Farmer’s Wife Has Magic Skills

   Chapter 417 417. Prepare in advance

The woman looked at Lu Ziming sideways, but she didn't see anything, she looked away again, "Maybe it's because I've been waiting for you for too long, I'm desperate, by the way, have you come back to see her? She kept reading Wait until you come back to pick her up."

  Lu Ziming denied it, and said with a bit of sentimentality, "I haven't had time yet. I planned to visit her tomorrow, but I didn't expect her to commit suicide. If I knew it, I should have gone to see her earlier. After all, we grew up together."

  The woman was full of emotion, "Yes, we grew up together, but things have changed."

  Lu Ziming pointed out, "Things are not people, people's hearts have changed, but mine has never changed."

  The woman drank another glass of wine and became slightly tipsy. Has Lu Ziming's heart really not changed?

  The two chatted in the room for a long time...

Lu Ziming stretched out his hand to hold the woman's hand, "Ziyuan, I've always liked you, and I've been thinking about you all these years, I think you're going crazy, Ziyuan, I, I'm not married, I just hope that one day I can marry you." Come back to marry you, are you married?"

  Xin Ziyuan looked at Lu Ziming in a daze, "You, you like me?"

  Xin Ziyuan is the dowry maid of Concubine Xin. She did not follow Concubine Xin after she left the palace. Now she is Shang Yi who is in charge of clothes in the palace.

  Lu Ziming said affectionately, "Yes, I have always had you in my heart, Ziyuan, if you are not married, would you give me a chance?"

  Xin Ziyuan had a relationship with Lu Ziming, but it was very secretive. Later, because Mrs. Xin liked Lu Ziming, she gave up. She didn't expect that Lu Ziming would confess to her after many years.

  She asked joyfully but uncertainly, "You, you really like me?"

  Lu Ziming said solemnly, "Really, the most important thing I want to come back this time is to tell you my heart, Zi Yuan, if you are willing, I will take you back to Dongling with me when I go back."

  Xin Ziyuan's hands on her lap slowly tightened, and she couldn't help getting excited, "Ziming, I'm willing to go with you."

  Lu Ziming hugged Xin Ziyuan in his arms, showing affection, "Ziyuan, come with me to Dongling in a few days?"

  Xin Ziyuan was overjoyed, "Yes."

  After the preparations were made, Lu Ziming began to serve the main course, "Ziyuan, can you do me a favor before I leave?"

  Xin Ziyuan was sweet in her heart, and said softly, "Ziming, what's the matter, just tell me, I will help if I can."

   Lu Ziming tentatively said, "I want to enter the palace."

  Xin Ziyuan straightened her body, stared at Lu Ziming and asked, "What are you doing in the palace?"

  Lu Ziming patted Xin Ziyuan's shoulder lightly, and said softly, "It's not a big deal, don't be nervous."

  Xin Ziyuan relaxed slightly, and leaned on Lu Ziming again, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

  Lu Ziming leaned close to Xin Ziyuan's ear on purpose and said, "I want to go to Zangshu Pavilion, can you help me?"

  Xin Ziyuan couldn't figure it out, "The Zangshu Pavilion is full of books, what are you going to do in Zangshu Pavilion?"

   "What I want is a book." Lu Ziming promised, "As long as you help me enter the library, I will immediately marry you as a regular wife."

  Xin Ziyuan was very moved, she had already given up getting married, but now she had another chance, and she wanted to seize it.

  She thought to herself, it's just a book, so it shouldn't be a big deal.

   "What book are you looking for, can I find it for you?"

  Lu Ziming would not tell Xin Ziyuan such an important matter, "You can't find it, so I have to go there myself."

  Xin Ziyuan said sincerely, "It's too risky for you to enter the palace, I don't want anything to happen to you."

   It would be more risky to tell Xin Ziyuan the matter. This is the capital for him to turn around. Lu Ziming would never say, "With your help, everything will be fine."

   "Ziming, you won't hide anything from me, right?" Xin Ziyuan looked at Lu Ziming suspiciously. Is it really as simple as finding a book?

  Lu Ziming said, "Ziyuan, you think too much. We will be husband and wife in the future, and we will share weal and woe. What am I going to do without telling you?"

   Ziming is a smart person, and he would not do this rashly. Xin Ziyuan slowly dispelled her worries and asked, "Do you have any detailed plans?"

  Lu Ziming nodded, "Yes."

  …

  General's Mansion.

  Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong sat at the table to eat.

  Chu Qingzhi served Tang Jinghong some food, and asked casually, "Do you have any news about Lu Ziming?"

  Tang Jinghong looked up, "What's wrong?"

  Chu Qingzhi frowned and said, "I think it's strange that Lu Ziming hasn't moved since he got the map."

   Tang Jinghong said, "Lu Ziming is very cautious in his actions. He will definitely study the map when he gets it, but it has been several days, and he should have a next move."

   Also, Chu Qingzhi asked, "Jing Hong, have you told the emperor about the map?"

  Tang Jinghong shook his head, "No, one thing must be justified to the emperor, otherwise there will be problems."

  Hesitating for a moment, Chu Qingzhi tentatively said, "Jing Hong, why don't you tell the emperor about this before we go to see it?"

  She likes adventure and is very interested in this ancient family.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." It was an illusory matter, but naturally he was tight to Qing Zhi, Tang Jinghong agreed without hesitation, "In this case, let Lu Ziming take the remaining half of "Qizhilu" ?”

   "Well, just let him take it away for us to explore the way." Chu Qingzhi said, "But the map is fake, can he enter the palace?"

  Tang Jinghong said, "I turned the fake into real, but there are many traps there, and you can't get out if you come in, but if you let it go deliberately, there is no problem."

   "You are fast enough." Chu Qingzhi secretly praised Jing Hong's execution ability.

   Tang Jinghong smiled. He likes to prepare everything in advance. If it is not possible, he should prepare as soon as possible.

  …

  Imperial Palace.

  Xin Ziyuan has been in the palace for so long, so she naturally knows some methods.

  The next night, she specially sent some food to the two guards in the cold palace.

  The two guards knew her well, so they didn't have any precautions against her. They ate all the food she gave them, and then fell asleep.

  The secret passage leads from the outside of the palace to the dry well in the cold palace. After the guards were stunned, Xin Ziyuan hurriedly called Lu Ziming up from the well, and took Lu Ziming to change the eunuch's clothes.

   Few people passed by in the direction of the Zangshuge in the palace, and there were not many lights lit, it was pitch black, Lu Ziming lowered his head slightly, no one could recognize him.

  Xin Ziyuan was familiar with all the roads in the palace, and brought Lu Ziming to Zangshu Pavilion with ease.

  Cangshuge is dedicated to storing Daling's works and some important documents. There are so many books in it. Every year, the maids and eunuchs are arranged to dry the books for a month.

  The door of Zangshu Pavilion is locked. Only the emperor and some specific ministers can enter and exit freely here, and ordinary people are not allowed to approach.

  Lu Ziming looked around. He first flew up a tree, and then flew up to the second floor of Zangshu Pavilion from the tree.

  Xin Ziyuan found a shadow and hid herself, praying silently in her heart that everything will go well.
