The people who searched, just like they did in other palaces, searched carefully and were unwilling to miss any place, but after the search, the results were consistent.
Not finding any suspicious metal objects, the eunuch looked at the messenger helplessly: "This is the Queen's Kunning Palace. We've searched here and there are no clues. Should we continue to other palaces?"
The envoy frowned and looked at the eunuch: "You don't need to be reminded. Every room in the palace must be searched tonight! If you are tired, go on your own! I won't stop you!"
He snorted and walked away. His expression looked extremely unhappy, even a little annoyed.
After searching every room in the palace, they gradually arrived at the cold palace.
The eunuch still stood by patiently while the envoy ordered a search and the people spread out.
After searching for a while, the father-in-law thought that he would find nothing as before, but the people searching the yard suddenly shouted: "We found something, we found something, come quickly!"
After hearing this, the envoy hurried off. When he arrived, he saw a soldier pointing at a large tree. "The soil here is obviously newly turned over. You're trying to cover it all with weeds. How clumsy!"
The eunuch looked at her in surprise. "This is the cold palace. No one is in charge here. If there is anything unusual, it's nothing to be surprised about. After all, this is not under the emperor's nose!"
The envoy was too lazy to listen to the eunuch's nonsense and ordered the guards beside him: "Throw away all the weeds and see if there is anything strange underneath!"
The guards stepped forward and cleared away all the weeds, revealing a wooden plank on the ground, covered in weeds...
"Open them all!"
The envoy's words were full of excitement, and the eunuch began to feel uneasy.
He watched as everyone removed the wooden planks, and sure enough, there was a hidden world underground, a tunnel.
The envoy took the lantern and walked down, and the eunuch quickly followed. In the tunnel, it felt dark and damp everywhere. At a glance, it was pitch black and he had no idea how far away it was.
The more unfathomable it is, the more surprising it makes people feel, and they feel that there may be something unexpected inside.
Until he walked to a place that looked like a warehouse, opened the wooden box, and saw clearly what was inside.
It was golden and seemed to have a halo. The moment it was opened, my eyes were brightened. When I saw clearly what it was, I was all surprised.
That's... gold!
Golden gold!
A crudely crafted golden Buddha statue!
The eunuch following behind the envoy's face changed: "How could this be..."
Seeing the other party's expression change, the envoy said coldly: "Eunuch, please go and inform the emperor that a suspicious golden Buddha statue has been found here.
When the emperor heard the report, he was very surprised. The real Buddha statue had been moved away long ago, so how could it appear in the palace?
"It doesn't matter. I'll go over and expose this forger!"
The golden Buddha statues were carried out of the tunnel one by one. After the envoys discovered these golden Buddha statues, they felt very angry and were still thinking about how to settle the score with the emperor, but the emperor had already arrived with the palace servants.
He refused to bow when he saw the emperor, and only asked sarcastically, "Your Majesty, how do you explain this?"
The emperor looked very calm, even with a humble smile, and replied, "Please be patient. I don't know who is playing this prank. I came to take a look!"
Seeing that the emperor was very calm, the envoy, who was about to get angry, had to restrain himself and wait and see how the emperor would prove his innocence to him.
The emperor stepped forward, glanced at the statues, and then spoke: "I see that these golden statues are crudely made, obviously hastily made. If you say that my people did it, I can't deny it."
"But why did I put these things in the cold palace? I am the emperor, and I can dig tunnels anywhere. Why did I choose the cold palace?"
The emperor looked depressed, as if he looked down on the intelligence of the person who framed him.
The envoy spoke up and retorted, "Your Majesty, the soil in this tunnel is clearly newly dug, as if it was done in the past few days, which also happened to be the days I was searching."
The emperor's expression remained indifferent, but his eyes gradually grew colder. "My lord, how could you deliberately think so badly of me? I am the emperor of Xianchang. Why would you move things to the cold palace instead of outside the palace?"
"It's obvious that someone is deliberately framing me. The Imperial Palace is so large, and the cold palace is so deserted. Even if someone did something wrong, I wouldn't know!"
The emperor cried out in injustice, looking somewhat angry, but the envoy did not believe him and said coldly, "Your Majesty, why not send someone down to investigate and see where this tunnel leads to!"
The emperor frowned, but still sent someone down to check.
The envoy and the emperor sat aside and waited silently. When someone came out, they reported: "Your Majesty, this tunnel is a bit long..."
The emperor frowned and said, "No matter how long it is, we must go all the way to the end!"
The guard said in embarrassment: "We have reached the end! But it's a little hard to say where it will lead to..."
The emperor's frown deepened. "Are you hesitating in front of me?"
The emperor's expression was clearly displeased, and the guard lowered his head in embarrassment: "It leads to the Queen's Kunning Palace!"
The envoy snorted upon hearing this. "Your Majesty, even though I'm not an ordinary person, I still know where Kunning Palace is! Kunning Palace is not only where the Empress lives, but also the bedroom between you, Your Majesty, and the Empress!"
"Isn't this palace considered a permanent residence for the Emperor? And is the Emperor still denying it?"
