Wei Xiaobao's clothes had been hanging on his body to begin with, but after all this, they were slowly falling off. Jianning pulled the clothes off of Wei Xiaobao's body and suddenly felt something inside. She took it out and threw it at Wei Xiaobao's face, cursing,"You bastard, you're so indecent. You're carrying this thing on you!”As she spoke, she got down from Wei Xiaobao, her face slightly red.
Wei Xiaobao picked up the thing on his face and saw that it was the Chungong Tu with the secret martial arts manual. The contents were so explicit that even someone as bold as Jianning felt shy looking at them. Suddenly, a rustling sound came from the inner room. He had not dared to let Jianning into the inner room. Fortunately, Hai Dafu's room was a suite. Su Ma was still on the bed in the inner room while Jian Ning was dragged outside.
Suddenly, he was attracted by the silk in his hand. The silk had been arranged one by one and then sewn together at the corners. At this moment, a part of the sewn corner was torn off by Jianning, and it was scattered all over the place.
Wei Xiaobao bent down to collect the pictures, but he suddenly realized that the pictures on the silk seemed a little strange. Ignoring Jianning's tugging, he put the drawings on the table and pieced them together. It turned out that after those human bodies were arranged in a coordinated manner, they actually formed a pattern!
Wei Xiaobao thought to himself,'This map not only gives me a good kung fu, but it's also a secret map.' If it was a treasure map, he would have made a huge profit. However, the curves of the figures were a little rough and not very obvious. Wei Xiaobao stared at it for a long time, but he felt that the place was very familiar, but he could not figure out what it was.
"Little Guizi, why are you so serious? Why do you keep staring at that thing?”Jianning said impatiently. She glanced at the map on the table and said in surprise,"This looks like a palace!"
Hearing her say this, Wei Xiaobao took a closer look. The outline did look like the Forbidden City. It was only because he had placed it in the wrong direction that he did not notice it. Wei Xiaobao thought to himself. What did those thin lines represent? Thinking of this, he found a vinegar bottle and poured the vinegar on it. Moments later, the internal strength lines on the pictures appeared. Wei Xiaobao looked closely and saw that the threads were connected to form a complete line.
"Could it be that there is a tunnel under the Forbidden City?”Wei Xiaobao thought to himself, carefully identifying the direction of the thin lines. One of the thin lines probably extended from the west gate to a very long distance. "Could this be the exit of the tunnel that leads to the outside of the palace?”
"Aiya!" Wei Xiaobao suddenly felt a sharp pain in his ear and cried out. He turned around and saw Jian Ning glaring at him angrily.
"Hey, why are you staring at that thing so closely? You're ignoring me when I'm talking to you!”Jianning was furious.
" Hehe," Wei Xiaobao quickly put away the picture." If I don't study hard, how can I make you more comfortable in bed?"”
Jianning didn't know the meaning of these things until he was unintentionally educated by someone today. He didn't dare to be as bold as before and only said with a blush,"Why can't you be serious all day?”
"Why is our Ning so shy today?" he asked, laughing.”
" Humph." Jianning glared at him." Today, I went to see Sister Hershery. I told her that she was bored, so I told her about the 'game' we played to relieve her boredom. Who knew…Who knew that Sister Hershery would tell me…Forget it, I won't say it anymore, it's so embarrassing!”
"Hershery!" Wei Xiaobao was shocked. He had not seen Hershery since that night. Other than feeling guilty, Hershery's behavior that night also made him a little afraid to see his nominal " niece." At this moment, Hershery actually knew about the matter between him and Jianning. Wouldn't his life be in her hands? Wei Xiaobao was sweating profusely as he thought about how to solve this problem.
Suddenly, there was a ruckus outside. Wei Xiaobao thought he had been exposed and wanted to run, but was stopped by Jian Ning. He turned around and saw Jianning looking at him in confusion.""Why are you running?"
"I'd like to see what's going on outside," said Wei Xiaobao with an awkward smile.”
"Then hurry up and come back!" Jianning warned.
Wei Xiaobao turned around and put the picture away, then quickly walked to the door. He was feeling uneasy at the moment, but he suddenly thought of what had happened between him and Hershery. If he told her, the one who would be the most harmed would be Hershery himself. If that was the case, what was he afraid of? Thinking of this, he felt relieved. Just as he reached the door, he smelled smoke. He opened the door and saw a patch of red in the distance, as if there was a fire somewhere.
He walked far away and saw a group of people carrying wooden basins and buckets to get water. He pulled a running eunuch and asked,""What happened?"
"Don't hold me back. The Cold Palace is on fire. Hurry up and put out the fire!”The eunuch said anxiously," Fortunately, the Cold Palace is far away from the other houses, so it hasn't caught fire elsewhere."”
"Is the Cold Palace on fire?" Wei Xiaobao knew something was wrong and asked,"Did anyone escape?"”
"Aiya, it's precisely because no one escaped that I asked you to help quickly!”
Wei Xiaobao let go of the eunuch. He knew that the women of the Cold Palace would not sleep at this time and would wait for him to go. Although they didn't know each other's names, Wei Xiaobao still had some feelings for them. Although the Cold Palace was tightly guarded, there was still a gate. The road inside was wide, so it was impossible that no one could escape from the fire. The only possibility was that these women were already dead before the fire.
Who would do that? The only person who would do that was Kang Xi. Could it be that Kang Xi didn't take the words he had deliberately said today to heart? Wei Xiaobao knew very well that he and Kangxi were not as close as they were in the original novel, and he had not done anything that would make Kangxi reluctant to kill him. However, he did not have anyone he could use at the moment. Li Manru and the group of orphans could only be a burden, so he did things carefully. Today, he had schemed to get Kang Xi to agree to open a customs office, and he did not hesitate to reveal some of his secrets at the risk of being executed, just to obtain the ownership of that customs office.
But now it seemed that Kang Xi must have known about her relationship with those women from the Cold Palace. How could he not kill her to silence her for such a serious palace scandal? However, even if it was to silence him, why did he go through so much trouble to burn down the Cold Palace? Actually, as long as he secretly executed these women, there was no need to worry. However, he did not know that Kang Xi was currently reprimanding a few guards. It turned out that when the guards were executing those women, they saw the beautiful young woman's clothes were not neat, so it was inevitable that they would feel uneasy and accidentally knocked over the candle flame. It was the end of autumn, and the weather in Beijing was dry. In an instant, a fire broke out.
As for him, why didn't Kang Xi kill him? Wei Xiaobao looked at the red light in the distance and thought to himself, Was it because Kang Xi didn't want to leave his friend behind, so he killed those women to protect him, or was it like Su Ma said, that he was still useful?
Wei Xiaobao laughed at himself. No matter what Kang Xi's motives were, he would never let his life be controlled by others. From tomorrow onwards, he would leave the palace and go to a wider field to enjoy the charm of this era.
