As soon as Fu Yao turned around, she saw Nanny Zhang looking at her lovingly.

She tilted her head and called softly: "Nurse?"

When the crisp voice came, Zhang Nanny immediately came back to her senses: "It's the old slave who was rude."

Fu Yao said: "It's okay, I want to... go out and have a look."

Fu Yao just saw that there is another palace that needs to be repaired in the account book just now, and it needs too much silver. Before that, Li Wei was still saying that the situation in the disaster area is still unknown, and there are many places that need money.

She wanted to go and have a look. If the palace is not very necessary and the areas that need to be repaired are not important, she can put it aside first.

Fu Yao led Nanny Zhang and Xinliu out of Fengluan Palace, walked around the Imperial Garden, and then went to a relatively remote palace at the back, where only an elderly eunuch was guarding.

When Fu Yao brought people over, the old eunuch was leaning against the pillar to take a nap, and Nanny Zhang coughed, and the old lady woke up jolted when she heard the sound, and looked at Fu Yao and his party with confused eyes.

"Quickly pay respects to the empress." Xinliu reminded.

The old eunuch quickly knelt down and saluted: "I pay my respects to the empress, please forgive me!"

"stand up."

After Fu Yao finished speaking, she walked around the old eunuch and went into the palace. Nanny Zhang signaled the old eunuch to follow and entered the palace gate. Fu Yao looked up and looked around.

This palace is indeed very old and looks like it needs to be repaired, but the strange thing is that this palace is not far from the Imperial Garden, even if no one lives there for the time being, how could it be so dilapidated?

Fu Yao looked sideways at Nanny Zhang, and Nanny Zhang immediately understood, and asked the old eunuch next to her, "Are you the only one guarding this palace?"

The old eunuch hurriedly said: "No one has lived in this palace for a long time. The people who originally guarded here have been transferred to other places, so I am the only one guarding here."

Nanny Zhang asked again: "Where does this palace need to be repaired? Are people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs inspecting it?"

"One part of the apse has collapsed."

Hearing what the old eunuch said, Nanny Zhang immediately looked at Fu Yao.

Fu Yao nodded and motioned for the old eunuch to lead the way to the apse.

Nanny Zhang wanted to stop her: "Mother, this palace is very dilapidated, let's go and have a look, let Xinliu accompany you and wait here for a while. I don't know what's going on in the future. It's better if you get hurt. Woolen cloth?"

Fu Yao shook her head, and went straight to the back, Zhang Nanny had no choice but to tell Xin Liu to follow quickly, and the old eunuch led the way.

A few people soon saw the place where the apse collapsed. It was a beam that broke for some reason, so this piece collapsed. Fortunately, the surrounding pillars were still intact, so the collapsed place Not very wide.

When Nanny Zhang was about to tell Fu Yao to go back, she turned around and saw that Fu Yao had already passed by a wall.

"Miss!"

Nanny Zhang quickly followed: "How can you walk around in this place? Let's go back quickly."

"Mammy."

Fu Yao yelled and stomped on the floor again.

Nanny Zhang looked puzzled: "Ma'am, you are..."

Fu Yao squatted down and knocked again, and Nanny Zhang squatted down, and heard that the sound from the floor next to the wall was hollow, and it was obvious that the sound was made when the floor below was empty. Changed, looked up at Fu Yao in disbelief.

Fu Yao shook her head, signaled Nanny Zhang not to speak, then got up as if nothing had happened, and was about to leave.

The old eunuch looked confused by the side, and when he came out, he wanted to speak but didn't know how to ask, Madam Zhang said: "The Empress just came here on a whim to take a look, don't be nervous, it's nothing to do with you, you Just keep it here."

Nanny Zhang said, seeing the old eunuch here alone, not in a good mood, she took out a little silver and gave it to him.

"You take good care of yourself and do your part well, the empress will not treat you badly."

"Eh!"

The old eunuch responded excitedly, held the silver and watched Fu Yao and his party go out, and followed a few steps excitedly.

Coming out of the dilapidated palace, Fu Yao immediately said to Nanny Zhang: "Look for someone, take the floor... apart, and check."

After a pause, Fu Yao said again: "No, Zhang Yang."

After returning to Fengluan Palace, Zhang Nanny quickly found two trustworthy young eunuchs in Fengluan Palace to go back to the dilapidated palace. After two hours, Zhang Nanny came back with the news.

"Your Majesty, there was originally a secret passage leading to the outside of the palace. I don't know if it is suitable for construction, and there is also a problem with the broken beam."

"what is the problem?"

"The broken marks on the beam are very new. It doesn't look like it was broken a little bit after a long time. It's more like someone has tampered with it. It's too coincidental to take out the broken place. The empress looked at the empty one before. The place isn't actually the entrance, the real entrance is right under the broken beam."

When Nanny Zhang said this, Fu Yao quickly realized.

This secret passage was indeed from the past, but the breaking of the crossbeam seemed more like someone did it on purpose.

There should be another person who discovered this secret passage.

However, after discovering it, they did not report it, but deliberately hid it. There must be something strange in it.

"Let someone keep watch." Fu Yao calmly told Zhang Nanny: "If you find something, tell me right away."

Nanny Zhang took the order and ordered to go down.

When Li Wei came over at night, Fu Yao also told Li Wei about this matter, and Li Wei frowned: "Secret way?"

Fu Yao nodded: "Yes, I'm worried, it's the Queen Mother. Let people watch."

Seeing her serious appearance, Li Wei couldn't help laughing: "Response so fast?"

Fu Yao said seriously: "I'm afraid that someone will use it to harm people."

Hearing the words, Li Min also took it very seriously, the secret way in this palace can be said to be a way of life or death.

At this moment, Eunuch Hai suddenly came in and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Jing is ill."

Li Wei frowned slightly, full of impatience: "If you are sick, go to the imperial physician, will I see a doctor?"

"The imperial doctor has already passed away. I heard that it is very serious. Even the queen mother has gone to guard the concubine's palace." After finishing speaking, Eunuch Hai continued: "I heard that the concubine Jing was still very energetic when she went to the queen's palace this morning. It was just one afternoon, and suddenly he became so seriously ill."

After listening to Eunuch Hai's words, Fu Yao also felt strange in her heart. How can a good person be sick when he is sick?

"Would you like to see it?"

Fu Yao tugged at Li Mi's clothes.

But Li Wei didn't take it seriously: "Concubine Jing used to use tricks to change stone statues in the Empress Dowager's Palace, but now it's just a trick, don't worry about it, besides, I'm going to go with you, the Empress Dowager may think that we are going to kill people."

After finishing speaking, Li Wei led Fu Yao directly to the inner hall.
