For Huang

When HP returned to Zhaoyang Temple, Apple's face was not very good.Hui Pu knew that the matter of her questioning Concubine Shu might have been known by the master.

HP's heart tightened at first, and then relaxed again.That's right, her master is wise and mighty, seeing that the apple that was supposed to send Su Yunzhi back is still in Zhaoyang Palace, but HP is gone, so he can definitely guess what happened.A death-defying expression appeared on HP's face.

Apple said in a low voice: "Master has clear rewards and punishments, so it shouldn't be difficult for you..."

Gong Qing did not punish Hewlett-Packard severely, but only made her reflect for three days.

Punishment is an attitude, the point is not the punishment itself.

There is a bit of ironism in Gong Qing's bones.In normal life, she may be relatively easy to talk and will not bring over her emotions at work.But at work, such as leading the team in the company before time-traveling, and commanding the palace staff after time-traveling, what she wants is absolute obedience.If someone disobeyed, she would not spare that person just because the person seemed to consider the issue for her on her behalf.

Therefore, in fact, Apple was also punished. Although it is also a small punishment, they should remember this lesson.Because, Gong Qing will only give one chance.She really doesn't like corporal punishment and takes human rights into account, but once her trust is lost, she will never be reused again.

Su Yunzhi directly put this matter behind her.HP's offense to her wasn't enough to hold her grudge.

Perhaps it was because she slept too much in Zhaoyang Palace during the day, but at night, Su Yunzhi lay on her comfortable big bed, but couldn't fall asleep no matter what.She tossed and turned but never felt sleepy, so she sat up depressed, hugging the quilt in a daze.This feeling really sucks.

The person on duty today is Sprite.

Seeing that Xuebi was still asleep, Su Yunzhi asked Xuebi to sit by her bed and let her chat with her for a while.

"When you were learning palace rules from the old mothers, did you hear anything funny from them?" Su Yunzhi asked.

Xuebi thought about it seriously, and said: "Most of the nuns are very serious, and they never joke with us easily."

"Are there any long-lasting rumors in the palace? It's the kind of gossip that won't easily reach the ears of the masters." Su Yunzhi asked enthusiastically, "For example, the rumors of ghosts, the woman in white Or baby crying or something! Come on, talk about it.”

Xue Bi was about to cry from fright: "Master, can we not talk about this? The servants are afraid to get up at night."

Su Yunzhi sighed: "Okay, let's not talk about this. Why are you so timid? In fact, ghosts are not scary at all, but humans are more scary. By the way, I heard that there are secrets in the palace. Dao, do you know this? Will there be a secret way in our Huayang Palace?"

As long as the topic of ghosts is not talked about, Xue Bi will be interested again, saying: "There must be secret ways. It is unlikely that there will be in Huayang Palace."

This kind of secret passage should be reserved for the emperor to escape in case of sudden danger, so it is generally unknown.Su Yunzhi guessed: "The entrance of the secret passage should not be set in the Palace of Qinzheng, although it is the emperor's territory, but because it is the emperor's territory, lest someone find out the entrance of the secret passage outside the palace and enter the palace." Come on, there won’t be a secret path in his place. Then, will the secret path be set up in the queen’s Zhaoyang Palace?”

Xuebi shook her head: "I don't know. However, the entrance to the secret passage out of the palace may also be located in the Empress Dowager's Palace."

Su Yunzhi felt that the possibility was not low, and immediately became less interested: "It would be boring to set it up in the Queen Mother's Palace. If it was in the Queen's Palace, we would find a way to dig a side road, and then we could sneak in Zhaoyang Hall. But will this project be too big?"

"Why did you go there secretly? Master, you can go there aboveboard!" Sprite was puzzled.

Su Yunzhi hated iron and said: "You can go there in the daytime, but when the palace gate is locked at night, we won't be able to pass."

"That's true. The patrol at night will be stricter than that during the day. When I was a little maid, the nuns have repeatedly emphasized that if we don't want our own lives, we can just sneak out at night and walk around freely. Let us try the ten tortures at the hands of the Janissaries."

If it was Su Yunzhi, she would definitely not be punished as long as she revealed her identity as Concubine Shu in front of the imperial guards.But in this way, she couldn't hide the fact that she went to Zhaoyang Hall without sleeping in the middle of the night.So what should she say?Could it be that she was in a bad mood to assassinate the queen?Or is it that she sleeps long and unintentionally and wants to go to the queen to exchange feelings?No one wants to believe these reasons!

"Sprite, tell me, if I loose my hair and wear a snow-white dress... If someone finds out, I'll pretend to be a female ghost and scare them to the brim, then can I go to the city smoothly?" Zhaoyang Palace?" Su Yunzhi's IQ dropped completely at this moment.

Sprite felt that the master's idea was really too bad.Why would such an idiotic question be asked by a master who is considered exhaustive?

Su Yunzhi also knew that she was whimsical, so she said unwillingly: "Oh, it's really cheap. She made me sleepless. I originally wanted to fight back. As a result, I couldn't get to Zhaoyang Hall smoothly. Ah! Hmph, she must be sleeping very soundly and soundly now!"

Sprite:……

On the second day, Su Yunzhi went to greet Concubine Su Gui again.She didn't give up yet, and planned to ask Concubine Su Gui about the secret way.

Concubine Su Gui knew that this little heartless person was spending time in the Zhaoyang Palace and would go to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing. When she saw her asking about the secret way, she didn't hide it, and said: "You all guessed wrong, the palace The only secret passage leading to the outside of the palace is in Qiuliang Palace." Qiuliang Palace is the so-called Leng Palace.

"In addition to that secret passage, there are naturally other secret passages in the palace. But the other secret passages are only twists and turns in the palace. The only secret passage that can get out of the palace is Qiuliang Palace. However, I advise you not to use that secret passage. The idea of ​​building a secret passage, because the entrance is controlled by the emperor's personal guards."

Concubine Su Gui revealed a shocking secret that most people in the palace did not know in a casual tone.

"Hey, how did that aunt know?" Su Yunzhi pretended to be obedient and asked.

Concubine Su Gui chuckled, gave Su Yunzhi a contemptuous look, and said: "These methods you have now are all left over from the Ai family's play. I have been operating in the palace for all these years, how can there be any secrets that can be revealed?" Can you hide it from me? I just don't say it, not necessarily because I don't know."

"Well, my aunt is amazing." Su Yunzhi boasted insincerely.It is not the first time that the aunt and nephew have bickered like this.

"For example, you slept on the phoenix bed all afternoon yesterday, is there such a thing?" Dowager Su Gui laughed.

Su Yunzhi was taken aback: "Auntie, Gong Qing has already cleaned up the harem, yet you can still send spies in?"

Concubine Su Gui smiled without saying a word.

Su Yunzhi suddenly understood, and turned her head to stare at Xuebi: "You leaked it, right? Gong Qing probably can't leak the news, so it can only be leaked from my side." People are definitely defenseless, and she is so stupid that she is easy to be stereotyped.

Seeing that Su Yunzhi figured it out immediately, Concubine Su Gui was not angry, and asked again: "The little queen's methods are indeed impressive. So, what do you think, have you really decided to join forces with her?" , She slammed the tea cup in her hand on the table.This action is quite handsome, and I don't know how Dou Concubine Su Gui did it. Even though the teacup was knocked heavily, the tea in the cup remained motionless without leaking a single drop.

Su Yunzhi immediately sat upright.She knew that her aunt was about to start lecturing.

Concubine Su Gui said sternly: "No matter when it is, you must remember one thing. Every time you make a decision, you represent not yourself, but the Su family behind you. There are some things that we don't have to do, the Su family You are already on a winning ground. And if you really want to wade into the muddy water, if you are not careful, the family will be destroyed because of you. As a daughter of the Su family, you must bear my advice in mind."

Su Yunzhi was not intimidated by Concubine Su Gui, and said: "Auntie, you underestimate our Su family. Not to mention that I am not the kind of indifferent, why would I become frivolous because of a little trick? Even if I If something is really wrong, the rest of the family can turn the tide."

"Turning the tide? For me, this is not a good way of saying it." Concubine Su Gui said disdainfully.

Su Yunzhi suddenly took Concubine Su Gui's hand: "Auntie, what do you want? If it's just a lifetime of stability, then even if we don't do anything, can't we be safe and secure? But, are you willing? They all say that men are superior to women, but I don't believe it, what about you?"

Concubine Su Gui said noncommittally: "Just relying on your little tricks?"

"So I want my aunt to help me." Su Yunzhi said with a playful smile, "By the way, I already want to understand why my aunt knows the secret way in the palace. The Yun Dynasty was built to overthrow the previous dynasty, and the palace is also in the former palace. It was rebuilt on the basis of the previous dynasty Guozuo for 400 years. I think there must be many secrets in this palace? It may be a book or a letter, but the secret has been preserved anyway. Auntie, you got the map of the secret path ?”

Emperor Taizu was a rough man. After he led the rebel army to occupy the imperial city, he only knew how to rob gold, silver and jewels, but he didn't know how to rob calligraphy, painting and ancient books.After moving into the imperial city, Emperor Taizu killed and buried the royal family of the previous dynasty. He only knew roughly the secrets of the imperial palace.

Concubine Su Gui was a concubine of Gaozong. During Gaozong's reign, although she had the merit of saving others, she never liked to compete for favor. She only liked to look at famous calligraphy and paintings on weekdays, so she received many similar rewards from Gaozong.At that time, everyone in the palace knew that Concubine Su was an elegant and quiet person.

The more books you read, the more secrets you will know.

"You are clever, but I really can't hide anything from you." Dowager Su Gui actually agreed to Su Yunzhi's words.

Before Su Yunzhi left, Concubine Su Gui sent her a sentence: "There is a secret passage under Tingyuxuan in Huayang Palace that can lead to Zhaoyang Palace. However, that secret passage has been abandoned for a hundred years. If you If you accidentally step on some mice, ants, dead bones, etc., it should not be uncommon."

The most indispensable thing in this palace are secrets and dead and nameless bones.
