Chapter 37
There was a stalemate for a while.
"Forget about so much, have you received any reminders?"
"No, the dungeon's name is 'Human Face Is Going to Nowhere', does it remind us of anything?"
"Who knows?" Qiao Yiqi sneered, "Maybe it's a hint, maybe it's the ending? Let's go, since there are no clues in the study, let's go out and look for it."
Coming out of the palace, neither of them spoke.
This dungeon gave too few clues.
Before they knew it, the two walked into the garden of the palace.
"It's been a long time since I saw so many flowers. Since the end of the world, I've been busy running around every day, always thinking about the danger of my life." Qiao Yiqi felt a little emotional.
"It's okay, I'll accompany you to see other worlds when the dungeon is over," Huo Chen said.
"Okay. I'll wait for you."
Smile at each other.
There was a yelling sound in the distance.
The two turned their heads and looked at the place where the voice came from.
"Empress, the emperor hasn't come to the harem at all recently."
"Yes, yes, empress, you can tell the emperor that this is not coming to the harem, and the empress dowager is urging all the concubines to spread branches and leaves for the emperor."
"How can we women know about the emperor's affairs? You just need to do your own thing well and be ready to share the emperor's worries at all times." The queen said lightly.
The two hid behind a cluster of flowers, just enough to cover their bodies.
It's not easy to be found, and you can hear what they are talking about.
"Empress." A timid voice sounded.
The queen looked back, "Libi, what's the matter?"
"Empress, can I ask to live in another palace, I can hear it every night in this palace..."
Concubine Li hadn't finished speaking when she was scolded by the queen, "All the palaces are chosen by the emperor himself, do you have any objection to the emperor's decision?"
Concubine Li pursed her lips, and said unwillingly: "I already know."
The two hiding behind the flower clusters looked at each other, and when they fell asleep, someone gave them a pillow.
"If you have nothing else to do, go down first, I'm tired."
"promise."
Qiao Yiqi and Huo Chen followed behind that Concubine Li, not far or near.
Just could hear what they were saying.
"Your Majesty, what should we do? We can't really live in this evil palace." The little maid beside her said timidly.
"That's impossible," Li Pin gritted her teeth, "I can't let my son be suppressed by that yellow-faced empress, this throne must belong to my son."
"But...but..."
"How did she get the position of Empress? She knows better than anyone else in her heart. If you don't tire of cheating, I can do it too. As for the matter of changing palaces, after the emperor comes, I will blow some pillow wind, and the emperor will definitely agree."
"Then...wouldn't we still be here now?"
"We have to pass here now. I hope that woman won't find me. After all, it wasn't Bengong who killed her. You can find some chicken blood and try to calm down."
"promise."
The two had already entered the boundary of the harem, and going any further would not be in line with etiquette.
Qiao Yiqi and Huo Chen looked at each other, "It seems that there are clues in Concubine Li's palace."
"That's for sure. It's just that there is no convincing reason in this harem. I'm afraid it's easy to get in." Huo Chen rubbed his chin and said thoughtfully.
"The Queen's position is not right, and it probably has something to do with it. What should I do next?" Qiao Yiqi asked.
"Now we can go back to my palace and see if we can ask anything." Huo Chen said.
Seeing Qiao Yiqi's approving eyes, he knew he was doing the right thing.
"Then Brother Qi, do you want to give me a reward?" Huo Chen smirked.
"Go, go, go, it's sunny."
"Tsk, brother Qi is so stingy." Qiao Yiqi ignored him and walked straight back.
Huo Chen also followed behind him, and didn't provoke him out of self-indulgence.
Back in his palace, Huo Chen found some young eunuchs.
After being found by the sixth prince himself, the young eunuchs still seemed to be in awe.
"Does your father have any orders?"
"I want to ask you guys." Huo Chen thought for a while and originally wanted to talk about the queen, but later felt that it might not be possible to ask something, so he changed the way of asking, "Do you know what's new in Concubine Li's palace? ?”
"Prince Li?"
The little eunuchs looked at each other, and one of the little eunuchs bowed slightly, "I know."
"Oh?" He made a look of interest, "Let's hear it."
"Concubine Li has said many times that there are..." the little eunuch who spoke trembled, "There are... ghosts."
The little eunuch breathed a sigh of relief, "But the empress has brought people to check it many times, and there is nothing particularly abnormal, so this matter will be left alone."
"Other than that?" Huo Chen asked casually.
"Nothing."
"Then do you know how the former queen died?"
"..."
The little eunuch knelt on the ground with a "plop", "Grand...you can't say anything about this."
"Why can't you tell?"
"The emperor issued an order, this matter can't be said. If you say it, you will be beheaded."
"Oh?" Huo Chen picked up his tone slightly, "I've said it, and I'll wait for the emperor to chop your head off. If you don't say it, the Lord will chop your head off right now, understand? Now...Say it or not."
"Slave...slave...said." As if resigned to fate, the little eunuch took a deep breath, "Empress Yuan, Empress Yuan was deposed by the emperor because she was found out by the emperor to curse the emperor because of witchcraft. Later...the Ximing Palace was flooded, and Empress Yuan died in that fire..."
"What's not to say about that?"
"I heard... I heard... that it was because of the empress Yuan's fire incident. Some people speculated that it had something to do with... and... and the current queen... and it made Long Yan furious, so... That's why...the emperor ordered..."
"Okay, master knows, let's all go down."
"promise."
As if receiving a gift, the little eunuch scrambled away and left.
"Brother Qi, what do you think?"
Qiao Yiqi glanced at him, "Ask me? Tell me what you think first."
"I'm wondering if it's because the current empress murdered Empress Yuan, causing Empress Yuan to be full of resentment, so the ghost that Concubine Li saw is likely to be Empress Yuan."
"Not impossible, but unlikely."
"?"
"Did you forget? This is a seven-star dungeon." Qiao Yiqi said flatly, "The seven-star dungeon will be so easy for you to guess the truth? I think we still have to look for clues. It's too early to draw conclusions."
"I think we can go to Concubine Li's palace to look for clues tonight."
