Chapter 322: Entering the Palace
Ning Jinzhi came and came to Yedu again. A year ago, Ning Jinzhi also came to Yedu for the achievements of destroying the Yellow Turban Army and defeating the Han army. At that time, Zhu Ji led all civil and military officials to greet him personally and gave him glory. He was appointed as the General of the Liang Kingdom by Zhu Ji. Later, he was named Wushuang Marquis, which means unparalleled in the world. Below one person and above ten thousand people. However, later, Ning Caichen was transferred from Yedu by Zhu Ji to Yongzhen Dongyan. But now, Ning Caichen is back.
This news was a hurricane that swept across the entire Yedu City in an instant. No one could calm down. In the open and secretly, countless pairs of eyes were staring at Ning Caichen, wanting to see his next move and how to do it.
"The State of Liang, I will change the surname of Zhu Ning!"
Someone said to himself that the time for the change of the Liang Kingdom was coming, Zhu Ji was no longer able to do it, and Ning Caichen's ambition was almost unconcealed. Everyone looked at Ning Caichen, wanting to see his next move. Soon, news came out - Ning Caichen entered the palace.
"Ning Jinzhi has entered the palace. What are he going to do? Will he meet Zhu Ji?" "Can't he wait? He wants to do it now!" "Yes, even if Zhu Ji is alive, so what can he do? In the current Liang Kingdom, who can stop Ning Jinzhi? Even if Chen Yan is alive, he will only let Ning Caichen have a life of the level of martial arts and magical powers under him..."
Ning Caichen entered the palace. This is big news. Openly and secretly observe all the forces that have changed color. Everyone knows that Ning Caichen is going to replace Zhu Ji. His identity as he entered the palace at this time was too sensitive. Now he enters the palace, his motives make people guess what he is going to do? See Zhu Ji...
In the palace, the imperial study room, Ning Caichen came here in white clothes with Yongle, followed by Li Ran and Xiao Huan.
"Greetings to the Marquis, to the Princess!" Seeing the two of them, a smart eunuch hurriedly came up and bowed.
"What's wrong with Your Majesty?" Ning Caichen asked.
"Your Majesty is in the study, and the young man takes the Marquis and His Highness into the Princess."
"Let's lead the way."
Under the leadership of the eunuch, Ning Caichen and Yongle walked into the imperial study room. Ning Caichen's face was very calm and his mood was as calm as water. He found that at this moment, Zhu Ji could not have much emotional fluctuation to him. A dying person was already in his pocket. For him, his purpose was to come here was just to meet the Lord of Liang, which was the last bit of respect for Zhu Ji, and there was also a big reason to accompany Yongle.
"Father!" When he walked to the bed, he saw Zhu Ji lying on the bed. He was no longer human. His skin was pale, his lips turned purple, and his eyes were deep. Because of his illness, his whole body was thin and his bones were bony. This was a bit scary and he could hardly recognize what Zhu Ji was like. Seeing this scene, Yongle's eyes turned red. It was true that Zhu Ji was incompetent. Even Yongle married Ning Caichen a year ago because of Zhu Ji's plan. However, Zhu Ji has always loved Yongle very much and has a kind of inseparable family affection in his heart.
It seemed that when he heard Yongle's call, Zhu Ji's originally closed eyes also opened, but it was very turbid, a little confused and unconscious, his pupils were a little hollow, and he turned his head with difficulty. Seeing Yongle, there was a trace of light in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth raised. At this moment, Zhu Ji smiled and saw Yongle, but the next moment, Zhu Ji's face changed significantly, his eyes also changed, and he seemed to become angry, looking at Ning Caichen behind Yongle-
“Ho…ho….”
Zhu Ji made a horrible sound, wanting to speak, but he couldn't speak, and he lost all his strength to move his arm.
"Father" felt ache in Yongle's heart when he saw Zhu Ji's eyes.
"I'll go out."
Ning Caichen saw Zhu Ji's appearance, and then turned around and walked out. He didn't have much hatred for Zhu Ji. Moreover, Zhu Ji's current appearance is more like a pitiful person, and he has no meaning here. Is it unnecessary to show off his victor to Zhu Ji...
Yongle looked at Ning Caichen's back as he left, and finally looked at Zhu Ji again, and found that Zhu Ji's eyes were staring at Ning Caichen's back as he left, which made her heart hurt.
"What's your name?" Outside the imperial study room, Ning Caichen looked at the sunset that had already landed on the hill in the west, and then turned to look at the eunuch beside him. It was the eunuch just now, very clever, looking in his twenties, with fine skin and tender flesh.
"Little Li Hai, just call the general the little Li Zi." The eunuch bowed.
"Little Li Zi." Ning Caichen muttered for a moment, then looked at the eunuch again. He was very pretty. Perhaps because of the knife, he looked more like a pretty woman with dark eyes, giving people a clever feeling: "Has something happened in the palace recently? I haven't been to Yedu for almost a year, so I will tell me about the things in the palace."
"No." Little Lizi was very clever. He knew that the lord of the palace would be the person in front of him soon. He intended to show himself in front of Ning Caichen. He also knew everything about Ning Caichen's question. He told Ning Caichen all the news he knew inside and outside the palace, including Zhu Ji's condition. "Which old monster Pudu Cihang built the Cihang Hall? I heard that the money in the treasury was almost used up. Fortunately, the general killed this monster, otherwise he would not know how many people would harm..."
Ning Caichen didn't say much, listened carefully, and also gained some understanding of some big and small things that had happened during this period.
"Squeak!"
More than half an hour later, as the door of the Imperial Study room was opened, Yongle came out, but her eyes were a little red, and she wanted to cry.
"Meet Your Highness the Princess."
Little Li Zi bowed to Yongle, Ning Caichen also looked at Yongle and reached out to wipe off the tears from the corners of Yongle's eyes—
"It's okay."
"Yeah" nodded with Yongle, and then said, "I want to go to Qianning Palace to see my mother."
"Okay!" Ning Caichen nodded. He knew that Yongle was in a bad mood now, so it would be better to go to see Queen Xiao: "Do you want me to accompany you?"
"No, I'll go by myself." Yongle shook his head.
"Then I'll ask Li Ran to protect you." You said eating mustard greens and looked at Li Ran: "You and the princess go to Qianning Palace to protect the princess' safety."
"yes."
Li Ran responded, followed Yongle, and Xiao Huan followed Yongle. Seeing the three of them leaving, Ning Caichen sighed slightly in his heart.
"General, I'll take you to other places in the palace." At this time, Li Zi came up and said, "The general doesn't come to the palace many times. I think I'm not familiar with many places. Why don't you let the young man take you to take you around and get familiar with the environment of the palace first."
"Okay!" Ning Caichen glanced at Xiao Lizi. This little eunuch was not only smart, but also very smart, and could see things: "Then take me for a walk."
"Yes!" After hearing Ning Caichen's words, Little Lizi was obviously happy on her face and ordered a eunuch and two palace maids behind her: "You are optimistic about Your Majesty, I will take the general for a walk, and report it in time if you have any questions."
"yes."
The eunuch and the two palace maids responded, with a hint of envy in their eyes, especially the two palace maids. One of them had a beautiful face and looked at Ning Caichen without blinking, and threw a few charming eyes, hoping to get Ning Caichen's attention, but it was a waste of water...
"Greetings to the general!" "I pay my respects to the general..."
Along the way, I met many eunuchs and palace maids, and they saluted Ning Caichen. Ning Caichen just nodded slightly, but the little Lizi next to him seemed a little flirting. Although the people who saluted Ning Caichen were all Ning Caichen, his identity was vaguely higher than Ning Caichen's side. These people also looked at him with a hint of awe. This feeling made Lizi happy and his eyes became more and more enthusiastic...
"General, this is the Imperial Garden. His Majesty often came here in the past. Whether it is spring, summer, autumn and winter, there are flowers here..."
"That tall building is Zhaixing Pavilion. Lord Yi Lin of the Imperial Heaven Supervisor lives wherever he lives. It is said that he observes the astronomical phenomena and the small ones don't understand it very much..."
Along the way, Li Zi introduced to Ning Caichen that although Ning Caichen had been to the palace several times, he was not familiar with it at that time. The places he went to were limited, and the palace was very huge, like a small town, with pools, pavilions and towers. It was already at night, and night fell, and the entire palace had not yet been visited by half......
“Where is there?”
Suddenly, Ning Caichen looked in one direction. It was a huge palace. The surrounding ancient trees were shady, and flowers and plants were blooming on the roadside, but it looked very deserted. The stone steps leading to the palace were covered with dead leaves.
"Report to the general, this is the Palace of Montenegro!"
"The Palace of Forbidden Gu?"
Ning Caichen looked at Li Zi with a look of inquisitive expression on his face.
"Some concubines who made mistakes were imprisoned here, and Concubine Shu and Concubine De were also imprisoned inside..."
Little Lizi whispered to Ning Caichen, and the latter was clear and understood in an instant. To put it bluntly, it was the cold palace.
"Do you want to go in and take a look?"
