Ye Rongyao had a good sense of direction and quickly flew to the well.

Looking down from the wellhead, it was pitch black and there was nothing to see, but Ye Rongyao knew that there was water in the well.

If there was no water in this well, the situation at the bottom of the well would have been discovered long ago.

"Target Escape"

Ye Rongyao directly escaped from the ground and soon entered the well.

Ye Rongyao has "water attributes", and even in this water, he will not suffocate due to lack of oxygen.

When he arrived at this well, Ye Rongyao did not move the treasures first, but looked at the few corpses with only bones left.

In this well, more than a hundred years of erosion left the corpses of these palace maids with only bones.

"It's all a bunch of poor people."

Seeing these corpses, Ye Rongyao sighed in his heart.

In the feudal era, these palace maids in the palace were very cold. In a narrow sense, they were maids or slaves of the monarch and his family. In a broad sense, all women in the monarch's harem, including concubines, were considered palace maids.

Most of the early palace maids came from female slaves, female prisoners and criminal wives.

Since then, some of the palace maids of all dynasties have begun to be selected from the folk "beauty pageants" and "picking girls".

"Beauty Page" is like the imperial examination, with a set of strict rules.

Women who run for election must be good families, that is, non-medical, non-witch, non-merchant and labourers. The women of these families are called good children.

All dynasties have stipulated that palace maids are taken from good children.

In the early days, palace maids became concubines and palace maids who defeated the emperor through battles and defeated female prisoners.

After the Han Dynasty, the court sent a large number of personnel to select beautiful women from good families from the people's hometowns, with ages of 13 and under 20, and selected them into the palace.

Once a beauty is chosen as a palace maid, she will never be able to reunite with her family again, locked in the palace and isolated from the outside world.

Only a very small number of them are favored by the emperor can be promoted to concubines, and the vast majority of palace maids live alone in loneliness and desolation.

There was a poem in the Tang Dynasty: "As soon as you enter the deep palace, you will never see spring every year. You will talk about a leaf to send it to your lover."

From the first day they were elected to enter the palace, they were like being imprisoned and lost their personal freedom. They were not allowed to leave the palace for marriage until they were 25 or even 30 years old.

Those who leave the palace early due to illness, stupidity or other reasons must be checked by the eunuch in charge and heard the news before leaving the palace. In ancient times, women who were 25 years old and had not yet married, even normal marriage was difficult after they left the palace.

In order to prevent the palace maids from resisting, there are severe punishments in the palace.

The palace maids may be beaten and killed anytime and anywhere. Zhu Di, the concubine of the Ming Dynasty, died violently because she suspected that the palace maids were poisoned in the tea, and killed the palace maids at one time, and hundreds of eunuchs were killed.

It can be said that in the feudal era, palace maids were a group of very cold-hearted existences.

It was not until the demise of the Qing Dynasty that the system of palace maids and eunuchs was abolished.

"Since you have met, let's help you get buried!"

Ye Rongyao looked at the corpses and said.

Thinking of this, Ye Rongyao put all these corpses into his Qiankun Ring.

After doing all this, Ye Rongyao focused his attention on the dusty treasures on them.

There are not many things, and some are scattered.

Some are not treasures, but silver ingots, and some are very valuable things, such as agate, pearls, etc. As for how these things were in these wells, Ye Rongyao suspected that some of them should have been stolen by these palace maids.

After all, in this deep palace courtyard, some palace maids cannot bear this kind of pain, and some choose to jump into a well to commit suicide.

In ancient times, people liked to have funeral objects when they died. The more expensive it was, the better. In the thoughts of the ancients, these funeral objects could be used in the underworld.

It is very likely that these palace maids stole some of their master's treasures and jumped into the well and committed suicide after a short while.

Of course, these things were rewarded by the masters in the palace, and it is also possible.

These are just some speculations from Ye Rongyao.

“That’s…”

Ye Rongyao turned his attention to the thing that gave him strong strength.

"Emerald cabbage?"

Ye Rongyao is a cabbage made of pure white jade. The cabbage made of this jade is very realistic and vivid.

The white and flawless leaves appear to be playful and elegant here; each leaf is smooth, sparse and dense, and is bright and enveloping, as if it is wrapped in wealth. The posture of swaying in the wind is as charming as a fairy scattering flowers.

This is definitely the best jade cabbage written by royal craftsmen, and it is definitely a national treasure-level existence.

“It’s really beautiful?”

Ye Rongyao took the "Emerald Cabbage" in his hand and played with it.

It has to be said that the craftsmanship of the ancient royal craftsmen was really amazing. Ye Rongyao believes that the craftsmen today may not be able to make such a realistic "emerald cabbage".

"It's really like a real cabbage, and it's the best among cabbages."

Ye Rongyao cleaned the dust on this "Emerald Cabbage", which made this "Emerald Cabbage" even more realistic.

Although Ye Rongyao has "water attributes" and is like a fish in the water, no matter what, this feeling still doesn't make Ye Rongyao feel comfortable.

After putting this "emerald cabbage" into the Qiankun Ring, Ye Rongyao looked at the bottom of the well. There was nothing valuable anymore. Ye Rongyao just escaped from the bottom of the well.

Back at the ground of the Forbidden City, Ye Rongyao looked over the dark Forbidden City, and suddenly a few light spots caught Ye Rongyao's attention.

Ye Rongyao directly used the "wind attribute" to fly to the condensed place of these light spots, and watched with interest as these light spots condensed and formed over the Forbidden City.

At the beginning, it was like small energy points, and it was impossible to tell what it was. As time slowly progressed, these light points gradually condensed into the human body. It took more than two hours from the appearance of hair, the formation of the entire body, and to the solidification.

Ye Rongyao kept watching the formation of this team of palace maids in the air. After the entire body of these palace maids solidified and formed, Ye Rongyao could clearly see that this team of palace maids looked exactly the same as the team of palace maids he had met, with almost no difference.

After these palace maids solidified and formed, they fell on the ground of the Forbidden City and began to slowly move forward along the roads in the Forbidden City.

Ye Rongyao thought about it in the air and landed next to the group of palace maids. He followed them and walked forward for more than ten minutes. Ye Rongyao walked to the place where he had just met these palace maids.

It is obvious that these palace maids were still moving along the original route. The only difference is that the place where this group of palace maids finally disappeared was different. It seemed that they had not walked to the place where Ye Rongyao saw the pair of palace maids disappear for the first time, and they completely disappeared.

It is obvious that the energy body has been exhausted before it has reached its original position.

The energy consumption speed this time was much faster than when Ye Rongyao met these palace maids for the first time, especially as he went backwards, Ye Rongyao clearly felt that the consumption speed of these energy bodies was accelerating.

Ye Rongyao looked up at the sky. Although the sky was still very dark now, it was no longer dark, but could see something clearly.

The dawn light has begun to cover the Forbidden City, and the yin energy that had originally condensed into dark clouds above the Forbidden City has also dissipated.

This is the rise of the yang energy, which accelerates the dissipation of the yin energy, and also causes the energy dissipation of these palace maids composed of "energy bodies" to intensify. This is why they have dissipated before they even reached the position they were just now.

Ye Rongyao looked at the sky and then looked at the time on his watch. It was almost five o'clock in the morning.

After thinking about it, Ye Rongyao flew to the west.

There is a mountain called "Dingdu Peak" to the west of this capital. Climbing up high on this mountain allows you to see the entire capital.

The mountains around Dingdu Peak are winding, with steep ridges and ridges. The mountains are full of rocks and steep and high on the tops. They are known as "If you don't have to go to the capital, you will be in vain to the capital" and "the first peak to see the west of Beijing".

Legend has it that Yao Guangxiao once climbed the top of Dingdu Peak, and was able to measure the terrain and rebuilt the capital. Since then, the mountain was called Dingdu Peak.

After climbing this mountain, Zhu Di, the Emperor Cheng of Ming Dynasty, sighed and said: "The wonderful viewing of this peak is unparalleled, and it is a gift from God."

This Dingdu Peak is definitely a place with excellent Feng Shui.

Ye Rongyao fell in a rarely visited place on the top of the peak.

After looking at the direction, Ye Rongyao used the "earth attribute" to sink five large pits on the ground in the direction of the capital.

After doing this, Ye Rongyao put the corpses of the palace maids in the Qiankun Ring into these earth pits one by one, and then buried the corpses with earth.

"I can't help you, all you can do is to let your corpses be buried."

After burying these corpses, Ye Rongyao looked at the mounds and said.

In the traditional Chinese concept, this person can only be buried in the soil after death, and the dead can rest in peace, and the living can feel at ease.

Ye Rongyao did not erect any inscriptions for these mounds.

After all, these palace maids are anonymous people to Ye Rongyao, and they don’t know how to erect a monument for them, and secondly there is no need to erect a monument.

The reason why a person erected a monument for him when he died was actually to make a mark. The descendants of the future knew the existence of their ancestors and where their ancestors were buried. They could sweep the tombs of their ancestors during the Qingming Festival.

These palace maids obviously have no descendants, and now they cannot find relatives, and there is no need to erect any inscriptions.

In fact, no matter whether you have a prominent identity or a low identity during your lifetime, the result after death is the same, just turning into dust.

Looking at the watch, it was already past six o'clock in the morning, and Ye Rongyao flew to his courtyard.

"Husband, when did you get up?"

Seeing Ye Rongyao coming in from outside, Liu Qingqing asked in confusion.

After all, I usually get up first, and my husband gets up after the sun is on the verge of the meter. When I suddenly get up, the bed is empty and my husband is not by my side, which makes Liu Qingqing a little uncomfortable.
