Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Although she rarely came back since she was a child, she went to Beijing to practice cultivation, but Zhu Qigu was still very familiar with the palace. She first went to the Ancestral Temple to pay homage to the ancestors of the Zhu family.

    Because the fire destroyed the entire original Ancestral Temple, and all the temples were newly built, Zhu Qigu could not find any trace of the fire four years ago, so she could only jump over the palace wall and go straight into the harem.

    She was at the level of a great alchemist and was familiar with the roads. She quietly avoided all the guards and walked northward from the left door, bypassing the three main halls, passing through the back right door to the west, and then to the back left door to the north.  To the West Palace.

    Since Empress Dowager Xiaokang has never been seen alive or dead, she is still considered "missing", so her title of Empress Dowager has not changed, and the West Palace is still reserved for her.

    Zhu Qigu ducked into the bedroom. The bedroom was very clean, which showed that the eunuchs and maids had not slacked off because of the disappearance of the Queen Mother. This made Zhu Qigu very happy.  She gently sat on the edge of the bed, rubbed the edge of the bed with both hands, and used magic power from her fingertips, and a hidden grid popped up under the bedpost.

    There was nothing in the hidden compartment, and Zhu Qigu was very disappointed.  She knew the secret of the Queen Mother's cultivation. The secret compartment under the bedpost was difficult to find and open unless it was dismantled forcefully. Without specific techniques, it was difficult to find and open it.  Zhu Qigu thought for a moment and thought that the queen mother should have left on her own, which made her sigh in relief.

    I got up and got out of bed, and subconsciously wandered around in the dark dormitory, looking at everything my mother left behind: tables and chairs, bronze mirrors, powder boxes vaguely, it seemed that my mother's aura still lingered.

    Stopping in front of the bronze mirror, I looked at myself in the mirror. Although I was over fifty years old, my appearance had not changed at all. I seemed to see the appearance of my mother. Apart from the difference in appearance, the demeanor and demeanor were very similar.

    Looking at the more than ten calligraphy and paintings on the wall, many of them were written and painted by my mother, who was from Zhejiang. Most of the paintings were of Jiangnan scenery, such as the stone bridges of Lanke Mountain, the strange rocks of Fugai Mountain, and the flying clouds.  The Jiangnan town in the twenty-eight capitals When I stopped there, my eyes couldn't help but moisten.

    After lingering for a long time, Zhu Qigu came to the outer room of the bedroom, where a palace maid slept on the bed, just like before.

    Zhu Qigu walked over, stood beside the bed, and called softly: "Lianqiao."

    The palace maid Lian Qiao opened her sleepy eyes, was startled by saying "ah", and shrank back to the wall.

    Zhu Qigu lit the fire, and under the faint light, Lian Qiao said happily: "Eldest Princess!"

    Zhu Qigu said "shush", put out the fire, and asked her to get up and speak quietly.

    "Where are Lai Yi and Wan Ping?"

    "They were executed by the emperor. They were on duty the night the Queen Mother disappeared. They were interrogated by the palace for half a year. They didn't know anything. The emperor was very angry, so he put them ugh"

    Zhu Qigu sighed for a moment, comforted Lianqiao, told her not to cry, and said, "Tell me what happened that day again."

    Lian Qiao then recounted all the details of how she stayed with the Queen Mother during the day and returned to her room at night.  She also went through several months of interrogation back then. She said these words countless times, and was finally punished by the palace to guard the dormitory. Several years later, she still has not forgotten it.

    Zhu Qigu asked: "So, the queen mother left before dawn?"

    Lian Qiao nodded: "Yes, Lai Yi and Wan Ping both said so, and the Queen Mother left quietly."

    Zhu Qigu emphasized: "Before the fire in the Imperial Ancestral Temple?"

    Lianqiao replied: "Yes." Then she quickly said, "Princess, Lai Yi and Wan Ping are innocent"

    Zhu Qigu said coldly: "They failed to keep an eye on their mother, and they deserved to be executed. King Yu did the right thing."

    Lian Qiao shed tears and nodded: "Yes, I shouldn't say such things."

    After a moment of silence, Zhu Qigu asked again: "Prince Yu came to say hello to the Queen Mother, and where did he go after that?"

    "I don't know, this slave."

    "Who else is accompanying King Yu?"

    "There is Admiral Feng, um, and Chen Zhangyin."

    "Feng Bao? Chen Hong?"

    "yes."

    Zhu Qigu knocked Lian Qiao down with one finger, and Lian Qiao fell into unconsciousness.

    Leaving the West Palace, Zhu Qigu came to Xingqing Palace, where another empress dowager lived - the original Princess Xing.

    He entered the dormitory quietly, walked to the curtain, and looked at the old woman sleeping on the bed quietly. She had an old face and silver hair. From the sound of her breathing, she could be judged that she was a completely ordinary old man who didn't know how to practice.

    Zhu Qigu stretched out a finger and wanted to point at the old woman, but she took it back halfway, sighed, and turned to leave.

    When they arrived at the inner courtyard, they identified the largest courtyards and searched them one by one. Zhu Qigu found Chen Hong who was sleeping soundly

    Chen Hong also received Zhao Ran¡¯s visualization method, and after visualizing the sea of ??qi, he also entered the practice.  However, his cultivation progress is very slow, he has done a lot of good deeds, but the merit and mana he has refined are very little, and he is still trapped in the Taoist realm.  There is nothing that can be done about it. Who said that his essence is much less than that of ordinary people?

    In front of Zhu Qigu, Chen Hong was no different from an ordinary mortal, and he was grabbed directly.  Of course, even if Zhu Qigu didn't use her magic power, he wouldn't dare to struggle. One was a noble man from Tianhuang, and the other was a servant. Whatever Zhu Qigu wanted to ask, he could only answer honestly.

    "The night before the fire in the Imperial Ancestral Temple, you accompanied Prince Yu to see the Queen Mother?"

    "Back to the eldest princess, Feng Da and I will accompany the emperor to the West Palace."

    "What did you say?"

    Chen Hong then honestly explained the conversation between the Emperor and the Queen Mother that night. Zhu Qigu frowned and said, "That's all?"

    "It's absolutely true!"

    "My mother, you never see anyone else?"

    "Indeed, not really. If we go forward, Nishinomiya will sleep on the back."

    After hesitating for a moment, Zhu Qigu asked: "The Queen gave me wine, Zhao Zhiran did he come over to express his gratitude?"

    Chen Hong said: "It was too late at that time. It was Admiral Feng who accompanied the emperor to deliver the wine, and Wei Chen did not go with him. However, Wei Chen can guarantee that the disappearance of the Queen Mother has nothing to do with Abbot Zhao. In order to avoid suspicion, Abbot Zhao even  If you live in the veranda outside the Meridian Gate, even if you want to express your gratitude, your plan will definitely be after dawn, and you will definitely not enter the palace late at night."

    Zhu Qigu smiled and said: "I didn't say that I had anything to do with Zhao Zhiran. What are you trying to excuse?"

    Chen Hong kowtowed and said, "Abbot Zhao is a kind man and would never do such a thing. Furthermore, we all suspect that the Queen Mother's disappearance may be related to Heavenly Master Shao."

    Zhu Qigu looked at Chen Hong and asked coldly: "What do you know?"

    Chen Hong replied: "I don't know much, but many people saw that Celestial Master Shao Da and Abbot Zhao were fighting in the sky. Later there were rumors that Celestial Master Shao Da and Lou Guan were fighting in the Ancestral Temple.  Then there is the move of Patriarch Longyang leading all the true masters into the Ancestral Temple. Princess, do you think, if this is not the case, why did Patriarch Longyang issue an edict in public when he ascended to the throne, leaving the cave in the cave of the Maharaja to the tower?"
