Madam Zhang did not say anything, but walked to the door quickly, opened the door and looked out, and confirmed that there was no one outside. She breathed a sigh of relief.

After closing the door, he walked back again, his face covered in cold sweat.

"The old slave knows where the key is locked, but you have to tell the old slave first, where did the key come from?"

Her hands trembled, her eyes filled with shock and horror.

Murong Hui looked at her calmly, told Madam Zhang about the old concubine giving her the key.

After hearing this, Madam Zhang looked confused, as if she was thinking about something. She was the madam who had lived in the palace for a long time. After a brief moment of surprise, she calmed down.

"Tell me where is the lock?"

Seeing her calm down, Murong Hui asked.

"Madam Huang, why don't you go in?"

Just as Madam Zhang was about to speak, she heard Qingyue's voice coming from outside the door, as if she had deliberately raised her tone.

Madam Zhang immediately shut up, hurriedly picked up the key, put it back into the box, and then hurriedly walked towards the door.

When she opened the door, she saw Madam Huang walking in with a plate of cut watermelon.

"Your Highness, this watermelon is good. I specially cut a plate for you to try."

Madam Huang didn't even look at Madam Zhang, but walked in with a smile on her face.

"Put it on the table."

Murong Hui glanced at Madam Huang, with a smile in her eyes.

Madam Huang immediately avoided her gaze, obviously feeling guilty.

After she put the fruit on the table, she turned around and walked out. As soon as she reached the door, she heard Murong Hui say coldly: "I was not allowed to say it out just now."

Madam Huang paused, then responded and walked out quickly.

After the door was closed, Murong Hui threw the book aside and complained in her heart that Madam Huang was not the time to come.

At this time, Qingyue walked in. She came to Murong Hui and obviously wanted to complain.

"How long has she been here?"

Murong Hui was angry just now and didn't have time to think too much. Now she remembered that she didn't know how much she heard.

"Madam Huang has been counting the warehouse before, and I was staring at her next to her. She had just walked here before a stick of incense. I think it's not long since."

Qingyue thought about it carefully, and then said seriously.

"That's good, who will watch at night?"

Listen to her

So Murong Hui asked in relief.

She also wanted to find some time to ask Madam Zhang where it was locked?

"It's Qingyan's vigil tonight."

Qingyue didn't even have to think about it this time, so she spoke.

"Since that's the case, you go and let Qingyan and Madam Zhang change it."

The key has been puzzled by her for a long time, and she is eager to know the location of the lock.

After hearing this, Qingyue responded and quietly left the room.

Murong Hui picked up a piece of watermelon and took a few bites, and couldn't help but turn to look at the small box.

She took out the key and placed it under the pillow before continuing to eat the watermelon.

It was only when it was dark that Murong Hui rubbed her slightly sore arms and walked towards the bedroom.

While she was taking a bath, Madam Zhang walked in and served Murong Hui to take a bath.

After taking a shower, Madam Zhang also served her to comb her hair, yawned, and said to the others: "You all go down."

After hearing his words, most of the palace ladies retreated respectfully, and only Madam Huang walked slowly at the end, as if she didn't want to leave.

Murong Hui ignored her. After they all left, she walked to the bed and sat down, looking up at Madam Zhang.

Madam Zhang looked confused. She first made sure that there must be no one outside the door, so she came to Murong Hui and whispered the origin of the key.

It turned out that this key did not come from Rongguo, but the key of a small country in the north.

Back then, this small country was destroyed by Rongguo, and in order to save his life, the royal family of this small country presented its princess to the emperor at that time.

This princess was the concubine who lived in Jieyi's palace later.

The emperor loved this concubine very much at that time, so he raised his hands and did not kill all the people in the small country.

The emperor at that time distributed a piece of land to the small country and let them live on that piece of land.

Therefore, this concubine can contact her family occasionally and live a peaceful life.

Now the key in Murong Hui's hand is to open the lock of a secret door of Jieyi Palace.

There are many things that the concubines love hidden in the secret door.

The emperor had previously agreed to this secret pattern, so few people knew about it. After the concubine died, the emperor would occasionally think of her and go to Jieyi Palace to go around, and the palace was not moved.

It was not until the emperor was seriously ill that he had no energy to take care of the palace, and the palace gradually became deserted

"Let's go and have a look tomorrow."

After hearing what she really said, Murong Hui was not surprised, and had guessed it long ago.

After hearing this, Madam Zhang nodded and didn't care much, because the place was abandoned, so it would be fine if they went there.

"Your Highness, let's have a break soon, and we will go to class tomorrow."

Seeing that it was getting late, Madam Zhang urged Murong Hui to rest.

Murong Hui didn't say anything, but took out the key from the box and put it quietly into the dark compartment on the bed. Only she knew about this dark compartment.

The next morning, Murong Hui got up early in the morning and went to study in the study. It was not until she came back in the evening that she went to look at the box.

Last night she specially put a small note in the box.

As long as someone has opened the box, the small note will fall out, and no one who opens the box will notice it.

Sure enough, when she entered the door, she saw a small note that had fallen on the bed, indicating that someone had opened the box.

She sneered in her heart, thinking in her heart who would open the box?

The first thing she thought of was Madam Huang, and then Qingyue.

Apart from the two of them, only she and Madam Zhang knew what was in the box?

There is no need for Madam Zhang to do this, so there are only two of them left.

She thought for a moment, but didn't ask much, assuming she didn't know about it.

After dinner, she asked Madam Zhang to accompany her for a walk.

Before leaving, she took the key away.

Madam Zhang naturally knew what Murong Hui meant, so she responded and followed her.

Murong Hui walked leisurely, not in a hurry to Jieyi Palace. She knew that the sky was getting darker, so she rushed towards Jieyi Palace.

Squeak...

The palace gate made a sour sound, and was pushed open by Madam Zhang.

She looked around and couldn't help but feel a little emotional in her heart. She hadn't been here for many years, and it was beyond recognition.

"Your Highness, come with the old slave."

However, she quickly adjusted her emotions, closed the palace gate, and asked Murong Hui to follow her into the palace.

When the two walked through the main hall and reached the door of the side hall on the right, Madam Zhang's body trembled a little.

She forced herself to calm down and pushed open the door of the side hall on the right.
