She quickly lowered her head, turned around and went back.

There was also a eunuch named Wang who was cleaning the main hall of the temple. Bai Jiyue got close to him for a while and asked casually, "Why does that mute slave look so fierce? I accidentally walked to the backyard and he looked at me fiercely."

Wang the eunuch waved his hand and said, "You can't go to the backyard. I heard that there are only mute slaves guarding that place, and no one can go in."

"What's in the backyard? Is it for the emperor to live in?" Bai Jiyue asked innocently.

Wang the eunuch showed a mysterious expression: "Of course the backyard is for the emperor to live in!"

"Since it's for the emperor to live in, there should be more people to clean it. Can it be cleaned properly with only the mute slave? If the emperor comes and it's not well accommodated, wouldn't it be a sin?" Bai Jiyue pretended not to understand.

Wang the eunuch shrugged: "I don't know either. Anyway, the emperor always comes in casual clothes, so there's no such a big show."

Bai Jiyue's heart moved slightly, and she asked, "How often does the emperor come?"

Wang, the eunuch, looked up at the sky and probably calculated in his mind before saying, "Maybe. Sometimes he stays for ten days, sometimes for half a month. He always comes to stay for one or two nights, with only two guards."

"Oh. Your Majesty only comes at night?"

Wang Nei Shi looked around, then approached Bai Jiyue and said, "I'm just telling you. Actually, many people in the imperial mausoleum don't know that the emperor is coming. He usually comes in the evening, and when he comes, he goes straight to the backyard to stay for one night and leaves early the next morning."

After all, Eunuch Wang was the one who usually cleaned the temple, so he must know some inside information.

Bai Jiyue nodded as he listened: "It seems that the emperor wants to come here to calm down and doesn't want to be disturbed."

She patted Wang Nei Shi’s shoulder and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone.”

Wang the eunuch smiled and said, "I told you this because I see that you work hard and are an honest person."

He put down the broom in his hand and said, "I'm a little tired, can you help me sweep?"

Bai Jiyue smiled and responded crisply: "Sure, no problem!"

She happily did Wang Nei Shi's job, with a smile on her face but something in her mind.

According to Eunuch Wang, the time when the Human Emperor came was almost the same as the time interval mentioned by the spirit woman.

What's more, the mute slave never let anyone enter the backyard, not even the eunuchs who were cleaning the house. So, the only people who had the opportunity to enter the secret passage were the mute slave and the Human Emperor who came once every few days. This only made it more certain that the mute slave and the Human Emperor were the ones who imprisoned those women.

Of course, the mute slave might also come from outside to welcome someone else and sneak into the backyard, so it is not completely certain now that the master is the Human Emperor.

But, no matter what, that mute slave is definitely involved in this matter!

How could she get information from the mute slave without alerting the enemy?

At this moment, she actually missed Ming Yuan's "truth medicine". Why didn't she think of asking him for some for her when she returned to the capital?

By the evening, Bai Jiyue had finished cleaning and was about to go off duty for dinner, but before he left, the guards came to clear the area.

Wang the eunuch pulled her to the side and knelt down. He leaned close to her and whispered, "The emperor is here."

Perhaps because Bai Jiyue helped him do all the work, he now has a very good impression of Bai Jiyue and is willing to talk to her more.

Bai Jiyue quickly lowered his head to avoid being seen by the Emperor.

After a while, she felt a bright yellow figure walk in and everyone bowed to greet them.

The Human Emperor walked past in a hurry, not even giving them time to stand up, and it seemed that he was heading straight to the backyard.

Everyone knelt for a while before standing up and leaving the temple.

She went to have dinner with Wang the Eunuch. Wang the Eunuch was so helpful that he helped her calculate as they walked: "Count the days. It's been exactly ten days since the last time the emperor came. The emperor is so filial that he comes to stay with the ancestors for one night every ten days!"

Bai Jiyue sneered in his heart, should he stay with his ancestors for a night, or do beastly things?

After dinner, Bai Jiyue went back to his room early, using the excuse of being tired.

In order to further confirm who the two men who imprisoned the woman were, she felt it necessary to explore the backyard of the temple again at night.

If the Human Emperor and the Mute Slave are not in the room in the backyard, it means that they are the two beasts!

Bai Jiyue prepared all the night clothes, weapons, fire sticks and other things suitable for night exploration, and then lay down to sleep for a while.

When it was almost three o'clock in the morning, she put on her nightgown and quietly went out.

Because the Human Emperor has arrived, there are a few more guards at the temple tonight.

But this did not pose a problem for Bai Jiyue. She carefully avoided the guards and sneaked into the backyard of the temple.

The light in the room in the backyard was on, but there was no shadow on the window, which showed that no one was inside.

Bai Jiyue quietly sneaked under the window, opened it and looked inside. After making sure that there was no one inside, he bravely climbed in through the window.

There was a light on in the room and the door of the clean room was ajar. She pushed the door open carefully and walked in, only to see that there was no one in the clean room.

The painting hanging on the secret door was slightly crooked, so I guess the secret door had been moved.

From then on, she was certain that the two beasts must be the Mute Slave and the Human Emperor!

Unexpectedly, the Human Emperor is really a pervert!

It's just that he likes to watch that kind of thing, and it's understandable that he doesn't let those women get pregnant, but why does he let them get pregnant and then force them to have miscarriages at three months? What on earth does he want those adult fetuses for?

Also, wasn't Bai Shousheng killed because he discovered the secret of the Human Emperor?

You know, the imperial edict said that Bai Shousheng was beheaded on the spot for embezzlement, and they, his children, had never even seen his corpse.

The Human Emperor didn't even give them a chance to collect their bodies before hastily exiling them!

The more Bai Jiyue thought about it, the more suspicious he became, and he unknowingly stared at the secret door for a long time.

She was not awakened until she heard a slight sound from the secret door.

She hurried out of the bathroom and heard the secret door open with a click. She had no time to run out, so she lay down and rolled under the bed.

Then, the sound of footsteps rang in her ears, and then two pairs of boots appeared in her sight.

One pair is black cloth boots, and the other pair is exquisitely crafted leather boots.

"Someone's been here!" suddenly, a male voice said.

Bai Jiyue immediately recognized that this was the voice of the Human Emperor.

"Probably not." Another voice answered, low and gloomy, "No one dares to enter the backyard."

Bai Jiyue thought, it turns out that the mute slave is not really mute!

"The door of the purification room is open wider than before. Someone must have been here!" said the Human Emperor in a deep voice.

The mute slave's voice became noticeably nervous: "I'll go check right away!"

"Let's start by checking the house first!" said the Human Emperor.

Bai Jiyue held his breath.
