Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 2232 Drawings
"I dreamed about my childhood."

Li Ji stroked his forehead, his eyes were a little blank, "It happened a long time ago."

"Where did you live when you were a child?" Lady Yao handed him a pair of bamboo chopsticks and asked curiously, "You must have grown up in a place where you were either rich or expensive, right?"

Li Ji's demeanor has always been unusual.When she saw him for the first time, she felt that although this man was wearing a strange mask, he couldn't conceal the nobleness of his gestures. At first glance, he looked like a pampered prince and aristocrat.

"Is rich or expensive?"

Li Ji smiled wryly when he heard the words, "That's right."

The place where he lived when he was a child was indeed very noble, but it might not be the same as the wealth and honor that Lady Yao had imagined.

He said lightly, "I grew up in the palace."

"Sure enough," Lady Yao said with a clear face, "You look like a blessed person. Since he was a child, he has been clothed and well-fed, which is not something we low-class slaves can compare to."

Looking at the food she brought for the palace people on the stone table, she looked ashamed, "You must not be used to this kind of simple food, right?"

Li Ji shook his head, cupped his hands to thank Lady Yao, and picked up his chopsticks.

"Although it is in the palace, there are many days when there is no food."

Ms. Yao was stunned upon hearing this.

"I was imprisoned in a cold palace when I was young," Li Ji said while eating, "Some palace people brought me food every day, but they only came once a day, and gradually, they would forget once every few days. .”

To be able to eat a full meal a day is already the greatest luxury for him when he was young.

The food is getting rougher and coarser. When he was five years old, he could still eat the food left by the upper and lower people. Although it was cold and hard, at least the portion was sufficient.But when they are eight or nine years old, they are often delivered with leftovers discarded overnight that the servants don't eat, and they often have severe pain in the stomach after eating them.

Fortunately, he was used to the pain since he was a child, so he survived.

Later, when Zhao Guang found him, his treatment improved.

Zhao Guang would often secretly bring him some snacks, which were the most delicious things he had ever eaten when he was a child.

But after all, it was brought by a child in his arms, and most of it was cold.

It was after he was 12 years old that he could really eat hot food for every meal.

"Eating enough to satisfy my hunger is enough for me," Li Ji ate all the food that Lady Yao brought, not a single grain of rice was left.

After eating, he thanked her again, "I've troubled you these days."

"No, no," Officer Yao felt embarrassed by him, "I can only come to deliver it once a day, and the food is already cold."

Recently, the atmosphere in the palace is not right, she didn't dare to come during the day, and only sneaked here late at night with the food box she hid during the day.

"Enough is enough."

Li Ji said softly, "You don't have to force it. I won't be in danger if I don't eat for a few days. If it's inconvenient for you, it's okay to stop for a few days."

"It's okay, I'm not that busy."

Lady Yao quickly waved her hand, "The queen never let us keep watch at night, except for the two dowries she brought from the Northern Wei Dynasty, no one else was kept outside the room. Every night, we all go back to our residences, I'll be fine."

Li Ji narrowed his eyes slightly, "Really?"

It is considered kind of the master not to allow the maids to watch the night, but it is a bit strange not to even let the maids stay outside the room.

Unless, the queen wants to meet someone special in the evening.

"How long did it take for the former King of Qin to come to the Queen's Palace?"

According to the ancestral system of the Great Qin Dynasty, if the former Qin king wanted to visit other concubines, he had to find someone to carry the concubine to his residence, and then send it away after finishing the work. The concubine could not spend the night with the king.

Only the queen is eligible to spend the night with the king.If the former Qin king wanted to sleep with the queen, he had to move to the palace where the queen was, and live in the queen's palace at night.

"This……"

Lady Yao had a difficult expression on her face, "Your Majesty, he will not come to your empress's palace."

The two of them even have children, so it's impossible that they haven't done what they should do, right?
Ying Hanri would not be so stupid as to blatantly raise a son for someone else, there must be a husband and wife dunlun between the two.

But it's not in the queen's palace. Could it be that Ying Hanri treats the queen like a concubine?
Li Ji couldn't help frowning, "That's his real wife."

As an old man in the palace, Ms. Yao naturally knew that what Ying Hanri did was against the rules.She smiled wryly, "Your Majesty doesn't want to leave the Ganlu Hall where you live, so every time you use a bullock cart to take your empress to your bedroom."

To Ying Hanri, that palace was probably like a tortoise shell.

Li Ji couldn't help sneering in his heart.

Half a year has passed, and Ying Baoyue has changed from an ordinary person with nothing to a fourth-rank practitioner.As the former King of Qin, Ying Hanri still hid in his heavily guarded bedroom and dared not come out as always.

Since he has never entered the queen's bedroom even once, he must not have noticed who is hiding in the queen's palace, right?

Li Ji narrowed his eyes, for the ten days he hid in Afang Palace, he would go out late at night every day, and return to this place at dawn.He had already searched most of Miyagi quietly, but found nothing.

Li Ji took out a rag from his pocket and spread it on his knees.

"Mr. Zhaohua, this is..."

Ms. Yao opened her eyes wide, and found that there were many patterns drawn with charcoal on the rag, half of which were densely drawn.

"The map of Efang Palace," Li Ji said indifferently, "although it is only half drawn."

As a state secret, the drawings of the internal structure of Efang Palace have never been circulated outside.

Taking this opportunity, Li Ji decided to draw a precise and accurate floor plan by himself to unveil the veil of this mysterious palace.

He started to complete the map every night after he came back from night exploration. Starting from the palace group on the easternmost side, he had already finished half of the map.

Ms. Yao looked at the detailed drawings in front of her, and her back felt chills.

I am afraid that the old palace people who have lived in Efang Palace for decades will not be able to draw such a map.

When the picture was completely completed, she always felt that something ominous would happen.

She doesn't know how to fight, but she wants to know how much impact this picture will have if it falls into the hands of someone who wants to capture Efang Palace.

Fear appeared in Ms. Yao's eyes, "Mr. Zhaohua, what are you trying to do with this picture?"

"Just record it first." Li Ji glanced at her and closed the map. "Don't worry, I won't let this map spread outside the world."

He didn't want to destroy the palace.

"I have already turned around all the palaces in the east," Li Ji stood up, "Tonight, it's time to go to the west."

"West?"

Officer Yao suddenly shuddered.

"If I'm not mistaken, the bedroom of your empress is on the west side, right?"

Li Ji asked softly.

Officer Yao's heart beat faster when she heard that, "It's in the west."

Li Ji looked at her, neither happy nor angry, "What's the name of the hall?"

Ms. Yao's teeth began to chatter, and she paused every word, "Call, Weiyang Palace."

Li Ji's pupils shrank slightly.

Weiyang Palace, this is an extremely familiar name to him.
