Ye Rongrong had a good sense of direction and quickly flew to the well.

Looking down from the mouth of the well, the well was pitch black and nothing could be seen, but Ye Rongrong knew that there was water in the well.

If there was no water in the well, the situation at the bottom of the well would have been discovered long ago.

"Earth escape"

Ye Rongrong went directly into the ground, and soon entered the well.

Ye Rongrong has the "water attribute", even in this water, he will not suffocate due to lack of oxygen.

Coming to the well, Ye Rongrong didn't touch the treasures first, but looked at the few bones that had only bones left.

In this well, the erosion of more than a hundred years left the corpses of these maids with only bones.

"It's a bunch of poor people."

Seeing these corpses, Ye Rongrong sighed inwardly.

In the feudal era, these maids in the imperial palace were very cold. In a narrow sense, they were maids or slaves of the monarch and his family. In a broad sense, all women in the monarch's harem, including concubines, were considered court ladies.

Most of the early court ladies came from female slaves, female captives and criminals' wives.

Since then, some of the court ladies in the past dynasties began to be selected from folk "beauty pageants" and "picking girls".

"Beauty pageants" are like imperial examinations, with a set of strict rules.

Candidate women must be from good families, that is, non-doctors, non-witches, non-merchants and workers. Women from these families are called good families.

It is stipulated in the past dynasties that the maids of honor are from good families.

In the early days, the maids became the concubines and court ladies who defeated the emperor through the female captives of the defeated party.

After the Han Dynasty, the imperial court sent a large number of personnel to select beauties from good families in the common people's hometown, aged 13 to 20, to enter the palace.

Once a beautiful woman is selected as a court lady, she can no longer reunite with her family and is locked in the palace and isolated from the outside world.

Among them, only a few who are favored by the emperor can be promoted to concubines, and the vast majority of court ladies live alone in loneliness and desolation.

There was a poem in the Tang Dynasty: "Once you enter the deep palace, you don't see spring every year. Talk about a leaf and send it to your lover."

From the first day they were selected to enter the palace, they were like entering a prison, losing their personal freedom, and they were not allowed to marry outside the palace until they were 25 or even 30 years old.

Those who leave the palace early due to illness, stupidity or other reasons must be checked and heard by the chief eunuch before they are allowed to leave the palace. In ancient times, 25-year-old unmarried women had difficulty even getting married normally after they left the palace.

In order to prevent the maids from rebelling, there are harsh punishments in the palace.

Court ladies could be killed anytime and anywhere. Ming Chengzu Zhu Di’s concubine died suddenly. Because he suspected that the court ladies mixed poison in the tea, hundreds of court ladies and eunuchs were killed at one time.

It can be said that in the feudal era, court ladies were a group of very cold existences.

It was not until the fall of the Qing Dynasty that the system of court ladies and eunuchs was abolished.

"Since we have met, I will help you to bury yourself in peace!"

Ye Rongrong looked at the bones and said.

Thinking of this, Ye Rongrong put all these bones into his Qiankun ring.

After doing this, Ye Rongrong focused his attention on those dusty treasures.

There are not many things, and some are scattered.

Some are not treasures, but silver ingots, and some are very valuable things, such as agate, pearls and other treasures. As for how these things are in these wells, Ye Rongrong suspects that some of them should be stolen by these court ladies .

After all, in this deep palace compound, some court ladies couldn't bear this kind of pain, and some chose to commit suicide by throwing themselves into wells.

When people in ancient times died, they liked to have funerary objects, the more expensive the better. In the ancient people's thinking, these funerary objects can be used by themselves in the underworld.

It is very likely that these court ladies committed suicide by jumping into a well after stealing some of their master's treasures.

Of course, it is also possible that these things were rewarded to them by the masters in the palace.

These are just some speculations of Ye Rongrong.

"That is……"

Ye Rongrong set his sights on the thing that gave him strength.

"Emerald cabbage?"

Ye Rongrong saw a cabbage made of pure white jade. The shape of this cabbage made of jade is very realistic and vivid.

White and flawless, the scattered leaves look playful and elegant here; each leaf has smooth lines, dense and dense, glamorous, wrapped layer by layer, just like wrapping wealth, and the swaying posture in the wind is as charming as a fairy scattering flowers .

This is definitely the best jadeite cabbage from the hands of royal craftsmen, and it is definitely a national treasure.

"Really too beautiful?"

Ye Rongrong took this "Emerald Cabbage" in his hands with some surprise and played with it.

It has to be said that the craftsmanship of the royal craftsmen in ancient times is really unparalleled. Ye Rongrong believes that the craftsmen of today may not be able to make such a realistic "Jade Cabbage" by using high-tech means.

"It's so similar, it looks like real cabbage, and it's the best among cabbages."

Ye Rongrong scrubbed off all the dust on this "Emerald Cabbage", and this "Emerald Cabbage" became more realistic.

Although Ye Rongrong has the "water attribute", he is unaffected like a fish in the water, but anyway, this feeling is not very comfortable for Ye Rongrong.

After putting this "Jade Cabbage" into the Qiankun Ring, Ye Rongrong looked at the bottom of the well, and there was nothing valuable, so Ye Rongrong just left the bottom of the well in a desert.

Back on the ground of the Forbidden City, Ye Rongrong looked over the dark sky of the Forbidden City, and suddenly several light spots caught Ye Rongrong's attention.

Ye Rongrong directly used the "wind attribute" to fly to the place where these light spots condensed, and watched these light spots condense and form above the Forbidden City with great interest.

At the beginning, it was like small energy dots, which could not be seen at all. As time went by, these light dots gradually condensed into the human body, from the appearance of hair to the whole body. From the formation of the body to the solidification, it took more than two hours.

Ye Rongrong has been watching the formation process of this team of court ladies from the air. After the entire bodies of these court ladies solidified and formed, Ye Rongrong can clearly see that this team of court ladies is exactly the same as the team of court ladies he has encountered, almost It doesn't make any difference.

After the bodies of these court ladies solidified and formed, they floated down on the ground of the Forbidden City and began to walk slowly along the roads in the Forbidden City.

Ye Rongrong thought for a while in the air, and landed beside this group of maids, and followed them. After walking for more than ten minutes, Ye Rongrong came to the place where he met these court ladies just now.

It is obvious that these court ladies continued to move forward along the original route. The only difference is that the last place where this group of court ladies disappeared was different. It seemed that none of them had reached the place where Ye Guangrong saw the pair of court ladies disappear for the first time. It completely dissipated.

Obviously, it has not reached the original position, and the energy of this energy body has been exhausted.

The speed of energy consumption this time is much faster than the first time Ye Rongrong met these court ladies, especially as he got to the back, Ye Rongrong clearly felt that the consumption of these energy bodies was accelerating.

Ye Rongrong looked up at the sky. Although it was still dark now, it was no longer pitch black, but he could see something clearly.

The light of dawn has begun to shroud the Forbidden City, and the dark cloud that originally condensed over the Forbidden City has also dissipated.

This is because Yang Qi is rising, which accelerates the dissipation of Yin Qi. At the same time, it also causes the speed of energy dissipation of these palace ladies composed of "energy bodies" to intensify. dissipated.

Ye Rongrong looked at the sky, and then at the time on his watch, it was almost five o'clock in the morning.

After thinking about it, Ye Rongrong flew towards the west.

There is a big mountain called "Dingdu Peak" on the west side of the capital, from which you can have a panoramic view of the entire capital.

Dingdu Peak is surrounded by rolling mountains, steep mountains, jagged boulders, and steep and high peaks. It is known as "If you don't reach Dingdu Peak, you will never reach the capital" and "the first peak in the west of Beijing".

Legend has it that Yao Guangxiao once climbed to the top of Dingdu Peak to measure the topography and build the capital. Since then, the mountain has been called Dingdu Peak.

Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, once sighed after climbing the mountain: "There is nothing better than this peak for viewing the scenery, and it is a gift from God."

This Dingdu Peak is definitely a place with excellent Feng Shui.

Ye Rongrong landed in an inaccessible place on the top of the summit.

Looking at the direction, Ye Rongrong used the "earth attribute" to make five large pits in the ground facing the direction of the capital.

After doing this, Ye Rongrong put the bones of the court ladies in the Qiankun Ring into these pits one by one, and then buried them with soil.

"I can't help you with anything else. All I can do is to let your bones rest in the ground."

After burying the bones, Ye Rongrong looked at the mounds and said.

According to the traditional concept of China, the dead can only rest in peace and the living can feel at ease only if the person is buried in the soil after death.

Ye Rongrong didn't set up any inscriptions on these mounds.

After all, these court ladies are all nameless to Ye Rongrong, so he doesn't know how to erect a monument for them, and secondly, there is no need to erect a monument.

The reason why a person dies is to erect a monument for him, in fact, it is to make a mark, so that future generations will know the existence of their ancestors, know where their ancestors are buried, and they can visit their ancestors' graves during Qingming.

And these court ladies obviously have no descendants, and now they can't find any relatives, and there is no need to erect any inscriptions.

In fact, no matter whether the status was prominent or low in life, the result after death is the same, it just turns into dust.

Looking at his watch, it was already past six o'clock in the morning, and Ye Rongrong flew to his courtyard.

"Honey, when did you get up?"

Seeing Ye Glory coming in from the outside, Liu Qingqing asked suspiciously.

After all, she usually wakes up first, and her husband only gets up after the sun rises. When she wakes up suddenly, the bedside is empty, and her husband is not by her side, which makes Liu Qingqing a little unaccustomed.
