Chapter 1598 The secret passage in the palace (2)
As time passed, all the furniture was covered with a thick layer of dust, making it look even more desolate and defeated.
This kind of place...is the final place of a majestic queen of a country?
Yun Luo couldn't help but think of Fengqi Palace today.
It is also the place where the queen lives. Ji Xiuling's Fengqi Palace can be said to be luxurious and noble in every aspect, which is in sharp contrast with this dilapidated palace.
Emperor Cangyun seems to have seen Yun Luo's thoughts.
"The late Queen did not like luxury during her lifetime. She was not from a high family background. She grew up among the people and yearned for the life among the people. After she became seriously ill, she did not want to live in the empty Fengqi Palace and wanted to move to a smaller place.
."
Emperor Cangyun glanced around: "She chose this palace herself, and she liked the layout inside. Unfortunately, she didn't live in it for long."
"So that's it." Yun Luo nodded.
No wonder Emperor Cangyun had such a strange expression on his face when he first came in.
So that’s what happened.
However, does the late Queen’s death place have anything to do with the trouble they are currently encountering?
"Before her death, the late Queen always wanted to leave the palace. I also promised her that I would accompany her out of the palace when I have time to see the folk life, which can be regarded as fulfilling her last wish."
Emperor Cangyun smiled bitterly and said: "Unfortunately, I didn't expect that her condition would suddenly worsen. Before I could make arrangements, she was already..."
The late Queen passed away suddenly.
Yun Luo has also heard of this matter.
But, to be precise, it’s not too sudden.
Because the late empress had been lingering on the hospital bed for a long time before she passed away. It is said that the root cause of the disease was left when she gave birth to Jun Wuchen. After that, her health became worse and worse. Even if she had good elixirs hanging on her, she would lie on the hospital bed for a whole day.
After a year of illness, he finally died of illness.
Yun Luo didn't interrupt and listened quietly.
After all, more than twenty years have passed since this incident. No matter how sad I was at the beginning, the pain gradually faded away with the wash of time.
In the end, what remained in Emperor Cangyun's heart might just be a hint of regret and guilt.
Regrettably, she failed to do what she promised, and her guilt made the late queen die with regrets.
Because of this, after the late empress passed away, Emperor Cangyun ordered the palace to be sealed up in order to avoid being hurt. The various decorations inside remained unchanged from when the late empress passed away.<
/p>
The palace servants only come in once every other year, and they only sweep away the dust and clean the weeds in the courtyard, and do not dare to disturb anything inside.
Emperor Cangyun suddenly changed the topic: "However, no one in the palace knows that in this palace, there is actually a secret passage leading directly to the outside of the palace, which was secretly arranged by me back then."
"Secret passage?" Yun Luo couldn't help but exclaimed.
There is a secret passage here?! This is something Yun Luo never expected.
"Actually, it's also for the first queen."
Emperor Cangyun smiled helplessly, "Her condition was too serious at that time and she couldn't get out of bed at all. If she left from the main entrance of the palace, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to bear the bumps on the way. I promised to accompany her out of the palace incognito. If the civil and military officials knew about it,
She would also strongly object, as there were too many involved. I couldn't bear to deal with these things, so I simply asked someone to open a secret passage where she lived, and just waited for a suitable opportunity to take her out of the palace alone for a walk.
”
The secret passage was indeed dug. Emperor Cangyun didn't want to draw attention to it, so he kept the news very secret.
However, the late Queen could not wait until the day when her wish was fulfilled.
