Chapter 9 The Old Palace Maid Dies



"This isn't really a secret!"

"There are fake Taimiao, the real one..."

Li Mu didn’t know what to say?

The royal family worships their ancestors, but can they worship fake ancestors?

"Of course. This Taimiao is where the unimportant royal family members from past dynasties are placed. The real royal burial site should be the Taimiao."

Han Lao Mo Dao.

From the tone of his voice, Li Mu seemed to have no idea where the real Taimiao was.

He doesn't seem to be interested in the real Taimiao either.

Who spread the rumor that Han Lao Mo also came to the palace to look for the Taimiao?

"I can see the ranking of the previous emperors in this Taimiao."

"What's the point of the previous emperor? He was at best the administrator of the dynasty. The real Taimiao must be the most powerful master in the royal family. I just don't know where that master is hiding."

"Where's the clan house?"

"It's impossible to be in the palace anyway." said Han Lao Mo.

"It's interesting that the Imperial Ancestral Temple isn't in the Imperial Palace."

Li Mu nodded, turned and left.

"Senior, please don't go! Can you let me out?"

"Just stay here! With my true energy, you won't die. Polish your character, and I'll tell you when I'm happy."

Only Li Mu's voice could be heard at the end of the dungeon.

Li Mu was never seen again.

"Hey! I'm really wronged!" Han Lao Mo shouted.

But the dungeon was empty.

"What level of cultivation is he at? No, with such a high level of cultivation, how could he not know the secrets of the royal family?"

After coming out of the dungeon, Li Mu walked around the palace again and returned to Jingning Palace.

"It's getting more and more mysterious."

If Old Demon Han wasn't looking for the Taimiao, what on earth was he looking for when he entered the palace?

Snap~

Li Mu slapped himself on the forehead.

never mind!

I'll ask again another day.

Li Mu was not in a hurry even though he couldn't find the Taimiao.

Organize what I got from tonight’s check-in.

There are more and more fallen leaves in the two courtyards in front and behind Jingning Palace.

It's late autumn again.

A slight cool breeze blew.

The new concubines in the palace began to have bigger bellies.

Li Mu occasionally eavesdropped on the palace maids' conversations, all of which were about someone's lady being pregnant, possibly with a prince.

Or which palace's lady is being overbearing?

Or maybe the concubines in a certain palace are gentle and scheming.

The palace suddenly became lively because of the new concubine.

The palace maids and eunuchs no longer talked about things outside, and Li Mu became a blind man.

"I don't know what's going on in the martial arts world recently."

Since the palace maids and eunuchs have nothing to talk about, it means that the things in the martial arts world are not big deal.

Originally, Li Mu wanted to go out of the palace to capture a few people to inquire about the Taimiao or other matters.

Just think about it.

How could the minions outside know what even Han Lao Mo doesn’t know?

Winter is coming soon.

The cold wind is raging.

cold!

This winter is very cold.

The amount of charcoal obtained by Jingning Palace was very small.

Li Mu didn't need it, so he gave all the charcoal to the old palace maid.

Unexpectedly, that morning, Li Mu only felt the breathing of one person in the palace.

"Um?"

whoosh~

Li Mu rushed into the palace regardless of everything.

This was the first time Li Mu entered the palace where Concubine Jing was located after ten years in the palace.

As soon as you enter the palace, you will see a hall.

Across the hall was a bedroom, where the old palace maid lay curled up quietly.

He was wrapped in a quilt that had already been torn to pieces.

The bedroom is very wide and drafty.

After all, it's close to the lobby.

There was a thick curtain hanging behind the bedroom.

Behind the curtain is Concubine Jing's bedroom.

At this moment, Concubine Jing's breathing in the bedroom was also very weak.

"Little Leo, is that you?"

"It's me!"

Li Mu bowed.

Over the years, Concubine Jing has been nice to her servants.

Never criticized, beat or scolded him.

He was very polite in explaining things.

"Call Mimi for me. I called her many times this morning, but she didn't respond."

Mi Momo is the old palace maid.

"My Lady, Mimomo froze to death last night."

Li Mu told the truth.

Even Concubine Jing couldn't get out of bed because she was cold.

In the middle of winter, everyone wants to hide in bed.

“Ah~”

There was a cry from behind the curtain, and breathing suddenly became rapid.

"Little Leo, come and help me up. Let's send her off for the last time."

After a long time, the voice of Concubine Jing was heard from behind the curtain.

The voice was choked and hoarse.

Li Mu could hear Concubine Jing's heartbreak in the voice.

Li Mu pushed aside the curtain and walked in.

A fragrance wafts into my nose.

On the bed, Concubine Jing was sitting with her hair disheveled.

She was wrapped in pajamas.

Li Mu hurried over and supported him with his hand.

"Help me get dressed!"

Concubine Jing said lightly.

Li Mu looked around and found the clothes.

After a long struggle, Li Mu finally managed to put the clothes on Concubine Jing.

While putting on clothes, Li Mu touched Concubine Jing's body several times with his hands.

Soft and warm, with an indescribable flavor.

Li Mu was not moved.

Now there is no use in being moved.

After putting on his clothes, he helped Concubine Jing to the old palace maid's bed outside.

The old palace maid's body had already become stiff.

A cold wind blew, and Concubine Jing coughed twice.

"My husband is famous!"

Li Mu said.

Concubine Jing didn't speak for a long time.

When she looked up, she saw tears streaming down Concubine Jing's face.

Li Mu turned around and left the palace, then floated out of Jingning Palace and found the Firewood and Charcoal Department. He picked up a bag of charcoal and floated back.

There was no charcoal left in Jingning Palace.

"When people get old, they get afraid of the cold. Especially us women, our beds are always cold in winter."
