A Promotion Guide in the Harem - C223
Xiao Shunzi walked over and said: “The Little Princess has just been born and her body is weak. The road to the west is not so peaceful that it often causes ghosts. “You guys don’t know, these newborns love to mess with them.”
Leng Qiyue said in a low voice: “This servant knows.”
“Mm, go ahead.” Only then did Xiao Shunzi let him go.
Only after Leng Qiyue walked a long distance away did she heave a sigh of relief. This Xiao Shunzi really wanted to scare people to death. It was a coincidence, though, that the road to the east was not far from the icehouse.
Their journey from going out to the ice cellar was smooth sailing. When they met with people asking questions, Leng Qiyue would bring up what she had said, and they would not ask anymore.
There was a very big space inside the wooden door of the ice cellar. Further inside was a huge stone door, and inside the door was where the ice was hidden.
Bai Lan was already waiting there, seeing her come over, he took the little princess and said: “Niu Jun is very obedient, right? Did you say anything along the way that you shouldn’t have? ”
Before Leng Qiyue could say anything, Niu Jun said, “I didn’t say anything. Does Uncle not know that escaping is not something you can talk about?”
Bai Lan was a little embarrassed by his words, he laughed: “Are we hiding here?”
Bai Lan shook his head: “No, we need to hide in the ice cellar, that is the safest place.”
Bai Lan propped up the stone door and lightly put it down after he walked in. There were a lot of blocks of ice a meter square in the icehouse, and they were very cold. Bai Lan was completely prepared. There were two layers of animal skins on the ground, and they were all sitting on top of it with the blanket wrapped around them. Bai Lan found a large charcoal stove from somewhere and lit it with a fire piston, saying, “It won’t be long, we’ll be able to go out when it’s deep into the night.”
Leng Qiyue hugged the Little Princess and said, “The child doesn’t have a name yet.”
Bai Lan thought for a while and said: “How about we call it Qing Yang? We will be in the clear sky and the sun will shine brightly when we go out.”
Leng Qiyue chuckled: “Alright, I’ll be called Qing Yang.”
Bai Lan patted his shoulder and said: “Come, lean on me to sleep for a while.”
Leng Qiyue did not reject and went over to take a nap.
The temperature in the ice cellar wasn’t very cold. It was around -2 or 3 degrees Celsius, but the blanket didn’t feel that cold anymore.
Niu Jun was a child, so he couldn’t sit still. Not long after, he put on his blanket and ran around. Since there was only one door in the ice room, Bai Lan was not afraid of losing it.
“Eh? Uncle, Mother, quickly come and see, why is the ice yellow? ” “No!” Nihility shouted from the deepest part of the icehouse.
Leng Qiyue woke up from her stupor and stood up with her blanket draped over his shoulders. They then walked inside. There wasn’t much ice, just a few scattered pieces.
Leng Qiyue asked: “Have you used up all the ice here?”
Bai Lan shook his head: “No, this ice can be stored here for three years at a time. I presume this place has been left here since winter.”
“Oh, it’s very warm all the time. Where did the ice come from?” Leng Qiyue was more curious about this.
Bai Lan said: “There’s always a place like this, which is carried here by carriage. Actually, there’s always ice every month, but you guys just don’t know about it.”
“Come quickly, this ice is really fun.” Niu Jun shouted impatiently.
Leng Qiyue and Bai Lan walked over and saw Nian Jun squatting at the corner and using his dagger to dig at the wall. A piece of the wall had already been dug out by him, and the yellow mud inside was revealed. Yellow mud? The ice cellar should be made of stone. How could there be yellow mud?
Bai Lan strode over, squatted down and touched his forehead: “Yue’er, it’s gold.”
Leng Qiyue was startled, and also crouched down. That place was indeed gold, the areas that were dug out by the Lin Jun had wood shavings, and that was where the gold bricks were stored inside the wooden boxes and then hidden inside the walls. Could this be the Emperor’s treasure?
After some more digging, a palm-sized golden brick was dug up.
Leng Qiyue thought of the few words that had been written in the poem, “Jade beauty with a faint smile, two lines of clear tears falling down her face. It was the word ice. Tears were water. Two lines were two points of ice.
It had been ten thousand years since he had hoped for a goddess in the Imperial Mansion. This was a room. Wasn’t it a room when An Nai added the word “female”? Ten thousand years meant that the goddess was no longer here.
A man like a speck of dust is gone, a man standing on the wall looking forward to the return of the monarch. This is just a wall word, because there is a wall word in the poem that we ignore.
After toiling hard to cultivate the field during the cold summer, only a corpse and soul were left. The words on the wall were hard, so it was a crossword puzzle.
The door was tightly shut, and a small crack appeared in the door. The door was tightly shut. Without an entrance, it was just a word. A needle stabbed in? We are all so stupid, and we all thought wrong. ”
Bai Lan said in realization, “I remember that the previous emperor ordered the previous empress to sleep in the ice cellar the day before yesterday, and the former empress also stole the ice from the ice cellar because she couldn’t stand the heat. Could it be that this is the place where they decided to love each other?”
Leng Qiyue rolled her eyes and said: “Seriously, we created an ambiguous charade, causing us to go around in such a big circle.”
Bai Lan nodded: “What should we do?”
Leng Qiyue snorted: “What do we do? We can’t move the gold anyway, so we should hide it and come back when we have the chance. Since Dongfang Haotian owes me silver, can’t I just collect some interest? ”
Bai Lan laughed depressingly: “That little bit of silver is not even enough to cover the interest on the gold here, you are truly a cunning merchant!”
Leng Qiyue glared at him, and said: “Why don’t you move the ice over to block it?”
Bai Lan went outside to move some ice cubes to block the hole. As long as the ice cubes were not taken away, no one would think that there was gold hidden in the walls of the ice cellar.
After doing all of this, Leng Qiyue noticed that Niu Jun had cut the gold bricks into pieces, and asked: “What are you doing?”
“If you cut it into pieces and exchange it for silver, no one will suspect you of stealing the gold from the palace!”
Leng Qiyue was shocked, she turned her head and asked Bai Lan: “Who taught him this?”
Bai Lan said innocently: “It’s not me, this kid can’t read, so you should be able to read by yourself.”
When my elder sister wasn’t playing with me, I would read books and learn a lot of things. This dagger was written from books. In the end, when I went to the treasury and searched for it, I really did find it. ”
Leng Qiyue sighed and said, “I gave birth to a genius son, my daughter doesn’t know how intelligent she is? I haven’t heard her cry since I was born. ”
Qing Yang was already awake, she was truly not like her little kid who cried when she woke up. She was only staring at the gold in Nian Jun’s hands, why did Leng Qiyue feel that there was greed in her eyes? Could it be that she had given birth to two freaks?
Bai Lan leaned his ear to the side and listened for a while before saying: “It’s already the fourth fragment, let’s go out.”
The four of them walked out of the icehouse and through the dog hole in the wall. They did not dare to climb over the wall because the moon would expose their target. Right after they left the palace, they saw Mu Zixin waiting outside with three horses. How did she come?
Before the group could get on their horses to leave, the gates of the imperial palace was opened. Many soldiers holding torches rushed out.
