Chapter 289: The Unruly and Willful Concubine (8)
Chapter 289: The Unruly and Willful Concubine (8)
Gu Zhen lay on the dragon bed and was forced to listen to a live sex show.
I didn't expect that the hero and heroine would play so colorfully.
They could do whatever they wanted on the couch in the outer room, separated only by a screen.
Just when I could no longer bear it, I suddenly heard a sound of something falling to the ground outside, and then it broke into pieces with a "pop".
The pair of mandarin ducks outside were startled. Just as Zhan Linxiao was about to go and see what was going on, he heard the sleeping concubine inside wake up and yawn lazily.
Zhan Linxiao immediately lost interest in anything else. He grabbed the clothes on the couch to wrap Shen Fangshu up, picked her up and went into the bathroom.
Gu Zhen rolled her eyes and was still saying "Where is the emperor?", but he had already gone outside.
Just now, the two of them were leaning against the antique display cabinet by the wall, and the noise was so loud that a screen on top fell down.
Gu Zhen muttered to himself as he bent down to fiddle with the screen. The embroidery was exquisite and the frame was made of jade. It must be priceless, but it was broken.
Just as I was feeling regretful, I discovered that something seemed to be wrong.
There seemed to be a groove at the bottom of the base of the screen. Gu Zhen's heart moved, and he reached out to press it. Sure enough, after an almost inaudible "click" sound, a small box slowly fell out from it.
But it was only half the size of Gu Zhen's palm.
Without having time to take a closer look, Gu Zhen snorted, "The Emperor left me alone again. I will not let him off next time!"
After saying this, he restored the base to its original state and put it away quietly, and couldn't wait to leave Qianning Palace.
Zhan Linxiao in the bathroom breathed a sigh of relief, but was bitten on the shoulder by Shen Fangshu.
The woman in his arms had rosy cheeks and her eyes were full of dissatisfaction with him.
"I want to see how the imperial concubine won't forgive you! Humph!"
Zhan Linxiao's chest vibrated and he let out a low and joyful laugh. He lowered his head and kissed Shen Fangshu, then continued the good thing that had just been interrupted.
At this time, Gu Zhen was already holding the box and called Bi Ru to go back to Changle Palace together.
When passing by the Imperial Garden, Gu Zhen met a few concubines who were out for a trip. She ignored them and left like the wind.
Concubine Xian, Concubine De, Concubine Shu, and several lower-ranking concubines all looked at each other, wondering how they had offended the Imperial Concubine again.
Gu Zhen, who was "offended" by everyone, hid alone in the bed curtains and nervously spread out his palms. The sweat from his palms almost wet the box.
She opened the box carefully, and her eyes lit up. A small dragon-shaped jade pendant lay inside, and next to it was an extremely small and thin scroll.
Gu Zhen was extremely excited and opened the scroll bit by bit, revealing the tiny words inside.
Fortunately, she had good eyesight. The words on the scroll were concise and to the point, and Gu Zhen had already memorized them.
This is indeed everything the late emperor recorded about the Dragon Shadow Guard!
Including passwords, inheritance methods, recipes for poisons and antidotes to control the Dragon Shadow Guards, and the true identities and contact signals of the twenty-eight secret guards of the Dragon Shadow Guards.
Gu Zhen almost laughed out loud.
As expected, this thing only appears when the male and female protagonists are doing that!
She got what she wanted today without any effort, God help her!
Gu Zhen memorized the contents, put the scroll back in place, and found a proper place to hide it.
She wore the jade pendant close to her body and hidden it on her chest.
Gu Zhen adjusted his mood, wrote a note, and called Bi Ru in.
"Bi Ru, accompany me for a walk. I feel stuffy in this room."
Didn't the queen just come back from outside? Bi Ru was a little puzzled, but since the master had spoken, there was no reason not to listen, "Queen, shall we go for a walk in the Imperial Garden?"
Gu Zhen casually said "hmm", and without taking anyone else with him, the master and servant held an umbrella and walked towards the Imperial Garden.
Cicadas chirped noisily in the summer afternoon, and the sun shone on the precious flowers, plants and trees in the Imperial Garden, casting mottled patterns.
There was constant laughter and chatter inside, all from the concubines who came out to enjoy the cool air after their nap.
Gu Zhen thought that it was really pitiful for these women to be widowed in the deep palace. Even though they came from prominent families, they could marry a handsome man of equal status and live with him for the rest of their lives.
Now it's all been ruined by the dog emperor.
As soon as they gained power, they would release them from the palace, change their names, and after a while no one would remember them.
Not wanting to meet this group of people, Gu Zhen changed direction and walked deeper into the Imperial Garden.
The imperial garden was full of pavilions and towers, as well as rockeries and beautiful rocks. Gu Zhen walked around a few corners and could no longer hear the conversations of the concubines.
The scroll said that the contact point was in a small pond at the deepest part of the Imperial Garden, which was connected to the waterway of the imperial palace. As long as the contact password was placed in a specially made bamboo tube, it would flow along the water to the designated place.
Gu Zhen never dared to underestimate the unique wisdom of the ancients, but she had never been to the Imperial Garden much, and it took her a long time to reach the end.
There was indeed a small pond at the end with a rockery inside. The scenery was beautiful and the breeze was gentle, but few people came here and the pond looked a little dilapidated.
"On the way here, I saw a fruit tree. Biru, go pick some fruits for me and wash them in the pond water to satisfy my craving."
Bi Ru glanced at the black pool water and thought that if the water was clean, it would mean that the water here was very deep.
The water is black and deep, she can't just leave her mother here alone.
"My lady..." Bi Ru hesitated, "There is no one to serve you here. I am worried about you being alone here."
Gu Zhen patted her hands. Bi Ru was very loyal. She was with the original owner until his death. In the end, both the master and the servant did not end up well. She was trustworthy.
"Then you stay here at the intersection. I have something important to do. In this deep palace, the only person I can trust is you, Sister Biru."
Bi Ru's nose felt sore. She hadn't heard of this title since the young lady grew up. At this moment, she felt touched but couldn't help worrying.
She did not ask Gu Zhen what he was going to do, but walked to the path and looked around carefully.
Gu Zhen walked to the edge of the pond, took three steps to the east, squatted down and carefully felt the stone platform at the edge. After feeling for a while, he found a bulge. Unlike other stones, this bulge was slightly loose.
When I pressed hard, I heard a slight sound of mechanical expansion. Next to the protruding stone, a hole that was only big enough for a hand to fit in appeared.
At the same time, the rockery in the pond slowly split into two halves.
Suddenly, the water in the pond flowed through the rockery and into the depths.
Gu Zhen took out a bamboo tube from the hole and put the note with the password in it. In addition to the password, she also left the meeting time and place.
Throw the bamboo tube into the water, and it will follow the direction of the flow, pass through the rockery, and slowly disappear.
Gu Zhen pressed the switch again, the rockery closed, and the water changed its course and flowed in a different direction.
Whether this contact method is reliable or not depends on whether the Dragon Shadow Guard will come to Changle Palace to find her tonight.
Gu Zhen clapped his hands to shake off the dirt, looking forward to the arrival of night.
