At the moment, she didn't bother to think about what was strange about this sentence. She just looked at Madam Su and asked, "Then, does Emperor Gao know about this?"

Madam Su's face looked even more embarrassed.

But she struggled for a long time and finally said, "The thoughts of Emperor Gao, those who are slaves, dare not easily speculate."

“…”

"But, although the old master of my servant was as noble as the Empress, he was the head of all the concubines in the harem, he never enjoyed the favor of His Majesty the Emperor as much as the Empress."

“…”

"She even-"

Speaking of this, she hesitated for a moment, and Nan Yan asked, "What even?"

Madam Su whispered: "The Gao Emperor almost never stepped into her palace."

"oh?"

When Nanyan heard this, a light flashed in his eyes.

At this moment, a voice sounded outside. Ruoshui knocked on the door and walked in and said, "Empress, Master Shangshan has sent some food."

Nan Yan said: "I'd better wait for the emperor to come back before using it together."

Ruoshui said: "It was sent by the emperor. It seemed that the emperor had to discuss some things with Master Shang Shan and the others. He could not come back for the time being, for fear that the empress would be hungry, so he delivered it first."

"oh……"

Nan Yan heard this and nodded: "Let them send it in."

The little Taoist boy named Yun Tong ran out very diligently, took the food box from the person who came and brought it in. Seeing that he was so diligent, Nan Yan smiled, and Madam Su had already stepped aside and said softly, "Then I will not disturb the Empress's meal."

Nanyan glanced at her.

She also knew that she could not squeeze out more from Madam Su, so she said, "You go down."

"I'll leave."

After saying that, he turned around and walked out.

Nanyan looked at her back for a while and when she turned around, Yun Tong had already put the dishes on the table with Ruoshui. Although they were all vegetarian dishes, they were also exquisite and delicious. While Nanyan ate, she asked Yun Tong: "Who can row a boat here?"

Yun Tong looked at her with wide eyes: "Where are the Empress going?"

Nanyan said: "I don't go far away, just go to the back mountain."

"That back mountain?"

Nanyan knew as soon as he heard this, he must have known the back mountain where Emperor Gao placed the tomb, so he nodded and Yun Tong said, "I can't row a boat in the distance, but I can only go to the back mountain and row a raft."

"Is that true?"

Nan Yan smiled and looked at his thin arms. Yun Tong immediately said, "Don't underestimate me, I can move even if there are two more people."

Nan Yan thought about it and said that it was not a big deal anyway, so there was no need to bring so many people there.

So he said, "Okay. Ruoshui, take him with you, let's go down to have a meal first. After dinner, let's go to the back mountain together."

Ruoshuidao: "Yes."

So the two of them went down. After lunch, Nanyan sat down and drank tea for a while, called them to take some incense and candles and go out from the back door of the imperial tomb. He walked down the mountain along a lower road and walked to the familiar ferry. There was a small bamboo raft parked there. Yun Tong was really clever. After going up, he helped them sit firmly, then picked up the bamboo pole and took a big stone at the ferry. The small bamboo raft swayed to the center of the lake.

Nan Yan smiled and said, "You are really capable."

Yun Tong raised his chin: "Often the master doesn't need this, I just run around with me."

After hearing this, Nan Yan looked at him with a smile.

As soon as you hear this, you will know that you must be naughty and secretly paddling a bamboo raft to go out to play. Yun Tong knew that he had made a mistake when he said this. He immediately closed his mouth and seemed to have a thread sewn, so he didn't dare to say more.

Nan Yan and Ruoshui looked at each other and smiled, and said nothing more, only looking at the scenery on both sides.

The last time she came, this Xingluo Lake brought her a great psychological shadow, especially when the boat was overturned by Guanyin and was attacked by the water bandits from Tiangang Lianwu, and she almost buried herself at the bottom of the lake. This time, it was already autumn. She didn't encounter Guanyin's bombing, and the water bandits from Tiangang Lianwu were also cleaned up.

This seemingly mysterious water area turned out to be just a quiet and beautiful scenery.

In the future, such places will become more and more urban.

Thinking of this, Nanyan couldn't help but reach out to soak in the green lake. The cool feeling made people feel refreshed.

Although Yun Tong was agile, he was young and not as strong as an adult. He still took a short distance for a long time. When he finally arrived at the island and looked back, the water surface behind him began to fog.

Ruoshui said: "Empress, let's go back early after we get in the incense."

Nan Yan smiled and said, "Are you scared?"

"Here, after all, this was-"

"Don't worry."

Nanyan walked up the wet bluestone mountain road, and said, "The entire Xingluo Lake has been taken down by the imperial court, so it is very safe here."

As she said that, she looked around again.

He smiled and said, "Even if there are really one or two fish that miss the net, then now, they should be hiding from us."

Ruoshui nodded after hearing this.

The group quickly climbed to the top of the mountain.

It was not too late at this time, and the fog had not yet evaporated. As soon as I went up the mountain, Ruoshui saw the stele of erected stone tablets.

She had never been here with Nan Yan in the past, but after she arrived at the Imperial Mausoleum Temple, she heard about it. However, when she saw the stone tablets of these once powerful figures, she was still shocked and she didn't dare to show off.

Nanyan said: "You follow me and don't walk around."

"yes."

Nanyan led her to a few stone tablets first.

Although there were not many people here, they were cleaned up. However, there was a lot of rain in the past two days, and new green grass grew beside some stone tablets. Yun Tong went over and pulled it aside skillfully. Ruoshui and Nanyan put out all the incense, candles and paper money they brought in the basket and lit it.

Nanyan bowed and bowed to the ancestors of the Zhu family one by one, praying, hoping that they could bless Zhu Feng’s life to be smooth and stable, and there would be no more twists and turns.

After praying, Nan Yan said, "You two clean up here."

"Where are you?"

"I go over there and take a look."

Ruoshui looked up at the direction she pointed. There was a small stone tablet in the distance, and said, "My lady, don't go far, it will be foggy in a while."

Nanyan nodded and turned around and walked over there.

That stone tablet was the stone tablet of Qin Xixi when Nanyan came before.

After so many years, the stele has not changed after being washed by wind and rain, and the handwriting on it is very clear. Nanyan lit three incense sticks and was about to clean up, but he found that the surroundings of the stele were very neat and there was no weed.
