Take the space supermarket to farm

On a hazy moonlit night, dotted with stars, night pedestrians are walking among the streets and alleys, just like fish swimming in the water. They shuttle freely and lightly, occasionally avoiding the heavy-footed night patrol soldiers, and occasionally avoiding the banging of their clappers and shouting: "

The weather is dry and things are dry, be careful with the candles,” said the watchman. He felt the warm wind blowing on his face and felt calm, and his mood also calmed down.

The troubles that had been plaguing her heart these past few days had now gone dormant, briefly giving way to the night traveler's good mood.

Xia Daohua visited the residences of princes and nobles everywhere, and also observed the lives of countless common people. In less than a month, she had an inseparable grasp of the capital city.

The center of the capital is the Imperial City.

There are secret passages connecting the imperial city to Cangyun Mountain outside the city, as well as secret passages connecting the royal palaces.

It's just that according to the rules, these secret passages should be tightly sealed on weekdays, and will only be opened at the end of the true dynasty. This rule was set by the ancestors of the Great Chu Dynasty, just to give future generations a way out in times of crisis.

way out.

However, this matter was not discovered by Xia Daohua, but was revealed to her specifically by Gu Mingzhen - Gu Mingzhen knew Xia Daohua's abilities. Although he did not know that she had a space supermarket, he was full of confidence in her ability to sneak and hide.

trust.

Therefore, after Mrs. Gu invited her to drink tea several times, Gu Mingzhen bluntly asked her for help - not only told Xia Daohua about the secret passage, but also suspected that someone had broken into the palace through the secret passage.

, secretly kidnapped the emperor.

He has always suspected that the reason behind all the absurd behaviors the emperor did was this - he should not be free at this time, and those orders did not come from the emperor's original intention.

However, although Gu Mingzhen noticed something was wrong, he did not dare to say anything. Firstly, his identity was sensitive, and if he or his people raised doubts, it would be difficult for people not to doubt his motives; secondly, he felt that something was wrong.

At this time, the situation was precarious, and we could no longer bear the trouble. We had to maintain the stability of the court no matter what.

In a place like the palace, there might be some treasures hidden that can upgrade the space.

If that doesn't work, just catch both of them together!

As soon as Xia Daohua made up her mind, she heard a familiar groan.

Xia Daohua turned off the thermal imaging camera, got closer and peeked through the holes in the window paper, and found that these people in the cold palace were really miserable.

The building is dilapidated, the sky is dark, and the surroundings are quiet. Occasionally, there are one or two sobbing cries, or bursts of blood-curdling howls. Even though Xia Daohua is very courageous, she was also taken aback by the sound when she first heard it.

Startled.

After scanning around, I found that despite the dilapidated and desolate environment of the houses, there were quite a lot of empty houses with no one in them. There were only two or three side halls and an apse hall, sparsely housing about ten people.

Xia Daohua was a little confused: "Why does the prince trust me so much?"

To be precise, it was like a very weak cry for mercy.

This is a rule in the palace, and both Gu Mingzhen and Gu Shanrou told Xia Daohua.

There is certainly no good scenery in this area. On the contrary, there is even a sense of desolation like a barren mountain.

She also deliberately chose a special pair of shoes with cute cat paw-shaped soles, so that if she left footprints, they would probably not arouse suspicion.

She calmed down and took a closer look, only to realize that this place was the boundary of Leng Palace.

On a whim, Xia Daohua took out an infrared thermal imaging camera and scanned the rooms in the cold palace one by one. She wanted to find someone to ask, but she didn't want to alert others, so she decided to choose the room with the fewest people.

Find the most neglected person.

However, knowing it, knowing it, this bit of knowledge cannot soothe Xia Daohua's anxiety of not being able to find the right person to ask questions.

The palace here is dilapidated and in disrepair. The people who live here are palace servants who have been convicted and lost their favor. The maids and eunuchs who are responsible for serving them are often the kind of unlucky people who are stepped on by thousands of people...

She wore night clothes, and even her head and face were wrapped tightly, leaving only a pair of sparkling eyes hidden in the darkness. Most people couldn't tell if she was doing calculations deliberately or not.

Some people were crying, howling, and chattering without giving up, some were sobbing silently, washing their faces with tears, and some seemed to have lost all vitality, sitting dumbly on their knees, leaning over, or even lying on their backs.

Lying on the ground, with unkempt hair, disheveled clothes, and dull eyes, all of them looked like bones, almost like a walking corpse.

The relationship between Lao Wei, Wei Jizu, Wei Shiqi, and Xia Daohua must have come into Gu Mingzhen’s sight at that time!

After hearing this, Xia Daohua thought for a moment, then nodded straightforwardly and agreed happily - the several reasons listed by Gu Mingzhen convinced her on the one hand, and her worry about Eunuch Wei on the other. However,

The most important thing is that she originally wanted to go into the palace and have a look.

Even if there is no treasure, it would be fine if we could steal Old Wei!

According to Gu Mingzhen, the last time he saw Old Wei, Old Wei had only half a life left. After so many days, Old Wei might only have one breath left...

The eunuchs and maids who were able to move freely seemed to be in pairs, and no one was left alone.

Gu Mingzhen said sincerely: "We have the friendship of fleeing together, and I know a little bit about your abilities. What's more, this matter is really not suitable for outsiders to know, and it is really inconvenient for the people around me to go to the palace...

…The last one is because after I saw Lao Wei last time, I was really worried, so I conducted a secret investigation..."

That night, Xia Daohua went to the palace at night.

Xia Daohua thought carefully and prepared well, but she got lost in the palace.

Not only did he fail to reach the emperor's palace, but he wandered all the way, becoming increasingly sparsely populated as he walked, and finally reached the area of ​​the Cold Palace.

But the voice sounded strangely familiar.

The two palace maids, shoulder to shoulder, with their heads lowered and hands folded, were walking in small steps. They were shivering, but they forced themselves to straighten their bodies and hurried away at the maximum speed allowed by the palace regulations.

Xia Daohua stared at the backs of the two little girls, trying hard to figure out where she had heard that voice. Then, the begging for mercy sounded again, and a low and hoarse voice angrily yelled: "I don't ask for it."

he!"

A burst of violent laughter suddenly rang out, but on such a night and in such an environment, this laughter was more frightening than the crazy words and howling of the palace people before.

Xia Daohua felt as if there was a thunder above her head - she remembered that the extremely weak voice begging for mercy was the voice of Eunuch Wei!
