The gate of Xiangyi Palace was closed tightly, with white flowers still hanging on the gate, two white lanterns were lit on the palace gate, and two guards stood at the gate.
Seeing Yunshang, the two imperial guards hurried forward to greet Yunshang: "Niang Niang."
Yun Chang nodded, looked up at the words Xiangyi Palace on the plaque above the palace gate, was silent for a moment, and then withdrew her gaze: "Open the palace gate, I'll go in and have a look."
The imperial guard quickly responded and opened the palace gate.
Xiangyi Palace Yunshang has been here several times before, but only set foot again, only to find that the current Xiangyi Palace and Yunshang's memory are completely different.
The yard full of all kinds of precious flowers and plants in memory has long since disappeared, and the soil on the ground seems to have just been turned.
"Your Majesty asked someone to turn the soil in the yard?"
The imperial guards stood aside, heard Yun Shang's question, and answered in a hurry: "Yes, after finishing the funeral of Concubine Oriole, His Majesty ordered someone to dig the whole yard, almost three feet deep, But still nothing was found."
"It's just that His Majesty only let people move the courtyard, and the things in the palace remained the same. Your Majesty said, wait for the empress to come back, let the empress come and have a look first."
Yun Chang nodded, and then walked in.
Passing through the messy courtyard, he entered the main hall.
As soon as she entered the main hall, Yun Shang frowned again.
The courtyard just now, it can be said that Luo Qingyan sent someone to turn over the soil in the courtyard, so it is completely different from the memory, but what happened to the main hall
In the main hall of Xiangyi Palace, the calligraphy, paintings and some precious small ornaments that were originally placed have completely disappeared. The hall is empty, only two large vases with a height of half a person stand at the door, and a few tables and chairs are placed in the hall.
Yunshang stood silently at the entrance of the hall, and the scene when she was just reborn when she was eight years old and went to find her mother and concubine, in her mind, at that time, the mother and concubine lived in the cold palace, and the palace was even bigger than this Be quieter.
That's right, she has lived this beautiful and rich life for too long, but she has somewhat forgotten that there are always many people in this palace who praise the high and trample the low.
Previously, Concubine Li helped her handle the affairs of the harem, and the people in the Natural Palace were all holding it, sending any good things here.
Later, Concubine Li made a mistake and was placed under house arrest, and many of the people who served in Xiangyi Palace were also dismissed. I am afraid that at that time, those things that were originally stored in the palace, valuable and convenient to move, were all left. Those palace people took away.
Yun Chang walked in and walked around the hall. A thick layer of dust had accumulated on the table in the hall, as if it hadn't been wiped for a long time.
Yun Chang entered the inner hall again. The inner hall was as deserted as the main hall. Except for some large items, there were almost no decorations. It seemed that everything in the hall could be seen at a glance.
Yun Chang's eyes scanned the hall twice, and her fingers moved slightly in her sleeves.
Luo Qingyan said that Concubine Ori is a smart person, after that maid of honor, she must have a certain foresight of her own ending. Most of them will keep a copy for themselves.
So, where is that thing hidden
The maid should have thought of this too, and she should have searched inside and outside the palace.
Yun Chang stood in the hall, closed her eyes slightly, thinking in her heart, if she were, where would she hide that thing
First of all, it must be a place that I can see every day. Only when I can see it every day can I know if anyone has moved it.
Secondly, it must be hidden enough and safe enough, at least it should be a place where the palace people don't usually move, although at that time, there were only two palace people in Xiangyi Palace, and they looked at the tables and chairs in the main hall outside. The accumulated dust must have been cleaned by the two maids on weekdays, but, no matter what, it is always right to try to make sure everything is safe.
And it has to be placed in one place, even if someone wants to find it, it may not be able to find it.
Yun Chang opened her eyes, turned around in the hall, and her eyes fell on a soft couch beside the bed. There was not much dust on the soft couch, and it could be seen that it should be used by Concubine Li from time to time. thing.
Yun Chang walked over and was about to sit down on the soft couch, Qian Zhuo exclaimed, and quickly said: "Your Majesty, wait for the servant to wipe it off? After all, this couch is..."
Qian Zhuo bit her lip, wanting to say that a dead person sat there, but always felt that the word "dead" was very unlucky.
Yun Chang knew what she was going to say, so she just smiled lightly: "It's okay."
After speaking, the person sat down on the soft couch.
After Yun Chang sat down, she stretched out her hand to touch the soft couch carefully, but she didn't find anything, so she stood up again.
In addition to being soft, there is also a desk, a chair behind the desk, and a bed...
Judging from the dust on these things, these things should be used by Concubine Li every day.
Yun Chang checked them one by one, but found nothing.
Yun Chang sat on a chair and looked around, her eyes fell on a vase on the window sill, she pondered for a moment, and walked over.
Concubine Li is ill, so she probably rarely leaves this bedroom.
However, patients also need to breathe frequently, so it should be necessary to open the windows every day.
Yun Chang stood up, walked to the window, and looked down at the vase on the window sill.
The vase hadn't been filled with flowers for a long time, and a layer of black dirt had formed on the edge of the vase, and it also exuded an unpleasant smell.
Yun Chang was silent for a moment, then lowered her head and took a closer look at the vase. The mouth of the vase was very narrow, and she could only see a dark part inside, but nothing else could be seen.
After thinking about it, he picked up the vase again and shook it lightly. There was no sound in the vase, so Yun Shang turned the vase upside down again, but nothing came out.
Yun Shang silently turned the vase upside down twice, squinted her eyes, and threw the vase to the ground.
There was a sound of "bang", and the tiles splashed everywhere.
"Niang Niang!" Qian Zhuo's eyes widened: "There is something inside."
Yun Chang lowered her head, and saw a huge black mass lying quietly in the middle of those tiles.
"What's this?"
Qianzhuo picked up the thing, looked carefully, and then stood up: "It seems to be... a loofah?"
"Loofah?" Yun Shang was not very familiar with this thing, so she couldn't help looking at the thing in Qianzhu's hand with some curiosity.
"Yes, it's what's left after the loofah is old and dry, and the pulp is removed and dried." Qian Zhuo explained: "This thing, the palace people occasionally get it to wash things, and there are more dishes. .”
While talking, Qianzhuo digs inside the loofah: "There is something in it."
