Fang Ling grew up in the palace since he was a child, and the scope of his activities was limited to the Binghua Palace and the Tai Hospital, and he had never had such a bold idea of leaving the palace.

However, after so many years of following the rules and enduring the burden, in order to let the queen mother live a good life, and now this sudden immortal art has made the desire that he has suppressed for more than ten years explode in an instant.

Taking advantage of the night, Fang Ling walked out of the Binghua Palace and came to a palace to find Dong Guard.

Dong guard's name is Dong Canghai, in his thirties, he is a five big and three thick northern blood man, when he first entered the palace, he accidentally broke a precious ancient porcelain bottle in the palace, if you want to pay for it, I am afraid it will cost tens of thousands of taels of silver, although the guard's money is good, and there are subsidies and rewards, but it is not a small amount.

Fortunately, Su Guifei was present at the time, so she hid this matter.

Dong Guards have always been grateful, and later after Concubine Su Guifei was demoted to the palace, he took the initiative to come to a palace area outside the Binghua Palace to be on guard, and then came to the palace to help as soon as he was free, and also taught Fang Ling some fist and foot kung fu, so Fang Ling also called him a master.

After so many years, Dong Canghai has also become the deputy commander of the imperial guard, and he is not a big official in the palace, even so, the relationship between him and Fang Ling's mother and son is only known to a few henchmen, after all, there is a queen mother in the palace who can dominate the power of life and death, and that is an existence that none of them can afford to blame.

Pulling Fang Ling to the dark place on the side of the palace, Dong Guards saluted.

Hearing the idea of Fang Ling leaving the palace, Dong Canghai was surprised, but also couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed: "Your Highness, it's not so easy to get out of the palace. Three levels and six cards, the road is strict, even a fly can't fly in on weekdays, not to mention that before the wedding, in order to prevent accidents, the palace is even more vigilant, not only the number of patrols has increased, but the search has also become stricter. ”

Fang Ling frowned and said, "But, master, you often talk about things outside the palace, it sounds like it's not that difficult for the guards to get out of the palace, right?"

Dong Canghai explained: "The guards generally follow people when they go out of the palace, either the emperor, or His Royal Highness the Prince, or the princes and nobles, unless they go out of the palace alone to perform tasks, and the list of this task is issued layer by layer, although I also have a few henchmen, but I am afraid that it is not possible to control everyone's mouths, in case of showing the horse's feet, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to His Highness." ”

Fang Ling also understood in his heart, and he had also heard Dong Canghai warn that Concubine Song had been sending people to keep an eye on her and her mother's actions over the years, although her son had relaxed a little after becoming the crown prince, but I was afraid that she was still not at ease with her royal bloodline. It would indeed be bad if he made some noise, but this exit from the palace was a must, so he continued to ask: "Then there is no way to get out of the palace?"

"Does Your Highness have to leave the palace?" Dong Canghai asked seriously.

"Well, I have to leave the palace, and if time permits, it's best to have this opportunity every day. "Fang Ling is colorful.

Dong Canghai thought about it, and finally hesitated: "There is a way, but there is a way, I am afraid that I will be wronged by His Highness." ”

"After so many years, I haven't suffered any grievances? Master, just say it directly. Fang Ling smiled self-deprecatingly.

Dong Canghai said: "There is actually only one kind of person who can enter and leave the palace freely, and that is the eunuch. ”

"Eunuch, you mean to let me pretend to be a eunuch?" Fang Ling frowned, since he was a child, what he hated most was this group of eunuchs, but now was not the time to care about this, he gritted his teeth and said, "As long as you can go out of the palace, you can pretend to be a eunuch!"

Although Dong Canghai didn't know why Fang Ling wanted to leave the palace, but in this palace, the slave never asked about the master, and he also knew Fang Ling's character very well, although he looked peaceful, but there was a stubbornness in his bones, so he said: "The big eunuchs generally have tasks when they go out of the palace, and the guards don't dare to stop them, the little eunuchs are troublesome, and sometimes they search their bodies or something, but there is a type of eunuch who is easier to get out of the palace, and they are the eunuchs in the clean room." ”

"Pure Room?" Fang Ling realized, he had been in the palace for so many years, so he naturally knew what that place was for.

Dong Canghai said: "The net room is a special place to collect new eunuchs, although the eunuchs of the net room live in the palace, but to do things is to go outside the palace, there is a special place outside the south gate, that is, the eunuchs of the net room to collect new people, for those people to clean the body. ”

"Then I'm going to pretend to be the eunuch in the Purifying Room?" Fang Ling asked.

Dong Canghai nodded and said: "Liu Xiangliu, the head of the clean room, is my fellow countryman, and he was saved by me once a few years ago. ”

"The person that the master trusts, I naturally trust too, so please trouble the master to find Gonggong Liu. Fang Ling said.

Dong Canghai asked Fang Ling to wait here for a while, and then left, and it didn't take long for him to bring a white-faced eunuch in his thirties, who was the head of the Jing Shi Fang, the head of the house, Liu Xiang.

Liu Xiang's white face is beardless, his eyes are bright, and his figure is taller than that of ordinary eunuchs, and he does not have the feeling of yin and yang at all.

When he came near, he got down on one knee and came to greet him.

Fang Ling hurriedly helped him up: "Get up, you don't have to be so polite." ”

Liu Xiang was flattered and said: "No, no, you are the master, I am a slave, this etiquette is a must." ”

Fang Ling smiled slightly, and insisted on helping him up, he also knew that as an emperor, he needed both grace and power, but he never thought that there would be a day, if he was allowed to choose, Fang Ling would rather live an ordinary life with his mother. He smiled and said: "I'm just a powerless prince, and now I have a request for you, Gonggong Liu, you just put aside the red tape, and this gift will be waived." ”

"This ......" Liu Xiang glanced at Dong Canghai in embarrassment.

Dong Canghai said with a smile: "Your Highness is modest, so you don't have to say more about Father-in-law Liu." ”

"Yes, Your Highness Xie. Liu Xiangben answered honestly, only to feel that Fang Ling had no frame at all, and he suddenly had a good impression.

Fang Ling asked at this time, "The master should tell you everything, right? If I pretend to be the eunuch of the Pure Affairs Room, will I be able to leave the palace safely?"

Liu Xiang hurriedly said: "Back to Your Highness, the eunuchs in the clean room are all under the management of the slaves, these are also selected by the slaves, and they are all clever and my henchmen, and they will never reveal the slightest thing about Your Highness, and the slaves will make one more person's name on the eunuch roster, so that even if it is interrogated, it is foolproof, but you have to wronged Your Highness, in case someone interrogates you later, you have to call yourself a name." ”

"Well, you think very thoughtfully, today is the sixth day of the first month, so how about I call Xiao Liuzi?" Fang Ling thought for a while.

"The minion made a note of it. Liu Xiang nodded, and said: "There is another point, I have to ask Your Highness to pay attention, that is, this eunuch walks, he is bowed and bent, His Highness can't be as majestic as he is now." ”

"I understand, what about the time to leave the palace and come back?" Fang Ling smiled, he had been practicing martial arts with Dong Canghai since he was a child, and his physique was much stronger than that of the people in the palace.

Liu Xiang said: "The eunuchs in the clean room generally leave the palace in the morning and come back at night. ”

"If His Royal Highness is not too hard, I think it is best to go out of the palace at the end of the day, when the guards on duty are very sleepy, and they generally do not seriously check the eunuchs who leave the palace. After noon in the afternoon, the south gate is on an errand by my men, and His Highness must have no problem coming back at that time. Dong Canghai said.

Fang Ling nodded, in this way, he could be outside the palace for almost a whole day, and he had plenty of time, so he said: "Then when I'm not there, I have to trouble Dong's guards to pick up the food." ”

"Your Highness, don't worry, I will take care of my mother here. Dong Canghai said.

Then, Liu Xiang handed over the eunuch clothes he brought with him and the eunuch waist card of the Internal Affairs Office.

This eunuch waist card is not every eunuch has, generally only eunuchs with official positions have, such as the deputy chief eunuch like Judd is a five-grade eunuch, the waist card in his hand is made of silver, Liu Xiang gave this waist card is made of bronze, and the production is quite fine, representing the identity of the six-grade eunuch.

According to Liu Xiang's words, this waist card is an extra piece in the treasury, even if it is traced, the source cannot be found, in case the danger is so bright, it will scare the people outside the palace to the point of urine.

Fang Ling didn't expect Liu Xiang to think about things so thoughtfully, although he didn't want to borrow the face of the eunuch, but now this identity has also been borrowed, and it is not bad for the waist card.

Early the next morning, before dawn, Fang Ling, dressed as a eunuch, walked out of Binghua Palace under the leadership of Liu Xiang and traveled south along the palace road.

As Dong Canghai said, there are really three levels and six cards in the palace, and there are patrolling guards from time to time, everyone is wearing armor, holding guns and swords, and the guards are extremely strict.

Fortunately, Liu Xiang led the way, and the guards passed by and greeted from time to time, but no one interrogated, and when they went out of the south gate, they were off the bridge.

This three-way arch bridge made of white marble is the dividing line between the palace and the outside, whether it is a relative of the emperor or a powerful minister, you must dismount and walk here, but out of here, you can naturally ride a horse and gallop.

Beyond the Xiama Bridge, the rising sun just rose in the east, enveloping the royal city in a pale golden light.

Fang Ling took a deep breath and looked at the world outside the palace, although it was very early at this time, there was already a shouting on the street not far away, and the street was already showing a bit of a lively scene.

There are no breathless halls here, no cold-faced guards, no eunuchs who show off their might, but a bustling dwelling and noisy people.

At this moment, Fang Ling made up his mind that one day, he must leave the palace with his mother!
