on the wooden ladder and followed Pingfei down the secret passageway. With a creaking sound, the door was closed.

Outside the secret passage, the bed returned to its original state and Guanyin's painting fell to the ground.

Inside the secret passageway, the pitch black area made Little Jun feel creepy. She tightly held on to Madame Pingping's hand, afraid that if she lost her mind, she would lose it.

Pang Fei took a few familiar steps forward before lighting the candles on the stone wall. The candlelight illuminated the road ahead, and a narrow secret passageway appeared in front of Little Qiao.

"Mom, this secret passageway looks really deep!" She touched the stone walls curiously. The stone walls were full of potholes, and some of the holes were filled with ants. She quickly retracted her hand.

"That's right!" Big Sister and I discovered this by accident. This place must have been left behind when we were building the palace, when people were trying to get something from the palace. However, they did not know that the workers who built the inner palace would have their mouths destroyed after being created. How could they be certain that they would live a happy life again? " Pingfei shook her head nonchalantly, wondering why the world always lived in greed.

"It's the same in this world. There are countless people who want money and want to go crazy. Mother, you don't have to pity them. " It wasn't strange for a little girl to think of this. The more greedy a person was, the more Hades would like him.

"Hm!" This small tunnel is very big. When I walk with big sister, it can lead to all the great halls of the palace. " Pang Fei nodded and continued to walk forward while blocking Xiaoxiao's path.

"The rivers and mountains of the Overlords were all built from blood. Even after the Overlord died, the imperial concubines would be buried alongside him." Xiaoxiao crossed her arms. Suddenly, she felt a gust of cold wind blowing towards her, causing her to feel goosebumps all over her body.

"This is the palace that everyone is looking at with eyes of gold. They think that once they enter, they will have everything. However, only those who enter will know that no matter how rich this place is, it is impossible for one to live the life of a normal person. "

That's right!

The palace was just a gold-rimmed birdcage, with beautiful and elegant canaries inside. In addition, these canaries were meant to be a part of the emperor's funeral.

Moving on, they turned a corner and came to a larger cave. There were all kinds of chairs and chairs in the cave, as well as a very small bed.

"Mom, someone has lived here before?" Little Qiao asked curiously.

"Hm!" For a while, my sister was afraid that it wouldn't be safe outside. At night, she would come here to recuperate. I would burn incense to keep watch. " Her life with her sister was the happiest time she had ever spent in the Imperial Palace.

Listening carefully, Xiaoxiao continued to follow after Pang Fei. After a few steps, there were suddenly more than ten forks in the road in front of her, making her feel dizzy.

"Don't worry, just follow mother and you'll be able to leave the palace very soon." Pingfei gave Xiaoxiao a reassuring smile as she took the leftmost path with great familiarity.

As she walked, she began to remind Little Treasure, "Be careful when you leave the palace. People in the martial arts world should not believe in random things. The so-called heroes and merchants of the martial world are very impatient and do not be easily deceived by them. "

"Just a little."

As Pingfei spoke, she suddenly recalled the time she was sold to the Imperial Palace. Speaking of which, if she were to meet that group of dead brats outside the palace, she must fix them up properly.

"That's right, change into a man's clothes later. It's safer to walk in the martial arts world like this." As she thought of this, she stopped and looked around. Her expression was strange as she nodded.

"Mother, what are you looking at?" Xiaoxiao felt uncomfortable being watched so she decided to walk around in a circle in front of Consort Ping to let her see more clearly.

"Alright!" We'll definitely be able to wear it. " Pingfei nodded again with a confident look on her face.

"Wear what?" Xiaoxiao pouted, completely confused.

"The clothes that elder sister left behind, you can definitely wear them." As she spoke, she pulled Xiaoxiao along.

"Do you think she often sneaks out of the palace to play?" She blinked her eyes a little. No matter how she thought about it, that seemingly elegant girl didn't have her own wildness.

"Ha ha!" Pingfei covered her mouth and laughed. The more she looked at Xiao Yun, the more she felt that she was thinking about Xiao Yun and her sister. As she walked, she opened her mouth and said, "Although you look like a weak sister, in reality, you are very rebellious. She told me that the reason I stayed in the palace was because only the palace could avoid being hunted down by its enemies. Actually, she had always been very curious about what was happening outside the palace. Furthermore, she has been looking for the owner of the other jade pendant. "

"You mean the man?" She answered without even thinking about it.

"Yes!"

Pingfei didn't plan to hide anything, so she agreed and pulled Xiaoxiao into a seemingly study cave.

There was a row of bookshelves filled with books and books inside the cave. On the stone wall, there were several spectacular landscape paintings. The paintings were vivid and lifelike; the handwriting was like flying dragons and dancing phoenixes.

It was a pity that these paintings could only be hung in places like this. Such good things should have more people who knew how to appreciate them.

If these paintings were to be hung in royal father's study, perhaps he would be able to fix the thought of being poisoned.

"These are all written by elder sister. Look, how good is elder sister's painting? Many of the books here were retrieved from outside the palace. Sister really likes to read and draw, and also has the ability of photographic memory, every time we leave the palace, will return a lot of folk books and slips. "My sister said that these books record many interesting things about the people, and that she often reads them at night." Pingfei's gaze once again exuded nostalgia. She touched the paintings on the wall, and then looked at the long sandalwood table. She seemed to see her elder sister again, dressed in men's clothing, elegantly waving her brush, writing a handsome picture scroll.

"Elder sister!"

Excited, she rushed to the table to hug her elder sister, but all of a sudden, she missed.

Her heart ached as she clutched her chest, her eyes were hazy, looking at the light on the candlestick, she took a deep breath.

"Mother!" "Mother!" Xiaoxiao understood the sadness of this disappointment and walked over consolingly to hold Princess Pingping's hand. Looking at the disappointment that flashed across her face once again, she felt very upset. He wanted to speak up to comfort her, but he didn't know what to say.

"That's right!" Gone. Everything no longer existed. "Big sister left. She took away everything. She took away the happiness in the rouge hall. She also took away the hatred in the hearts of those women." Pingfei lowered her head, not wanting Xiaoxiao to see the tears in her eyes. Releasing her small hand, she stumbled over to the stone wall.

Supporting herself on the wall, she raised her head and stared intently at the painting on the wall. He felt that there was one thing missing, and that was the picture the emperor had asked the painter draw for his sister.

"NO!" Mother, you are wrong. She is gone, but she has left you with a good memory, a hope, and a source of happiness. " Pingfei had already lived in pain for more than twenty years, and his appearance here was a relief from her pain.

Emancipation meant letting go of the past and letting go of all the pain.

Pingfei closed her eyes, her mind replaying the memories of her life with her sister. The corner of her mouth curled up into a smile that she hadn't seen for a long time as she used her memories to fill her mind up.

Right! A novel can only be released if it is released.

Looking at Xiaoxiao, the corners of her lips curled up in a pleased smile.

Seeing her smile, Xiaoxiao was even more confident in herself. She pulled her hand and continued to comfort her, "Memories are beautiful, but …" Memories could not be repeated, could occasionally be remembered, but could not stay in it forever. She must want you to live well and happily, and not like the body that has only the body and the soul that is no longer there. "

"I... I just can't forget the past. Those things are really too memorable. " Pingfei shook her head sadly. She didn't dare to walk out of the rouge hall because she wanted to escape from reality. Being able to live in memories was far more comfortable than facing those hateful faces every day.

"Mother!" "Then just remember all the good things that are etched into your heart." Xiaoxiao tilted her head as she looked at Pingfei, hoping that her happiness would move her.

"Yes!" Pingfei nodded vigorously and pulled Xiaoxiao to the side of the stone wall.

The stone walls were clean and smooth, and a small wooden chest that looked rather old could be seen from the picture of a woman. It seemed like it had been there for quite some time.

She bent down and opened the wooden box. Inside the wooden box were several sets of men's clothes and a delicate dagger. With trembling hands, she picked up the clothes her sister had once worn and looked at her very seriously.

Xiaoxiao slowly walked over and stretched out her hand, respectfully catching the clothes. The clothes emitted the scent of rouge and flowers, as if someone had just worn them yesterday.

Pang Fei was afraid that she was too excited to be in pain again. She turned around and wiped her tears away before taking out the dagger from the box and handing it to Xiaoxiao. "Take this too!"

"Whiz!"

Little Jun drew his dagger, his eyes shining with surprise.

What a beautiful dagger. The shell of the dagger also had rouge blossoms. Every single stroke of the petal was extremely exquisite, and could be said to be a priceless treasure. Looking at the sharp edge of the blade, it was bright and clear. Under the reflection of the candlelight, a speck of light could be seen moving along the edge of the sword, making it seem like it was alive.

"This was made for big sister by that man. Just like that jade pendant, big sister always wore it on her body. Take care of this thing. If you really touch it, it will be very easy for you to recognize it. " Pang Fei stared at the dagger. Many times, she had seen her sister secretly cry as she stroked it. She knew that this was her sister's painful longing for a man.

"Has Mother seen that man?" Little Jun admired the dagger, his heart becoming more and more curious as to what kind of man possessed such an exquisite craftsmanship.
