Chu Yun glared at the two girls angrily, looked at Xiao Ting, and said, "I just want to say one thing, according to the laws of our empire, after the death of the prince's main concubine, he must be buried with the prince and enter the imperial tomb, while the side concubine cannot enter the imperial tomb at all."
"What? You're thinking too far. I haven't lived enough. Who can say what will happen after death, and who cares about going to the imperial tomb?"
Although she said so, Xiao Ting still guessed, when will she go to see what this ancient imperial tomb looks like
Is it as exaggerated, solemn and grand as the ones shown on TV
Everyone: "...", so, what do you want to do
Xiao Ting rolled her eyes, hey, isn't this a good opportunity
The Ninth Prince was asleep, no one cared about her, so I just went to have a look.
So, she walked in front of Chu Yun, smiling very brightly, but Chu Yun felt hairy in his heart, "You, what are you doing?"
Xiao Ting: "Didn't you say that the imperial concubine will be buried in the imperial tomb after death? But this concubine has not seen what the imperial tomb looks like yet? Can you take me to visit it?"
Everyone was stunned and didn't know what to say.
Is the imperial mausoleum for visiting
"Visit?" Chu Yun's face darkened, but he was somewhat dignified.
Miss Xiao Liu immediately changed her words, "No, this concubine wants to pay tribute to the eras experienced by the ancestors of the past generations, and what kind of brilliance they all had."
She raised her head and spoke vividly. Seeing that Chu Yun didn't let go, Xiao Ting knew there was something going on, and said cheeringly, "Besides, my concubine will be demoted to side concubine immediately, and I will never have the chance to see it again."
"My concubine knows that you don't mind going there. After all, you and your father can be buried there forever. But this concubine is different. I am a mortal. Isn't it normal to want to visit the imperial tomb?"
sleep
Chu Yun was about to die of anger, wishing he could bite her.
Finally, under Miss Xiao Liu's three-inch tongue, they finalized their plan.
After counting the number of people, Xiao Ting took the two little ones and the red spoons and green grasses who were going to follow them to death, directly got into a carriage, and left through the side door.
When the empress dowager's order to call Xiao Ting into the palace reached the Ninth Prince's Mansion, Steward Mu went all over the palace to find the master, and finally said with a smile that his concubine might have slipped out of the mansion to play.
The father-in-law who came to deliver the decree wanted to cry but had no tears, and wanted to die. Twice a day, the decree was not conveyed because the Ninth Prince was in a coma, but he didn't even see him when he called someone into the palace.
Why is his life on his back like this
Therefore, he decided that from now on, he would avoid all the servants of the Ninth Prince's Mansion. This place is too evil. To be precise, that Ninth Prince's Concubine is not a normal person at all.
Normal people can't do such outrageous things.
The weather was just right, the sun outside was mild, and it gradually became a little cooler.
Xiao Ting is not curious about the outside world, and the two little ones are not interested. Xiao Xin is just recovering from a serious illness, but she doesn't want to stay in the palace, she insists on coming out to join in the fun.
"Sister, why don't we go tomorrow, it's almost dark today."
Xiao Xin lowered the curtain and asked a little strangely.
The others were also speechless.
Xiao Ting blinked, "Is that so? I forgot, but it doesn't matter, the imperial tomb must be underground, so it's the same to go during the day and at night, since you can't see the light anyway."
She didn't think it mattered, besides, it's really fine to stay in the palace now, but to be annoyed by those women in the palace who are making trouble.
Everyone: "..." Well, that's fine too!
When they left the city, the sky was gradually getting dark, and the green grass brought out something for them to eat, and the group was well prepared.
At this moment, there was a shout of killing outside, which seemed to be very close.
The carriage also stopped, and the green grass lifted the curtain to go outside to ask about the situation, and turned around after a while, only to say that someone was being chased outside.
But this kind of thing is very common. It has always been a matter of the world, and no one is nosy.
After the group of people left, the carriage started driving again. At this moment, the carriage jolted, as if it hit something and almost bounced back.
"What's going on?" Green Weed asked sharply.
The coachman outside immediately replied: "Green grass girl, I hit someone."
Xiao Ting had nothing else to do, and when she heard Lu Hao and the coachman talking, she got out of the carriage and prepared to go down to have a look.
Unexpectedly, when her people got out of the carriage, they were bound tightly by one hand.
She lowered her head and saw that no one was a man or a woman. People in tattered clothes were lying on the shaft of the car like dead fish, their hands were covered with mud and blood, and they looked very miserable.
"Let go..." Seeing that Xiao Ting's feet were being grabbed, Lv Hua anxiously went down to push the person.
The man looked weak and weak, but his hands held Xiao Ting's feet tightly, and he did not let go.
"Hey, what are you grabbing me for? Do you know me?"
Lu Huo wanted to roll her eyes at her, what kind of master is this, just pull anyone on the road and you will know you!
But to her horror, the man actually nodded.
Xiao Ting also felt strange, "Then, let me go first, sit down and talk slowly."
As soon as the man loosened his grip, Xiao Ting jumped off the shaft, and Lu Cai was already helping the man to sit down.
"Red Spoon, bring some water here."
After a while, the man regained his composure, looked at Xiao Ting with surprise on his face, and said, "Boss, boss, it's really you, boss!"
It was a boy's voice.
Xiao Ting: "...", what the hell is this
As soon as Lu Hui was about to reprimand, Xiao Ting stopped her.
"You said I was your boss, but do you know who I am?" Xiao Ting asked him seriously.
The young man wiped his face and said: "The sixth girl of the Xiao family, the present Ninth Concubine, Boss, do you want us?"
Xiao Ting: "...", what should she say
Boy, we really don't know each other!
Lu Hua looked at the wounds on the young man's body, and said in a low voice, "Princess, should we show him the wounds first when we go back to the city?"
As a result, a group of people were about to enter the city just after they left the city, and they almost fought with the general guarding the city gate. In the end, the green grass came to trouble, and they just stuffed some silver taels before letting them go back to the city.
A group of people came to a civilian area on the west side of the city, where there were many low houses and towering old trees, some places couldn't see the sun all year round, it was very desolate.
Especially in the land under their feet, there are only a few sporadic dogs barking along the way, which shows that there are not many people living there.
The young man led them to a dilapidated mud-walled house, pushed the door open, and the courtyard was quiet, but when they reached the middle of the courtyard, a large group of people suddenly came out from the middle hall, about a dozen of them, male, female, old and young, but they all had a unified image.
Everyone's clothes are tattered, just like teenagers.
"Xiao Tong, didn't you go to Yecheng? How did you get hurt like this?"
Everyone came forward to ask Xiao Tong with concern, Xiao Tong coughed twice, indicating that he was fine, then moved away, stepped aside, and said: "Look, who is coming to see us."
As Xiao Tong stepped back, Lu Hui, Hong Shao and the others all appeared, each holding a little one in their hands, while Xiao Ting stood in the middle.
After that, Xiao Tong moved out of the way, and Xiao Ting was completely exposed to everyone's sight.
After a brief silence, they knelt down in unison, "Boss, you are back."
"Boss, I thought you didn't want us anymore..."
"Boss, they all said that you have become the Ninth Princess and have nothing to do with us anymore..."
All of a sudden, Xiao Ting was invited in like a bodhisattva, and the two little ones were also treated with courtesy.
Xiao Ting interrupted their eagerness, and only said that she was very busy during this time, and something happened before she got married, and she forgot many things before.
So, everyone talked about the matter in a hurry.
In fact, it's very simple. Miss Xiao Liu was a lawless master.
As for to what extent, hehe, the sixth girl from the dignified uncle's family spends all day with the Qingcheng gang, also known as beggars, and even becomes the boss of this area.
They often bring money and food to them, so they are very popular with everyone.
"Then, who is this, Xiao Tong, right? You have the same surname as this girl?"
Xiao Ting said something casually, but unexpectedly, the young Xiao Tong's eyes turned red, "Boss, you gave me this surname, you have forgotten it."
"Eh..." Xiao Ting felt that she should stop saying such provocative words, it really didn't fit her person.
So, she asked what happened to Xiao Tong's injury
In the past, their Qingcheng gang had not only these people, but also had Xiao Ting as their head and back, no small gang dared to bully them.
But ever since Xiao Ting married into the Ninth Prince's Mansion and ignored them, those gangs knew that they were completely abandoned.
"They also said, Boss, you came to be our boss on a whim, because you wanted to experience life. They also said that you abandoned us and never knew us again..."
Someone was talking and wiping away tears.
Xiao Ting rolled her eyes secretly, she only promised the original owner one thing, and that was to bring her into the Ninth Prince's Mansion.
But he didn't promise to help her manage the Qingcheng Gang.
"Well, isn't this girl busy!"
The Qingcheng Gang lost Xiao Ting and was squeezed out everywhere. Even their fixed territory has been shrinking again and again, and now there are not many people left.
This time, Xiao Tong was going to Yecheng to contact his former friends, and was going to see if he could go there for a meal.
They couldn't stay in the imperial city.
Unexpectedly, the underground forces in Yecheng were fighting. The person he was looking for was found, but he was also dead.
He was also hunted down by another group of people and almost died. At the critical moment, he was kicked into the ditch by his helper to escape the catastrophe.
"Yecheng has always been a dominant family, very stable, I didn't expect such a thing to happen this time."
Some older people are obviously very aware of these forces.
Xiao Ting listened but couldn't figure it out, she was not good at these things.
"By the way, boss, this is something my friends left me, so I must find a way to hand it over to the government."
As Xiao Tong spoke, he took out a half-wet paper from his bosom, and Lu Hua took it for Xiao Ting.
Glancing at her master, she read from the side: "The master of the Ye family was killed by a traitor, the young master is missing, the matchmaker..."
Because more than half of the paper was lost, the content on it could not be read clearly at all, and Lu Cai only picked out the ones that could be seen clearly and read out.
