It was early morning in Kyoto, and Bai Xianyu had nothing to clean up, but she had to carry some equipment necessary to pretend to be a man. Considering that the imperial tomb must be a dragon's pool and a tiger's den, she not only checked and checked the appearance, but also put these equipment I also made a camouflage to make sure that I can't see the original appearance, so I put it in the bag with confidence.

When she came to the imperial mausoleum in a carriage, she felt like the dust had settled.

Ever since the news was intercepted in Linzhou, she had always had a shocking idea in her mind. At first she thought it was unbelievable, but now that she thought about it, it was very possible.

And whether all of this can be answered in the affirmative depends on the people in the imperial tomb.

Xiao Zheng sent Bai Xianyu off the carriage and consciously picked up her burden.

A maid of honor stood at the gate of the huge imperial mausoleum surrounded by nine dragons and saluted them.

"This is Master Guoshi, right?" She smiled and stepped forward, "I am the servant girl who is in charge of arranging your residence, just call me Chunqiu."

Bai Xianyu nodded, "Excuse me."

Chunqiu smiled slightly, and made a gesture of invitation, "National Teacher, please come this way."

Bai Xianyu followed her in.

According to the news brought by Shengmen, the imperial mausoleum is divided into three outer floors and three inner floors. Most of the outer three floors are relatives of the emperor who have made mistakes, or people who have invited to guard the tomb, because they can only enter and cannot exit. , like confinement, most of the people living in the outer three floors are haggard, and they can't see the glamor of the past. She has a detailed map of the outer three floors in her hand.

As for the inner three floors, the only thing that can be known is that the first floor of the three inner floors is mostly occupied by maidservants served by the late emperor, the second floor is occupied by concubines, and the innermost floor is the mausoleum.

If he performed the ritual of praying for blessings, he would naturally pray to the ancestors for the future generations. He could use the name of the national teacher to go directly to the third floor, but it was impossible to stay for a long time in between.

Besides, according to the importance that Emperor Wuxuan attached to the imperial mausoleum, there must be many people guarding her when she saluted, and she would be watched back after she saluted. Once she made any changes, it would be reported to Emperor Wuxuan's ears.

"May I ask Master Guoshi, how long will it take for this ceremony of praying for blessings? This old slave will let you know and arrange meals for you properly."

Bai Xianyu would like to say one month, the longer the better, but there has never been a blessing ceremony that takes so long, and if it takes a long time, it will easily attract suspicion.

She pondered for a while, "Half a month."

According to her memory, if she walked back and forth for seven days, she could probably figure out all the routes on the third floor. In the remaining seven days, she needed to find a way to get the news she wanted.

"The old slave knows." Chunqiu's back is a little swollen, but his age can't be seen from his face, "Master Guoshi will take a short rest, and the servant will send you lunch in a while, what else do you need? Tell the servants that the servants have obeyed the emperor's order, and dare not be negligent in the slightest."

Bai Xianyu nodded, tapped his fingers on the table, "After lunch, can you take me around?"

Chunqiu paused slightly, "Where do you want to go shopping?"

"I heard that there are many forbidden places in the imperial tomb. I am afraid that I will accidentally break into it and offend the holy majesty. If you take me around in advance, you can avoid these things if you think about it."

Chunqiu smiled dumbly, "Don't be nervous, Master Guoshi. There is no forbidden area on the outer layer. You can go wherever you want. Here, you can't get in without a key. Even the old man wants to get in. Ask for instructions."

Bai Xianyu paused for a moment, then continued: "That's good."

"However, Master Guoshi will live here for half a month, and it must be a bit boring. If you want to walk around, it's okay. After you have eaten later, the servant will take you around."

"Thank you very much then."

"National teacher, you don't have to be polite."

Xiao Zheng covered his face all the time, tossing himself like an assassin during the day, Chunqiu glanced at him, and said politely: "Lord National Teacher, this is your bodyguard?"

"Ah."

"The Imperial Mausoleum is heavily guarded. No one will dare to harm the Imperial Mausoleum." She said: "According to the rules, the Imperial Mausoleum cannot bring anyone with you. If you need guards, there will be guards from the Imperial Tomb to protect you." .”

Bai Xianyu was just about to find a reason to let Xiao Zheng leave. Hearing what Chunqiu said, she didn't hesitate for long, "It seems that this time I can only leave me alone."

Xiao Zheng had been prepared for a long time, Xie Xingyun had already confessed to him a lot last night, so he was very respectful, "Yes."

"Then you can leave with me so as not to disturb Master Guoshi's rest." Chunqiu smiled kindly.

"it is good."

"Wait." Just as Xiao Zheng was about to step out of the threshold, Chunqiu suddenly stopped him again, "Before leaving, I have to check the things in the bag."

Xiao Zhenggang put Bai Xianyu's baggage on the chair, and a box of clothes. Apart from these things, there was nothing else.

For some reason, Xiao Zheng's heart beat a little faster. He had experienced life and death more than once by Xie Xingyun's side, and he had a premonition of the coming danger beyond ordinary people.

Bai Xianyu thought she would stop checking, but he didn't expect to wait for her here.

"My lord, don't blame the servants for being abrupt. The servants also act according to the rules. If someone brings forbidden items in the burden of the lord, and implicates the lord, then the lord will not be able to argue? It's not as good as it is now. Open them one by one in front of the servants, and there is no problem after inspection, even if someone deliberately framed them in the future, the National Teacher will not be afraid."

"Since you are acting in accordance with the rules, how can you refuse as a grand master?" Bai Xianyu raised her lips, "Chunqiu can do whatever she wants to investigate."

Chunqiu looked at the raised lips of the young man who was probably not yet as weak as the crown, inexplicably felt that his lips were much prettier than the lips of most noble girls in Kyoto, the deep red was like lip balm, and it looked tight, but unfortunately the facial features were too wimpy Nothing special, otherwise with the title of young national teacher, I am afraid that he is not inferior to Prime Minister Xie.

"Yes, thank you, Master, for your understanding."

Chunqiu unpacks the burden in front of Bai Xianyu and Xiao Zheng.

Xiao Zheng was carrying some spices, things for divination, and strange things in the bag he was carrying. He would ask Bai Xianyu about some things he didn't know about in the Spring and Autumn Period.

Bai Xianyu answered one by one, but Chunqiu still remembered them one by one. If there were no accidents, she might go to ask for proof. Now this is remembering the things in her baggage.

Bai Xianyu is very sure about her disguise. For ordinary people, disguise is just for fun, just to find a novelty, but for her, it is the life of her family, not only her own life, but also the life of the whole family. The lives of everyone in the house.

So since three years ago, she has been thinking hard that many powerful masters can't see through her disguise, let alone a maid in the imperial tomb.

Sure enough, Chunqiu finished the inspection very quickly, bowed down and said respectfully: "There is no problem, my lord, I offended you."

"nothing."
