"Your Majesty, the empress is here." The voice of the delicate woman just now came from outside the door.

The emperor was surprised for a moment, and stood up from his seat. His expression was a little flustered, and he lowered his voice, "The queen doesn't know my identity yet, so don't talk too much."

Yuan Shuangqing didn't say anything, but felt a cold wind suddenly blowing behind her. She turned around and looked, but someone had already opened the curtain and came in. She has a slender figure, bright and clear eyes, and everything in the world seems to be contained inside.It's just that this face is extremely noble, but the aura around her is as cold and hard as the snow on the iceberg, without any sense of tenderness.

The emperor coughed and said warmly, "It's freezing cold, why is the queen here?"

The queen laughed softly: "If you are willing to eat on time, I don't need to come."

She moved away so that the maid behind her could present the basket of vegetables.

Maybe he felt ashamed to be blamed in public, the emperor glanced at Yuan Shuangqing and the others, blushed unconsciously, and completely lost the power just now: "What the queen said is that I am busy with important matters, and I don't feel hungry, but now I hear With the aroma of vegetables, my stomach feels a little bit."

As he said that, Zhu Xi smiled at the queen, quite flattering.

Dongyin probably didn't expect Zhu Xi to have someone to be afraid of, so he immediately forgot where he was and burst out laughing.

Only then did the queen notice them, the pearl hairpin swayed, and she looked over slowly.As soon as Yuan Shuangqing met her deep gaze, she could feel the temptation and other emotions in it, and immediately lowered her head.

Zhu Xi sat down and waited for the maid to take the food out of the basket. Feeling that something was wrong off the court, she glanced at Yuan Shuangqing, and then asked the queen softly, "Ruzhen, have you eaten yet?"

"Eat." The queen said lightly.

"Do you want to eat more?"

"No need."

The emperor was very embarrassed, because the empress became more and more indifferent. Usually, when the empress is so indifferent, it is because she is angry, but today, apart from not eating on time, there seems to be no other place to provoke the empress.

The emperor couldn't understand it, so he temporarily put it aside, and instead invited Yuan Shuangqing: "You haven't eaten yet, have you? Would you like to come over and eat some?"

The goddess Xiaogong who served the dishes froze, her eyes quickly passed Yuan Shuangqing and the queen, and she whispered, "Your Majesty, this is the empress..."

"The emperor takes it slow," the queen interrupted her unhurriedly: "The concubine is stepping down first."

"Ruzhen..." Zhu Xi held the chopsticks and called out in surprise.

The queen was blessed, and before leaving, she glanced at the little maid. The little maid pursed her mouth, and finally said nothing. When she walked past Yuan Shuangqing, she deliberately bumped her arm, and after slashing her glance, she snarled. gone.

The atmosphere in the tent was momentarily awkward.

The emperor sighed and asked someone to prepare another two pairs of chopsticks, and the three of them sat around the table.

The emperor lowered his head and took the first bite of the dish. He frowned immediately after taking a bite. The dish looked delicate and delicious, but it was so salty that it was hard to swallow. So barely swallowed.

Yuan Shuangqing and Yuan Shuangqing then raised their chopsticks and encountered the same situation.

The three of them looked at each other in blank dismay, silently.

The emperor lost face and wanted to lose his temper. After finally restraining his temper, he shouted outside the tent, "Thirteen!"

The handsome girl in black rushed in immediately, staring at Yuan Shuangqing and the two of them cautiously, for fear that they were going to do something wrong.However, Yuan Shuangqing and Dongyin were sitting in their seats, looking at her in unison.

The emperor rubbed his brows and said, "Go and ask which cook made today's meal, did you pour salt with your eyes closed when cooking, do you think the salt doesn't cost money?"

The obedient Thirteen seldom did not act immediately, but first glanced at the emperor in a very embarrassed way, then lowered his head, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, it is... the empress cooks herself."

His Majesty's movements froze, and his anger was swept away. Remembering that she seemed to have cursed a few ugly words just now, it was too late to take them back. The fire burned, and he pretended to cough.

Shisan knew the emperor very well, and immediately said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the empress has gone far."

The emperor waved his hand: "...you go down first."

The meal was too much to eat, so the emperor put down the chopsticks and said, "I'll have someone make it again later and send it to your tent."

Dong Yin smiled and said: "You are so afraid of the queen, it seems that the folk rumors that you like to hang out in the flower street and willow alley are all fake?"

"No, it's true," Zhu Xi said, "I'm really afraid of the Queen. At first, I was afraid of getting close to her and letting her know my real identity. Later, my fear became a habit, an emotion from the bottom of my heart. After we married the empress that year, we never slept with her, so in order not to make her suspicious, I had to pretend to be drunk in the depths of the flower kiln, pretending that I was a man who only liked to eat wild flowers."

Yuan Shuangqing felt a little sympathetic: "Your Majesty must have worked very hard to hide."

Zhu Xi shook his head: "The queen doesn't know, she is more painful than me."

Her eyes were staring elsewhere, and her black eyes were full of blankness: "I really want to tell her the truth, but I'm afraid she won't be able to accept it. The queen is a stickler in her bones, otherwise she wouldn't guard a bastard like me. I have never left her. If she finds out that her husband is actually a woman, I am afraid that she will..."

This matter is indeed a bit tricky. Any girl's family probably cannot accept that her husband is actually a woman, especially a monarch.

Yuan Shuangqing thought for a while and said, "If you can't tell her yourself, it's better to let her find out by herself."

Dong Yin thought deeply: "This is a good idea."

The emperor was a little moved, sat up straight, stroked the silver armor on his arm eagerly, and asked in a low voice: "Then how can I let her discover it by herself?"

"It's up to the emperor to think about it himself." Yuan Shuangqing smiled and said, "It's not difficult to create an accident."

The emperor felt that it was feasible, but how to implement it was still open to discussion. She sent Yuan Shuangqing to Shisan, while she sat in front of a pile of cold dishes and fell into deep thinking.

Thirteen brought people to a tent, blessed Fushen and said, "The two girls will stay here for the time being, and they will leave for the underground palace tomorrow morning. In the evening, I will introduce some Fengshui masters to Miss Yuan."

After Shisan left, Dongyin helped Yuan Shuangqing into the tent, where the infrastructure was complete and the blankets were warm. Yuan Shuangqing's wound hadn't healed yet, so Dongyin didn't dare to be careless and wrapped her in a quilt.

Looking at Dongyin's haggard face, Yuan Shuangqing felt a little distressed, and said softly: "Dongyin, don't be so busy, you can't sleep well in the wild, and finally got into bed, you should go to sleep first, and the food will be delivered later. You eat a little."

"What about you, young master?"

"I'll go to Zhuge and discuss with him about going to the underground palace."

Yuan Shuangqing lifted the quilt and went out, Zhuge Kao's tent was actually next door, the three of them came together, so naturally they lived not far away.

When Yuan Shuangqing entered, his hands were still tied together, and he was already lying on the bed sound asleep without any image. When Yuan Shuangqing untied him, he didn't wake him up, so he had to put aside the idea of ​​notifying him first, and acted lightly. gone.

As soon as Yuan Shuangqing walked away, Zhuge Kao woke up on his back. He opened his eyes, rolled them around, covered his body with the quilt, turned over and continued to sleep.

The three of them had a solid rest for an afternoon. The days are short and the nights are long here, so they finished their dinner very early. When it was getting dark, Shisan came to take Yuan Shuangqing and Zhuge to meet the Fengshui master, while Dongyin was left behind. in the tent.

Among the two Fengshui masters, one is a young man who is about the same age as Zhuge Kao, named Han Fei, and the other is Han Fei's master. It doesn't look very big, about thirty or two, and he didn't give his real name. , just saying that others respect him as Mutong Sanren, and let them follow suit.

The so-called master of Fengshui, with the name of a master, is actually just a tomb robber. Everyone knows that Zhuge Kao is flattering on the surface, but in his heart he is very contemptuous of Mu Tongsanren's kind of extraterrestrial master. Who doesn't know What do tomb robbers do? Digging people's ancestral graves has been cast aside since ancient times.

Zhuge Kao's face was almost frozen with laughter, as soon as he walked out of the tent, he immediately said: "What Mutong Sanren, I think he is a Mutong Sanren."

"Don't talk nonsense, be careful to be overheard by others."

Zhuge Kao tightened his coat and said with a sigh: "The wind here at night is full of ghosts and wolves, except you and me, who else can hear me?"

"No matter what, we will have to rely on these two people to guide us when we enter the underground palace tomorrow."

Yuan Shuangqing looked around, except for this valley, the rest of the place was pitch black, and the silent and dark mountain peaks in the distance were like dormant flood beasts. Yuan Shuangqing raised her head, and a piece of cold snowflakes fell into her eyes.She found that there was not even a single star in the sky here.

Shisan introduced this place just now. She said that this is Wushao Ridge, which is frozen and covered with snow all the year round, making it unsuitable for human habitation, but it is the most favorite burial place for the royal family and capable people, because few people dare to come up here.If General Ao Zhan hadn't been leading troops near here all the year round, he wouldn't have known that there would be a unique valley above.

And the underground palace they want to enter is the largest underground tomb here. It is the mausoleum of Emperor Wei Xiaodi, the supreme ruler of the north, more than 1000 years ago, when the world was not yet unified.

In history, Emperor Wei Xiao was quite talented in governing the country, but he also regarded wealth as his destiny, so when he was buried, he brought in countless treasures.In order to protect his mausoleum from being destroyed by outsiders after his death, Emperor Wei Xiao did not hesitate to spend huge manpower and material resources to build the mausoleum, so the inside must be extremely dangerous.

Before Yuan Shuangqing came here, they had gone down to the tomb four times, each time with heavy casualties, but still did not come across the real main bedroom of Emperor Wei Xiao. Until recently, Zhu Xi was brought back in Yingcheng, knowing that Mutong Sanren was Looking for Chunyang's virgin body, he ordered Ao Zhan to arrest her.

On the way back, the two met Ao Zhan. He pressed his hat and walked over. When he saw Yuan Shuangqing and the others, his body froze for a moment, but he didn't stop.

Zhuge Kao looked at the back of him leaving, thoughtful: "I think there is something wrong with General Ao. He seems to be a little afraid of us. Could it be that he has done something wrong?"

Yuan Shuangqing didn't participate in the discussion, she was thinking about another question: What does Mutong Sanren need Yang Qi for?

She forgot to ask such an important question just now.
