33 The father-in-law entered the palace

On the way back to the palace, Xiao Qing frowned in the chariot and didn't say a word, Xin Ning and Cai Fu were on the side, and they didn't dare to say a word.

When she was about to enter the city, Xin Ning inadvertently lifted the curtain and looked out, but accidentally caught a glimpse of Tang Ai.

Tang Ai was scurrying aimlessly outside the city, his eyes lowered. Xu Zhan drove past her in a carriage, and she didn't look at who the driver was.

Xin Ning lowered the car curtain, frowned and pursed her lips, secretly glanced at Xiao Qing, pulled Cai Fu's ear and said, "Father-in-law Cai, I don't think my father has time to care about me at all." So wait a while, let's not rush back to the palace yet. ”

Cai Fu wailed in a low voice: "Ah, you haven't returned to the palace yet?" Your Highness the Seventh, what else do you want to do? ”

"Hmph, I'm going to Six Doors for a trip."

When Tang Ai returned to the six doors, it was already dark, but the atmosphere in this mansion was not right.

First of all, the little eyes of the brothers told her that she had a big deal!

Liu and Yu moved to her side with a sigh, and then took her to the inner hall slowly, sighing as they went, and their faces were so sad that they could scare people to death.

And Tang Ai only got one useful information from his own adults - someone named her to see her.

As to who this person was, and why he had to see her at night, she did not know anything.

When they arrived at the conference hall, Liu Heyu opened the door and sent Tang Ai inside: "Xiao Tang, wait a while, no matter what the person in the room wants you to do, you must not refuse." Remember, don't say no! ”

After saying this, Liu and Yu closed the door again.

There was an old man and a young man in the room.

Tang Ai looked at these two and was slightly surprised.

She knows this old man too well, isn't it Gonggong Cai who comes to six doors all day to deliver the message! She hadn't seen the delicate and beautiful little girl next to Grandpa Cai, but this little girl had sharp eyes, and she didn't look like a master to be messed with.

Gonggong Cai coughed lightly twice and cleared his throat, hunched his waist and said, "Lord Xiao Tang, this is the emperor's Princess Xinning." ”

As soon as Tang Ai heard that the little girl was a princess, she hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and at the same time muttered in her heart. She Tang Ai had never seen Her Royal Highness the princess, but Her Royal Highness the princess deigned to come to the six doors, and asked to see her by name, and she couldn't afford this "honor".

Xin Ning shook off Gonggong Cai, but looked at Tang Ai vigorously, rolled his eyes and said: "Tang Ai, this palace has long heard of your heroic deeds, and now this palace has an errand to ask you to do." ”

Two grains of sweat oozed from Tang Ai's head. Lord Liu is right, Her Royal Highness the princess is looking for her to do something, and no matter whether she goes up the knife mountain or goes to the oil pot, she doesn't have to push it anyway.

Xin Ning circled around Tang Ai twice, suddenly turned around and threw a punch, and went according to Tang Ai's face.

Her Royal Highness the delicate princess actually said without warning that she would do it, where could Tang Ai expect the princess to make such a move, thanks to her agile posture, she was able to dodge the princess's fist with one dodge.

Not to mention, Princess Xinning is young, and her kung fu is not bad, I don't know which disciple is under the master's seat.

Xin Ning missed the blow, and flew at Tang Ai again, forcing Tang Ai into a corner. Tang Ai saw that he was about to be kicked if he didn't fight back, and he also swept up his leg with a straight step, and the strong wind he brought up directly teased Xinning.

Xin Ning took two steps back, and Tang Ai took advantage of this opportunity to step out of the corner. Xin Ning's side was still endless, and he pushed out two palms with both hands, directly using Tang Ai's chest as a target.

Cai Fu shouted "oops" on the side, wanting to stop Xinning with his own body. But in addition to getting in the way, he almost even accompanied his own life.

Tang Ai was worried about hurting Cai's father-in-law, and even more afraid of hurting Her Royal Highness the princess, so she pushed Cai Fu away, and she couldn't avoid the princess's attack.

Listening to the sound of ping, Xin Ning's hands had hit Tang Ai's chest.

Fortunately, although Xinning's moves were cold, he had no internal strength at all, and Tang Ai was wearing a chest guard on his chest, so he didn't feel much pain. Tang Ai was not afraid that Xin Ning would recognize her as a woman disguised as a man, because the breast protection strangled her chest, not to mention, it made her chest hard, and the touch felt firmer than the chests of many great men.

It's just that the other party is Her Royal Highness the princess, no matter how ruthless and willful Tang Ai is, he can only bear it.

After Xin Ning stopped, she lowered her eyes and looked at her own hand, and then glanced at Tang Ai's chest, then inserted her hands and squinted at Tang Ai: "Tang Ai, your skills are also very good, and this palace is now relieved to explain things to you." Grandpa Cai, you say it. ”

Cai Fu propped up his old waist and said "hey": "Lord Xiao Tang, there have been some bad rumors in the palace recently. The emperor has a lot of opportunities, and the princess wants to share the emperor's worries, so she wants to invite someone to secretly enter the palace to investigate. ”

He wiped his old eyes, then lowered his voice and revealed to Tang Ai the rumors of haunting in the harem.

Tang Ai never believed the ghost story, but after listening to Cai's description, he also felt a chill down his spine. It's either a ghost or someone deliberately pretending to be a ghost and causing the harem to be unpeaceful. The Holy Lord's birthday is getting closer and closer, and this case seems to be in urgent need of resolution.

Father-in-law Cai then agreed with Tang Ai to meet her at noon three days later and take her into the palace.

Lord Liu said that the princess's requests had to be listened to, Tang Ai thought about it now, and he understood Lord Liu's hardships, so he had to accept the princess's explanation and send the old and young out of the six doors.

As soon as Tang Ai left, the brothers emerged from various corners in the palace.

"Look, Xiao Tang was handpicked by the princess to investigate the case!"

"How could the princess be so fond of Xiao Tang?!"

"Xiao Tang is so powerful, he has solved several big cases by himself. Tell me what you're doing when people are in the wind and in the fire? ”

"You say, the princess should have taken a fancy to Xiao Tang and wanted to recruit Xiao Tang as a concubine!"

"Alas, alas, no, didn't you just analyze Xiao Tang and he is...... Is that the one! ”

This big night can make so many people be night owls together, which is also Tang Ai's ability. As soon as she sent off the princess's phoenix drive, she saw a handsome figure again.

The person who appeared in Zongpu Hutong was Xu Zhan, and his dignified righteousness seemed to be able to smell it from a distance of 800 miles.

Tang Ai greeted Xu Zhan and smiled at Xu Zhan.

Xu Zhan's smile was a little stiff, as if he was holding a string, which made Tang Ai feel that he was hiding three points of shame.

Tang Ai and Xu Zhan are almost open together, Tang Ai is "Brother Xu", and Xu Zhan is "Brother Tang".

"Uh, Brother Tang, let's talk about it first." Xu Zhan retired to become a gentleman.

Tang Ai actually saw Xu Zhan's eyes, and then thought of the girl Xiao Yu said, his brain was hot, and he asked without holding back: "Brother Xu, has that guy Xiao Yu been looking for you recently?" Did you know that he has a girl he likes? ”

Xu Zhan's mouth was half-open, his facial features seemed to be frozen, and he said after a long time: "I have known him since I was a child, and I only heard him mention a girl many years ago. I remember saying that the girl had saved his life and that he would never forget her. ”

Tang Ai was silent, and he felt an endless emptiness inexplicably.

Xu Zhan asked puzzledly, "Brother Tang, what's wrong with you?" ”

Tang Ai hurriedly sloppy: "No, no, I just thought of something else by chance." ”

Xu Zhan nodded, his two lips slightly open, as if he wanted to say something, but he swallowed the words back alive, and just stood opposite Tang Ai with a sigh.

Tang Ai suddenly felt that something was wrong, swallowed and foamed at the mouth: "That, Brother Xu, it's not too early, you are busy with official business, go back to the house early to rest." ”

Xu Zhan was stunned for a moment, nodded hurriedly, and then said goodbye to Tang Ai.

When he left, his steps were a little wooden, far less calm than usual.

Three days later, Gonggong Cai arrived as promised, and Tang Ai was taken to the carriage outside the six doors.

Gonggong Cai shook out a set of clothes and stuffed it to Tang Ai: "Little Tang, the inner palace is no better than the outer court, and no real man is allowed to save it." So I'm going to wronged you, so please put on this dress. ”

Halfway through Cai's words, Tang Ai already understood. She took the clothes and took a look, and sure enough, it was a set of little eunuch's clothes, and it was still the lowest grade.

Not to mention anything else, it's always a little good to pretend to be a eunuch. The eunuch has no roots, and neither does Tang Ai, so she will definitely not be seen as a fake eunuch.

Tang Ai understood Gonggong Cai's concerns, and divided the eunuch uniform by two.

The six gates are not too far from the palace, so Gonggong Cai told Tang Ai about the rules of the harem on the way. Because Tang Ai was secretly investigating, he couldn't reveal his identity, and he listened quite seriously.

When he arrived at Ziweiyuan, Gonggong Cai took Tang Ai to enter the palace through the side gate of Xuanwu Gate. The last time Tang Ai was lucky enough to set foot in the palace was a few months ago when she was with Lord Liu, and it was late at that time, and she couldn't enjoy the scenery of the inner courtyard of the imperial family.

Gonggong Cai is the chief manager of the palace, the leader of the eunuch world, and when the little eunuchs on the road meet him, they all have to nod their heads and bow and say a few auspicious words.

Tang Ai lowered his eyebrows and followed behind Gonggong Cai, and the senior eunuch talked to Gonggong Cai, and asked who Tang Ai was, and Gonggong Cai said that Tang Ai was a newcomer who had just cleaned himself before he could get out of bed and walk, and he was about to send him to the princess to do something.

There are also old eunuchs who quietly talked to Gonggong Cai about the haunting of the harem, and Gonggong Cai refuted them all righteously, saying that it was unwarranted and that he must not chew his tongue indiscriminately.

Ziweiyuan is ridiculously big, Tang Ai didn't feel it when she walked around the periphery of the imperial city, but at this time, she was actually sweating profusely, and finally followed to the East and West Sixth Palace, and her feet were not yet steady, but she saw a little eunuch come to pass the word and asked Gonggong Cai to go to the Qianqing Palace to serve.

Gonggong Cai didn't dare to slack off, and he didn't worry about not handing Tang Ai into the hands of the princess, so he took Tang Ai to the saint together. Of course, only Gonggong Cai entered the Qianqing Palace, and Tang Ai was left outside the palace to bask in the sun, and he was not allowed to go anywhere.

Tang Ai didn't figure out the internal structure of Ziweiyuan, and he was also drumming in his heart, hanging his head low, occasionally glancing at the surrounding path.

At this time, a small team came in the distance, and it was the guards of the Yiluan Division who were dressed in costumes. The Yiluan Division is under the jurisdiction of Xu Zhan's pro-army Governor's Mansion, and is mainly in charge of the honor guard of the saint.

Tang Ai glanced at the guards in such a ghostly manner, but saw a person who should not and could not have appeared in that small team anyway.

But that's how the man appeared.

In broad daylight, it was clear and clear, and Tang Ai was absolutely impossible to be dazzled.

The person at the end of the small line is Xiao Yu.
