Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 1457 The Secret of the Chamber of Secrets 23.0
"That's true." Jin Miaomiao nodded, "Aside from all standpoints, the life of the Empress Dowager is truly legendary!"

"That's right, the concubine who has not been favored all her life and lived a prosperous life was once the envy of many women in the harem." Shen Cha rolled her eyes, "But they didn't expect that she herself was deliberately planning to enter the palace. The purpose of coming here is not to please the emperor, but to..." She gently wiped her neck with her hand, "The women in the harem, all the brains combined, can't compare with the empress dowager The only little finger that can barely compete with her is that empress of the Xue family."

"That's right. The Xue family is the only person in the palace who knows the true face of the Empress Dowager, so she will die the fastest." Jin Miaomiao sighed softly, and moved herself off the shelf. A big camphor wood box was opened, and when she saw what was inside, she slightly raised her eyebrows, and said in surprise, "Eh? What... is this? The Hou Ye's house is really full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers!" She picked up a teacup inside, lowered her head After smelling it and putting it down, he picked up the teapot next to him, opened the lid, smelled the faint tea fragrance inside, and said to Chen Cha, "It has a very faint fragrance, it seems that some people drink tea from this teapot all year round, so, A faint tea fragrance remains. But..."

"But what?"

"This scent smells very simple. It is specially used to drink tea made from a certain kind of flower." Jin Miaomiao blinked, put down the pot in his hand, picked up another clay pot, and smelled it, "This is Used to drink smoked tea, the smell is quite strong, and it is different from others. But..."

"Never seen it in the mansion, have you?"

"That's right." Jin Miaomiao put down the clay tea set in his hand, picked up another one, and looked at it carefully, "The tea set in Wudinghou's mansion is not so exquisite, and it's not so particular. The mansion, even the Duke's mansion, has never been used so well."

"We just seldom use this kind, because we are not used to such extravagant things, but it doesn't mean we don't have them at home." Shen Cha jumped out of the big box and leaned over to have a look. The box is almost full of tea sets, made of jade and ceramics , clay, etc., and even made of gold, she picked up a jade teapot, looked at it carefully, put it back again, raised her eyebrows slightly, "judging from the shape and design of the teapot, It's for girls."

"You mean, it belongs to that empress?" Seeing Shen Cha nodding, Jin Miaomiao chuckled, "Use it when you are in the boudoir?"

"How is it possible? Most of the utensils she used in her boudoir should have been brought into the palace. During those years in the palace, they were more or less rewarded to the servants and palace people in the palace. Moreover, this style, utensils The shape and pattern of the tea set, for the Xue family, can be regarded as arrogance, unless..." Shen Cha smiled lightly, "It was rewarded from the palace, but the utensils rewarded by the palace will not be the same as those used in the palace. you know what I mean?"

"I see. You mean, this is the relic of that empress?"

"That's right." Shen Cha casually picked up a tea bowl, turned it over and pointed to the inscription on the bottom of the bowl, "Did you see it? This inscription proves that this thing came from the palace, and not just anyone can use it. "

"I really didn't expect that there are so many ways. However, the shape and pattern of such utensils should not be used in the palace now, right? It seems to be outdated."

"No need, this is too luxurious for His Majesty." Shen Cha smiled lightly, "You have also seen the current situation in the palace, all the utensils are very simple, not so complicated, such The shape and pattern of the utensils are liked by the emperor's uncle and emperor's grandfather, but brother Xiaojue doesn't like them very much."

"So that's how it is." Jin Miaomiao reached out and picked up a golden teacup, and took a closer look, "Tsk tsk tsk, it is indeed too extravagant. But why did these things appear in Xue's house? After the mother passed away, Her legacy should be..."

"Wudinghou's mansion is deeply favored by the emperor. The only daughter died of illness in the palace. The elders of the Xue family want to talk about their daughter's things to comfort their missing daughter. The emperor will definitely agree. Besides, the death of the Xue family's mother is a confrontation between the forces of all parties. As a result, Uncle Huang still feels guilty towards her, even though the Xue family doesn't need her guilt, Uncle Huang still sent all her things back to Xue's family." Shen Cha put down the things in his hand, gently Sighing deeply, "It's really a lot of people who have paid a very high price for this situation."

"Don't put so much pressure on yourself. Eliminating this hidden danger is not only your responsibility, but also our responsibility. We need everyone to work together." Jin Miaomiao patted Shen Cha on the shoulder, "Right?"

"That's right." Shen Cha nodded lightly, and then opened a large box, which was full of neatly folded Chinese clothes, "This empress really has a lot of things!"

"Wow, this dress looks so good!" Jin Miaomiao came over and touched it carefully, "Don't tell me, the things in this palace are really different, look at the fabric, look at the embroidery Gong, tsk tsk, look at this, and look at us, we really seem special..." She curled her lips, "It doesn't look like someone from a wealthy family, does it?"

"Ms. Xue's family doesn't need to lead troops to fight, why do you want to dress like us?" Shen Cha chuckled, and wanted to put the robe back in his hand, but accidentally shook his hand and almost threw the robe on the ground On the ground, fortunately, she was quick to catch it. "so far so good!"

"Eh?" Jin Miaomiao, who had been looking at the robe in Shen Cha's hand, saw a handkerchief falling out of the clothes lightly, and she reached out to catch it, "This is..." She saw a faint spot on the handkerchief. handwriting, and waved to Shen Cha, "Xiao Cha, come and take a look, what is written on it?"

Shen Cha put the clothes away, and went to Jin Miaomiao to look at the handkerchief. The writing on it was really too shallow. She discerned it for a long time, her eyes were dazzled, and she could barely read a few words clearly.

"Empress Dowager...the Buddhist hall...underground..." She looked at Jin Miaomiao, "From this point of view, the Xue family empress found something underground in the Buddhist hall, which is why she was killed?"

"What exactly is it that made the Empress Dowager not hesitate to destroy the alliance with the Xue family and take the risk of doing something to the Xue family's empress?" Jin Miaomiao rubbed her chin, "Have you touched her reverse scale?"

"I don't know." Shen Cha shook his head lightly, looked at the box, then at Xue Ruitian and Shen Haolin, and gestured towards Jin Miaomiao, "Do you dare?"

Jin Miaomiao didn't speak, but just gave Shen Cha a smirk, she ran out to find a clean cloth, and spread it on the ground.

"Let's get started!" She narrowed her eyes and looked at those beautiful costumes, "I want to see what secrets are hidden inside!"
