Chapter 64 Chapter 64 Don't understand the market!

After speaking, he turned and walked outside. "Wait a minute!" Qingchuan hurriedly shouted, and seeing Xuezhen turned around, she hurriedly untied the burden she brought and spread it on the table, revealing the jewelry inside, and said to Xuezhen flatteringly: "I'm new here, and I don't understand anything, so I need everyone's help. These things are not worth much, but they are rewarded by the emperor anyway. Please share them with me, Auntie, as a welcome gift from me." Xuezhen never thought about it, but just glanced at the table, and smiled coldly, "It's a quiet place, and you don't need money, so you should put it away yourself, let's go."

After speaking, he took the maids and left, only Qingchuan and the maid named Yinshuang were left in the room.Qing Chuan was dumbfounded, just looked outside the door, and said strangely: "The people here are really strange, they don't even want money." After hearing that, Yinshuang sneered, "It's not that I don't want it, but I want it all." Qingchuan didn't understand for a while, and couldn't help asking: "What do you mean?" Yinshuang said: "According to the rules here, if a person dies, all belongings belong to the aunt in charge. In other words, if you die, all your things belong to her."

Qing Chuan was startled when she heard this, and quickly forced herself to laugh a few times, and said, "She is so old and I am so young, how could I die before her? It seems that her wishful thinking was wrong." Yinshuang didn't speak, but just looked at her indifferently until she couldn't laugh anymore, then said coldly: "It's your wishful thinking that was wrong, and the female officials who come here to guard the tomb usually don't live for half a year. You just now Didn’t you see it, so I took one out.” Qingchuan was dumbfounded, she invited herself to guard the mausoleum just to save her life, how could she not have imagined that it would be like this when she came here, she sat in a daze for a while, and couldn't help but said to herself: "No, I can't just sit and wait for death , I want to escape."

Yinshuang, who was laying the bed beside her, sneered, and said, "This is an iron wall, how can you escape? Stop talking nonsense, go to sleep, or you will definitely not be able to make it through tomorrow." After speaking, she blew out the oil lamp and lay down on the bed . How could Qingchuan sleep, she looked around, sat down slowly, and murmured: "What the hell is this place?" It wasn't until the next day that Qingchuan understood what Yinshuang meant when she said that she couldn't bear it. After getting up early in the morning and kowtowing in front of the old concubine's coffin, she was kept by Xuezhen and knelt there to pray for the old concubine. Then he didn't even stop talking, and immediately followed by copying scriptures.

Looking at the thick stack of scriptures, Qingchuan said bluntly, "Auntie, there is no way I can finish copying them today." Xuezhen's expression was as cold as ice, and she said lightly: "There are more scriptures to be copied tomorrow." Qingchuan hesitated for a moment, then asked again: "What if I can't finish copying?" Xuezhen replied: "If you can't finish copying, you can't have dinner." Qingchuan was astonished, and asked: "Could it be that you can't finish copying every day, and don't call it dinner every day? Doesn't that mean you're going to starve to death?"

Xuezhen's expression did not change at all, and she said coldly: "If you are starved to death, this servant will give a performance to the emperor, please make you a nobleman and be buried with the old concubine." Qing Chuan didn't dare to argue anymore, and honestly copied the scriptures. After going through this for a month, Qingchuan's body couldn't stand it any longer, secretly thinking that Yinshuang was right, if this continues, she will definitely not be able to survive the aunt in charge.You can't wait to die like this, can you?You still have to find a way to escape.She was interested in surveying the terrain, but Xuezhen guarded them very closely, and there was no chance to wander around.

Qing Chuan was troubled for a few days and couldn't think of a solution, until one time he accidentally saw the string of pearl necklaces bestowed by the imperial concubine hanging on his chest, and suddenly had an idea and thought about it. On this day, taking advantage of the opportunity of going to morning class, Qingchuan secretly pulled off the necklace with his hands, and the pearls fell to the ground and flew out in all directions. Qingchuan hurriedly screamed: "Oh, that's terrible Oh, that's bad." Xuezhen, who was walking in front, turned around and asked with displeasure: "What's the matter, you're surprised?"

Qingchuan looked anxious, looked around for pearls with her head down, and replied: "The pearl necklace that Defei wanted me to enshrine in front of the old concubine's spirit is broken. This is the lady's favorite thing, she said I will send someone over to pick it up after a while, if the pearl is missing, I'm afraid the whole garden will be implicated!" Xuezhen was also afraid of concubine De's reprimand, seeing Qingchuan being so careless, although she was very angry, she couldn't help it, so she said angrily: "Why are you so careless?" After speaking, she hurriedly told the maids around her: "Come on, come on, quickly, help her find the pearl."

Everyone gathered together in a hurry, and lowered their heads to help Qingchuan pick up the scattered pearls on the ground. After hurriedly handing the pearls to Qingchuan, Xuezhen asked, "Is it all there?" When a few rose up, they couldn't be all together. Hearing this, he wrote in frustration: "There are still a few, maybe they rolled far away." Xuezhen didn't doubt that he was there, and ordered everyone to look for him everywhere.Qing Chuan took this opportunity to carefully look at the environment in the garden dormitory, thinking to himself: The main hall is close to the place where the imperial guards live, as long as they go out, they will be found.There are guards at the door, and the fence is so high that even a fly cannot get out.The backyard is the underground palace, which is the closest to the outside, but there is no exit... But because there is no exit, the defense is relatively lax...

She looked around and had a rough idea in her mind, and then she shouted loudly: "I found it, I found it, all the pearls are here, not a single one. I'll go and put them on." On the other hand, Xuezhen said: "No need, put it here, I will keep it for you, and all the jewels in your house will be handed over to me, so as not to lose this and that, and make people lose their heads. The chickens and dogs are restless." Qingchuan knew that Xuezhen's words definitely had bad intentions, but she had no reason to refuse, so she had no choice but to hand over all the pearls to Xuezhen, and replied: "Yes."

According to the rules, everyone has to take turns to guard the mausoleum in the concubine's underground palace, but the underground palace is gloomy and oppressive, and they have to face the coffin of the old concubine. Everyone is somewhat afraid, so some people will always make excuses of one kind or another. Evade escape the vigil.The maid on duty today asked Xuezhen for leave again: "Auntie, can I not go to the underground palace to guard the mausoleum for a while?" Xuezhen somewhat knew the thoughts of these little maids, and asked, "Why?" The little maid was afraid of Xuezhen, so she murmured: "I...I'm not in good health, once I enter that place, I feel chest tightness and shortness of breath, I'm afraid I will die inside." But Xuezhen said coldly: "It's best for you to die inside, it's also an honor to have a court lady willing to die for the old concubine in the garden bedroom." Qing Chuan, who was next to her, was moved in her heart when she heard this, rolled her eyes, and said to Xue Zhen, "Gun, since she is not in good health, why don't I go for her." "You?" Seeing that she had made such a request on her own initiative, Xuezhen couldn't help feeling suspicious, and glanced at her coldly, "Who will chant scriptures and pray for the old concubine when you go?" Qing Chuan hurriedly replied: "Praying in the underground palace is fine too, isn't it more useful to face the corpse than to the spirit position?" Xuezhen sized her up and saw that she had a sincere face and did not seem to be lying, but she still felt a little worried about Qingchuan in her heart, so she said: "Well, since you have said so, I will help you , but you'd better not play tricks. Yinshuang, you stare at her." Yinshuang responded, and led Qingchuan down the underground palace.The underground palace is where the coffin of the old concubine is located, because it was dug in the ground, so as soon as you enter it, you will feel the wind blowing, making you feel cold all over your body.Qingchuan followed Yinshuang to kneel down in the coffin, instead of kneeling in front of the coffin and praying for blessings like Yinshuang, she stood up. Yinshuang looked at it strangely, and asked, "I haven't finished the morning class yet, what do you want to do?" Qing Chuan had the idea of ​​exploring the underground palace, so she turned her head to scare her and said, "I heard from the old people that a person's soul will stay in the world within a month after death, so I want to ask her to pray for her." , Be sure to visit all places, otherwise you did the morning class, but the blessing was not reported to her, and she will come to you at night." Sure enough, a trace of fear flashed across Yinshuang's face: "Is it true?" Qing Chuan promised: "Whether it's true or not, I'll pay my respects all around, lest the old concubine come to me at night." After finishing speaking, he ignored Yinshuang, and bowed everywhere with his hands clasped together.Yinshuang was stunned for a moment, and she didn't know what to think of, and she also got up, and started to pay respects in all directions.Qing Chuan laughed secretly, but didn't dare to show the slightest bit on his face, he just muttered something, and wandered into the underground palace. Suddenly a mouse jumped out from the corner and whizzed past. Qing Chuan was concentrating on observing whether there was a secret passage in the underground palace, and almost stepped on the mouse. She couldn't help screaming in fright: " what--" Yinshuang outside heard the movement and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" Qingchuan exclaimed in surprise: "Why are there still mice in here?" Yinshuang felt relieved when she heard this, and replied without surprise: "Before the underground palace is sealed, usually a few air holes are opened to let the living people come in and out freely. After seventy-seven forty-nine days, the underground palace is sealed." , these pores should also be closed." Qing Chuan was taken aback for a moment, and took a closer look at the hole that the mouse had drilled just now. He saw that the hole was no bigger than a fist, and it was really just a vent for ventilation. That's it!But how can this hole be enlarged? Yinshuang didn't know that Qingchuan had the idea of ​​escaping hidden in her heart, so she just said: "Okay, don't look at it, hurry up and do the morning class! After the morning class, you can go out earlier!" Afraid of arousing Yinshuang's suspicion, Qingchuan hurriedly glanced at the air hole again, and then went to the outside room for morning class.The two went out after their morning class, and Xuezhen left the scriptures for Qingchuan to copy.Seeing that Xuezhen didn't give her any time to rest, Qingchuan was clearly torturing her on purpose, and the idea of ​​running away became more determined in her heart.
