After speaking, he turned and walked out.
"Wait a minute!" Qingchuan shouted hurriedly. Seeing Xuezhen turning around, she hurriedly unloaded the baggage she had brought and spread it on the table, exposing the jewellery inside, and said flatly to Xuezhen: "I just arrived here, and I don't understand anything, and I have to need everyone's help. These things are not worth any money, but they are also the emperor's reward. Please give me a point for my aunt."
I never thought that Xuezhen just glanced at the table and smiled coldly, "It's a quiet place, so you can't afford it. You'd better put it away by yourself, and let's go."
After speaking, he took the maids and left, only Qingchuan and the maid named Yinshuang were left in the house. Qingchuan looked stupid, so he just looked outside the door and said strangely: "The people here are so strange, they don't even need money."
Yinshuang sneered when she heard it, "I don't want it, but I want it all."
Qingchuan didn't understand it for a while, and couldn't help asking: "What do you mean?"
Yin Shuang said: "According to the rules here, if a person dies, all items belong to the aunt in charge. In other words, if you die, your things will belong to her."
Qingchuan was taken aback when she heard it, and hurriedly laughed out loud, saying: "She is so old and I am so young. How could I die in front of her? It seems that her wishful thinking was wrong."
Yin Shuang didn't speak, but looked at her indifferently until she couldn't laugh anymore, and then said coldly: "It's your wishful thinking that you made a mistake. The female officials who come here to guard the mausoleum generally don't live for half a year. You just Didn't you see it, just carried one out."
Qingchuan was stupid. She invited herself to guard the mausoleum in order to survive. How could she not think that it would be such a scene when she came here? She sat for a moment in a daze, and couldn't help but mutter to herself: "No, I can't sit and wait. , I want to escape."
Yin Shuang, who made the bed on the side, sneered, and said, "This is a copper wall and iron wall, how do you escape? Don't talk nonsense, go to sleep, or you will definitely not be able to survive tomorrow." After speaking, he blew out the oil lamp and lay on the bed. .
Where can Qingchuan sleep? She looked around, sat down slowly, and muttered, "What the hell is this?"
On the second day, Qingchuan understood what Yin Shuang meant by saying that she couldn’t keep up. From getting up early in the morning until the old lady kowtow before her spirit, she was stayed by Xuezhen and knelt there to pray for the old lady. Then he didn't even call to rest, and immediately followed by copying the scriptures.
Looking at the thick stack of scriptures, Qingchuan said bluntly: "Auntie, it is impossible for me to copy these completely today."
Xuezhen looked cold and frosty, and said lightly: "There are more scriptures to be copied tomorrow."
Qingchuan hesitated for a while, then asked, "What should I do if I can't finish copying?"
Xuezhen replied: "You can't eat dinner if you can't finish copying."
Qingchuan was shocked, and asked, "Isn't it possible that I can't finish copying every day, and I don't ask to eat dinner every day? Wouldn't it be starving to death?"
Xue Zhen's expression remained unchanged, and she said coldly: "The servants who starve to death will start playing the emperor. Please order you to be named a noble person and be buried with the old concubine."
Qingchuan dared not argue anymore, and honestly copied the scriptures.
After going through this for a long month, Qingchuan's body became a little unbearable, and Yinshuang secretly said that she was right. If this continues, she will definitely not survive the aunt. Can't you wait to die like this? I still have to get out. She was interested in surveying the terrain, but Xuezhen took care of them and the maids very tightly, and there was no chance to wander around at all.
Qingchuan was in distress for a few days, but couldn't think of a way until he accidentally saw the pearl necklace gifted by the concubine on his chest. Suddenly, he thought about it.
On this day, taking advantage of the opportunity to go to morning class, Qingchuan secretly slammed the necklace off his hand and suddenly broke the necklace. The pearl fell on the ground and flew out all of a sudden. Qingchuan hurriedly exclaimed: "Oh, awful. That's awful."
Xuezhen, who was walking in the front, turned around and asked displeasedly: "What's the surprise?"
Qingchuan looked anxious, looking for pearls with her head down, she replied: "The pearl necklace that Empress De concubine wants me to enshrine in front of the old concubine's spirit is broken, this is the empress's beloved thing, she said Someone will be sent over to get them in a while. If the pearls are missing, I'm afraid the entire garden will be implicated!"
Xuezhen was also afraid of Concubine De's reprimand. Seeing that Qingchuan was so careless, although she was very angry, she couldn't help it. She had no choice but to say: "Why are you so careless?" After speaking, she hurriedly ordered the ladies around her: "Come on, hurry up, help her find pearls."
Everyone gathered in a hurry, bowed their heads to help Qingchuan pick up the pearls scattered on the ground, and handed the pearls to Qingchuan. Xuezhen asked, "But are you all here?" Qingchuan had already hidden in secret. After a few get up, wherever they will be together, he said in a very frustrated book: "There are still a few stars, Xu Ye rolled away."
Xuezhen didn't doubt that he had him, and ordered everyone to look around. Qingchuan took this opportunity to take a closer look at the environment in the garden, and secretly said in his heart: The main hall is close to the place where the Imperial Guards live, and they will be discovered as soon as they go out. There are guards at the door, and the fence is so high that even a fly can't get out. The backyard is the underground palace, but it is the closest to the outside, but there is no exit... But because there is no exit, the defense is relatively lax...
She looked around, knowing that she knew about it, she shouted: "I found it, I found it. All the pearls are here, a lot of them. I'll go and put them on."
But Xuezhen over there said: "No need, put it here, I will keep it for you, and all the jewels in your house, also give me all, so as not to lose this and lose it, and make people turn their backs. Chickens and dogs are restless."
Qingchuan knew that Xuezhen would have no good intentions when she said this, but there was no reason to refuse, so she had no choice but to hand all the pearls to Xuezhen's hands and replied, "Yes."
According to the rules, everyone will take turns to guard the tomb in the Toffee’s Palace, but the underground palace is gloomy and depressed, and they have to face the coffin of the old concubine. Everyone is a little scared in their hearts, so there will always be people who will find this or that excuse. Escape to escape from the guard. The maid on duty today confessed to Xuezhen again: "Aunt, can I not go to the underground palace to guard the mausoleum for a while?"
Xuezhen knew the thoughts of these little palace ladies, and asked, "Why?"
The little palace lady was afraid of Xuezhen and screamed: "I... I'm not in good health. My chest tightness and shortness of breath as soon as I enter that place, I'm afraid I will die inside."
Xuezhen said coldly: "It's best for you to die inside. It is also an honor to have a maid who is willing to die for the old concubine in the garden."
Qingchuan next to her heard it but her heart moved. He rolled her eyes and said to Xuezhen: "Auntie, since she is not in good health, why not go for her."
"You?" Seeing that she actually made this request, Xuezhen couldn't help but feel suspicious, and glanced at her coldly, "Who have you gone to pray for the old lady?"
Qingchuan hurriedly replied: "It's okay to pray in the underground palace. Isn't it more useful to the body than to the spiritual position?"
Xuezhen looked at her and saw that she had a sincere face and did not look like a liar, but after all, she was still a little worried about Qingchuan, and said, "Well, since you have said so, I will fulfill you. , But you better not play any tricks. Yinshuang, you stare at her."
Yin Shuang responded and took Qingchuan down to the underground palace. Inside the underground palace is the place where the coffin of the old concubine was located. Because it was dug underground, the wind and wind whizzed as soon as I entered, making people feel cold all over the body. Qingchuan followed Yinshuang to kneel down in the coffin, and did not kneel in front of the coffin to pray for blessings like Yinshuang, but stood up.
Yin Shuang looked strange, and asked, "I haven't finished the morning class yet, what do you want to do?"
Qingchuan had the idea of exploring the underground palace in her heart, so she turned around and deliberately scared her: "I heard the old people say that the soul will stay in the world within a month after death, so I must worship her to pray for her. , You must visit all places, otherwise you have a morning class, but the good fortune is not reported to her, she will come to you in the evening."
A look of fear flashed across Yinshuang's face: "Is it true
Qingchuan promised: "No matter whether it is true or not, I will worship all around, lest the old lady come to see me at night."
After speaking, he ignored Yinshuang and worshiped everywhere with his hands together. Yin Shuang was stunned for a moment, but he didn't know what he thought of, and then climbed up and began to worship. Qingchuan smiled secretly when she saw it, but she didn't dare to show any signs on her face. He only muttered words and wandered into the underground palace.
Suddenly a mouse jumped out of the corner and whizzed past. Qingchuan was observing intently whether there were secret passages in the underground palace, and almost stepped on the mouse and screamed in fright: " what-"
Yinshuang outside heard the movement and hurriedly asked: "What's the matter?"
Qingchuan exclaimed, "Why are there mice in there?"
Yinshuang heard it loose, and replied with no surprise: "Before the underground palace is sealed, a few air holes are usually opened to allow the living people to come and go freely. After seven or forty-nine days, the underground palace is sealed. , These pores should also be closed."
Qingchuan listened for a moment, and took the courage to take a closer look at the cave that the mouse had just drilled out, and saw that the hole was no more than the size of a fist, and it was really just an air hole for ventilation. That's it! But how can this hole be enlarged
Yinshuang didn't know that Qingchuan had hidden the idea of escape, but said, "Okay, don't look at it, come over for morning class! It's better to leave early after morning class!"
Afraid of causing Yin Shuang's suspicion, Qingchuan hurriedly glanced at the stomata before coming to the outside room for morning class. After the two went out after morning class, Xuezhen left the scriptures for Qingchuan to copy. Seeing that Xuezhen didn't give her any time to rest, Qingchuan clearly tortured her deliberately, and the idea of running away became firmer in her heart.
