Chapter 123: Ancient city obsession 3

Views:

The sky gradually darkened, and all the lights in the palace were turned on, and then gradually turned off. I walked softly and didn't find or get any information, so I could only prepare to find a place to rest.

As a group of maids walked into the side hall on one side, this side hall met my requirements. The room is large, and the terrain is remote, close to the city wall. One thing that satisfies me is that this is the bedroom of the court lady, um, it shouldn't be called the bedroom.

Standing at the door, I despised my shamelessness, and then despised my pretentiousness, I stepped into the bedroom with a resolute look on my face.

Perhaps it was because the maids had to wait for the summons at any time, even in the middle of the night, the oil lamps were still lit in the bedroom, but the brightness was a bit low, not only did not give the hall a bright feeling, but it seemed a little weird.

I came a bit late, almost all the maids had already rested, only two or three maids were sitting in a corner chatting quietly.

How did I just discover this place? I really regret it in my heart. I should have come here if I knew earlier. Wiping the tears of regret from the corners of my eyes, I went to sit down next to the few court ladies who were still chatting.

It's far away from the oil lamp, and the maids' backs are facing the oil lamp, so I can't see their faces clearly.

But the fuzzy obscene clothes in the oil lamp have already made my nose bleed, but a word from one of the maids instantly made me forget all my random thoughts.

"Xiao Tao is too pitiful. She was directly killed by the queen. I heard that she was chopped into pieces. It's terrible."

"That's right, in order to suppress that dry well, all the court ladies serving Concubine Xian were killed."

"Maybe it's because I'm afraid that the matter of killing Concubine Xian and the Second Prince will be spread by those maids."

"Shh, don't dare to talk nonsense."

"..."

The ladies in the court finally let me get further news with their sad tone, and the impression of the scary queen in my mind also fell again, reaching the bottom.

It’s just that after one of the maids said that they suspected the queen, the topic of the ladies changed, which made me very depressed, but there was nothing I could do. After listening for a while, the ladies were about to go to bed, so I had no choice but to choose one Zhang said that it was the bed of the maid who would not come back tonight and fell asleep.

It is said to be a bed, but it is actually just a large bunk. I lay down, surrounded by the vague figure of the court lady and the faint body fragrance. This night, I was in pain and happiness.

I don't even know when I fell asleep until I was woken up by a loud noise.

Rubbing my eyes, I was stunned. The maid is a very hard job. It is not yet bright outside, and the maids have already woken up, grooming and changing their clothes, preparing for a new day of work.

I watched with sympathetic eyes the busy maids, the young ones were only 14 or 5 years old, and the older ones would never exceed 30 years old, which is the most brilliant age in a woman's life, but unfortunately, they have to do it for their own Survive and be busy.

Two maids came towards me in amazement, I hurriedly stood up and moved out of the way, only to see a round-faced court lady pointing at the place I had just taken and said: "Ah, why is there so much blood again?"

"Yeah, whoever slept in my sister's place last night, my sister will be unhappy when she comes back." Another thinner court lady also said exaggeratedly.

The maids around all turned around and looked over, making a chirping sound, my nose, which I had already covered, suddenly burst into blood, and almost rushed my hand away, I have to get out quickly, I will die soon.

With a reluctant gaze, I still quickly left the hall, put down my bloody hand, and took a deep breath of fresh air. There was a gurgling sound in my nasal cavity. God knows how many nosebleeds I had.

The maids filed out of the bedroom, and began to walk to different places in batches. From the chats of the maids, I knew that these maids were all low-class court ladies, and most of them did some work such as cleaning and wiping, and the dry well was just a few meters away. It is called the place not far from Yongnian Palace.

I don't know where the Yongnian Palace is, so I need to wait for the maid who is going to the Yongnian Palace to come out, and then follow her away.

Fortunately, the ladies of the palace did not go to the work place in groups of three or five like the modern work, but they need to gather at the door of the bedroom, then stand in a row, and go to their respective work areas according to a certain pace and order.

Among them, you must not deviate, you must not jump in line, and you must not make noise. To be honest, it is quite similar to the behavior of elementary school students, which is just convenient for me.

After a while, I found the team going to Yongnian Palace. The number of people was much smaller than other teams, but there were 16 people, but all of them showed reluctance. It seemed that Yongnian Palace would not be a good place.

As the maids walked forward, no one spoke during the period, and they even walked lightly. Occasionally, they would greet a eunuch or maid in unison, as if they had been rehearsing for a long time.

Yongnian Palace is a bit far away, and it is also close to the city wall. The palace looks a bit dilapidated compared to the previous palaces. It seems to be just like what I thought, it will not be a place where high-end concubines live.

The only thing I didn't expect is that the Yongnian Palace is very large, twice as big as the palaces I passed just now.

The maids seem to be very familiar with their work, and they separated after entering the Yongnian Palace. I didn't know who to talk to for a while. Anyway, I have already arrived at the Yongnian Palace, so I just searched slowly by myself.

Most of the dry wells will not be in the temple, so I bypassed the buildings and started to search, and the more remote the place, the more carefully I searched. Unfortunately, I searched for more than half but found nothing.

Just as I was about to take a good rest in a rockery, suddenly I heard a faint voice coming from inside the rockery.

I searched around and found a small path to the back of the rockery. This rockery is made of many huge stones, and there are many gaps in it. In one of the gaps, an eunuch and a maid are whispering. speak.

Talking should be inaccurate, because the two of them are not really talking about anything, but talking to each other. The eunuch's coat is messy, while the maid's skirt has been pulled down to her chest, revealing her snow-white thighs and white obscene pants.

Spicy eyes, I stared at this scene intently, despised in my heart, what about eunuchs, do they still have functions? But when I saw the appearance of the court lady, I despised her even more. Even eunuchs can find such a beautiful woman.

The eunuch stretched his hand from the edge of the maid's panties, but the maid grabbed her hand, and only heard the maid's panting voice: "Don't, don't be here, I'm afraid."

The eunuch replied: "No one will come here." After speaking, his hands were vigorous again.

But the maid pulled the eunuch's hand out all of a sudden, and said: "Not long ago, all the maids of Concubine Xian were killed and fell into the dry well. I'm really afraid, let's leave."

I didn't pay attention to what the eunuch was still saying, because I had already discovered the dry well mentioned by the maid, and it was actually less than 3 meters away from the two of them, but I didn't pay attention just now.

I took a closer look, and there was a wall less than one meter built around the dry well, and on the wall were painted with red cinnabar, which I could not understand. There are countless monsters carved with fangs and claws, and their appearance is terrifying.

It's the ghosts and ghost messengers from the underworld. After watching for a while, I've confirmed it, because there are two ghosts with tall hats sticking out their tongues. It is the shape of black and white impermanence in the underworld.

It seems that I found the right place, but there are people now, so it is not convenient for me to check.

I glanced at the eunuch and the maid. The maid was obviously persuaded by the eunuch and was cooperating with the eunuch. I bent down and picked up a stone and threw it over. There was no way, if I didn’t take action, I would even despise myself.

The stone fell on the rockery next to it, but it didn't attract the attention of the two people who had forgotten themselves. I had no choice but to go over and pat the eunuch on the shoulder, who knew that the eunuch just reached out and patted his shoulder, and ignored it, just like slapping away a fly.

Uh, I got even more depressed, and kicked the eunuch's ass hard.

"Ouch." The eunuch screamed, and he couldn't help but threw himself in the direction of the maid, then turned around, then was dazed, and then trembled.

The maid was thrown by the eunuch, and her back hit the rockery, she also let out a cry of pain, and was looking angrily at the eunuch who turned back.

I picked up a dead branch on the ground, and then lashed towards the eunuch under the terrified eyes of the eunuch and maid.

The eunuch let out a deafening scream, then pushed the maid, and ran away in disheveled clothes, and the maid also screamed, then turned and ran, but didn't notice that the panties had retreated to the corner of her feet, and she was tripped , hit his head hard on the rockery, and his head was bleeding immediately, but the maid didn't care about it, she lifted her trousers, and quickly chased after the eunuch's back.

To be honest, at this moment, I felt very happy, probably saving a girl who was about to go astray.

Seeing the two running away, I continued to observe the dry well, and pushed the stones on top of the dry well with my hands. As expected, they remained motionless. This is a bit nerve-wracking, obviously found the place, but found that there is no way to shake this boulder.

After searching around, the bottom of the boulder seems to have been deliberately polished, and the wellhead was sealed tightly without any gaps at all.

Wipe the cinnabar on the wall, and this cinnabar seems to have been specially treated, there is no way to remove it, scraped it with a stone a few times, leaving shallow marks on the wall, but the cinnabar is still intact.

Didn't it mean that many court ladies were killed and thrown into the dry well a few days ago? Why can't I see any traces of opening it at all? I shouldn't be wrong.
