She's going to be a sect boss

Chapter 27 The Harem
"Miss He, are you here?"

A court lady outside knocked on the door and asked in a low voice. He Miao realized that someone was coming from the palace, and immediately opened the door decisively.

The palace maids entered with hot water, flower petals, various clothes and jewelry.The leading maid was older and explained with a smile:

"Miss He, this is a gift from the Empress. Please ask Miss He to take a bath and change clothes."

It was a rare opportunity for He Miao to enjoy it, and he did not refuse it immediately.When you come out of the mausoleum, you should take a good bath to get rid of bad luck.

After some washing, He Miao put on the clothes made of silk in the palace, layers upon layers, extremely complicated, wearing all kinds of expensive headgear, and experienced the life of the ancient nobles.

"The empress is here to invite you."

The leading lady-in-waiting took He Miao to the queen's bedroom. He Miao didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the other party's gourd, and still tightly clutched his mahogany sword in his hand.

Her impression of the queens in the deep palaces in ancient times was only in the palace dramas of the Qing Dynasty, with ulterior motives and she had to guard against them.

Unexpectedly, the empress looked a little older than the emperor, with an oval face and almond eyes, graceful and luxurious, and a soft face.

"Thanks to Miss He this time, can I get used to eating and living in the palace?" The queen immediately grabbed He Miao's hand and started chatting, as if the two were ladies who had known each other for many years.

As the saying goes, if you don't have anything to do, you can either rape or steal.

He Miao's heart rang alarm bells.

Listening to the queen's inquiring about He Miao's life experience intentionally or unintentionally, He Miao could only play tricks, telling half of the truth, and the truth and the false were entangled.

The queen took He Miao to the back garden to enjoy the flowers, and raised a question: "Miss He looks young, so I have the guts to call her a younger sister. I wonder if younger sister He is married?"

He Miao raised her left eyebrow slightly, she could probably guess why this so-called empress came to her.

"The next grassroots people are used to being idle and carefree. They don't like rules and restraints the most, and they have never thought of getting married. The empress is virtuous and generous. In the previous dynasty of the Great Zheng Kingdom, there was a wise emperor like the emperor, and there was a queen in the harem. Your leader will definitely make the Great Zheng Kingdom It's booming."

Speaking of this, He Miao paused, and then said: "The queen doesn't have to worry about others."

Empress Xingren's eyes flashed with surprise, and then she said with a smile on her face: "Sister He is a wonderful person, I hate seeing Sister He too late."

He Miao could just listen to such scenes.

Sisters and sisters are even more meaningless.

The two of them were talking nonsense, when they heard a young eunuch reporting from outside: "Qi Empress, General Shangguan woke up, and sent someone to ask to see Miss He."

The empress still had a professional smile on her face, and told He Miao, "Since the general Shangguan has invited you, sister He should go quickly. When you are free, you have to have a good chat with sister He."

He Miao nodded slightly, followed the guards and left.

General Shangguan's injury was not serious, but with the current level of medical treatment, he might have to take care of it for a while with an internal injury of this degree.

He Miao stepped inside, and saw General Shangguan half leaning on the bed, his eyes half closed, his nose bridge high, his hard armor had already been taken off, his face was pale, and he was wearing plain clothes, which made his whole body look fair point.

Hearing footsteps, he hurriedly opened his eyes.

After seeing He Miao's outfit clearly, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"What's up?"

He Miao took a step forward, looked at his face, and felt that there was nothing serious, so he sat down in front of the bed by himself.

"I have news from the person I sent out. The body occupied by the former Yin Huaniang, that is, Miss Yun Qingshui, was originally a lady from a family in the suburbs of Gyeonggi Province. According to her family, Yun Qingshui had an accident a few days ago. After a serious illness, his temperament suddenly changed drastically, and he disappeared afterwards, and his family members have already reported the case to the yamen."

He Miao nodded, it seems that Yun Qingshui's so-called serious illness was also caused by Yin Huaniang.

She has never believed in Yin Huaniang's nonsense, the best way to seize a house is to find a living person to attach to, it's not what Yin Huaniang said that she found a dead body, she only feels sorry for the real Yun Qingshui.

"However, we have to wait for someone to pull the corpse out of the imperial mausoleum so that the family members can identify the corpse." General Shangguan continued.

He Miao nodded again, indicating that he understood.

General Shangguan coughed lightly, and then asked, "How should we deal with the mysterious bees in the imperial mausoleum?"

He Miao touched his chin with his palm, and asked tentatively, "Do you have any explosives here?"

"Explosives?"

Sure enough, General Shangguan had deep doubts in his eyes, and he muttered this strange word in his mouth.

He Miao patted her head angrily, blaming her for being a liberal arts student, not good at chemistry, she had completely forgotten the basic principles of explosives, otherwise she would definitely be able to show her skills in front of these ancients today.

"If you don't have explosives, keep them to prevent outsiders from entering the imperial tomb again. But you still have to be careful."

The mysterious bee is extremely poisonous, and if it stings, it will kill it. He Miao can only think of this way at the moment.

"it is good."

General Shangguan had a gentle expression on his face.

He Miao felt that since he came to visit the patient, he should inquire about his condition. "Well, General Shangguan, are you feeling alright?"

General Shangguan coughed lightly, and then said: "Shangguan Mu, my full name, you can also call me by my name——Wai De."

He Miao looked at him, avoided his eyes, and then pretended to mutter casually: "Good name, General Shangguan really has a good name."

According to the etiquette, the two should exchange names, but right now, He Miao's name is a taboo in the world of cultivating immortals, so she would not casually tell someone she has known for less than a few days.

Just take her as He Qing.

General Shangguan couldn't hide the disappointment in his eyes, and turned to say: "Do you agree to what the empress told you?"

It seems that he also knows why the queen is looking for him.

He Miao shook his head. The queen's words were obviously for the purpose of using her strength and keeping her in the harem as the emperor's concubine.

She is not willing to stay in such a small harem.

General Shangguan nodded in relief, his expression improved a lot, and he was obviously satisfied with He Miao's answer.

"By the way, General Shangguan practiced swordsmanship since childhood?" He Miao asked.

"Miss Qing'er can call me Huaide."

Shangguan Mu lowered his voice.

He Miao choked for a moment, but it didn't matter.Biting her tongue right now, it hurt, so she opened her tongue and said vaguely:
"General Huaide, I have something to ask you about swordsmanship."

He Miao learned from Bihai Pavilion, and followed the path of sword repair, practicing water-based skills.

She stayed in Bihai Pavilion for three years, and her master taught her the method of drawing qi into the body. In the third year, she entered the third level of the Qi refining stage. Her master, Old Man Shengu, once presented a set of swordsmanship to teach He Miao.

It's a pity that the plan can't keep up with the changes. Without the master, He Miao still has that set of swordsmanship in his hands.

Right now, she plans to ask General Shangguan to help her.
