Cold Palace’s Abandoned Consort

He looked into my eyes and said, "I am afraid that the size on the drawing of the old lady can hold thousands of bookshelves."

"what?!"

I looked at him in shock. Is the size of the machine frame on the mother's drawing a size that can hold thousands of bookshelves? How big is that? I'm afraid it must be as big as a mountain?

I took a sigh of cold air: "How is that possible?"

Charin looked at me and said seriously: "I was very surprised when I saw the drawing, but it is true."

I frowned, remembering that when I saw the Bookstore Pavilion a while ago, I was still shocked by the majestic momentum, but who would have thought that the hidden circle inside was so big that it was really big, that What kind of thing must it be? Why does my mother have such a drawing?

I asked, "So, wasn't the original book on that drawing?"

Charin nodded and said, "Yes, we just reduced the size according to the design on the drawing, then made some modifications, and then constructed the library, the real thing on that drawing-at least I can't from."

My brows frowned: "Did anyone make it?"

Charin stared at me diligently, after a while, said, "I don't know."

"..."

"In fact, I have also asked the old lady, but the old lady did not give me a clear answer, but I thought-if there is such a drawing, someone must want to do something to draw it Since it has been drawn, and even the library can be built, then that kind of thing should have been ... "

He didn't finish his words. I wanted to come, and I didn't want to say so much, but I also understood what he meant.

Indeed, the drawings have been drawn, and I am afraid that the thing has already been made.

just--

I looked out subconsciously. This small Taoist temple is only the size of a library, and it is not even as tall as it can accommodate hundreds of bookshelves. What does it look like? If there is such a large machine on the ground, it is a huge monster like a mountain. It is impossible for no one to know, and it is impossible for no news to come out.

But I really haven't heard of anything like this.

Is that thing not made, or is it hidden somewhere we can't see?

What did my mother do with such a drawing?

Thinking of this, I looked up and looked at Charin again, and said, "Shibo, did her mother draw her own drawing? What on earth did she want to do?"

Charin didn't answer me immediately, but frowned and thought, probably remembering.

However, it was so many years ago, and it is not easy to remember it anymore. Moreover, he was injured, and he was already in a distressed mood. I saw that he had a nearly painful expression and his eyebrows were twisted into a frown. Then he said, "Forget about Shibo, you're in bad health now. If you can't remember, don't think about it. Wait until you are better."

Instead of giving up, Charin frowned a bit more, and said, "Miss."

"Ok?"

"I seem to remember that Madam once said about the drawing."

As soon as I heard it, I immediately became nervous and looked at him: "What did she say?"

"She said--" He hesitated a moment, and said, "The drawing seems to be her, secretly taken from somewhere."

"what?!"

At this moment, I was really stunned, staring at him with wide eyes.

Take it out secretly.

Isn't that-steal?

How could my mother steal?

Seeing my expression of disbelief, Charin said: "It really surprised me because I saw the drawing at that time, it was so precise and the size was definitely not an ordinary object, so I asked her . She didn't say what the drawing was originally designed for, although I felt that Madam didn't seem to know exactly what was on the drawing before showing it to me, but when I told her in general After a while, she seemed to know, but she didn't tell me anything, and I didn't dare to ask more. Just asking about the origin of the drawings, she said-it was secretly taken from somewhere. "

"..."

Isn't that stealing?

I could n’t say anything for a while. My mother, as the eldest wife of the Nishikawa family, always looked calm and quiet. She appeared in front of everyone, and even impressed many people with grace and generosity. Such a person would actually Steal something.

Steal something!

Although I do n’t think everyone should be a saint, at least not a thief, especially her. She is my faith. The existence of idols like gods and Buddhas, the perfect person in my mind actually steals things. This makes me feel that something in my heart has been completely subverted, which is not only difficult to accept, but also a little disturbed.

Charin looked at me with a complex expression on his face, and seemed to understand my mood. He said, "Miss, the lady is not a saint, neither is a **** or a god. I will inevitably make a roar of a lion."

I glanced at him and smiled a little awkwardly.

However, when I calmed down again, a doubt came to my mind—from where did it come out secretly?

My mother has been to many places in her life, but the place where she can steal things is definitely not an ordinary place.

If the drawing was really obtained by her five methods of stealing, it must be of extraordinary significance. She must do so, otherwise, it would be very difficult for me to accept that my mother used to This thing happened.

Where did you steal it?

I frown and think hard, just then, a word flashed in my mind—

"It's not a big deal, it's just a few small things-theft, murder."

That was a few days ago, I asked Ye Yunshuang, and after entering the palace, I checked what happened that year and found out what she said. When I heard the last two words, I was scared. I asked the situation and asked the old man. The past was killed, but I ignored the two words in front of her.

Theft.

In the palace, was stolen!

And mother, she almost left the imperial city westbound at that time and started her journey. If a theft really happened in the imperial city, it ’s not a big deal. Ye Yunshuang can still do things decades ago Check it out, the things that should be stolen are not small, and there will be no trace.

Could it be that drawing?

Could it be said that the blueprint in the mother's hand was taken from the imperial city? !!

Charin watched the expression on my face change several times in an instant, and said softly, "Miss, do you think of it?"

"..."

I glanced at him, and it seemed that he should have no knowledge of anything other than that on the drawing. It would be useless to tell him now. Besides, it was just my own guess, and he just shook his head. He said, "It's nothing. By the way, Shibo, since you've seen that drawing, and you built the library based on that drawing, can you probably guess, what exactly was that drawing to do? ? "

Charin thought for a while and said, "Miss, this kind of thing is not the same as an ordinary house. The house is drawn on a drawing to create what it looks like. But it ’s like a person. The internal organs are complete, but everything looks like the skin on the outside, it depends on the person who paints the skin. "

"..."

"I only know that if the machine is made and painted with a layer of skin, it will be bigger than the mountain behind us."

"..."

"Moreover, it costs a lot of money, even if the wealth is like a Yan family, it is only possible to dump all the properties."

After hearing this, I didn't think about anything else, but I may be more sure of my own guess.

Even the Yan family in a rich and powerful country must dump all their properties to build such a huge machine, including the "painted skin" on the outside. Maybe, only the court can really make it, or want to make it. Stuff, the mother stole the drawing from the palace, maybe it has a trace.

However, if such a huge machine is to be implemented by the court, it will not be completely obscured. Ye Yunshuang can detect even the theft of this drawing that year. It is impossible to build such a large thing. .

Is it not repaired yet?

It's a pity that Charin couldn't tell from the drawings what the machine was like after it was built. Otherwise, we could at least look around, and now, it's clueless.

Just when I was a little frustrated and sighed, Charin suddenly said, "Yes, Miss, when I woke up just now, Chabixing told me that the library has collapsed?"

I said, "Yes."

"Can you tell me more about it?"

"of course can."

Because it's not too late, maybe Pei Yuanzhang heard that Charin would wake up after a while, so I try to keep it short and concise, but I told him everything that happened that day, and I said: "Fortunately, the subtlety of the machine, the fine sand in it suddenly poured out, only saved our lives."

After I finished speaking, Charin frowned: "Well ..."

I looked at his expression and said softly, "What happened to Shibo? Is there anything wrong?"

Charin thought for a while and said, "Miss, you are in a hurry to start the machine and release the fine sand inside it. There is nothing wrong with it. But I remember when I was looking at the drawing and studying how well the machine was working. , There seems to be a special trick inside. "

"Oh? What special trick?"

He said: "That is, the machine actually has a key to turn it on, and every time it is started, some fine sand will flow out. According to the capacity of the accumulated fine sand, it is probably one in two."
