In the face of the Empress Dowager's will, how dare ordinary maids disobey it? The maid in waiting was not suspicious. She answered respectfully and then stepped back.

The Zen room of the Empress Dowager is in the quietest corner of the backyard of the palace. Most people can't find it here. After all, it's a place for self-cultivation, meditation and meditation. If it's as noisy as the front hall, I'm afraid it will lose its due value.

Avoiding all eyes, the Empress Dowager carried a food box and went into the meditation room carefully. She was afraid that someone would follow her. After entering, she explored the scene outside the door through the small hole in the wooden door. After confirming that there was no one, she went into the room again.

Different from the ordinary Zen house, the Empress Dowager's Zen house is like opening a cave in the palace of CI Ning. Although there is an old ancient gate outside, it is narrow and dilapidated. As soon as she goes in, her sight suddenly brightens up. It is a small independent courtyard in the palace.

"It's really hard for you before. Eat it. It's all vegetarian food. We don't eat meat. If we suddenly ask our servant girls to send us some wine and meat, it's easy to make people suspicious. You can make do with it first. When we find a chance to send you out of the palace, we'll make it up to you."

Entering from a porch of the Zen room, the Empress Dowager said to the dark room that the light in the room was so bad that she couldn't even see a person.

"Well, I know it's not easy to rescue me. I don't want too much. I'm very satisfied that I can have a shelter here. The emperor has been holding you back with me. It's my honor that you can always think about me."

In the dark, a voice of vicissitudes said gratefully. Through the faint candle light, he could see the tears on his face. After that, he happily opened the food box and ate the food inside.

Outside the palace of cining.

Susu, with her skirt in her hand, is running on the bluestone road. She is in a hurry, but she is not in a hurry to catch up with the time when everyone usually goes to see her. She is very anxious. Susu doesn't want to delay her good time to flatter the Empress Dowager because of other things.

"Miss, can you run slowly? I can't run any more. How can your physical strength be so good? Oh, miss, wait for me. Are we going too far?"

Jiuming is struggling to follow Su Su. She is out of breath as she runs. The key point is that she looks around and finds that the grass on both sides is gloomy. Her young lady doesn't follow the way to CI Ning Palace at all. She's a little uneasy.

Susu didn't pay attention to Jiuming, so she walked along the narrower and narrower road. During this time, they drilled a dog hole, crossed two or three haystacks, and finally came to a dilapidated palace.

"Oh, you come with me. I always remember that there is a small road outside the palace. It seems like a shortcut. I haven't tried it yet. I think it should be this road, but I don't think it's right to run here."

Susu scratched the back of her head and looked at the scene in front of her vaguely. She thought, since it's over, it's too late to take the right road, so she'd take a shortcut around the road, which might save a lot of time.

But... But when Su Su ran in from that path, she found that the situation here was not the same as what she thought.

It's true that Lu Dao leads to the CI Ning palace, but Su Su finds that she has never seen such a scene in the CI Ning palace. Besides, the CI Ning palace is the residence of the Empress Dowager. Qin Bu Zhou is so filial that she certainly won't let the Empress Dowager's site have such an eye-catching building.

"Niang Niang, let's go back the same way. Look, it's not a good place for us to hide here. What if... What if we lock up a madman? I don't have the strength to run any more! Miss, let's go back! "

Jiuming is afraid to hide behind Su Su and beg by pulling the corner of her clothes. She thinks something is wrong with this other garden. Just the gloomy and terrible atmosphere makes Jiuming feel very uncomfortable.

Not to mention, this time, Jiuming was not the only one who was afraid. Seeing such an ancient house, Su Su automatically added the terrible scenes in the horror films she had seen in her previous life, but she also had a strong curiosity in her heart.

Where on earth is this? Why is there such a strange place in the Empress Dowager's harem?

Su Su always felt something was wrong in her heart. After thinking about it, she decided to summon up the courage to go and inquire, just to inquire at the door. She didn't want to go in and meet some strange people. She couldn't get out.

"Jiuming, just wait for me here for a while, and hide next to the grass. Let the palace go and explore. If there's something wrong with the palace, you have to run to the emperor's place to help the palace."Long out of a tone, crisp crisp patted Jiuming's shoulder, low voice told Jiuming some, followed by the account of their own affairs, the tone is very heavy.

"Miss, you'd better be a slave. Your body is more precious than that of a slave. How dare you hide here and put you in danger? You see, let's come back to explore when there are too many people next time?"

Jiuming said timidly and weakly, her nose was runny by the cold wind, but she also wanted to retreat, but her master was a stubborn donkey, and she couldn't pull it back. Finally, for fear of something wrong with Susu, Jiuming had to volunteer to stand up.

"What can you find in this little girl? You just stay here, and I won't go in. I'll just wait and see at the door. Don't coax me any more. I'm gone. "

Without waiting for Jiuming to struggle in her heart, Susu stood up straight, looked left and right, and went out, because her intuition told her that there must be something wrong with this small yard, and it may also matter a lot.

Coming to the wooden door, Su Su was surprised to find that there was a hole the size of a perspective eye on the door. Through the hole, he could see the scene in the yard.

"Hehe, it seems that heaven really helps me. What secret is hidden here? Now it's time to reveal. "

Su Su repressed her ups and downs of heart, silently recited a sentence in her heart, and then carefully put her eyes close to the hole to observe the scene in the other garden.

I don't know. I'm scared. As soon as Susu's eyes came into contact with the other court, she was surprised to find that there was an old Eunuch in eunuch's clothes, who was talking to a mysterious woman at the end with her back to the door. Susu couldn't hear what she said.

Even so, Su Su was still shocked. She didn't expect that there were people living in such a dilapidated place, and she was an old eunuch. It seems that the relationship between the old eunuch and the Empress Dowager is not very general.

From the position of Su Su, we can barely see the face of the old eunuch. Although it is only half, we can make a rough picture in our heart. From the face of the old eunuch, Su Su thinks that he should be no more than a few years older than the Empress Dowager.
