Lin Qingge didn't have many ups and downs in her heart. She understood the plans of Concubine An and others before she came. She believed that Mr. Jiu had made arrangements.
Rather than causing trouble at this time, it would be better to start beating the gongs and drums in front of each other and start singing directly.
"What I'm saying is that these two maids just followed my concubine and don't have much knowledge. I'm afraid that if they make a mistake or say something wrong, I'll disturb your purity, so let them wait for me in front of the Star-Zhailing Tower."
"Caiyue, you make the arrangements."
After saying these words, Concubine An turned around and left, followed by Mrs. Lin and Lin Qiuyue.
Lin Qingge, who was standing there, bowed his head slightly with a respectful expression.
After Concubine An left, just as she was about to give Luo Qing and Luo Hong a few words, Caiyue, who first welcomed her into Changchun Palace, spoke up.
"Young Madam, the stairs to the Star Building are steep and high. You'd better go back quickly. If there's any delay, I'm afraid you'll have to spend a whole day getting there, and I'll be unhappy."
There was obviously a smile on his face, but he couldn't feel the slightest warmth. Instead, he was full of compulsion.
Luo Hong was impatient and understood that Lin Qingge asked them to guard the door of the Star Reaching Tower to protect them.
At that moment, she wanted to go forward and argue with Caiyue, but fortunately Lin Qingge was a step ahead of her and blocked her behind: "It is said that not only must one pray sincerely, but the auspicious timing is also very important and cannot be delayed."
"Young lady, please." Caiyue raised her hand and led Lin Qingge into the Star-Zhaing Tower.
Lin Qingge gave Luo Hong and Luo Qing a look before stepping into the threshold.
Just as she was about to ask where to go, the door behind her was closed, and the lights in the hall suddenly turned on.
The Star-Zhaing Tower is not only magnificent on the outside, but also very grand inside.
In the middle of the main hall on the first floor is a Tai Chi Yin and Yang diagram, surrounded by many star diagrams, which are somewhat similar to modern museums.
But these didn't arouse her interest. What she wanted to find was the library in the Star-Zhailing Tower.
After looking around, she saw the steps in the northeast corner, took a deep breath and walked over.
Looking up, the light coming from the window was not bright, making the steps full of shadows. However, Lin Qingge did not feel uneasy at all, and climbed up step by step.
The library must be searched, and the bracelet An Guifei mentioned must be found, otherwise there may be much trouble.
The entrance to the Star Building.
After Caiyue closed the palace door, she turned to look at Luo Qing and Luo Hong. The smile on her face faded a lot: "I still have to go back to revive the queen, so you two just wait here."
After speaking, he turned around and left without waiting for their response.
Luo Hong was unhappy, and was so angry at her attitude that she almost rushed to beat her.
Or Luo Qing was calm and grabbed her: "Don't you want to die?"
"I'm not afraid of death!"
"You don't care about the safety of the young lady anymore?"
A rhetorical question restrained Luo Hong's impulse, and she raised her eyes to the top of the Star-Zhaing Tower: "How long does it take to climb up? They are simply deliberately embarrassing the young madam, they are going too far."
"I don't think so." Luo Hong shook her head gently.
Luo Qing asked curiously: "Sister, do you know anything?"
"You and I both heard clearly what happened just now. It was the young lady who wanted to go up there herself. She has always been thoughtful and will not do anything that she is not sure about. Let's just wait here for good news."
Changchun Palace.
Caiyue went back and bowed: "Empress, she has already gone up."
Concubine An was drinking tea and had no reaction.
Lin Qiuyue, who had been holding it in for a long time, couldn't bear it anymore: "Aunt, are you and my mother too careful? This slap makes Qiuyue feel so wronged."
She covered her face and curled her lips: "That bitch obviously knew that she had to enter the Star Reaching Tower and was not prepared to resist at all."
"Thank you for your hard work today." Concubine An put down the tea cup, stretched out her hand to pinch her face, and then told Caiyue, "Take her to see the tributes from the Western Regions, and take whatever she likes. It can be considered as compensation for my Qiuyue. ”
"Thank you, aunt." Lin Qiuyue smiled sweetly, turned around and followed Caiyue.
The look on Mrs. Lin's face was full of uneasiness: "Madam, Lin Qingge seems to have come prepared. She entered the Star Reaching Tower without any resistance. This is inconsistent with her usual temperament."
"What kind of temperament does she have on weekdays? Is she indulgent and willful, beating the Prime Minister's wife, ignoring the Prime Minister's legitimate daughter, and doing all kinds of mischief in the Prime Minister's Mansion?" Concubine An's voice was very nice.
But every word spoke of Mrs. Lin's incompetence. Her face was filled with fever, and she lowered her head and dared not speak.
Concubine An didn't feel embarrassed and spoke slowly: "Even if she behaves mischievously on weekdays, does she really dare to misbehave in the palace? After all, she is just a yellow-haired girl. You can't even suppress her, so what else can you do?"
"What I taught you is that I am incompetent."
Mrs. Lin's only response did not make Concubine An happy, but made her even more dissatisfied: "You are really useless. I asked you to poison her food a long time ago and ruin her face. Now, what is she?" what happened!"
"This... I don't know. She was obviously ugly before. But after marrying into the general's mansion, her temperament changed, her face also changed, and she started to laugh. Is it possible that she really knows some medical skills?"
"Does she understand, don't you know? She grew up under your nose." Concubine An glared at Mrs. Lin, "Her beauty cream is indeed good, but such good things are not available to everyone. Enjoy it. Is it almost time? It’s time to start making trouble.”
As soon as she said something, Caiyue hurried in with Lin Qiuyue.
"Your Majesty, the nuns from the Queen Mother's Palace are here. They say that the Queen Mother used beauty cream and got a rash on her face. The other concubines in the palace also have problems with their faces. I want you to go and have a look."
Concubine An gave a sneer and drank another cup of tea before slowly getting up and walking out.
…
Lin Qingge lay lying on his stomach, feeling deeply for the wisdom of the working people and at the same time scolding Emperor Zhou bloody.
Why build such a tall building without an elevator?
Do you really think you can reach the stars? dream!
She sweat-soaked and climbed to the top floor to get the bracelet belonging to Concubine An. After resting for a long time, she quickly walked down. The library on the third floor was the real purpose of her trip.
When she appeared in front of the library again, she felt that her legs were weak, but she didn't care about it. She picked up the candle at the door and studied the ancient books on the separation of souls in order.
In such a huge library, it was her first time to find whatever she was looking for.
After searching for something ambiguous for a long time, she lay down on the bookshelf irritably and tiredly, took a picture, and sat on the ground leaning against the bookshelf, wanting to take a rest.
Not long after, there was the sound of the door being pushed open in the hall downstairs, followed by the sound of countless footsteps.
How could there be so much noise in the palace?
It was they who took action.
Lin Qingge frowned and put his hand on the bookshelf to get up, but heard the sound of a machine, and the next second a one-foot-square hole appeared on the ground, with an ancient scroll lying quietly inside.
It must be unusual to hide it so secretly.
She didn't think too much. She reached out, picked it up, hid it in her arms, and walked out. She only got down one floor when a knife was put to her neck.
"The bold Lin Qingge actually dares to poison the Queen Mother, I will kill you immediately!"
