To the northwest of the capital, a large area of foothills stretches westward for nearly a hundred miles.

Lu Jiao shook her head regretfully. They were all too short and did not meet her requirements for building a secret base.

However, more than a hundred miles to the southeast, there is a continuous stretch of high mountains.

Whether it is suitable or not, Lu Jiao needs to conduct an on-site inspection before deciding.

Lu Jiao first wrote down the landforms on the map, and then began to choose a house for his vest.

She did not plan to register her household registration in the villages around the capital because the population mobility was too small.

Moreover, there are many gossipy people in the village, and you can find out exactly who is in the village by asking any elderly person.

Whether it is the slack season or the busy season, there are always people watching people coming in and out.

Don't expect any privacy.

It is more appropriate to live in the outer city of Beijing - the population structure there is complex and the mobility is high.

Unlike in the village, it is not strange not to interact with neighbors.

Lu Jiao chose a house in Datongfang from among those confiscated by the government.

It is close to Anhua Gate in the south city, making it very convenient to leave the city.

However, this kind of house, which has been vacant for such a long time and has not been sold, will usually be occupied by some ruffians, who may even make the house a mess.

Fortunately, Lu Jiao didn't care, and she was not in a hurry to move in anyway.

If those people don't want to move, she doesn't mind doing it herself.

But these days, clans and families are the most important, and it is still too rare for only one person to be left in the family.

So Lu Jiao directly forged the household registration of his family.

The household registration and travel permit of Zitong County, Dongchuan Prefecture are still used. It is not too easy to copy homework.

After buying the house, we can change the "Family" ID to the Beijing household registration, and this ID can be considered a successful whitewash.

Lu Jiao rolled up the map and put it back where it was.

Once the new household registration is ready, she will exchange all the banknotes collected in the space for houses and shops. Even if she doesn't do business, she can be a landlady. Wouldn't life be so good!

Lu Jiao returned to the Prince's Mansion happily, and did not forget to report to Yan Yuanhao.

She came back a little late, and Yan Yuanhao just thought that she went out for a midnight snack and took some time, so he didn't think about it in other ways.

"I have done everything you asked me to do."

Yan Yuanhao sat behind the desk, frowning slightly, writing and drawing on the paper.

But he was still distracted and looked up at Lu Jiao: "No reply?"

Lu Jiao feels guilty!

After she finished speaking, the little girl's mind was full of thoughts about how to be a good wife and mother, and she had no idea about replying the letter.

She said seriously, "Ms. Gu said she knew about it."

Yan Yuanhao's hand paused for a moment. Thinking about Gu Yanning's character in his previous life, this made sense.

He didn't look back and missed the opportunity to catch the guilty expression on Lu Jiao's face.

Lu Jiao was about to go back to his room to sleep when he suddenly remembered the secret guard and said, "Oh, by the way, I heard that the leader of the secret guards in the Zhennan Palace is called Xie Wen, and he ranks ninth.

This name sounds familiar, I wonder if you have any impression of it. "

Xie Wen? Xing Jiu?

Yan Yuanhao almost broke the brush in his hand.

He gritted his teeth and asked, "Are you sure it's these two words?"

Lu Jiao raised his eyebrows. This secret guard leader was indeed a key figure!

She then repeated to Yan Yuanhao what Xiao Xu and Xie Jiu said in bed.

Now, Yan Yuanhao’s chubby face turned into a longevity peach.

"Why are you telling me this!"

"Let me recreate the scene for you! I'm sure I heard it correctly!"

cough cough-

With Lu Jiao's intervention, Yan Yuanhao was able to suppress his anger towards the Xie family of Lin'an in his previous life.

"Okay, I'll have someone investigate this matter. Thank you for your hard work!"

"Then I'm leaving. By the way, I'm going out these two days. Tell Chen Wen if you have anything."

"understood."

Over the next two days, the emperor became more and more frightened as he investigated in the palace.

He didn't expect that there were so many spies from the previous dynasty in the palace.

Batches of palace maids and eunuchs were sent to the Ministry of Punishment.

Regardless of whether they could survive the torture of the Ministry of Punishment, they could not stay in the palace any longer.

Luo Shumin also received a message that she was placed by Concubine Xian in a side room of the Qixiang Palace.

Apart from the clothes on her back, she didn't even have a change of clothes.

The two maids sent by Eunuch Quan couldn't stand it anymore, so they asked a familiar manager of the inner warehouse to get two sets of clothes for her in advance. Only then did she have clean clothes to wear.

However, due to the tight time schedule, the materials and workmanship were quite rough, not even as good as the clothes worn by ordinary palace maids.

But Luo Shumin was a person who had never seen the world. Although she could see that the new dress was not as good as the one given by Mrs. Xu, it was much better than the ones she usually wore.

She carried a small bag and followed two maids towards the palace.

"Mammy, how far do we have to go?"

Tianquan Lake occupies half of the imperial city. From the island in the middle of the lake, walk eastward, through half of the imperial garden, into the palace city, and then walk southeast for half a quarter of an hour to reach Qixiang Palace.

Luo Shumin usually stayed in the backyard, doing some needlework at most. She had never walked such a long distance.

The sun had risen, and it was like being in an oven upon the people.

By the time Luo Shumin finally followed the two maids to Qixiang Palace, the makeup on her face had become a mess and was completely unsightly.

"Hehe, look at her, she's not even as good as us palace maids!"

"Yes yes yes!"

"Keep your voice down, don't you know she's the new favorite?"

"A new favorite! Have you ever seen a new favorite dressed like this?"

When the palace maids who were cleaning the Qixiang Palace saw Luo Shumin come in, they all gathered together and gossiped.

The protagonist of this topic didn't hear their discussions at all. When he saw the golden tiles and red walls of Qixiang Palace, he didn't even bother to blink.

Is this the palace she will live in from now on?

At this moment, Luo Shumin completely forgot the uneasiness in her heart when she woke up in the palace on the lake island.

The current emperor is over 40 years old and can be Luo Shumin's father.

It was impossible to say that she had no disappointment in her heart.

But right now, it doesn’t seem that bad!

It's much better than that fat and big-eared prefect.

Luo Shumin didn't know that this was just the beginning of her miserable life.

The two maids originally wanted to take Luo Shumin to pay respects to Concubine Xian, but when they reached the main hall door, they were stopped by Concubine Xian's maid Cai Xin.

"Her Majesty the Consort is currently handling palace affairs and has no time to meet the newly appointed concubine.

Come with me, the Queen has arranged for the people to move to the side hall."

"Thank you, Sister Cai Xin!"

The two maids were just servants in Fangli Garden. They had never had the opportunity to speak closely to the senior palace maids around Concubine Xian, so naturally they spoke a lot of flattering words.

Cai Xin just smiled slightly and looked at Luo Shumin with a playful look.

Even a concubine like Shunpin, who was the head concubine of a palace, had to call herself "Miss Caixin" respectfully.

He is nothing like Luo Shumin, who is so ignorant that he can't even show courtesy when he sees me.

Cai Xin walked in front with a sneer on her lips.

The four of them walked further and further away. The two maids looked at each other secretly and made a decision together that they must not stay for a while.
