Chapter 215 The Old Emperor's Toilet
The little palace maid looked very ordinary, the kind that would be completely invisible if thrown into a crowd of people.
And her sudden appearance in this remote palace was obviously to make a connection.
The little palace maid looked outside the palace vigilantly and made sure there was no movement. Then he walked up to the squinty-eyed eunuch and spoke softly.
"What's the matter that makes you look for my master so anxiously?"
Mimiyan didn't waste any words and directly took out a bottle and handed it over.
"Just a drop of the stuff in here can kill a person."
"It's colorless and odorless, and even a silver needle can't detect it!"
"Since your master is now guarding the old emperor, you can use him!"
“Don’t miss this opportunity!”
The little palace maid frowned and spoke in a low voice.
"How dare you be so bold as to instigate our master to poison His Majesty!"
"Are you crazy?"
The little palace maid said this without taking the bottle. There was even more vigilance in his eyes.
He held the bottle with squinting eyes, not taking it back, and sneered.
"Since your master is cooperating with our master, whatever he did, no matter which one is exposed, it will be a capital crime of treason!"
"To be honest, it's not worse than murdering your Majesty!"
"Why be so reserved now!"
The words with narrowed eyes were full of sarcasm. It is obvious that he is fearless and not afraid that the other party will not agree.
The young palace maid frowned, knowing that they had something on her master. She is really in a difficult situation now.
Finally, she sighed and said.
"I know about this matter, I will tell our master!"
After the little palace maid finished speaking, she left without stopping.
As to whether she would give him drugs, she did not say clearly.
He narrowed his eyes and frowned, not knowing what he was thinking about, but suddenly he smiled. He walked in another direction.
Liu Shiqi paused for two seconds and quickly caught up with the little palace maid.
He wanted to see who this little palace maid belonged to.
Liu Shiqi is good at tracking people.
The little palace maid looked back several times vigilantly, but Liu Shiqi stepped forward every time.
She followed the little palace maid around for a long time and finally arrived in front of a very grand palace.
The plaque reads, "Martial Saint Hall!"
There were three layers of people inside and outside the entrance of this hall.
On the outside, a general and a group of soldiers were guarding. On the inside are palace maids and eunuchs.
If you want to get in, the screening is very strict.
Liu Shiqi could only watch the little palace maid walk over and then go through layer by layer of investigation.
Finally he pushed the door open and walked in.
Liu Shiqi raised his eyebrows.
[It seems that the person behind this should be inside this palace! 】
[I don’t know who lives in here, the guards are so strict! 】
Liu Shiqi hid in a secluded place and thought about it. Then he quickly walked around the palace and found that every door was heavily guarded.
There is no way to get in without alerting the enemy.
But in his previous life, he would have made full preparations, wasted a few days, and changed his appearance so that he could get in.
But now, she has limited time...
Liu Shiqi was helpless.
I just found a place and lay low.
I plan to wait until dark and see if there is any loophole I can exploit.
Or see if you can wait until the little palace maid comes out.
[I don't know how Brother Zhuang is doing. Has he found Li Yuer? 】
She waited for more than half an hour.
The little palace maid was no longer seen.
Instead, I saw many people coming in and out.
The clothes they wore were all very exquisite, and some of them wore very consistent clothes.
Liu Shiqi frowned.
[Are those people wearing official uniforms?] 】
What on earth is this place for? 】
[The guards are so tight, could it be that the seriously ill old emperor is here? 】
Or is there some secret in this? 】
Liu Shiqi began to think divergently, and after thinking for a while, he finally felt that the old emperor should be inside.
That's why there are so many guards.
Liu Shiqi was staring at the entrance of the hall without blinking, when he suddenly noticed a group of people walking towards the hall.
Leading the group was a beautiful lady in palace dress sitting on a shoulder pole. But it was already getting late and I couldn’t see the other person’s face clearly.
Behind her was a large group of people, including twenty or thirty palace maids and eunuchs.
The palace maids and eunuchs were holding various trays and items in their hands.
You can tell at first glance that this beauty in palace dress has a noble identity.
[Could this be one of the old emperor’s princesses?] 】
[Or a concubine?] 】
[Could this person be Li Yuer?] 】
Unfortunately, it was too dark and at a distance, so Liu Shiqi couldn't see clearly.
Liu Shiqi hid in the dark and observed carefully and quietly.
Soon, she spotted a familiar figure at the back of the team.
It is Zhuang Yan dressed as a young eunuch.
Although it's a bit far away, I can't see it clearly. But Liu Shiqi was certain that the other party must be it.
It's a very strong feeling.
Liu Shiqi paused and looked at the beautiful woman in palace dress in the front.
She was now certain that the person must be Li Yuer they were looking for. Otherwise, Zhuang Yan wouldn't have followed her and ran here.
Zhuang Yan looked up as if he sensed something and looked in the direction of Liu Shiqi.
But Liu Shiqi hid so well that he didn't see anything.
He quickly lowered his head again and stopped looking around.
However, just as the long guard of honor turned the corner, someone suddenly quickly followed to the back of the team and stood side by side with Zhuang Yan.
Zhuang Yan was stunned and looked up.
Just met Liu Shiqi's sparkling eyes.
"Brother Zhuang, I'm here!"
Zhuang Yan raised the corners of his mouth and breathed a sigh of relief.
I'm glad Shi Qi is okay!
He lowered his head and whispered.
"Are you okay?"
Liu Shiqi shook his head and quickly told the story of the little palace maid.
Zhuang Yan nodded, then motioned Liu Shiqi to look to the front.
He said, "Shi Qi, the person on the front shoulder is the one we are looking for."
Liu Shiqi glanced at the front.
"Well, I guessed it!"
"Otherwise, Brother Zhuang wouldn't have been able to follow this team."
"Did Brother Zhuang talk to her?"
"Does she know why we are here?"
Zhuang Yan frowned and shook his head, saying, "Not yet. I just arrived outside her palace, and she just happened to come out with someone."
"There are so many people around her! I don't have a chance to meet them."
"So we can only follow along and then act accordingly."
Liu Shiqi nodded.
[We can only play it by ear!] 】
[If possible, it would be best to handle it privately and take Li Yuer away quietly. But if it really doesn’t work! I'll send her directly into the space house! 】
[Perform a magic trick on them!] 】
[No, it should be playing instant disappearance! 】
Zhuang Yan thought so too!
Liu Shiqi asked in a low voice, "Brother Zhuang, do you know what the palace in front is used for?"
“Why are there so many people guarding it!”
"I've been squatting here for a while, and I noticed a lot of people coming in and out!"
“It feels like the clothes they are wearing are official uniforms!”
Zhuang Yan also took a look at the magnificent palace with his eyes slightly narrowed.
"That's the old emperor's bedroom!"
In another world, the old emperor lived here until he died.
He remembered that he later sealed the palace and did not allow anyone to approach.
Because it contains his bad memories.
He raised an eyebrow again and thought about it.
In that world, the old emperor fell into a coma due to the poison two years later!
Unexpectedly, this world actually moved ahead of time.
It seems that he has to take action too.
Perhaps, victory or defeat depends on this one move.
When Concubine Li's procession arrived, the guards at the palace gate saluted.
Concubine Li is graceful and elegant, with graceful manners.
She raised her hand gently, her voice soft and pleasant.
"Get up!"
Everyone stood up and stepped back.
Make way for Concubine Li.
Concubine Li walked down from the shoulder pole gracefully, and then, supported by Lichun, walked towards the palace gate.
The eunuchs quickly opened the palace door, and Concubine Li raised her leg expressionlessly and walked in.
The eunuchs and palace maids behind him were about to follow, but were stopped by the eunuchs at the door.
He said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has issued an order that Concubine Li and her personal maid may enter, and the rest of the people must wait outside the palace!"
Concubine Li paused and walked in without looking back.
The palace door closed.
The other palace maids and eunuchs brought by Concubine Li were waiting outside quietly, not moving.
The others also remained motionless and silent.
It was completely dark.
The moon was hanging in the sky, but half covered by clouds. The entire palace was flickering.
The people at the palace gate stood motionless and silent, like pale mannequins.
It makes the soles of one's feet feel cold for some reason.
Liu Shiqi watched quietly and felt that the scene at this moment was like a strange and huge tomb.
It quite suits the style of her space house.
Liu Shiqi gently pushed Zhuang Yan's arm and spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"Brother Zhuang, what should we do now!"
"We can't get in!"
Zhuang Yan raised his head slightly and observed the surroundings.
Liu Shiqi added, "I just checked the surroundings. The entrances and exits of this hall are all heavily guarded!"
"It's not easy to get in! It's easy to be discovered!"
Zhuang Yan's eyes rolled and he spoke in a low voice.
"Shi Qi, come with me!"
After he said that, he took Liu Shiqi's hand and quickly disappeared into the darkness while no one was paying attention to them.
They soon arrived at a nearby palace and found a study.
This palace should be uninhabited, but it is fully equipped with everything. There was a thin layer of dust on everything.
But it does not affect their use.
Zhuang Yan quickly found and spread out the paper. Liu Shiqi knew what he was going to do and hurried to grind ink for him.
Zhuang Yan thought about it, picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and drew on the paper.
The picture shows what the inside of a palace looks like.
There are places to bathe, places to go to the toilet, dormitories, places to store clothes, etc.
Zhuang Yan's paintings are very detailed.
From the placement of furniture to the individual patterns on it. Even the color of the curtains was painted.
Liu Shiqi looked at it in amazement.
[Brother Zhuang is so awesome!] 】
[With this skill, you can even paint Along the River During the Qingming Festival! 】
[Also, there is no problem with the proportions of the painting. It feels like it was measured with a ruler! 】
In less than an hour, Zhuang Yan had carefully painted four or five pictures. Then he took down the pen and said to Liu Shiqi.
"Shi Qi, give it a try! See if you can get in!"
Liu Shiqi nodded, and pulled Zhuang Yan into the space house first, and arrived in front of the black door.
After looking at the paintings again, he suddenly frowned and asked Zhuang Yan.
"Brother Zhuang, have you ever been to the old emperor's bedroom before?"
“How can you draw it so beautifully?”
[So detailed?] 】
[I had some doubts before, Brother Zhuang seemed to be particularly familiar with the palace! 】
[Could it be that Brother Zhuang has sneaked into the palace many times in the past two years? 】
[Have you even been into the old emperor’s bedroom? 】
[That’s not right!] 】
[I believe you can stroll around the palace, but looking at the old emperor's bedroom, there should be someone guarding it all the time. Is it really so easy to go in and out? Still many times! 】
Zhuang Yan was stunned, thought for a while and said.
"Shi Qi, I am indeed familiar with the Imperial Palace. As for why I am so familiar with it!"
"You can't tell me now!"
"But I'll tell you when these things are over!"
Tell you everything...
Liu Shiqi pursed his lips and nodded, no longer hesitating.
Who doesn’t have a secret yet? 】
[Compared to other people’s secrets, my secret is the most incredible! 】
[Who would have thought that I came from a book! I couldn’t believe it even when I woke up in my dreams at midnight! I thought I had a big dream! 】
A complex look flashed across Liu Shiqi's eyes.
[Oh, forget it, let’s not think about it for now, the business is more important! 】
[No matter what, we must rescue Li Yuer first today! 】
[We’ll talk about the rest later!] 】
Liu Shiqi took the pictures, then looked at them carefully one by one and did some experiments at the same time. Look at that and go in.
Finally she passed through the black door and came to a place exactly like the one in the picture.
Liu Shiqi raised his eyebrows as he looked at the toilet, the basin next to it, the storage rack, and the faint scent of incense.
[Alas, no matter how powerful you are or how great your abilities are, people still need to eat grains and poop! 】
[I am so lucky to be entering the palace's toilet for the first time! It’s still the old emperor’s toilet! 】
[Luckily it doesn’t stink here!] 】
[Otherwise I will definitely destroy this place! 】
Liu Shiqi looked at Zhuang Yan quietly again.
[But Brother Zhuang actually painted this place so carefully, could it be that he was here before...]
Zhuang Yan quickly lowered his head and coughed lightly.
Then quietly change the subject.
"Shi Qi, you are awesome! We have successfully entered now!"
"Li Yu'er and the old emperor should be next door!"
"Let's just watch here and act accordingly!"
Liu Shiqi nodded.
There was only a door between where they were and the next door.
They could also clearly hear voices talking next door.
Zhuang Yan gently opened a small hole in the door and looked inside quietly.
Liu Shiqi also opened a small hole and looked over.
It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, but you'll be shocked when you do.
Li Yuer was seen being held down by two palace maids, kneeling on the ground. Her pretty face was red and swollen, obviously she had been beaten.
But she looked indifferent, as if she was ready to die.
On the ground next to Li Yuer, there was a palace maid lying on her back with her eyes wide open. There was a long knife wound on her neck and blood was flowing all over the ground. It was obvious that someone had cut his throat with a knife.
"You still refuse to admit that you are the reason why the emperor is like this..."
