Chapter 5: Changes in the Palace

【Chapter 5 - Changes in the Palace】I went to see your sweetheart

From the inn where everyone stayed to the royal city, even if they traveled day and night, it would take a full half a month. The horses that drove were all good horses, and when the whip was drawn, they almost ran in the clouds. Duan Yao insisted on taking the car at first, but after being hit on the head three or four times, he finally reluctantly dropped the stove and came out to ride with the rest of the people. The wind was blowing on the mountain road, and he felt that even his ears were going to be frozen, and his nose and face were red, so he β–‘β–‘ Duan Baiyue fiercely in his heart.

If Master borrows the corpse to resurrect the soul next time, he must let him take his brother away with him!

This year's spring cold seems to have been extraordinarily long, and the air is still cold when I see that the willows are already red on both sides of the road. The hot breakfast stall was crowded with people, and after eating a bowl of porridge with the aroma of fish fillets, my hands and feet finally warmed up. Duan Yao wiped his mouth and paid, and then went all the way back to Jinxiufang, which was the contact point secretly set up by the Southwest Royal Mansion in Wangcheng. Ming is a cloth shop, the shopkeeper's name is Zou Man, and his daughter-in-law is Duan Baiyue's childhood nurse, who was only sent to this royal city more than ten years ago.

"Uncle Zou." Duan Yao greeted with a bag of dim sum, "What about the rest?" ”

"It's all in the study." Zou Man motioned for him to be quieter, "The prince doesn't look very happy, the little prince has to be careful." ”

Unhappy again? Duan Yao was inexplicable, she had been in a hurry to come to Wangcheng before, but now that she had finally arrived, shouldn't she celebrate it, and have a table to eat at night.

"The little prince bought it for the prince?" Zou Man asked again, "This snack is really good, but you should eat it while it's hot." ”

"Give it to Aunt Zou to eat, I still don't want to touch the mold." Duan Yao decisively stuffed the dim sum bag to him, so as not to harm the innocent again.

"Alas, alas, where are you going, little prince?" Zou Man shouted behind him.

"Get out and about!" Duan Yao stepped on the treetops with one foot and climbed out of the courtyard wall.

Zou Man saw a headache, the prince said that this time he came in secret, how could the little prince still run around, if he was seen and repaid, this is the foot of the Son of Heaven.

Although Wangcheng is big, Duan Yao is not a lively person, so he walked around the street for a while, and when he looked up, he just happened to see a fortune pawnshop.

Fortune Pawn Shop...... Where does Shada live? Duan Yao looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, so he slipped in through the back door.

A yard of hens.

Duan Yao: "......"

Seeing someone breaking in, the hen was still here to feed, and rushed over in a swarm of cooing, Duan Yao was distressed in his heart, but heard that someone was walking this way.

"Look, isn't this just a chicken hungry?" After the wooden door was opened, two men entered, one fat and one thin.

"It's not as good as before, there are guests at home, so it's better to be careful." The thin man said, "Keep more unexpected movements, lest there be another mess." ”

"Yes, yes, you're right, then after reading it now, it's a chicken nest, can you go back?" The other yawned.

Duan Yao hid behind the stone mill and watched the two leave, before quietly following behind.

This pawnshop is not big, so it didn't take long for Duan Yao to find out the layout of the surroundings, there are only two guest houses, one of which is inhabited, listening to the accent and looking at the dress, it seems that it does seem to be from the Western Regions.

The people in the house were eating, and Duan Yao stared at it for a while, feeling a little puzzled. Although he doesn't know much about the Ao Country, since he can unite the Chu State to erect a barrier in the desert, this Shada should have some ability and vigilance. But why didn't he hide his whereabouts at all, and sat in the middle of the hall so swaggeringly, and there were not even a single guard around?

After eating, Shada got up and walked around the yard twice, then went back to the bedroom to wash and rest, and before going to bed, he asked what he wanted to eat tomorrow morning, and seemed to only care about eating and sleeping.

Duan Yao: "......"

What kind of Shada King is this, why is he so stupid, it is not the same as the conspiracy that was promised.

The pawn shop in front of him is still doing thriving, Duan Yao grew up in the southwest since she was a child, she is good at disguise and is often dressed as a girl, so she is not afraid of being seen by anyone, pinching a hairpin and stepping on the lotus flower, she observed the surroundings by the way, and there was really nothing abnormal.

"This young lady." After leaving the pawnshop, someone followed.

Duan Yao stopped and glanced at him, and saw that it was a man in his twenties, with a slick face.

"Is Miss in trouble?" The man's smile is cute, the aroma of fat powder on his body is very strong, and if he gets a little closer, his nose will itch.

Duan Yao glanced at him, walked forward by himself, and said in his heart, you must not pull me without knowing how to do it, otherwise I will chop off your hand.

"Girl, be careful of these, this person is the turtle slave of Hongxiang Building." When passing by, an aunt reminded in a whisper.

Duan Yao raised her eyebrows, it's from Qinglou......

"Miss, Miss, go slowly." The man came after him again.

Duan Yao turned around, biting her lower lip and tears in her eyes: "My master died violently a few days ago, and I rushed to raise money to bury him, this big brother, you don't want to pull me anymore." ”

"Ouch......" The man was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "I wonder how Miss plans to raise money?" ”

Duan Yao replied, "I'm going to sell my brother." ”

Man: "......"

Ha?

"Do you want it?" Duan Yao asked.

The man didn't give up, and asked again: "Brother Ling is also like a fairy like Miss?" ”

Duan Yao's heart was stuffed, and he planned to leave after teasing, how could he really ask for it.

I want to sell it, but I'm afraid you won't dare to buy it.

"Let's go." The previous aunt saw that the man was still pestering, and she couldn't bear to see the good girl's family being abducted to that kind of place, so she simply stepped forward and pulled Duan Yao away, and only let go until she was in the alley, telling her to go home quickly. When I returned to the street, I saw a large group of people talking about it, and when I asked, I realized that the turtle slave didn't know why, and suddenly he had a red envelope on his face, and he went to the hospital crying like a pig's head.

The aunt was surprised, reached out and touched it again, and at some point, there was a small golden bean in the cloth pocket on her waist.

Duan Yao clapped his hands and hummed back to the brocade line.

And the Imperial Palace Ouchi was unusually quiet at this time.

Three days ago, Chu Yuan drove out of the palace to Jiangnan, leaving the Taifu to lead the six departments to temporarily deal with major affairs in the court.

The courtiers were discussing this in private, and they didn't know why the Holy Lord would suddenly make this decision, and there was no warning at all.

When the emperor goes out on patrol, the faction will naturally not be small, even if Chu Yuan has never liked extravagance, the team on the official road is also very powerful. After a few days of walking, you can take a boat south from the canal to Chiba Castle.

Sixi's father-in-law sat in another carriage, and he wanted to go out to find an opportunity to ask Shen Qianfan secretly, this is so good, why did he suddenly go to Jiangnan again. Although the construction of the river embankment is also a major event, but the court and the central government are so non-stop, the emperor is still not at ease to guard the royal city, can he still run out?

After figuring out the holy will for so many years, this is the only time, and I am confused.

Chu Yuan is in a good mood, he has been in the palace for a long time, and it is good to be able to come out and see the sky elsewhere.

In the brocade row of Wangcheng, Duan Baiyue locked himself in the study, and no one knew what he was thinking.

After so much hard work, there are many eyeliners, killers, guards, eunuchs, and palace maids sent out by the southwest in the palace. So every time there is any wind and grass, the news will be transmitted back to the southwest in the fastest time, but this time the bitterness is in the dark line, and I don't know that my master came to the royal city so soon, and the people sent out have just left for two days, so I just missed it somewhere.

"But do you want to go to Jiangnan with you?" Duan Nian was tempting.

"Guess why he's leaving at this point?" Duan Baiyue asked.

Duan Nian shook his head: "My subordinates don't know, but the prince's trip has been kept secret, so it shouldn't be a ......."

"What, is it possible that you want to say that the Emperor of Chu wants to avoid this king?" Duan Baiyue smiled, "To be able to win the crown prince among many brothers, you think that his heart is so small, he will always be haunted by the entanglement between him and this king, and even go out of the city to hide?" ”

Duan Nian was a little speechless.

"Let's go to Jiangnan in a few days." Duan Baiyue said, "Just look at what trouble will happen in this royal city." ”

"Yes." Duan Nian nodded and took the order.

"How's Shada?" Duan Baiyue asked again.

"Our people have been watching, but there doesn't seem to be any movement from the other side." Duan Nian said, "I haven't dealt with outsiders, I just eat, sleep, and sleep, and I don't seem to care about my brother's assassination at all." And rumored to be, Shada and Gu Li are so close that they can't wait to wear a pair of pants, which is obviously too abnormal.

Duan Baiyue frowned.

"It's a little weird this time, I'm afraid it will take some work." Duan Nian said, "Does the prince really want to interfere? ”

"Since they are all here, naturally they can't come in vain." Duan Baiyue raised the corners of her mouth, "You always have to catch something to be enough." ”

There was a sound in the courtyard, and Boss Zou smiled: "The little prince is back, the kitchen is still warm, but do you want to eat it now?" ”

Duan Yao hurriedly waved at him.

Boss Zou reacted and covered his mouth.

But apparently it was a little late.

"Yao'er!" Duan Baiyue shouted in the house.

"The subordinates will retire first." Duan Nian clenched his fists.

Duan Yao was very depressed in his heart, stretched out a finger to poke the door open, he knew that he would go around, or it would be good to come back in the middle of the night.

"Where?" Duan Baiyue sat in the middle of the room.

"Go out and play." Duan Yao replied honestly.

"What to play?" Duan Baiyue obviously didn't intend to be perfunctory.

Duan Yao pursed her lips and said, "I'm going to see your sweetheart." "The one in the pawnshop, the five big and three thick hands are full of hair, eat a lot, and are very handsome!

As soon as the words fell, the teacup in Duan Baiyue's hand fell to the ground.

Duan Yao was taken aback, why did she react so much.

"You dare to carry me into the palace?" Duan Baiyue slapped his palm on the table.

Duan Yao was even more shocked when she heard this: "Your sweetheart is in the palace?!" ”
