Chapter 368: Earthshaking, Manzhu’s disappearance

Although the side door is only a passage for servants to enter and exit, it is also heavily guarded. There are more than ten guards guarding this small side door.

At this time, the four eunuchs struggled to push the cart slowly toward the side door——

"Stop!" the guard guarding the door shouted with a cold face, "What are you doing?"

The four eunuchs carefully stopped the cart, and an older eunuch bowed his waist and said with a flattering look, "Master, these servants are from the dining room. We have ordered this bucket of food to be removed by the order of Eunuch Chai, the steward of the dining room."

Throw out all the rotten vegetables, don't pollute the palace grounds!"

"You guys! Take out all your badges!" the guard said with a stern face, completely ignoring the eunuch's words and looking like he was dealing with justice.

"Yes! Yes!" The eunuch nodded quickly and bowed, holding the badge on his belt in his hand, and handed it to the guard. The other eunuchs did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly showed their badges, as if they were afraid.

If it lights up too slowly, it will make you lose your head!

The guard carefully looked at the badges one by one, then said "Yeah!" and then said, "Open the bucket!"

Several eunuchs were slightly shocked, and secretly exchanged glances. They remained motionless, but the old eunuch was the first to react. He walked to the bucket angrily with a dark face, and made a heavy "thud" sound while holding the bucket.

The eunuch who held the bucket knocked on the head, "Why are you so stunned? Didn't you hear what Master Cha said? Why don't you open the lid of the bucket quickly!"

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" The eunuch holding the barrel didn't care about his head that was knocked dizzy, and hurriedly opened the lid of the barrel!

For a moment, a stench hit his face, and the guard quickly turned his head to the side. Within a moment, the disgusting smell spread, and even the other guards who were still guarding the side door couldn't help but frown.

brow!

The guard held his breath and used his sword to pry open the vegetable leaves that were so rotten that they almost turned into water. What was revealed was some food that had gone rancid. There seemed to be a few white streaks in the middle of the food.

The maggots are squirming and writhing,

The veins on the guard's forehead had already popped out. It seemed that he was disgusted to the extreme and could bear it to the extreme. Seeing this, the guard took a few steps back and said impatiently, "Okay! Okay! Close it quickly."

Come on! Cover it quickly!"

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" the old eunuch answered while helping the other eunuch to cover the barrel tightly, but the disgusting sour smell that filled the air could not be dissipated for a long time...

"Okay, you can go out!" The guard said coldly after he had regained his breath, and then stood on his post like a wooden stake!

Several eunuchs who received the notice quickly worked together to push the barrel, passed through the heavily guarded side door, and disappeared from everyone's sight...

No one saw it. In a secluded deep alley outside Fucheng Palace, several eunuchs looked around vigilantly to make sure no one was around. Then they quickly unloaded the big wooden barrel from the cart and followed it.

With a dull "bang" sound, the big wooden barrel was placed on the ground.

The old eunuch suddenly looked nervous. He carefully checked the barrel and saw that there was nothing wrong with it. Then he felt relieved. He had a dark face and shouted in a low voice, "You two, please be gentle. If

If we hurt her, even if we have ten heads, we still won’t be able to chop her off!”

By the way, isn't this just a rancid bucket? Does he need to be so nervous? But the strange thing is that the other eunuchs were so frightened by the old eunuch's words that their faces turned pale and their bodies shook violently.

He said quietly, "Yes." The movements of his hands that followed were much more careful and gentle.

But they saw them carefully putting the big barrel on the ground. For a moment, the stench filled the sky, but they didn't seem to feel it. They didn't even frown. But they saw the older eunuch carefully placing the barrel on the barrel.

Searching, are you looking for something? Suddenly, as if he saw something, his eyes lit up, and he tapped an inconspicuous part of the barrel a few times rhythmically, "Dong dong dong, dong dong."

With a "creak" sound, the lower half of the big wooden barrel was automatically separated from the upper half. The two eunuchs carefully lifted the upper half away and threw it aside. Several other eunuchs looked into the lower half of the barrel.

After taking a quick look, I found that the beautiful lady in the bucket was already unconscious. Several eunuchs were smiling coquettishly, with a rather proud look on their faces...

It turned out that the vat was divided into two parts: the upper part and the lower part. The sour water in the upper part was hidden from the guards' inspection, while the lower part was a clean secret compartment. Several eunuchs carried the half-part of the bucket that was covered by a big black cloth and disappeared.

In the deep alley...

In Fuchengzhong, in a corner behind the rockery, several black figures all dressed in black gathered together, looking a bit nervous. They talked in low voices——

"Where is the empress? Why did she disappear in the blink of an eye?"

"What! It's gone! How is it possible! We brothers have been guarding here all the time! We didn't even blink our eyes, how could the empress disappear!"

"Yes! Just now, the queen was still squatting in that flower bush. There was no cover there. We didn't dare to get too close. The master has ordered that the queen cannot be seen, for fear of scaring her, so we are far away here.

Watch from a distance."

"Why are you blabbering? Why don't you go look for her! If you can't find the princess, let's use our heads to apologize to the master!"

"Yes!" "Yes!" "Yes!"

After a while, several heads came together again, but this time everyone's expressions were solemn——

"We have already dug through Fucheng Palace, and we only need to dig three feet into the ground! But...hey!"

"Everyone, don't panic! You were the closest to the empress at that time. Think carefully, did anyone get close to the empress at that time?"

"...Ah! When you asked, I remembered that there were actually a few eunuchs pushing a wooden barrel and passing by! But they were just passing by and didn't stop in the middle. I really couldn't see anything strange!

Ah! What happened! Could it be that they...they..."

The expressions of several dark shadows darkened, and they secretly screamed: "It's not good!"

"Did you see where they went?"

"See clearly, we're going to Xianmoyuan!"

"No! There is a side door behind Xianmo Courtyard that can lead to Fucheng Palace!"

As soon as the voice finished, several well-trained black shadows leaped towards the northeast in unison...

Although their tracking ability was excellent, it was a pity that it was too late. All they could find were the half-cut barrel in the deep alley and the leftovers and rotten leaves in the barrel...
