"yes!"

After watching Chunxiang leave, she took out a gleaming golden key from her sleeve. Although the light was dim and dim, she could still clearly see the word "Jiang's" engraved on it.

"No wonder I haven't been able to find the golden lock after searching for so many years. It turned out to be in Xiahou Mansion!"

Concubine Jiang rubbed the golden lock in her hand and fell into deep thought...

"I really wonder what secret was hidden in the golden key in Concubine Jiang's hand at that time?"

Yao Xianxiu's fingertips tapped secretly on the table, and the look on her face could not help but become solemn.

"For Concubine Jiang to be able to sit in her current position, she must have had too many secrets that are difficult to describe, but no one can easily master these secrets! If I knew one or two things, wouldn't it be easy to stand up and make the decision?

A lot?"

Thinking of this, she suddenly became energetic.

"Could it be that Xia Ruyan, who is as cunning as a snake, is appreciated by Concubine Jiang because she has mastered some of her secrets? How could she be able to sit firmly on the throne of the Crown Princess?"

"This is really a difficult problem! What should we do?"

She secretly thought about every weakness around Concubine Jiang that was most likely to be overcome.

"Hey... there is it!"

Suddenly, her eyes lit up: "Chunxiang! Yes! Just Chunxiang!"

She stood up excitedly.

After everyone had dispersed, the general followed the two old ladies into the delivery room, where he was going to collect her body.

"General... Do you want to wait? Wait until the emperor comes to see the empress for the last time!"

"Hey...forget it! Everyone is gone. There are three thousand beauties in the harem. The emperor will be here long ago! It's already past midnight, so let's collect the body of the noble concubine first!"

The two old maids took out a pile of shrouds from the basket and spread them out in front of the table in an upright manner according to etiquette.

Against the scattered lights, the weak candlelight danced more and more. The figure of the old palace maid was illuminated by the weak candlelight into Jiang Guifei's eyes. She looked as weird and strange as two old hags seduced by hell.

uncertain.

"It is said that generals fight fiercely on the battlefield, and their masculinity is extraordinary. It is said that generals are like the Tiangang star in the sky and turn around to come down to earth. That's why the Holy Spirit specially approved the loyal and mighty General Jin to come and collect the body of Concubine Jiang Guifei who died in childbirth.

Got it!"

"That's right! If the Holy One is the monarch of the country, how can he be contaminated by the filthy aura of a woman who is having a difficult childbirth? I heard that the Holy One being close to such a filthy deceased woman may reduce the country's destiny and harm the people!"

"Hey... stop talking! Although Jiang Jieyu has already gone, we are talking about it here. If General Jin hears it later, he will probably be punished!"

"……………………"

Two old maids were wandering around under the dim lights, chatting in low voices while arranging their shrouds.

"There is no way! In a man's world, a woman's life is as cheap as a rag..."

"Hey... I heard that the steward has ordered the old eunuch to prepare the wood stove, right?"

"That's right! The Emperor has ordered that you should be burned as soon as you die!"

"Well! That's fine. You and I have been in the palace for a long time, and we have collected the corpses of many concubines. We all know that the deceased women who died in childbirth often have deep grievances. If we don't deal with it quickly, it will make people uneasy.

Got it!"

"That's right!"

The two old maids were cutting cloth and chatting while preparing the things for use one by one!

"Huh? That's right! Has the basin for wiping yourself with water not been brought yet? You can go to the steward and let him know!"

An old maid suddenly remembered that before she could put a shroud on the deceased, she must first clean her body.

"Oh! Yes! Why don't you keep watch and I'll go back quickly! What do you think?"

Another old lady said: "That's good! But I still have the concubine's belongings, and I need to go and hand them over to the nun in charge!"

"Uh... How about we go together?"

"Okay, okay! Hurry up and report to the general!"

The two old ladies stood up and explained the reason to General Jin outside the palace, and then left quickly...

Xia Lingyue was secretly thinking about something at this time.

"Concubine Jiang Guifei must have known some rumors, right? But if she really knew something about the situation, why did she support Xia Ruyan so carefully?..."

Thinking of this, she sighed deeply again.

"Hey...it seems like this is a really difficult trick!"

"………………"

Suddenly, the whispering voice came again in her mind: "Do you really want to know the whereabouts of the golden gourd?"

"Of course! I have tried so hard to find that golden gourd..."

"Okay! If you go to the secret tunnel dug by King Lin in five days to search, you will achieve what you want!"

Thinking of this sound, her heart began to beat a little drum.

"Where is this secret passage? Will this dream work? Hey..."

The three of them were drinking together in the outer room.

"Two royal brothers! Since you have just arrived not long ago, why are you in such a hurry to return to the palace so soon?"

The table in front of me was filled with wine and food. Although it was not particularly rich, it had the atmosphere of a homely life in a farmyard.

"We have been disturbing the house for a long time, so it's time to say goodbye."

King Ying looked at King Lin and answered first.

"Since you are here, sister, there is no need to be polite! Although my mother-in-law is no longer here, I still welcome you!"

Xia Lingyue raised the wine bottle in her hand as she spoke: "Come! Let's have a drink for our first meeting!"

King Lin on the side didn't know whether he was shy or shy, but his expression looked a bit embarrassed.

"Brother Erhuang, I'm not telling you this, you really mean it!" After she finished her first glass of wine, a touch of pink tips already flew onto her cheeks.

"Hey! Forget it! Let's not talk about that! We must have a good chat about family matters, and we won't go home until we're drunk!" As she said that, she held up the wine bottle and drank it.

"Brother, how have you been these past few years? I heard that the purpose of your coming here this time is to find us a royal wife? Hahahaha..."

Perhaps because of the two glasses of wine, she slowly began to talk more.

"oh………………"

Xia Lingyue saw that he looked wrong, so she pretended not to know.

Although she pretended not to know, her eyes secretly glanced at the place he had just looked at.

"Hey... Master! I feel the wind is quite strong. It makes my forehead hurt!"

Xia Lingyue reached out to close the window as she spoke. King Lin's expression became serious.

"Hey...but..."

He opened his mouth but stopped talking.

"Oops! I just feel like I have a headache. It seems I really can't breathe."

She closed the window without any explanation. The moment she closed it, she cast a cold and sharp look at the figure on the big banyan tree.

"Master! Let's go back to the back room!"

She held King Lin's arm and pulled him towards the inner room without any explanation.

"Master! Let's go! I will do it for you..."

Her face was shy, and her voice suddenly became much more charming.

"But………………"

King Lin stayed in front of the window and stretched out his hand in the direction of the window.

"Oops! He's gone!"

She grabbed King Lin's outstretched hand and dragged him straight into the back room.
