Bai Lu was super powerful, and he did what he said, so he sneaked into the harem in the dark that night, climbed up the wall of Donghua Garden neatly, took out two apricot-sized stones from his pocket, and looked inside, only I saw that the lights in several houses were dark, and the lanterns in the yard were all extinguished.

According to the modern time, it is only nine o'clock in the evening, and it's not even the curfew time. Does Concubine Mei usually go to bed so early?Shouldn't it be like in TV dramas, to cultivate one's sentiments by lighting candlelight and reading poems?

Bai Lu didn't think too much, he raised a stone and wanted to smash it on the window, when suddenly he heard a creak, and the door of the main house was pushed open from the inside out.

By the faint moonlight, Bai Lu saw the maid, Bi Tao, come out from the inside, came to the well on the north side of the courtyard, and fetched a bucket of water.

Bai Lu guessed that she might have waited for her master to fall asleep and wanted to fetch water to wash her hair and body, so she planned to wait for her to return to the house after fetching water before continuing his great cause of revenge.

However, what he didn't expect was that after Bi Tao finished fetching water, she turned around and suddenly saw his figure lying on the wall under the moonlight, she was so frightened that her face paled, and she shouted in shock: "Who's there?! "

Bai Lu couldn't cry, so he had to give up temporarily, turned over and fell off the wall, and slipped away quickly.

Although the window was not smashed, Bai Lu had nothing to be unhappy about. Anyway, as long as he doesn't run into Concubine Mei when walking around the palace, he is already very happy.

Only then did he feel that foot restraint was a good idea, at least he could live a clean life for a few days.

The only bad thing is that the weather has been getting hotter and hotter recently, but it's okay in the house, one is that it can shield the sun from the sun, and the other is that there are ice mirrors in each room of the White Hart Palace.

This thing is really good. It is filled with large and small ice bricks. It not only exudes bursts of chill, but also can dissipate heat. It can also put fruits, glutinous rice wine, milk and other things into the ice. It is truly unique in the world. precious.

It is said that the ice cubes used in summer were collected by special personnel in winter and stored in deep cellars, but generally speaking, more than half of them will melt after summer, and the loss rate is very high.

So Chu Ya, a talented student, appeared again, and taught people how to make ice with saltpeter.The mineral is widespread and easy to mine, and when dissolved in water it absorbs enough heat to freeze the surrounding water.

With this method, not only royals and nobles can use ice in summer, but even a little richer people in the city can afford it. There are even vendors selling ice products on the street—a kind of milk and fruit cubes. Food mixed into chopped ice, very similar to modern shaved ice.

It's just that the price is a little expensive, and only wealthy families will buy it.

Although it is nice to stay next to the ice mirror, but there is no such good treatment outside, the sun is shining, the air is hot, and the slim dark blue guard uniform is simply a solar heat absorber, which is hard to come by for the bright sunlight refuse.

Chu Ya probably wanted Bai Lu to back down, obediently give up being a bodyguard, and go to a cool and comfortable study to be a relaxed clerk, so he kept an attitude of watching the situation from the sidelines.

Wearing stuffy clothes to patrol under the scorching sun, or sitting in a cool study room, sipping iced mung bean soup, eating cold fruit platter, reading interesting novels or picture books, as long as you have a good brain, you know which one to choose.

But Bai Lu was unwilling to do what he wished, and Chu Ya would definitely laugh at him if he became a deserter at this time.

So Bai Lu changed into loose and light white silk clothes, poured cold glutinous rice wine into the cup, and ran to the guards as usual.

One day he chatted with Geng Qing on the stone bench under the big tree in the garden, talking about Geng Qing's younger brother Erhua, "Erhua is terribly hot, and now he stays in the house every day holding the ice mirror and never letting go, even sleeping. Spread a mat and lie next to the ice mirror."

Bai Lu took a sip of the ice-cold glutinous rice wine, nodded in agreement, "It's so hot, I don't want to go out."

"Now the restaurant owners are trying to make iced milk tea, adding some red beans and mung beans in it, and the sales are actually pretty good."

Bai Lu proudly said: "Of course, milk tea is easy to make."

He suddenly paused, raised his head and sniffed around, "Did you smell a strange smell? It stinks..."

"Really?" Geng Qing also smelled it, and suddenly frowned, "It smells like something is rotten, I'll go, it can't be some wild cat or dog died in the garden, look for it quickly, It will be troublesome if there are worms."

The two quickly put down the cups, smelled the smell and searched in the garden for a long time, and finally locked their target on the rockery in the middle of the pool.

The pool area is very large, and the rockery in the middle is not small. There are large and small stone caves on the mountain, and the shape is very beautiful.

Bai Lu and Geng Qing took off their shoes, rolled up their trousers, and walked to the rockery by wading through the knee-deep pool of water.

As soon as he got close to here, Bai Lu immediately smelled a strong smell, like the smell of more than ten catties of pork put in a refrigerator with power outage, all rotten and spoiled, and then retting in rotten water for several days. No one dares to approach.

There were also more flies buzzing around, and Bai Lu had a vague premonition, thinking that this might not be the power brought by the corpses of wild cats and dogs.

He held his breath, stepped on the rocks and climbed up the rockery neatly. When he looked into the largest cave, his face turned pale, his pupils shrank suddenly, and his body stiffened in place.

Geng Qing climbed up with great effort, saw him standing still, and asked strangely, "What's wrong?"

Then he followed Bai Lu's gaze and looked in, his whole body was shocked, "!!! What, what's going on?!"

I saw a woman's body lying abruptly in the two-meter-square stone cave.

She seemed to have been dead for a long time, her skin was a dull turquoise, covered with dark purple corpse spots, and in some places, the skin and flesh were even detached, and the skin on the back of her hand hung on the flesh like a thin film.

She lay on her back, her eyes and mouth wide open, her pupils dilated, and flies crawled over her eyeballs.

It is impossible to identify who she is, because her body has doubled in size due to the corrupt gas, her limbs are thick and swollen, her belly is swollen as if she is pregnant, and her face is so swollen that she can no longer see the details of her appearance. Her clothes and hair make it out to be a woman.

The stench hit his face, Geng Qing couldn't hold back for a moment, turned his head to support the stone, bent down and vomited, and vomited up everything he ate in the morning.

Bai Lu's stomach was also churning violently, but relying on his previous life's ability to watch suspenseful movies, he managed to hold back the vomit.

"Who the fuck is this?!" Bai Lu suppressed his nausea, found a clean place to lay his feet, stood a few steps away from the corpse, and looked at the clothes on her body.

The embroidery on the clothes is very delicate, and the jewelry on her head is also very expensive. She is definitely not an ordinary court lady.

Bai Lu already had a vague guess in his mind, but shouldn't she be grounded? How could she die in this kind of place? Besides, she has been dead for a few days now. There are so many maids and eunuchs in the palace, so no one notices? ?

Geng Qing walked over, clutching his nose, and reminded with a frown: "I told you not to get so close, the corpse is swollen like this, it might explode..."

Before the next word was finished, the corpse on the ground suddenly trembled a few times, and then the almost transparent abdomen was swollen by the rotten gas, and then the skin was finally overwhelmed, and it exploded with a bang, pus and water The rotten flesh and blood celestial maidens scattered like flowers around, splashing Bai Lu and Geng Qing all over.

"meet……"

Bai Lu's eyes darkened, his throat convulsed, he couldn't hold it any longer, he quickly ran out of the cave, knelt down by the water, trembling all over, and vomited out everything in his stomach.

Geng Qing was worse than him, he had already vomited once, but now he almost vomited all the gall, his face was pale, as if he had lost half his life.

After the incident was reported to the guards, many people soon came and surrounded the pool layer by layer.

In the bathroom of the White Deer Palace, Bai Lu took off his clothes and threw them outside, then stood on the wooden floor, pouring buckets of hot water on himself.

It wasn't until he washed away all the blood on his body and the peculiar smell completely dissipated that he breathed a sigh of relief and stepped into the bath a few meters away.

Herbs for relaxing muscles and relieving fatigue were added to the bath, and fragrant flower petals floated on the water, which could comfort Bai Lu's frightened heart a little.

When Chu Ya came in, he saw him half-lying in the bath with his eyes closed, leaning his head on the wooden pillow by the pool, looking exhausted, a drop of water slid down the side of his face, it looked like tears.

He squatted down next to Bai Lu worriedly, and squeezed his shoulders, "A Bai, are you alright?"

Bai Lu opened his eyes, and said dumbly: "I think I'm going to leave a psychological shadow. Now I have PTSD about the pork in the kitchen."

Chu Ya smiled gently, "Let me go out with you."

After he finished speaking, he was about to take off his clothes and go into the water. Bai Lu hurriedly stopped him, and said hesitantly, "Don't... I might not have washed it clean, and it's still a little dirty..."

"It's okay, you are clean no matter what."

Chu Ya took off his clothes and stepped into the bathtub, took advantage of the opportunity to hug Bai Lu into his arms, kissed his side cheek comfortingly, and said with a smile, "Okay, do you feel better now?"

Bai Lu understood his intention, and turned his head a little awkwardly, "It's okay..."

The temperature of the water in the bath seemed to have suddenly risen, and being naked in Chu Ya's arms, Bai Lu felt hot all over his body, so he hurriedly changed the subject, "Did you find out who came to that corpse? ?”

Chu Ya looked at him with a half-smile, "Didn't you already guess it?"

Bai Lu opened his eyes slightly, "Is it really Concubine Mei?"

"I asked Ling Feng to look at it. From the clothes, I can confirm that the corpse is her."

Chu Ya's expression was too calm, as if he knew this would happen a long time ago.

Bai Lu looked at him suspiciously, a chill suddenly shot up his back, he broke away from the other's arms with a little fear, and floated a little away along the water, "Did you kill it?"

Chu Ya looked at the empty arms, and laughed dumbly, "No, am I such a vicious person in your heart?"

Bai Lu thought about it, and felt that the young man who was cooking for him in the kitchen in a hurry didn't seem like he could kill someone, but he asked again, "Is it really you?"

Chu Ya was helpless, "I really didn't do it."

"Okay." Bai Lu dubiously returned to Chu Ya's arms, took his hand and put it on his waist, and returned to the original intimate position.
